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
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 174 - You Are A Walton?
"He wants to speak to you."Everybody turned around to see Matteo extend his phone towards Layla.They had been in training before Matteo's phone rang, and he went out of the ballroom they had been using to train."Who wants to speak with me?" Layla asked breathlessly.She had been sparring with John, and the Irish man was not cutting her any slack at all.Matteo looked bashful as he said, "The general.""Why would I want to speak to that weirdo? He needs someone to save his ass again," she asked with a snort."I think the main question is, why the fuck are you still talking to him?" Adam said as he came closer.His brown tank top was streaked with sweat that glistened on the muscles he was beginning to develop from all the extra training and the painstakingly slow farming procedures they had been trying out over the week.Matteo said, "He called.""And he suddenly wants to speak with me?" Layla asked in surprise. "Well, tell him I am not a fan."There was an inaudible sound from the p
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 175 - Lifelong Friends
"Your dad killed my dad?" Lisa asked Layla as her eyes narrowed dangerously in a way that rivalled Adam's.It was easy to see the resemblance between the two as they stood at the ready, like they were just seconds away from tearing Layla apart."Don't be ridiculous. The two of you should just calm down, okay? My dad did not kill anyone. At least none that I know of," she said with a shrug."But Adam said...""Adam jumped to a conclusion," Layla answered in exasperation as she rolled her eyes at Adam, but Adam's expression didn't change."You are a Walton," he said simply as if that explained everything."Yes, I am a Walton," Layla answered with a sigh. "But not the Walton.""That makes no sense," Adam said."I mean, I am not "the" Walton that you are thinking of. I am not related to that bitch in any way.""You knew each other. You won't explain why, but you two had a relationship.""Not with me. She had a relationship with my stepsister. They were friends, and let's just say we don't
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 176 - Something Stupid
Adam was still reeling from the news that Lisa gave him.He couldn’t believe there might actually be a way to beat this thing!Yes, he had thought of it.Of course, he had imagined what it would be like.He just had not thought of how it would feel to know for sure that it could work.The world could be saved!They might not have to run and hide again!The sickness could be swept away from the land!He could be able to tell Layla how he....Layla!Adam jolted out of his euphoric thoughts as he remembered the call.He had to know what her decision was.Adam went looking for her, but he couldn’t find her anywhere in the house.When he asked others, none of them knew where she was.That worried Adam even more.She wouldn’t… Oh no, she wouldn’t dare leave without saying a word to anyone.Without telling him!Right?The fact that he couldn’t answer that question confidently had Adam’s anxiety spiking.He strode fast towards the front door to check out the cars.The three cars were still th
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 177 - Delusional
She turned to him slowly.Her eyes glistened with tears and grief.Her beauty at that moment seemed to shine beyond anything that he had ever seen.Just as his heart grieved for the amount of pain she must have kept bottled up all these years,.“I have to go,” she said simply.Adam walked to her and enveloped her in a warm embrace.She didn’t stiffen, and neither did she push him back; she simply relaxed into his hold and sighed.“He is my father. I don’t want to, but I have to go,” she said again.Adam had never seen her that pliant before.He had never seen her so feminine before.They stayed like that for a few minutes, then she said, “You won’t try to stop me, will you?”“It is dangerous,” Adam said simply, even as he started thinking.“I can take care of myself,” she said with conviction as she moved away from his embrace.Adam could see the separation on her face.She was going to go anyway, no matter what he had to say.So, he re-strategised and said, “Why don’t we try to get t
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 178 - Extra Attention
“Just make sure you are careful,” Marriane said when Adam informed her about what he was about to do. He had expected more of a protest from her, or at least something more than a monotonous word of advice. She saw his look of surprise and smiled as she turned her full attention on him and set aside the curtains she was washing when Adam came to her. She had stripped them down earlier and insisted on washing them. “More cleanliness, more hope,” she had said. “Were you expecting me to stop you?” Adam shrugged. What was she expecting him to say? Yes, I expect you to tell me not to go? Marriane smiled as if she could hear his thoughts. “It is my duty as a mother to be that selfish. But not anymore. You have more responsibility now. You are a leader, and I am not going to stop you from doing what you think is right. Especially when it has to do with the woman you love.” She paused as if she were expecting him to counter her claim. When Adam said nothing, she moved closer to him
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 179 - If Only
When it was time to leave, everyone saw them off. Even those still working on the well waved their hands at them as they took one of the cars and got ready to leave. Even though Adam had gone through the arrangements they had made over and over again, he still couldn’t help but feel anxiety about leaving everyone behind. His eyes misted over as he looked at Marriane and Lisa. His sister had her left hand on their mother’s shoulder while she waved at him with her right. Marriane was also waving as the car went down the driveway. They both had smiles on their faces, but Adam could see beyond those smiles. They were scared for him, but as if they had come to an agreement, both of them had sent him off with glittering smiles. Layla laid her hand on his hand and said, “You can still go back, you know. All of you. You don’t have to do this.” “And miss all the fun? I had rather poke myself in the eyes,” Maddy responded. "Isn’t that right, Rafe?” She jerked her head towards the robot
