Reborn in the Apocalypse, This Time I Abandon the Trash Novel

A few more days passed , and strangers showed up on the mountain path . " Mom , Dad , a pickup truck came barreling up the mountain , with a handful of zombies hot on its heels , " I said . " It's coming straight toward the factory . " Today had started like any other . We finished dinner , my parents cleaned up , and I kept scanning the area below with binoculars . I'd barely lifted the binoculars when I spotted a truck careening into the village below , skidded along in the grip of a panicked driver . A few zombies chased after it , but the truck was fast .

The zombies quickly lost it and started wandering aimlessly . The truck , meanwhile , reached the small square at the base of the mountain . " Don't panic , " my dad said , patting my shoulder . " They might not be coming up here . Even if they try , it's fine . Our walls are over thirty feet high . They can't get in . They could ram it with a vehicle and it wouldn't even dent . It's thick enough . " He'd barely finished speaking when the group drove through the village and onto the mountain road leading up to us . The concrete paving only covered part of the path .

They hadn't even reached mid - slope yet , but if they were trying to drive up , then they were heading for the factory . The worst - case scenario was happening . The closer they got , the clearer the security feed became . It was the foreman from the construction crew . He was bringing a whole truckload of people straight to us . The foreman spotted the factory entrance immediately . They couldn't open the security door , but I could hear him yelling furiously at the camera , his voice echoing off the metal surface . " Open the damn door . I know you're hiding in there ! " " Get out here .

I knew something was up . Nobody builds something this big for no reason . Good thing I kept an eye on you . ' " If you don't come out , don't blame me if I get heavy - handed . I know exactly how deep that underground shelter is . Want us to force our way in ? " Chapter Ichort OPEN One of his guys leaned toward him . " Boss , don't smash it up . If we wreck it , where do we hide ? " " You stupid or what ? I'm threatening them . Use your head . " They came in aggressive , and I could tell we weren't dodging this . I turned on the intercom and tried to stall .

" Even if you get in , it won't help . We don't have enough supplies for you to live off . " " Quit running your mouth , " the man snapped , " I know how much stuff we hauled in for you . You want me to say it out loud ? " There were three or four of them at the front . If we let them inside , my family probably wouldn't make it out alive . Then I shifted the camera angle . And I saw a familiar face in the crowd . Carlos . Lucia Morh Lucia Morh is a passionate storyteller who brings emotions to life through her words.
