Apocalypse: Chasing Dawn

Sunny immediately knelt on the ground as soon as the sharp knife cut her mother's throat, blood from the wound on her neck spewed out, splashing everywhere on the young girl's face. Her eyes widened with despair and excruciating pain, and the vocal cords in her throat stiffened, twisting together so that she could not utter a cry of grief that pierced the sky.

He let go of his arm, letting go of the cold body in his lap, letting her mother fall to the ground emotionally. Sunny did her best, using her knees to trudge across the hard rock to reach her mother.

The dull pain transmitted when the soft flesh was scratched by the friction caused the blood to leak out little by little, this physical pain could not be compared with the extreme pain that was frantically exploding in Sunny's heart.

I don't know when Sunny's face was covered with tears, her trembling hands reached out to touch her mother. The small hand tried to hold the wound tightly so that the blood would not flow out, white rays of light flashed through the girl's hand, closing the mouth of the wound.

But even if she managed to stop bleeding, what she did was useless. Her mother had died early, her eyes could not be closed as she stared up at the gray ceiling.

"Mommy!" Sunny choked to call her mother, the pitiful cry made the hearts of the listeners confused.

On the other hand, mommy could not answer her, her mother could not open her arms to hug Sunny to comfort her.

Sunny's tears fell on her mother's face, Sunny held her mother's upper body and hugged her mother tightly. She pressed her face to her mother's forehead, constantly sobbing.

She kept calling mommy, but no one answered

Negative emotions piled on top of each other, resentment, resentment, pain. Those things blend to form an intense emotion that is difficult to pronounce exactly.

He knelt on one knee in front of her and Sunny's chin by the tip of her mother's blood-sized knife. An evil smile spread across his lips, every word he said rang in the girl's ears very clearly.

"From now on, you don't have to worry anymore, you can love me wholeheartedly."

Yes, now Sunny has nothing left.

Her father died on the battlefield with her brother, and her mother's cold body was in Sunny's lap. No one in the Walton family survived, she was the only one left.

They all died in his hands! The one who had gone crazy to the extreme destroyed the world and then hunted her with a terrifying obsession.

Sunny looked at him with the eyes of a hater, even if it meant risking her life, she still wanted to drag him down to hell. But the difference between the two's abilities was enormous, before she could kill him, she was already controlled by him.

The only thing he wants now, maybe, is Sunny!

Thinking that made Sunny smile faintly, she looked at the blade close to her face and then without hesitation pushed her head forward in his surprise. The knife quickly pierced deep into her veins, causing pain beyond Sunny's tolerance.

The girl's consciousness gradually sank into the endless night, his voice still ringing in her ears: "No, no, no..."

"Use your healing power, hurry!" He ordered her in desperation.

But Sunny did not intend to listen to him, her heavy eyelids slowly are closed. The girl's head fell to take her last breath, still holding her mother's body in her lap.

"No!" The screams that came from the man were horrible.

Now, when he had everything in his hand, at the same time he also lost her. Sunny would rather die with her family than refuse to be with him for a moment.

She is the one who possesses the strongest healing ability in Amory, but she deliberately did not treat the wound on her body. Committed suicide with his sharp knife, causing an obsession for the rest of the bad guy's life.

He removed Sunny's hand from her mother's body, coldly separating the two from each other. Carefully holding Sunny's lifeless body in his cold arms, his eyes filled with madness.

"Do you think you'll get away with me? No, no matter where you live, you won't be able to escape."

What he said was the truth and also the only attachment in his heart.

After Sunny died, the soul did not reunite with her loved ones according to her wishes of the girl. She was left stranded in the world and tied to the man who killed her entire family.

Despite her best efforts to free herself from this bondage, Sunny still could not find a way. She had to helplessly follow him, witnessing with his own eyes the hysteria that had reached its climax.

The fact that Sunny is no longer alive in the world does not stop him from hoping to find a way to partially satisfy his desire to possess Sunny.

The poor girl he targeted was Amanda, Sunny's cousin. Amanda looks a lot like Sunny, and she also had the same healing power as her. Their mother were twin sisters, so, understandably, they look alike.

The relationship between Sunny and her cousin is very good, extremely close to each other. So when she heard that Sunny was dead, Amanda immediately investigated who was behind this and took revenge.

On their first encounter, he saw Sunny's figure through Amanda's face. Even his outspoken personality had a few traits reminiscent of the girl he had become attached to.

So the wicked man quickly locked the target, chasing Amanda to capture the girl. In the end, he still trampled on justice, when his hands were covered with innocent blood and no one could defeat him.

When he held the lives of Amanda and the others, Sunny's soul was once again extremely desperate. Seeing her sister being strangled to death by him and slaughtering all the defenders of Amanda, Sunny burst into tears.

What about him?

A delighted smile bloomed on his lips like a bright sunflower welcoming the sun. At the moment Amanda died, he saw Sunny's soul collapse beside her sister.

"Sunny, why are you crying?" His hand reached out into the empty air as if to touch her. But Sunny was always afraid to dodge, letting his hand drop freely.

Suddenly Sunny became aware of something scary. He could see her. Sunny was so panicked that she forgot to cry, her eyes wide with fear.

Turns out he always sees her from beginning to end!

He kept the evil smile on his lips, his eyes fixed on the nothingness in front of him

"I told you, you can't escape me!"

Those words echoed deep in Sunny's mind, making her extremely scared, the girl closed her eyes and stretched her arms to cover her head. She didn't want to see him for another second, the time she had spent in capacity with him was more than enough.

Just when he was about to move towards Sunny, an invisible force pulled her behind, away from his evil hand. He widened his eyes filled with anger as he watched Sunny's soul fade away before he could even touch her, once again the pain in his heart rolled over like a raging wave.

"Sunny!"

His roar of anger made Sunny's heart tremble, and it was the last thing she heard amid this hazy reality.

Although it was very scary because she was suddenly pulled away by a mysterious force, Sunny also secretly thanked it. Even if the soul disappears, she still accepts it, rather than being next to that perverted man.

Sunny's eyes were covered with a thick black mist, unable to see or hear anything else. That power continued to drag her soul through a chaotic space tunnel with no end in sight.

This speed is completely comparable to the speed of the light.

Yet she did not feel any pressure on her already withered soul. In a few seconds of being pulled back, the images of the past were reproduced in Sunny's head.

Her family is still intact, no one is left in that beautiful memory.

Unbelievably complete happiness.

Tears of pain fell softly and her last wish was said like that: "Please let me see them again."

Reuniting with the family that loved her wholeheartedly but unfortunately left before she had time to hold on. And the creator heard Sunny's earnest prayer and made that wish come true.

The space tunnel came to an end, roughly throwing Sunny into a blinding pure light. Give her a chance to start it all over again, so Sunny can do what she's been asking for.

Sunny bewilderedly looked at herself in the mirror opposite, it had been a long time since the end of the world, and she had no longer seen her neat and beautiful figure. She couldn't believe it, raised her hand to touch her face, the emotion transmitted was so real that she couldn't believe it.

"Great!" Sunny groaned, his hand rubbing his cheek, which was red because of the pinch.

This is not an illusion. This is completely true.

Sunny glanced around the room once, everything was so familiar that it made the girl's heart tighten. This is the apartment she bought when she came to S city to work, located in the city center and an hour's drive from where she works.

On the other hand, Sunny does not mind the long-distance, just because she fell in love with the magnificent city view from the balcony every night, so she decided to spend money to buy this apartment.

Could she have gone back in time? If not, for this reason, Sunny could not think of any other reason why she appeared here.

She looks like she is about twenty years old, her beautiful face has just finished makeup, and her red lips are extremely attractive. The clothes on the body are also very eye-catching, but perhaps Sun is planning to go out.

Just seeing the dress reminded her of the time when she wore it. Sunny's eyes became confusing, searching for her phone everywhere.

According to Sunny's memory, the day she wore the dress for the first time was on New Year's Eve 2020. The same night the zombie army escaped from the 2nd research institute and swept through S city, trapping her at a party held at a five-star hotel.

At the moment of death and death, she was helped by a weird man. The person she thought was her benefactor until he revealed his true identity, Diggory.

Remembering Diggory made Sunny shiver with fear.

After struggling for a while in a panic, the girl found her phone inside a handbag in the outermost corner of the dressing table. Her trembling finger slid across the touch screen, which when the screen lit up confirmed her guess was correct.

"9:30 pm - December 31st, 2019."

Today is exactly the fateful New Year's Eve! She went back in time to the time before she met Diggory.

Half happy, half worried, Sunny almost dropped the phone in his hand. The girl hurriedly reassured herself that she was extremely agitated, quickly thinking of her next plan.

There were still two and a half hours from here until midnight, enough time for her to get out of S city. Now she had to move quickly to the airport before the entire city's transportation system became paralyzed.

Thinking like that, Sunny also immediately acted, she dialed the number to call the operator to book the nearest flight back to King's Landing. After the zombie epidemic spread throughout Amory, man-made bases also began to appear.

King's Landing is the capital of Amory and also the first place to wipe out the zombies from the city, building the most powerful base Amory pandemic. If she wanted her life to be guaranteed, she had to reach King's Landing.

There is another reason why Sunny wants to find that place, King's Landing is the place where Sunny was born and raised. Her whole family is there, but because of her stubborn and arrogant youth, Sunny separated from his family and went to S city to live.

After confirming the ticket booking, Sunny rummaged through the closet for a comfortable outfit and then changed into a fancy dress. Assuming the small backpack was placed in the corner of the closet, emptied the bag upside down, causing all of the contents inside to fall to the ground.

She didn't care about the mess at her feet but opened the drawer at the head of the bed to take out all of her identity documents and put them in the open backpack. Without these documents to prove her identity, the airport staff would not let her step on the plane.

As he passed the kitchen, Sunny, conveniently pulled out two long knives from the shelf, wrapped them in a newspaper, and carefully placed them at the bottom of his backpack. When she came here, she suddenly felt unwell. On the plane, she couldn't bring a weapon.

Sunny sat down on the kitchen floor, intense activity in a short period made her heart beat fast. Each beat was as fast as the sound of a galloping horse's hooves, making it difficult for Sunny to breathe.

She slowly took a deep breath, trying to bring her breathing back to balance. If she continued like this, she wouldn't have to wait until she met Diggory or the undead, she would have had a heart attack and died.

When everything was fine, Sunny once again carefully thought through his escape plan from S city.

There are currently two fastest and safest ways to get out of here, one is to board a plane and the other is to take a speedboat. Sunny quickly changed his plan and changed direction to take the speedboat.

The travel time of the two means of transport is similar, but taking the bullet train will not be checked for luggage. The phone was pulled out again, the train schedule was just fine, there was one at ten forty-five.

From where she lived, it was more convenient to move to the station than to the airport on the outskirts of the city. From wasting time in traffic jams or delays, Sunny only takes about fifteen minutes to get to the station.

"This is the benefit of downtown!" Sunny sighed.

Never before did she feel that the decision to buy an apartment in the heart of the city is as wise as now.

She opened the refrigerator and put all the food that could be preserved for a long time into the bag and then turned to look at the clock, all this she completed in less than twenty minutes.

Before she could touch the door, the phone in her backpack suddenly rang, stopping her.

She quickly put her hand in her backpack and took out her phone, the name displayed on the screen made Sunny's heart clear.

"Brother."

The caller was Silas, the girl's brother.

A few months before New Year's Eve, her parents called to urge her to return to King's Landing. Not because they miss their daughter, but because they want her to see the eyes of the object they have chosen.

The Walton family in King's Landing was originally an illustrious family of many generations until her father held an essential position in the army that made people respect him. Since childhood, Sunny has witnessed the harsh education his parents give to his brother, Silas always has to follow the arrangements of the elders.

But Sunny was born with a liberal soul that loves freedom. For twenty years of her life, she has always been spoiled by her parents and brother. They don't ask her to become an excellent person, they just want her to grow up healthy and happy.

But forcing her to get married at that time led to the first heated argument between Sunny and her parents, making the girl so angry that she didn't want to return home. That's why on New Year's Eve 2020, she was in S city and accepted her friend's invitation to join her friend's New Year's party.

At that time, it seems that her father and brother called her many times, but Sunny did not answer the phone. Perhaps they knew about the zombie escape from the research institute and wanted to call her and tell her to hurry home.

Her brother also died looking for her, not only did her brother die but his brother's beautiful and gentle fiancee also died. The two of them loved each other deeply, seeing Silas's determination to find Sunny, the girl also demanded to follow.

Then they held hands and left the world.

Sunny quickly pressed the connection button, and a familiar voice hurriedly came from the other end of the line, making her cry.

"Sunny, where are you?" Silas was very happy when the call was successfully connected, he was afraid that his sister would not pick up the phone.

Sunny stopped choking, opened the door, and answered him: "I'm here! I'm at home..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Silas interrupted: "Now don't go anywhere, someone will come to pick you up in fifteen minutes. The car has several plates TM - 09.96. The situation is very dangerous now, I'm not able to explain much, when you come back I will tell you okay?"

Silas was very busy, after receiving a report from the No. 2 research institutes, the army immediately deployed troops. He was also suddenly summoned half an hour ago, realizing that the situation was more serious than expected, the best solution right now was to destroy the undead that was leaving the research institute and entering the city as soon as possible.

The first person he thought of when he mentioned S city was Sunny, his younger sister. Before he could worry, his father called the office, his father contacted Sunny but his sister did not answer the phone.

Until now, he had always been close to Sunny, so his father entrusted her matter to Silas. He became the wisest choice to advise his sister to leave S City.

The last words he heard from his father were: "Silas, you must bring your sister back safely."

The sigh mixed with many confidants made his father look old.

"I know, I'll do as you say." Sunny was touching.

The first person to worry about her was always her family in King's Landing, she had checked her phone for a few missed calls from her father. That year, because of his stubborn character, Sunny did not answer the phone, causing him to miss the opportunity.

She was about to call her father again but did not expect her brother to call first, hearing his excited tone on the phone was enough to know how relieved he was when she answered the phone.

"Very well, I'll wait for you at King's Landing, hurry up and get ready. Well, Dad's busy, don't disturb him at the moment, just call me if there's anything." Silas gave the last advice before disconnecting the phone.

Sunny said yes for an hour and also pressed the button to call the elevator up.

While waiting for the car that her brother mentioned, Sunny took the time to call all her acquaintances in S city. But God made it difficult for Sunny, the majority of them did not answer or transfer the call to the mailbox.

"Sunny, have you had too much to drink? It's not even midnight yet you're already so drunk, how can you wait for the new year's translation?" The person on the other side had to speak very loudly to drown out the music in the disco.

Sunny was disappointed by her friend's mocking tone, she tried to convince him: "Baron, I'm telling the truth, you should leave S city soon."

It seems that someone came to invite the guy to drink, making him unable to continue the conversation, he quickly hung up the phone and did not forget to say to Sunny: "Eventually, text me your address, finish drinking this glass. I'm here to pick you up. I'm about to get so drunk that I can't even wake up! Remember, quickly send the location here."

The headline sounded to signal that the call was disconnected due to Sunny's helplessness, she quietly let go of the phone and sighed. No one believed her warning, all thought she was drunk or joking.

Sunny texted a few simple sentences and then sent it to Baron, then she clutched the phone in her hand and consoled herself for trying her best.

Just when she raised her head, a black Hummer came to the door of a high-class residential area, just a glance at the license plate made Sunny stand up by inertia. This was the car she was waiting for, Sunny quickly grabbed the backpack on his shoulder and ran towards it.

Just when she was about to touch the car, the car door suddenly opened, and a tall man stepped out, his toned body stood out under the tight moss green T-shirt, camouflage pants combined with a pair of shoes. Dark boots sexualized a military aura in him.

The man shook his head slightly and stared at the phone in his hand, at the same time the gears for incoming calls also sounded from Sunny's phone. Their eyes met for a few seconds, and they both realized that they had found the right person.

He took long strides towards her, and at the same time removed the dark glasses that covered half of his face to reveal his true face. For some reason, Sunny feels a bit familiar, seems to have met him somewhere but in a short time can't remember.

Eyes as bright as sharp stars looking at the young girl, as soon as he saw Sunny, he immediately recognized her. Compared to ten years ago, the girl he used to know hasn't changed much, but her childhood angelic beauty is shining brighter and brighter.

"You're Sunny, right? I'm Vincent Gogh, asked by Silas to pick you up." Vincent stretched out his hand towards the little girl, he was expecting her reaction when he said his name.

From those eyes filled with mixed emotions, there was no sign that Sunny recognized him. Suppressing his disappointment, Vincent continued: "Let's get in the car first, I'll explain to you on the way."

Sunny nodded in agreement, she put her hand in Vincent's hand, letting him help her step into the Hummer car with a slightly high chassis. Without him, Sunny would probably have a hard time watching.

It's not that Sunny didn't recognize Vincent, but he appeared in her memory, not as a friend he used to play with when he was a child. As soon as the three words Vincent said, the first thing that came to mind was his death.

When the zombie epidemic broke out, two orders were brought down from the commander in chief. One is to prevent the zombies from entering S city, the other is to rescue Professor Tadhg who is stuck at the 2nd research institute.

Neither of the above two orders was fulfilled, the undead still flooded the city of S, frantically hunting humans. As for Professor Tadhg and the rescue team, they died at the 2nd research institute, the person leading the team to carry out the rescue mission this time was Vincent.

Ordinary security forces are not trained to deal with weird creatures that escape the research institute. So in the first encounter between humans and the undead, humans were defeated.

There is one more reason why the S city event became out of control because at exactly midnight tonight, all major cities in the world were attacked by zombies, causing the army to be sent to quickly retreated to protect the capital, indirectly turning S City into a land of the undead. Sunny doesn't understand why the zombie pandemic can spread so quickly on the same night, isn't the 2nd research institute the first place to test this zombie virus?

"Do you want to go to the 2nd research institute?" Sunny pulled herself out of her complicated thoughts and suddenly asked Vincent a question.

It seems that from now on she has not paid attention to what he is trying to explain.

Vincent was interrupted without anger and calmly said: "Silas probably told you briefly, but this is the task. It's top secret. What I need to do now is get on the plane and quickly get to King's Landing. Everyone there is very worried about me."

When Silas learned that Vincent's team happened to be in S city and received a mission to rescue Professor Tadhg, he was overjoyed and immediately contacted his best friend. As soon as Silas asked for help, Vincent agreed without hesitation.

Anyway, bringing Sunny to the airport safely and well on his way to the research institute, even if it was a hitchhike for her, wouldn't affect their plans. But only Vincent knows, he still has a little bit of heart this time, just because he wants to see her again.

Sunny bit his lip and did not answer, Professor Tadhg was the teacher who guided her right from her first year of university, it is not natural that she was accepted into the No. 2 research institutes so easily, all thanks to the Professor Tadhg's reputation. Before hearing the news of his death, Sunny cried for a long time because of the passing of his respected teacher.

She later learned that her teacher was the only one who had successfully researched the method of inhibiting the zombie virus that later scientists took up to fifteen years to invent. When he mastered the formula to control the zombies, it was also the time when Diggory betrayed humanity, killing all the scientists involved in that research and destroying all their efforts.

Today, Sunny still cannot understand why Diggory did this. From a righteous man hailed as a hero by everyone, he became a demon overnight and slaughtered everyone who disobeyed him.

Except for one person, herself.

The mission that Vincent is performing is a suicide mission. They could not save Professor Tadhg from the sea of zombies, nor could they preserve their own lives.

The convoy quickly crossed the busy roads and entered the airport, perhaps because of the forwarning, the security checkpoints were already open for the convoy to pass. When the car stopped at the foot of a plane about to take off, Vincent quickly opened the car door for Sunny.

They got off the bus at the same time, but the direction was opposite. On a separate runway on the opposite side, there was a helicopter that had long been ready.

The entire team Vincent quickly gathered and rushed to the helicopter, all finished, just waiting for the departure signal.

The person who should have been walking up the stairs leading to the plane under the instructions of the staff suddenly stopped. Sunny made great determination, turned, and ran towards Vincent, who was about to board the helicopter.

"Miss Walton, we don't have time anymore." Airport staff shouted but could not make the Sunny stop.

At the same time, Vincent sensed that someone was running toward him, so he turned around, just cleverly picking up the fallen Sunny. He hugged her in amazement, the soft feeling of feathers brushing across his palm making his heart itch.

"Take me with you, without me, people can't enter Mr. Tadhg's top-secret room." Sunny looked up at him.

She also didn't understand what she was doing, but there was a thought that kept nagging the girl every second of every minute. We must save professor Tadhg, we must help Vincent's team survive.

Isn't that what she was brought here for?

To see everyone again, to prevent any unfortunate deaths from happening.
