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

    “Let Dina go and take me instead.” Andrew could hear the young man they had just rescued say. Although he was still a child and he was making a very rash decision, Andrew simply wanted his sister to return back to him safely.He hated himself that he could not find the voice to speak out against the idea since he was powerless to do anything himself. He turned his eyes to Phillip who gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. It looked as though even he did not know what the next step should be. They all did not want to admit it, but they were quite powerless in the situation. They could only hope that with Christopher’s abilities which made him invulnerable, he would be able to hold out long enough for them to create a plan to save him. “Ha ha ha ha ha!” Kaiser laughed heartily. “Finally, someone with a bit of a spine!” He said as he clapped his hands together. “I hope you know that you can not change your mind after making such a bold statement?” Kaiser asked with a raised eyebrow

    Phillip and his group watched as the cars Kaiser and his group came in drive off and disappeared into the distance. A part of Phillip wanted to pursue after them and try to rescue Christopher, but his logic returned to him moments later.“Hmmmm” his attention returned back to Dina who was squirming in his arms. His heart stung a bit as he looked at her and saw some of the bruises on her body and how slim she had become. She was still unconscious and she needed some sort of medical attention. “Dina!” Andrew yelled as he rushed towards Phillips side and crouched down beside his sister. He placed his hand on her forehead as he pushed a strand of hair aside. “What do we do now Phillip?” Andrew looked at him expectantly. He looked on as if he had lost all sense of reasoning at the sight of his sister in that state.“There is nothing else we can do. First, we tend to Dina then next we regroup and go back to the settlement.” Phillip said as he gritted his teeth.“What about Christopher? Wh

    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.

    "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
