THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 138 - Her Perfect Revenge
Lisa had not walked far when she started hearing shouts from outside.Some of the shelter’s original guards stationed around the scientists quarter rushed past Lisa and she quickly flattened herself against the wall to avoid being knocked down.Her head still ached from her incessant crying before and after they switched off the life-supporting machine of Dr. Blair.Guilt weighed heavily on her as she tried to dispel the image of Dr. Blair being wheeled out.She was curious about what was happening outside but she was even more curious about what happened to her brother.She took the corner that led to the lieutenant’s office and saw him striding away down the hall."Lieu..." She saw him taking the turn that led towards the entrance before she could call out to him."Shit,” she said and she hurried after him.“Going somewhere?” Anastasia stepped out of the shadow of the alcove where she was lurking.Lisa’s breath backed up in her lungs and her hand flew to her chest in fright.When sh
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 139 - Once A Loser, Always A Loser
Blood trailed Anastasia’s path as she dragged Lisa with her outside. The low whimpering noises coming from the unconscious Lisa had no impact on her, as she was fixated on getting her revenge. More gunshots resounded as she got closer to the archway that led outside. “What the hell?” one of the few harried soldiers said as he saw her dragging someone out. “What the hell are you doing? Get back inside!” he said as he climbed a convertible close to the walls in order to get a better look at the zombies trying to climb the walls from that side. He quickly turned away from her, fully expecting her to heed his warning. Anastasia was not about to give up, though. “I will get my revenge!” she kept muttering to herself as she dragged Lisa over the rough-tiled ground. Few of the people in the shelter who had been watching the soldiers keep the zombies back through the windows suddenly saw her and they started shouting, “Is that not Mr. Van Claude’s girlfriend? What is she doing?” A wom
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 140 - Bizzare Routine
“Get in quickly!” Lt. Matteo yelled as the gate swung open again.Anastasia’s blood splashed Adam’s face as the zombies caught the smell and increased their unsteady gait to pounce on their ready victim.“What are you doing?! Get in!” the lieutenant called again as he and his men shot at the nearby zombies, who were trying to get to Adam, who stood staring helplessly at his sister on the ground.He raised his head and sent the lieutenant a furious glare, then he reached down and carried his sister.“What are you doing?! She would…”“She would what?! She would what?!” Adam roared at the lieutenant like a wounded lion. “What the fuck were you all looking at when that bitch dragged my sister out there?!”He deliberately walked past the lieutenant.Silently daring him to try to pull Lisa from him.The gate shut again and the lieutenant turned to look at the zombies that had gotten to the gate at that moment.“Put the power back up and fix this damn gate!” he yelled as he backed away and t
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 141 - My Sister, My Danger
Adam tensed as he heard the faint rhythmic sounds of the lieutenant’s footsteps.It was a silent walk to others but to Adam’s sensitive ears, every scrape and move resounded like a gong.He knew the reason why the man had followed him.“Mr. Smith,” the lieutenant said politely as the others backed away to give him space at the entrance of the cubicle.The man on the other cot tried to raise himself to salute the lieutenant, but the latter waved his hand in dismissal and the man collapsed back on the bed.His eyes went to Adam in surprise when he saw that the latter had not bothered to turn when the lieutenant called him.Lieutenant Matteo let out an indiscernible sigh and tried again “Mr. Smith, I think we need to be reasonable here.”“The only reasonable thing would be you keeping my sister safe after you all left me out there to die! The reasonable thing would be getting her a doctor right now after failing to do what you are supposed to do! You want to talk about reasonableness, li
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 142 - A Different Ballgame
"I am not faulting your enthusiasm.”Layla spoke slowly as they quickly cleaned their hands with wipes and antiseptics.Adam gave her a “what now” look and she quickly said, “I need the gun.”“What?!” Adam asked in surprise.“Admit it. It is only reasonable. A girl needs her leverage,” she said quickly.Then she interrupted him as he was about to speak. “I think you need to do it fast. These cuts looks nasty.” Adam looked at Lisa anxiously and said, “Fine, but don’t you go pointing that at her.”“No! I would never,” she said innocently as she raised her head as if in surrender. “I just needed a form of security. Just in case..."“There would be nothing like that,” Adam said immediately as he made sure his back was to the people outside.He swiftly brought out the gun from the orb and handed it to Layla.Layla blinked theatrically as she said, “Wow, I will never get used to that. After all these, I would probably think I was crazy when I think of you pulling shit out of the air. Thank
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 143 - More Bites, More Abilities
Lisa tearfully explained what she had done to Adam and Layla.For one crazy moment, Adam thought that whatever gave him the power to resist zombie bites had also happened to Lisa as well.In fact, he had entertained the thought that it might be a family thing.But then he was more shocked when she told them what happened before she met Shelby and the others talking about Adam.“Are you sure?” Layla asked with as much surprise in her tone as Adam was feeling.Lisa nodded as more tears squeezed out the sides of her eyes. “I am so sorry, Dr. Blair,” she whispered, almost to herself.Adam knew she would have to work out the guilt on her own, yet he laid his hand on her shoulder and said softly, “It wasn’t your fault, Lisa. You did what you thought was the best. And look, something good came out of it! It saved your life, didn’t it?! I have you back. Mom would also be so grateful when she wakes up and hears what you survived.”Lisa turned to him with a grimace and asked in a trembly voice,
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 144 - The Man She Once Loved
After being reassured over and over, the skeptical doctor agreed to take proper care of Lisa’s wounds that needed stitches.“I would stay with you. That way, I can shoot her before she so much as reaches for you, doc,” Layla offered and relief was evident on the doctor’s face as she entered the room fully.Layla saw Lisa’s wide-eyed look and ignored Adam’s intent look as she winked at Lisa and said, “Sorry, hon. Better that than to risk the doctor puncturing a vein because you breathed wrong.”Lisa nodded and turned her head to face the wall again.Layla only grinned when the doctor sent her an offended look.Then she decidedly avoided catching Adam’s gaze.The statement was both for Lisa and Adam anyway.She figured it was now left to him to decide if he trusted her with his sister or not.“Don’t you have somewhere you need to be?” She asked while looking at the doctor’s suturing prep.Adam remembered Lisa’s question and he asked the doctor urgently.“My mum. How is she now? Was I to
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 145 - Beginning Of The End
It was a losing battle!Lieutenant Matteo looked on with increasing frustration and the feeling of inevitable doom.He clutched the phone in his hand and speed-dialled the number he had been trying since he got back from Alagan.Same result.The number rang just as it had done many times before.The disconnecting tone was like poker in the lieutenant’s gut.The supervisor had just informed him that they couldn’t keep powering the electric fence because they were low on gas.The shelter had been running on gas since the worldwide blackout a few weeks ago.“We need to preserve the power, sir,” the flustering supervisor said while mopping his sweaty face furiously.“How long can it last us?” Lt. Matteo asked.“Maybe up to 72 hours if we do it now. If we don't, at most the last power would be drained within twenty-four hours.”"After, what will happen?” Lt. Matteo asked.“The electric fence would stop working and we would have no chance at all to keep the shelter on lockdown. Power is nee
