WalkerZ - A Zombie Apocalypse Story by TheOrangutan

As a scout for what remains of the government in a post-outbreak world, Merryn is sent to investigate an old naval supply depot in a nearby city but finds so much more than zombies. ***** A year after a virus leaves the world infested with shambling zombies, those who remain attempt to rebuild a shattered country. Supported by her friends and colleagues, Merryn forges a path through the post virus landscape, finding other survivors, and searching for anything that could help everyone survive. The best and worst of humanity still live, but things take a turn as nature plays another card: a young woman could be the key to everyone's survival as one variant after another changes the behaviour of the walkers, once again threatening the scattered remnants of humanity as they teeter on the brink of extinction.

The Last Colony by StoryTellerByFire

The outbreak at Pax was lethal. Within hours the entire western seaboard was overtaken. Within a week; the world. With no cure and no hope. All that there was left to do was simply survive. Then a small glimmer of hope inspires Mark and Sean. They overhear a frequency about a place where any remaining humans should go. Getting there is dangerous, but staying put is no longer an option. These zombies are too smart and too aggressive. They have no choice. They must find 'The Last Colony'. Cover Art by: 'HiImSoul'

Playlist for the Apocalypse by Lauryn_Low

It was not noticed exactly when people began to fall victim to the broken life of routine and monotony but by the time humanity realized that witnessing strong emotion triggered violence in the infected, it was too late... In a world, where showing emotion is a dangerous weakness, love becomes the only beacon of hope. Evelyn Li is not a fan of risk. Confined to the safety of an underground bunker for the past two years, when Evie stumbles upon a radio broadcast hosted by a mysterious boy with a sharp tongue and an impressive record collection, she's inspired to embark on a mission fuelled by the belief that her family might still be out there (and definitely not because she's desperate to finally meet the boy whose voice has been her sole companion since the darkness descended). Jonathan Johnson is not an optimist and definitely not a romantic. He wasn't at all surprised when the world ended or even when the Soulless took over the streets. With the weight of rising tensions in the colonies, an absentee father, and heart-breaking tragedy resting on his shoulders, Jonathan would much rather escape into his record collection and secret radio broadcast than deal with the general bleakness of life in the apocalypse. As he is reluctantly roped into Evie's search for links to her past, Jonathan begins to wonder if he can ever truly escape his. Together, the unlikely pair must navigate the treacherous landscapes of both the unforgiving world around them and the complicated emotions within. Will their connection withstand the trials of a world consumed by darkness, or will it become just another casualty of the apocalypse? - Wattpad @ScienceFiction "Ambassadors' Picks," July 2024 - Wattpad @ScienceFiction "18 SciFi Romance Stories We're Obsessed With," November 2024 - #4 Dystopian - #1 Cure

Infected. They plagued the city, the people and nowhere was safe. How do you live in a world where every breath could be your last, one bite could take you or your friends and family. It took mine.

Katie is thrown into a new world alone, apart from her family. Either run or die, that was the only thing she could do until she meets Carter. A dark, hidden boy who she is deemed to survive with. #1 infected #13 Apocalypse #3 Zombies #1 Zombieapocalypse #6 Zombie #1 Zombieoutbreak

Outbreak: The First Surge by Renee_Reads_

The second strain of a deadly virus, Neuro Type 2, ravages the globe, outrunning every medical breakthrough. In the small, rural town of Rosedale, Virginia, life clings on like a flickering candle, but the virus's relentless presence is undeniable. Every day feels like a countdown. Andrea McNeil, a mother of six, races against time as a nurse on the frontlines, facing the chaos of the pandemic while searching desperately for her missing daughter. With her ex-husband's shadow looming and his hand in the virus's spread growing ever clearer, Andrea must protect what remains of her family. She holds tight to her five remaining children and her moral compass, hoping it will guide them through as the world falls apart. Megan Mullen, a childhood friend of the McNeil family and girlfriend to Ezrah McNeil, battles her own ticking clock as her mother's illness worsens. Each moment feels fragile, fleeting. Ezrah, trying to support her, struggles to keep their love alive, but fate tears them further apart-flinging Megan into despair and Ezrah into the flames. As the minutes tick by, and they grow spiritually, physically, and emotionally distant, their love faces a race against time. Can they hold on to each other in a world where time itself seems to be running out? Or will they fall victim to madness or the disease in the wake of preserving everything they hold dear?

Gaslight Trials | The Wattys2023 Shortlister ✔️ by EvelynHail

| 𝟳𝘅 𝗙𝗘𝗔𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘𝗗 ·|| HUNGER GAMES x CINDER || ONC 2023 Honorable Mention Amidst the escalating unrest between the windborne utopian city of Lighthaven and its seedy, oppressed underbelly Fumedge, the Grand Duke of Lighthaven, Lucius Sextus, comes up with an ingenious solution. To provide much-wanted respite from the brewing conflict, and achieve the apparent-if-temporary unity, he organizes Gaslight Trials - a highly entertaining panem-et-circenses combat event in the Pits. The combatants may use all steam and thaumaturgy powered augmentations at their disposal, and there is only one rule: defeat, or be defeated. The reward for the last one standing? A chance to start their life anew. A brass key to the city of Lighthaven with a luxurious mansion to call their own within, as well as an aeroship to command. When eighteen-year-old Veda Igglesden steps forward to take her timeworn adoptive father's place in the fight, she might as well be signing her death-sentence. With her eyes fully set on the prize, act-first-think-later Veda must harness the power of technology to try and win for her Papa Otto. Decades of breathing in the toxic air of Fumedge did a number on the old inventor's lungs, and being able to live in the air-filtered Lighthaven would sure come in handy right about now. A high-flying adventure full of gadgetry and intrigue; a pleasing blend of steampunk and postapocalyptic. See Veda unravel the mysterious ploy behind the game's organization, and uncover the truth about her secret origins. Can she cope both with the trials of physical and intellectual prowess, as well as with the trials of life itself: those of love, loss and regret? © 2023 EvelynHail Exclusively on Wattpad Based on prompt 49! Which is (I shan't leave ye hanging :P): "Master the rules of the game until you can play it better than they can." Michael Scott, "The Sorceress" Get ready for steampunkish tinkering,
