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

    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

    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

    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

    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.

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

Zombie apocalypse? What's going on?” Ethan said. Suddenly the news appeared on the television, an explosion just occurred in a Mall, and the source of the explosion was unknown. This event seems very familiar to Ethan and he immediately checked his phone, the date was exactly, August, 2016. Ethan got down from his bed, everything that was happening was unreal, he was in 2020 a few minutes before his death. But now he has appeared in the past, one week before the apocalypse. Suddenly a smirk escaped on his lips, he was a loser in his past life, but now he ha

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 preparati

Ethan saw a lady with two men trying to force themselves on her. “Fiona?” Ethan said softly, he remembered the faces, although they weren't that close in his past life, but he remembered her as the daughter of a military general, she would be of a good advantage if he could recruit her. “That's enough, let her go!” Ethan said with a bold voice. The men paused, then both laughed. “Who the fuck are you?!” They mocked. “Someone who's going to kick your ass if you don't let her go.” “Listen young man, this is none of your business, stay out of it before we teach you a lesson!” They said as they brought out a pocket knife. “Now are you going to get lost or want a taste of us?” The men said aggressively. Ethan smirked walking towards them, Fiona was shocked, she expected him to run or call for help, was he going to fight

    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

    The bus shuddered to a halt, the engine sighing in relief after its long, arduous journey through the dense, silent woods. Ethan, his face etched with fatigue but his eyes sharp with focus, turned to others."We're safe for now," he announced, his voice low and gravelly. "But we're not out of the woods yet, literally." He gestured towards the dense foliage that surrounded them. "We need to find the right path, the one that leads to Fiona's safe house. It's the only way we're going to make it."Mayka, her face pale and drawn, clutched her walking stick, her eyes reflecting the fear that hung heavy in the air. Fiona, her face a mask of sorrow, stared out the window, her thoughts consumed by the fate of her brother, James."Ethan," she whispered, her voice trembling, "Do you think James…?"Ethan's gaze hardened. "We can't dwell on what might have happened," he said, his voice firm. "We need to focus on what we can control. We need to get to Fiona's safe house. It's the only way we're goi

    Ethan, his senses screaming at him, realized the folly of his victory. The horde, drawn by the fight, was closing in. He couldn't stay and face them, not with the others trapped inside the bus. He sprinted back towards the vehicle, his heart pounding in his chest. "Get down!" he yelled, flinging the door open. Fiona and myka, faces pale with terror, huddled in the back, their eyes wide with a mixture of fear and awe. They had witnessed the brutal fight, the raw ferocity with which Ethan had taken down the smart zombie. Urla with a nervous tremor in her voice, stammered, "H-how did you... how did you do that?" Ethan, ignoring their stunned silence, scrambled into the driver's seat, his fingers fumbling with the ignition. The engine roared to life, a defiant roar against the encroaching darkness. "Get down!" he shouted again, his voice hoarse. "We need to get out of here, now!" Fiona face etched with fear, mumbled, "What about the others? What about the ones who didn't make it

The day was slowly coming to an end as evening descended. Ethan increased the speed of the car, they needed to get out of the forest and stopped at a safer place to spend the night. Meanwhile… Wayne and James found themselves surrounded by a swarm of undead, their moans and snarls filling the air. Wayne floored it, the vehicle plowing through the horde with a gruesome crunch. "Hahaha, you're no match for me!" he exclaimed, his laughter echoing through the desolate landscape. So far, they had only encountered weaker, slower zombies, which had fueled their false sense of security. "I'm so glad we chose this path," James said, his voice dripping with smugness. "It's been a smooth ride, and I'm sure the other group is dead by now." He snickered, glancing at Wayne. "I mean, there's no way they could sur
