Rise of zombies Chapter 37
After some time, Daniel asked, with a look of complete ignominy on his face, "You mean to tell us that you’re keeping us alive only so that you can put us in pens with other humans?"As slaves? As what?“Slaves?”The creature's eyebrows raised in surprise as it echoed.No way, God.Why on earth would we require your assistance?Once more, silence as this most recent revelation was taken in.What do you mean, we won't have to do anything but eat, screw, and be slaughtered for lunch?"Ah, yes.Except for the slaughter, of course.He paused and waved his hand in the air as he searched for the right word, "...fresh." "We like our meat..." he said.Despite Daniel's wide eyes, he did not appear to be afraid or even disgusted; rather, he appeared simply irate.He made a sudden lurch forward and strained and pulled at his bindings, but they refused to move even an inch, and all he got out of it was exhaustion.He was worn out and slumped back against the chair, his rage still visible on his features.
Rise of zombies Chapter 1
Ryan Lambert could feel his stomach churning as he watched the news unfold on the television screen.He convinced himself that he could feel it from his head to the tips of his toes, and it was an extremely unpleasant sensation.His StoLucash couldn't be the only thing churning.His entire body must have been shaking.Even though it appeared as though he was still, he was actually in a very rapid, very dangerous tailspin that threatened to spill his insides across the laboratory floor. It was as though the world was spinning in perfect time with his body.Normally, Daniel Shue, Ryan's boss and tall, bald, and irritable forty-something, would have been dissatisfied that there was any outside electronic in the room.He would have yelled at Ryan, "This is a research laboratory," "not a movie theater," or some other non-comparable comparison, in a weak, straining voice that sounded like it had been idle for too long.He would not, however, be enraged on this day.He was not going to be bothered a

That concludes it, Ryan thought, "He is a raving madman."Ryan straightened up and returned to the television table with a resigned sigh.Additionally, there was a pitiful first aid kit on the table that contained a thermometer, a packet of ibuprofen, a free trial tube of topical antibiotic, a cold pack, an elastic wrap, and some small adhesive bandages that were not suitable for more than the tiniest of cuts and scrapes.If Ryan had been merely an observer of the absurd situation rather than a participant, it might have been almost laughable.Even though this was a medical research lab with some of the most cutting-edge medical and scientific equipment in the known universe, all he had to use to try to help Daniel was this pathetic first aid kit.Ryan turned to look out the lab room's observation window after grabbing the thermometer.An emergency light flickered in a hallway leading to the next room, briefly illuminating what appeared to be an empty room.He might be able to access one of

He stopped abruptly, and as he looked out the window, his excitement dropped sharply.He was curious about the weather outside.In Texas, it was still late August, just before school started, so it was undoubtedly extremely hot.But was there any rain?Cloudy?Windy?If he still had access to the internet, he would look it up online.He knew in the back of his mind that he could just open the blinds and look out the window for a few seconds to get the basic idea, but doing so would let all that awful natural light into the apartment.The thought made him tremble.He could tell that it was daylight and probably not more than a little cloudy because there was already enough sunlight coming through.He decided that would suffice until he reached the outside.He could return to his vehicle after a short walk to his car, even in bad weather.He could always go back inside and wait for a while longer if that wasn't enough.He should be able to access the internet!He paused as a result of the entire cir

Jake straightened up, released his foot, and out of breath, he fell against a wall nearby.He had long since forgotten about the jar when it fell from his hand.He held back the urge to vomit as he stood motionless in his living room and stared at the remains of his neighbor.Despite how absurd everything seemed at the time, he couldn't stop worrying about what the police would think as his mind spun.How was he going to convey this to them, his neighbors, and his loved ones?Yes, she had clearly been agitated, and now that he had taken the time to notice it, her pale skin was covered in a disgusting shade of green. But how did that make it right to kill her?Jake felt a jolt of shock when he realized that someone else had entered his apartment.On stiff legs that didn't seem to want to work for him, this second person mostly walked.Jake had not been aware of the man's presence despite his soft, eerie moans as he moved.Jake didn't come out of the spiraling depression that his thoughts were p

There was only one choice left.He knew it was his best chance, no matter how ridiculous it seemed.He turned around and moved toward the gate of the pool.There was no lock on the iron gate; instead, a small flip catch prevented the gate from being blown open by the wind.He flipped it, rushed through, opened the gate, and then, just for fun, closed it behind him.The first of his attackers reached the gate just a few moments later and slammed it with a loud thud.It attempted to grab him through the bars after letting out what sounded like an angry grunt.He was astonished as he observed from just outside its range.He should have realized that the creatures couldn't open doors.They seemed to be driven solely by instinct, and their only motivation was their desire to eat his flesh.More of them spilled out of the hallway, and he didn't want to wait to see which combination of their combined weight and the likely shoddy fence would prevail.Jake smiled triumphantly as he turned and headed for

Francis awkwardly responded, "It's no thang."She was beginning to appear somewhat timid herself.Jake rolled his eyes in disapproval.He added, "I have my own vehicle."That will do, thank you.After a brief moment of surprise, the big man shrugged.Where is your vehicle?“Back in the direction they had come,” said Jake.In front of the entrance."The girl Francis had referred to as "Skylar" came around the side of one of the SUVs in the vicinity and was followed by the man who laughed.A look that was probably not threatening to anyone appeared as Jake's eyes narrowed.What?”he insisted.Skylar offered her explanation, shaking her head, "They're coming through in large numbers at the front gate."Your vehicle is doomed.Jake said indignantly, "Your mom is a lost cause," and he immediately regretted it.He quickly mumbled, "I-I'm sorry."In LoL, I grew too accustomed to saying that to stupid people. "Priorities, people!"Francis said, snapping her fingers in the space between Skylar and Jake, ca

Jake sneered as he snatched Lucas' arm and knelt down to check his time.They still needed to clear the path and get on the road, even though it was midday.Dark storm clouds rose in the sky above them, covering them in a dull grey mist and dimming the light.This indicated that night would arrive earlier than usual.“With a deeper scowl, Jake responded, "That's a little too far."Can you make that before it gets dark, are you positive?Muscles and Lucas exchanged uneasy glances.Lucas responded, "Well, we have to."Jake's eyes lit up with excitement, and he smiled.He had just had a thought that probably would not have been appreciated on any typical day.However, on this particular day, this crazy day, it was a thrilling thought.He pointed to a location on the map that was close to town.This location has a hotel.About two weeks ago, it had just shut down.He stopped and waved his hand in a circle, "I would venture a guess that they found themselves with more important matters to worry about

There were explosions of light and pain, dismal but blinding flashes of color in what seemed like an eternity of blackness. Everything seemed to be spinning, even though it seemed as if there was nothing there to be spinning. It was sickening, and it made him want to vomit, but he could not be sure for even a split second that he actually had a stomach with contents to lose. Then suddenly the spinning stopped, the flashes stopped, everything stopped.It seemed like another lifetime came and went, and a dull ache began to settle inside his head and amhum one long, unbroken note without end. Slowly, he began to grow aware that he could open his eyes. This he managed, but not without great effort. Even once he had done it, all that could be seen was a blur, a shapeless void of colors and light that did not seem to make any sense. With a fortitude that would shame even Hercules, he managed to blink a few times, and in doing so cleared away some of the blurriness.When formless blobs final

Moving along his hands and knees, he was surprised to find the table a lot steadier than he had expected. Most likely this was the benefit of going in the middle, when there was someone holding each of the four corners. Even still, the gap between the buildings seemed like an endless one as he crawled inch by inch across the table top. He tried to not look anywhere but at the board beneath him, but no matter what he tried, out of the very corners of his eyes he could see the alleyway below. It was filled shoulder to shoulder with zombies. Their inhuman groans and the rancid stench of their decay filled the air around him, threatening to overwhelm him and knock him from his perch.Then suddenly the far roof came into view, and Jake leaped the remaining distance and crashed down gratefully onto the unyielding rooftop. He rolled a few feet and then came to a stop on his back. He wanted to just lie there forever, never moving again, but as Richard was already making his way down the table

Without another word they changed direction and headed for the station. The front doors were unlocked, and so they burst through them, slamming them shut behind them.“The desks!” Richard said, indicating the nearest two work stations.Devin and Jake grabbed either side of one, while Daniel and Matthew did the same to the other, and they moved the desks in front of the doors. Richard was hunting for the keys before they even finished. Near the back door on the wall was a plaque covered in key rings. Richard frantically looked over the labels above each ring.“This must be it!” he called to the others. They hurried over as Richard pulled down three keys. He kept one and tossed the others to Daniel and Jake. “Probably gonna need to take three cars, since we don’t want anybody locked into the back.”“Hey, check this out!”They all turned to see Devin pulling open a door and reaching inside a room. He pulled out a shot gun, and held it up in the air triumphantly. “Weaponry,” he said, smil

Both men had never seen anything like it before.The organized readiness of an approaching army was completely different from this.Even more so, it was not the chaotic wave of a protest march.The undead were stumbling and collapsing, only to be overrun by the next uncaring zombie in line, making it more like a river that boiled and boiled with the tide.Side streets were filled with vast undead tributaries that somehow made their way into the main current without halting it in any way.Overall, they were still the stumbling, slow-moving wrecks they were accustomed to seeing, but the sheer number of them and the unstoppable force of their movement made them particularly horrifying to see."We are gone."Jake didn't intend to say the words.They were not representative of what he was thinking because, aside from the image of the incoming horde, his mind was completely blank.It seemed more like someone had taken control of his body and said those two words through it.It would appear that Ma

When they got to the main road, they went south.They were on their way to the base without a zombie in sight, as they had been for days.Even when driving cautiously and with a high level of alertness, 25 miles was not a lot of distance to cover in a car.In this region of the country, almost no cars were on the road.This might have been suspicious if they were going to a bigger town, but cars had never been as important here in the middle of nowhere.Tractors instead of cars would have been seen driving down the highway in this area frequently.In point of fact, they did pass one tractor that had veered off the road in the wrong direction and had its engine casing open, indicating that someone had been working on it.Everyone in the car tightened their muscles and prepared their weapons as the first houses and small businesses crawled past the windows.The passing world was being watched intently, waiting for any movement to appear.Every storefront was dark, and every vehicle was either s

She gave him a long, passionate kiss without stopping or letting go.They fell to the ground and let the night consume them.The room was flooded with pure, white light as the early morning sun broke through the window panes.The room became increasingly illuminated as the sun rose higher and higher.In time, even Jake's sleeping spot just below the windows had been freed from shadow.He finally got up, opening one eye and quickly closing the other.He had a look of annoyance on his face.He rolled over in an effort to move away from the light and reached out to wrap Skyler in his arms, but all he found was an empty floor.He sat up as he opened both eyes now.He turned and looked around the room, but there was still no sign of her. She was not there.He wondered when she had left during the night.It could have happened at any time because he must have fallen asleep almost immediately following their encounter.He noticed that he was mostly naked when he looked down at himself.His pants were s

He thought to himself that this was insane.I've thrown myself at huge hordes of zombies numerous times, but I'm afraid to face a petite blonde woman in this world of zombies.He stopped pacing, only realizing once he did so that he had still been doing it, and took a deep breath. If he procrastinated any longer, he would probably just spend the rest of the night procrastinating. It was now or never, he decided. Time to cowboy up or wuss out, and he sure as Hell was not going to wuss out. With quick, determined steps he crossed the room and entered through the doorway into Francis ’s room. She was standing at the window, staring out at the fading twilight. In the dim, purple pink glow of the late evening, she seemed even more beautiful. She seemed radiant, refulgent even, as though she was the one glowing and not the sun and moon outside. He opened his mouth to greet her, but no sounds came out, and after several seconds he realized that he was, in fact, going to wuss out.He turned

He was silent for quite some time."My family is dead," he finally declared."He saw that she was worried when he turned to look at Francis.He was holding his phone in his hands and absently twirling it, which she first noticed.Obviously, I don't have any proof.However, I'm confident that someone I knew would have checked on me once it became clear what was going on.After pressing a button, he lightly waved the phone, and the screen lit up.However, there is nothing.Absolutely no message.a phone call, not an SMS.As a result, it's likely that they were all too young to worry about me when they passed away.This suggests that I am the only person alive who is connected to our small group of survivors.If there weren't zombies and we weren't fighting for our lives, I wouldn't be friends with any of you if I had the choice.I probably would have tried to avoid each and every one of you as much as possible.Still, I'm here.All of us are here.He stopped, put his head in his hands, and Francis gave
