chapter fifty three
The blood didn’t stop flowing. Zack's lifeless body lay crumpled by the bunker gate, his rifle still clenched in his hands. Talia had gone down shielding Miles—only for them both to be torn apart by the enhanced. Barnet’s final scream still echoed faintly, swallowed by the screech of gunfire and the guttural roars of monsters that were once men. Ethan stumbled into the lab, bloodied and bruised, every muscle in his body trembling from strain and grief. The only thing that kept him upright now was Selena. She slammed the reinforced door behind them, bolting it with shaking hands. Outside, gunfire dwindled, turning into a chilling silence. “They’re gone,” Ethan said, voice barely audible. “All of them…” Selena didn’t answer right away. She was pacing the room like a caged animal, checking equipment, fumbling with canisters and tubes as tears silently streamed down her face. “You did what you had to,” she said finally. “No, I didn’t,” Ethan whispered. “I brought them here. I told
Chapter fifty two
The tension inside the fort bristled like dry kindling near a flame. Ethan stood unmoving, eyes glowing an eerie, shifting blue. Across from him, Lt. Grayson didn’t flinch, but the way her hand hovered near the pistol at her hip betrayed her unease. Around them, the convoy group—Zack, Barnet, Talia, Miles, and the rest—stood close, weapons raised but uncertain. Soldiers from the fort, clad in a patchwork of old-world military gear and survivalist armor, responded in kind. One wrong word, and this fragile calm would shatter into blood and bullets. “Let me talk to her,” Ethan said quietly. “To Selena.” Grayson tilted her head. “Why? So you do want the serum for yourself after all!" “She never asked for this,” Ethan replied. “Neither did I. But we both had to survive.” Grayson’s mouth twisted into a bitter smile. “Survive? Don’t talk to me about survival, enhanced. You walk in here with glowing eyes and think you’re still one of us?” Zack stepped forward, rifle lowered but ready.
chapter fifty one
The tires screeched against the cracked asphalt as the convoy tore through the desolate outskirts of what had once been downtown Greenville. Dust billowed behind them, clouding the rearview mirrors like a curtain of smoke hiding whatever horrors chased them. Inside the lead vehicle, Ethan sat at the wheel, jaw clenched, eyes burning with that unnatural blue glow. Beside him, Zack braced a boot against the dashboard, weapon at the ready, eyes fixed on the side mirror. “They’re gaining,” Zack muttered, tightening his grip on the rifle. “I know,” Ethan said without looking. “Then maybe you’d like to explain what the hell Recon Team Bravo meant by ‘not normal’? We’ve fought dozens of infected before. None of them moved like that.” “They’re not wrong,” Ethan answered, voice grim. “There’s been a mutation. I’ve seen it. They’re calling them Phantoms.” “Phantoms?” Zack spat. “You waited until now to tell us?” “I didn’t think Selena could make the serum so fast. I was wrong.”

" Do you even know what you are doing?" Zack looked at Barnett. " Why?" He asked as they load the car with ammunition. " I have been doing the mathematics here. Have you?" Zack said throwing a AK-47 at him. " We don't have to follow him or his words? Ethan is doing all of this for his own selfish gain." Zack said in anger. " What if we are killed? Are you telling me our death would have been for nothing?" Barnet looked back, his eyes landing Ethan who was busy getting himself armed. " Don't be stupid! This could get us what we want. Haven't you always been jealous of him?" he said looking at Ethan yet again " He is strong, powerful and can move faster than any of us. Isn't that what you have always wanted? We won't be scared of walking even when the heard is coming. We are going to be worshipped. Imagine us taking control over the banks. The money, we could go anywhere we want to." Barnet said laughing. " Eye on the prize, Zack. Stay sharp!" " Really? What exactly are we going to
chapter forty nine
As the snarl echoed through the mansion, panic spread like wildfire among the gathered men and women. They scrambled back, eyes wide with fear as the door burst open, revealing a massive figure—twisted, bloody, and clearly infected. The berserk zombie, muscles bulging and eyes wild, lunged into the room, roaring with primal rage. Ethan’s instincts kicked in. “Everyone, get back! Form a line!” he shouted, his voice cutting through the chaos. But the crowd was paralyzed by fear, watching as the creature barreled towards them, its teeth gnashing. Zack and Barnet moved to grab the closest weapons, but the zombie was faster. It swiped at a man in the front, sending him sprawling to the ground with a sickening crunch. “We can’t let it get any closer!” Barnet yelled, firing his rifle at the creature. The bullets ricocheted off its thick skin, enraging it further. Ethan took a deep breath, grounding himself in the moment. “We need to distract it!” He grabbed a nearby wooden chair, hefting

"Are you alright?" Zack asked again, looking at Ethan, who was now standing rooted to a spot. "Is he?" Barnet looked at Zack, and both of them moved back again. Ethan. understood the message well and knew he had to save Selena. Benjamin was going to torture her with everything he has if she refused to spill the truth about where the serums were. "We need to go now! We are not having enough time to save her. The system. gave me just four days." Ethan said sweating. "The system? what system?" Barnet asked, looking at Zack, who was also confused. "What are you talking about, soldier boy?" Barnet asked, forcing the words out of his mouth. "We just need to say save her, and that is all that matters." Ethan replied "HHave you forgotten the part where you need to convince the men to join your cause?" Zack said scornfully, taking a seat."And don't forget you killed their fathers and sons. I wonder if they would like to join hands with a murderer." Barnet added Ethan's face changed as h
