here am I? That was the first thought Philip had when he woke up. From the bumping sensation he kept feeling, he knew that he was in some sort of vehicle. He also remembered some guy coming to ‘save’ them before he lost consciousness, so he was very concerned.However, he made no effort to open his eyes or stir. Because he could hear two people having a conversation next to him.“This guy seems pretty strong.” The first one said.“Even if he’s a special grade, it’s very impressive that he was able to hold down that many infected on his own.” He continued to say.“That’s right, and with the way he was looking, he barely had any energy left. Boss will be very happy with us when we get back.” The second said with a hint of excitement.Boss? Special grade? Philip saved these two thoughts in his mind and kept listening.“By the way, what do you think sir Kaiser is going to do about those two?” The first one asked and Philip restrained opening his eyes. They must be talking about Andrew and
Nine years had just passed by in the blink of an eye and Christopher was now fourteen years old. He had grown up in the orphanage and had adjusted to life well there, better than he could have possibly imagined in all honesty.He never thought that he would find more peace in an orphanage than his parents own home. It took a while for the boys to get used to him but eventually they began to bond and connect with one another.The orphanage has also began to receive more donations from secret donor, the man did not want any attention. He was only doing it from the goodness of his heart.Everything was going well until that fateful day when they all went to the zoo.“Chris i do not think i have ever been this excited to go to the zoo.” One of the other orphanage kids, Solomon said excitedly.Chris just laughed, he loved to see the joy on his siblings faces whenever they were were experiencing something new.“Mother has been planning this for a long time and it kept getting delayed becaus
“Do not even Think about stopping until I say so!” Andrew barked at the troops who were visibly tired while running laps. Their bodies seemed to ache and their chests heaved with each breath they took in. Andrew watched their progress with a whistle around his neck and arms folded across his chest. Ever since he became Captain, he had completely turned around the training regime of the force. They were now more effective and able to handle more difficult situations, thanks to Andrew’s guidance. He continued to watch over their progress when he heard the sound of a vehicle drive onto the training ground. He turned around and saw one of Greysons aides alight from the vehicle and walk up to him. “Captain Andrew, I have been instructed to take you to Mr Greyson immediately. He said there is something you must need to know.” She said. Andrew looked at the troops who were running behind him, of course they prayed internally that he would leave so that they could get a chance to rest a
Phillip and his crew walked closely together as they passed through the makeshift wooden gates which led them into the settlement. They tried to observe as much as they could while passing through, especially exits should they need to escape from the place for any reason.The walls were made from timber and reinforced by rows of lamp posts, despite the fact that the infection spread less than two months ago the measures they had taken to protect themselves were very impressive.And unlike his earlier assumptions, the walls actually spanned about 3 kilometers across all four sides of the settlement. Every 50 meters or so there was a watch tower with people with guns at the top.Upon closer inspection, some parts of the walls were covered in graffiti. Names of departed, days In captivity and other random yet strange things were painted on the walls.“Follow me.” Alice said as she turned and passed through what was formerly a commercial district but had now become a makeshift residential
“Choose your next words wisely. Otherwise, you and everyone else in this room are going to be In serious danger.” Phillip said as he looked down on Greyson who was trying to steady his breathing.The guards around him were still aiming all their weapons at him and the rest of the people in the room were intrigued as well. Eventually Greyson rose to his feet, adjusting his clearly worn out suit and tie before clearing his throat.“Ahem, I am sorry Phillip. It seems like there has been a misunderstanding somewhere in our conversation. I did not mention your companions to threaten you. I simply wanted to make a bargain with you.” Greyson explained.“Our facility is safe, we have security, food and a place where you and your companions can sleep. Surely this is much better than wandering endlessly? Would it not be better to make this place your base of operations?” Greyson proposed to him.“Well, your guards don’t particularly seem pleased to accept me.” Phillip said while glaring at the
"This is the place?" Philip asked the soldier who also acted as his driver as they pulled up in front of a house."Yes, your companions were kept here. If you need anything then use this." The soldier said while handing him a walkie-talkie.Philip thanked him and got out of the jeep.The moment he got out, Andrew and the others came out of the building and went over to him."What happened?" Andrew asked, not really worried, just curious."Well, it's nothing bad. I'll tell you inside." Philip said and the group went in.The interior was pretty basic and there was no electricity. But it was a lot more comfortable than their previous lodgings so they had to desire to complain.Philip sat down on the couch and let out a breath feeling relaxed. For the first time in a very long while, he actually felt safe enough for his nerves to not always be on edge."So…?" Andrew said and everyone. looked at him."Well, they took me to meet their leader," Philip said."And?" Dina asked."From what I sa
Phillip and Andrew leave the room in silence, walking side by side. They were still trying to comprehend what they had just heard.Even Phillip who was the first to be informed still had a hard time believing it. Turning people into infected for personal gains was something he never thought he would discover.However that was the reality, and all they could do was stop it from happening. “When do you want us to leave?” Andrew asked, bringing Phillip back to reality.“I was thinking tomorrow, any later than that and it would be unnecessary. We do not exactly have that much time to waste, especially considering we do not even know if the boy is still wandering the streets by himself.” Phillip responded.“What about Dina? Has she been informed about what is going on?” Andrew asked once again.Phillip shook his head, they had not mentioned anything to her yet as he did not see it as that important. But now that he thought about it, he would need her help since they were dealing with a chi
Xander took deep and violent breaths as he stared down at Mark who was now bleeding from his mouth.He was filled with rage, the events of the previous day were still haunting him and Hailey as well. They weren’t even done mourning their late father and here this guy was trying to constitute a nuisance.‘I should just blow his head clean off!’ He thought inwardly, bloodlust clouding his mind. But suddenly something came over him, perhaps it was realization or pity. He could now clearly see the fear in Marks's eyes. Although they wanted to take their weapons and food they never outrightly tried to kill them.The world had already fallen apart due to the monsters causing havoc, why should he contribute to that?His breathing slowed and his reasoning returned back to him. Hailey was okay which was the most important thing. He had decided that it wasn’t worth it, there was no need to kill him.“I don’t know why you decided to do this. But I’m going to let you go. When I get up, you and y
