Zoe, or 80Z according to the tattoo on her hip, has spent her whole life inside the walls of the compound. The Commander says she and her people are there for their protection. There is nothing but danger and death beyond the walls of the compound. Zoe begins to question everything around her after tragedy strikes her 'cluster' as they are referred to. The Commander reveals to her cluster that they are not the only group at the compound, stating that they have reached an age that will allow for them to mingle with other clusters inside the town in the center of the compound. She and her friends begin to realize the facility is much larger than they had ever thought. After a while she begins to notice individuals from other clusters disappearing, but nobody says a word about it. Before long an entire cluster vanishes. What will Zoe do when she realizes her cluster is soon to meet that same fate?

"As far back as I can remember, I've been surrounded by water. The salt in the air even now makes it hard to breath, forcing me to squint. Sand clings to every inch of me, caking my pants and shoes. The wind from the ocean picks my hair up, sending it blowing back towards the multi-colored houses lining the shore line. *** 'Quinn, don't panic,' Lexi says through gritted teeth. She holds fistfuls of my shirt now, and I hear the rubber soles of her shoes squeaking. 'Too late,' I whine, grabbing the barbed wire in a last desperate effort to regain some balance. The razor sharp blades cut into my palms, making me jump again. Lexi sucks in air and loses her grip on me. I hold my breath and close my eyes, feeling the wind cradle me from all sides as I fall at about twenty-four miles per hour, considering the height of the wall and my weight. Now, I wish I was surrounded by water." South of Compound 4, another compound exists. Within the wall of Compound 5, children are trained and tested for perfection through the Intelligence Exam, a test that every student takes during their sixteenth year. Pass, and you stay within the compound. Fail, and you are sent to another compound. It's common knowledge that they are building a perfect population to remain when the rest of the world falls to the Virus. Yet, what happens when Quinn faces the threat of Compound 5, a short blonde girl whose name he can't pronounce, and begins to question everything he's ever been taught, pushing the limits of the system and his own comfort zone? When a student receives the compound's first ever perfect IE score, a storm makes its way in from the ocean. Can Q unravel the secrets held within the walls, or will he lead his family and friends to a war they can't win against a woman who seems to be triumphing against all odds? Selected is the sequel to Immune, found on my profile. Record Ranking: #25 in Science Fiction

(Chapters are in English) Her scale like skin glimmered in the sun like vibrant, red diamonds as she stepped down onto earth. Her eyes were a beautiful golden glaze that only seemed to shine brighter when hit with the sun's glow. Her body was toned with muscles, as if she were born with them. Her hair was a deep black, neatly decorated into long, patterned braids that stopped just at her lower back. And scars adorned her front and back torso. 💫 Things were not meant to be like this. She had just reached her coming of age, she was supposed to be celebrating with her ງ๏ภคร, and yet here she was on her family's ship sailing off into space away from what used to be her home planet. What used to be a beautiful, scarlet planet filled with wonderful clouds, beautiful forests, gorgeous mountains, and vast-less oceans, it was now filled with black smoke as bits and pieces of the planet itself drifted off into space. *Any and all pictures and/or videos used in this story do NOT belong to me
