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
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 166 - Lesson Learnt? Certainly Not
When the brigadier general saw that Lt. Matteo hadn’t moved yet,He turned to him with a furious look and said, “Lieutenant, you have your order already!”“Sir…”“I wonder who is really delusional between you and me, brigadier general,” Adam said in a mocking tone. “So, you really believe that I would beg? Beg you? What for?” Adam said as he heard Maddy chuckle behind him.As fast as lightning, the brigadier general’s hand jerked towards Adam’s face in a fist.“Watch out!”“Asshole!”Layla and Maddy called out consecutively.But their warning was unnecessary, as Adam had heard the rush of air that accompanied the man’s fist even before it moved towards him.As fast as the fist came, Adam quickly countered it with his palm.The hard punch made his hand smart painfully, but still, he fuelled his anger with the pain as he used the simmering strength he had been feeling to hold the man’s fist in a tight grip.He saw the shock and sign of pain in the man’s eyes in the split second before h
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 167 - Vestige Of Guilt
Adam jolted as the sword crashed beside him.He swore that thing would give him a heart attack one day.He cautiously raised his head and saw everyone gaping at him.No, it was more that they were gaping at the sword he bent to pick.Everyone who had gone out to wait for him quickly rushed back to see the aftermath of the gunshot and shattering sound they heard.“Adam, are you okay?” Lisa asked anxiously.Adam turned to them and nodded.The look of enormous relief on Layla’s face was unmistakable.That was when Adam got a better look at the general.He was not only gaping.He was bleeding as well.There were about seven shallow holes drilled in his cheeks, arms, thighs, and one of his shoulders.Even as blood dripped to the floor, Adam’s sharp eyes could see the black pellets that were embedded in each of those bloody holes.No wonder they were all looking at the sword.“You shot at me?!” he asked, even though he knew the answer.The sword would only act like that when there was a dir

Beeping signals flashed as they got closer to Maradoit. They had run out of gas. Adam told everyone to calm down, and he went to the front to meet Matteo and his co-pilot, Zacchaeus When he asked how long they had before the engines shut off, Raphael was the one who answered. “Five minutes” Matteo nodded. “Then what next?” “We will have to switch to glide,” Zachaeus responded. “Can you land it while it is in glide?” Adam asked Matteo. “Yes, I can. It will be a rough landing but I can.” “How many minutes to Maradoit?” “Twenty minutes” “Can the airplane stay in the air for that long after it runs out of fuel?” “Yes, it can,” Matteo responded. “Then I had better tell everyone to brace themselves,” Adam said. And that was what he did. He explained everything in detail to everyone and answered their questions too. Soon enough, they were in Maradoit. The jarring way the plane hit the runway had them all holding on to something for safety. The same sound alerted the zombies
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 169 - Deja Vu
Adam told some of the men to clean up the dead bodies.Since they were smelling already and their skin was already peeling off when someone tried to lift them.Adam suggested they add them to the pile of zombies outside.That way, they could burn the pile at once."We have tempted fate enough" he added.Referring to the fact that they had been lucky not to have seen any beast yet.It wouldn't do to deliberately invite them by leaving bodies everywhere in the open.Especially since they do not know if the beasts were only around Alagan or if the effect that produced them had spread as far as Maradoit.Nothing could be taken for granted.So, as the men got started with the gruesome task of carting the bodies away, Adam collected the key from John.After confirming with Ryan that it was the same key and that he was sure that he kept the key on the hook and nowhere else; Adam went to the stable building to see if it had been tampered with.He wanted to go alone but the worried look on Mar
