THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 191 - Infected Fucker
The scene Adam met was far from what he was expecting. The scream was coming from Gwen, who wound herself like a vine around Maddy’s legs. Jared was blocking the door to a small room. Behind the door, a growling sound was coming out. “What the hell is going on here?” Adam asked aloud, and they all turned to him. The men whom Adam had sent to watch over Jared and his family were standing to one side with indecision on their faces. “Here comes another murderer!” Gwen screeched. Her hair updo had tumbled down, and strands of her brown hair were over her sweaty face. “Thank God you are here, Adam,” Maddy said as she tried to pull her leg free of Gwen’s tight hold once again. The latter held on like her life depended on it. “What are you even doing here, Maddy?” Adam asked in confusion. “I was trying to do the necessary, but these two wouldn’t let me. Can you hear that sound? She has turned!” The growling sound had stopped before, but when Maddy said that last statement, the sou
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 192 - Friends Close, Enemies Closer
Carson couldn’t determine what exactly was wrong with Patricia immediately.He took some blood samples from her and promised Adam that he would have an answer soon.In the meantime, Adam forbade Jared and Gwen from going anywhere close to Patricia.It was when he threatened to kill her immediately after he saw either of them around her that the father-daughter duo hastily agreed not to go anywhere near her.That meant one thing: Layla had to be convinced to let the two back in the house until there was a decision to be made about Patricia.Layla was having none of it.“No! I don’t want either of them in this house,” she said adamantly when Adam told her of the recent development.Theo had been unable to do anything about Ralph.Though Ralph had some self-repairing properties, it was not enough for the type of damage that had been inflicted on him.To even be able to get it to power on at all, Theo needed an electromagnetic part that can only be gotten at a robotics company.The closes
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 193 - A Good Steal
Adam quelled the disappointment he felt when nobody picked up on the other end. He was about to redial the number again when he changed his mind. “What did you expect?” he thought to himself as he continued on his walk. He doubted that the man was even still alive to this day. The sickness had swept through the land globally like a wildfire, after all. He wondered what it must be like in an opulent country like Kuwait. He wondered what things must be like in rural areas. Adam wondered how bad things must be in less-privileged countries. Then he smiled at himself at the thought. Less-priviledge indeed. “If only zombies got the manual. Hey there, these countries are less privileged, so deal kindly with them. Or, oh wait, this particular country is known as the world giant, so please tread carefully. Will you?” He let out a low chuckle at his own silly rambling. “Please, tell me you are not going crazy,” Adam heard just as he turned around at the sound of approaching footsteps
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 194 - An Alternative
“We need to talk,” Adam told Layla as they walked back to the house. Maddy had chosen to stay out a bit longer. Layla gave him a sheepish look as she turned to him. “Yes, I know. I have been thinking of how to bring it up.” “You have?” Adam asked in surprise. “Yes. look…” Layla stopped and turned to face him. “I am sorry for dumping all that on you the other time. I know it was too sudden, and you were not expecting it. Thanks for backing me up. Thank God, it is not necessary again now.” “Yeah, thank God,” Adam said as he wondered what she was talking about. “You think so too, right?” she asked with a plastic smile on her face. “Yes, I...wait. Hold on, what are you talking about? I am talking about this place. What do you intend to do with it?” “Oh, that?” Layla said as she continued walking. Adam realised what she meant just at that moment. “Oh, you…You were talking about asking me to marry you? I thought that was a done deal,” he said in a serious tone. “What?!” Layla ask
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 195 - Underground Clinic
Behind what appeared to be an ordinary wine cellar was a basement that was about as wide as several halls joined together.As Adam followed Layla in, the hum of activities and conversation lulled as the doctors inside nodded at Layla, then they turned back to their work.There were about eight rooms there altogether.They went from room to room.Some men were strapped to their beds while others were being tested for God-knows-what.When Adam couldn’t keep his questions in again, he turned to Layla. “How…?”Layla inclined her head to tell him later.The underground clinic was fitted with the best of technology and Adam could even see blinking camera lights and motion-detecting doors.After a while, they left, and Layla sealed the door again.“Okay, how on earth is all that being powered? Since when?”“It has been powered by solar. Same thing as the house.There are rows of 500W, ground-mounted panels at the back. Watson engineered all that. Theo showed me the other time.” “I am beginni
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 196 - Afraid Of Hope
Adam was on his way to the virology center at dawn when he saw Theo coming from the direction of the stream.The man had a local gun hefted over his shoulder and a rabbit in his hand.“You shot that?” Adam called to him in greeting.The man looked up at him and answered “Nahw” in the rarely-spoken Essex accent. “This was caught in the snare.”“The snare?” Adam asked in confusion as he saw the blood matted in front of the big rabbit.“It is a type of trap used here. There used to be a lot of games around here. Old man Reuben never had any interest in killing them for food, so they ran free in the land. Less of them now but then, we still get lucky from time to time.”Adam nodded as he thought of the fact that his decision to help this man was right after all.In this crucial time, more men like him would be really needed.There was a reason why he stopped the man before: “Layla told me about the spray of the perimeter.”Thomas’s lips tightened a bit as he spoke, expressionless. “Yes, t
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 197 - Revolutionary Break
“And the good?”Thoughtfully, Adam asked Carson after he had explained what hybrid meant to him.“The solution you brought is really unique. I have not checked all its possibilities but I tested it with the samples we have." Carson shook his head as he continued, “It is incredible. It is unbelievable. It worked. I can't believe one of Dr. Blair's students did this. This could be a revolutionary break.”When he didn’t see any surprise and expected excitement on Adam’s face, he said, “I suppose you already know.”Adam nodded as he started pacing. “Yes, I did. I just want you to confirm it.” He stopped pacing and turned to Carson.“So you think it can be mass produced?”“Yes, yes, it can,” Carson said excitedly.“Do you think we have enough to use?”Carson’s expression turned thoughtful, then he said, “Not so much at the moment.” Then, as a thought came to him, he said excitedly, “If we are able to get the resources they are using in the house, then we can do more.”“Using where?” Adam a
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 198 - Good Dead Friend
“She is infected,” Adam said, even before Jared could ask. “No,” the latter said automatically as he shook his head. “Yes, I would lie about that,” Adam said sarcastically. “No, I don’t mean you are lying. I just... please don’t kill her.” “Why not? She is a threat to us all. Unless you want to be her first victim, tell me why I shouldn’t shoot her right in the middle of her eyes.” Adam had no remorse at all for the man’s pain. In fact, he wanted him to feel as much pain as he could. Maybe then he might have an idea of what he had put his daughter through. Also, he had a plan. The Watsons are users; why not turn their style right back on them? “Please, don’t do that." Jared said it in a mournful tone. "Gwen, it will kill...” “I'm still not hearing a reason,” Adam said dispassionately and he made a move to leave. “The virologist! I am sure he can come up with something that could cure her.” "Oh, you mean the man you and your buddy would have probably killed yesterday or put
