    When her settlement falls to the infected, Vela escapes with nothing but the clothes on her back and the vague memory of another settlement located somewhere beyond. No map. No supplies. No guarantee she can make the journey. The world outside is a minefield, crawling with infected and worse things hiding between the ruins. So when one of the creatures finds her alone, she prepares to be torn apart. But instead of killing her, he becomes fixated on her. He's unlike the other infected roaming the wasteland: stronger, smarter in some ways, disturbingly human in others. He doesn't speak. Doesn't behave like a human would. Yet for reasons she doesn't understand, he becomes attached to her. And as dangerous roads, starving survivors, and endless hordes close in around them, she decides to use his unnatural attachment to survive the journey to find another settlement. But the farther they travel together, the harder it becomes to tell where fear ends and trust begins.

    Author : 周果子的肺 Associated Names : 末世後被前男友救了 Translator: Afei-transmtl Link: https://afeitransmtl.blogspot.com/2025/03/when-i-become-heir-of-evil-god.html Synopsis: Cui Xisheng had chased Meng Jiangtian for three years, sharing the most intimate moments for just as long. He thought they had been in a relationship for three years. But on the day Meng Jiangtian's white moonlight ex-girlfriend returned from abroad, he left without hesitation. That was when Cui Xisheng realized he had only ever been a "regular friend" whom Meng Jiangtian called upon at will. Heartbroken, Cui Xisheng ate three large bowls of food in one go, only to end up vomiting so badly that he was rushed to the hospital. When the doctor congratulated him on being one month pregnant, Cui Xisheng nearly got into a fight with them. After all, he was a man-a pure-blooded man. Yet, as someone who studied traditional Chinese medicine, Cui Xisheng ran multiple self-checks, all of which confirmed the impossible: he was indeed pregnant. There was only one possible father-Meng Jiangtian. But Cui Xisheng chose not to tell him. Who needed whom, anyway? That belief was shattered a month later when the apocalypse suddenly struck. As an ordinary person without awakened abilities, survival became nearly impossible for Cui Xisheng. When he was on the verge of being bitten by a zombie, he instinctively shielded his two-month-old belly. But the expected pain never came. When Cui Xisheng opened his eyes, he found himself staring at Meng Jiangtian's cold, indifferent face once again. At that moment, he wasn't sure whether to feel relieved or devastated.

    Reborn three days before the apocalypse, Chen Han knows exactly what's coming. One year after the launch of the global hit survival game 【Doomsday Dawn】, the game will descend into reality. Zombies will overrun the world, mutant beasts will hunt humanity, and civilization will collapse overnight. In his previous life, Chen Han survived the apocalypse only to be betrayed and murdered by the woman he loved, who coveted the resources he had risked everything to obtain. This time, he won't make the same mistake. Taking advantage of the recharge channel not yet being closed, Chen Han spent his entire fortune to activate the game's hidden class: the SSS-Rank Sword Immortal. Armed with knowledge from the future, he discovers a game-breaking loophole that allows him to store uncontaminated food before the apocalypse begins. While others remain unaware of the coming disaster, Chen Han buys out the entire food market, stockpiles endless supplies, awakens hidden opportunities, and prepares to monopolize the resources of the new world.

    Yeji always thought the world would end in fire, or maybe in a flood. But when it came, the end was quiet-broken only by the groans of the dead. They rose in many forms: the stiffs, the lurkers, and the relentless swarmers that consumed entire streets. Humanity didn't fall in a single night. Piece by piece, it unraveled. And survival became more than just outrunning the dead. It became about trust. About hope. About love. And above all...about the ones who remain.

    Life has been a never ending series of disappointments for Arkady: a failed marriage, an earth-shattering apocalyptic event, the creation of bipedal animals who don't take kindly to humans, and the failures of the people in power to do anything about any of it. So, overall, not much different from the other people in the Latvian Exclusion Zone. He earned the respect of his fellow stalkers and the disrespect of the people who label those in his position as criminals. He spent a third of his life after finding his place in the Zone trying to search for his ex-wife. Though those attempts proved fruitless. ' Until one day, a bounty hunting job leads him to discover something he was never meant to see. Documents proving that she, his ex-wife, the woman he still loves now, might still be alive. His obsession is reignited, and finally his life has a purpose beyond taking jobs to stay alive. But his discovery is not only his own. The people in power, the ones that had failed him so many times before, have decided that his discovery is theirs. Will his unofficial VDV training from Alexei, his lessons from the Zone, and experience in civilian division of the Latvian military be able to keep him alive long enough to discover where she's gone after all these years?

    Five hundred years ago, the world began to die. The sun burned hotter. The oceans vanished. The surface became a Dead Zone no human could survive. Humanity survived by retreating beneath artificial skies, building four great cities where a new civilization could begin. In Saren, the Gunther siblings have grown up surrounded by everything they were taught to believe in-a powerful family, a protected city, and a future already decided for them. Ludwig, Arabelle, and Eleanor have never questioned the world they inherited. Until their father's disappearance leaves behind something he never intended them to find. A forgotten room. A buried secret. A message from an expedition that was never meant to return. And beneath the city they call home, something is beginning to wake. Five hundred years after the Solar Death, paradise may have been hiding a lie.

And every choice comes with a cost someone else will pay. Kaia fights to stay alive in a city that wants her dead. Aerian searches through chaos that changes survivors into something unrecognizable. And somewhere in the middle of all the death and silence, they're still trying to find each other-before the world finishes what it started.

A husband she no longer recognizes. As Ghazal is pulled deeper into a tangle of secrets, she begins to wonder: Is the world she lives in truly safe, or just a cage disguised as order?

    Ten years ago, seven-year-old Mila Voss vanished without a trace. The world moved on. Or so she was meant to believe. Deep beneath the surface, inside a classified government facility, Mila has spent a decade as Subject V-937 - a test subject in a pathogen program pushing human adaptation to its limits. Around her, children disappear. Friends die. Memories fade. Survival becomes routine. To cope, Mila keeps a notebook. A list of names. A record of everyone she refuses to forget. When Adrian Vale arrives as a new recruit assigned to observe the facility, he expects science. Data. Answers. Instead, he finds a girl with a notebook full of names and a decade of questions nobody will answer. As their friendship grows through exchanged notes, weather reports, and impossible dreams, Adrian begins uncovering the truth buried beneath years of lies. The children were never lost. They were taken. And somewhere above ground, their families are still searching. Now, with time running out and the facility closing in, Mila and Adrian must decide whether hope is worth the risk of everything. Because some storms are meant to be survived. And some cages were never meant to last.

    Eighteen-year-old Feenix DeSuza has a secret. Inside his hidden terrarium, he's discovered something that could doom his entire colony: Earth's oxygen will run out by winter. But when Feenix tries to warn them, nobody listens. Instead, his colony turns against him, and he's exiled into a world where every breath could be his last. His only hope is the one person he should never trust-a sworn enemy feared as a cannibal fiend. Gidget. Forced to follow her deep into the dead air in pursuit of a mysterious signal, Feenix expects betrayal, bloodshed, and probably to end up as dinner. What he doesn't expect is to discover that there's far more to Gidget than the monster he's been taught to fear. Together they are humanity's last hope. And its final breath.
