Summary

In a world teetering on the edge of annihilation, survival isn’t just a fight—it’s a gamble, and everyone’s running out of time. Ahbey knows this better than most. The infected don’t simply consume; they stalk, reveling in terror before the kill. Each day feels like a countdown, each step a wager against death. Alone in a ravaged land where hope is a whisper and betrayal lurks in every shadow, she clings to the fragments of her past—and the faintest chance of a future. When she crosses paths with a group of survivors, alliances form in desperation. But trust is scarce, and danger is everywhere. The infected aren’t the only threat; humans are just as deadly. As whispers of a sanctuary grow louder, the group faces a harrowing journey where every choice demands sacrifice. With every bullet precious and betrayal a heartbeat away, Ahbey learns survival isn’t about strength but resolve. In the chaos, one truth becomes clear: when it all comes down to the last shot, the cost of living might be everything she has left.
