THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 204 - Lord And Serf
“I am sorry,” Jared said again.Adam knew the man was not as remorseful as he was pretending to be. He just wanted Adam to do what he wanted.Jared looked up at him and said, “Okay, what about this? You all wanted us gone anyway. If you think she would be a threat to you all, you can let me have her. I have my car here. I can take her back to...take her away from here. She is my wife and you can’t just expect me to let you kill her like that.”“And someone else is your daughter but you don’t mind that your buddy would have killed her. Wow, real smooth, Watson. Real smooth”“I…”“I am not interested. I like your offer.”“You…you do?”"Dad!” Gwen protested with a whimper. “She already said we can stay.”Layla already spoke to them? Well, it doesn’t matter.Adam could see that the man had initially said what he said because he was expecting Adam to counter him.The coward had no intention of leaving, especially now that he had no human buffer to shield him and his precious family.Adam
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 205 - More Bark Than Bite
Patricia was a mess.Little of the uptight, well-groomed woman Adam had seen earlier was left in the new Patricia.She looked worse than she was the last time Adam saw her.Adam had to send Jared out after he tried twice to get close to her.Adam also had to steel his heart and remind himself of the kind of people they were in order not to feel sorry for them.Though it was barely audible, even Adam could hear the gttural, rumbling call of Jared’s name as Patricia pinned her gaze to him immediately as they entered.It was as if she was calling for help.The bloodshot eyes and black saliva dripping from the woman he had held in his arms seemed too much for Jared to bear.Adam felt for him for a second.Then he sent him out with explicit instructions for the men at the door that they shouldn’t let him back in.“Well, Patricia. Carson seems to think you are special. Are you going to prove him right or wrong?”Adam kept his gaze on her red-rimmed eyes as he spoke, just to gauge her reacti
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 206 - Undead Wife
Carson and his team were waiting to take Patricia in.Jared made an attempt to follow them into the facility but a look from Adam was enough to stop him.His daughter was not as sensitive as her father, of course.She cried, screamed, and cursed as they were taking her mother away.Maddy was glad to do everyone a favour by shutting her up.With a sharp slap to the face that made a resounding cracking sound that shut Gwen up fast enough, she smiled and declared loudly, “We are going to be best friends.”No one gave the spoilt brat a second look, where she crumpled with a sharp yelp.Her father was too busy staring after his unconscious, undead wife.Those who had stopped to watch the entire thing unfold got back to training and their activities.Soon enough, those training dispersed, and Adam talked to them again.They made arrangements to secure all the perimeters of the property as best as they could.Adam had another meeting with the chemists who were working on the destructive chem
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 207 - Objects Of Interest
With bated breaths and apprehension, everyone was on alert.The men with the silencer-fitted guns were ready to shoot once the zombies got too close.Those with clubs and various other fighting tools were ready to strike as well.Contrary to the people’s thoughts at first, the airplanes were not heading straight for the house.Oh, they came a bit close to it but not too close.Then they started descending.Adam, who was quietly on his way to join the men at the treehouse at this time, gauged the area where the aeroplanes were descending to be around the area where they landed the helicopter when they first arrived.The zombies were coming closer now, snarling nastily as it seemed they were increasing in numbers."It is going to be a tough one if they head for the house instead." Adam thought in anxiety.Just as he climbed up the treehouse stairway while crouching to keep out of sight, he realised that the zombies were totally ignoring the house.He opened the door to meet the wide-eye
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 208 - Bonfire Friends
It was like an inferno.He could see the zombies trying to disperse like headless chickens.Each of them had consuming flames on them.The fire was making no sound and Adam was sure that nobody had lit a match from the aeroplane.Yet it was burning furiously.Adam had never seen the magnitude of such a fire before.His phone rang and he picked it up.“Is everyone okay?” he asked automatically.“Yes, all is well here. Did you see that? They fired up those monsters.” Layla said it with a bit of excitement in her voice.“Not your regular fire, I can assure you,” Adam muttered almost to himself. “Then he said, “Make sure nobody gets it in their head to explore. What caused that fire could have an adverse effect.”“Oh, they are not going anywhere.”At this point, Adam’s mind was hardly on the zombies, who were screeching and groaning in pain as they breathed their last.It focused more on the occupants of the aeroplanes.“Where the hell did they go? Did they leave?”Two minutes passed and
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 209 - National Secret
The familiar agal on the man’s head pricked Adam’s memory.Same as the impeccably white ankle-length robe that made it seem like the man was coming from a different planet.To think someone could find the time and luxury to dress impeccably in such a situation was beyond Adam.All recognition ended with the shawl-like clothing on the man’s head that the black, double-roped agal was holding in place, though.Adam still couldn’t recognise the man.He was sure of one thing, though: unless Ameer had done plastic surgery, the man in front of him was not the haughty man who had almost killed him in Maradoit.Yes, they dress the same way. Well, at least Adam felt all Arab men traditionally dressed the same way.“See there. I see the confusion. I am hurt, though but it is fine. I am Ilyas,” the man said in amusement as he saw the blank look on Adam's face.“Il…Ilyas!” Adam said it a bit loudly as it finally dawned on him. Ilyas was the head bodyguard for Ameer.At least that was what Adam ha
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 210 - Lucky Day
“Why didn’t you say something?” “Because I didn’t want everyone to be disappointed if it didn’t work out.”“That makes sense,” Layla answered. Then, “Still, you could have told me. At least then I would have been prepared, instead of gaping like a fool.”Adam lowered his head to look at her.Her face was impassive as she looked back at him and Adam couldn’t read her.“Are you angry?” he asked, just to be sure.“No, I am not,” Layla said automatically. “I would have loved to know beforehand, though. No secrets, remember?”“Yes,” Adam answered. “I am sorry,” he said before he kissed her.She yielded to the kiss, and they stayed locked together for a moment before she opened her eyes, and looked back at the sky where they had been gazing earlier before she spoke.“They are gone,” she said against Adam’s lips.Adam moved back from her embrace and turned so that he could see the sky as well.“So they are. And it seemed we wouldn’t be having any company soon,” he said as he listened as far
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 211 - Benefit of Seperation
The lack of a suitable means of transportation was the main reason why Adam had been ignoring the urge to go back to check on his people in Maradoit.But now that there was a fully-fueled airplane, Adam knew he couldn’t ignore the urge anymore.Though he was in touch with them every day and they kept him on board with everything going on, Adam needed to see his family.He also needed to bring Lisa to Sydney.Now that he and Layla had decided that it would be better to leave the centre right where it was instead of packing things up and moving.After he had meetings with everyone that afternoon where they discussed how they would get started on tilling the land and choosing the appropriate seeds for the season, Adam knew that things around here could run for a while even without his presence.Moreover, he suspected that Layla would rather stay in Sydney than come with him to Maradoit for a return trip.Though they hadn’t discussed it, as he saw her settle comfortably into the role of b
