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
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 134 - Less Caution, More Action
A buzzing sound made Adam slap hard at the watch the lieutenant had insisted he take with him when he was about to leave the aeroplane.It was a countdown alarm watch.Adam looked at the oval face of the plain watch and saw it counting down from five minutes.“Shit!” he thought to himself as he looked out from the side of the clubhouse building where he stood.The area they dropped him at seemed deserted and free of zombies at first but he had not gone far before he saw them pouring out of buildings and alleyways.The airplane’s rotor had been silenced in such a way that it was barely more than a hum yet they must have sensed it.The soldiers were divided into two.Some were outside the city wall, while others landed inside.Adam had no idea what they were looking for.At the moment, he couldn’t care less.He just wanted to get what could save his mother.One thing he had realised in the past five minutes, though, was that no beasts were within the walls of Alagan, only outside.Which
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 135 - Filial But Stupid Man
Liuetenant Matteo discovered something alright.It wasn’t the weakness of the beasts, as his superiors would be expecting.It was that the beasts wanted nothing to do with the zombies and vice versa.While he hesitated to leave in the hope that Adam would still come out alive, he had seen some of the zombies walk out of Alagan.The beats were lying in wait for them.Lieutenant Matteo had thought that a solution to one of their problems was about to materialise right there.Instead, the beasts only gave the zombies a wide berth.Apart from snarling at them, the zombies quickly lost interest in the beasts as well.They passed each other like they were allergic to each other.“Damn it!” he muttered and told Pete to move.He had only waited a while because he didn’t want to have to answer uncomfortable questions back at the shelter.As time passed swiftly, he accepted the fact that Adam had met his death in Alagan.The watch he gave him had a tracker.He had told Pete to fly over the spot
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 136 - That Asshole Van Claude
Lieutennat Matteo immediately had Jean sent out of the facility.His snivelling and cries for mercy could be heard throughout the facility as people left their duty posts and came to watch him being thrown out.“If you have enough strength to kill people, you should have enough strength to survive out there on your own,” Lt. Matteo said with fury as he turned deaf ears to Jean’s pleas.Two of his men dragged Jean out of the facility like a dog.“That means he would die out there,” one woman whispered to another.“Or he would become one of those things.”“Zombies. They are called zombies, Maggie. Not mentioning them doesn’t mean they are not out there.”“Umph!”Anastasia, who was just coming from the bathroom, where she was trying to wax her legs with a coarse blade, rushed towards the lieutenant as she heard Jean’s whimpering voice yelling and calling for help.“Sir, please. You can’t just throw him out. He is the son of the Van Claudes of...."She shut her mouth as the lieutenant tur
