09:26...in the extreme heat. I felt absolutely nothing. This was only day one. The real show hadn't even started.
09:33Day three. The city's power grid collapsed entirely. Transformers blew across the skyline.
09:39A morbid fireworks display. No power, no water. For high-rise residents, that was a death sentence.
09:46Dorian called 17 times. I activated an old burner and answered.
09:50Ria! Where are you? Any water on that lot?
09:55So hot. Water.
09:58I took a slow sip of iced mint water. Then I dropped my voice into a raspy wheeze.
10:02I'm dying. So hot. So thirsty.
10:07Useless bitch! I knew I shouldn't have given you that land! I could have sold it for water!
10:16I pulled up a camera feed near his building. Mobs already smashing ground floor windows, looting everything.
10:21His penthouse was physically secure, for now. But without the elevator, descending in this heat meant death by dehydration.
10:27I looked at my hydroponic trays. Under purple LED lights, the lettuce was vibrant green.
10:32The drip irrigation system released one drop of nutrient solution every ten minutes.
10:36In the silence underground, it sounded like music. No rush. I had all the time in the world to watch
10:41them turn from humans into ghouls.
10:43Half a month passed. The surface was charcoal. Mountains in the distance. Black, smoldering tombs.
10:50Except for my spot. I had tried to hide it, but I had made one mistake.
10:54I'd covered the ventilation opening with dead grass. But the moisture venting up from underground turned that patch green again.
11:01Against a landscape of black ash. 2 p.m. perimeter alarm. A civilian drone wobbled up from the valley below.
11:08Erratic flight.
11:09The pilot was clearly running on fumes. The camera circled, then locked onto that green patch. It rapidly descended for
11:15a closer look.
11:16My stomach dropped. I was exposed. Not by Dorian. By scavengers.
11:20In the apocalypse, green meant one thing. Water.
11:23Water. Underneath.
11:25I stared at the monitor and reached under my pillow. My hand wrapped around the cold grip of my compound
11:30crossbow.
11:31If I couldn't hide, I had to silence them.
11:34On screen, the drones suddenly jerked around and shot back down the mountain.
11:37I knew exactly what was coming. They'd swarm this hill like locusts.
11:42The most dangerous moment had arrived.
11:45Two figures materialized on my monitors at the mountain's base.
11:49They were local thugs. One tall, one short.
11:52They clutched rusted machetes and tracked the drone's GPS.
11:56They wanted this windfall for themselves.
11:58I tweaked the zoom.
11:59The raw greed in their eyes was crystal clear.
12:02Boss, you think there's anything in this dump?
12:04Shut up!
12:05The drone saw green grass. There's water down there.
12:09We get that, we're kings!
12:10I sat in the climate-controlled monitoring room, 20 meters underground, holding a glass of iced cola.
12:16Outside, it was 131 degrees Fahrenheit.
12:19With every step, they were burning their last drops of life.
12:22I loaded a barbed steel bolt into my crossbow, designed to pierce a boar's skull.
12:27They had taken the trouble to visit.
12:28They weren't leaving.
12:29My fortress needed a blood sacrifice anyway.
12:32They crawled their way up to the mid-mountain slope, and found the ventilation grate hidden beneath the trash.
12:40Boss! Wind! It's cold wind!
12:43The two men went farrow.
12:44They tore at the iron grate and tried to bend the steel rebar with their bare hands.
12:47I didn't give them a chance to break anything.
12:49I stood behind the firing port, just inside the ventilation shaft.
12:53The crosshairs of my skin locked firmly onto the fat one's femoral artery.
12:57The bolt instantly punched through his thigh.
12:59His agonizing scream scattered a flock of half-twenties.
13:02Before the second third could even process the spray of blood, I rapidly reloaded.
13:07My second bolt drove straight through his shoulder.
13:10They collapsed onto the ground.
13:11Their spilled blood instantly sizzled and evaporated on the scorching stain.
13:15I didn't bother giving them mercy shots.
13:17I just watched the monitors with cold detachment.
13:20Watched them struggle, slow down, and eventually bake into two shriveled husks.
13:24This was my first lesson in my second life.
13:26Mercy to evaders is cruelty to myself.
13:323 AM. The coolest time of the day.
13:35The thermometer still read 113 degrees Fahrenheit.
13:39I strapped on a Kevlar stab-proof vest, grabbed a tactical folding shovel, and packed open the heavy blast door.
13:47The two corpses were completely stiff and gave off a foul, burnt smell.
13:50Without the slightest pity, I dragged them by the legs into a deep, shaded ditch in the mountains.
13:55Between the extreme heat and the local scavengers, the bodies would vanish without a trace.
13:59I did manage to loot the drone's remote controller off them.
14:03The drone itself was a huge windfall.
14:05This is some good stuff.
14:06A high-end DJI model.
14:08With this, my surveillance radius just expanded to three miles.
14:12Back in the safety of the bunker, I meticulously sterilized the controller with rubbing alcohol.
14:17That green space is way too noticeable.
14:21But those bodies will speak for me.
14:25With the local pests dealt with, I turned my attention back to the city.
14:29Using a backdoor I'd planted months earlier, I tapped into the security feed of Dorian's luxury high-rise.
14:35Today was day seven of zero power and zero water.
14:39Through the feed of his massive living room, I saw the horror inside.
14:43Mila was slumped on the floor.
14:45Her once-flawless skin was slick with grime.
14:47A thick crust of white salt had formed on her designer silk pyjamas from dried sweat.
14:52The hyaluronic acid fillers in her face had warped violently under the extreme heat, making her look grotesque.
14:58A decorative vase lay shattered on the floor.
15:00They'd drunk all the water inside.
15:03Dorian was holding an empty Evian bottle, desperately trying to piss into it.
15:07His hands shook violently.
15:09He hesitated.
15:11But the sheer agony of thirst forced him to abandon his dignity.
15:15This was the mansion they stole from me.
15:17Now it was a literal purgatory.
15:19Just as I was watering my hydroponic lettuce, the burner phone lit up.
15:23Dorian, I took my time.
15:25I washed my hands, dried them on a clean towel.
15:27Then I answered and put him on speaker.
15:30Ria, Ria, save me.
15:32I know you hoarded water.
15:34I'm your husband.
15:35We used to love each other.
15:37Ria, I was wrong.
15:39Just one sip.
15:40I'll be your slave.
15:41I'll do anything.
15:42Hearing their wails, I felt nothing but the thrill of revenge.
15:47You want water?
15:48Remember that jade necklace?
15:50If you swallow it, I'll consider giving you a bottle.
15:54Silence, as if they hadn't quite processed the demand.
15:58I thought I was making a vulgar joke, and I underestimated what people become at the edge
16:03of survival.
16:04The phone suddenly rang, followed by fierce struggles and a woman's terrified scream.
16:09Darian, are you insane?
16:12This is stone.
16:14I'll die.
16:15Swallow it.
16:16Now.
16:17So she gives us water.
16:18There was a crash, and a body fell to the hardwood floor.
16:22Dorian pinned her to the ground and forced the jade necklace down her throat, their shadows
16:27fighting on my blacked-out monitor.
16:30Two people who once swore eternal love now fought bitterly over just half a bottle of
16:35water.
16:36Bored of this farce.
16:37I hung up the phone, knowing neither of them would die today.
16:42And this is only the beginning.
16:43They still have the strength to attack each other, which means they are not desperate enough
16:47yet.
16:48I will wait and watch them rot, little by little, until they become groveling worms begging
16:53on their knees.
16:54The outside world was burning in hell.
16:57Surface temperature shattering 144 heat.
16:59Inside my fortress, 20 meters below the earth, the thermostat displayed a perfect 75
17:03for a heat.
17:04I had turned the air filtration setting to celebrate successfully system down to a dispatching
17:08two raiders to toast Dorian finally exposing his true colors.
17:11I decided to treat myself.
17:12I opened the heavy door.
17:13A cloud of icy vapor rolled out.
17:16I carefully selected an M9 grade Australian Wagyu ribeye.
17:19Once thawed and freshly cracked black pepper, the cast iron skillet was smoking hot.
17:24Then I dropped in a pat of butter.
17:25That glorious sound echoing in my quiet dining room was beautiful.
17:29The aroma of the Maillard reaction instantly filled the air.
17:31I pulled a 1982 Lafotte from the wine rack, let it breathe for 30 minutes, and poured it
17:36into a crystal glass.
17:37Under the warm dining lights, I sliced off a piece of nicely browned steak and put it
17:40in my mouth.
17:41It was juicy and tender inside.
17:42As the fat melted across my tongue, a wave of absolute euphoria washed over me.
17:46At this moment, I wasn't just eating steak.
17:48I was savoring my survival and my dignity.
17:50This was in brutal contrast hell outside and a Michelin star experience.
17:54Inside.
17:54I hardened my res lifetime.
17:55I would never let anyone destroy my peace.
17:57If anyone dared reach for my plate, I would chop their hands off.
18:00Belly full and slightly buzzed.
18:01I logged onto the fragmented local interwerp.
18:03I wanted to see how badly the world was decaying.
18:05Dorian's building group chat had descended into total anarchy.
18:07The veneer of polite society had vanished overnight.
18:09Law and morality were dead concepts.
18:11Residents were forming mutual aid squads.
18:13This was just a polite term for armed raiding party.
18:15They were openly targeting single women and the elderly.
18:17Casually debating whose doors were easiest to crowbar open.
18:20And right there on the latest roster of the raiding squad was Dorian's name.
18:23To survive, the man who used to preach about corporate ethics and high class morals had entire shed his human
18:27skin.
18:28Someone in the chat bragged about Dorian's initiation.
18:30To prove his worth to the gang, Dorian had betrayed Mrs. Calloway.
18:33She was the sweet old lady living next door to him.
18:34He tipped them off about her two cases of bottled water her son had dropped off before the heat wave
18:38hit.
18:38Reading the chat lags, a cold shiver ran down my spine.
18:40Mrs. Calloway used to bake him cookies.
18:42She treated him like family.
18:43That was Dorian.
18:44In my past life, he traded my life for a cup of lifetime.
18:46Throwing an old lady to the wolves was nothing to him.
18:49He wasn't a man anymore.
18:52He was a demon wearing a tailored suit.
18:59The next morning, the moment my intranet pinged, I saw a new post on Dorian's feed.
19:04He hadn't blocked me.
19:06It was a highly curated photo.
19:08He was gripping a baseball bat smeared with dried dark blood.
19:11At his feet sat two pristine, unopened cases of aquafina water.
19:16His eyes stared into the lens with a rabid glare.
19:18That was the loot he plundered from Mrs. Calloway.
19:21Two cases of water paid for with an innocent life.
19:24Rumor had it that the kind, gentle old woman had fought back.
19:27He felt absolutely no remorse.
19:30Instead, he worked with a murder like a badger arm.
19:32The gang was hailing him as a ruthless operator.
19:34Some even wanted him to lead the squad.
19:36Looking at the sycophantic comments under his post, I laughed coldly.
19:39Dorian thought he was the big shot in this wasteland.
19:41And true, if he was just a short-sighted idiot.
19:44Two cases of water.
19:45How long would that last him and Mila in this oven?
19:47Three days.
19:48Five.
19:48In a world where production was permanently reduced to zero,
19:51taking without contributing is a death sentence.
19:53He's flaunting his violence and supplies so openly,
19:56like lighting a torch in a pitch black forest.
19:58His current madness is just the last gasp before the end.
20:00He's making himself a perfect target.
20:02Those outlaws will smell blood in the water and come for him soon.
20:05Just as I was shutting my laptop to head down to the bunker's gym,
20:07a pinned post on the local survival fornal caught my eye.
20:09The title was plashed in red fight reward.
20:1110 boxes of instant noodles.
20:12In a world where even the rats were starving to death,
20:1410 boxes of instant noodles was enough to hire a private army.
20:16I quickly traced the IP address of the original poster.
20:18I wasn't surprised.
20:18It pinged straight back to Dorian's luxury comp.
20:20Cold murderous rage welled up inside me.
20:22Those two stolen case of water were clearly already empty.
20:23Or his penthouse had finally become completely hit forced on me.
20:25Dorian had finally remembered to use my love and trust to steal my bunker.
20:28In this life, he was smarter.
20:29He was weaponizing the mob and human greed.
20:30Using other people to do his dirty work.
20:32The comments underneath the bounty were feral.
20:33The greed practically bled through the screen.
20:35A storm was coming.
20:35A big one.
20:38I tapped my fingers rhythmically against the desk.
20:42Rhea capped her with Mint Loa's-esque.
20:44You wanna come?
20:46Then come.
20:48If they were so eager to rush into hell,
20:50I'd happily turn this mountain into their mass grave.
20:54My perimeter traps had been starving for action.
20:57And I was more than ready to feed them some fresh meat.
21:05To be more than ready to go.
21:06Yet I will wonder what it is.
21:06I expected you to order new companies and thrive.
