About an hour later, the day was beginning to shine brighter. A bit of the yellow sun can be seen from the horizon. It made the whole world in the desert look yellowish. Even the sands of the desert is looking yellow now.Its another day to begin another journey of no hope. Alex managed to push his hand against the warm sand to stand up before it gets super hot once again. He tapped on his travel companion and said to him “get up soldier. Its time to keep the hope alive. Lets go soldier your family needs you at the base”Alex got up but his travel companion is still on the ground with his eyes closed and his skin looking like that of a decaying corpse.“get up buddy. We need to go before the sun gets hot again” Alex said to the soldier but there is still no response.As difficult as it is even for Alex, he bent down on his knees and began to tap on the shoulders of the soldier while also calling his name. now that Alex is tapping him, the soldier finally spoke some words out of his br
The most important thing for Alex now is getting the phone so that he could confirm if his sister and wife are fine but he has no soldiers and no one to help. Nadia or Jamie can’t do that and joe is not suppose to be sent lone or even sent at all because he Is the only capable head around Alex.“josh does not want to help us and you cant go because of your condition. The only option is me and joe. We can do it” Nadia said when everyone is not saying anything.“if the two of you go there will be nobody here with me and jamie” Alex said on the bed.“getting the phone is not only going to help save Edith and Elise, it is also going to help us know the situation in the united human base. We have to do all we can to get it” Joe, the military general said.“I agree with you. I guess you and Nadia can go then” Alex said.In the early hours of the morning the next day, Joe and Nadia were set to go. Alex could not see them off beyond the entrance of the medical facility, jamie pushed him to t
At the far end, Joe was no longer seeing the road. He thought his eyes were deceiving him. He shook his head to clear his vision but nothing changed.As the bike approaches the end of the road, it is now clear to Joe that the road has ended and there is only a farm land at the end. A field full of grasses long enough to hide the whole of the bike.Nadia continued to shoot at the level three zombies. But her aim was not good enough to make a short that will put the zombies at a stop.The faster the bike goes, the closer the level three zombies come.As much as Joe wants to slow down, he also doesn’t want to be caught by the zombies. He drove into the farm land not knowing what is in it or how it will feel like for him.As soon as the bike hit the first ridge, Nadia jump behind the bike so high that she was twice the height of Joe who was busy trying to concentrate on the road.At this point in time, Nadia could no longer shoot back at the zombies. The only thing she could do is hold Jo
My name is Alex Bart, I am twenty-three years old and my life has not exactly been a walk in the park. I come from a painfully bad background, an abusive father, addicted to drugs and gambling.When I was fifteen, he came home drunk and covered with bruises, having been beaten up badly by the loan shark for money he had borrowed to do drugs. He started beating my mother out of frustration and ended up killing her; he was arrested and was sent to trial, leading to his execution, which left me and my dear sister orphaned. With no money, no family connection and a lot of debt to pay the local Mafia.My life has always been agony.I am not particularly smart, good looking, or talented. I am what you will call a fated loser, but there is one very thing I excel at and that is survival.Whatever it takes, whatever I have to do or go through, I will do it without hesitation just to see my sister happy, to shield her from the evil of this world, and there is one thing I have learned so far in
“So I have indeed regressed back in time! I still don’t understand what this thing is, but only I can see it and it looks almost like a game window trying to give me missions. Well, it doesn’t matter because there is something more important for me to confirm and that is my sister’s life. I will believe this regression is true once I can talk to my sister!” Alex said to himself.“What are you? An idiot or what?” A voice said.Alex immediately turned around to see who was talking to him, but he could only see his reflection in the large mirror in the bathroom.The voice sounded like that of a girl, and it is not that of anyone he has heard before.“I am talking to you, idiot. I am only going to say this once, so you better listen carefully. I am the will of Nemesis, the goddess of divine retribution, and you have been selected as the vessel to carry the revenge Hero’s system based on all the conditions you have fulfilled.”The voice said and Alex ran to the stalls and opened them one a
Alex and Edith walked pass the security guards of the bank lying on the floor passed out, the vital point strike that Alex has landed in them earlier somehow took effect again and made them faint right after they have recovered and were about to chase after him.People have gathered around them and an ambulance was already approaching the compound as he and Edith just walked out of the bank’s compound. Alex started heading straight to his sister’s school to pick her up. As they arrived, Edith refused to enter the school premise because that is her school.“Do not worry, it will not matter that people see you like this soon enough. Everybody will be too busy trying to survive!” Alex said, and dragged her in with him. As soon as the gate security saw him, they rushed to stop him.“This is an all-girls school young man. Who are you here to see?” the security asked and Alex just looked at them and said.“I am here to pick up my sister, Elise.”The security looked sat him well and saw how
It was already evening so Alex did not stop anywhere until he has reached the most expensive hotel in the city, he drove the truck into the hotel parking lot and asked the two of them to stay in the car before he prepares their accommodation.He booked a VIP room with very good security doors on the floor just above the parking lot and tipped the receptionist big. As soon as he was done, we rushed back to the floor below and helped Elise and Edith to pack all the supplies that they have bought.They settled in the room which has two beds on it. As soon as they have taken their showers eaten, they gathered around a table where he brought out all the guns and bullets he has bought. He taught both of them how to arrange bullets in the extra magazines and the three of them sat down and started loading and arranging all the bullets in them.After a few minutes of that, Elise stopped and looked at him directly in the eye.“Brother, isn’t it about time you tell me exactly what is going on as
“What is that red thing you just put on the bed brother? It looks like an oversized ruby, but it feels…….. How do I say this, electrifying?” Elise asked Alex who at the moment has walked to the bathroom washing the blood of the zombies he had killed off of his body and his clothes.Out of curiosity she and Edith climbed the bed and started observing the rune crystal up-close.“It looks like there is some sort of electricity inside of it! Although it is faint I can still feel it.” Elise said and Edith nodded in agreement.“I cannot feel anything, but I can see it, little fizzling sparks of energy coming from the crystal.” She said.Elise reached her hand to touch the crystal but Alex has already come out of the bathroom and grabbed her hand just before she touched it.“I forgot to mention you should not touch this just yet, it has very highly condensed rune energy.” He said.Both the girls were looking at him dumbfounded by what he just said.“Just what is it brother?” Elise asked agai
