"That's what you deserve!" Thunder and lightning crackled in the dark heavy clouds as Wayne belligerently had Ethan crippled by several thugs he had brought along with him. Ethan is clapped with immense pain and extreme torture that makes his legs lose the ability to aid him on his two feet again. His eyes were swollen, his face reddened but he didn't yield, he still sheepishly tried to crawl back to Wayne, who beside him was Rachael. She watched the whole scene with a delightful smile. "Rachael... Racheal." Ethan called out to her but she only resorted to casting an irritating look at him as she heard him say her name. "How dare you!" Wayne beamed. "You still don't want to back down!? Are you begging to die?!" He stormed up to Ethan and stumped his head to the ground with belligerent force. "Don't you ever utter her name!" Wayne spat on him and retraced his steps back to Rachel's side. "Pick up the brat," Wayne ordered the thugs and they immediately picked him up. They were on top of an isolated building, with the dark heavy clouds raging above them. "Bring me the girl." Wayne posed another order as he walked up to Ethan while retrieving a Glock 19 from his pocket and cocked it. Ethan's eyes soon drifted from Rachelto Wayne as he caught him flexing the handgun in his grasp. His heart skipped a beat. Was Wayne going to put a bullet in his head? No, Wayne had already crippled him, What's the need for the handgun? Unable to grasp the situation, the familiar sound of a girl screaming her lungs out through a cloth used to cover her lips caught his attention. He turned sharply to the side, his mind became an unsettling sea as he felt he was familiar with the tone of that scream. Just then, through the door that led to the roof, marching out of it was Drake with Ethan's sister all tied up. Unable to hold back the sudden pulse in his lungs, Ethan screamed. "Mayka!" "Shut up!" Wayne retorted and pulled a trigger at Ethan's crippled legs. A resonating bang occurs and Ethan is left screaming in agony. Blood uncontrollably streamed out of his kneecap. "Who said you can talk?" Wayne frowned bitterly. "Here's what's going to happen." Ethan struggled with the pain that had clenched his entire body, unable to move an inch. If he moved even one parcel of his body, a threatening pain would consume him. "Since you didn't hesitate to beat me up earlier, and also caused a scene at my office!" Ethan couldn't say a word, his mind clouded with pain and the thought of his sister's condition and the fact that the person who had brought her here was none other than his best friend. 'How could he?' 'How could they?' Ethan begged for answers to his thoughts. "This is what happens when you mess with me, look up!" Wayne forced Ethan's head with his finger and pointed the Glock 19 at Mayka. "No!" Ethan was forced out regardless of the pain he felt. "Yes!" Wayne replied with a devilish tone and pointed the gun at Mayka who was left on the floor to struggle. "Please don't!" Wayne chuckled coldly and pulled the trigger before Ethan's eyes. The menacing sound that had escaped the muzzle of the gun left Ethan wounded. He wasn't the one that was shot this time, but, he almost felt like he was the one who got shot. His sister stopped moving, blood poured out of her head, and her corpse turned cold. No... Ethan wanted to scream. His eyes pulsed out, his heart berated his ribcage. His sister was just in the head before him. "...." Ethan hadn't said a word but Wayne punched him across the face and kept at it till Ethan was at the edge of the building top. All of this didn't for once leave any ounce of sympathy on Rachel And Drake. They hated him, they were entertained by everything that was happening to him. Down the building hailed a massive horde of zombies that were sluggishly moving along the deserted location. Wayne picked Ethan up with a mixture of joy and hatred on his face, "And this is where you die!" Ethan's heart snapped before he knew it, he was already soaring down the building faster than he expected, He crashed upon a bus before rolling off it, his blood scent attracted the Zombies and they started to approach him. Ethan was partly dead, the fire that burned as a sign of reliance was already out. He couldn't live anymore, there was no reason, his only reason to live was his sister and she was already dead. The woman he loved, betrayed him. The man he called his friend, betrayed him. "I wish I could get... another... chance..." Ethan forced, the horde enclosing him. "So that I can make ... you all... pay!" A loud snarl emerged and Ethan was swallowed into the horde! ... Snap! Ethan pulses out of his bed. He appeared completely unharmed, it was as if never left his room in the first place. "How did I--" Ethan couldn't pick his words right. He was so perturbed by this sudden event. Just then, A blue screen panel surfaced above him.

CHAPTER 16 : ATTACKED BY THE UNKNOWN GROUP
Mayka staggered back, clutching her arm, blood seeping between her fingers. The shock froze her for a moment, terror etched on her face. But then, something shifted inside her—an instinct sparked by the fever that had ravaged them all."Get down!" Ethan yelled, throwing himself toward her. He shielded Mayka as the remaining attackers closed in, weapons drawn, their intentions clear: there would be no survivors."Cover me!" he barked at Fiona, who, through the strange abilities the fever had left her with, managed to hijack the gun from one of the armed men. Her fury shifted into sharp focus as she aimed at the nearest attacker, her fingers trembling only slightly on the trigger.Ethan pulled Mayka closer, his thoughts racing as he scanned the bus for something—anything—they could use. The others remained hidden in the shadows, their escape routes blocked. "We need to fight back!" he urged, his adrenaline spiking as he glanced at the door and the armed men outside."On three," Fiona sa
CHAPTER 15 : MAYKA SHOT
The first rays of dawn painted the truck's interior in a sickly yellow hue, illuminating the dust motes dancing in the stale air. Ethan sat bolt upright, his eyes gleaming with a fierce determination. He had spent the night wrestling with his system,He knew it held the key to his survival, a way to harness its power and rewrite his fate in this new, terrifying reality. He knew he was still weak, vulnerable. There were others out there, survivors, maybe even a group of them, and he had a nagging feeling they were close, their existence a ticking time bomb. He needed to be stronger, to be ready.Across from him, Rachel lay slumped against the truck wall, her breathing shallow and labored. She was burning with fever, her skin flushed and clammy. It was a strange turn of events. The others, Fiona, Urla, and Myka, had all succumbed to the fever in the night, but Rachel had been spared. Now, as if the fever had been delayed, it was taking its toll.The truck’s air grew thick with tens
CHAPTER 14 : JAMES BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH
The first sliver of dawn, a pale, sickly yellow, seeped through the tattered cloth James had haphazardly draped over the truck window. He jolted awake, a cold sweat clinging to his skin. His heart hammered against his ribs, a frantic drumbeat in the eerie silence of the abandoned city. He was trapped, a lone survivor in a world consumed by the undead.He scrambled to sit up, his mind racing, replaying the events of the previous night. He had been forced to flee his car, a desperate gamble to escape the relentless horde that had swarmed his vehicle. He had found refuge in this dilapidated truck, hoping it would offer him a temporary sanctuary.He scanned the truck's interior, his eyes darting across the cracked dashboard, the torn upholstery, the rusted metal. He was alone. But was he truly alone?He reached out a trembling hand, his fingers brushing against the cold metal of the truck door. He hesitated, fear gnawing at his insides. He had to check. He had to make sure.He slowl
CHAPTER 13 : JAMES SURVIVAL
Wyne, his former boss, had been the one who had refused to listen, who had refused to follow Ethan's warnings. He had paid the ultimate price, left to die along with the rest of the unprepared. But Rachel had followed Ethan, trying to get closer to him, trying to worm her way back into his good graces. But Ethan wasn't fooled. He knew her game, and he was determined not to let her manipulate him again. He had learned his lesson. He would never forgive her for her betrayal, for the pain she had caused him. He would never trust her again. He turned back to Fiona, his eyes filled with a strange mix of determination and despair. "We wait," he said, his voice barely audible. "We wait for the fever to start." The silence returned, heavy and suffocating. Outside, the sun was setting, casting long, ominous shadows across the landscape. The air was still and quiet, but beneath the surface, a current of fear and anticipation ran through the car. They were all trapped in a nightmare, a n
CHAPTER 12: ORB
He turned and made his way back to the bus, his mind racing with thoughts of the future. He knew that this was only the beginning. The world was a dangerous place, and he would need all his strength and cunning to survive. But he was determined to make it through, to find a way to rebuild a life, a world, from the ashes of the old. He reached the bus and climbed inside, his eyes meeting Fiona's worried gaze. "It's clear," he said, his voice hoarse. "We can stay here for a while." He closed the door behind him, the world outside fading into darkness. He was safe, for now. But the fight was far from over. The apocalypse had only just begun. The car hummed with a tense silence as Ethan slid back into the seat, his eyes still reflecting the shock of the recent events. Fiona, her face pale and etched with disbelief, turned to him. "Ethan," she began, her voice barely a whisper, "you need to tell me more. How did you know? How could you have dreamt about this?" Ethan sighed, his
CHAPTER 11: ORB
Ethan, his face grim, kept his eyes fixed on the road, navigating a treacherous path through the heart of the apocalypse. Cars, twisted and mangled, lay scattered like discarded toys, their occupants long gone, devoured by the insatiable hunger of the undead. Fiona, Rachel, and Mayka huddled together in the back, their faces pale with fear. The world outside was a horrifying spectacle of chaos and decay, a stark reminder of the fragile nature of their existence. "We won't make it to the bunker before dawn," Fiona said, her voice barely a whisper. "We need to find somewhere safe to rest." Ethan nodded, his gaze never leaving the road. "I know," he said, his voice tight. "But we have to keep moving. The longer we stay in one place, the more likely we are to be found." The bus lurched to a halt, its engine sputtering to a stop. Ethan turned to the others. "Stay here," he instructed. "Lock the doors. I'll scout ahead." He opened the door and stepped out into the oppressive silen
