00:26من مدرا من مجموعة من مجموعة من مجموعة
00:47كل مجموعة من مجموعة
00:52لتنبع مجموعة
00:53But mine is the strangest
00:55The Romance System
00:58Host detected
00:59Reward obtained
01:00Romance System
01:02The other mercenaries burst out laughing
01:08Romance System?
01:09You mean you get to date in the apocalypse?
01:12Date who?
01:13Zombies?
01:14You got the worst one man
01:16Good luck
01:16The system has chosen my first target
01:18A beautiful zombie girl
01:19Named Emily Harper
01:20Target Emily Harper
01:22Status
01:23Zombie
01:24Affinity
01:25Zero
01:35This changed everything
01:37The Romance System didn't care about species
01:38And that cute zombie girl was too pretty to miss
01:40Hand-holding reward
01:42200 pounds fresh meat
01:43First kiss reward
01:44Zombie virus vaccine
01:46Final bond reward
01:47Gene evolution serum
01:48I stares at the panel and smiles
01:50In the end of the world
01:51Meat means life
01:53Vaccine means immunity
01:54Evolution means power
01:55Other mercenaries get only one upgrade
01:58I only need to tame a beautiful zombie
01:59That gets me multiple bonuses
02:01Sure bet
02:03I ignored the mocking crowd
02:05And headed to Emily's spot
02:07The corpse pile
02:10Emily's blood threat from far away
02:15Emily stands on the hill
02:16Mouth wide open
02:18Eating corpses
02:19Kneels on the top of the pile
02:20Hands deep in a corpse's chest
02:22Pulling out a rotten heart
02:24Target locked
02:25Emily Harper
02:26Identity
02:26Advanced Mutated Zombie
02:28Danger level
02:29SSS
02:30I whistle at her
02:32Emily stops eating
02:34Locks eyes on me
02:35And smiles
02:36Hunting her is a great reward
02:38But Emily only wants to bite my throat
02:42Hey beautiful
02:43Want to date me?
02:45Emily opens her huge mouth
02:46And charges at me
02:52As Emily lunges
02:54I roll aside
02:55Barely dodging claws
02:56That could have torn through steel plating
02:58I said I'm here to date
03:00Not fight
03:04I bind her with chains
03:05Then pat her butt hard
03:07I never expected her to freeze
03:09A suspicious plush
03:10Appears on her face
03:14Even zombies can plush?
03:16Back at base
03:16I test the reward
03:18I chain Emily
03:19And hold her hand
03:21System
03:21Task complete
03:23200 cloves
03:24Fresh meat
03:24Ward 7 sending
03:25I pull fresh meat
03:27From the system space
03:28Pat her head
03:29And feed her
03:32Good job Emily
03:33This is a small reward
03:35Tastes way better
03:36Than rotten meat
03:36Right?
03:37I check the panel
03:38Emily's affinity
03:39Rises 5 points
03:41I think about other
03:42Smart zombies
03:42In the apocalypse
03:43Can Emily evolve?
03:45Just a little meat
03:46And her affinity jumps
03:47Much easier
03:48Than normal girls
03:50But after eating
03:51She snarls again
03:52Banks clicking
03:53With that bite
03:54The first kiss reward
03:55Is off the table for now
03:59That night
04:00I understand something important
04:01If I raise Emily's affinity
04:03I can build a future
04:04No survivor can imagine
04:06Four days pass
04:08Emily's appetite grows
04:09From half a pound
04:10To two pounds
04:10On the next feeding
04:11I warn her coldly
04:13I fed you for six days
04:14One more bite
04:15And I toss you out
04:22At first
04:23Emily only knew
04:24How to snap and bite
04:25Every time I reached
04:26Toward her
04:27She tried to bite
04:28Every time she bit
04:29I stopped feeding her
04:30No biting
04:31You eat only
04:33When I say so
04:34I repeated it
04:35Over a dozen times
04:35Finally she froze
04:37Tilted her head
04:38Studying my face
04:39Like she was trying
04:39To figure out
04:40If my hand counted
04:41As food
04:41I nodded
04:42She ate
04:43I shook my head
04:44She stopped
04:45No
04:45That tiny bit of obedience
04:47Nearly made me cheer
04:48To test her
04:49I took off the chains
04:51And set the meat
04:51On the table
04:53Emily stood up
04:54Looked at the plate
04:55Then pointed at it
04:56I nodded
04:57Only then did she eat
04:59For a zombie
05:00That is basically a miracle
05:04Congratulations host
05:05First successful command
05:07Given to Emily
05:08Reward
05:08A house
05:10One month after the outbreak
05:12A brutal deep freeze is coming
05:14I've got barely 20 days to prepare
05:16Food and water first
05:17Clothes and medicine second
05:18But shelter
05:19I had zero leads
05:21It had to be sturdy enough to survive
05:22And warm enough
05:23Through the freeze
05:28System
05:29Is this house pre-built
05:30Or does it just appear
05:31All housing rewards
05:32Are constructed from nothing
05:33Host may choose any location
05:35What if I have special requirements
05:37Titanium alloy
05:37A secret exit
05:38Host must supply blueprints
05:40Communications and medical equipment
05:42Are not included
05:43Host must acquire separately
05:44So now the only problem
05:46Was getting blueprints
05:46For the shelter
05:47Luckily
05:48Safe zone 01
05:49Might have an architecture student
05:51Time for a trip
05:55Before heading to safe zone 01
05:57I needed to scavenge
05:58The apartment building next door
05:59I told Emily to wait outside
06:01While I searched
06:04I opened a door
06:05And found a zombie girl
06:06In skimpy clothes
06:07Pole dancing
06:08She spun around the pole
06:10Hips swaying like a snake
06:11Every rotation
06:12Making her curves bounce
06:14From her clothes
06:15She must have been a stripper
06:16Before she died
06:18She spotted me
06:19And instantly turned seductive
06:20Running her tongue slowly
06:21Across her lips
06:22Like she wanted to swallow me whole
06:24I've seen this trick before
06:26Some high tier zombies
06:27Lure in horny survivors
06:29Then eat them the second
06:30They're close
06:31That is when it hit me
06:32The smarter zombies
06:33Might still have fragments
06:34Of human consciousness
06:35I got an idea
06:39Hey gorgeous
06:39Wanna date me too?
06:41The chains outside
06:42Rattled instantly
06:43Emily clearly wasn't happy
06:45Hearing me flirt
06:46With another zombie
06:47Her blank eyes
06:48Showed real emotion
06:49For the first time
06:50Emotional response detected
06:52In target Emily
06:53Affection plus five
06:56I raised an eyebrow
07:00I walked toward the stripper zombie
07:01Like I was actually interested
07:03Sure enough
07:04The moment I got close
07:05She showed her true colors
07:06Jaws wide
07:07Ready to eat me
07:11But just as she lunged
07:12Emily outside
07:13Couldn't hold back anymore
07:14Emily charged in
07:15Red eyes locked
07:16On the other zombie
07:17The stripper zombie
07:18Emily growled
07:18At the intruder
07:19Emily answered
07:20With an even more
07:21Terrifying roar
07:21The two high tier
07:23Zombies collided
07:23Shaking the whole room
07:25Still chained
07:26Emily couldn't fight
07:26At full strength
07:27Before the other zombie
07:28Could hurt her
07:29I stepped in
07:30And finished her off
07:30With one strike
07:33Then I pulled
07:34The still agitated
07:34Emily into my arms
07:35To calm her down
07:37I smirked
07:37Glancing at her curves
07:38And giving a low whistle
07:40Idiot
07:40I'm just toying with her
07:41Her body's nowhere near
07:42As good as yours
07:44Emily blushed hard
07:47Emily shows clear signs
07:48Of infatuation
07:49Affection plus 10
07:50Current affection 35
07:52I'm being this good to you
07:53You're not going anywhere right
07:55Say yes
07:56And I'll take off the chains
07:57Emily nodded
07:58I unlocked her chains
08:00And took her hand
08:01Leading her outside
08:04A sleek motorcycle
08:06Sat waiting outside
08:06I had Emily climb on behind me
08:09And pulled her arms
08:10Around my waist
08:13The engine roared to life
08:15Drawing every zombie
08:16On the street
08:16They surged toward us
08:18Like a tidal wave
08:19But all they could do
08:20Was watch
08:20As we sped off
08:21Towards safe zone 01
08:23Survivors had gathered
08:24In safe zone 01
08:26Ryan stood at the front
08:27With Trevor and Logan
08:28The second they saw me
08:30Their faces changed
08:31They probably never imagined
08:32The guy with the worthless system
08:34Would actually make it here alive
08:35And with the zombie
08:36By his side
08:37No less
08:39In just a few days
08:40Ryan had clearly built himself
08:42A position of power here
08:43He wore the smug look
08:44Of someone who thought
08:45He made the rules
08:47Well look who got lucky enough
08:49To make it to the safe zone
08:51Everyone entering this zone
08:53Hands over their supplies
08:55Food, medicine, weapons
08:58We manage it all
08:59People started whispering
09:01Some survivors eyed my backpack
09:02Like starving wolves
09:03The crowd nodded along
09:05They'd been hungry too long
09:06Any food would make them desperate
09:08Trevor stepped forward
09:09And reached for my bag
09:11Don't touch my stuff
09:13I slapped his hand away
09:15What's your problem?
09:17Unified management
09:18You just want to strip my gear
09:19So you can win the survival game later
09:21If everyone acted selfish like you
09:23Everyone here would die
09:24Outside
09:25Zombies scratched at the glass
09:27Inside
09:29Dozens of greedy eyes
09:30Stared at my supplies
09:35Ryan thought a crowd would scare me
09:37I looked around at the survivors
09:39Hiding behind him
09:39And laughed
09:43You people can't even defend yourselves
09:45You really think you can stop a mercenary
09:47Who's clawed his way out of a corpse pile?
09:51Emily let out a terrifying growl behind me
09:53That is when everyone noticed the zombie standing there
09:56And the room went dead silent
09:57Ryan's face darkened
09:59He just realized my alliance with the zombie was a real threat to him
10:02A girl stepped forward
10:05That's enough
10:07Let him stay
10:08Kicking him out now is basically killing him
10:11Ryan walked over and jabbed the finger at my chest in warning
10:17Keep that thing on a leash
10:23Chloe gave Emily and me an empty room on a lower floor
10:27Sorry
10:27For everyone's safety
10:28This is all you get
10:32I was fine with that
10:33I only came here for one reason
10:34Someone who could design a shelter
10:37But Ryan was already staring daggers at me
10:42By noon
10:43A dozen survivors were lined up outside the storage room
10:45Waiting for their daily rations
10:47Most got a few crackers
10:48Nothing more
10:51Meanwhile
10:52In my room
10:53I was cooking
10:54And the smell spread through the building like a weapon
10:57A dozen people abandoned the line
10:59And ran straight for my door
11:04Friend
11:05Want to trade some of our food for some of yours?
11:08To people who'd eaten moldy bread
11:10And rotten snacks for days
11:12Hot food was more tempting than gold
11:18I walked out holding a bowl of meat
11:19Every eye in the hallway followed it
11:27Anyone here study architecture?
11:29The hallway went quiet
11:30The architecture students in another building
11:33Probably a zombie by now
11:35My stomach dropped
11:36No blueprints meant the system's housing reward was useless
11:38Just as I was about to give up
11:40A small voice spoke up from the crowd
11:44I'm an architecture student
11:47Everyone turned to look
11:50Ryan's expression changed first
11:54Madison looked like she'd blow away in a strong wind
11:56I almost thought she was lying just to get food
11:58Then she pulled out her laptop
12:00And showed me old design files
12:01Proving she really knew architecture
12:04I'm Madison
12:05Top of my class in architecture
12:08I believe you
12:10But can you draw blueprints?
12:12She looked up at me
12:13Surprised
12:14Truth is
12:15I wasn't just taking her word for it
12:16I was looking at my system panel
12:18Target
12:18Madison Brooks
12:19Status
12:20Architecture
12:21Student Survivor
12:22Affection
12:23Zero
12:23Hand-holding reward
12:24Water Purification and Drainage System
12:27First Kiss reward
12:29Full Surveillance System
12:30Ultimate Bond reward
12:31Four Auto Turrets with Special Ammunition
12:36I looked at the rewards
12:38And immediately changed my tune
12:39Clean water meant survival
12:41Surveillance meant early warning
12:42Turrets meant real defense
12:44This girl wasn't dead weight
12:46She was the key to my entire shelter
12:49Can you design a special kind of shelter?
12:51Madison didn't understand why I was asking
12:53But hunger made her brave
12:54I can try
13:02At the back of the crowd
13:03Ryan glared at me
13:04And quietly slipped away
13:06With Trevor
13:07And Logan
13:10Ryan
13:11Ethan's getting too cocky
13:12What if we just take him out
13:14And grab his supplies?
13:17Ryan thought it over
13:18Then shook his head
13:20No
13:22You saw that zombie behind him
13:23We don't know what she's capable of
13:25Acting rash could cost us everything
13:28Clearly Ryan wanted me gone
13:29But wasn't dumb enough to attack directly
13:31So he decided to wait
13:35Meanwhile Madison stepped into my room
13:36And got straight to work
13:39Tell me what you need
13:40About a hundred square feet
13:41Reinforced structure
13:42Storage
13:43A rest area
13:45An escape route
13:46A shower
13:47Madison frowned
13:48That's too small for a real shelter
13:51You'll need room for crops
13:53Livestock
13:54Water storage
13:55And future expansion
13:57I looked at her with new respect
13:58Good call
14:00Leave room to expand
14:04For the first time since the outbreak
14:05The future actually had a shape
14:09Madison opened her laptop
14:10And started drawing
14:14How long will it take?
14:15A few days
14:16Longer if we need changes
14:17I thought about the coming freeze
14:19And my expression turned serious
14:21About a week after the outbreak
14:23A brutal cold front is coming
14:24Anyone still living in a drafty building
14:26Will freeze to death
14:27I couldn't wait
14:30Blueprints in seven days
14:31Can you do it?
14:37Seven days
14:41Madison hesitated
14:42Then nodded
14:47I took Emily up to the roof
14:48To scout a build site
14:49Behind the building
14:50I found an open lot
14:52Shielded by the main building
14:53Backed against a hill
14:54Perfect
15:02Not many zombies around either
15:03I grabbed a baseball bat
15:05To clear them out
15:06Climbing out a first floor window
15:08I spotted four zombies nearby
15:12I tried to take one out quietly
15:13But awoke the other three
15:14The one in front was massive
15:16Built like a tank
15:17Wearing what used to be football gear
15:19Probably a player before he died
15:21Unlike the slow ones
15:22The zombie was fast
15:24He closed the distance in a blink
15:26I dodged
15:27Swung the bat
15:28Football players hit hard
15:29Even the zombies
15:30He barely flinched
15:31I swung again
15:32The third one lunged
15:34I swept its legs
15:35I swept its legs and finished it
15:35With two more hits
15:40The last one tackled me
15:41Before I could stand
15:42Clamping its jaws on my bat
15:43Chewing hard
15:45Damn it
15:46I cursed and tried to shake it off
15:47No luck
15:48Just as I braced for another try
15:50Sharp claw grabbed the zombie by the neck
15:52And flung it away
15:53I turned
15:55Stunned
15:55The hand belonged to Emily
16:00I stared at her in shock
16:02Her grey skin was slowly regaining colour
16:06You actually evolved
16:10Emily has shown protective behaviour towards the host
16:13Favorability has increased to 50
16:15For a zombie
16:16She was surprisingly easy to please
16:18No gifts
16:19No makeup
16:20No lies needed
16:21Feed her
16:22And she'll protect me
16:23Emily's face stayed blank
16:25Like nothing had even happened
16:26But she only acted when I was in real danger
16:28If I wanted her to follow commands
16:31Her affection needed to climb higher
16:35After a short rest
16:36I went back to clearing zombies
16:39Emily only stepped in when my life was on the line
16:41Otherwise
16:42She just watched
16:45Looks like commanding her still required more affection points
16:50By the time I finished
16:52It was already dark
16:53I headed back to the room
16:54In the men's bathroom
16:55I started washing off the blood
16:56And noticed Emily had followed me in
16:58That was a first
16:59It felt strange
17:01But I reminded myself
17:02She was still just a zombie
17:12I turned on the shower
17:13Water running over me
17:15Completely unaware
17:16Emily was staring at my body
17:17Quietly blushing and swallowing hard
17:20I wrapped a towel around my waist
17:22I helped clean her up
17:23She stared straight at me
17:24I knew she probably had no concept of gender
17:27But my face still went red anyway
17:30I gritted my teeth
17:31And quickly undid her clothes
17:33Her body made me swallow hard
17:34Just looking was enough
17:35To get a reaction under the towel
17:37Embarrassed
17:38I covered myself
17:39Emily noticed something was off
17:41I silently reminded myself
17:42She is a zombie
17:44That helped
17:45A little
17:45I scrubbed the blood off her quickly
17:47Then looked up and met her eyes
17:49But she just kept staring into my eyes
17:51There
17:52You should feel better now
17:54Something was different
17:55There seemed to be real emotion in them
17:57Maybe I was imagining it
17:58I leaned in closer to check
18:00The next second
18:01She leaned in fast
18:02I never saw it coming
18:03No time to dodge
18:04But instead of teeth
18:05Something soft and faintly sweet
18:07Pressed against my lips
18:09I stood there stunned
18:10Until the system's
18:11Chime snapped me back
18:13Congratulations host
18:15On your first kiss
18:16Reward
18:17Zombie virus vaccine
18:18Full immunity to infection
18:19Emily's affection
18:2160%
18:22I checked the panel again
18:23I couldn't believe it
18:24Her affection had jumped to 60
18:26From just a shower
18:27Straight into
18:28Like territory
18:31So you feel something now?
18:33Emily tilted her head
18:34Cute
18:35And confused
18:38Complex words were still too hard for her
18:40But when she heard like
18:41She nodded
18:42Emily could follow simple commands now
18:44But complicated tasks
18:45Still left her stuck
18:46She wasn't fully human again
18:48Not yet
18:49Anyway
18:50But as her affection kept rising
18:52Maybe her human emotions
18:53Would come back too
18:54And maybe then she'd understand
18:55More complex orders
18:57Back in the room
18:58Madison kept drawing
18:59I thought we'd get a quiet night
19:01But Ryan wasn't done yet
19:02That evening
19:03He talked Trevor and Logan
19:04Into sneaking up to my window
19:06He wanted to test
19:07Emily's real strength
19:08He might be tough
19:09But it's just the two of them
19:12You sure this won't go wrong?
19:15Didn't Ryan say
19:16She's not that dangerous?
19:18Why else would a rookie like Ethan
19:20Be keeping a zombie around?
19:24Who knows
19:25Maybe Ethan's keeping her around
19:26For other reasons
19:28Damn
19:29That's a wild taste
19:31Trevor gave a filthy laugh
19:33The door was locked
19:34But the window latch
19:35Wasn't enough to stop them
19:38Trevor climbed in first
19:39Logan swung one leg
19:41Over the sill
19:41Then he saw a figure
19:43Standing in the dark room
19:44Emily lifted her head
19:45Both of them froze for a second
19:47Then a red eye snapped fully open
19:53Trevor!
19:53Someone's here!
19:54By the time Trevor realized
19:56Something was wrong
19:56It was too late
19:57A cold feeling hit his chest
19:59A thin arm had already punched
20:00Cleaned through it
20:01Emily moved like a shadow
20:02Trevor dropped before he'd even scream
20:06Logan tried to mark
20:07Forgot the same treatment
20:08A hand through the chest
20:13Emily looked down at the blood on her hand
20:14And a sudden hunger surged through her
20:16Urging her to lick it clean
20:17I stepped in front of her
20:19And gave a clear order
20:21No
20:23Emily froze
20:24A few seconds later
20:25She slowly lowered her hand
20:27That moment said
20:28More than any system panel ever could
20:30She could control herself now
20:33Before dawn
20:34I tossed the bodies out the window
20:37Madison walked in with her laptop
20:39Saw nothing
20:40And wisely asked nothing
20:44Not long after
20:45Ryan showed up at the door
20:46Feeling things out
20:48Where's Trevor?
20:49What did you do to him?
20:52I looked at him calmly
20:55Who's Trevor?
20:56Ryan clenched his fists
20:58Don't play dumb
20:59He disappeared right after you showed up
21:01You killed him!
21:04Ryan wanted to accuse me
21:05But he had no proof
21:06His shouting drew a crowd
21:09Chloe showed up too
21:11What's going on?
21:15Trevor and Logan are missing
21:18Maybe they went out for supplies?
21:20Ryan knew exactly what happened
21:22He was the one who sent them to test Emily
21:24And it got them killed
21:25I leaned against the doorframe
21:26And smiled
21:28People go missing
21:30Go look for them
21:31Don't yell at me
21:32Knowing he couldn't touch me
21:33Ryan walked off
21:34Face dark
21:35On his way past the supply room
21:37The guard told him supplies were nearly gone
21:40Ryan
21:40The warehouse is running dry
21:42Then send people out to find more
21:45You want me to go beg Ethan, that idiot?
21:48Understood
21:48I'll arrange it right away
21:50Ryan snapped at him
21:51The guard turned to leave
21:53But Ryan stopped him
21:54Wait
21:55I'll give you a new list
21:56Send out whoever's on it
21:58He ordered a new scavenging list
21:59Not the strongest survivors
22:01But everyone who refused to obey him
22:03His plan
22:04If they died out there
22:05He'd save food
22:06And get rid of troublemakers
22:07At the same time
22:07He smiled to himself
22:08Keep this up
22:09And in a few days
22:10Only the people loyal to me
22:11Will be left
22:12Ethan's nothing
22:15Two days passed
22:16The number of survivors
22:17Had dropped again
22:19When I first arrived
22:20There were about 50 people
22:21Now maybe 30
22:22Panic was starting to spread
22:24In the room
22:25Madison kept drawing
22:26Emily stayed close by my side
22:29Then a woman's scream
22:30Came from the medical wing
22:32Some survivors rushed to the windows
22:34No one went to help
22:36I watched the zombies
22:38Get drawn toward the sound
22:40The woman screamed again
22:43Help me
22:44Madison looked toward the medical wing
22:46And said quietly
22:47That sounds like Dr. Claire Whitman
22:49The campus doctor
22:51Food keeps people alive for days
22:53Medicine keeps them alive for months
22:56I looked at Madison
22:59You think she's useful?
23:01Madison nodded
23:04I grabbed my weapon
23:05And turned to Emily
23:06Let's go
23:07We're saving a doctor
23:12The medical wing was worse than I expected
23:14Zombies wandered every floor
23:16Drawn by Claire's earlier screams
23:20I slipped through the open area
23:22Grabbed two walkie-talkies
23:24A fire axe
23:25And a rescue rope
23:26From an emergency cabinet
23:28Then ran upstairs
23:33A zombie nearly grabbed me in the hallway
23:35Emily took care of it
23:38I kicked open the door
23:40To the third floor bathroom
23:42Claire lay inside
23:43Hale half conscious
23:49Already dead?
23:50Shame
23:51Claire's eyes snapped open
23:53I'm alive
23:54Please save me
23:55I tossed a baseball bat at her feet
23:57Can you move?
23:59Grab it if you want to live
24:01Claire gritted her teeth
24:02And forced herself up
24:06I charged ahead with the fire axe
24:07Emily covering our backs
24:09Within minutes
24:10The staircase was piled
24:11With zombie corpses
24:15Claire watched us work together
24:17Stunned
24:19A human and a zombie?
24:21What kind of team is this?
24:24I grabbed her ankle
24:26A zombie with half its face torn off
24:28She froze
24:29Shaking all over
24:31I could have killed it for her
24:32Instead
24:33I just stood there and watched
24:34What are you waiting for?
24:36Hit it
24:39Tears welled up in Claire's eyes
24:42Her hands trembled around the bat
24:43If you can't swing it
24:44That got to her
24:45Next time I won't be here to save you
24:47She raised the bat over her head
24:49Closed her eyes
24:50And swung down hard
24:51I watched it all coldly
24:52I'd left that one zombie alive on purpose
24:55The fastest, cruelest way to force Claire to grow up
24:59Good
25:00Remember that feeling
25:03That small approval hit her harder than I expected
25:05In a world where everyone had abandoned her
25:07Being told she mattered
25:08Meant everything
25:11We fought our way back to the safe zone
25:14By the window
25:15Madison sighed with relief seeing us return
25:19But before she could speak
25:20A gorgeous woman pushed forward
25:23Smiling like she'd been waiting for me all along
25:27Hi, I'm Savannah
25:29Savannah beat Madison to greet us first
25:32She helped Claire inside
25:33And didn't even flinch at Emily's zombie form
25:35Like we were already old allies
25:38I saw right through her
25:39But said nothing
25:43Soon
25:44Four women stood in my room
25:46Emily
25:46Madison
25:47Claire
25:47Savannah
25:51Madison had a real job
25:52Claire was the doctor
25:53Emily was my strongest weapon
25:54Savannah harder to read
26:02I lifted the lid off the pot
26:04The smell of meat and vegetables filled the room
26:06Everyone swallowed hard without meaning to
26:12I served myself and Emily first
26:14Then Madison Claire
26:15Starving as she was
26:16Still thanked me before eating
26:18Target
26:19Dr. Claire Wittner
26:20Status
26:21Campus doctor
26:22Affection
26:2350
26:23Hand-holding reward
26:25Medical kit and handbook
26:27I smiled
26:27Saving her had definitely been the right call
26:35I hired Claire on the spot
26:36One bowl of meat and vegetables a day
26:39In exchange
26:40You handle medical work
26:42Claire agreed without hesitation
26:44Then I checked Savannah's panel
26:47Target
26:47Savannah Cole
26:48Status
26:49Socialit
26:50Affection
26:5110
26:51Hand-holding reward
26:53A vehicle
26:54First kiss reward
26:55A 100 square foot house
26:57Ultimate bond reward
26:58A 1,000 square foot house
27:02Savannah noticed the change in my eyes
27:04And flipped her hair
27:06Can I work for you too?
27:08Madison
27:09Standing nearby
27:11Sure
27:12Same pay as the other two
27:13Got chills of disgust
27:15But figured Savannah's little act wouldn't work
27:17Since I only kept people who were useful
27:19My next move is leaving safe zone 0-1
27:22Anyone who wants out
27:24Come with me
27:26The sudden announcement
27:28Shocked everyone in the room
27:32I hadn't told them about the system
27:33Built Shelter on purpose
27:34But Savannah was smart enough to know
27:36There was no future sticking with Ryan
27:38That decision drew a crowd
27:40I'm coming with you
27:44Some mocked us
27:45Others looked jealous
27:49Where are these people even going?
27:51They're not seriously going out there, are they?
27:53Good riddance
27:54Never liked them anyway
27:55Ryan suddenly stepped out of the crowd
27:56Blocking my path
27:57Where do you think you're going?
28:00Leaving
28:02Fine
28:03You can go
28:05But Dr. Claire stays
28:07We need a doctor
28:08Claire lowered her head under the pressure
28:11She decides for herself
28:13Then looked at the man who pulled her out
28:16I'm going with him
28:18Me too
28:19I didn't bother arguing with Ryan anymore
28:21Ryan, furious, tried to stop us
28:24But Emily bared her claws at him
28:26He clearly understood what she was capable of
28:28And backed off
28:29Seething
28:32I left with Emily
28:34Madison
28:34Claire
28:35And Savannah
28:36For Savannah
28:37This was her first time outside since the outbreak
28:39She kept glancing around nervously
28:41The road was clear though
28:43Just a few scattered zombie corpses
28:44When we reached the hidden clearing
28:46I cleared out earlier
28:47I stopped
28:48Savannah panicked immediately
28:49Why are we stopping?
28:51There's nothing out here!
28:53Madison looked at the ground
28:54Then at me
28:55And suddenly understood
28:57I pulled up the system panel
28:59Blueprint detected
29:01Build according to blueprint?
29:04Yes
29:06The air in front of us began to ripple
29:08Steel beams
29:09Walls
29:09Pipes
29:10Reinforced panels materialized out of nothing
29:12Everyone stood there
29:13Jaws dropped
29:14Madison recognized it first
29:16The structure matched her blueprint exactly
29:18Ethan
29:20Don't ask too many questions
29:22All you need to know
29:23Is that I can keep you alive
29:28Savannah clung to my arm
29:29Practically ready to throw herself at me on the spot
29:32I walked straight to the shelter's titanium door
29:34Fitted with an electronic fingerprint lock
29:36I registered my own fingerprint
29:38Then added Emily's too
29:39As for Madison and Claire
29:41That could wait until their affection hit 60
29:43Savannah with all her scheming and hidden agendas
29:46Wouldn't get in without at least 80
29:48And I let everyone inside
29:49The shelter wasn't huge
29:51But it was solid
29:52Titanium door
29:53Living room
29:53Three bedrooms
29:54A bathroom
29:55Storage
29:56A diesel generator
29:57Refrigeration
30:00For people who'd been sleeping in the safe zone
30:02This looked like heaven
30:04Madison ran her hand along the wall
30:05Amazed
30:10It's exactly like the blueprint
30:12Savannah rushed into the bathroom and gasped
30:18There's hot water
30:22Claire opened the storage room
30:23And stared at the cooling unit
30:24Like she'd rediscovered a hospital
30:27A storage room this big
30:28With refrigeration
30:30I enjoyed watching their reactions
30:32But knew this was only the beginning
30:34Keep raising affection
30:35And the shelter could expand
30:37Upgrade
30:37Defend itself
30:38Emily stood beside me
30:40Quiet as always
30:41Eyes drifting around the room
30:43Then Savannah spoke up
30:44We should split up the bedrooms
30:47Ethan gets his own room
30:49I'll room with Madison
30:51Dr. Claire can room with Emily
30:53Why do I have to room with you?
30:55Madison immediately objected
30:58We hadn't even settled in before Madison
31:01And Savannah started arguing
31:02Sleep
31:05I raised my voice before the argument escalated further
31:07Enough
31:08Go with Savannah's plan
31:12Madison looked betrayed
31:13Savannah looked smug
31:17Emily grabbed my sleeve
31:18And pulled me toward the last room
31:20I wanted to object
31:21But her expression was oddly impossible
31:23To resist
31:27I'd been tense for days
31:28A real bed sounded like paradise
31:30I lay down
31:32Emily curled up right beside me instantly
31:34Quiet as a small animal
31:35Listening to my heartbeat
31:37For the first time since the outbreak
31:38I slept deeply
31:42Back at the safe zone
31:43A survivor spotted the shelter from a window
31:45And ran to tell Ryan
31:52Ryan stared out at it
31:53Not believing his eyes
31:54Where did that building come from?
31:59I woke up in the evening
32:00For one second
32:01I forgot the apocalypse even existed
32:03Then
32:04Half asleep
32:04I felt the hand slide into my pants
32:06I snapped awake instantly
32:08I opened my eyes to find Emily touching me
32:10What are you doing?
32:11An unmistakably needy look on her face
32:13Do zombies even have sex drives?
32:15Don't play innocent
32:16I know you understand me
32:18She stared at me for a moment
32:20I
32:21Want
32:22Heat surged through me
32:23I flipped her over and pinned her to the mattress
32:28The full monitoring system wasn't installed yet
32:30But the shelter's basic cameras were already picking up movement near the school
32:34We spotted Ryan's men watching us from a distance on the monitor
32:37Meanwhile outside
32:40The temperature was dropping fast
32:42Claire frowned at the screen
32:43Watching white flecks drift down from the sky
32:48What is that?
32:50I knew exactly what it was
32:52Snow
32:53The cold front
32:54Had arrived early
32:55Snow fell over safe zone
32:57O1
32:58For us in the shelter
32:59It was just a warning sign
33:00For the survivors in safe zone
33:02O1
33:02It was a death sentence
33:03Waiting to happen
33:04Based on what I knew
33:06The cold would only get worse
33:09By day three
33:10Stepping outside would freeze someone solid
33:12I couldn't afford to wait
33:16What does the black market carry?
33:20Food
33:20Medicine
33:21Winter clothes
33:23Tools
33:24Batteries
33:25Fuel
33:26Daily supplies
33:29The black market is essentially a source of supply
33:31I made my decision instantly
33:38We need to make a run
33:40Not right now
33:41Now we go after lunch
33:42The next day
33:43I called Savannah and Claire into the living room
33:46Get ready
33:47You're coming with me and Emily
33:50Savannah's face fell instantly
33:52Do I really have to go?
33:54My shelter doesn't feed freeloaders
34:00Savannah swallowed her complaints
34:01And started bundling up
34:06Outside the shelter
34:07The wind cut like a blade
34:11Maybe we should go back
34:14You'll warm up once we're in the truck
34:17Even layered up
34:18Savannah and Claire were shaking so hard
34:20Their voices trembled
34:21I pointed toward the side of the shelter
34:23A heavy duty truck sat there
34:26Truck?
34:30A hulking steel beast
34:31Tires taller than a person's waist
34:33Savannah's jaw nearly hit the floor
34:35Where did that come from?
34:39I gave her a mysterious smile
34:41From you
34:42Her hand-holding reward had given me a vehicle
34:45And I'd picked the safest option
34:46A heavy duty truck
34:48Built for wrecked roads
34:49Heavy loads
34:50And plowing through zombies
34:51If the system ever upgraded
34:53It might even become a war machine
34:55Emily climbed in first
34:56Claire followed
34:57Still in shock
35:02I started the engine
35:03The black market raid is about to begin
35:06And this is where Ryan and I
35:08The leaders of two opposing survivor factions
35:10Will start our battle
35:12For the apocalypse's most valuable resources
35:14In the end
35:15The winner
35:16Takes everything
35:17To be with him
35:17Things
35:17Things
35:18Like
35:18Things
