Jonah wiped the sweat from his forehead as he stepped over the last zombie’s body. The fourth floor was quiet now. Too quiet.

The smell of blood and rot filled the air. He looked around slowly, his axe still in his hand, just in case one of them was still moving.

He had been fighting for almost an hour. The zombies here weren’t as hard to kill as before. At first, he thought maybe they were weak. But deep down, he knew the truth.

He had gotten stronger. His arms were faster. His legs were ligh

    "When you broke Fort Ashfall," Cain said, his voice dropping to an angry whisper, "you became a legend. People all over the world heard your radio broadcast. They think you are an unbeatable survivor. They think you are a god who can tear down any wall."Cain leaned closer to Jonah’s face."Legends give people hope," Cain hissed. "Hope makes people fight back. And fighting back insults the grand design of the virus."General Silas walked down the steps. He stopped next to Cain. Silas looked at Jonah with deep scientific curiosity."Prophet," Silas said smoothly. "The giant’s body is a miracle of biology and system integration. His scars are unique. If we take him into the laboratories, if we dissect him while he is alive, we can learn how to bind the virus to our own soldiers perfectly. Do not waste him."Cain turned his bald, tattooed head to look at Silas."You are a smart man, General Silas," Cain said coldly. "But you do not understand religion. Science does not rule the world.

    Jonah woke up in the dark.For a long time, he did not know where he was. He could not see anything. He could only feel. And what he felt was absolute, terrible pain.His body bounced up and down. Rumble. Rumble. Bump. He was lying on a hard metal floor. The floor was moving. He realized he was in the back of a large, heavy truck.Jonah tried to move his arms. He could not. Thick, heavy iron chains wrapped tightly around his massive chest. The chains squeezed his broken ribs. His wrists and ankles were locked in cold steel cuffs. The metal dug deep into his skin, rubbing against the thick iron scars on his arms.He took a slow, shallow breath. The air smelled like gasoline, dirty exhaust smoke, and raw meat.The magical System inside his head was completely silent. There were no bright blue letters. There was no health bar. There was no Adaptive Reward Conversion to turn his terrible pain into glowing power. He had turned the machine off to save his soul. Now, he was just a man. A v

    The falling roof crushed the other two suicide bombers instantly. It crushed a dozen guards in white masks. It trapped the remaining Elite Zombie under a massive pile of heavy wood.The church was falling apart. The air was thick with choking dust and black smoke. Small fires burned everywhere, lighting the room in a hellish orange glow.Jonah pushed himself up from the floor. He was covered in gray dust and dark blood. His clothes were completely ruined. He could barely stand. His left leg dragged behind him. He coughed up blood. Huurk... cough. He looked at his mind.[STAMINA: 5%][MANA: 1%]“Seven minutes,” Jonah counted in his head. “They are halfway there.”Through the thick smoke, the guards who survived the falling roof raised their guns.BANG! BANG! BANG! A bullet hit Jonah in the stomach, right next to his massive, open wound. Another bullet hit him in the ribs.Jonah fell to his knees. He could not breathe. The pain was absolute, complete torture. There was no magic to sav

    Cain let go of the thick iron chains. "Tear him to pieces," Cain commanded the two massive Elite Zombies. "Eat his heart."The two giant monsters roared. RRRRUUUUMMMBLE!They charged down the center aisle of the church. They were incredibly fast. Their heavy iron plates clanked together loudly. They raised their long, jagged bone swords. Black slime dripped from the sharp edges.Jonah did not have a weapon. He did not step back. He looked deep inside his mind.The magical System was dark. He had turned off the Adaptive Reward Conversion. He did not want to feel the fake, glowing power.But there were two small bars left in the corner of his vision. They were the basic human metrics the System recorded.[STAMINA: 40%][MANA: 15%]He was incredibly tired. His body was bleeding. But he did not need the System to tell him that. He could feel it.“Twelve minutes,” Jonah thought to himself. “It takes twelve minutes to run two miles up the mountain. I have to fight for twelve minutes.”The f

    The fifty guns fired at the exact same time. BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!The loud noise was deafening. The church filled with bright yellow flashes of fire and thick, choking gray smoke. The smell of burning gunpowder was everywhere.Jonah did not freeze. He did not let the fear stop him. He moved faster than any normal human being ever could.Right beside Jonah, there was a massive, heavy wooden bench. It was an old church pew made of thick, solid oak.Jonah reached down with his giant hands. He grabbed the edge of the heavy wooden bench. With a furious roar, he flipped the massive bench up into the air and slammed it down in front of Kevin and Elena.THUD!The heavy wood became a shield.Hundreds of bullets slammed into the wood. Smack! Thwack! Crack! Sharp pieces of broken wood flew into the air like tiny arrows. A few bullets ripped completely through the thick oak, passing only inches over Kevin’s head."Stay down!" Jonah yelled over the deafening noise.Jonah stood behind the woode

    "You cannot go back," Silas said from the shadows. The silver-masked General stepped forward. "You are surrounded by fifty guns and my best monsters. You will die before you reach the church doors."Jonah closed his eyes. The situation was impossible. It was an absolute, terrifying nightmare.Deep inside his mind, the System flickered again. It was running on its last, dying spark of battery power. It tried to help him one last time. It tried to give him the math.A bright blue screen appeared over Jonah’s dark vision. The words flashed quickly.[ANALYZING TACTICAL SITUATION...][THREAT LEVEL: APOCALYPTIC.]Jonah watched the numbers scroll. He needed to know the truth.[DISTANCE TO SANCTUARY: 2 MILES.][ESTIMATED TRAVEL TIME: 12 MINUTES.][ESTIMATED TIME UNTIL SANCTUARY BREACH IS FATAL: 4 MINUTES.]The math was terrible. Even if Jonah could teleport, he would barely make it in time. But he could not teleport. He was trapped.[ENEMIES IN CURRENT LOCATION: 52 ARMED HOSTILES. 14 MUTATED
