Campus of the undead Desperate roads
The group sat huddled in the dark confines of the university's invaded workshop, their breaths shallow as tension weighed heavy in the air. The last attack had shaken them to their core—more than the fear of zombies, it was the realization that these creatures were not acting mindlessly. Questions hung in the room like a fog, suffocating them, though no one dared to voice them. Luke sat apart from the group, his back pressed against the cold wall. His mind raced, replaying every moment since the barricade had been broken. The precision of the attack, the calculated way they dragged Bayo away—it all felt wrong. He couldn’t shake the feeling that they were being watched, herded even, like prey. “We can’t stay here forever,” Mira broke the silence, her voice low but firm. “Where do you suggest we go?” Justin replied, his sarcasm masking his fear. “The cafeteria? Maybe they’ll serve us as dessert when those things come back.” His voice high pitched at his last sentence. “Enough,” L

Joseph slowed his car as he approached a roadblock just a few kilometers from the university. The scene ahead was chaotic—makeshift barricades of metal drums and barbed wire blocked the road, manned by a group of soldiers who looked far from composed. The tension in the air was palpable, their rifles gripped tightly, their eyes scanning the empty road for any signs of movement. He stepped out of his car, taking in the scene. The soldiers didn’t seem relieved to see him. If anything, his presence seemed to heighten their unease. One of them, a tall man with a sweat-streaked face, raised his hand and barked, “Stop there! No one passes this point!” Joseph held up his hands in a gesture of peace, his military instincts kicking in. “Relax,” he called out. “I’m not a threat. Captain Joseph Erickson, Tactical Corps.” He fished his military ID out of his pocket and held it up for them to see. The tall soldier hesitated but didn’t lower his weapon. “That ID doesn’t mean anything right now,

The group moved cautiously through the shadowy corridors of the lab, their phone flashlights cutting through the darkness easily. Blood splattered the walls, smeared handprints marking desperate struggles. The silence was oppressive, broken only by the shuffle of their feet and the occasional clatter of debris underfoot. Luke led the way, his jaw set as he scanned their surroundings. Mira walked close behind him, her sharp eyes darting from one shadow to another, while Justin and Favor stuck together, their shared silence one of quiet solidarity. Jeff trailed a little behind, his face pale but determined. Akin, Charles, and the others lingered near the back, their subdued manner growing more noticeable with every step. Sarah, restless and edgy, stayed closer to Mira, occasionally shooting glances at Akin and his group. The group came to a stop in front of a large door at the end of the corridor. Luke pushed it open with some effort, revealing a room filled with more scattered lab e

Joseph stepped cautiously onto the university campus, his boots crunching against broken glass and discarded belongings scattered across the courtyard, his eyes scanning the desolate surroundings. He glanced down at his watch-- 6:45pm. The light was fading fast, and with it, his window of safe movement."Damn it ,Mira," he muttered under his breath tightening his grip on the pistol at his side. "Where the hell are you?"The emptiness was unnerving. Papers rustled in the wind, mingling with the occasional distant groan that sent shivers down his spine. "My mind will be my undoing" he muttered as he moved slowly, boots crunching on broken glass and debris, every sound amplified in the suffocating silence.Ahead, near an overturned bench, he spotted movement --a lone student standing with their back to him swaying slightly. Relief washed over him for a moment. A fucking survivor?"Hey!" He called out voice low but firm. He moved closer, keeping his distance. "You okay? Do you need help?"

The morning air was cool but heavy with tension as Luke’s parents navigated the gridlocked traffic. The honking of horns and frustrated shouts of other drivers added to the chaos, and Luke’s dad, a man known for his short temper, was already reaching his limit. “This damn traffic! Are we going to sit here all day?” he muttered, gripping the steering wheel tightly. His foot tapped restlessly on the brake as the line of cars ahead refused to move. “Relax, dear,” Luke’s mom said, her tone gentle but firm. She had been trying to keep him calm since they left home, but her patience was wearing thin. “Relax? You expect me to relax when we haven’t heard from our son since this shit happens and now this!” He waved his hand at the sea of cars ahead. “Just keep your eyes on the road,” she replied, trying not to let his mood affect her own. When an opening appeared in the next lane, Luke’s dad didn’t hesitate. He turned the steering wheel sharply, cutting into the other lane in a bid to out

The small town was unnervingly quiet, the kind of silence that made Luke’s dad, Samuel, feel more exposed than he cared to admit. “What the hell,” he muttered, gripping the steering wheel tighter as his eyes scanned the empty streets. The faint creak of abandoned homes and the occasional flutter of torn posters were the only signs of life.Luke’s mom, Laura, glanced out the window uneasily. “Samuel, this doesn’t feel right. Where is everyone?”Samuel scoffed. “It’s a small town, Laura. People probably stay indoors this early. Don’t start getting paranoid.”But even as he said it, he couldn’t ignore the chill crawling up his spine. This wasn’t normal, not even for a town this size in Nigeria. He ignored the nagging feeling, focusing instead on the shortcut.Up ahead, a large log lay sprawled across the road, blocking their path. Samuel cursed loudly, slamming his hand against the steering wheel.“Who the hell drops a tree in the middle of the road?” he barked.“Samuel,” Laura said, her

A shrill scream shattered the uneasy silence of the morning, jolting Luke from a fitful sleep. He sat up instantly, his heart pounding, as the echoes of the scream reverberated through the lab. Around him, others stirred, their eyes wide and filled with panic.“What the hell was that?” Jeff muttered, his voice groggy but tense.Luke glanced around. Mira, Justin, Collins, Favor, and Sarah instinctively moved closer to him, their expressions mirroring his fear. Across the room, Akin, Charles, and the two others huddled together, their faces pale and drawn, the sickness they had tried to hide now more evident in the harsh morning light.The group crept out of the small room they had slept in, cautiously stepping into the dimly lit main lab. The blocked door at the far end loomed like a fragile barrier between them and whatever horrors lay outside.“Help! Someone, please!” a desperate female voice cried, the sound growing closer with each word.They froze, their breaths catching in their

Joseph bolted upright, his breath ragged and chest heaving like a man pulled from a deep underwater abyss. Cold sweat drenched his face, and for a terrifying moment, he couldn’t tell dream from reality.The nightmare had been disturbingly vivid—blood-slicked streets, piercing screams, and the bone-crunching sounds of death. In his dream, he’d been powerless, unable to save Mira, watching as she was dragged into the darkness by the infected.He clenched his fists, forcing the memory away. Slowly, his breathing steadied. “Just a dream,” he muttered, rubbing his face with both hands. But the ache in his chest lingered, a reminder of how fragile hope was in a world like this.His soldier instincts took over, and he scanned his surroundings. The beverage shop was eerily quiet, illuminated only by the faint morning light creeping through the dusty windows. Half-looted shelves leaned against the walls, and broken glass crunched faintly underfoot as he moved.The pistol at his side gave him s

Campus of the undead The end
The warm evening sun dipped below the horizon, casting a soft orange glow over Lagos. Luke and Mira walked hand-in-hand along the quiet streets, the sound of their footsteps a comforting rhythm beneath the bustling city noises. It had been three months since they had been released from the detention facility, and things had finally started to feel normal again—or as normal as life could be after everything they had endured.Luke couldn’t remember the last time he felt this carefree. For the first time in a long time, there were no heavy burdens weighing on his shoulders. No government scrutiny, no terrifying fear of what the future might hold. He was simply Luke again, the young man who had fought to survive but also the man who could finally enjoy life.Mira glanced at him, a soft smile tugging at her lips. “You seem… different. In a good way.”Luke returned the smile, his eyes lighting up as he squeezed her hand. “I feel different. I feel like I’ve finally been given a second chance
Campus of the undead The Cost of Freedom
The weeks had dragged on, the sterile walls of the detention facility becoming an oppressive reminder of the world that had come to fear Luke and Bayo. They were no longer the heroes who fought to survive—they were the weapons that had once been their salvation, now seen as potential threats to the fragile stability that the world clung to. The military’s tight control over them, the constant surveillance, and the relentless scrutiny from every corner of the globe had taken its toll. Luke’s mind was weary, and his body reflected the strain. Every day felt like an eternity spent in a cage, the lingering uncertainty about what the world would think of him once he was released only fueling the exhaustion that gripped his every waking moment. It wasn’t just about the physical confinement anymore—it was about how he would be perceived by a world that had watched him fight, watched him kill, and watched him struggle. His parents—Laura and Samuel—visited regularly. Their support was unwav
Campus of the undead Aftermath
The chaos at Eko State University was broadcast worldwide, its devastation felt far beyond the borders of Lagos. In a quiet mansion in Ikoyi, far from the inferno, Morenike paced her living room. Her eyes were glued to the TV, where Rachel’s live coverage replayed the horrors of the past hours. Her son, Akin, was on every channel—a vision of destruction and fury. Clips showed him commanding infected hordes, fighting soldiers, and causing untold devastation. The media painted him as a symbol of the apocalypse, a man consumed by the infection yet capable of terrifying control. “No… no, this can’t be my Akin,” Morenike whispered, her voice breaking. She gripped the back of the nearest chair, her knuckles turning white. Her maid, Titi, approached cautiously. “Madam, maybe it’s best to rest. This news… it’s too much.” Morenike shook her head vehemently. “That’s my son. My boy. What have they done to him?” Her knees buckled, and she sank into the chair, tears streaming down her face.
Campus of the undead The Final Purge
The rhythmic hum of the helicopter's blades cut through the eerie silence of the Eko State University (EKSU) campus. Below, a scene of chaos was coming to a tense standstill. Bayo’s figure, barely distinguishable in the dim light, moved among the lifeless, shambling zombies. His exhausted yet determined strides guided them toward their designated points, keeping the horde tightly controlled. Soldiers and survivors huddled at a safe distance, their wide eyes shifting uneasily between the horde and the sky. Major Erickson stood near the frontline, his steely demeanor masking the weight of the decision he was about to execute. Luke stood beside Mira, her fingers laced tightly through his. They both watched Bayo with a mix of admiration and dread. Nearby, Luke’s parents remained quiet, their expressions frozen in the same disbelief mirrored by every other face. Erickson raised his radio. His voice carried a calm authority that belied the tension in the air. “Echo Base, this is Major Er
Campus of the undead The Calm After the Storm
The battlefield was eerily quiet, save for the occasional groan of a wounded soldier. The once-mindless zombies now stood frozen, their lifeless eyes staring into the void. Soldiers and survivors stared at the undead in stunned silence, unsure whether to rejoice or remain on guard. The tension hung heavy in the air, a mix of relief and dread. Bayo knelt on the ground, his chest heaving as he struggled to catch his breath. He wiped sweat from his brow, his connection to the horde severed but still leaving a faint, nagging hum in his mind. He glanced around, his gaze meeting Luke’s. “You good?” Luke asked, stepping closer. Bayo nodded, though his exhaustion was evident. “Yeah... for now.” Major Erickson approached the group, his face set in a grim expression. He surveyed the scene, his sharp eyes taking in the scattered corpses of zombies and the soldiers who had fallen in battle. His radio crackled to life, breaking the uneasy silence. “This is Echo Base. Major, your package h
Campus of the undead Chaos in the Encampment
Rachel hovered in the helicopter, her camera zoomed in on the chaos below. Her live feed broadcasted to millions worldwide, capturing a battle no one could have imagined. Below her, the scene was apocalyptic: zombies clawing and thrashing, their hunger insatiable. In their midst, Luke fought with a ferocity that demanded attention. “This is Rachel, live from the heart of what might be the most pivotal moment in human history,” she said into her headset. “What you’re witnessing isn’t just survival—it’s war. And leading it are three individuals who may very well change the tide of this conflict.” The camera focused on Luke, his enhanced strength on full display as he tore through the horde. To the side, Bayo stood like an immovable wall, holding the zombies at bay through sheer will and some mysterious connection to them. Above it all, Akin stood on the roof of an overturned military truck, his commanding presence undeniable. His laughter echoed across the battlefield as he spread h
Campus of the undead The Unveiling of Bayo's Power
Bayo’s knees wobbled as the weight of the horde's relentless advance seemed to press down on his chest. The battlefield was chaos— filled with growls, screams, and the sharp sounds of gunfire. Every breath he took felt heavier, like something primal was clawing at the edges of his mind. His vision blurred momentarily as he stumbled back, clutching his head. “Bayo, what’s wrong?” Luke’s voice barely reached him over the noise. “I… I don’t know,” Bayo murmured, his words barely audible. The moment Akin had stepped forward, the air had shifted. There was a palpable charge, a sense of inevitability. And for Bayo, something else entirely—a flood of raw emotion that wasn’t his. At first, it was faint, like static on a weak signal. But now it roared through him with a ferocity he couldn’t ignore. He gritted his teeth, his head pounding with every passing second. Rage. Hunger. A deep, unrelenting hunger that burned hotter than anything he had ever felt. --- The horde pressed forward, t
Campus of the undead The Uneasy Realization
Luke paced restlessly near the makeshift shelter they had found for Mira and his parents, hidden away in an abandoned building far from the chaos of the encampment. Mira sat beside Laura, comforting her as Samuel kept watch by the entrance. Bayo leaned against the wall, sharpening his machete, his eyes scanning their surroundings with the same sharpness as his blade. “You feel it, don’t you?” Luke said suddenly, breaking the silence. Bayo looked up, his expression unreadable. “Yeah. Something’s off.” Luke clenched his fists. His enhanced senses were screaming at him. Ever since the attack started, there had been an inexplicable pull—like a thread connecting him to Akin. It was faint at first, but now it was undeniable, like a beacon drawing him toward the source of the chaos. “What do you think he’s up to?” Luke asked, his voice low. Bayo sighed, sheathing his machete he had picked from a fallen soldier. “You know what he’s capable of, Luke. He’s not the same person you knew
Campus of the undead The Battle for Survival
The air reeked of blood, smoke, and decay as Major Erickson crouched behind an overturned truck, reloading his rifle with trembling hands. Around him, the remnants of his unit fought desperately to hold their ground against the horde. Their once-tight defensive line had shattered, replaced by chaotic clusters of men and women firing in every direction.Erickson’s radio crackled, static-laced screams filling the channel. He shut it off, his jaw tightening. There was no point in calling for reinforcements; they were on their own.From his position, Erickson could see the focal point of the horde: Akin. The boy was slumped against a steel barricade as Erickson had freed him in an attempt to escape with his prisoner but had to drop him to save himself as the zombie seemed to focus on him furiously,Akin lay on the ground in a sitting position his semi-conscious form eerily still despite the chaos. His head lolled as if the drugs coursing through his veins had tethered him to some half-drea
