Anatomy of a KillerChapter 92 - A Different Way to Play?Nelson was a man who had learned how to manipulate people from a very young age. He always got what he wanted from those around him.A smile, a well-timed word, or a glance was enough to break someone’s will. He understood body language better than anyone else—silences, trembling, guilt… His skill wasn’t empathy. It was control.There were patients who believed he was truly listening, and colleagues who swore he was brilliant. Nelson was simply playing a game.One day, a beautiful gir...

A New Beginning From the End of the WorldChapter 206 - Everyone Will PayFifteen minutes earlier, shortly after leaving the military base...“Let’s go back! How can you leave Jason in that place swarming with walkers?” shouted Daryl as he shoved Elias angrily, his gaze stained with Carlos’ blood, which was still dripping from his hands.Everything had happened so fast that he couldn’t even process it all—Carlos was dead, Jason and Morgan had gotten separated from the group along with Billy, and their whereabouts were now completely unk...

A New Beginning From the End of the WorldChapter 205 - From Another PerspectiveIn a water park, Alicia and Naomi had been searching for supplies for their community. The search had dragged on, as, by now, everyone knew that urban resources were running out.That’s why, when they came across this abandoned shelter, they entered hoping to find something. It only took them a few minutes to climb to the top of a slide.Scanning the surroundings on both sides of the slide, Alicia spotted a machine gun with ammunition, but just as she was about to ch...

Stay AliveChapter 85 – A Complicated NightA few hours later, they found an abandoned cabin. It had supplies left behind by campers who had passed through before the apocalypse began, so everything inside would be useful to them now.Riya took care of lighting a discreet fire using a can filled with artificial materials that burned without producing smoke—saving them the trouble of finding firewood."It’s going to be a problem tonight. The cold could kill us," Riya muttered as she prepared some food she had found in the backpacks of ...

Stay AliveChapter 84 – A Scream in the Forest“We could have waited... maybe someday we’ll find someone immune…” Riya couldn’t bear the thought of taking someone’s life before they were fully turned. That was something she could never do to the people she cared about.“You can’t survive a bite to the body. If the area can’t be amputated, all we’d be doing is letting them suffer needlessly.”Alan wasn’t thrilled about being the one to carry out such executions either.Who in the world enjoys killing?But there were rules tha...

A New Beginning From the End of the WorldChapter 204 - The Message"Oh my God!"As they looked at the massive wall of the community before them—and remembered the iron fence they had seen earlier—they couldn’t help but admire the level of security. This place was completely different, and in silence, they acknowledged the effort these people had put into building something like this.The base, community, or refuge before them resembled no other place they had ever been. Although the outer wall wasn’t very tall, its defenses were in...

A New Beginning From the End of the WorldChapter 203 - We're ReadyThe girl was holding two peaches in her hands, looking nervously at Rick, who was still aiming his weapon at them, while the man beside her kept a smile on his face, seeming oddly cheerful as he said, “We only have two peaches, friends. Want something to eat?”As he said this, the old man tossed a peach to Rick, who stood motionless, staring at the two with his weapon still raised at the strangers.Daniel, standing next to him, stepped forward and said with some concern, ...

A New Beginning From the End of the WorldChapter 202 - The Dark RoomRick, who had gone ahead, opened the door and was left petrified by the scene before him.Bones—human bones. The room was filled with bones, severed human body parts hanging from the ceiling by ropes, and a few walkers lying on the floor. Their flesh had been completely stripped from the bones, and the meat hanging from the ceiling had been cleaned.Several civilian-dressed corpses could also be seen in the corner of the room, with long trails of blood running from their mouths...

A New Beginning From the End of the WorldChapter 201 – The ResourcesIn the end, Rick didn’t give those soldiers any firearms, but he did lend them a few machetes. Without waiting for him to warn them about how dangerous the red-eyed walkers could be, they entered the dormitory from where the characteristic sounds of walkers had been coming. Soon, the sounds of slicing and bodies hitting the ground echoed through the hallway. After a while, the noise stopped completely.With a creak, the door to the dormitory—previously filled with walkers...

Stay AliveChapter 83 – In DangerRiya walked very slowly, trying to keep her steps as light as possible, not daring to take her eyes off the infected in front of her.As the distance closed, Riya realized the infected was much taller than she had expected. Even while sitting on the ground, its size alone was enough to make her feel overwhelmed.Riya wanted to use her weapon, but there was a problem: the noise could attract both the infected and the humans who were hunting them.Alan wanted to find a vehicle to escape. Staying in this place, surro...

Stay AliveChapter 82 – Pure Survival"This way is safe, follow me." Riya held onto Alan, who had a wound on his leg.There was no one in the narrow alley, and the green and red brick walls on both sides seemed clean of blood, unlike other places.The alley wasn’t wide—barely enough for a car to pass—so it was relatively safe.Since no one was left to clean the streets, over time, the corners had become filthy. Those who still lived had claimed whatever area their eyes could see, so they had to watch their step carefully.A faint scre...

Stay AliveChapter 81 - Situation"What happened?""We're still investigating...""Tell me now who went down." Tommy, who was part of the chain of command, had just been informed about the helicopter that had crashed a few minutes earlier."It was the commander. He was on a reconnaissance mission when engine damage was reported in the first communication logs we received."Tommy listened to the recordings and furrowed his brow. He quickly said, "Send an immediate response team.""That's not possible,...

A New Beginning From the End of the WorldChapter 200 – Survivors“What’s going on?”The exclamation from a soldier in the AA squad startled Rick. He rushed to the door and, as he asked the question, spotted five people standing at the far end of the hallway.All of them wore military uniforms, holding rifles in their hands, and aiming at a group of people who were also pointing back at them without hesitation.The hallway lighting was too dim, but the tactical flashlights mounted on their weapons lit up the faces of the men. Seeing that the...

A New Beginning From the End of the WorldChapter 199 – These Are RunnersThese walkers were different from the ones Jason had faced before. Although those had also run, these appeared faster and more agile than any others. Unlike normal walkers—who could even be taken down by children—these were capable of killing even the most experienced soldier.After all, an infected person was just a corpse controlled by the virus. It felt no fear and didn’t react to the deaths of others around it. It ran nonstop, driven only by pure instinct.Boom!Ri...

A New Beginning From the End of the WorldChapter 198 – Walkers with Red EyesLed by Arnold, a group of people made their way through a door that led to a rear lounge via a dark hallway, prompting many to turn on their flashlights.The floor was a mess; it was clear there had been an emergency when the soldiers abandoned this place. If the marks on the ground hadn’t been made by the living, then they had to belong to walkers. But now, all they could do was speculate.As they advanced, they checked the rooms on either side of the hallway. Progre...

A New Beginning From the End of the WorldChapter 197 – Clearing Another Military BaseIn the end, Mike couldn't convince Rick, so he stayed behind at the base while Rick left with a group of people after having something to eat.To transport supplies and personnel, Rick’s group used only five vehicles—two of them armored and the other three military trucks. These types of trucks are typically used for cargo transport, with large bodies and outstanding stability. In recent days, many of their apparent disadvantages had turned into streng...

A New Beginning From the End of the WorldChapter 196 – Another PlanJust as Jason’s team was heading out to Texas after receiving the alert, the central base in Atlanta was already busy, even before contact had been made to occupy a military base.The process of creating a postwar report on the battle against the walker horde took a week. This time, nearly all members of the central base, along with support from the expansion base at Georgia Tech, mobilized and eventually managed to stop the massive horde.After finishing the report, Guillermo...

A New Beginning From the End of the WorldChapter 195 – MinutesHilltopTwo hours after Jason’s group departed for the military base in Texas.A convoy consisting of two Humvees with mounted machine guns, a military truck carrying supplies, and two additional vehicles was approaching the shelter that had to be secured under Jason’s orders. The captain of this AA-10 squad was a young man named Bruno Lastra, who had been training for nine months since the base in Atlanta was established.This time, the Hilltop gate wasn’t opened like it had be...

A New Beginning From the End of the WorldChapter 194 – Something Unexpected“It’s a military base in Texas. They were the ones supposed to come rescue us, not you—but you arrived first, and we haven’t received any response from that military base that contacted us,” said Ben Miller, clearing up the doubts in the room.“They’re being attacked by walkers. It’d be impossible to get there in time and save them…” Daryl commented, unable to hold back.“That’s not exactly true. We could get there in less than three hours on a C5...

A New Beginning From the End of the WorldChapter 193 – A Distress CallRunner-class walkers are a real problem. There’s no logical explanation for their terrifying speed, considering they’re rotting corpses. How is it possible that they can run so fast if their bodies are dead?There’s no doubt it could be a variation of the Wildfire virus—one where the infected differ from the original strain’s undead, turning them into runners.The special suits worn by Jason’s soldiers saved their lives. Otherwise, several of them might have died....

A New Beginning From the End of the WorldChapter 192 – At the Military Base (4)"Zz… Squad AA-1, we're approaching the breach on the southern side of the military base. How much longer until you arrive?"The walkers were slowly being drawn toward the breach by the helicopters, luring them away from the military base to avoid wasting energy, ammunition, and time eliminating them directly.Everything was going perfectly. There had been no complications, and most of the walkers were being gradually led away. It could be said that this...

A New Beginning From the End of the WorldChapter 191 – At the Military Base (3)In the morning, many of the soldiers had stayed awake, keeping watch in case help arrived. They had been anxious since the day before, so they were truly hoping someone would come to rescue them.Next to the window of the building where the soldiers were sheltering, Jeremy held a pair of binoculars and observed the situation outside. There was no doubt the military base was in terrible condition. If the helicopters coming to help saw this situation, they would most ...

A New Beginning From the End of the WorldChapter 190 – At the Military Base (2)One day earlier – Military base south of Washington D.C.Inside a secluded building within the military base, around ninety-five soldiers and about sixty civilians remained in complete silence. Everything had been under control until recently, when an internal outbreak occurred. Amid the chaos, the base was overrun by walkers, and the few who managed to survive took refuge in this building.They had supplies, but the food was slowly running out, even with strict ra...

A New Beginning From the End of the WorldChapter 189 - At the Military Base (1)Early in the morning, four Humvees equipped with machine guns departed from Alexandria and split into two different directions. These vehicles were accompanied by two large military trucks and several additional vehicles.The objective of these two convoys was the Kingdom and Hilltop. Considering that the Saviors had not yet made an appearance in these communities—a rather strange situation—Jason wanted to have eyes and protection in those places, just in case.Giv...

Wind in the SmokeChapter 207 – The Long-Awaited Meeting“Zz… The Harrigans are here. I’m going to inspect their vehicles,” said Erick, the man in charge of the mansion’s exterior security, as he approached with a metal detector.In this place, anything could happen, and the last thing they wanted was a line of car bombs exploding in the parking lot.That’s why strict control was being enforced at the entrance to the mansion—once inside, things would be much more relaxed.“What’s going on?” Conrad Harrigan was irritated by the ...

A New Beginning From the End of the WorldChapter 188 – PlanningAfter the soldiers arrived at the base, many—if not most—began setting up tents due to the limited number of houses available in Alexandria.As planned, most of them wouldn't stay here, since they had to return to the central base along with the mutated infected. It was urgent to investigate what had caused the changes in that walker and send the footage of the encounter to the various bases located in Atlanta.Jason knew everyone had to be prepared for these new walker vari...

A New Beginning From the End of the WorldChapter 187 – Is This Still Chocolate?"Some of you were personally taken in by me a few months ago, and now I'm sure each of you could kick my ass."Jason gave a proud smile; he wanted to praise these men who formed the foundation of his military strength. They would open the door to new opportunities and goals, so he wanted to show them their hard work had been worth it.He wasn’t usually that kind of man, but with the recent discoveries, those three hundred soldiers were only the beginnin...

Anatomy of a KillerChapter 91 – The Red Wedding, Part 13“Is there another woman here? Or maybe a cross-dresser…” Max pointed to the women’s clothing on one side.Larry shook his head and gestured toward the row of regular men’s clothes. “People with cross-dressing tendencies usually don’t behave this normally. Maybe our suspect is also a patient with dissociative identity disorder. And his other personality is female!”Max opened his mouth, eyes wide with horror.“Oh God, that’s terrifying.”“You make it sound bad, but it...

Anatomy of a KillerChapter 90 – The Red Wedding, Part 12“You didn’t leave any agents to watch him, knowing the killer was still on the loose and he was likely a target?” Larry left this line of reasoning hanging, considering that they hadn’t known earlier that Cristhoper was one of the killers.“Of course I left an agent at his door, but I’ve been informed that Cristhoper escaped through the window.” Jack couldn’t understand how someone could escape from the sixth floor of a building.“It’s fine, don’t worry. Do everything...
