The road to Ethan Miller’s farm should have taken twenty minutes. It took nearly an hour.Cars had begun abandoning the roads. Some had simply run out of fuel. Others had crashed after the traffic lights stopped working. Liana watched the chaos through the windshield. Everywhere she looked, people were beginning to panic. A gas station had already closed. A convenience store had its shutters down. A group of people were arguing outside a pharmacy. The world was changing faster than she remembered.“Are you sure this man is still there?” Adrian asked.“I don’t know.”“That’s reassuring.”Liana glanced at him. “You can turn around.”“I’m not complaining.” He kept driving.After another fifteen minutes, they left the main road. The buildings became fewer. Then the road turned into dirt. Finally, a small farmhouse appeared beyond a wooden fence.Liana recognized it immediately. “This is the place.”Adrian stopped the vehicle. Liana stepped out. The property looked abandoned. The grass was

Liana couldn’t move.She stared through the reinforced glass at Daniel. The boy who had arrived less than ten minutes ago was no longer behaving like a sick child. His movements were wrong—too fast, too violent. His fingers dragged across the glass.Scratch. Scratch.His mother sobbed behind him. “Daniel…”Liana forced herself to breathe. “Don’t go near him.”The woman turned toward her. “Please! That’s my son!”“I know.”“He’s sick! We need a hospital!”“There aren’t any hospitals you can safely take him to anymore.”The woman’s face collapsed. “What are you saying?”Liana didn’t answer. Because she didn’t know how to explain what was happening. In her first life, the infected had appeared much later. They had been sick for days before becoming dangerous. This time, the transformation was happening within hours. The timeline had changed again. Or perhaps—her actions had caused something worse.---Adrian stepped beside her. “What do we do?”Liana looked at the medical scanner.[Unk

The headlights multiplied in the darkness. Five vehicles became eight. Eight became twelve.Liana stared at the security monitor.[Estimated hostile survivors: 47.]Forty-seven people. Her fingers tightened around the edge of the table.“We can’t fight forty-seven people head-on,” Ethan said.“We don’t need to.” Liana looked at him.The old farmer pointed toward the western field. “They’re expecting a house full of frightened civilians.”Adrian understood immediately. “Then we make them think we’re not.”Liana opened the defense panel. The farmhouse had several advantages—the reinforced fence, the electric perimeter, the security cameras, the narrow road, the darkness. And most importantly, the attackers didn’t know the property. She did.“How much fuel do we have?” Adrian asked.“Enough.”“Water?”“Enough.”“Food?”“Enough.”Adrian smiled. “Then we don’t leave.”Liana nodded. “We make them leave.”---The first vehicle stopped outside the gate. A man stepped out. He carried a rifle.

The nine survivors stood outside Liana’s gate. Nobody spoke. They looked exhausted. Two children clung to their mother. An old woman leaned heavily against a teenage boy. A man in a dirty mechanic uniform kept glancing at the electrified fence. And a woman with a medical bag stood at the front.Adrian lowered his weapon. “Quarantine first,” he said.Liana nodded. “No exceptions.”The woman stepped forward. “We understand.” Her voice was calm despite her trembling hands. “My name is Clara. I’m a nurse.”Liana looked at the others. “Names. One by one.”The mechanic introduced himself as Victor. The older woman was Maria. The teenage boy was Leo. The mother was Grace. The two children were Mia and Noah. The remaining two were Samuel, a former security guard, and Daniel, a schoolteacher.Liana studied their faces. In her first life, she had learned one painful truth. People didn’t become monsters because the apocalypse started. The a

The vehicles disappeared into the darkness. But nobody celebrated.Liana kept staring at the road. Kane hadn’t looked afraid. He had looked confident. That bothered her more than the attack itself.Adrian walked toward her. “You’re thinking about his ability.”She nodded. “The system said he has mutation characteristics.”“Then we need to know what he can do.”Before she could answer—BEEP.The system appeared.[Emergency Analysis Complete.] [Target: Kane] [Mutation Type: Physical Enhancement] [Strength: Extremely High] [Speed: High] [Pain Resistance: Extreme] [Regeneration: Moderate]Liana stared at the screen. “He’s a monster.”Adrian shook his head. “Not yet.”She looked at him. “He’s still human.”“That’s what makes him dangerous.”---They inspected the perimeter. Several sections of the fence had been damaged. One sec
