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
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 159 - World-Renowned Super Hero
“Like I am batting my head against a wall,” Lisa said with a sigh as she rested her head against him.“I think everyone is beginning to think that I am wasting my time. And I can’t blame them. Everyone is tired, and they hardly had much to eat, yet I am wasting the little energy they have left on something that might be useless.”“It is not useless,” Adam reassured her. “It saved you. It saved mom. Imagine how many more people you can save when you succeed.”“If I succeed,” Lisa said tiredly.“You will succeed,” Adam said with a smile “It is you. You won’t let something as little as a difficulty stop you from achieving something this remarkable. Imagine your name on a plaque with the title “Saviour of the World” on it.Lisa elbowed him gently with a giggle. “Don’t be ridiculous.”“What? I mean it. If you do this, you will save a lot of people. You will be just like a super hero!” he said dramatically.The tiredness on her face lifted as she smiled broadly. “You are silly, but I love y
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 160 - Lofty Dreams
Once the idea had firmed in Adam’s mind, he was like a whirlwind, putting the wheels in motion.By the next day, he was talking to his group about his decision.He had informed the lieutenant about it the night before.As expected, Lt. Matteo disapproves of the plan.“It is a stupid idea to leave this place now, you know. Especially when…”"Your supplies might arrive soon, right?” Adam asked him calmly.The lieutenant’s lips thinned, but he had no comeback from that.“We all know there is no assurance of that. And even if it did arrive,. What next? How long do you think it would last?” Adam asked him reasonably.“I still think this is a rash idea, you know.” Lt. Matteo answered. “Also, I am sure your people will not like it. They have a sort of assurance here. It is better than risking their lives out there for a lofty dream.”“Well, you leave that to me,” Adam had said as he turned to leave.Adam had not gone far before Lt. Matteo called him and asked, “Have you told her?”“Layla?” A
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 161 - The Stupid And The Capable
That was a question that Adam had expected to be asked.Funny enough, John was the first person to ask it.Adam had his plans, but sharing them would mean sharing something more.He looked at the rugged, tall man staring expectantly at him with his earnest, brown eyes.Adam felt like he was someone he could trust with his secret.The shoulder-length-haired man looked like someone who would hardly be surprised by his gift.Still, Adam held on to caution and said, “I was thinking of going to Alagan.”He expected the man to say something since he knew what others' reactions would be to such a suggestion, but John only kept looking at him.Adam had no choice but to continue “So, the plan is to check out cars that are still working. Suck out gas from those that are not. That would help us get out of here,” he completed lamely.“How many of you?” John asked.“I don’t intend to risk my people even before we start the journey. I will go alone. Easier to get in and get out fast that way.”John
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 162 - Dead Aspirations
Layla insisted on coming with Adam.Coincidentally, the person John was taking with him was Maddy.Despite Matteo’s objections, they left for Alagan that evening.They were to take the only car with them to the edge of Alagan, from where they would park, and take the remaining journey by leg.Armed with hoses, screwdrivers, pliers, wire clippers, bats, guns, and Adam’s sword, they left the facility behind.Adam didn’t tell Lisa about his plan to go to Alagan.He knew she would try to talk him out of it, and when she did not succeed at that, she would worry till he came back.Since Adam didn’t want that to affect her research, he decided not to tell her.He told Marriane not to say anything to her as well.“Don’t make me lose another child," was what Marriane said as she saw him off.Adam missed the old Marriane, who would have told him one thousand and one reasons why he shouldn’t go, even as she saw him off.He needed his mom to be fully back to herself.But at the moment, grieving M
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 163 - Weird Lifesaver
Adam noticed something strange about Cochrane and Maddy during their battle with the zombies that met them on the outskirts of Alagan. None of them hesitated as they swung into action and killed the zombies. They counted ten of them. They must have been some of the zombies that walked out of Alagan on their way to the facility. Adam knew if they did not meet them there, they would have to deal with them when they came around the facility. The strange thing he noticed about Cochrane was his strength. It was more than the average of a normal human. The man had crushed a zombie’s head with his two hands bashed against it. It was just like the immense strength Adam had been feeling since the last time the zombies bit him. Though he had never tried to use it in its magnitude, Adam suspected he could probably do the same thing that Cochrane just did. Maddy’s swiftness was more than usual as well. It was as if she could hear and detect the movement of the zombies even before they
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 164 - Twisted Gift
Maddy looked at Layla in question and the latter shrugged."What...?""So this...means of transportation of yours. You have it after or before this started?" John asked."Means of transportation" Adam scoffed at the interesting term John gave the storehouse. Then he answered "I had it after I got bitten by a zombie"The interior of the car was quiet for a while as Maddie and Cochrane looked at each other."We have abilities too," John said."Really?" Layla asked in surprise.Maddy narrowed her gaze at Adam when he didn't say anything "You knew. Didn't you?" Adam didn't deny it "I was hoping you would tell me" he said simply."You sneaky bastard" Maddy said with a hint of smile as she punched his arm "You almost made me shit my pant with that show because you knew we would be forced to tell you about us if we saw what you can do?""It worked, didn't it?" Adam said with a smile of his."I don't like working with people who use tricks," John said in a disgruntled tone."And I don't like
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 165 - I Am The Government
The heavily bearded man with bloodshot eyes was not what Adam would have termed a typical powerful military man.Yet Adam could see the respect with which Lieutenant Matteo was addressing the man.The man was dressed in casual clothes, and there was a droopy stance to his posture when he sat.He had a small stature, and his shoulders were just a little higher than the top of the backrest of the chair he sat on.Yet, when he stood to address them, the unmistakable aura of a man used to protocols and discipline could be felt instantly.Matteo must have explained what Adam and the others intended to do for the man because the first thing he said as Adam and the others entered was, “Gentlemen, I understand that you were thinking of making some irrational decisions. Well, I am afraid I can’t allow that.”Adam felt Layla bristle beside him, yet she held her tongue.Maddy scoffed out loud, and the middle-aged man gave her a mild look before turning back to face the others.“Why?” Adam asked
