Speedster In The Apocalypse Chapter 45
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

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

“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

“Where did you leave her?” Christopher asked his son in between breaths while simultaneously clutching his side.Xander zoned out for a moment and looked a bit closer at the area he thought his father had originally gotten injured before, it almost seemed to be becoming… darker-“Xander answer me! Where is Hailey?” Christopher asked again, bringing Xander back to his senses. “Yes, yes I’ll take you to her right now.” Xander said as he opened the door to the bakery and rushed into the kitchen.“Hailey, you are still here right?” Xander asked as he knelt down next to the cupboard he left his sister in.A moment passed and he could hear her subtle sobs through the wooden door. “Sniff.. yeah... I am... sob.” The little girl said and a wave of relief washed over both Xander and his father.“Come out for me sweetie.” Christopher said obviously sounding relieved and quickly the little girl rushed out and ran to hug her daddy.“Daddy… sob... I thought you were gonna get hurt.” She said as sh
Speedster In The Apocalypse Chapter 49
An hour had passed by now, and Xander had managed to put Hailey to sleep. She spent most of the night crying, he spent most of the night consoling her.He wanted to cry as well, but breaking down at such a crucial moment wasn’t negotiable. He was the man now and he had to act like it. Hailey had gone through enough, he needed to be able to support her.She slept on one of the beds in the room while he sat on the floor, laying his back on the wall with the gun on his lap. He managed to get her to eat some bread and drink water before she went to bed.To confirm the worst he went back to the room they left their father and took a peek. As he thought, he was gone. He laid there, on his back arms crossed and facing upwards. He looked peaceful, Xander’s breath began to shake once again but he stopped himself and made his way back to the room with Hailey.So much was going through his mind that night, but one odd thing that kept happening was the footsteps that regularly came to the front o
Speedster In The Apocalypse Chapter 50
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

Xander fell to the ground once again, his body was screaming at him. Mark's body lay on the floor, and Adrian’s body lay in front of him. He rested his head against the wall behind him and clutched his side once again. He looked towards where Hailey was sitting and saw her crouched against the wall with her legs tucked against her chest.He used a larger part of his energy to lift himself up and move over to his crying little sister. She leans into him and continues sobbing. Xander felt terrible. Not just because of the pain he was feeling, but because of what his sister was experiencing.She was barely thirteen and she had just killed a man and lost her father a day ago. He was barely holding on so he couldn’t imagine how traumatic it was for her. He looked at the horrific sight in front of them, with Mark's body and Adrian tied up in the corner. ‘Things won’t get better as long as we are in this same spot.’ He thought inwardly.He slowly got up and gently raised his sisters up in

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

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

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
