I Have Lost My Humanity I Don't Want Her To See Him Like This
In horror, I turned to see David's arm outstretched as he got accosted by three infected monkeys."David!" BJ's mother screamedI BJ and I turned around swiftly with our spears poked forward.Unfortunately, infected humans were blocking our path to him."Get out of my way!" BJ screamed as he blindly hit an infected with his QUAX in rage.Bang!The infected head made a loud cracking sound as its body spun from the force of the hit, and it slammed heavily into the ground.With the way the human infected blocked our path, I could have sworn they knew we were trying to get back to one of our own and planned to deter us. I had two energy charges left, but if I made use of one in this situation, innocent people would be harmed. The energy charge had a large area of concentration. "Arrrrrgh! Please h-help!""David, use your knife!" I screamed at him."Dustin!" Bella's dad called for me.I turned to sight a gun flying in my direction. I caught it and centred it in the direction of the appr
I Have Lost My Humanity On The Verge Of Death
As the group headed further away, I crouched so the recoil would be easier to deal with."Come on, come on," I muttered.When the infected were only a few feet away, I took a deep breath and activated an energy charge.Thrrruuuuooooooo~What happened some minutes ago, repeated itself as the beam shot through the air toward the approaching horde of infected.Upon contact, an explosion of blue light filled the entire street as many infected got obliterated.Boom!At that moment, the force from the explosion sent me flying and slammed me into the ground heavily, causing me to slide across the street for more than a couple of feet."Timmy!" I faintly heard someone yell my name, but my ears were ringing, so I couldn't ascertain who the voice belonged to. I groaned in pain while trying to rise. My back was hit with a stinging sharp burning sensation due to the friction from sliding across the street grounds.The street was filled with smoke and the smell of burning flesh. Fortunately, the
I Have Lost My Humanity Nowhere Left To Run
However, in the next instant...BANG!A loud gunshot rang out, and the next thing I witnessed was the monkey's head exploding into pieces right on my face.I felt my face burn from the hotness of its black blood as I yelled out in pain."Fuck!" I rushed to rub my face with my sleeves."Don't let it get into your mouth!" Bella yelled."Water! Water!" I screamed.My mother who had a backpack strapped to her shoulders quickly brought out a pet bottled water and handed it to me.I wasted no time in making use of the contents to wash my face and mouth of the blood.After spitting for the umpteenth time I finally stood up while clutching my right arm.The people around us had left us behind and kept running for their dear lives while my group wasn't interested in leaving me behind.The black blood on my face had been cleared but I was left with reddened cheeks, forehead and neck from the burn.As my vision cleared, I viewed the bloody carnage of the monkey's corpse but then I also noticed w
I Have Lost My Humanity Encountering A New Predicament
"Let's go,"With a nod, we ran in the instructed direction, moving past the corpses of infected littered across the street.Some of the soldiers concentrated on getting rid of the horde while others helped get the citizens in the area to safety.The military was really here. Though it was sad that we had already lost two people, I was glad that we were at least safe from the nightmare… or so I thought.I and the others were almost close to the trucks that contained survivors in the neighbourhood who had gone ahead of our party.All of a sudden, I heard something.Drriihh~The loud droning sound in the air made me stop in my tracks and look up at the sky in confusion.What was that noise?At first, I thought they were drones to assist the military, but it was something else.Before I had the time to process it, I realized I was looking at a cloud of unknown black objects clustered together in the northern sky.As they neared, the buzzing got deafening, and everyone around me had to cov
I Have Lost My Humanity Determined To Survive
If we didn't leave the street, we were going to be the next victims.I urged myself to move faster as there was no guarantee that shooting at them would even yield any results since the military was having a hard time as well.The mosquitoes were fast and managed to repeatedly escape the projectiles showered at them. They seemed to be even more deadly weapons than what the military had in their possession as they repeatedly sucked people dry, turning them to dust.I heard the sound of vehicles ahead and spotted more military transport trucks."Everyone, get on the trucks!" a soldier shouted.I counted six of them, but we were still a long way from getting there. My little sister breathed heavily as she ran, but she didn't stop.My legs were aching as a result of running, and the QUAX arm did nothing to help my situation. I could also see that BJ was struggling with his, but there was no time to stop and unequip them.Normal weapons seemed to be having difficulty penetrating the tough
I Have Lost My Humanity We Are Leaving
We ran alongside each other, avoiding the puddles of black liquid on the ground that had been formed from the obliteration of the mosquitoes in the area.We made our way forward swiftly since we could still hear other mutated mosquitoes from the distance. The military seemed to be having a hard time taking care of them.As we got closer to the vehicles, the ground shook beneath our feet as the sound of explosions rocked the air.I realized that the vehicles had now reduced from six to two. The other four were nowhere to be seen."Where's everyone?" I muttered as we got closer to a truck.Sofia, my mum and the rest of Emma's family, were currently standing before a different truck. The one closest to us earlier was already gone.Sofia answered my question with a scream."Big brother!""Oh my God, there's blood everywhere?" My mother said with a look of horror while staring at me and my friend.Meanwhile, BJ's family was checking on his injuries with frightened looks."I'm fine," I answ
I Have Lost My Humanity A Night Of Conflicting Thoughts
-For some time, the drive was silent except for a few snores that came from the survivors within the truck.BJ and the others had slept off as well.As for me, I couldn't sleep. I could still hear the screams in my head and see the vivid images that flickered through my brain.As I lay in place, looking through the window at the night sky, I recalled the past events that led up to that pivotal moment when everything changed.We hadn't realized that the after-effects would be this unbearable. Hell, I even thought the rumours were strengthened by jobless and lazy people who didn't have better things to do.The government hadn't said a thing at the time, so I wasn't inclined to believe the rumours. I thought we were safe, but now it turns out that the truly delusional one was myself. It made me wonder what would have happened if it occurred years ago.As a kid, would I have been able to make it? Would I have been able to protect my loved ones? Would I have been able to survive? I just d
I Have Lost My Humanity Maybe He Wants To Take A Shit
The Ministry of Education was the most respected in the entire world since QUAX technologies were originally created for the purpose of teaching. It became one of the most lucrative fields in the world."Darius," a voice called out."Let him out. Also, follow him so we don't get any more casualties,""Yes sir."There was a loud hiss, which I guessed came from the dark-skinned woman. The low mumbles within the truck were proof that the others didn't like the directive from the person who seemed to be the leading officer. I felt this was normal since everyone was on edge.As the vehicle's movement slowed, I tried again to rise. The pain had lessened, but it still stung.Opposite me was BJ, who didn't look so good. He was awake, but he seemed to be extremely fatigued, and his injuries from the day before kept him weakened.The med kit didn't seem to have done much, but at the very least, it managed to give him a bit of relief. Things could have been way worse.I really wished we got to t

Could You Let Us In?
[Unedited Chapter]As much as the smell of death was everywhere, I didn't want to leave until I looked around. I could still remember the clothes Hannah wore on that day, and that was the reference I used in searching while hoping she wasn't amongst the corpses.A few of the dead still had clothes on, but most were reduced to nothing but bones and scraps of fabric.Cautiously, I looked at them for any signs of life. As I turned to look inside the tilted truck for something or someone that could give me a sign.I suddenly felt something tugging at my right leg. I swiftly reacted by swerving sideways with my gun pointed out."Timmy! Get away!" Emma shouted as he pointed his gun in that direction.I was faster than him as I instantly pulled the trigger, blowing a hole in the infected head.Bang!It had been crawling out the broken windshield of the truck and happened to have broken limbs, which made it easier to kill."Come on man, we've seen enough," Emma said as he came closer."Let's

First Military Truck Sighting
[Unedited Chapter]"Yeah," I admitted softly. "But I'm also worried my decision will gravely affect others, and I might not be able to fix it."He smiled. "No need to worry about that, let's worry about where we are going.""True... now that I think of it, look at the map," I called Emma's attention to the map."Hmm," He stared at his watch in response."I'm guessing the routes that appear red signify that a high number of infected are cooped up there... the ones that appear yellow must have a lower number in comparison to the red, and the normal-looking routes should barely have any," I pointed out."That makes sense. I'd been wondering since, but the officers never explained that. However, this must have been documented by the military, right?" Emma inquired."Definitely, or they're monitoring it with satellites," I responded."The former is most likely true, and since that's the case, we can only count on the information in the meantime, not in a long run," Emma stated."Hmm, are y

As they continued with that, we moved around, alert to any odd noise…which I heard in the next second.At this point, I was about to give Emma signals to tell him that, it might be time for us to move.The others in the perimeters were focused on patrolling around and we would get a window of opportunity soon."What is that?" Someone muttered through the comms. It obviously came from within."What?" One of the volunteers questioned."I can hear a low droning," The initial voice replied. "Can you hear it?"For a few seconds, the comms was a little silent except for the men packing the supplies."I can hear it too!" One of them finally stated.The problem was finding where it was

Arriving At The Supermarket
[Unedited Chapter]"What about the QUAXs?" someone interrupted beside me.His smile and excited tone told made me feel like he had joined for a different reason, "Aren't we going out there with them?"The soldier glared. "Do not ever dare interrupt me! Never try it again!"After a few seconds of silence, he answered. "The battle QUAXs can only be used by professionals who intend to go all the way to battle the infected, which is not our job. It is also in limited numbers, so it can not just be randomly given out.You are a rescue and supply team, and your business doesn't lie with that. Also, the weapons here will be enough. In the right hands, anything can be used to kill!"The battle QUAXs was a good idea, but we were on a simpler task, and we were only going to get more attention to ourselves.I felt, a group with the purpose of gathering supplies and going on emergency rescue missions should be more solo.Although I and Emma would have loved to take our battle QUAX arm with us, it

[Unedited Chapter]I felt this had been easy for him to say since he was a military personnel. I already viewed people who killed others as heartless...The thing is... I am not you, Darius.To make him get off my back, I nodded and moved away.Now, I was trying to convince Emma about it, but my friend was stubborn."Tim, I understand you," He began."It's just the same with my family. Two nights ago, my mother woke up wishing to hold David in her hands. She wanted my father to return to get him, and if I could at that moment, I would have. Maybe Darius is right—""Emma, Hannah is still alive," I countered. "You can't write her off like she's already confirmed dead—"He shook his head. "I didn't mean that. I'm just saying that..." He looked lost for words and then continued after a few seconds..."She might still be alive, safe in a stronghold. I know the horror we faced on our way is still haunting you, but we are safe now and shouldn't do anything to change that. I'm sure she feels

[Unedited Chapter]It was like we were in another world. Still, I wondered if it was why we had been separated.Did they think we couldn't control ourselves?"We can't go... We haven't seen Hannah yet."Sofia immediately reminded me. "Maybe she is in another stronghold? Remember, the soldier said that they were others."I knew that. While we had been waiting for identification, I asked a soldier about the other trucks, and he mentioned that only a few had come in before us.Some people had also made their way here themselves.When I asked about the rest, he only shrugged and said there were other strongholds so the trucks could have gone there.Still, I was holding onto the words of Darius, who said that we were all passing the same route, which led to the big question.How did the trucks not all reach the camp, and if they didn't, what was causing their delay?I had counted six trucks then, which meant that two were in the stronghold, one was gone, and the remaining three were missin

[Unedited Chapter]*****Five days...Five days of having the same nightmare replayed each night. I thought it was all over since we were now safe in the stronghold but it only seemed to get worse.Each night, I woke up with perspiration on my body as though I'd been running a marathon.But it was only a nightmare. One that always began with the mutated infected human appearing and crushing the truck that was behind us.Then the infected would get blasted to pieces after the missile hit...This would have been a befitting end for the dream but then I'd find myself standing in the middle of the road where the other truck had been flattened...calling out a single name..."Hannah!"At this moment I would jolt awake with my whole body drenched in sweat as I breathed in and out profusely.The crushed truck disturbed my mental state to the point where I was having nightmares about it every night.I badly wanted to know who the occupants were.What made it worse was that the soldiers were a
