THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 226 - The Unwanted One
“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
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 227 - Good News
“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
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM 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

THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 1 - Good Riddance, Sucker!
Adam Smith thought his day was already bad enough as he walked home dejectedly. His ears were still ringing with the slaps and the stinging insults that his boss’s wife had hurled at him, right before she had her husband sacked him. The injustice of being sacked from the job he had laboured so hard to keep weighed on his mind, but nothing was as damning to him at that moment as the look of disappointment that he was sure to get from his girlfriend, Anastasia. Gone were the days when those eyes were filled with love as they gazed into his. Lately, Ana’s temper was always short with him, and she had even banned him from sleeping on the bed with her since she started paying for their apartment six months ago. “Since you are no longer man enough to take proper care of me, and I even have to pay for our rent now, you don’t deserve to touch me!” She yelled at him when he tried to talk about her coldness since things had worsened for him at his workplace. Adam sighed long and hard as he
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 2 - Fight To Win
Thwack!Not wasting his time thinking of the betrayal of those he had thought were his closest in a city far from his home, Adam didn’t think twice before he struck hard at the zombie when it reached for him again.Well-built with the right amount of muscle on his strapping frame, Adam had been the quarterback on his college football team before he came to Joville in search of work and a better life.His body strength had been the major reason why he had not collapsed from all the vigorous work they had started giving him in the company since he got demoted to the position of a messenger.So he was confident that he would get the upper hand on the zombie, who used to be a lanky man before he turned.To his surprise, though, the punch only sent the zombie back a few inches before he advanced on Adam again, more angry and resilient this time. Adam jumped on the bed while wielding the goose feather pillow he had snatched in his panic.He managed to get to the other side of the bed while
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 3 - Joy In Chaos
Relief flooded Adam’s heart as his mother picked up the call.“Adam? Adam, is that you?” She asked hesitantly, then her voice strengthened with hope.“Yes, mummy. It is me!” Adam whispered with happiness as he cupped his hand against the phone.The street was still deserted, and all he could hear were shouts from afar, but he didn’t dare speak out loud. “Are you okay, mom?” he asked urgently.Instead of answering, he heard his mother shout. “He is alive! Caleb, he is alive! My son is alive!”“Shh, don’t exert yourself, Marriane,” Adam heard his father say as he came closer.Tears rolled down Adam’s eyes unexpectedly at the joy of hearing his mother’s voice out loud.She had become sickly lately and had been bedridden on and off for months even before this happened.Sometimes, her voice would be so weak that Adam would barely hear her.Yet, they had always encouraged him to not worry so much about them and to try to make a life for himself.“I will take care of my wife. You take care o
THE APOCALYPTIC RISE OF ADAM Chp 4 - Learn Or Be Forced To
Almost thirty minutes later, after Adam had thought he would certainly end up as zombie food, he was breathing so hard as he watched the two crystal cores that had rolled out of two of the zombies’ shimmer and disappear.Immediately, the spatial storehouse shimmered too and expanded in dimensions twice. 6 cubic metres wide now.Adam waited for the third crystal core to roll out of the adult male zombie, but nothing came out.With no intention to waste his time wondering about that, he quickly left where he was standing.Three things were clear to him now, though.The more crystal cores he got from killing the zombies, the wider the spatial storehouse got.Each core was equivalent to 1 cubic metre. The spatial storage would shimmer and expand according to how many core he got.Also, it was not all the zombies that had the cores in their brains.As he moved farther away from what used to be his home, taking in the destruction on the once-busy roads of Joville, Adam knew that his world w
