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
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 53 - Missy, The Snitch
“I told you she was a bitch!" Lisa said, for the umpteenth time as she paced the underground room where the guards had tossed them. “No, actually, you yelled it at her. Now, please shut up and let me think,” Adam said as he rubbed hard at his forehead. He could feel a raging headache coming on. Lisa glared at him, but she sat down on the cold, rough ground as she muttered, “Think. As if that would make any difference now.” Adam’s body was still not settled yet. He didn’t know exactly, but he knew a change was happening to his body. His weakness was gone. Then, as if a hose of slowly running water, was opened above a dry swimming pool, he could feel a strange energy slowly filling his body. If only it was not messing with his system so badly. He could also feel the onset of hunger. The worst thing was that he did not have any food left in the storehouse. They had food left in the Jeep, but that was out of the question now. Adam realized that he was more terrified by the ove
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 54 - Alien Entity
There was no point in trying to fix the door back in place again.It was curved inward at the point where Adam’s fist had smashed it.He couldn’t understand what had happened as well, so he didn’t bother to answer when Nina whispered in astonishment, as if she were afraid that their abductor would hear her from the house.“How did you do that, Adam? That shouldn’t have been possible.”Lisa had the same questions in her eyes as she turned back to him.She had been bent over the motionless guard before.“No time for that,” Adam said as he urged Jeremy to come along quietly.He glanced at the guard on the floor.“Threadbare pulse, but he is still alive,” she said.“Come along,” Adam said, not showing the relief he felt that he had not killed another man.He laid his ears against the hay store door.His sharpened hearing could pick out every sound outside, including the shuffling sounds of ants going about their business.Yet he couldn’t perceive the breathing of a human.He couldn't beli
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 55 - Dead Man's Bargain
The back door was wide open.Adam balked like a deer caught in headlights.That was not right.He remembered what he had seen when they ran from the stable to the side of the house.He had caught the barest glance then, but the door had been closed.Since he doubted that his sisters would have been stupid enough to leave the door wide open even after they disobeyed him,Adam was certain that someone else must have left the door open.He had already put his sword back into the orb before moving from the side of the house.His head jerked swiftly to the side when he caught the barest hint of breathing outside the house.But he didn’t see anything.He couldn’t hear the footsteps of the four remaining guards, as he had been hearing them earlier too.“Oh fuck,” he muttered beneath his breath as he approached the door.Knowing fully well that he was walking into a trap, Adam entered the house.There was no one around as he entered.A sudden moment behind him made him turn back.A guard shut
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 56 - Debt Of Life
Missy screeched as she came rushing downstairs.“Prince! Prince… I am scared. I…”“Get back upstairs, you dunce!" Adam commanded as he punched a zombie's face in and slashed another with his other hand.She ignored him and dove among the guards to get to the prince.Adam quickly blocked the path of a zombie that was about to go up the stairs.He turned back as Missy yelled.The prince had used her to block a zombie that was about to bite him.He tossed her to the zombie, and the latter promptly sank its rotten teeth into her.Missy’s high-pitched screams mingled with the snarls of the zombies as they surrounded her and bit her to ribbons.Adam couldn’t get to her on time, nor did he put in any effort to.Not when he was trying to make sure that the zombies couldn’t get upstairs.The zombies kept coming.Adam had no idea how they had come from the main part of the town to the remote area of the Troys’ mansion.At the moment, he couldn’t be bothered to think much.The prince’s guards we
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 57 - Ugliness Within
As it happened, not all the women stayed upstairs while the men did the gruesome work. Some of the men went outside to dig the grave where the dead bodies would be buried. Soon enough, Adam’s sisters rushed down the staircase. “Adam!” Nina screamed in joy as she rushed to hug him tightly. Adam was drenched with blood and smelled like he needed to be bathed from the inside out, yet his sister didn’t mind as she hugged him tightly like her life depended on it. “Glad you did not die,” Lisa said as she thumped him lightly on the shoulder. Nina sobbed into his neck, and Lisa looked at him with tears in her eyes. “Oh, mother of God,” Adam said, looking up to see his mother coming down the stairs with his father right behind her. “Mum?” Adam said this as Nina stepped back from him. “I told everyone to stay upstairs. This is not a place for you.” Nina finally took notice of the bodies remaining on the floor. She swayed, and Lisa grabbed her before she could faint to the floor. “Come
