THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 126 - Furore Of Destruction
"Come on" Adam whispered to the people behind him and he quickly darted towards the only undamaged vehicle close to the gate.The beasts must have missed it in their furore of destruction.Adam had seen it when he was scouting from the roof of the hotel to check out their route of escape.Though he could see some of the beasts from afar, he was certain that they could get the hell out of dodge before any of them could catch up with them.He only wished he had his modified offroad jeep with him.That was when he saw the truck still standing upright, parked to one side.It seemed like it was used for supplies by the hotel before the pandemic started.Adam quickly went back to meet the others and he informed them.He wanted to get back to the facility as soon as possible to get help for his mum. He was not so certain that leaving his mom inside the storehouse for a long time was a good idea as well.So he ran as quietly as possible to the truck and the others followed.Luckily the truck
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 127 - Like A Rag Doll
Adam threw out his arms to protect his head as the truck tumbled over and over again.Lisa’a scream accompanied the crashing sound of the truck.The tools in the toolbox tumbled out, and Adam felt a sharp sting as something struck his arms.Another sharp cry rang out just before the truck stopped at a precarious position near the bend of the road.Adam raised his head to see Layla holding on tightly to the door with one hand, with her other hand tightly cinched around the neck of the steering wheel.Her legs were splayed over the compartment divider, almost touching the roof of the truck.She blew her mahogany mane out of her face as she turned her head towards Adam.Adam could see a cut above her brow.“Is…”The scream came again, more agonising this time around.She turned her neck sharply towards the source and winced with pain as Adam scrambled up from where he was thrown across the dashboard.He felt a sharp pain on his back where the truck's front glass had broken against his ba
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 128 - Impossible Is A Silly Word
Dr. Blair ran out of luck.The truck blast attracted the attention of the guards at the facility and two cars drove to the scene to verify what happened.They saw the badly wounded Dr. Blair and the others, who were not looking any better as well.Everyone was banged up apart from Persephone who seemed to have escaped with little scrapes and bruises.They knew them and they didn't hesitate to quickly transport them to the facility.The lieutenant was waiting for them as Adam asked for help to get Dr. Blair treated.Dr Blair was unconscious then and Lisa was inconsolable as she kept telling her unconscious mentor that she was sorry, over and over again.The overworked doctors quickly admitted her and Dixon.They were even more surprised when Adam excused himself to use the restroom, but then he brought his mother out with him.Questions were forgotten as they felt how cold she was.They quickly admitted her and took her away with them.Layla asked to see her aunt but the look on the li
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 129 - Question And Favour
Adam asked to see Marriane.He assured the lieutenant that he would get his wounds checked, by the way, and the latter let him go.The doctors’ quarters were still off-limits to the others, so Marriane was wheeled to a temporary viewing room where Adam could see her.She was lying unconscious and unmoving.Adam had to be reassured by the doctor again for him to believe that she would be fine.“For how long?” he asked as the female doctor opened her medical bag and asked him to take a seat on the padded bench close to the bed.The doctor looked at him uncomprehensively for a moment, then asked, “You mean how long can she survive without the medication?”Adam nodded as he gritted his teeth while she dabbed his wound with antiseptic.“It would do her body good to get the transfusion as soon as possible. Trauma has already weakened her body and that has impacted the oesophagus more. The cancer could spread more if she stopped taking her medication for too long. I believe her five-year lif
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 130 - Cat Got Your Tongue?
“If it isn’t the rape coach himself,” Jean’s mocking tone penetrated through the tinny sound in Adam’s ears.He looked in the direction of the voice and swallowed down the ball of nausea that seemed intent on getting out of his mouth.Adam’s skin felt clammy, and he was anxious that he might make a mess of himself in front of this snake.“Uh, you don’t look good, buddy. Does that mean you have been given the news already? Good. I would have liked to say that I would miss you, but I won’t. Also, when you miserable idiots got eaten out there, the world would be better for it.”“What news? What rape coach?” Adam wondered as Jean seemed to waver in his presence.His blond hair seemed to merge with the orange jumper he had on before seperating again.Adam felt sweat trickle down his back, and for a moment, he forgot why he was there at that moment.Then he remembered.Food.He needed to eat.“Cat got your tongue?” Jean asked with a hint of curiousity in his tone.The sound of footsteps to
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 131 - No Proof
Adam rushed towards the lieutenant’s assigned office.“Excuse me, er, sir. This is not appropriate,” the stocky supervisor huffed as he tried to catch up with Adam.Adam ignored him and walked faster in the direction Shelby gave him.His wounds had finally sealed up at this point and he looked worse than he actually felt.He wanted to get to the lieutenant before the supervisor could call on the soldiers to stop him.Yes, he had once been treated like royalty when the colonel was conscious. Adam doubted he would receive the same treatment at the moment, so he doubled his speed.“Mister, I said...oh well,” the supervisor stopped as one of the colonel’s men intercepted Adam right before he could raise his hand to knock on the door.He tried to catch his breath as he folded his arms and sent Adam a glare.Adam stopped in his tracks and tried a wry smile to disarm the stoic soldier.The man’s stony look made him realise that wouldn’t be so simple.“See, I just need to see the liuetenant a
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 132 - Babysitting A Macho Man
Layla had to stiffen her sob as she looked at the unconscious body of her aunt, heavily swaddled in bandages.All she could see on her face were her closed eyes.She shuddered as the thought of losing Aunt Cathy forever filled her mind.“Captain would be fine.”She raised her head and turned at the sound of the mechanical voice.She had almost forgotten that Ralph was there with her.She had met him standing guard at the entrance of the cubicle when the doctors allowed her to come in.Layla sniffled and nodded at Ralph.She wondered if robots could be emotional after all, or if he was just acting as he had been trained.“I know, Ralph. I just wish she would be well soon enough and leave this goddamn bed,” she said.“Colonel is strong. She would be fine,” he said again in that toneless voice as his round eyes moved from her to Colonel Aguillar.Layla tried for a smile but it fell flat, so she simply looked away from him.“You are sad. Colonel wouldn’t want you to be sad. What can Ralph
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 133 - Weight Of The World
After ensuring Shelby that he would sort the issue out, Adam quickly went out to join the lieutenant’s men.He had promised Yoshi that Marriane would be okay and he wished the women would fulfill their promise of looking after Lisa and checking up on Layla while he was gone.He hadn’t been able to talk to Sophia.Shelby said she was taking a nap after one of her episodes of an excruciating headache. Something she had been having more frequently since the accident happened.Adam dragged on the backpack he had borrowed from Shelby and he felt like he was strapping on the weight of the world on his shoulder.He knew he smelled foul from all the sweat and blood but there was no time to clean up.He was sure that the lieutenant wouldn’t mind leaving him behind if he happened to be late.As it was, they were already aboard when Adam caught up with them.Lieutenant Matteo raised his brow and said, “I see you have not changed your mind.”“I wouldn’t even dream of it,” Adam said as he climbed
