2024-10-29 19:42:56After dinner, everyone went to their respective rooms. The kids, Richard and I went to ours while the others went to the next room. It was quiet in the room except in the middle of the night. There was a siren. The fire alarm had been triggered. The sound was irritable, but it was dangerous. We all ran out of the room as I asked the kids to wait inside. Richard came out with a gun which surprised me. I have never seen him with one. But could that really be a surprise at that chaotic time?
"What's happening?" Richard took out a walkie-talkie he had with him and asked.
"One of the soldiers who came back is infected and has affected some of the others. One has entered the building, but the rest are locked out," a soldier shouted from the other floor.
"Everyone is careful. One of the soldiers you came with is infected and has affected the ones outside. I don't know the exact damage, but it will be handled. We are safe inside. Only one got in." he said when the soldi

“ What was their intention” I asked looking at the scientist on the other office. They looked pensive. Their eyes were on the soldier with Richard. It seem there was more to the injection than met the eye. Soon, all the infected in the room were send out successfully. The soldier with Richard looked our way and signaled for us to come down. I didn’t hesitate and moved down“ Javi and Dan. Remain here. Lock the door from inside. If anything happen don’t let anyone in.” I said to them kneeling down. I wasn’t sure about anything.“ I think senior Oliver should remain here as well” I turned to look at the old man. He looked at me like I took something precious from him“ Why me. I haven’t had fun since I woke up from this crazy man’s tea. I am going as well.” He said looking disgusted at Old Kibali“ Suit yourself. Don’t let us killed” Old Kibali retorted looking at him furious. It seem the old men would not let go of it if we let them argue“ I will stay here with the kids. You go” Mrs

“Did you inject that thing?” Mark could not keep his curiosity to himself. That’s what I admire about Mark. He never shut his mouth when he feel dissatisfied or something disturbing him. That was something everyone was thinking“ No. Richard stopped me” He said looking at the injured Richard in gratefulness“ You knew it would turn people? Then why did you still take it out?” Oliver asked though I had doubt and questions on my mind as well.“ I dint know there would attack me to take it. It wasn’t finished but with it, we could solve the weakness and come with the right virus. It was incomplete.” Richard explained standing. He exclaimed holding his leg which I found weird.“ Are you okay?” I asked him in a low tone. He nodded but there definitely something wrong with him. The others walked ahead with Andrew to barricade the doors and the windows. Wherever there was a weakness and a possible attack point.I helped Richard go to the room and requested for Mrs. Kibali to open. I took him
Surviving the Apocalypse with my son Virus
Well, like any other virus affecting the world, this one come all too sudden and with little control.Early morning on Monday, I prepared my son Javi to go to school. I packed his lunch, water and breakfast for the whole day. It has been a routing for years that it only takes me an hour or so.At exactly 6:30 am, I led my son to board the school Van to go to school. I said hi to the school driver and the teacher on duty before going back in the house. I had so many things to do.I was done with laundry and heading to the kitchen when I heard shouting’s from outside. We live on the third floor room number 205. My husband worked at a research facility.For the last few days he had been busy and had little time to spend with us. Which is normal regarding his line of work. Saving people’s livesI rushed on the balcony to see what’s happening and I was stunned.People were attacking each other. It was weird. When two people atta
Surviving the Apocalypse with my son Where is my son
It was getting late and if I didn’t find somewhere to take cover or hurry back then, I would be doomed.Before I drew near the house, I was shot at simultaneously. I jumped screaming and raised my hand. The deafening sound was real. I never imagined in my entire life that I would be shot at, ever.“Don’t shoot. Don’t shoot” That’s the only thing that could come on my mind everything else was black.‘What do you want here?” Asked an elderly woman whom I believe lived there for years.“I am passing by. I am looking for my son. I found their van abandoned on the main road and I believe they must have passed by here. I don’t want any trouble.” I said anxiously.“Come in then.” Said the womenI walked to the compound and entered inside. I saw an elderly man sitting at a fire place holding a gun as well.At the other end of the corner I saw someone I k
Surviving the Apocalypse with my son Clearing the infected
Since we were driving on the unused road, the infected were few. I think it was because most people were caught unaware that’s why the effect was that much. The number of people that were infected was too many. I just prayed that my husband and kid were doing okay wherever they were. It was so hard to think our family was surviving in different routes with no clue where the others were.The worst part is not knowing whether they were alive or not.The phone disconnection was the worst thing ever.We were back to square one. The age where there is no communication.I didn’t know where my husband was and if he was looking for us. He may be a busy man, but he loved us to the core. He would do anything to find us. Now, that’s where the problem is. How will he find us? Suppose I found my son; where would we start looking for Richie? It was hard. Way too hard. Those were some of the worries that were on my mind.The car stopped ab
Surviving the Apocalypse with my son Running for their lives
Well, they say that if you cannot win, then retreat and come back stronger. There was no way we could have made it to the house alive. We had to figure out what to do next.Dan, I, and the elderly man moved ahead, trying to get rid of the undead following us. Since we left the field and entered the woods, we had to be careful of the hidden dangers in the woods.The trees were swinging. It would’ve been an excellent day to admire the beautiful rhythmic songs of the trees. At least that’s what I thought.There was no sound from birds in the forest. That could only mean one thing. It was dangerous.Following behind the old man, I carried the boy on my back. He was a bit heavy, but that was the only solution. I didn’t want him running off again in the face of danger.Old Kibali, as I called him, was so serious. He lifted his hand to signal I stop. I immediately stopped and listened as well. We could hear snarling sounds and rust

With a few words they kept it low but they were scared. Whatever they saw there made them scared to death.The dead roamed around coming closer to us and lingered around for a long time. It was around 8 am that almost all of them left. We could not wait for the sun to be so high to start our journey.All this period, my mind was to my son and husband. Were they with a good group? Are they able to survive? Were they taking care of Javi?Ooh Javi. He is always a cheerful boy with lots of ideas in his head. He had watched lots of cartoons and games. He could speak of Zombies in his cartoons of games as they played with his father.I laughed at myself thinking on how I used to say it was just games and movies and cartoons. Now, it was different. I was the character in a real movie in life. In a movie the character can die but be alive at the end but here. I would turn and be dead forever.My leg had a very painful muscle pull when I tried to turn
Surviving the Apocalypse with my son Can't get in
How did they even think of going to the warehouse? The security is good, but how did they enter it in the first place. That was the question that was running in my mind.The warehouse had 2 fences. The outer layer was made with the Razor wire fence, from what I know about the fence. It's made of a galvanized steel blade, then 2 pieces of the stainless steel razor are bound together to make it stronger on the second face layer. The welded Razor wire mesh security fence was used. As you know, they are highly secure fences and are impossible to climb or cut off with the standard tools. It gave off a secure feeling and is not easy to handle unless you won't feel pain going over it as it pieces your body."How did they even get in there?""I am not sure.""Where are the zombies coming from? They are too many. It's getting hard to get in.""Even so. That is the safest place so far.""Look at the gate. Someone is there at the second gate on the tow

Involved with the release of the virus
The rest of the crew were happy with the treatment and a place to sleep. It was much safer and a great place to spend time before the virus could be developed.Richard was a beast. He could not let me sleep the whole night.It's like his life was active again. Like I was his antidote. He didn't stop until he was drained of all energy. The following morning he went o the lab leaving me sleeping in the huge bed. I cannot say it's a king-size bed, but it was better compared to what we had experienced the months before. I slept in late, and breakfast was brought in by one of the soldiers who brought us yesterday. I ate and looked for the kids.They had gone to play on an open floor in the building turned into a pitch. They were a basketball pitch and a golf pitch on the next floor. It was great for them to release their tensions sometime. I could see inside the other lab from the floor as the scientists went through the different procedures testing the rats set on small transparent boxes.

Richard and the army
"Everybody down. Down. On your knees. Hand behind your head." They were too fast for us even to think. I held Javi and Dan and went on my knees with them. I could not give them a chance to separate us. I had hidden the gun, but I didn't know for how long though."Search them" I didn't even have time to breathe when the men came over to us. We had to stand and allow them to do everything on our bodies in the name of the search. The guy caressing my body was smiling evilly when Oliver ran to him. He tried to run to him but held back," don't you touch her." I had never seen such a look on his face. He was damn angry. It made me feel warm inside.Not only him but all the others were so angry, and you could see on their faces."Behave," the lead man said to the guy, searching for me. He saluted and looked at him in anger. He found the gun in my boot. I wore a piece of sheath down there. It helps to keep weapons hidden.They took all our weapons and put them down in front of us.

I ran and crossed the fence James and Oliver following behind me. I turned to see Peter being chewed by the dead right in front of me. His screams were miserable. I cried but there was nothing I could do" Let's go". Old Kibali said after he closed the fence to delay the dead from coming after usWith my weapons at hand I felt at my end.The kids, Mrs.' Kibali and Old Kibali were ahead as Oliver ran forward to help his brother carry their father. We walked through the farm going to the main road.I could no longer hear Peter scream. The gnarling grew distance on every step I took.In the next hour, we killed few on our way. I vent my anger and frustration on them. I made sure I killed them to stupor. The others looked at me like I was crazy. Even Javi looked at m

“Is he going to be alright?” Mark and Oliver asked“Yes. It was just a knock out drink. He is okay. We are going to take turn to carry him until we reach a safe distance.” He said placing him down“Peter are you okay.” I walked to peter and asked. I noticed he looked deep in thoughts and worried“ I am okay. I am just tired of all this movement. I wish we could get somewhere and settle.” He said looking dejected“Don’t worry… we will.”Right at that moment the radio broadcasted“ Can someone here me… Hello.. if you are out there and alive, please reply.We are looking for survivors.”“ Hello, we are here.” Peter took the radio from the table and answer before anyone could reply“ Thank God. I am Lisa. We are at Medivines railway station. We have a large space with food, security, water and medication.&rdquo
