Alex said, his tone in mock defense, "I like this cushy gig, devoid of brutish training and running in the mud." We talked a bit more, playing catch up on their research efforts and what discoveries they had been making. Alex had created an elaborate map, cross referencing battles the Blood Pack fought with the attacks we'd faced. He'd painstakingly analysed the fight patterns, the direction the attacks had come from and mapped out where other victims of the Blood Pack had lay claim on their land. He matched this with the patterns of fires and rogue attacks, applying some sort of algorithm to all of it to pinpoint where he believed The Reckoning would occur. It was brilliant, I couldn't deny

James was behind us helping me to balance. It has been five hours since we took an ill stranger into our house. When we arrived earlier I immediately brought her to my bedroom. I cleaned the wounds on her arms, face, and forehead and applied the first aid kits available to me. James and I are living alone in this cabin in the middle of the forest. It feels safe here and comfortable, away from the people who want to take my dearest nephew away from me. Living in woods is so risky; you never know when an accident will happen so it’s a must to always have first aid kits handy at any time. After I treated her wounds, I changed her clothing with my mother’s old ones; it is the only clothes availa

When they showed up, it was always in a massive, dark swarm. They were, without a doubt, the most disgusting creatures in the apocalypse. Any living thing they surrounded would be worn down and killed, eventually gnawed away until not even bone fragments remained. Even more terrifying, they even ate zombie brains, making them one of the species with the highest survival rate in the apocalypse. They were the undisputed kings of apocalyptic viruses, carrying thousands of germs on their bodies. In a city defense battle in my past life, a mutated rat had torn a large chunk of flesh from my calf.

} Amanda's heart began pounding harder as uncertainty settled deeper inside her. “Then what do you know?” she demanded. {Environmental movement is increasing.} Amanda stared at the message, waiting for something more useful. Nothing appeared. For once, A.R.I.S. had no answer, and that frightened her. She swallowed and tried again. “Is this connected to the catastrophe?” {Insufficient information.} Amanda's chest tightened. “Can you calculate what happens next?” {Current data remains incomplete.} Her fear deepened with every second that passed. “What about the original environmental model?” Amanda asked, already dreading the answer. A.R.I.S. remained silent for a moment before responding. {Th

His comment made Scarlet, Rayne, and Rexy delighted. Biggy was the captain of the Apocalyptic Legion and the most powerful zombie. He was a Rank 5 Honorable Ranked Zombie. Lucas led the Apocalyptic Legion to an abandoned city. Behind it was a black mountain that was giving off a very strong presence. That mountain was the most powerful Dark organization in the southern region of the Holy Land, the Dark Mountain. As for the city… Perhaps no one had visited the place in a very long time. There were lots of zombies there.

Not just acid rain; there would also be toxic fog, endless daylight, endless night, ancient viruses released from melting glaciers, tectonic collisions, and worse. Nicole's chest tightened. She hadn't expected each stage of the apocalypse to become harder than the last. Suddenly, it felt like her preparations were nowhere near enough. "It's okay," Zeph reassured her calmly. "We'll figure out ways to gather what we need." He had awakened later than she had, and retiring from service had taken time. Most of the supplies in his apartment had been purchased online beforehand. He had risked his life gathering more during the typhoon, but nobody could predict how long the disasters would continue.

He approached Shawn and whisper to his ear, “This is how simple my advice for you, just make sure you don’t die, or else, I will be the one who will kill you whether you’re in hell or heaven.” “W-what do you mean?” his nervousness started to cripple his body. He sighed in frustration, "It seems that I have no choice but to tell you," he walked towards him, "Chaos and destruction are on their way to hunt you so you need to prepare for what's coming. Always remember that you are the key." Shawn shakes his head in disagreement, "I don't understand what you're talking about. You must be mistaken." The man smiled again at him, “You’ll know soon enough, but it’s time for me to go so I’ll see you a

This time, my parents believed her completely. Other than the house we were living in, they sold the storefront and the car in a rush, converted everything into cash, and started stockpiling supplies. They ordered tens of tons of flour, bought several large freezers to store chicken, beef, fish, and pork, and hauled truckloads of daily necessities, clothes, underwear, and bathroom supplies into the house. "In the late stages of the apocalypse, anti-inflammatory medicine will be the hardest to find. We should stock up now. Later, a single pill could be worth a cow."

It might even be a disastrous war that could destroy the entire planet! As Javier would call it, building a utopia was like having a bunch of fools playing along with a madman. If the madman won, he’d become the sole ruler of the world. If he lost, the entire world would be gone. The only right thing to do against someone like that was remove them from existence entirely.

she asked. Aaron looked at her calmly. “Do what?” “Act like a gentleman during the apocalypse.” That faint smile appeared again. “Only around you.” Natasha immediately looked away before he could see the effect of that answer. The drive through New Haven was peaceful. The deeper they traveled beyond the central district, the more Natasha noticed how structured everything truly was. Security towers stood positioned strategically along the roads. Automated drones occasionally crossed overhead. Power grids illuminated entire streets without interruption. This was not survival anymore. This was civilization rebuilding itself. Eventually the city lights behind them began fading as Aaron drove far
