Chapter 335
The night was completely black. There were no stars in the sky. There was no moon. There was only the thick, dark cloud of falling gray ash.Jonah stood on the edge of a high, rocky cliff.He looked down into the deep valley. Miles away, the ruins of Fort Ashfall glowed in the dark. The great fire had finally stopped roaring. Now, it was just a massive bed of hot, red, and orange coals. It looked like a giant, dying star resting on the dead earth.A cold wind blew past Jonah. It pulled at his torn gray shirt. It cooled the sweat and dried blood on his chest.Jonah did not feel like a machine anymore. He felt the biting cold of the wind. He felt the deep, aching pain in his heavy muscles. He felt the sharp sting of the cuts on his face. And he welcomed every single pain. The pain meant that he was alive. The pain meant that his human heart was beating strong.Behind him, the small camp was quiet.Lisa sat on a fallen tree log. She was cleaning her pistol. Her hands moved fast. Click. C

Jonah blinked. He felt a tiny buzz behind his eyes. He had turned off the emotional suppression. He had deleted the cold math that controlled his feelings. But the Tactical Grid was still a machine inside his brain. It was still connected to his eyes. It was still recording data from the world around him. It was a tool, and the tool was trying to tell him something.A line of blue text slowly scrolled across his dark vision.[GLOBAL NETWORK SCAN COMPLETE.]Jonah did not say anything. He just watched the words in his mind.[ANALYZING VIRUS BEHAVIOR AND HUMAN SETTLEMENT DATA.][SOCIAL STRUCTURE IMPACT CONFIRMED.]Jonah frowned. "Social structure impact confirmed," he whispered out loud.Lisa and Kevin looked at him."What did you say?" Lisa asked. She leaned closer to him.Jonah kept his eyes open, staring at the blue words floating in the air only he could see."The system in my head," Jonah explained quietly. "It is reading the data from the world. It is confirming what we talked ab

Lisa stood up from the log. A fierce, brave smile spread across her dirty face. She picked up her heavy iron wrench. She slapped it against her open hand. Smack."I like that plan, giant," Lisa said. "I really like that plan. We break the cages before the monsters do."Kevin tried to laugh, but it turned into a wet cough. He smiled his bloody smile. "I am with you, Dad. Always."Jonah walked back to the campfire.He looked at the sky. The night was starting to end. The black sky was turning a very dark, dull gray. Morning was coming. It would not be a sunny morning. The ash blocked the sun. But it was a new day."We move now," Jonah said. "We cannot stay in one place. The heat of the fire will die soon, and the wild zombies will come looking for the smell of blood."Jonah bent down. He stomped his heavy boots on the small yellow fire. He crushed the flames. The camp went dark.He knelt next to Kevin."I can walk," Kevin whispered bravely. He tried to push himself up with his one good
Chapter 338
The world in front of them looked completely different. Jonah, Lisa, and Kevin stood on a broken highway. Behind them, the sky was filled with falling gray ash. The air was cold, but it felt normal. It felt like the ruined world they knew.But in front of them, the gray ash stopped falling.There was a massive, invisible wall. Beyond the wall, the world was completely still. The air was not gray. It was a sick, dark yellow color. The trees were not just dead; they were twisted and black, like burnt bones reaching up into the sky. There was no wind. There was no sound.It was the Dead Zone."This is it," Jonah said. His deep voice sounded very loud in the quiet air.Kevin stood next to his father. He was breathing heavily. His broken ribs still hurt a lot, but he stood tall. He held a heavy shotgun in his hands. "It looks like poison," Kevin whispered. He stared at the dark yellow fog floating near the ground. "It looks like nothing can live in there.""That is why we have to go insid
Chapter 339
Jonah was a giant man. He was incredibly strong. He had ripped the steel doors off Fort Ashfall. But without the Tactical Grid, he was just a man of flesh and bone. If a monster jumped out of the fog, he would not get a one-second warning. He would not get a glowing red arrow telling him to dodge left. He would have to react with his own normal human eyes."I cannot protect you the same way," Jonah confessed. His deep voice carried a heavy, painful weight. "I am blind. I am just like a normal man now."Kevin stood up straight. He ignored the sharp pain in his broken ribs. He pumped his shotgun with his one good arm. Ch-chk."You were never a normal man, Dad," Kevin said bravely. "You are Jonah. We don't need a computer in your head to survive. We have guns. We have each other. We will do this the old-fashioned way."Lisa smiled a small, tight smile. "Kevin is right. We just have to use our eyes and our ears. Keep your guns up. We move slow. We check every corner."Jonah took a deep br

Jonah looked up just as the monster dropped from the sky. It was a terrifying creature. It did not look like the heavy Siege Zombies from the fort. It was something entirely new, born in the toxic yellow fog of the Dead Zone.It was completely naked. Its skin was pale gray and covered in the same black slime that coated the buildings. It was very thin, but its muscles were pulled tight like thick steel cables. It had no eyes, only a smooth gray face. Its mouth was a giant, open hole filled with hundreds of small, needle-sharp teeth.It fell directly toward Jonah with its long arms reaching out. Its fingers ended in long, black claws.Jonah tried to dodge. He stepped to the side.But he was too slow.Without the Threat Prediction Module guiding his muscles, his human reaction time was just a fraction of a second too late.The monster landed on him.The sheer weight and speed of the creature knocked the giant man to the ground. CRASH! Jonah hit the broken concrete hard. His rifle flew o

Jonah nodded slowly. "You are right. We cannot win a war of attrition in this place. The monsters will just wear us down until we have nothing left.""Let's get away from this gas station," Kevin said, looking into the thick yellow fog. "The noise from the gunshot might bring more of them."Jonah picked his heavy rifle off the ground. He wiped the monster's black blood off his shoulder. "Okay. Let's move."They turned their backs on the dead, eyeless monster. They started to walk down the broken road, heading deeper into the ruined town.They took five steps.Then, they heard a sound behind them.CRUNCH. SNAP.Jonah froze. It was the sound of wet bones breaking and moving.He turned around slowly.He looked at the dead monster lying next to the rusted car.The monster was not dead anymore.Jonah’s blood turned to freezing ice in his veins."Lisa," Jonah whispered. "You shot it in the head.""I did!" Lisa said, panic rising in her voice. "I blew half its brain out! You saw it!"But the

The dark yellow fog felt heavy. It did not feel like normal air. It felt like breathing dirty water.Jonah walked slowly through the ruined street. His large boots crunched on the broken gray asphalt. With every step, a sharp, burning pain shot up his left arm. The monster with the needle-teeth had cut him deeply.In the past, Jonah would not worry about a cut. The Tactical Grid in his brain would flash a blue message: [MINOR DAMAGE. AUTO-HEALING INITIATED. STAMINA -5%.] The bleeding would stop in one minute. The pain would turn into a dull, easy ache.But there was no blue message now. There was no auto-healing. The Dead Zone had completely killed the System.Jonah’s arm kept bleeding. The red blood soaked through the white bandage Lisa had tied around it. It dripped down his thick fingers. Drip. Drip. The blood hit the dirty ground."Keep moving," Jonah whispered to himself. He tried to stand up straight. He tried to look like the strong, giant leader. But his body felt incredibly

Jonah dropped the bloody metal pipe. It hit the floor with a loud CLANG.He fell to his knees. He was completely exhausted. His vision spun in circles. His heart was beating so fast it hurt his chest. He stared at the broken monster on the floor. He waited. He waited for the reward. He waited for the magical energy to rush back into his veins. He waited for the invisible System to say, [COMBAT COMPLETE. STAMINA RESTORED. +1000 XP.]He stared and waited.But the air remained perfectly quiet. The dark store remained dark. The pain in his arms did not go away. His stomach cramped with terrible, agonizing hunger."Nothing," Jonah whispered. His voice broke.He had pushed his body to the absolute limit. He had fought a terrible nightmare. And he gained nothing. Hunger without gain. Pain without reward. This was the true horror of the Dead Zone. It was a place that only took, and never gave anything back.Lisa, Kevin, Marcus, and Elena ran into the aisle. They had heard the fighting."Dad!

Jonah stared at her."But I did not forget," Lisa said. "I am a mechanic. I am a survivor. I never had a System. I lived in the dirt. I fixed broken machines with my bare hands. I know how to live when everything is broken."Lisa let go of his hand. She stood up and turned to the group. She was the stabilizing force. She was the anchor holding them all together."We are not going to die today," Lisa announced to the dark grocery store. Her voice was confident and organized.She opened her small gray backpack."Before we entered the Dead Zone, while you were resting at the campfire, I gathered supplies," Lisa said.She pulled out a small, heavy iron pot. She pulled out three dirty plastic bottles filled with brown river water."Elena," Lisa commanded. "Find some dry paper or old cardboard in the back office. We are going to build a small fire inside this empty metal trash can."Elena wiped her tears. She nodded quickly. She was happy to have a job to do. She ran to the back room."Marc
