Chapter 440 Dave Miller

The room fell quiet with just Kobin and Dave left inside.

The silence seemed to wind Dave tighter by the second. “I’m certain we’ve never met before,” he said carefully. “So why are you looking for me?”

Robin didn’t answer that directly. “I heard you haven’t eaten in several days.”

She hadn’t needed to say that out loud.

The moment she did, something hollow and cramping seized Dave’s stomach with vicious urgency, twisting and churning like a creature trying to claw its way free.

A low, mortifying growl rolled out from somewhere deep in his gut, loud enough to fill every corner of the small, quiet room.

He pressed a hand over his stomach and looked absolutely horrified at himself. “Sorry about that…”

“Don’t apologize,” Robin said with an easy smile.

She turned and pulled a self–heating instant stew from the cabinet.

Dave’s eyes went perfectly round at the sight of that vivid packaging.

That… that has to be…

Robin activated it for him. As the rich, savory aroma slowly thickened in the air between them, Dave’s mouth betrayed him completely and started watering on its own.

“Is this… is this actually for me?” he managed.

“Of course.”

He turned it over in his hands, visibly stunned. “Can I ask you something? Why are you giving me food? I genuinely have never seen you before in my life.”

“Whether we’ve met doesn’t matter,” Robin said. “What does matter is this: do you

have an ability?”

The question landed like a stone dropped into still water.

Something behind Dave’s eyes, half–buried beneath the curtain of his long, unkempt hair, went absolutely still. A sharp, dangerous light moved through them in one single fleeting instant.

Then it vanished, buried behind a mask so smooth and practiced it was almost impressive.

Chapter 440 Dave Miller

With someone he doesn’t trust, he gives nothing away. Not even a breath of the truth.

But that’s fine.

Something blurred at the edges of her vision for just a heartbeat. Grief moved through her chest like a cold current, sudden and unbidden. Then it faded, and she remembered where she was. This was a new life. A second chance.

In her previous life, she’d stumbled across this cunning man entirely by accident. He’d played the sympathy angle early and walked away with a solid share of her supplies. But later, when it truly mattered, he’d thrown every last bit of himself into pulling her out of a zombie nest.

And he’d been bitten doing it.

At the very last moment, right on the threshold of turning, she’d been the one to end his suffering. With her own hand. With a single shot.

She’d found him in time this life around.

“Is that right?” Robin said, her expression caught between a smile and something quietly unreadable. “You’re built like a tank. That kind of physique doesn’t come from going hungry.

“They said you hadn’t eaten in days,” she continued. “But somewhere along the way, you’ve been taking care of yourself just fine, haven’t you?”

Dave’s easy, practiced ruefuleness drained away. What replaced it was heavier, sharper, and watchful. “Who are you?”

“That’s not really the important part,” Robin said. “You’re right that we’ve never met. But I’ve seen you in a dream, and in that dream, you died saving me.”

“A dream?” Dave repeated.

His face said everything.

He wasn’t buying a single word of it.

They’d only just met today. There was no reason in any world for him to throw his life away for someone he’d never laid eyes on before.

“A dream,” Robin confirmed, completely unfazed. “I know how it sounds. But think about where we are right now. The apocalypse hit. People developed abilities out of nowhere. At this point, what’s actually too far–fetched to believe?”

That landed somewhere in him, whether he wanted it to or not.

She had a point. Nothing is exactly unbelievable anymore.

Dave’s flat, certain refusal started developing quiet, undeniable cracks.

“We might be meeting for the first time today,” Robin said, “but in that dream, we were partners. We fought side by side. And at the end, you were bitten saving me from a zombie horde…”
