Chapter 23 - Major Mallorie
"Okay, I tell you, and you let go?" the man asked, staring firmly at Dave, who shrugged in response. "No, I need to hear you say it," he insisted. "You have my word" Hei Yu cut in quickly. "Okay, so there are different types of mutations and evolutions as well as different types of zombies. I'm sure you've heard the scientific phrase that 'evolution has no direction'. Well, that's a load of crap" The man waved his hand as he tried to rush his words. "Evolution is an organism's consistent development towards thriving in any environment it finds itself. My theory is that the world changed a long time ago without us noticing and organisms on earth started to evolve. A zombie is but one path of mutations or evolution, I don't yet know where to classify it neither do I know what the requirements are to develop in this direction" Seeing the man going on and on without answering the question, Dave waved his hand, gesturing for him to hurry it up. "Well, a Proto-zombie is one natur
Chapter 22 - Zombies
It took Dave a little while to get used to riding an electric bike. Growing up as a farm kid, he had plenty of experience on large machinery and never had to take driving lessons but never had experience with a bike. The roads were uneven and unsuitable for a two-wheeler. The closest he ever came to a bike was a three-wheeler. However, since it was an electric bike and he naturally had a good balance, he quickly got the hang of it. Then came the pressure of unfamiliar environments and leaping zombies. Yes, leaping zombies. Hei Yu called them ambushers. While they were weak and had the same attributes as the normal zombies they were used to, these ones behaved completely differently. Instead of rushing towards any and all signs of life, they would instead stay in hiding and leap out like frogs to climb on anyone who approached, hence the name, 'Ambushers'. The Ambushers moved awkwardly on all fours but their movements were fluid. While dangerous, somehow, Hei Yu seemed t
Chapter 21 - Wild Awakened
The airport was some four kilometers from the University where Dave's sisters attended. To get there, they would have to battle through swarms of zombies, not to mention other city survivors. In a lawless world, man could potentially be more dangerous than any zombie or monster ever could. The plane touched down silently and the engines were promptly shut off to avoid attracting attention. Unlike most movies portrayed zombies, we're not attracted to sound but could somehow sense life. But there were many other things capable of picking up sound. Inside the plane, Dave walked on his own towards the now cleaned-out cargo bay. He surveyed the space and counted how many vehicles they had left. The truck from earlier was gone but the Motorbike Alisha used had been repaired. The space was clean like nothing happened in it. "The roads are blocked with cars and debris so you won't be able to drive a car through. I suggest taking the electric bike; they've been modified to last twelve
Chapter 20 -Sealing Doom
The plane let out a gentle hum as it broke slowly through the clouds, meanwhile within, Dave started to shiver soon after eating."What exactly is going on with you?" Celine asked as she watched Hei Yu support him towards his room."Just changed tol rapidly that's all. I'm okay, it's just my mind tricking my body into thinking I'm not. Should be over in a few days" Dave replied. He was aware of his own condition better than most.Hei Yu nodded as she lowered him on his bed. The room was too small to contain three and Celine had things to do so she left while Hei Yu half laid beside Dave, supporting her upper body on the wall as she held his head on her lap."Is this really okay?" Dave asked in a low mumble as Hei Yu slowly stroked his hair. A smile bloomed on her face as she looked down on him struggling to keep his eyes open."I actually like how this bothers you. Stop thinking too much, are you in any condition to let your mind travell?" She teased and Dave snuggled on her to lay mo
Chapter 19 - Changes
"Woah, my compatibility is awful" Hei Yu groaned. "What's going on?" Celine asked glancing between the two of them in confusion. "Changes to the Awakened system" Dave shook his head. He decided to keep his compatibility to himself for now. After all, his system window just collapsed out of nowhere and he lost access to it completely. Such information could either make him valuable or vulnerable, depending on the perspective of anyone interested in him. He sat up slowly and struggled to get off the bed. Hei Yu quickly hurried forward to support him. "What happened with your friends?" Dave asked. Of course, he had long since noticed their absence. Celine walked beside them as Hei Yu supported Dave out of the infirmary and into a dining room. As they walked, she recounted what happened after Dave got off the plane. "Leaving your husband alone here was a risk" Dave shook his head as he was slowly let down into a chair. "No, I don't think they would have hurt him. After all withou
Chapter 18 - Back on The Plane
It was more than a struggle to get the car into the plane after it went airborne and even more to get out of the flipped car once it was inside the cargo bay, and going through all that while giving CPR was impossible. By now, Celine, Hei Yu, and the guard in the car had taken turns keeping Dave's heart beating while the plane staff fought hard to saw the door open. Unfortunately, after all that tossing, the door Dave had reinstalled, along with all other doors, had gotten stuck. "We'll get you out soon enough; it's a common fault with this truck brand," Mr Celeste urged. He turned around to see two women arrive with a gurney and gestured for them to come closer and ready to pull Dave out as soon as the door was cut. "How's his breathing?" Celine asked urgently as she pushed down in a rhythm on Dave's chest. "Still weak, but he's breathing," The guard replied, looking up at her with a finger under Dave's nose. Due to the flipped truck and little space, there wasn't much
