LOGINSome soldiers formed long lines to pass the heavy grain sacks from one person to another, while others carried them directly toward the waiting trucks parked outside.Meanwhile...Ivy and Darren remained outside, standing quietly in one corner while observing their surroundings.Anya was among those loading the sack of grains into the truck. She specifically chose the position closer to the truck but her brother was far away hence her gaze kept drifting toward him."Doesn't your brother eat?" A masculine voice rang out, followed by a loud burst of mocking laughter as the man passed another heavy sack of grain to Anya.The young girl's expression immediately darkened."I know you two are orphans," the man continued with a smirk, "but Dawn Base feeds both of you, doesn't it?" His grin widened maliciously."Or is your brother suffering from another terminal illness?" He deliberately paused before adding, "You know... the same one that killed you
Soon, the group organized themselves and prepared to depart, having successfully cleared the main monster tide the previous day.The journey to the national grain reserve was a long journey filled with countless battles against wandering monsters but soon the trucks carrying soldiers from the different survivor bases finally arrived at the National Grain Reserve.The place they stayed over night was just a hour journey to the warehouse hence they could arrive on time.The moment they reached the National Grain Reserve, everyone who were chatting among themselves, happy on defeating monsters soon kept quiet while the trunk came a stop.The entire surrounding was eerily silent, as not even a single growl, screech could be heard.It was as silent as a graveyard."Are we still in the apocalypse?" Darren murmured to himself as he swallowed hard.Shattered windows, collapsed walls, scattered debris was on the ground which made it obvious th
"Of course she's alright," one of the base leaders replied before Ivy could answer. His tone was filled with sarcasm. "She's perfectly fine and that's only because she never participated in last night's battle. While the rest of us were risking our lives fighting monsters...she slept peacefully inside that truck like a baby."Another leader immediately added. "If she had no intention of contributing to this mission, then she shouldn't have agreed to come in the first place." He folded his arms across his chest. "Or maybe she planned to wait until the rest of us died before completing the mission alone. Is that it?"Someone behind him sneered."Funny how people like this rarely achieve their goals."Erick pinched the bridge of his nose before letting out a long, helpless sigh."You all seriously need to calm down." Erick said promting everyone to keep quiet. "Since none of you seem to know...let me explain then. Fierce Hunter Base has agreed to comp
The next morning arrived swiftly, with the golden sun slowly rising above the horizon. Its warm rays spread across the land, illuminating the abandoned highway, the parked convoy, and the exhausted survivors who had somehow managed to live through the previous night's monster tide.Inside one of the trucks, Ivy slowly opened her eyes and stretched lazily before turning her gaze toward the truck window.Outside, several survivors were already awake, moving around the campsite while preparing breakfast and checking their weapons.However...What caught Ivy's attention wasn't their movements, instead she noticed faint blue lights surrounding a number of them."Huh?" Ivy thought inwardly, narrowing her eyes. "What's going on now?"She quietly observed the glowing lights for a few more seconds.Fortunately...they weren't red as from what she had learned so far, red lights usually represented danger or hostile intent.Ding!{Congratul
Anya stared at the vehicle, her tears still falling.She knew Caleb's weapon better than anyone else. It was only an ordinary rifle.There was absolutely no way it could have instantly blown apart the heads of three monsters with only three shots.That kind of firepower belonged to only a handful of people and one of them was Ivy.A complicated expression flashed across Anya's face before she quietly wiped away her tears."Come on," Caleb said, helping her back onto her feet. "We still have monsters to deal with."Anya nodded firmly.The siblings immediately returned to the battlefield.Meanwhile...Erick arrived carrying two large kegs of gasoline.Without wasting a second, he ordered several soldiers to pour the fuel around the outer perimeter while others provided covering fire.The moment the circle was complete....Whoosh!The gasoline ignited instantly.Fire erupted around the survivors,
Despite everything, Ivy and Darren still managed to dive into one of the trucks, slamming the door shut behind them just as a massive monster that had been targeting them lunged at the vehicle.Bang!Its huge body crashed against the side of the truck, making the entire vehicle shake violently."Fuck... that was close!" Darren muttered under his breath, his face drained of color as fear filled his eyes.Meanwhile, the other members of the different Base had already been awakened. It wasn't as though anyone had been sleeping deeply. The moment Ivy and Darren shouted the word "Danger!", everyone had instinctively snapped awake and rushed into action.The monster that had targeted Ivy and Darren refused to give up. It repeatedly hurled itself against the truck with frightening force, each impact making the metal groan loudly. Its jaws opened wide, strings of poisonous saliva dripping from its fangs and splattering across the windows as it snarled vici
From the other end of the line came Ivy's voice ....calm in a way that was almost frightening."Maya, I genuinely don't understand what you're talking about. I moved out and left you the house. You should be THANKING me.""THANKING YOU?!" Maya shrieked. "YOU TOOK EVERY PIECE OF FURNITURE! You didn'
Meanwhile just as Ivy had remembered, the moment Maya had the signed divorce agreement in her hands, she couldn't drag Adrian and Jack out the door fast enough."We have to go to the notary's office RIGHT NOW!" she said, eyes glittering with barely concealed greed, as if the money were already sitt
Ivy watched him process everything with nothing but mild contempt.She had already pulled the documents from the drawer.... the divorce agreement and the property sale contract, both complete. She had drafted these exact papers once before in another life… and never gotten to use them.This time, s
Ivy was still reeling from the voice in her head, still trying to make sense of it....When it happened.Bang.A toy car slammed into her stomach.The pain was sharp and immediate. She sucked in a breath and curled both arms around her belly on instinct."Were you even LISTENING to my father?"Jack
