THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 151 - Morbid Motivation
Adam was surprised by how easily the lieutenant accepted the idea this time around.Layla didn’t even have to try to convince him.When he said "Okay,” even before Layla finished listing out the reasons why he needed all hands on board, Adam raised his brows at him in surprise.He glanced at Adam and continued talking to Layla. “Mr. Smith has mentioned something like that earlier as well. I have decided to give it a trial. On one condition, of course.”“What condition?” Adam asked.“That you only stick to your area of strength, and me or one of my men will supervise your training at all times."Adam was about to protest but Layla quickly said, “Sounds reasonable to me.”Adam grunted but said nothing again."So, what can you do?” Lieutenant Matteo asked.“I can teach them how to shoot and how to fight dirty while trying not to get bit,” Layla said.“And where would we get guns to distribute to them? Assuming they were able to learn such skills within two days, I mean, ”“I am sure you
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 152 - Futile Thought
Layla’s dedication to the training was almost maniacal.Even after others had gone to eat and rest, she still stayed behind in training.Adam tried to dissuade her, but he only succeeded once.The second time, she simply told him to teach her how to kill with the sword.“In turn, I would teach you more about how to handle a gun better. You are getting better at it but you are still a lousy shot.”Adam had accepted, and they trained for three more hours.Normally, everyone was supposed to train for three hours at a time, after which there would be a two-hour break where people would rest their muscles, eat, and get ready for the next three hours of training.Everyone was stretched taut by the end of 48 hours.Yet not Layla.Despite the fact that she had been training almost nonstop, she still looked like she was not having enough.She attacked every aspect of the training like something was chasing her.With only Ralph for company most of the time, she would train long into the night.
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 153 - Worrisome Acceptance
“Where is it?” Adam asked urgently.“Where is what? Why are you speaking in whispers?” Lisa asked Adam as she gave him a confused look.Adam reigned in his anxiety long enough to pick a chair close to them.He brought it to her and said “Sit”Lisa sank into the chair with a grateful sigh. Then she looked up at him “What has gotten…”“The solution you used. There is more of it, right?’Lisa’s eyes widened and she quickly looked towards the closed door.“What do you mean? Why… why are you suddenly asking about that now?” she asked anxiously.“I have had it on my mind since you woke up. I just want to ensure that you are okay first. Look” Adam crouched in front of her before he continued.“According to what you said, you saw the way the solution eats up the virus when Dr. Blair tested it, right?”Lisa nodded as she tried to follow his reasoning.“And it worked for you when you injected yourself with it, right?”“Obviously” Lisa answered slowly. “It is the reason why I survived the bite”
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 154 - More Damage Than Good
Adam was on the lookout while Lisa injected Marriane with the solution.She was still chirpy and awake for a while after she had it and even joked about the fact that they both looked more worried than she was.Then suddenly she complained of feeling weak.Within minutes, she was unconscious.Though Adam could feel her heart beating steadily, it took him only a moment of hesitation before he went to get one of the doctors to check on her.The doctor checked her out and frowned in concentration.“What is going on, doctor?” Adam asked anxiously.The man stepped back and checked the chart he had gotten from the lead doctor.“She seems fine, though she is in a sort of deep sleep. The medication she had last was her normal medication and it shouldn't have this effect” he said quietly.Then he looked at Lisa and Adam.“I need you to walk me through what happened exactly. I mean, before she complained of weakness”,” She…”“We were resting before the next training. Just discussing. Then she
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 155 - Your Choice Of Punishment, Mr Smith
Adam heard the lieutenant’s door open and close.Anger welled inside him as he walked faster towards the scene.“What was…”Layla yelled as she almost collided with him.“What are you doing?” she snapped at him.“I should ask you that,” Adam answered back as he looked towards the door of the office where she was coming from.As if summoned, the door opened again, and the lieutenant peered out.He frowned a bit when he saw Adam. “What is going on? Any problem?”Layla, who was still catching her breath, glared at Adam and said, “I don’t know. Is there a problem?” she asked Adam.Adam looked from her to the lieutenant, who looked less stuffy in a plain t-shirt as opposed to the uniform he always had on since he got to the facility.Was that the type of man she liked? Adam wondered.“Mr Smith?” The lieutenant’s voice as he stepped out fully invaded Adam’s thoughts.“No,” he responded tersely, and he turned back to go the way he came from.Soon enough, he heard Layla’s footsteps behind him
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 156 - Not Intelligent Enough
The estimate was inaccurate after all.After exactly 69 hours and 54 minutes, the lights flickered as the last dreg of gas got drained.Not a minute later, the power shut off.Everyone held their breath as they waited for the inevitable.Adam, Lt. Matteo, Layla, Ryan, and Dixon were in the lead as they waited for what was to come.The few soldiers guarded every entrance that led to where all the others were hiding.It was more that they were lying in wait because each of them had a weapon or another.Everything movable within the facility had been fashioned into one sort of weapon or another, depending on who was wielding it.Even Persephone had a hammer with her.Dixon had managed to drive it home about how important it was that she swung it at anything that tried to hurt her.It was left to be seen if that would be enough.Still, they were all locked away in every room with a secure lock.If all went well, they might not be bothered at all.Hours before the gas went out, Adam and th
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 157 - No Calls, No Supplies
A week laterLt. Matteo’s back was to the zombie.He was currently dealing with one zombie that had surprised him with its strength.Adam knew he couldn’t shoot the zombie at that range without killing the lieutenant too.So, he dislodged the zombie clinging to him, dove for his sword, and promptly struck hard at the zombie that was about to bite the lieutenant.Its blood splashed on the lieutenant’s back as he finished off the zombie he was dealing with.They were both breathing heavily as the lieutenant raised his head and wiped the black blood from his face.“Oh damn it. Another shirt ruined,” he said with annoyance as he stripped off the soiled shirt.“Better that than dead,” Layla said as she came forward to join them.Lieutenant Matteo chuckled.“Well, come on then,” Layla said as she nodded at the three dead zombies.“Yes, mom,” Adam muttered as he stood up.In no time, they had gathered up the bodies, and the smell of rotten flesh was soon in the air as the bodies burned.Thou
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 158 - Promise Of Hunger
New people arrived at the facility.There were about six of them.Four males and two females.They were very disappointed when they realised that the facility they had thought would be their safe haven was nothing but a building filled with people who had no idea what to do next.There was no longer food to go around, and the kids were prioritized at this point.Some of the people in the facility had started grumbling about leaving.They believed they might have a better chance out there trying to survive than staying at the facility with the promise of hunger.The lieutenant repeated what he had told them before.They would soon get a new batch of supplies.But Adam knew it was just words of motivation.He asked Lt. Matteo again when the meeting dispersed.The latter shook his head with a sigh. “No, I haven’t heard anything. But it is better than letting them all go out there, isn’t it?” he admitted.The new arrivals joined them that afternoon.They were led by an Irishman named John
