Campus of the undead Into the Encampment
The convoy moved steadily along the dusty road, the faint outline of the university looming in the distance. Samuel gripped the steering wheel tightly, his knuckles white. His jaw was set, his face a mask of determination. Beside him, Laura held onto his arm for support, her gaze fixed on the horizon, where chaos and the unknown awaited them. “Are you sure we’ll find him?” Laura asked, her voice trembling, her fingers trembling against the fabric of his sleeve. Samuel didn’t take his eyes off the road. “We’ll find him,” he said, his voice quiet but resolute. “I won’t stop until we do.” Behind them, Major Erickson sat in his Humvee, his presence commanding even in silence. The convoy of military vehicles trailed them, engines rumbling steadily. Soldiers inside the trucks kept their rifles close, their eyes scanning the horizon for threats. The tension in the air was palpable, every bump in the road a reminder of the unknown waiting ahead. Suddenly, the sharp crack of gunfire pi

The mood in the command tent shifted after Lieutenant Bassey's explanation of the "situation." Major Erickson leaned against a table, his arms crossed, his usual stern demeanor replaced by a troubled expression. The sight of the caged student, rabid and unrecognizable, gnawed at him in a way no battlefield ever had. This wasn’t war—it was something much darker, something far beyond his training and understanding.He rubbed his temples briefly, then turned to Bassey. "Lieutenant," he began, his voice quiet but firm. "I need to ask—did any soldier named Joseph Erickson from the combat squad come through here?"Bassey paused, his brow furrowing in thought. “Joseph Erickson?” he repeated, tapping a finger against his chin. “Oh, right. That troubled young man. Yes, he was here briefly.”Major Erickson’s expression stiffened. “That ‘troubled young man’ happens to be my son,” he said.Lieutenant Bassey froze mid-thought, his face turning an awkward shade of red. "I—I didn't mean..." he stamm

The room was suffocatingly tense, the kind of atmosphere where even breathing felt like an accusation. The group sat huddled together in the cramped shed, a once-cozy storage room at the outskirts of the campus now turned into a refuge of desperation. The only source of light was a flickering lantern in the middle of the group, casting uneven shadows on their weary faces even though it was late morning outside.Luke leaned against the wall, his arms crossed as he stared at Akin with barely concealed anger. Mira sat on a wooden crate, her sharp gaze fixed on Akin like a hawk ready to swoop. Collins stood near the barricaded door, his eyes darting toward every sound outside, while Justin usually the joker, sat silently in the corner, his head bowed. Jeff and Sarah were seated next to Favour, who had a book open in his lap but hadn’t turned a page in hours.The group had been through too much—too many close calls. And now, it seemed, the chaos that had nearly cost them their lives had on

The sun hung low in the sky, casting long shadows across the makeshift military barricade that separated the parents from their children. The tension in the air was palpable, an electric hum that threatened to erupt into chaos at any moment. The crowd of parents surged forward again, shouting demands at the soldiers stationed behind the barriers."Let us through!" one mother screamed, tears streaming down her face. "We just want to see our kids!""My son is in there!" a man bellowed, his fists pounding against the metal barrier. "If anything happens to him, it'll be on your heads!"The soldiers, clad in their uniforms and helmets, held their ground, their faces grim but uncertain. They had orders not to escalate the situation, but the parents’ desperation was becoming harder to contain. Pushing and shoving replaced mere words, and the line of soldiers began to falter under the weight of the enraged mob.---A young soldier, barely out of his teens, looked back at his superior nervousl

The scorching afternoon sun bore down mercilessly on Luke and the group as they moved cautiously through the campus, hearts pounding with fear. Every step felt heavier than the last, every noise in the distance causing them to freeze. The once-familiar school grounds now resembled a twisted nightmare—buildings that used to bustle with life stood eerily silent, the occasional groan of a zombie breaking the suffocating stillness. Collins and Luke led the group, Collins moved slowly his tall frame hunched as he scanned the surroundings for any signs of danger. Mira followed closely behind, her face pale but determined. Jeff limped slightly, leaning on Sarah for support. His injured leg slowed them down, but no one complained. Justin trudged near the back, his stomach letting out a loud growl that broke the tense silence. “Seriously, Justin?” Favour muttered, clutching his prized book tightly to his chest as if it could shield him from the horrors around them. “What?” Justin shrugged, u

The shed was cramped, the air heavy with the stench of sweat and blood. Shadows stretched across the small space, the dim light from the single window casting eerie shapes on the walls. Akin sat on a crate, his face pale, his breathing uneven. He clutched a makeshift cutlass tightly, his knuckles white. Across from him, Charles lay on the ground, his body trembling uncontrollably, his skin slick with sweat and his breaths coming in shallow gasps. The tension between them was suffocating, a silence filled with unspoken fears. Charles finally broke it, his voice weak and trembling. “Akin,” he rasped, his bloodshot eyes darting toward his friend. “Are you sure… this is how it’s supposed to be? Are we really going to get stronger after this?” Akin didn’t respond immediately. His jaw clenched, his gaze fixed on the cracked concrete floor. Guilt clawed at his chest, but he forced it down shoving it to the same dark corner where he kept the rest of his regrets. He turned to meet Charles’ d

The campus was eerily quiet save for the occasional distant groans of the undead. Joseph darted through the shadows, his breath ragged but controlled. The sweat dripping down his forehead stung his eyes, but he kept moving. Behind him, the faint but distinct sound of shuffling footsteps echoed. It wasn’t just any zombie; he had already realized that this one was different. This wasn’t a mindless monster. It was cunning, calculated, and it was stalking him like prey. Joseph glanced back, catching the faint silhouette of the deranged zombie through the broken windows of a nearby building. Its unnatural gait was steady, its head jerking sharply as it scanned for him. “Damn it,” Joseph muttered under his breath. He ducked behind a pile of abandoned furniture, willing himself to be as still as possible. He slowed his breathing, his military training taking over. Think, don’t panic. The zombie’s groans were low and guttural, less chaotic than the other infected. It paced the area for a mo
Last Updated : 2024-12-23Campus of the undead Akin
The shed was silent save for the occasional sound of rustling leaves and the distant groans of the undead. Akin lay on the cold floor, his body twitching intermittently, his breaths shallow and ragged. The metallic scent of blood hung heavily in the air, and nearby, Charles' lifeless body sprawled awkwardly, the blood around him having dried into dark, crusted patches. Hours had passed since Akin had collapsed, his body writhing in agony after the confrontation with Charles.A sudden, violent twitch rocked Akin’s body, and his eyes snapped open. They were bloodshot, his irises now ringed with a faint, unnatural glow. He groaned, the world around him swimming as he pushed himself into a sitting position. He blinked rapidly, his senses overwhelmed. Everything felt sharper—too sharp. The faint rustle of leaves outside the shed was deafening. The wind blowing through cracks in the walls sent shivers down his spine, not from the chill but from how alive it felt against his skin.“What... w

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
