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
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 46 - No Place To Go
Lisa and Nina slept for the rest of the journey.With Lisa’s head on Nina’s shoulder, the twins held each other tightly even in sleep, as if they still couldn’t believe that they were finally safe.Jeremy was with them at the back, staring into space when he was not looking out of the window.“I still think you shouldn’t have shot him!” Adam said it with an exasperated sigh.“Relax,” Layla said with a grin.Then, in a swift change of mood, she added, “He deserved it. Dr. Saman was a good man.” The way she said it made Adam look over at her.He wondered if they had more than a lecturer-student relationship.As if she could read his mind, she turned back to him and said, “Oh, take your mind out of the gutter. I wasn’t fucking him. He was just...kind to me.” “Hmm,” Adam said as he concentrated on the road.Not that it was any concern of his anyway.All he wanted was to get back to his parents.He had his backpack with him now, with the medication still intact.He just needed to get it
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 47 - Probable Luck
Adam’s ears rang so hard that he had to shake his head to be sure that he was not going deaf.He looked to his side to see Layla struggling to remove her seat belt.There was a cut on her head where she had hit it against the window.“Fuck!” she muttered under her breath as the seatbelt stuck fast to the bolt, despite how hard she pulled it.“Hold on!” Adam told her as he successfully pulled his seat belt free and turned towards her.“Tell them that,” she said bad-temperedly.Adam could see the zombies snapping and shrieking beyond the window.His sisters were making keening sounds beneath the hands that they used to cover their mouths.“Look away from them,” Adam said as he released the seatbelt.The front of the Jeep had crashed through the front glass door of the pharmacy, and there were glass showers on the car fender.Still, the car windows were intact, and the car was still upright.Adam knew that was just for the moment, though.The zombies had surrounded the Jeep again, just a
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 48 - Idea Gone Bad
Adam used all his strength to push the zombies blocking the door back.He held on tightly to the car door and pushed.“Duck!” Layla shouted.Adam automatically bent his head.His ears rang with the succession of gunshots she fired.The zombies at the front fell hard against each other.Adam quickly took advantage of the space they created.“Lock it!” he yelled as he shut the door.To distract the zombies, he ran as far as possible from the car.They all followed him.He wished the people in the car had already disguised themselves.When he could feel his lungs burning from too much running, he turned back and started picking out the zombies one after the other.The Claymore sword danced, slashed, and cut into flesh as the growls and snarls around Adam became so much that he couldn’t differentiate where one started and another ended.Core after core rolled out of the zombies, and the storehouse increased.Adam didn’t give a damn anyway because he was busy fighting for his life.Once th
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 49 - Deadly Intent
It took Adam a moment to realise that he was still breathing.He was alive!“Hey you…”Then a thud sounded behind him.He twisted his neck in his uncomfortable position to see a zombie fall behind him.Its widened, dead eyes stared into Adam’s.Its twitching hands still stretched towards Adam, as if it still wanted to grab him even in death.The bite on his legs became hotter and more painful.Adam gritted his teeth against the pain as he turned back to Layla.Her footsteps were silent as she moved closer to himThe gun was pointed directly at his head.The deadly intent was still there.Adam knew he was just one step away from death.“Hey, hold on!” he said as he desperately moved away from her.“I do not want to do this, but I have to. I know how this works. They bit you; you become one of them and then you will bite others and then we are all screwed.”“No, you…”“Thank you for saving me and all but..."“Just shut up and listen, for God’s sake! I have survived their bites! I…”Her
