THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 38 - A Better Fate
Adam was so dazed by what he saw that he didn’t protest when one of the men hit him with the butt of the gun when he was hesitating too long.As if it were by design, he fell right on top of the extended lever.Jeremy was ordered to lie right on top of him.By the time Adam understood what they meant, the jittery Jeremy was lying on top of him.His back was to Adam’s front.The switch was pressed again and the lever rose swiftly up the cubicle. Then it got sucked into the cubicle as suddenly as it had come out initially.As if they knew the routine already, the people in the cubicle moved away from the middle of the room.Adam and Jeremy got unceremoniously dumped into the middle of the room. The men who led them in left the room without a backward glance. Anger stirred in Adam at the brutal treatment. Jeremy shivered as he quickly stood up from where he landed. He held his bruised elbow as he looked straight at the agitated zombies despite Adam’s warning. The young lady in the
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 39 - Qualify For The Test
Adam was anticipating it. He was expecting the men to press the button that would make the lever materialise again. Instead, the one in the lead only gave him a deathly stare. Then he told the bleeding man to stop his noise. After which, he turned away and left. Followed by the two others.Adam could see the surprise on the faces of everyone there. Even the lady with the faraway look on her face turned her head to look at him again. The wonder they felt showed on their faces. Adam doubted that was the last he would hear of what he had done though. He could see that Jeremy was calming down as he ate the banana. Adam threw caution to the wind and he brought out two bags of raisin and roasted peanuts. “Have some” he said to the boy. Then he sat beside Jeremy and calmly ate the raisin as if he couldn’t see the look of surprise on the faces of those around. After a few seconds of silence, the lady who was facing the wall earlier turned to Adam and asked, “Can I have some?" A
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 40 - Beyond Unexpected
Adam looked warily at the sleeping people around him. Lisa hurried out of the room immediately after one of the guards shouted at her to wrap up what she was doing, or they would do it for her. A few seconds later, the breeze that Adam had noted earlier in the cubicle turned colder. Then, within a twinkle of an eye, those around him started falling asleep. First, it was the injured man. Then, Clint. Ray simply hung his head and slept off. The couple hugged themselves to sleep. Then the green-eyed lady followed suit. Adam couldn’t believe what had happened. He was sure of one thing, though. The sleep was not natural. He was sure that it must have something to do with the chilly draft of air. He shook Jeremy lightly, but the latter simply mumbled in his sleep and slept off again. Adam knew he had to get out of the cubicle. He had to get out now! Though Lisa had informed him that he should wait, he knew he couldn’t wait any longer. Did Lisa know that they were drugging t
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 41 - Once Upon An Asshole
Adam quickly shut his eyes but it was a moment too late. The masked man’s eyes met with his before he shut his eyes. It was the same man who had almost caught him the first time. Adam was ready for all hell to let loose. He was ready to pull out the sword if they dared to come towards him. He would fight and do anything to save himself. Anything at all to ensure that he did not end up the way Ray had. He was so engrossed in hs anticipaton that it took him a while to realise that the men were filing out of the room. They were not coming towards him. The masked man had not said anything! Adam was sure now that the man had seen him the first time too. Why would he let him go? A high-pitched sound came from the zombies cubicle as Ray turned. Chunk of shredded flesh hanging out of its face and body, it rose in a distorted form. Knocking back some of the zombies. It launched itself hard against the reinforced glass. Its eyes were pinned on Adam’s from the other side. It hit
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 42 - The Blast
The people sleeping started waking up before Adam could get over his shock. The sword stood stuck in the glass wall, wiggling as if it was expecting Adam to take action. “What the hell?” Adam heard behind him as he reached out to touch the sword. The sword wiggled in his hand and slid down, pulling Adam with it. There was a clean slit in the glass and true fresh air swept in through the hole, unlike the doctored oxygen that had been filtering into the cubicle since they were locked in. “What the hell is going on?” Clint shouted all of a sudden as he looked across the cubicle and saw Ray snarling and grunting with the other zombies. “Keep your mouth shut unless you want them to come back and do the same to you” Adam whispered urgently. He could hear shocked gasps behind him as the others' attention were caught by what Clint had seen. “Those fuckers did this to us while we were asleep, didn’t they? I told you our sleeping pattern is not normal!” It was the first time Morris ha
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 43 - A Bag Of Surprises
The daring lady was the first to raise her hand. She stepped forward with a grin on her face. “I can. My mom taught me.” Adam was sceptical about her confidence but she seemed to be sure of herself. “What is your name?” he asked automatically. “Layla,” she said simply. “Layla, you had better be certain that your skill is as sure as your word because it seems you are the only one among us who has it” “What? You can’t shoot?” she asked in surprise. “He can’t shoot” Clint snorted in disgust. “Can you, idiot?” Adam asked testily. Clint looked away with a twist of his mouth. “Damn, you all are…okay, we need to rectify that,” Layla said as she stepped forward and took the gun from Adam. She winked at him and said, “Do you have more of this in that gizmo of yours?” Adam simply reached into the orb and brought out the revolver. “Whew, you are a bag of surprises,” she said with a grin as she collected the revolver from him and tested the weight. “So, handling a gun is just like
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 44 - Of No Consequence
Adam could feel the moment he stepped into the centre. His sharpened hearing could pick the difference in the vibrations of the whole centre. It was as if the whole centre held its breath in anticipation. Footsteps resounded down the hallway. Then Adam heard a trembling voice from afar “I am sorry, young master. I thought it would work this time around. I…please give me another chance to try again” The sound of something being dragged across the centre got closer seconds before the door crashed inward. “Young master, please. I…” A grunt followed as Carson was thrown hard against the floor. He hit his face against the floor so hard that blood trailed from his mouth as he raised his head. His wrinkled, white coat was stained with a spot of blood and his face looked like it had received a couple of punches already. “Asshole” Adam heard Layla muttered under her breath. He had no idea if she was referring to Carson or the young man who walked casually to Carson and turned him ov
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 45 - Your Royal Bullshit
“Do you know who I am?" “You are going to regret this." “My father would have you killed!" “You…!” “You are going to die when I “mistakenly” pull this trigger, your royal bullshit." Layla said this in a drawl as she fixed the gun more tightly against his head.Then she looked at Adam through the rearview mirror “I still say we should kill him.” “Don’t even think about it,” Adam said without substance as he navigated the roads leading away from the university.“I am bleeding to death, you morons!” the young master said through gritted teeth.“That would be a mercy for you, fuckhead. Wouldn’t it?” Layla said as she winked at Nina.It had been a tricky, daring adventure, but they had been able to get out of the university.All it took was to take the young master as a hostage.Adam had ordered that the university gates should be opened on all ends.When the men hesitated, he rammed the butt of the gun into the young master’s stomach.The latter ordered his men to do as Adam said.A
