THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 61 - H.I.V Or Pregnancy?
Adam felt reborn anew!“Pfft, that is an exaggeration,” he muttered to the silent ceiling as he stretched languorously on the bed.With a smile on his face, he looked around at the rumpled sheets at the edge of the bed.“Sorry, buddy. Three bouts of sex would do that to you,” he muttered with a silly grin on his face.As the morning light seeped into the room, Adam felt like singing.He felt lightweight, as if most of the burdens that had been holding him down had rolled away.“A good fuck would do that to you,” his subconsciousness muttered cheekily.Adam couldn’t deny the fact, though.That was a good fuck indeed.The girl had been fucking good with her mouth, her waist, and her strength.The first time had been like heaven.Adam had no idea that his body was so starved of intimacy until she touched him.Right then and there, he almost embarrassed himself by pouring right into her hands.She sent him a knowing smirk and made him lie down before she started her slow, torturous minist

Adam was feeling damn hungry by the time he came out of the bathroom.Reminded of the need to get more food before they run out of the ones they have, Adam got dressed to join the others.Plans needed to be made.He pulled open the door, and just as he was about to close it, his eyes caught on something towards the other end of the room.It was a radio.Adam turned back as a thought came to him.“So, that was what that was about?”“Huh?” Adam asked incomprehensibly as he turned to face Lisa’s furious face.“What was…”“So you wanted her to stay because you two were fucking? After all she did?” his sister tossed at him.She couldn't mean what he thought she meant, could she?“What are you talking about?”“Oh, don’t bother to deny it, brother, dear brother. Everyone fucking heard you last night. Mum too”“Oh sh*t," Adam muttered.“Oh sh*t indeed. Why would you want to do the nasty with such a piece of sh*t, Adam? You don’t even know the whore!”“Okay, Lisa. that was uncalled for. Don’t
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 63 - Courting Death
“I guess the genius didn’t think of that.”Lisa muttered under her breath.Adam ignored her and focused his attention on the man who just spoke.“You are right. Otis, is it?”“Yes, my name is Otis,” the man said self-importantly.Adam nodded slightly as he thought fast.They were all gathered in the living room, and Adam just informed them about what he had learned.The recorded announcement was about the fact that the government had three secured facilities open to the public for protection.One was in Ohio.Another was in Sudan.And the last was in Nasca.People just needed to get themselves to those facilities.Or at least to the evacuation centers, and the authorities would make sure that they got to the closest safe facility.The closest evacuation center was in Supon.It was about 200 miles to the east of Maradoit.While Nasca was the closest facility to Maradoit.It was about 500 miles to the west.As Adam explained, they can decide to go towards Supon with the hope that they w

The preparation took two days.The Trents had a Mercedes Benz Sprinter and a 20-seater Toyota Bus in their warehouse.Both were so new that Adam wondered if they had used them for more than just decorations in their gigantic warehouse.The warehouse reeked of paint.Buckets after buckets of paint were stacked high in the warehouse.“Too fancy for the likes of us,” Carlisle muttered as he kicked one of the paint buckets.Adam could understand his hatred for the Troys after what happened to his brother.Still, he chided the man to keep it down.They had not had to face a lot of zombies on their way to the warehouse but Adam still wanted to be as careful as possible.He went to the warehouse with Ryan and Carlisle.He didn’t intend to make the one-eyed man feel like less of a man because of his condition.Marriane had told him that the eye was healing nicely.They had been able to treat it on time and there was no infection.Though the eye was still bandaged, Carlisle seemed to be fine.
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 65 - Semblance of Familiarity
“They are treating this like they were going on a goddamn trip!”Adam told Marriane when she called him aside to talk to him.Adam was about to lose his temper with the people before she called him aside, saying that she would like to have a talk with him.“You can’t really blame them,son,” Marriane said as she gestured to the kitchen stool for him to sit on.“I am fine,” Adam stated instead and he stood looking out of the window.His eyes went straight in the direction of the place where they buried the baby but he kept his mind away from the disturbing thoughts of her.“Do they not understand how serious this is? After all those deaths, they still do not understand how serious this is." Adam asked no one in particular, still looking out through the window.“Of course they know. They do know. They are scared, too. That is why they are clinging to things that bring them comfort. A semblance of familiarity,” she explained gently.“But they must know that they can’t just expect to bring

It was strange but he could smell her from where he was seated.Not just her fresh scent but what she smelled liked when she was all heated up and wrapped around him.She closed the door and leaned against it.The smirk on her face was not helping his reaction to her at all.So he snapped at her.“In case you didn’t notice, I want to be alone. If you want... more action, you will have to get it elsewhere."The smirk on her face was gone instantly. “Wow, confident much? You think I am here to jump your bones when your mom just gave me a look I don’t understand? I am sure your sister must be lurking somewhere right now just to jump out and call me a whore again."That got Adam’s attention. “She called you that?”“Do I look like I need your sympathy?” She fired back. “I only came here to ask if I could handle the van when we are moving tomorrow.”“I don’t…”“I am a seasoned driver with a license, in case you want to know. I can drive that badass better than anyone here. That includes y
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 67 - The Lord's Protection
Nina was the last person to come down the stairs.She held Bo tightly to herself with a harried look on her face.Bo was letting out growling sounds in his throat.When Yoshi tried to reach for him, he snapped his teeth at the boy.Adam remembered the sound he heard the night before.“What is wrong with him?” he asked.“I think it is the wound. Mom said it was not infected but he has not been himself since then,” Nina said with worry on her face.Bo, at the moment, was sniffing at Nina’s neck.Adam felt apprehensive for a moment because of the jerky motions of the dog but then the dog turned his head away again.And for a moment, all seemed fine with him.“I just hope he won’t be a problem for us on the road. We need as little noise as possible. If he will be growling all the way like that..."“No, we can’t leave him here!” Nina said decisively, as she held Bo closer to herself.Bo did that sniffing thing again and the growl in his throat began.Adam turned away with a shake of his he
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 68 - Best Revenge
Miles away from Maradoit, a jet with the name Walton emblazoned on its side heads in the direction of Maleny.In the lounge, Sybil and an unfamiliar young man sat in silence while the numerous bodyguards sat away from them.The young man’s hands were twitching as they opened and closed in a fist.“Calm down,” Sybil said without looking at the young man.“He will get what is coming to him. We will find him, and you will get your revenge,” she said as she turned towards him.“No punishment would be enough for that bastard,” the young man said in a familiar, hate-filled voice.“Oh?” Sybil said as she raised her eyebrows regally. “Should we go back then? I will tell..."“You know that was not what I meant. It took my uncle a while before he allowed me to come. And only on the condition that you come with me. He would never let me come back if we went back now.”“That is because he knew that I have more sense than you,” Sybil said arrogantly with a mocking smile. “Look what happened the la

Epilogue - The Art Of Survival
Adam left the house after Theo was buried.Even though Lisa was not happy with the idea, she respected his decision after warning him to stay away from danger and call her from time to time.Layla paid him no attention as he left and in a way, he knew she might never really forgive him.Reminding himself of how much more important the art of survival was to them at the moment than the matters of the heart, Adam became a scavenging nomad.Layla was right in a way after all, if Theo had not been with him, he wouldn’t have died.So he thought of the best plan.To travel alone from place to place, helping those he could and educating people more on how they can beat this thing.He gathered men from place to place, and trained them in ways they could get food, avoid attacks and how they can survive.Soon enough, Lisa and the others made out the first batch of the new vaccine they were working on.It was a vaccine that could mask people’s scent when they are near zombies.They had been able

“Please tell me you were not out here all night.”Adam threw the soil off the shovel and swiped at his sweaty brows before looking back at Lisa.She stifled a yawn as she peered at him through bleary eyes. “You really have been here all night?”Adam smiled as he said, “Pot. Kettle.”“Well, excuse me. I have been trying to think of ways to save lives. What is your excuse?”Adam’s smile was gone as he said, “I have been trying to do what I can to preserve the body of the life that was taken because of me.”“Oh, Adam,” Lisa said in a heartfelt tone as she came closer to him. “She blamed you, didn’t she?”“She was right,” Adam said automatically. “I couldn’t even get the tools yet a man died because of my decision. That is not on anybody, Lisa. It is on me.”He turned away and continued digging again.He ignored Lisa’s approach and continued to dig in a frenzy.His back glistened with sweat in the cold air and the increasing light of dawn brushing the sky.“Adam!” Lisa called sharply when

“So it was your fault!” Layla said immediately Adam finished his narration.She had been holding herself so rigidly as Adam told them everything without sparing any detail.Even as others gasped and muttered with sympathy and shock as Adam explained exactly how Theo had died, she had only stood their with soot and sweat drying on her body.With her arms tightly around herself, she stood still, like she might crumble if she moved.Tears falling from her eyes had increased, but she didn’t say anything.Then, immediately after Adam completed his narration, she blurted that out.“Layla, I don’t think Adam...”“No, it was his fault.” Layla cut Maddy off. “If he had not told him to stop, if he was not so concerned about getting some goddamned farming tools, Theo would still be here with us!”Each of her words dug a dart into Adam’s heart.He had not expected that from her.From anyone else, he could have expected the hateful words coming out of her mouth.But not from Layla. She was...Layla

It didn’t take Adam long to realise that his guess was right.The fiery halo was nothing but a blazing fire.“Who the fuck was making a fire out there?” he wondered as he ran with all his might.He started hearing the sounds of rushing feet ahead of him as well.Soon enough, he caught up with Maddy and some other men also running in the direction of the fire.“What is going on?” Adam asked instantly.Maddy’s eyes widened in surprise as she saw him. Without stopping, she said, “You are back! Good, we are about to find out who the fuck wants to die so badly.”They burst out into the opening to see Jared struggling with Molly!What the… “Hey!” Adam called out in fury.The two struggling figures turned to look at Adam.At least Jared turned.Molly used that opportunity to send her elbow into Jared’s guts.Though her hit didn’t do much to hurt him, he grunted and staggered back a bit.That gave Molly the chance to turn around as well.Her face fell when she saw Adam.Then she looked guilt

Adam recognised the car even before he saw the cutout van behind it. His heart leaped for joy when he saw Layla at the wheel of the car. But then his happiness was tainted by what Lisa just told him. He looked back at his sister just as the car parked. “You are sure?” he asked urgently. With tears in her eyes, Lisa nodded. Adam stepped out of the car. “Adam!” Layla called excitedly as she rushed forward to hug him. The men in the van came down just as Layla realised that Adam was not as excited as she was. She moved back from his embrace and asked, “What is wrong? Were you able to get…” Layla saw Lisa at the back of the car just then. She smiled in greeting and said, “Glad to see you are okay, Lisa.” “Hi, Layla,” Lisa responded in a gloomy tone. That made Lisa’s brow rise in confusion as she looked back at Adam and asked, “What is the problem?” Adam didn’t bother to mince words. “It is Theo,” he answered. Layla automatically looked towards the airplane, where Jeremy w

Hoping that he wouldn’t cause their crash, Adam quickly turned his phone on and searched for how to land an airplane while it was on autopilot.He could see the anxiety on Lisa’s face as she removed her jacket and placed it on him to keep him warm.Silent and morose, Jeremy stared intently at the unconscious body.Lisa looked up at Adam and he could feel the hope dying in her as she asked, “How far to go?”“Not too far,” Adam stated.Not that he was so certain of all the digits and radars on the system.He just hoped they would soon be in Sydney.He was glad for the fact that Theo had already inputted their destination into the control system before the unfortunate incident happened.Adam looked over at the body on the floor.The blood had finally stopped.Lisa had made sure of that.Still, Thomas remained very unconscious.When Adam had checked his pulse earlier, it had been threadbare.Things were not looking good at all.Adam took his mind off the morbid thoughts and focused on sea

Chp 222 - More Than A First Aid
Adam ran as fast as his pain-wracked body would allow. The angry shrieks and snarls behind him were thrumming in his head. Even though the sword kept slashing zombies down behind him while following him, the zombies were relentless in their pursuit. At that moment, Adam thought fondly of the chemical the Emir’s men had used on the zombies. He would make it his life mission to ensure they had something like that too. That was if he survived. Which was not looking so likely at the moment. The bites on his body hurt like hell as he ran without pause. The overgrown weeds slowed him down, while the mindless zombies plowed on without stopping. He had to turn to shoot at the closest two zombies that escaped the sword’s reach, even while backing away. The zombies were gaining on him as the airplane came into view. He could see the anxious faces of Lisa and Jeremy by the window as they were yelling something he couldn’t hear. The sword gained him some ground as he quickly climbed th

Chp 221 - Hornet's Nest
They started coming from everywhere. The more the zombies that were with them snarled and growled, the more other zombies started coming to join the feast. Adam regretted his urge to stop at that place. As he swung, slashed, and cut, he wished he had never thought of stopping at all. He took no notice of the crazily increasing storehouse.Cores dropped in succession and the storehouse increased in tune with it.Adam was too busy fighting for survival to marvel at the size of the storehouse.One couldn't stand at one side and see the other side of the storehouse again at this point.Adam was sweating profusely as black blood flew yet more zombies poured out of what had once seemed like a ghost town.It was like entering a hornet’s nest. The more he killed, the more they started coming. Theo was holding his own, and Adam was helping him out whenever he could. But when Adam was able to pull out a gun and toss it to Theo, the gun fell to the ground uselessly as Theo shouted, “I don
