Chapter 3: PREPARING FOR THE APOCALYPSE

“Like I said, $75 million dollars, and I'm sorry for the damage, your men wouldn't just listen.”

“Can I see your credit card?” The Manager requested.

“Yes sure” Ethan brought his parents credit card.

“This belongs to my parents combined savings during their time as a civil servant, and all their pensions were saved in it. I'm here to take it all”

The manager looked at the card and it wasn't expired. “What's your name?” He inquired.

“Ethan…Ethan Pierce”

The surname matched with the name on the card, but the manager needed more confirmation. He took Ethan to the VIP office, he went through some files checking for the next of kin, and Ethan's name was there. After the clarification Ethan withdrew all the money, it was loaded in the big bags.

“But why would you need $75 million dollars in cash?” The manager asked, confused.

“Well, as stupid as it may sound, the world would face an apocalypse in the next 6 days, I need to make some preparations.” Ethan replied before leaving, the manager thought Ethan was just capping so he didn't take him seriously.

After some hours, Ethan walked out of a car shop with a black sports car. He loaded his cash in the back seat and went in. His next bus stop was to Mayka’s school, in his past life she was attacked by Wayne and his best friend Drake and that was how she died.

Aiden dropped by her school and stepped out of his car and went into the building. He took permission from the principal’s office and the class teacher was sent to bring Mayka.

“Hey, big brother!” Mayka exclaimed as she walked with a crutch, her left leg is slightly disabled from birth, limiting her movements.

“Hi Mayka.” Ethan hugged her.

“Why are you here so early?” Mayka asked, it wasn't time for their dismissal.

“Well, unfortunately from now on, you won't be attending school anymore.” He announced.

Mayka raised her brow. “What?” She was confused by his statement.

“Let's go, I'll explain to you in the car” he said and supported her out of the building.

Ethan walked to the car and opened the driver's seat. “Whose car is this Ethan?” Mayka asked.

“Ours, I bought it,” he replied.

“You bought a car? How'd you get the money?” Mayka asked as she went inside.

Ethan closed the door then also entered through the driver's seat. “Remember that money I told you about?” He said.

“Yeah, the one mum and dad saved for us!”

“Yes. I withdraw all of it”

“But what for? And why did you want me to stop school?”

“Mayka, you trust me right?” Ethan asked.

“Yes of course I do.”

“Then believe what I'm doing. Few days from now the world will be at the brink of extinction, there will be a massive zombie outbreak resulting in an apocalypse” Ethan explained.

“What? Zombies? Who told you this?”

Ethan sighed, “well let's just say I dream about it, and I know it's going to happen.”

Mayka was still in a state of confusion but she has to trust her big brother.

Ethan brought his phone and dialed the number “Urla” and called.

“Hello Urla, meet me at my house. There's something important I need to tell you…yes it's urgent…alright bye” and then he hung up. After which Ethan drove heading to his house.

Urla is Ethan's neighbor, she has a very good relationship with Mayka and somehow also has feelings for Ethan, however he neglected her and went for Rachel because of her beauty in his past life. He's about to correct that, with Urla’s kind heart and relationship with Mayka, she'll be able to take care of her while Ethan would be busy.

Urla arrived at Ethan's house and was seated on the couch in the sitting room, meanwhile Mayka had gone to her room.

“What's the matter Ethan, you called.” She asked, she has a chocolate complexion and a slender shape.

“Yes, I'll need you to believe what I'm about to tell you, no matter how stupid it may sound.” Ethan said.

“Alright, what is it?”

“Six days from today, the world will face a zombie apocalypse and I need you to prepare our survival for me.” Ethan stated.

Urla was silent for some seconds before she burst into laughter. “Have you been watching too many horror movies Ethan?” She taunted.

Ethan shook his head in embarrassment. “You have to believe me Urla, I dreamt about it. And it's going to happen!” Ethan said with a serious expression.

“It's probably just a nightmare Ethan, come on don't be so serious.” Urla said tapping his shoulder trying to calm him down.

“It's not. Listen to me Urla, this is real. It's going to happen and if you don't believe me now, you might be caught in the apocalypse and might not survive, just like that last time.” Ethan tried to convince her.

“The last time? What are you blabbering about? You know what Ethan? I was actually about to cook before you called me, I'll be going now, maybe when you've come to your senses you can call me back.” Urla said as she left.

Ethan sighed as he shook his head in pity, unfortunately Urla will be a good use in the apocalypse so he still needs to convince her one way or the other, but for now he needs to do the more important things. Getting as much food as possible, in his past life the zombie virus affected plants and animals so there was so much scarcity of food, only the government and leaders had access to them.

Ethan went to the local market first with his car, he bought a lot of fruits and vegetables. He was literally buying anything his eyes met, and was buying everything he saw on the table. The market people were surprised with the amount he was purchasing. The car was loaded with enough fruits. After which he went to a supermarket and bought some snacks and other foodstuffs. Ethan had spent more than Four hundred thousand dollars on his purchase and he was sure it would be enough for at least three months.

“I guess this is okay for now, I'll get going” he was going into his car, but realized all he had bought wouldn't fit in his sports car. He needed a bigger car, like a truck. Ethan dropped the things he bought at a worker's watch as he went to buy a bigger truck.

Suddenly another notification popped up from his system.

[Ding!]

[New Mission: Save the lady from rapist]

[Failure - -10 points]

[Reward - +10 points]

“Rapist? But where?!” Ethan asked hastily.

  • 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
