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
In the blink of an eye Phillip was already at the front lines where the soldiers were assembling themselves and putting on their gear. They were spooked when he suddenly appeared out of seemingly thin air. “Who’s in command here?” Phillip asked the slightly frightened group in front of him.“Well based on what’s just happened wouldn’t that be you sir?” A voice said sarcastically from behind, generating a slight chuckle from all the members behind him.He was an average heighted man with well built muscles, a full face beard and ebony black skin and a shiny bald head to top it off.Phillip asked that question to know the hierarchy of the group and who’s responsible for what. “That’s very funny, however I don’t know if you are all aware but that alarm means there’s a swarm of infected rushing towards this base, correct?” He asked while turning his gaze to all of them who were staring at him.“Yes we know, we also know we don’t need one of those freaks to tell us how to do a job we’ve b
“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 after
"Life can be annoying honestly," Andrew said as he looked through the window at the harsh downpour of the rain.When the group thought that they could move for a few more hours until sunset, it suddenly began to rain heavily. Enough to force them to seek shelter.Hence, they quickly found a gas station and decided to hunker down there. On the bright side though, there were some old comics they could use to entertain the kids. And a toilet, so they didn't have to ease themselves in the open as they had been doing since."With how hard the rain is falling, we might be leaving here by noon tomorrow. Just our luck." Andrew lamented. But who could blame him? They were trying so hard to cut their travel time and arrive at the settlement, and yet they just kept facing setback after setback."Fretting over it won't change anything. It's unfortunate but that's just how it is. The only thing we can do now is take it the best we can and keep moving." Philip said, however, Andrew raised a brow.W
Xander was in a bind, the cabin they had struggled so much to get to was right in front of them but instead of relief, he felt tension. The people there numbered about ten or so, it wouldn’t be wise to confront them head-on.Furthermore, he did not want to approach them either. After what he had experienced with Mark and Adrian, he did not want to give anybody the benefit of the doubt. He could still remember the look on his face when he tried to choke the life out of him. He had gotten wiser in the last twenty-four hours believe it or not.He concluded that the best he could do was simply try to get enough cans of food before the others entered into the cabin. Funnily enough, they seemeddisagreeing. An older man with patches of grey hair seemed to be telling them not to forcefully enter, while a slightly younger man, probably middle-aged was raging for them to break the door down.This however was not a time for him to gawk and stare. It was a time for him to act! “Hailey, stay here
The rain fell heavily, battering everything it came into contact with. Even those with an umbrella were still getting wet at the intensity.Phillip however was bearing the full wrath of nature. He has stopped at a small bakery in order to get a cake for his girlfriend, Valerie as a birthday present. It was also their anniversary so he had saved up all his earnings for the past few months and bought her a designer bag. He rushed over to her apartment on foot as he didn’t have any money to board a taxi, hence his journey under the heavy rain. After what felt like hours, he eventually got to Valerie’s apartment building. He hung his drenched coat on the rack and tried to arrange his hair as best as he could before going up.As he climbed the stairs, he couldn’t help but smile when thinking about how happy she would be when she saw the presents he had gotten her.He was soon standing in front of her door, about to knock when he heard something strange. It sounded like a male voice and
Philip took a deep breath to calm himself. Right now, panicking wouldn't solve anything."I wake up and my house is dirty, the water is dirty, and my appearance has changed. The first two suggest that a large amount of time has passed, and my appearance changed after I passed out." Philip touched his chin. But why?His mind spun as he went through all sorts of scenarios. Time passing like this suggested he didn't just lose consciousness and actually fell into a coma when he passed out. His appearance also changed during the period.Thinking of this, the only plausible explanation he could think of was that he..."... Was infected. But why?" It clicked a moment later."The damn cat!" He ground his teeth. Who would have thought that this act of kindness was liable to get him infected? However, he frowned."If I am infected, am I not supposed to turn into a monster? Why did only my hair and eyes change? And why did I retain my rationality?" Once again the more he thought about it, the mo
"Come on, we're almost there," Andrew told his sister as they ran through the streets. However, the much less athletic girl wheezed as she struggled to run. They'd been running for more than ten minutes now.Andrew looked back and cursed. The monster that had been chasing them hadn't relented at all. It looked like a person, well, its upper body did. Its lower body looked like that of a spider and it would give Andrew nightmares for the rest of his life.He looked at the shotgun in his hands and hesitated. He didn't want to use the weapon both for fear of attracting more monsters and for fear of wasting what little ammunition he had left.He glanced back again, the creature was just ten steps behind and gaining quickly. He gritted his teeth and made a decision.He looks around and sees a grocery store with the front door open. Perfect."Dina over there!" He yells and points at the grocery store.The two make a break for it and Andrew lets his sister get in first before moving in hims
