"You asked for it." Philip muttered, then his perception of time slowed.The man was stationary, his mouth still curled in an arrogant smirk. Philip was sure that he was going to wipe it off his face.He walked up to him and pulled his fist back before throwing a punch. To his surprise however, his fist stopped a few inches away from his face.The phenomenon made him frown. He felt like he had hut a solid wall. A very solid wall, dense enough to stop his punch. And yet, there appeared to be nothing in front of him.'No, that's not right.' Philip squinted. Sure enough, it was very faint, but there was a slight shimmer around the guy's body. A light grey substance that surrounded him completely. It reminded him of…'Wind. Compressed wind like that of a tornado. There's a passive barrier of wind around him that blocks all incoming objects. Even if I'm fast, I can't get past the barrier if it's already there. No wonder he was so confident.' Philip frowned and returned to his original pos

'Crap.' Philip thought as he tensed and struggled inside the cage."Don't bother, there's no way for you to move and gather enough force to break through since every part of your body is trapped." The guy said with indifference and with a wave of his hand, Philip was pulled to him."Now that I've captured you, my mission is complete. Now be obedient and let's go." Hearing this, Philip shouted some obscene things, but the guy made it so that sound couldn't escape from the cage.Seeing this, Philip slumped in his binding.'What am I supposed to do? I can't pull my fists back to attack the barrier, and I can't run either.' Philip was at a loss and wanted to pull at his hair. His frustration was understandable. After all, they'd put so much effort into running, but he got captured like this?"Unfortunately, I have to carry you back. Otherwise, I would have gone to kill those pests. After all, we can't have you being distracted when you eventually go and meet the boss. Oh well, I'll just d

"This sucks." Andrew mumbled as he and everyone else trudged through the highway.Now that they had lost the truck, the task of travelling had become many times more difficult.Initially, even with their change of route, the journey would have taken them five days max. But now that the truck was gone, Dina estimated that they'd need at least two weeks. And he wasn't sure the supplies they had stocked up would be enough to last them for that long.Moreover, moving on foot meant that they would have to expend a lot more energy, and as a result, they'd have to eat and drink more water.Also, to avoid the kids slowing them down, Andrew and Dina had to carry them. Philip couldn't as he was already carrying all their supplies, and there was no more space on his body.Andrew looked at Philip and felt a tinge of indignation. Couldn't he have led the guy away from the truck? 'Nah, from how he described the fight, it would be a miracle if he could think of something like that at that point in

"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

Philip stood in the rain without the slightest care of how he was getting drenched. Instead, he simply smiled to himself as numerous thoughts ran through his mind.'It's been around three minutes in reality, but that should have been 7 to 8 hours to me. And I spent all that time practicing my air walk. I think I should move on to the next thing.' When he thought of that, his smile grew. He couldn't wait for when he could test these new skills on something.Dismissing the thought, he focused on his next practice target.'Every action has an opposite reaction. It's the same premise that centers around things like thrusters. Though in my case, recoil.' He thought.Usually, when a gun fires, the bullet moves at incredible speed. However, the force of the ejection also causes the gun to be forced backwards. That's recoil.That's why most people need extensive training before they can use a firearm. If they hold it wrong when they fire, breaking their wrist is not a rare occurrence.What Ph

was gathered, stopping right outside the gas station before opening the door and letting himself in. He was drenched and removed his shirt which was dripping water all over the place.He squeezed it outside and hung it on one of the shelves for it to dry. Peter and Benjamin got up and ran towards him, excited for his arrival. “Phillip, you're back!” Peter said excitedly as Phillip patted his and his brother's head with a smile.“Yeah, I’m back.” He replied to them.“How was the training?” Andrew asked him, appearing from behind a shelf. “It went well, I definitely feel stronger. Any infected we come across now should be shaking in their skin.” Phillip said while mockingly flexing a muscle. “Philip, can we see your new powers?” Benjamin asked shyly. From the way Peter’s eyes lit up, Philip could easily tell that he would be excited to see it too.“Sorry guys, this place is too small for me to show you what I’ve been practicing. But don’t worry, if it comes to it you’ll be in for a big

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

There was a brief silence that enveloped the room before Phillip finally broke it. “I’m sorry, what do you mean by saving everyone?” He asked, obviously intrigued by what she had just said.“Well Phillip, I know what you are. In fact, I’m just like you.” She said while leaning forward. “You see, just like you I was infected with the virus. When it happened I thought I was going to die, but I started experiencing changes in my body. Would you believe me if I told you I was only 28 years old?” Andrea asked to the surprise of everyone.Aside from her eyes, her skin was wrinkly and soft. The lines on her face whenever she smiled and the gray hair on her head. They all completely went against what Andrea was saying. She probably expected this, as she started explaining her circumstances. “Whenever I use my powers, I get a glimpse into the happenings of the future. The more I use this power, the more it takes a toll on my body. So I try my best to use it sparingly.” She explained to them.

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

“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

“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
