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
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 199 - Molly's Misfortune
“Who the fuck is...?”Adam grabbed the naked man by the throat and slammed him hard against the wall of the treehouse.The treehouse rocked dangerously as Adam dragged the choking man outside the door, knocking Jared out of the way.Without hesitation, he threw the bastard on the floor.Scared and alarmed, the latter tried to drag air into his crushed windpipe as he wheezed. “What are you...?”A swift swing of Adam’s sword silenced him forever.Jared yelled as the man’s blood splashed on him where he fell.Adam was already turning to the door when the man who was still pumping himself into Molly earlier came stumbling through the door with a match in his hand.Adam sliced off the hand holding the matchet, then promptly grabbed him by the neck and slammed his head through the wood of the wall.The tree house groaned painfully and shook with the impact of the strike.Without hesitation, Adam beheaded the man, leaving the head stuck in the wood while the bloody body thumped to the floor,
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 200 - To Kill, To Live
Adam made a quick detour to the basement chemical station slash clinic.He told the chemists to put a stop to what they were doing.They were all reluctant at first but then his brisk manner made them realise that he was not a man they would want to cross paths with.He gave them new instructions before he left them with their mixing and measuring.Just as he came outside, he saw Gwen and her blood-spattered dad talking as he came outside.She hurried to him and asked, “Daddy told me what happened. It wasn’t daddy’s fault. Would you take it out on us? On mum?”Adam raised his voice so Jared could hear as he said, “Then I suppose your dad should have told you that asking stupid questions like that could get you killed faster than any other thing.”With that, Adam left them behind as he went to search for the men to have a discussion with them.He told Theo to get them together and they were all together in no time at all.Adam didn’t waste time explaining the situation to them.He aske
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 201 - Precarious Shrew
“About that cure...”Adam heard some of the men laugh, and he also smiled as well.Even though some of them ribbed the man good-naturedly, Adam could see that they were very interested in the answer to that question.So he answered it truthfully.“We have to use this on one of you at least to be certain it would do the same thing for you just as it did for my mom. A doctor would test that person after administering. Then we would need to do mass production so it would go around.”“Aye”“Good”“Hope at last.”The men spoke over themselves and genuine smiles showed on their faces as some of them thumped themselves on their backs as they went on their way.“Thank you,” the one-eared man said with a vigorous nod before he hurried after the rest.Their joy and obvious relief only weighed on Adam.He hoped the solution would work just as well as it should.If not, they were going to be so disappointed.“The test. That was what you wanted to do with me,” Theo said as he moved closer to Adam.
