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
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 168 - A Murder?
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
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 170 - Wet Kiss
Adam ended the zombie’s misery as fast as possible.He shot it point blank in the brain with the silencer-fitted gun he had with him.Then they searched the whole building, but there was nothing else.Not even in the basement.The only footpaths and signs of struggle had been between the house and the hay store.After that, nothing else.There was nothing that could give them an answer.Not even the personal belongings of any of the dead men or the zombies.It was as if they were deposited there out of nowhere.After they got rid of the stinking bodies, they had to open up all the windows in order to let fresh air in.They placed the solar lamps in strategic places so that the light from them would not attract any unwanted visitors.Since the mansion was on a rise, it would be easy for any straggling zombies to see any glaring light from those angles.Adam could see that everyone was tired, so he told them all that they would start putting things in place the next day.As for that nig
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 171 - The Asshole I love
They were both breathing heavily when they separated.Adam wanted to say something, but she looked away from him.She lay her head against the door and closed her eyes again.It was the look in her eyes before she turned away that stopped him.A clear look of back off.Though Adam had a lot to say, he simply decided to respect her wishes.What would he have said anyway? He thought to himself as the assurances and promises that had almost tumbled off his tongue infuriated him.He wasn’t even sure that he could keep her and the others safe yet, and he wanted to make promises to her?He scoffed at himself in anger.“What is that about?” she asked suddenly.“Nothing that concerns you,” Adam said a bit more harshly than he had intended.Her eyes flew open, but she still didn’t look at him as she said, “Didn’t seem like none of my business when you had your tongue down my throat seconds ago.”Adam couldn’t believe her.“Oh, I am sorry. I must have missed how much you resisted,” he said sarc
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 172 - No Point in What Ifs
Everyone awoke to their duties the next day.Adam had been unable to sleep, so even after others had taken over the shift, and Layla had gone to sleep, he was up and planning.By the next morning, he was waiting for everyone to gather up.Everyone had to move in groups of twos or threes as they went about the task of checking out the generator, cleaning up the mansion and converting the stables to rooms that could contain people.Some were to go to the town with Adam to check out how bad the situation was at the moment.He wanted to know the extent of what they would have to deal with.He explained his vision to them that morning.And the most important aspect of that was that they had to have a well-manned border at the entrances of Maradoit.That way they could turn people who might want to enter away.The less people, the less zombies they would have to deal with. Adam would have liked that they should erect a wall around the town but at the moment, they would have to make do with
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 173 - Money And Greed
It was getting dark when they got accosted by another set of zombies. After dealing with them, Adam let go of the idea of going to the river that day. They had found more than they bargained for, after all. With the phones, food, and the bag of money with them, they all left for the mansion. They explained everything that happened to those at the mansion. Then Adam brought out the bag of money. Everyone gaped in shock as they saw the bundles of $100,000. They were on $1,000 bills each. And the bundles were 23 in number. Altogether, it was $2,300,000. “I still can’t believe that anybody would be selfish enough to kill others because of money in this kind of situation,” Marriane said sadly. “What would he have used it for? To buy his way from the zombies?” Adam was less concerned about the thoughts of a dead man. He was more concerned about how the same situation would not happen among them. What the man did was an example of the length that men would go to when it came to
