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
“Now that your plan has failed, what do you plan to do next?” Kaiser asked as Kiara held Dina by the hair, a whimper left her taped lips as it was obviously painful.“Did you really think it would be that easy? That you would simply take her and trot out of here?” He asked with his smile becoming more menacing than before. By this time, Phillip had ended the pretence and stalling and simply eliminated the remaining guards, stopping beside Chris whose clothes were worn from the damage from the fight.Andrew was also running up to join with the group when they were all shocked by the sight which unfolded before them. Footsteps could be heard from all around the grounds, numerous people were approaching.From the vibrations, it was far more than dozens, probably hundreds at this point as they marched towards the park. Kaiser began walking down the stairs, everyone stood in place, even Phillip was rooted as they saw the group standing behind him. If they were normal soldiers, he could
n the blink of an eye, a whole week had passed.The group was getting more and more accustomed to their new residence and life in the settlement. It was weird since they were so used to finding an infected at least once or twice in a day, so returning back to a somewhat normal life was a little foreign.However, they did still adapt to their new lifestyle quickly. So when they were confident, they all finally decided to look for something to do.Also, Frank hadn't stopped collecting blood from Philip, and according to the bags under his eyes and the excited expression he had on his face each time he invited Philip to his lab, Philip judged that his blood was indeed helping.He had tried to watch Frank work but gave up almost immediately as he failed to understand anything he was doing.On the other hand, Andrew and Dina had been socializing with the other survivors in the settlement. Most of them were pretty hospitable and had no problem in getting acquainted with the duo.There was a
Back at the base Phillip and Andrew sat together in the reception of the makeshift hospital in the settlement. Dina had begun to make a recovery and gained consciousness.Although the nurses and doctor advised them that she needed rest and would not allow any visitors so they had allowed her the past day or two to rest.Finally, they were told they could see her. They were however waiting for her hospital gown to be changed before they were allowed inside.They were waiting with Benjamin and Peter who had also been anxious as well after finding out about what had happened to Dina. Frankly, she had become quite popular with the members of the settlement, so this news saddened the lot of them.Her kids she taught at the school and their parents sent flowers and letters, wishing her a speedy recovery. They had all begged to come but we’re not allowed as she was still recovering.“How long are they going to make us wait here?” Andrew asked as he continually tapped his foot on the ground
The sight of land brought joy to Franklin as he had seen nothing but water for the better part of two weeks.The small boat that him and his fellow travelers had shared was filled with different kinds of excrement from urine to fences and the stench was unbearable.He had began the journey about a month ago where they crossed a desert before getting to a beach shore where they saw numerous boats lined up with several people as well.At first he felt unsure of continuing the journey hit when he remembered how much he had paid to be able to go on the trip he decided to keep his fears aside and embark anyways. People present there wanted to travel across the continent but did not have the resources or funds to be able to go through the regular and legal route. This led them to follow illegal smugglers who would then take them through dangerous and illegal means. He did not care though as he felt like there was nothing to live for anymore since he had lost his mother, the only person t
Christopher was faced with a terrifying sight, a grotesque giant monster in the store that he was was literally gnawing on another human being.His legs immediately gave out and he fell flat on his but. He began shaking uncontrollably, almost wetting himself but he kept us composure.The creature had not taken note of him yet so he quickly decided within himself that he should get away as soon as possible. He struggled and tried his very best but his legs simply would not listen to him. He succumbed to his situation and began crawling away. He kept dragging himself, hoping that the creature would still not take note of him but in his quest to escape he accidentally placed his hand on top of a plastic bottle.The sound almost seemed deafening, and now the sound of bones crushing from before had stopped. Christopher’s heart almost stopped as well as he was filled with dread.He turned around and sure enough his fears were correct. The creature had come out of the shop and was now stand
“Are you sure you want to join the SLF Xander? You are still quite young, I am sure there are several other divisions you can contribute to in this settlement.” Greyson said to Xander as he sat in his office.He had come to meet him directly after being told that he was too young and didn't meet the requirements to join the SLF. However he was adamant, hence his audience with Greyson.He simply told the recruiters that he wouldn’t give up unless he had seen Greyson personally and so there he was, however, his plan seemed not to be going well as even he didn’t want Xander to work in such a dangerous unit at such a young age.“Respectfully sir, I don’t want to work in any other unit other than the SLF.” Xander said in a composed manner, one that almost seemed too mature for his age.“If I may ask, why are you so determined to serve there? You’re still young. In a year or two you’ll be eligible to protect the settlement.” Greyson tried to point out.Xander took a deep breath and thought
“The primaries aren’t looking too good Mr Greyson.” His secretary said after making his presentation on the projector in Greysons office. He was holding some documents and graphs from the last primaries that had just been held concerning his rerun election. He was pursuing a second term in office as the next round of elections was coming up.“Just what could the problem be Chris? I kept all the promises I made during my campaigns, so just why are the polls so negative.” Greyson said as he leaned back in his chair and put his palms on his face.Chris could only look at his boss with a bit of sympathy. Ever since the introduction of the G-Virus which still couldn’t be explained, his competitors had begun to take advantage of the situation. Making promises such as protecting those who voted for them from the virus.Although it was a deplorable tactic, it seemed to be working. Greysons main competitor, Judas Layton was the embodiment of power hungry. He had always been guilty of making f
