As Caroline stepped outside, she spotted Tyler and Alaric approaching.

It was obvious Tyler had won.

Alaric’s head hung low, and he kept muttering to himself. If Caroline had walked closer, she would’ve heard him repeating, “No way…. this can’t be happening.”

His eyes were even wider than usual as he kept mumbling.

Soon, they reached her.

Before Caroline could say anything, Alaric dropped to his knees.

Without a word, he bowed deeply, even hitting his head against the ground.

That knock was loud and solid. There was absolutely no hesitation.

After straightening up, he said solemnly, “I’m sorry. I didn’t raise my child right, and I wasn’t there for my wife. I failed to keep her in check. I heard what happened that day. It’s on us. I’m here to apologize properly. I lost, and I accept it. I hope we can move past this.”

He stood up and saluted toward Caroline, giving off a sort of honorable vibe.

Honestly, he wasn’t bad at all. He admitted his mistakes and handled things cleanly.

Caroline stepped closer and lightly patted his shoulder. “It’s fine. It’s in the past. From now on, we’re friends.”

What surprised her, though, was that her Zero System didn’t react at all. It meant Alaric carried the orange Transcendent Ability.

Realizing that, Caroline looked at him even more seriously.

At that moment, Alger ran up from a distance, shouting, “Caroline! Tyler! Big news! Colonel Sutton told me to inform you immediately!”

Before she even heard what it was, Caroline felt her heart sink slightly.

She had a feeling it had to do with the Sea Folk.

Sure enough, Alger’s next words confirmed it.

“Professor Valdez’s medicine is now mass–produced and has been issued to the frontlines. It’s working really well! Many coastal cities are now secure. The Sea Folk numbers are low, and in some areas, they’ve been wiped out completely.”

Caroline nodded lightly. It was definitely good news.

“But…” Alger’s tone shifted abruptly.

Both Caroline and Tyler looked up, sensing something important.

“The Sea Folk have changed tactics. Reports say they might be able to control human and animal corpses.”

Caroline felt her mind reel. She’d never heard of Sea Folk before and never encountered them.

It seemed like they were popping up everywhere, leaving her completely confused.

But thinking about it carefully, she realized she might have crossed paths with them in her previous life.

Only that had been many years after the apocalypse began.

In her previous life, the progression of the apocalypse had been much slower–whether it was the damage to Earthenstar and people, or the speed at which they rebuilt their lives.

This time, things were different. Maybe because she, Crow, and others had been reborn, the apocalypse’s timeline had changed entirely.

Then that mysterious man appeared and started meddling in events. Everything in this life was even harder to predict.

Suddenly, she remembered something. Right before she died in her previous life, she’d been searching for shelter and nearly got killed by mutant rats.

Those rats shouldn’t have been a threat to a team of experienced ability users.

But those rats were all corpses that felt no pain and showed no fear.
