(Lirean Province- Capitol City)
(Local Police Station)
"Okay… the time is now twelve o' clock so I have ten minutes left," Qin Lan muttered to herself as she parked her van on the side of the road.
This was a new vehicle that she had purchased the previous day and it was filled to the brim with the supplies that she had bought.
Weapons, bottles of water, canned food and first aid kits had all been carefully packed in the trunk and the backseats.
Qin Lan let out a heavy sigh as she stared at the pedestrians walking through the city without a care in the world.
In just ten minutes… the world would be changed forever.
These days of peace would never return.
Lirean Province was where her little brother's high school was located, and Qin Lan had decided to change her original plan to meet up with him before the apocalypse.
Instead, she texted him to remain at his dorms because she was coming to pick him up tonight for a night out together at a restaurant.
To be honest… he did not sound very enthusiastic, but Qin Lan had insisted that she was coming whether he liked it or not.
Eventually he reluctantly agreed so Qin Lan pushed her worries to the back of her mind and focused on the matter at hand.
Right now, she needed to secure a supply of firearms and the only place where she could find some was the police station.
She did not know what the situation would be like once the end times came but the police station would most likely be a high priority target for the survivors.
Guns were more powerful than abilities at least that's what Qin Lan assumed since most of the original Qin Lan's memories were sealed behind a fuzzy white wall.
This plan was a bit of a risk but hopefully it should pay off.
Qin Lan took in a deep breath and then adjusted her facial expression to that of a concerned citizen.
She opened the van door and walked towards the entrance of the police station. She checked her watch and saw that only five minutes were left.
Qin Lan's footsteps quickened, and she arrived inside the station with about four minutes remaining.
"Officer, you must help me!" Qin Lan desperately cried out as tears slowly dripped down the sides of her face.
She was instantly the center of attention in the station as the officers on duty rushed over to see what the matter was.
"Some bastard stole my wallet and my identification cards… I feel so upset…" Qin Lan complained loudly as she curled up her fingers into a fist.
Three minutes were left….
"Okay ma'am. Can you give me a description of his appearance?" a middle-aged police officer gently asked.
He approached the hysterical woman and did not notice that her eyes briefly drifted to the gun attached to his holster.

(Outskirts Of Heurn Province)
(Hidden Location- Secret Military Base)
"Run! Run! She's coming this way!"
"All units! We need backup immediately! The subject is… arghh!"
"Please… I'm sorry… have mercy…"
Screams of terror echoed through the empty hall as a monster slowly walked forward towards the shivering scientists.
It resembled a beautiful woman with a lean muscular physique and skin that was a healthy wheat colour.
But her eyes… they were pitch black.
Blood dripped from Eve's hands as she leapt forward and tore out the throat of the incoming soldier who was holding a rifle.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Bullets crashed into her body from the opposite side of the hall as a squad of soldiers arrived to take her down.
A twisted smile flashed across Eve's pretty face as her torn off flesh instantly regenerated and expelled the bullets inside her body.
Her figure blurred and then vanished from the spot.
The soldiers did not have any time to react before she appeared in their midst.
Eve grabbed the nearest one and flung him towards a wall with so much force that his skull instantly fractured.
She tore off the arm of the captain who was hurriedly shouting orders into his radio and watched him scream in a pool of his own blood.
The jewel inside her mind kept telling her to go towards a certain location and it was driving her insane.
Eve frowned slightly as she punched a hole through the abdomen of the remaining soldier and stood quietly for a moment.
Corpses lay scattered on the ground around her, and she was covered in the blood of those she had killed.
Why was she doing this?
Eve gripped her head in pain as a surge of unknown memories flowed into her mind but they disappeared as soon as she tried to focus on them.
The jewel continued to urge her to move forward and without any other choice, Eve decided to follow its wishes.
She walked through an endless labyrinth of side passageways and corridors that led to a room in the center of the building.
Despite never being outside of her container, Eve somehow knew the exact path to her destination as if something in her body was calling out to it.
She reached a pair of massive, reinforced steel doors that led to a room where she could smell the scents of dozens of humans.
Ahh… she recognised one of the scents…
The bad man… he was hiding in there… he was the one who caused her so much pain…
Eve's pitch-black eyes stared creepily at the door and her nails gradually extended outwards until they became claws.
She moved on pure instinct as she gripped the door handle and then used her enhanced strength to rip the door open.
The steel crumpled instantly, and Eve found herself at the entrance to a room with dozens of cowering scientists.
Dr. Huang tried to speak calmly but the slight quiver in his voice betrayed his true emotions, "Subject 014! I order… I order… you to stand…"
"Sir… she… this is impossible!" Assistant Wu stammered in shock as he stared at the test subject standing in front of them.
"She was brain dead! The jewel was only supposed to increase her regenerative capabilities!"
Eve rushed forward and grabbed both the doctor and his assistant by their necks. In front of the remaining scientists, she killed them on the spot.
Crack!
Two lifeless bodies crashed to the ground with their necks bent at an impossible ninety-degree angle.
Terrified sobs filled the room, but Eve ignored the trembling scientists and focused her attention on the object in the center of the room.
A large jewel that was around eight feet in length and a width of nine feet was resting on top of a pedestal.
Machines were connected to the jewel and its colour bore a striking resemblance to the one inside Eve's head.
The voices inside her mind got louder and louder and she moved towards the jewel in a trance-like state.
She even ignored the scientists who took the opportunity to run out of the room and escape her wrath.
Eve approached the enormous jewel and raised her right hand. A strange pulsing beam of black light danced at her fingertips.
She tapped the jewel and felt a strange force leave her body.
This mysterious energy rushed into the jewel and it instantly shattered.
A heavy pulsating wave erupted from the broken pieces and spread outwards at a rapid pace from the hidden military base.
People and animals in the path of the wave immediately fell unconscious and even the plants slightly withered.
This wave continued onwards until it reached every part of the globe in a matter of hours.
Eve moved away from the broken jewel and looked around in confusion. The voice inside her mind had now disappeared and she had no idea what to do next.
A face briefly flashed across her mind and a location not too far from where she currently was.
Eve furrowed her brows and decided to seek out the mysterious figure who kept showing up in her memories.
