Caught Between Two Men And The Apocalypse Chapter 80: The Apocalypse Moved Aside
The battle from the previous day had left its mark. Fresh claw marks scarred the outer walls. Spent shell casings still littered the concrete, while soldiers moved quietly through the compound repairing damaged barricades and replacing shattered floodlights. Despite everything, there was a different feeling in the air. Hope. Just enough to remind everyone that they had survived another day. Inside the command building, the large operations room had become the center of activity. The military map Victor had unfolded the previous evening now covered almost the entire conference table. Several routes had been marked in blue. Others had been crossed out in red. Victor stood at one end of the table. Natasha beside him. Claire, Rowan, Marcus, Dax and Captain Ryker completed the circle. "We move in phases," Victor said. Nobody interrupted him. "The helicopters leave first." He pointed toward the northern edge of the map. "They'll carry the Project Eden archives, the military s

He led them into a smaller briefing room connected to the archive. The room was simple. It has one long table and several old military chairs. A faded national flag still, hanging neatly on the wall. Someone kept the place clean every single day. Victor removed his cap and placed it carefully on the table before sitting down. The others remained standing for a moment. Then Natasha pulled out a chair opposite him. Rowan, Claire and the rest followed. For a few seconds, Victor simply looked at them, almost as though deciding where to begin. Finally, he spoke. "The outbreak reached us three days after the first official emergency broadcasts." His voice was calm and steady, like a man who had told himself this story many times. "By then the government had already declared a national state of emergency. Our orders were simple." He smiled bitterly. "Protect the Strategic Reserve Arsenal." Marcus frowned. "That was it?" Victor nodded. "That was it." "No explanation. No evacuation

The reinforced steel gate opened slowly. Years of dust and weather groaned through its heavy hinges as sunlight spilled across the concrete courtyard beyond. No one lowered their weapons immediately. Neither side trusted easily anymore. That was what almost three years of the apocalypse had taught everyone. Natasha remained where she was, her heartbeat had finally begun to settle, but her thoughts had not. The image of the Night Hunter being thrown backward replayed over and over inside her mind. It's not as if she touched or fired at it. She hadn't even raised her hand, yet something inside her responded. Something neither she nor Elias knew existed. Claire stepped beside her. "You alright?" Natasha nodded slowly. "I think so." "You don't sound convinced." "I'm not." Claire looked toward the tree line where the Night Hunters had disappeared. "Neither am I." A few yards away, Rowan quietly lowered his rifle. For one of the few times Natasha had known him, he looked genuine
Caught Between Two Men And The Apocalypse Chapter 77: Operation Iron Shield 3
Claire moved with the New Haven soldiers, shouting orders that sharpened their line. Rowan directed the left flank. Marcus and Garrick covered the helicopter zone. Nyra dropped to one knee and began firing controlled shots, not wasting ammunition, aiming for joints and eyes. The arsenal soldiers fought too. They were disciplined, but tired. And frightened. Natasha could see it. They had faced these creatures before and lost men to them. A Night Hunter launched itself toward the outer barricade, crossing open ground with terrifying speed. The wall guns followed it, but too slow. It hit one of the lower barricades, climbed, and lunged toward a young arsenal soldier positioned near a damaged gate post. The soldier froze. Natasha moved. She ran before anyone could stop her. “Natasha!” Rowan shouted. She crossed the open ground fast, lifted her rifle and fired twice. The first shot struck the creature’s shoulder. The second hit its side. It barely slowed. The Night Hunter chang

Dax grinned slightly. “That sounds like something you say right before we waste a lot of ammunition.” Natasha gave him a look. He lifted both hands. “I am focused.” “You had better be.” The pilot’s voice returned. “Visual on the arsenal.” Every person inside the helicopter turned toward the windows. The Strategic Reserve Arsenal appeared ahead through the morning haze. It was massive, far larger than the drone footage had made it seem. A wide military compound stretched across several miles of land, surrounded by layered fencing, concrete barriers, watchtowers and blast walls. The outer perimeter had clearly taken heavy damage over the years. Sections of fencing were crushed inward. Burned vehicles formed makeshift barricades near the eastern entrance. Several watchtowers had collapsed entirely, while others still stood with patched metal plates and sandbags stacked around them. Beyond the outer zone sat the inner compound that was still intact. Natasha noticed it im

The helicopters started one after another while the ground crews removed the wheel chocks and the pilots performed their final checks. The sound filled the airport district. Rotor blades turned slowly at first, then faster, cutting through the early morning air with a heavy rhythm that made everyone on the flight line look up. Floodlights still burned around the runway because dawn had not fully broken, but the sky had begun to pale behind the eastern wall of New Haven. Two helicopters stood ready. For months, engineers had repaired them, tested them, argued over them, and guarded every piece of equipment needed to keep them alive. Now the aircraft waited beneath the wide sky, their bodies loaded with soldiers, medical supplies, emergency rations, ammunition, and enough fuel to get them back even if the mission went wrong. Natasha stood beside the first helicopter with her rifle strapped across her chest. Her team was already boarding. Rowan climbed in first, followed by Dax, N

Aaron walked Natasha all the way to her apartment door that night. He didn’t try to come inside. He simply stood there under the soft hallway lighting, his expression calm but his eyes carrying quiet concern. “If you need anything,” he said gently, “anything at all, just call. I’ll be there.” Nat

She stiffened. And hesitated. Part of her wanted to refuse. The other part — the part that had been starved of touch, of warmth, of feeling desired — whispered ‘yes’. She nodded. Aaron took her hand and led her onto the dance floor. The music was slow, intimate. He placed one hand on her waist,

Natasha woke up slowly, the kind of deep, luxurious sleep she hadn’t experienced in over a year. Sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling window. And it felt refreshing. For a few seconds, she lay still, staring at the high ceiling, trying to remember where she was. The bed was too soft. The

Natasha stood alone on the terrace long after Aaron had left. The cool night breeze brushed against her skin as she stared out at the glowing district below. Lights stretched across the streets like veins of life in a dead world. Solar-powered streetlamps cast a warm, steady glow. People walked fr
