Speedster In The Apocalypse Chapter 30
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
Speedster In The Apocalypse Chapter 31
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.

Dina and Andrew tiptoed through the large city, trying their best to stay away from the hidden lights of the watchtowers. They covered a decent amount of ground before finally coming across the more bush part of the settlement: the slums they had passed earlier.They saw some guards but saw no reason to be scared of them since they began to see other residents moving about so they just decided to blend in with the crowd. They had covered themselves up with scarves to hide their identities, especially Phillip. His hair and eye color always stuck out like a sore thumb. They began moving through the slums, they saw people sleeping under the tents and inside the makeshift container houses.However, the more they walked the larger the crowd seemed to become. As they were reaching towards the center they saw a gathering of people surrounding a bonfire. The air around them was one full of cheer and heartiness.It was admirable considering their deplorable conditions. Phillip looked around

"Philip, that's insane!" Andrew said with a bewildered expression."You saw what's happening with these people!" Philip retorted."Can you imagine the agony of having your life force sucked out of you? Because I sure as hell cannot! Say what you want but there's no way I'm just going to let all these people die for some selfish vixen!" Philip was truly livid after he knew what these people had been going through.Hearing this, Andrew pressed his palms together in front of his face and took a deep breath."I fully understand where you're coming from." He started."But how in God's name do you intend to save them? I know your morals won't let you sit by and let something like this happen, but do you really think you can save all the people in this place? You got exhausted just by carrying Dina and I and who knows how many people are in here?" Andrew reasoned."I know that!" Philip said through his teeth. Then he blew out a breath and his rage seemed to go out with it."I'm not going to

"I hope things turn out well for those people, they seem to have been through a lot," Dina said and looked back in the direction they came from. By now, half a day had passed and the group had made quite a bit of distance from the settlement.They left immediately both to save time as well as to avoid being entangled with whatever happened after Ford became the new leader."When we reach our destination, I'm planning to come back here and see how this place becomes." Philip said and smiled at the other two."Would you guys follow me?" He asked and the duo shrugged."Sure," Andrew asked for the two of them."I want to come too!" Benjamin moved his head from Dina's back and said."Hehe. Sure." Phikok chuckled."Anyway, now that we're on the move again, we still have about 29 miles to cover before we reach our destination," Dina said."We should be able to make decent time. So yeah. Home stretch I guess." Dina smiled."Don't get complacent, we still have those guts chasing after us, we c

Philip looked at the battered, severed head in front of him and his mind went blank, he was unable to process all the information he just received."You see, I sent out an order. It was to capture you and kill anyone who you deemed as an ally or companion. Since you went out of your way to help those rats, I naturally had to enforce my order." Kaiser snickered seeing Philip's expression."Don't feel bad. We would have killed them regardless. Still, I can't help but marvel at how much you care about those pests." Kaiser shook his head."You told Xavier that they were innocent. Would you spare a rat if it hadn't done anything? And besides, even if you spare it, it will eventually take advantage of you. These pests may look up to you now. But sooner or later, they'll begin to fear you, and then they'll try to either kill you or control you." Despite saying all this, Philip didn't hear him. Or rather, his brain didn't register his words.He just kept looking at Ford's head in a daze.It h

"Hmph, the only reason you beat me before is because you caught me off-guard. I won't let the same thing happen twice." He declared confidently."That's a nice way of saying you were completely outmatched by me, but sure, take it however you want." Philip said with total disregard.Xavier was annoyed by his words, but he didn't make any dumb moves.'Xavier is almost fully recovered and can fight. Though from what he said, Philip completely negated his shield the last time they fought. Then again, I doubt he'd be bold enough to engage Philip without having a way to fix his defences.' Kaiser thought as he stared at Philip who seemed to be thinking.'I have about 80% of my energy left. And Kaiser is somewhere between heavily and moderately wounded after my last attack.' Philip thought and glanced at Xavier.'He's arrogant but I don't think he's dumb. There's no way he'd fight me again without some way to properly defend himself.' He looked at Kaiser and Xavier again and the two immediate

Three days later."We should be coming up on the settlement soon." Dina said as she looked at the map before folding it up.Andrew let out a breath of relief while Philip simply nodded with no expression. Dina saw this and sighed inwardly.'He still blames himself.' She thought.After Philip had cried his heart out, he ended up sealing his emotions behind an impassive face. Dina wanted him to know that doing that instead of confronting his emotions would harm him in the long run. But she couldn't just bring herself to do so.'Seeing him cry like that.' Her mind went back to that moment when she saw him weeping. And her heart couldn't help but shatter for him.They knew just how much he wanted to help those people. After all, she and Andrew wanted to help them as well. So the feeling they got after they realized that all their efforts were for nought was just horrible.'Well, hopefully, this place is what we hope it is. That way we can properly settle down.' She decided and put the map

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

“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
