CHAPTER 0009
Once again, I touched the painful patch on my neck, wishing I could get a mirror to examine it, but as Doctor Wong joined me in the private room I had been moved into for the physiotherapy session, I lowered my hand and smiled at him.He smiled back and sat on his seat. “Mr. Smith,” his strong Korean accent made my name sound awkward.I raised a brow in response.“I’ve gone through your medical file,” he said. “I don’t think we have too much work to do, except to make you learn how to walk on your feet like you used to.”I nodded. “Did you see the cause of the injury in the file?” I asked.“Yes,” he said, his voice deep and audible enough for me to hear. “You were in an accident.”“That’s what I was told.” I stretched out a hand. “Can I have the file?”He paused, maybe horrified by my demand. His face said it all, but then he snapped himself back to normalcy in a matter of seconds, tugged at his clothes, and relaxed his back against the seat. “Sorry, I didn’t bring it along. It’s in y
CHAPTER 0008
Endless growls. Bright white lights. People milling around in cover suits and oxygen masks…One of them, a man, stopped in front of me and slowly took off his mask, flashing a tiny torchlight in my eyes. His lips curled into a soft smile, then he beckoned to a standing colleague with gloved hands.“Hey, come take a look,” he uttered to the colleague. “The vaccine worked on the rich zombie.”The colleague, thrilled by the testimony, walked toward me and flashed his own tiny torchlight in my eyes.“Yes,” the colleague mouthed. “It’s working on him. But how come it’s not working on the others?”The first man made a confused face. “I have no idea,” he muttered. “Maybe we’ll run some tests on him and find out if his genes might serve as a cure for the rest. But for now, we must administer more doses of the vaccine to him.”The second man nodded. He wobbled to a corner and grabbed a box. The first man flashed his tiny torchlight in my eyes again.“The blood in his monstrous eyes is slowly f
CHAPTER 0007
“You cannot enter the infected zone, sir,” the man in charge of the blockade around the red area stated as my team and I walked into his tactical quarters. “Those things are extremely aggressive. Not even the best of my men would risk entering the red zone. We are merely waiting for orders from the President to exterminate everything in there.”I frowned. His words were disgusting. How could he refer to humans infected by a virus the Pentagon had left in the care of a psychiatric patient—a virus they never asked for—as things? I hated him instantly, but I did not act rashly because I knew Adam’s fate depended largely on a decision I was about to influence.“And how do you intend to exterminate everything in there?” I asked, pointing toward the red zone. “How do you plan to kill everything still breathing inside it?”He chuckled and placed both hands on his desk, narrowing his eyes as he gazed at me. He was dressed in full military attire and armed with a handgun he had left on the des
CHAPTER 0006
Adam Smith“And how long will you let that piece of crap stay in this mansion with your grandson?” James fumed as we strutted into the drawing room, followed by Maria, who was utterly dissatisfied with what had played out in Adam’s room.“Who let her come to him in the first place?” Maria asked, stopping behind one of the sofas while James walked over and sat down, breathing with a difficulty I could sense.I said nothing to them. I simply headed to the wine rack in the drawing room and grabbed a bottle while they watched. I picked up three glasses and slowly returned to the center of the room, placing the bottle and glasses on the table.James’s eyes asked a thousand questions. Maria looked completely puzzled. I knew they had hoped I would kick Rosa out the moment I saw her in the hospital room with Adam. I could have done away with her and swept her existence under the carpet if I had wanted to, but no.I glanced at James. “We need to dr
CHAPTER 0005
Adam SmithJames, a forty-year-old man who was more in communication with Grandpa, picked us up from the hospital. I wanted to try my legs on the floor, but the nurses declined my request. They gently placed me in a wheelchair, and Rosa helped wheel me to the helicopter waiting outside the hospital.James was not the pilot, but he sat next to the pilot, while the remaining space was shared between me, Rosa, and Grandpa, who somehow decided to remain entirely silent throughout the short flight.The helicopter finally landed in a massive courtyard of a sprawling estate. As it touched down on the greenery, three black Cadillacs pulled up, stopping some distance away. The doors popped open, and seven men in black suits and tinted glasses surged out and headed toward the copter.The copter’s door was pushed open, and slowly, the men helped carry me out. Though Rosa insisted she would wheel me to the car, they ignored her and placed me in a wheelch
CHAPTER 0004
Adam SmithThe old man and the doctor left shortly after the argument, followed by two of the three nurses. The third stayed behind. She changed the urinary drainage bag and replaced my bedsheets and pillowcase. Then she announced, “You have a visitor. She’s waiting outside. She wants to see you.”She? Who could she be?The nurse patted my arm and turned to leave, but I grabbed her hand, causing her to pivot toward me, her brows raised in mild query. I freed her hand and let out a gentle breath.“What happened to me?” I asked curiously. “How did I end up here?”Her face softened into a warm smile. She took my hand and caressed it gently. “Like the doctor said, you were in an accident, but you are alright now.”Her words brought hope. They were the first female words I had heard since I woke from the nightmare they called three years in a coma. It felt comforting. I wanted her to stay and keep me company in the room, and maybe follow me to whe
