THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 213 - Help Me Go Away
Damn right, he was right! Adam thought in anger.What the hell have they been feeding this girl?“Who told you that?” Adam asked as lightly as he could.“The man who made them take me to that place”Motherfucking Watson.“Oh, I see,” Adam said as he tried to process how to give her the news.Then she said in a dejected voice, “Can you do something for me, please?” “What is that?”“I didn’t want to wake up. I told her but she wouldn’t help me.”“The doctor?” “Yes.” Molly nodded. Then she looked towards the door before she continued, “Please help me.”“Help you with what?” Adam asked in the same conspiratorial whisper she was using at the moment.“Help me take this pain away. Help me go away. I promise not to be a bother,” she said, closing her eyes and blinking back tears before she continued, “I just want to join Gramps, Sister Margaret, and the others. I don’t want to live like this.”Adam couldn’t believe an eighteen-year-old could be talking about suicide so calmly. He wished he
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 214 - Paragon Of Many Virtues
After deflecting Jared’s probing question about his wife, Adam went to join those trying to get all the farming tools still available around the property. After all, any serious farming had stopped on the plantation for a while. He could see that they were able to come up with some. Luckily some of the men were original workers of the land, who had been with Layla’s grandparents before they died in the earthquake that claimed their lives. Most of them had stayed on the property because it was the home they had always known. Even though they took up employment elsewhere, they didn’t leave the property till the apocalypse started followed by Watson’s invasion. So, these men were the reason why they were able to easily know the places where they could get the tools. Still, it was not much. Layla was talking to those who already had experience in farming about taking those who were not under their wings. Then there would be men and women divided into different sections as well so
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 215 - Berry Babies
Carson declared a clean bill of health for Theo, and the doctors confirmed it too.The chemists responsible for the damaging chemicals were all surprised, and they couldn't wait to learn more about the solution that had helped to rectify what they had done.One more reason to get Lisa to Sydney faster.It was a joyous mood on the Samuelson’s property when the announcement was made.Theo presented himself to everyone with a courtly bow.Even Jared looked less sore-faced and his daughter looked on with her perpetual scowl on her face.Adam shook his head in amusement when he saw the reason for the young lady’s constant unhappiness.Maddy.Maddy was gleefully taking her new role of "best friend" too seriously.When Adam asked her earlier why she wouldn't let the girl be. All she said was “I don't trust that little viper. What if I let her out of my sight and she poisoned the water source? Then we would have more problems on our hands than zombies”Adam supposed that made sense.When he a
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 216 - Beyond These Walls
He met her looking up at the ceiling as if she was trying to decipher an answer from it.He knew she heard his approach but she didn't bother to turn around.“How are you doing?” Adam asked.“I am fine. Why wouldn't I be?” she was still looking away.Adam could hear the anger in her voice and he wondered who it was directed at.Well, if she was angry she couldn't be contemplating death, right?“Your grandfather is happy that you are alive,” Adam said cautiously.“Yeah. Lying would do that to people”Ah“What did you tell him?” he asked with no idea if she would answer that or not.But then she answered.“I told him I was treated well while they made me wait for him. He bought it. I didn't tell him that they told me he was dead. Everyone is happy”Really?“Does that everyone includes you though?” She went silent. Then “Why wouldn't I be?”“Right. Why not?” Adam said. Then “I am going away for a few days”Her head jerked towards him as she said with a little life in her voice “Can I co
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 217 - Typical Teenager
The journey to Maradoit was uneventful.Adam was happy to see everyone again.Things were going smoothly and the first crops they planted had started germinating.Sophia’s mood seemed to have improved and she even greeted Adam cordially.Adam was glad to hear that she was also training now and that she had even joined the scavenging team.Though they had informed him earlier on the phone, Adam was glad to see that for himself.He and Theo got to the mansion just as the team came in with what they could get for the day.One of them was injured while they were running but none of them were taken down.At least not that day.Two people had died since Adam left.Adam went to the graves dug for them in the section they set aside for things like that.One of them was called Aaron, a young man of 19 years old that Adam had only had the chance to speak to a few times.And it had always been in general.Adam realised that Jeremy and the guy had gotten closer before the boy’s death.In fact, th
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 218 - Libido-Saving Venture
Adam wondered if he should speak to Jeremy about what Shelby said.Then he eventually dismissed the thought.What would be the point anyway? He wondered.The boy in question was already dead, and there was no point in causing Jeremy more distress.So as he went back to the house, he gathered everyone together in time for Jeremy to be able to talk to them.When Jeremy did not come on time and he realised that he still had fourteen minutes before the thirty-minute duration would be over, Adam used that opportunity to talk to everyone.He explained what they were trying to work on to everyone and they were so happy about the fact that something like that could be achieved.They marvelled at the way Emir and his men had come through and those with little background in science tried to guess what the chemical used for that latent spray was.They were still talking when Jeremy hesitantly walked in.He was startled at first when he saw everyone gathered together.Then he threw Adam a gratefu
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 219 - Nurturing Streak
Adam didn’t have to do much convincing.Although Marriane admitted that she would have preferred that she had at least one of them with her, she agreed that their separation was for the betterment of everyone.She would have loved to come with them, but she was more like the housekeeper of Trent’s house now; she oversaw most things like the kitchen activities, the pond routine, and housekeeping.Most people look to her for succor and advice too and she was always the first person anyone would go to when something was needed in the house.“Coming with you would be a selfish thing to do,” she responded when Adam asked if she would like to come with them.“At least, I would have Yoshi here with me,” she said after Adam told her that he would be taking Jeremy with him.So that evening, after those on the lookout had gathered to kill a lone zombie that had strayed that far, Adam and his entourage gathered for takeoff.Lisa’s tools and other luggage had been packed earlier.Adam watched his
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 220 - Nasty Surprise
Adam gave Jeremy some fruit juice and then a bag of cheese crackers after he woke up.They had landed by this time.In fact, Adam suspected the jolt of the plane landing on the uneven ground helped to wake Jeremy faster than the reviving techniques they had been trying on him.Just as the turbulence had made him faint,."I didn't peg you for a scaredy-cat.” Adam teased Jeremy as he sucked down the 500 ml of fruit juice.“I am not,” Jeremy said emphatically.“Hello? Are you forgetting something?” Adam teased further as he watched colour return to his face.“It was because of my low sugar level,” Jeremy said belligerently.“I recall you took some glucose before we took off,” Adam persisted. “What happened to that?”“Well, I…”“Leave him alone, you big bully,” Lisa admonished Adam when Jeremy’s cheeks coloured further with embarrassment.“Me? I did nothing,” Adam said in innocence.“Yeah, right. Go away,” Lisa said.“Yes, ma’am. I am gone,” Adam said with a grin.Then he grew serious, as
