Frozen Apocalypse: A Second Chance Novels & Stories

' Lucas looked up at the Three Thousand Crying Ghosts’ Punch and Frozen for Nine Days. He realized that it was an Earth Ranked Skill! Without thinking further, Lucas fused the Three Thousand Crying Ghosts’ Punch with Biggy's body and Frozen for Nine Days with Scarlet's body. At the moment, it was almost time for him to head out. Lucas placed the Apocalyptic Legion back into System Space and walked out of Zombie Forest. Lorelei was sauntering back and forth around Zombie Forest. Her pale face seemed worried.

Being a saint was the deadliest during an apocalypse. [Ding! The human body fishing ended successfully. Time to settle the rewards!] [Congratulations, you've received: 1 small nuclear fusion generator, 1 high-pressure water gun, 1 indoor soilless cultivation base, 3 premium cold-resistant combat suits!] Looking at the generator that was flashing blue in the system storage, I was elated. With this thing around, our home could still feel like spring all year round, even if the power outside was completely cut off. We could even have a barbecue.

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 remembered the people who were killed by their loved ones because of infection, and those who turned into zombies in the depths of despair. "I'll do it," I said. Uriah was so ecstatic that he almost jumped out of his chair. Iris merely nodded, as if she had expected my answer all along. In the days that followed, I became the research center's most special "guest".

I only joked back that if some massive disaster ever happened, all of this would come in handy. I glanced at the calendar, surprised by how quickly time had passed. Thankfully, the estate renovations were completed three days before the apocalypse began. Even though I already knew no one could escape tomorrow’s disaster, I still found myself unable to sleep for the first time in ages. As I tossed and turned in bed, a mechanical voice suddenly rang out in my head. [Congratulations, Host. You have successfully bound to the Apocalypse Survival System. Detected: initial shelter renovation completed. Reward points will now be issued.]

] [This zombie appears to have the 'Freezer Survival' upgrade and is highly aggressive! [Mission 'Anti-Zombie First Kiss' CRITICAL! High risk of failure if no action is taken!] This wasn't the Vlogger from before. This was a bigger Vlogger, with a freezer? Bima and Lia froze, paralyzed by fear. The massive zombie lowered the chest freezer from its back with a heavy THUD!. Then, it swung the freezer open. Inside, it wasn't ice, but rather, various types of rotting raw meat, and also several crushed packs of Indomie.

Margaret had met with Adrian privately, at some point I had no memory of at all, and whatever they’d discussed had been about me. ----- I thought, for a moment, that I’d finally found where all of this truly began. Then the screen refreshed again. A new category appeared, one that hadn’t existed a moment earlier. **MARGARET CROSS — SUCCESSOR PROTECTION PROTOCOL.** **STATUS: PARTIALLY UNLOCKED.** Beneath it: **PRIMARY REASON FOR PROTECTION:** The words began to load, one line trembling into view. Then the screen froze completely. My phone buzzed before I could make sense of anything else.

The facility erupted in flames. The evolved infected were destroyed. The Apex was thrown into the air. It crashed into the ground. I ran. Through the flames. Through the chaos. Through the death. I reached the edge of the forest. Adrian was waiting. "Scarlett!" "I'm okay." "You're not okay." "I'm alive." "That's all that matters." I looked back at the facility. It was destroyed. The evolved infected were destroyed. But the Apex was still alive. It rose from the ruins.

"The year is 3557. Sooner or later it would have to happen. Our Sun has increased dramatically in size, destroying the surface of the planet Earth city and almost all life, and then it began to decrease sharply, lowering the temperature of the planet to -120 Kelvin. Those who survived called the Apocalypse a "Cryogenic explosion," and some of the survivors proclaimed themselves a tribe of " Born in darkness." I am one of the few embroiderers who have become part of this tribe. We started living underground in a city we built called "shelter," and due to the lack of sunlight, we developed white skin pigmentation and new diseases. Not only have we changed our appearance, but our DNA has change

The timer hit— 01:30 Marcus spoke softly. “Choose carefully.” Jessica ignored him. She looked at the screens. Then at Ethan. Then at the countdown. Her voice came out calm. “Guardian.” “Pause global reset.” Marcus snapped instantly, “You can’t pause the protocol!” The AI responded. “Request accepted.” The countdown froze. 01:29 The entire station went silent. Noah blinked slowly. “…Wait.” “Did we just pause the apocalypse?” Lila exhaled for the first time in minutes. “Yes.”

My heart went cold knowing that I didn't manage to gain his trust even after all these years of marriage. Annie was about to hit me again.
