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
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 50 - Turned As Expected
Layla is a mad woman.Adam was sure of it by the time the car finally slowed down, more than an hour later.She had driven out of Spartan like she was done with life and wouldn’t mind dying while behind the wheels.Adam could hear the muffled voices coming from the interior of the carIt would be raised in an argument at some point.It would in turn be cut short by a tinny cry.Then silence.Then a blast of shots as Layla shoots at random zombies on the road.She was speeding over road bumps and potholes.Adam knew when they entered Maradoit.There were a few potholes in the road that residents filled from time to time with sand and cement before they got swept away and needed refilling again.Every resident of Maradoit knew to automatically maneuver their way around those potholes.Layla rammed the car into and over those potholes, not minding what was going to happen.The car rocked, groaned, and jolted as she drove.Adam felt each bump and jolt.By the time the car stopped, he ache
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 51 - Flaming Appendicitis
Adam thought fast.He knew something must have happened in his absence, but he needed to get into the house to know what it was.“Yes, I…we were passing by and we wanted to see if we can take shelter here before going on our way.”The others turned to look at him in surprise.The look on Jeremy’s face was beyond astonished, and Adam hoped he wouldn’t spoil his plan.It was Nina who said, “What? Jeremy said...""We would appreciate your hospitality a lot if you could help us!” Adam said loudly to cover Nina’s voice.The men looked at each other as if communicating without speech.Then they turned back to Adam’s group.“No, I am sorry. No visitors are allowed for now. Get a move on,” one of them said with a dismissive wave.Adam’s brains whirred fast.“Oh, please. You see, I must not have introduced myself very well. I am a cousin of the Troys. My father was the brother of Sir Troy Snr., and before he died, he told us to come here. He has already made the arrangement with them, sir. You
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 52 - Good Men Don't Kill
They were surrounded immediately. Adam didn’t even have the chance to draw in a breath before more men came out of every door on the first floor and surrounded him. They all looked away from the group and stood as straight as military men. Awaiting their leader's orders. “So, it is you,” the man said with a twist to his tone. He continued walking down the staircase. Gloating and satisfied with herself, Missy followed behind him. She raised the wide skirt of the gown she had on and raised her nose into the air like royalty. When she tried moving closer to him, his men subtly blocked her approach. She snorted and tossed her head, but she maintained the distance. “So you are a killer?” the young man said as he moved closer to Adam. He had a distinctive cologne that Adam had never perceived before. Notes of oud and musk tickled his nose as the man looked closer at him, like he was inspecting a bug. The tiny, rimmed glasses he had on gave him the impression of a school headmast
