Christopher rested the remainder of the ride and eventually, they came to an abandoned office building. It was about six stories tall and in pretty rough shape. “We have arrived,” Franklin said as he turned towards an obviously tired Christopher.He raised his head up, feeling a bit dizzy, he did not know whether it was because of the near-death experience he had just experienced or because his stomach felt as if it was eating him.When he woke up and observed his surroundings earlier he was exhausted and his stomach growled but he completely forgot about it amidst the chaos that was ensuing. “Do you need any help getting off?” He asked kindly. Christopher had not been with Frank for that long but he could at least tell that he was kind and gentle. He took a closer look at him, his facial features and all.He had a chiselled jaw line with brown eyes and short black hair. He was wearing some worn-out clothes with a cross-body bag hanging around his chest.“No thank you, I’m good eno
The sight of land brought joy to Franklin as he had seen nothing but water for the better part of two weeks.The small boat that him and his fellow travelers had shared was filled with different kinds of excrement from urine to fences and the stench was unbearable.He had began the journey about a month ago where they crossed a desert before getting to a beach shore where they saw numerous boats lined up with several people as well.At first he felt unsure of continuing the journey hit when he remembered how much he had paid to be able to go on the trip he decided to keep his fears aside and embark anyways. People present there wanted to travel across the continent but did not have the resources or funds to be able to go through the regular and legal route. This led them to follow illegal smugglers who would then take them through dangerous and illegal means. He did not care though as he felt like there was nothing to live for anymore since he had lost his mother, the only person t
“What the hell is that?” One of the soldiers screamed in horror as the creature removed its tail from the bow lifeless soldiers body.The sound of gunshots filled the air as more soldiers began running in different directions as more creatures began falling out.In an instant all the immigrants who had been composed scattered in multiple directions as everyone wanted to escape from the beasts.Franklin was no different as he immediately got up and ran away, trying to put distance between himself and the ensuing chaos.He ran several feet away from the camp to where there was a warehouse that contained vehicles. His chest rose and dropped in large compressions as he was gathering himself and processing what had just happened.“Monsters, there are monsters in this country” he mumbled to himself. He never thought he would be seeing something like this. The sounds of gunshots and screams could be heard from the distance as the soldiers continued to fight the monsters. He crouched in a co
“Wow, that’s insane. So you’re not even from here, yet you just got thrown into this whole mess.” Christopher said in bewilderment.Franklin was handling this way better than he would have ever imagined. This wasn’t even his country, yet here he was. He was roughing it out much better than he who had lived there his entire life.“Well, I came here to get a better life for myself. I can not really say that is what has happened so far, but wherever I find myself I should at least try to do the best I can. If not for anything, to say thank you to the man that saved my life.” Franklin said with a cheerful smile.His ability to see the good in most situations was something that Christopher admired in the short time that they had spent together.“What about you Chris? How did you end up in this part of town when everybody had evacuated. I’ll be honest, I never imagined I would see another human for a while.” He asked as he opened a can of food for himself.“Well it who’d be understandable t
“Alright, let us do it. We can survive together” Franklin said ahain, reminding Christopher that he genuinely said it the first time with surprised Christopher.“I’m sorry, what did you just say?” He had to ask again to be sure he was not hearing things wrong.“I said I agree, we can survive this world together.” He reiterated.Chris was still in a bit of a daze, franklins friendly smile and immediate acceptance of his suggestion puzzled him. Once again, he had nothing to gain from this new partnership but here he was accepting it anyways.Within himself Christopher determined he was not going to be the reason Franklin got hurt or even worse, died.And for a good while that is what happened. They foraged together, hunted together and had each others backs through thick and thin.After spending quite some time together they created a schedule to help one another. Franklin had noticed that Christopher seemed very inclined to fighting and seemed very sturdy so he was in charge of combat,
Back at their base, the two companions had come together to make sense of what had happened earlier.They both sat in the room they were sleeping in and ate cans of food in silence before Christopher finally broke the silence.“I honestly did not know I could do that by the way.” He said as he scrapped the remaining contents of the can. “Yeah, I would have thought as much. Ha ha ha.” Franklin laughed, trying to ease the atmosphere.Christopher should have died after what happened. He got plastered face down into the ground, of course his head should have exploded like a wet tomato.But it didn’t. Instead he got up after taking such a fatal hit and killing the infected with his bare hands. They usually struggled to kill them even with the weapons they had but he simply choked the thing to death.“Did you feel anything different when you got slammed into the ground?” Franklin asked.“Honestly no. I stayed down for a while because I was still in shock. I honestly thought I should have d
“There they are!” The guard yelled as more men came onto the roof with him. They were about twelve in number and were all armed to the teeth.In the blink of an eye Christopher assessed the situation and decided to take the initiative. “No time!” Christopher said as he grabbed Franklin and threw them both off the roof of the building.“Ahhhhhh.” Franklin yelled as they rapidly descended and got closer to the ground. “Christopher what have you done?!” Franklin managed to say once more as they ground was only a few feet away from them. They knew that Christopher was invulnerable to things like cuts and the likes but they had never gone as far as seeing us he would be able to survive a fall such as this.Christopher had also begun to regret his decision. He simply acted without thinking, although he did it for the benefit of both himself and Franklin. However as the floor got closer he was not so sure it was the right choice. Just before he hit the ground he clenched his teeth and clo
Present day Christopher was blinded by rage and lunged right at Kaiser. He moved so fast Phillip almost had no time to react, he could see Christopher’s outstretched hands trying to grab Kaiser. And just as fast he could see Kaiser smirk and Saxum moving into position. He was lifting his hands up and it looked like he was about to slam Kaiser into the ground. Phillip in the nick of time was able to intervene and pull Christopher away from the swing of Saxum which was so strong that it sent waves through the air. “Arghh, why would you stop me?!” Christopher asked in a frustrated voice as he looked at Phillip. “I understand that you’re upset Chris, but you were very close to getting hurt just now. Calm down before you do something you might regret.” Phillip said to his young companion. “You tell me that but you just finished massacring a group of soldiers to save Dina!” He said as he got up. Phillip paused and digested what he had said. Honestly he was not lying since Phillip a
