Anatomy of a KillerChapter 89 – The Red Wedding, Part 11Alicia’s brutal murder had left behind bite marks. Larry remembered this perfectly, since he was the one who performed the autopsy and provided the agents with the necessary tools to catch the killer.Of course, all of this was based on a preliminary investigation of the suspects, and that’s where the evidence came in—the evidence that could tell them who was or wasn’t involved.That was what a forensic expert did, but Larry had taken it to the next level by giving the agents, in j...

A New Beginning From the End of the WorldChapter 186 – The ArrivalAlexandria Community."Move all the vehicles and clear the area—I want this space ready to receive my people without any issues!"In the darkness of the night, everyone in Alexandria moved back and forth carrying large items in their hands. Ever since Jason’s group arrived, a special place had been prepared within the community so the helicopters’ containers could be safely placed inside the shelter.Outside the community, all the Humvees equipped with machine guns a...

A New Beginning From the End of the WorldChapter 185 – The Distress SignalAll life is valuable—that’s what Morgan had believed ever since he was saved by Jason’s group. He knew he would be eternally grateful for the safe haven they created in this apocalyptic world, and for sharing it with his family.It had been nearly a month since Jason had left the prison with a group in search of answers. As one of those responsible for keeping things running in the prison, Morgan made sure everything was on the right track. But then, one report aft...

A simple priest... Or so I thoughtChapter 15 – The Climax“Zz… All units, initiate containment maneuver!”“Fire!”Raj, who watched from a distance as Jonathan was hurled violently through numerous walls, stepped forward. Along with the Healing Forces’ special units, he opened fire without restraint on the wave of flames rising before them.But within seconds, Jonathan, now covered in blood, returned to the battlefield and joined the agents, shooting blindly into the blaze.Bang! Bang! Bang!Frederick, who no longer understood anything a...

A simple priest... Or so I thoughtChapter 14 – The Intensity RisesWhen one is on the brink of death, they begin to think more deeply than they normally would. Many, in such situations, ask themselves “why,” but Jonathan, caught in a life-or-death battle, never questioned anything.Instead, he found that if he died, he would be fulfilling a noble purpose.He had never before worked with such wholehearted devotion to serving others. It had always just been a job—something he needed to earn money and live his life.But this job wasn’t compe...

A New Beginning From the End of the WorldChapter 184 – The ChangesAtlanta, advanced training base.At that moment, two hundred soldiers stood in perfect formation, wearing special gray combat suits labeled Arm-3J. These special suits had been in development since the growth base was established at the Georgia Institute of Technology.The Arm-3J combat suits were specifically designed for fighting against all kinds of anomalies. Not only was their armor sufficient to protect against bullet impacts in critical areas of the body, but it also ensur...

A New Beginning From the End of the WorldChapter 183 – What I Want to TakeJesus had arrived a little later than Jason. He had heard his words and truly didn’t know what was about to happen now that they were all gathered in this community.But the truth was, Jason had no intention of leaving this place anytime soon. Even though Gregory chased him down the hallway, the old man stopped when he saw the others doing the same.Sighing in defeat, Gregory said, “Fine, whatever your people want, I’m willing to negotiate it.”And Jason, who had t...

A simple priest... Or so I thoughtChapter 13 – MutationRoarrrr!The creature standing before Jonathan was monstrous to the point it had ceased to be human. Now anyone could see that fierce two-legged beast, bones protruding from its robust body, and a pair of horns from its head that could touch the ceiling.Crack! Crack! Crack!The temperature dropped, the walls cracked, and everyone felt a growing emptiness in their chests with each breath.“Everyone fall back and cover the exit behind me.” Jonathan gave the order as he removed the coat cov...

A simple priest... Or so I thoughtChapter 12 – Containment of the Dark Entity"Damn, everything’s gotten out of control..." Jonathan, even if he wanted to leave this place, couldn’t. And, to his bad luck, he realized too late that this mission far surpassed any other he had ever undertaken.Not only had it involved the mysterious church that oversaw outbreaks of dark entities, but he was also leading a raid against a dark entity of a level he couldn’t identify.But for some reason, he never backed down, no matter how dangerous the ...

A simple priest... Or so I thoughtChapter 11 – Darkness Spreads Like a DiseaseIt is known that the humanity of the future survives and evolves thanks to the contributions of the humans of the past—a fact that is completely true.And in this case, everyone knows how to face evil thanks to a special order of holy knights who confronted darkness head-on and won.That’s why The Healing Church, with its wise demeanor, knew certain things. For example: what happens if a demon is left in the human world for a prolonged period of time?The answer is...

A simple priest... Or so I thoughtChapter 10 – Henry's ShowMain Event Hall Number FiveMinutes before communications were cut.“Please, everyone take a seat.”Haley, along with her friends—at least those who were still alive and had participated in the card reading—entered the auditorium.“What are we doing here?” Lucas looked at Haley, quite confused. He didn’t understand why she had brought them here to supposedly be saved.But all of them felt helpless. They didn’t know how to fix something they had previously believed impos...

Stay AliveChapter 80 – A Desperate Action?“Zz… Sir, it’s not safe for you to be flying over the cities knowing we might encounter enemies.”Alan, who was mid-flight, responded: “Too late, I’ll be fine, and if not, the others will know what to do.”“Zz… Understood.”Riya, who had come to Alan’s side when she learned he was leaving the base, looked at him and asked, “Are you worried?”“It’s natural. Many think that because I’m important, my duty is to stay in safe places, but it shouldn’t be that way. I’m differe...

Stay AliveChapter 79 - Chaos in the Containment ZonesThe death scene at dusk had a great impact on many of the survivors, none of whom, after all, were soldiers or had military training.All the refugees had been hiding from the infected; many were even terrified at the thought of approaching them, but they had to face them, and those were the orders in this place.“Do not be afraid, we have the advantage as long as we kill these undead one every thirty seconds,” shouted a soldier who seemed to be instructing the new survivors.Crack! Crack! C...

Stay AliveChapter 78 - Questions Everyone AsksThe question Alan kept asking himself was who the wise guy was using a drone to lure the infected toward the base, hoping to trigger an attack.It was possible that whoever orchestrated this event had one clear goal: to kill everyone in order to seize the resources at the base.In recent days, people had changed a lot. Most of them now wouldn’t hesitate to kill a good man in exchange for a hot meal.Good and evil had been left behind long ago—only survival remained, and within that, there were no v...

Stay AliveChapter 77 - New PlansTexas CoastForward Base“Unless we manage to take full control of this place, I think the infected will be drawn to us again—and believe me, I’m sick of burning corpses,” Claire said weakly, with no real emotion on her face.Not knowing anything more about her brother, she never stopped searching for him. But she couldn’t devote all her time and attention to a single search—she knew that sooner or later, she would find him.She did what she had always known how to do: take care of others and hope that th...

Stay AliveChapter 76 - Losing Control of the WorldAs planned, parts of the states near Texas, along with many other regions of the country, were bombed with napalm. The streets went up in flames, and hundreds of thousands of walkers were turned to ash.But this couldn’t stop the infected, and everyone in Texas knew that. That’s why it was strictly forbidden to bomb the state unless it was absolutely necessary.Unless there were millions of infected, no attack that could damage parts of the state would be authorized.This led to clashes with FE...

A New Beginning From the End of the WorldChapter 182 – True IntentionsEveryone entered the room, looking around with distrust. As they knew, trusting is good, but not trusting is better. Gregory did not immediately start talking about what his people needed as soon as everyone entered the room; instead, he pointed to the decorations on the walls, especially a painting.While speaking about his love for the painting, he observed Maggie’s changing expressions and realized the other party was not interested in his words. Michonne, on the other ...

A New Beginning From the End of the WorldChapter 181 – HilltopAfter a series of apologies, it was agreed that this whole matter had come to an end. Although some people in Jason’s group were still upset, since their leader had said the issue was closed, no one else decided to pursue it further.When things calmed down and everyone lowered their weapons, Carson, who had been worried about something beyond just their safety, broke the silence. They had been out for a long time but hadn’t found everything they needed.If he thought about it ca...

A New Beginning From the End of the WorldChapter 180 – The Wrong PeopleSome of the people standing in front of Jason and that strange man turned their heads and saw Ezekiel, who had been talking with his group less than half an hour ago, now standing behind them with two of his guards, aiming their weapons at them.Jason, who looked at Ezekiel and his people, then at Jesus, who was being pressured by Ezekiel, instantly understood what these people were thinking.This is a complete misunderstanding!But at that moment, he couldn’t say what he t...

A New Beginning From the End of the WorldChapter 179 – Seconds of DistractionEveryone in Jason’s group had learned how to survive. They were all strong fighters who kept their feet on the ground while trying to save those who could still be saved.Daryl might have seemed uninterested on the outside, but he gradually adapted to this way of life and came to understand that not everyone was bad. This lifestyle led all of them—without even realizing it—to a goal far beyond mere survival. They all wanted to recover the world they had lost.The...

Wind in the SmokeChapter 206 – The Guilty OnesIn the front seat of the black SUV, the young man in an old cotton coat turned his head and asked anxiously, “Boss, should we rush in now?”The man, whose years of fighting showed in his fierce aura and an old scar at the corner of his right eye, smiled and shook his head. “No rush. With their firepower and level of experience, we won’t kill them before the military arrives. Besides, knowing SAMCRO’s vengeful nature, it’s certain they’ll come after us later.”“Damn, things in Londo...

A New Beginning From the End of the WorldChapter 178 – TroubleThe Kingdom CommunityAt that moment, Ezekiel returned to his throne and sat down; Jerry and Richard stood at his sides, as usual.The man named Jesus stepped forward, bowed, and said, “Your Majesty the King, on behalf of Hilltop, I’ve come to the Kingdom to seek your help.”Ezekiel crossed one leg over the other to think more clearly; resting his left arm on his knee and his right elbow on the armrest, he said, “Jesus, we’ve always been allies, and the exchange of goods bet...

A New Beginning From the End of the WorldChapter 177 – The ReasonEzekiel looked at Glenn and Daryl, hoping they wouldn’t do anything rash, but when he turned his gaze back to Jason, he was surprised to find that Shiva, still growling, had closed her eyes as Jason stroked her furry head.After a few seconds, a dead silence fell over the area. Ezekiel’s people couldn’t imagine Shiva tearing off the guest’s arm, and Jason’s people didn’t want to see that massive cat hurt Jason.Glenn wanted to approach Jason and stop him, but that enor...

Anatomy of a KillerChapter 88 - The Red Wedding, Part 10Nighttime, on the outskirts of an abandoned factory.“We’ve prepared the zones for whatever it is you’re going to do. We also moved the boxes without opening them.” A man handed Larry a set of papers detailing everything that had been moved for his review.Larry took the sheets and burned them, then asked, “What about the more technical stuff?”“Yes, Larry, but listen carefully—this isn’t black magic. What I built for you is a modular system with an SDR microtransmitter cont...

Anatomy of a KillerChapter 87 - The Red Wedding, Part 9Larry remained silent and asked, “Is Williams the one who was upset because Alicia was pregnant?”“That’s the one.” At this point, nothing surprised Jack anymore—Alicia was a box full of surprises that was pointless to try and understand.After hanging up the phone, Jack knew that now, having one of the killers in custody, it would be easier to catch the second.“I have a question. How did you find such irrefutable evidence? From the look on your face, something’s bothering you...

Anatomy of a KillerChapter 86 – The Red Wedding, Part 8Alonso seemed to think about the question Markus had asked him for a moment. "Late last year, on a snowy Friday afternoon, there weren’t many patients in the hospital."“She came to me and asked if I could give her a private diagnosis. She said there were daggers of guilt that constantly haunted her, disturbing her everyday life.”After saying that, Alonso continued explaining Alicia’s case. “I conducted a thorough diagnosis and discovered that she had multiple personaliti...

A New Beginning From the End of the WorldChapter 176 – Jason's Love for CatsWhatever the future might hold, Jason wanted to give his best at all times and make every drop of sweat and blood worth it. Right now, people who chose to join his community were dying every day in pursuit of a single goal.Everyone was desperate after more than a year with walkers; the few who remained were true survivors, and the strongest often ended up eliminating one another.Jason felt like he hadn’t had a single moment of peace since the beginning—always ...

A New Beginning From the End of the WorldChapter 175 – That’s Not a CatToday was a special day, and Ezekiel was feeling truly happy—not only because someone very special was interested in interacting peacefully with his community, but also because apparent benefits could come from it.After chatting for a while, Ezekiel was surprised to discover that this man named Jason seemed very well informed about the current state of the world and was a versatile leader who could adapt to any situation with little trouble.On their way to a more suita...

Stay Alive Chapter 75 - This Is Just the BeginningJohn looked at all the soldiers standing before him and said, “We’ve lost the military chain of command, communications are down, and everything leads to one conclusion… We’re on our own. There’s no more government.”“If any of you still think things will go back to normal, you’re only lying to yourselves, because the world as we knew it is gone. From now on, we carry a very important task: to slowly reclaim everything that was taken from us.”John’s voice was strong, dignified...

Stay AliveChapter 74 - An OpportunityThe ships had docked on the island, which appeared to be completely infested with the infected. The estimated population, including tourists, was around six thousand."Zz... Have the armored vehicles clear the way. Don’t waste high-caliber ammunition—it’s unnecessary." John, watching as the island appeared to be overrun, shook his head in mild confusion."People on the yachts most likely brought the virus to this island," said Claire, who served as a logistics assistant."That’s over...
