Speedster In The Apocalypse Chapter one : Infected
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
Speedster In The Apocalypse Chapter 2 : Acceptance
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
Speedster In The Apocalypse Chapter 3 :Encounter
"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
Speedster In The Apocalypse Chapter 4 : Allies
"... Who are you?" Andrew warily asked the mysterious white-haired person who appeared to have saved them from the infected creature.He had fired his shotgun the moment he appeared with his arms raised. He refused to believe someone killing an infected with a single hit, and with their bodies no less, was a normal human. He was even more convinced of this theory when he appeared completely fine and snatches his shotgun before he could react."My name is Philip, and don't worry, I don't intend to hurt you." The person, Philip said with a reassuring smile, though Andrew didn't buy it for a second. He was already reaching for the combat knife strapped on his waist."I can fully understand your apprehension. After all, what I did should be impossible. I still have trouble believing it myself." Philip said and muttered the last part to himself."So why did you save us?" Andrew asked carefully. He doubted his combat knife would be any good considering Philip had ignored a shotgun blast to
Speedster In The Apocalypse Chapter 5 : Setting out
Philip analyzed the information and couldn't help but feel both a sense of luck and also incredibly lucky.He'd been unconscious for a whole month due to whatever the infection did to him. On one hand, he felt that he'd lost some good time to do something useful. But on the other hand, there was no guarantee that he'd have been able to survive the virus outbreak in the city.He sighed inwardly. No use thinking about it now.He glanced at his two new, albeit distrustful companions walking by his side.From what they told him, Andrew was a former soldier which was why he had a shotgun, and his sister Dina was a substitute teacher. An interesting pair.Anyway, due to his quick thinking, Andrew was able to survive with him and his sister when the outbreak happened, and according to them, they were heading towards a camp filled with survivors.When Philip asked how they knew it was there, Andrew told him that the leader had sent out a broadcast when the outbreak happened.Philip was a lit
Speedster In The Apocalypse Chapter 6 : Battle
Philip lightly slapped his cheeks.‘I can do this. I can do this’ Even though the logical part of his brain was screaming at him he couldn't do this, he pushed the doubt in his mind.‘Worst case scenario, I'll just run away. That thing is big and I don't want to get hit by it, but it probably swings like a crane’ He let his analytical part take over and his fear began to subside.Thankfully, another thing his ability let him do was think incredibly fast as well, so he could think of a plan without worrying about wasting time.‘The biggest problem is that I don't have a weapon. Most likely, I'll have to gather up a bunch of speed and run into it. But, can my body handle that’ The thought worried him, but he shook his head.‘We'll cross that bridge when we get there. Alright, no more sitting around.’ He let out a breath, steeled himself, and walked into the open.The moment he walked out, the giant infected looked at him with its big angry eyes, and for a moment, Philip felt like a smal
Speedster In The Apocalypse Chapter 7 : Supply Run
The rest of the night went by without incident, so the group set out early in the morning."We'll forget about heading to the base today, we need to spend the day finding food." Andrew suddenly said."Why?" Dina asked and Andrew pointed at Philip."His speed is our biggest advantage right now, and we need him to be at peak strength if we want to maintain that advantage. To do that, we need to get him food." Philip's eyes widened when he heard this."You're holding yourself aren't you? You probably expended a lot of energy fighting the infected from last night, and I doubt those canned meals were enough to sate you. Am I wrong?" Andrew said and Philip pursed his lips.Andrew was spot on. Right now, he was actually super hungry and the canned food he'd eaten the night before was barely enough to keep him on his feet."Yeah, you're right." Philip conceded and Andrew nodded.He gestured them over to a car and dug out a mp from his backpack before laying it out."The closest mall is about
Speedster In The Apocalypse Chapter 8 : Situation
The food court was very much scattered. Chairs were broken, tables overturned, and an unsettling amount of dried blood.The group quickly went over and got to the counter.Andrew told Philip and Dina to stay before jumping over the counter and moving out of sight into the kitchen, towards the Fridge Philip assumed.He and Dina ducked and waited. It was at this time Philip finally got a good look at the mostly silent girl.She was very good looking. She had a slight tan, constantly running from monsters in the sun did that to you. She had large green eyes and long blonde hair, like her brother, though his was obviously short.Her body was also proportioned very nicely. Philip judged that if she was a teacher as she said then she was probably very popular among the male students.It was then that she turned to look at him and they both stared at each other. Philip caught the same look of wariness which Andrew usually looked at him with.He smiled at her and she looked away. Philip shook

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

"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

“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

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

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, 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

CHAPTER 30Phillip 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

“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

Frank opened the door and at the entrance stood two guards with masks standing at attention. They both saluted when they saw Frankwho acknowledged them before returning to their natural positions.“This was please.” Frank said as he gestured in front of him and took charge. As they walked, Phillip couldn’t help but notice the other scientists that occupied the makeshift laboratory.The building seemed to be an old building which they had converted quite nicely into a suitable laboratory. There were at least a dozen people in there with their own secluded workspaces and tables set up with various gadgets and equipment.Lights flashed, equipment beeped and notes were taken as they studied the various tasks that were in front of them. He caught a glimpse of some fascinated faces when he was making his way past some of their desks.He could see their curiosity visible written across their faces as he walked by. ‘What a specimen!’ Some of their faces screamed as they walked further into th
