THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 30 - A Baby?
“Oh fuck it!" Adam swore under his breath, some paces away from Jeremy. Then he reversed. “Get in. and I don’t want to hear a thing from you!” He snapped when Jeremy wanted to talk. “You want an adventure, yeah? Well, you are about to get one!” Adam said. He had briefly thought of taking Jeremy back to Maradoit, but the thought of his mother’s health and his sisters’ safety made him let go of the thought. The boy would need to learn how to survive eventually. He might as well start now. Adam just hoped he wouldn’t end up getting the both of them killed. Adam lifted the Jeep over a fallen car with a bloodied car seat. “Oh, cool” Jeremy breathed in excitement. “How did you…” Adam turned his “What did I say” gaze on Jeremy and the latter shut his mouth immediately. Adam almost missed it. Just as he was lowering the car down, he saw a pharmacy from the corner of his eyes. He quickly slowed down. “Why…why are you slowing down?” Jeremy asked immediately. “You know...you are n
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 31 - Blade's Fury
Adam stepped over the zombie as the crystal core disappeared.The Katana sang its deadly tune, and Adam sank it deep into the neck of one of the zombies he had seen in the doorway.He wondered briefly where the other had gone, but he couldn’t dwell for long on that.He took a step in the direction where the baby’s shrieks had increased.He needed to shut that baby up before it got all of them killed.“Get the fuck away from me!" Another shout from outside got Adam’s attention.That boy!Adam swore in anger as he changed direction again.He now knew why the other zombie had not come for him.It had turned back and joined five other zombies that had surrounded the Jeep.They were hitting the glass in an attempt to get to Jeremy.When that didn't work, they started pushing hard at the car as if to topple it over.A smaller car would have been rocked by their desperate push.Adam didn't want to risk finding out if the Jeep could hold either.Yet the boy kept shouting, “Get the fuck away
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 32 - Resisting Arrest
Adam came across his first semblance of order after crossing the Milwaukee border.Jeremy had narrowly missed being bitten by a persistent zombie who hung on to the car door.Jeremy had thought it was a good idea to get down to help Adam when he got mobbed by zombies while he was trying to fill the storehouse with dry fruits from the fruit market.The zombies thought otherwise.Adam had to rescue the boy from getting killed.Then the fat zombie clung to the car door.Adam couldn’t stop the car as he told Jeremy to shake off the zombie.“He wouldn’t let go!” Jeremy shouted in fear as the zombie snarled at him through the glass.The half-opened window was the only thing separating the zombie from Jeremy.It clung hard to the car, even as Jeremy tried over and over to pin the car door firmly against its hand so it would let go.The zombie’s veined, gray eyes bulged as the car picked up speed, and its legs dragged after the car.Still, it did not let go.Hand pinned against the door.Bloo
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 33 - Best Time To Do That
“Criminal”“How can he do something like that?”“Do you see the bloodstains on his clothes? He must have been doing this for so long.”Adam hardly took note of the whispers of the people in the cars as he wondered what had happened to Jeremy.“Jere…” His attempt to take a step towards the boy was hindered by another fist strike to his face.“Stay away from him, murderer!” the officer who had accused him shouted as he went over to where Jeremy was lying on the hard, dirt-packed ground.He used the nose of his hard boot to nudge Jeremy.“Hey, boy! Get up!”“He has fainted, you bastard!” Adam shouted in frustration.As he saw the boy lying there, unmoving, all he could remember was Old Larry’s dying face and the promise he had made.“He needs to get to the hospital! Help him!” Adam shouted agitatedly as he tried to remove his hands from the handcuff.“And who said you could raise your voice at us, criminal?” Another officer said, with a sneer.The officer raised his hand to hit Adam aga
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 34 - Lost Hope Renewed
“I will get us killed for sure.” Jeremy muttered for the umpteenth time as he concentrated hard on the road. He bit down on his lips as he turned the steering wheel the way Adam had shown him. “Better you do it than for the zombies to get us,” Adam said in a muffled tone as he scooped out a handful of raisins from its bag and tossed them in his mouth. He munched it fast and turned to see Jeremy give him a sceptical look. Jeremy turned his head away fast when he saw that Adam was looking at him. “What?” Adam asked impatiently. “You wouldn’t tell me how you brought out so much food? I saw that you did not bring it out from the backpack," Jeremy said hesitantly. He kept his eyes on the road as he turned the steering wheel again. He turned his body in the direction he was turning the steering wheel, as if that would help him steer better. “You are not dead, are you?” Adam said shortly before he leaned over and used one hand to help Jeremy guide the car back onto the road. The ca
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 35 - A One-Time Thing
Adam felt like a newborn. As Jeremy stared at him with shock, Adam stepped out of the car. The iconic Cobb gate seemed to stare right back at him with interest as Adam took in the beautiful intricacies of the ivy draped elegantly over the gate structure like a lover embracing his beloved. Adam was surprised by how many details he could pick out. He could see the soldier ant weaving its way among the teeth of one of the gargoyles at the entrance. The soldier ant went on unbothered, as if daring the gargoyle to snap its opened mouth shut. Sounds from afar resounded in Adam’s ears, like he was standing right in the middle of those making the sounds. He could hear Jeremy’s heartbeat, though the boy was still in the car. That was how Adam knew that even though the university seemed deserted, there were people inside. The building smelled of life. “Smelled of life?” Adam was shocked by the weird feeling. He wondered how he had known what he knew. How does a building smell like li
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 36 - Beauty And Despair
“I think there is a misunderstanding here.” Adam ventured to say, minutes after the men kept marching them through halls without stopping. The men did not answer. The one that had the gun to Jeremy’s head simply corked the gun and sent Adam a meaningful look. Adam got the message, and he quickly shut his mouth as he sent Jeremy a reassured look. The boy looks terrified. Adam couldn’t blame him. He also couldn’t believe what was going on. What on earth were gunmen doing on a campus ranked as one of the safest in the world? Adam could remember the first time he had been in the school. It was when Nina and Lisa won the merit scholarship that the school offered. Adam’s family was still a bit well off back then, but even they couldn’t afford the rates of a school like UChicago. The twins had been on top of the world when they got selected for a full scholarship at the school. The whole family had come to see them off on their first day of school. Adam could remember the happi
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 37 - Your Worst Nightmare
Adam followed Carson down the hallway. He did not bother to look back since he would only be prodded by the butt of the gun anyway. Yet, all around him, he could see people dressed like Carson working on one thing or another. He saw a man pouring a green liquid into a vial while three others monitored its properties from a machine that was attached to the bottom of the vial. Adam would give anything to have an answer at that moment, and he knew that Carson could give him answers. All he needed to do was get to talk to the man alone at a place where the gunmen couldn’t threaten the old man. The question was where. Adam was jolted out of his thoughts when Jeremy gasped beside him and suddenly stopped moving. “Wha…” Adam didn’t need to complete his question as he looked to the side where Jeremy’s gaze was focused. The unmistakable snarls and growls reached his ears, even as he saw the nightmare that awaited them. In a big room with an embossed plaque atop it that reads “PPE ST
