Immediately after, harsh light flooded in from the entrance. It seemed the heavy stone doors had been thrown wide open. Accompanied by chaotic voices. It sounded like many pack warriors had rushed into the sacred altar room. I heard countless messy footsteps, hurried and heavy, rushing toward me. Then came the incredibly noisy shouting.

In the apocalypse, humanity meant little. Everyone answered only to themselves. But our community was the only one that never got attacked by any looters, all thanks to the top-notch security forces here. It stayed safe until the scientists finally managed to build weather bombs strong enough to fight off the deadly heat, and the heatwave finally ended. Everyone in our community survived.

The seven recruits followed Jack's gaze toward the massive panoramic monitors hanging above the flight deck. The screens weren't showing news anchors. They were showing raw, unfiltered drone footage of the apocalypse. The Siberian Ice Titan buried under millions of tons of rubble, still shifting and causing localized earthquakes. A Category 5 hurricane over the Bermuda Triangle that was violently pulling aircraft out of the sky. The A****n rainforest being aggressively consumed by a sprawling, pulsating purple biomass.

I remembered the first day of the apocalypse when cities turned into hell on earth as the streets filled with screams and blood. I remembered the countless deaths I'd seen over the last three years. The elderly, the children, my comrades, and those strangers.

I have Tibetan mastiffs, a lion, and crocodiles—each one invincible against zombies. Those who want protection, come to me. "But…" He drew out the word. "Protection comes at a price." A young man poked his head out the window and shouted, "How much?" He was a typical shut-in who had slept through the start of the apocalypse.

I heard a mutated beast swallowed him during a supply raid before he could even seek revenge. Five years later, as the first rays of sunlight pierced through the thick clouds and shone upon the earth, an excited voice blared over the loudspeaker. "Attention survivors! The National Academy of Sciences has successfully developed a serum to kill the zombie virus! The apocalypse is over! We have won!" Cheers erupted from the base. I stood on the city wall, watching the sun slowly rise in the distance. My parents, still full of energy, stood beside me. Dad patted my shoulder, saying with a grin, "Sweetie, how about we have a feast to celebrate tonight?"

The remaining tugs were scared out of their wits. They grabbed their raving leader and bolted, while the lat

My chest rose sharply with each breath, blood still dripping from my arm where I had touched it.
