It was early morning, but Liam still couldn't sleep. He wet the towel he was putting on Brandon's forehead several times because it dries quickly. The flickering lights did not help either. Because the light wasn't that strong and he couldn't create a strong light so that the mindless creatures outside wouldn't notice them, Liam had a hard time moving. He's used to this setup; yes, that's because he takes care whenever one of his siblings gets sick. But that was on normal days. What is happening now is not normal; how will he act?Liam's restless from the unsettling sounds coming from the outside; he couldn't sleep and might as well watch the sick person. He glanced at Brandon, who lay on his side on the makeshift bed, his face creased with discomfort. It was obvious that he was struggling at the height of his fever."Brandon, are you feeling okay?" Liam asked. Concern could be heard in his voice.Even though Brandon was struggling, he slowly opened his eyes. Even if he tries to show
"Alright, Liam, buckle up!" Liam's eyes widened when the car they took on the road suddenly pulled up."What the--"Brandon laughed softly. "Don't worry, I won't crash it. Also, I don't mean to hurt you."Liam turned to what Brandon said because he didn't hear it very well. "Huh?""I said we need to hurry. We're going to try and make it to the gas station. We know that the store at the station may still have items," Brandon said, his hands gripping the steering wheel with determination.Laim just shook his head. "Just food? I doubt that. The ones at the convenience store where I worked were looted by some people. If I hadn't locked the door to the room, they would have entered it for sure."Liam didn't notice that Brandon's eyes suddenly darkened, and his grip on the steering wheel tightened even more. "You're wise; that's why you locked it up. Did the food we ate come from there?"Liam nodded slowly. "Yeah," he answered.When they saw some mindless creatures again, Liam couldn't help
Brandon, sitting on the other edge of the bed, began to speak in hushed tones, his voice carrying an air of sincerity.For some reason, Liam felt that this was one of those incredible events."Liam, I needed to tell you something important," he said, full of concern in his voice. "I don't know if you're going to believe it or not, but it's all true." Liam didn't say anything and let Brandon do the talking. He took a deep breath before continuing, "The fever that I had, it's not just a regular fever or illness. It's a manifestation—a sign that someone's ability is finally awakened. The people that gained in order to survive this chaos."Liam, perched on the other edge of the bed, looked at Brandon as he listened to him intently. Upon hearing those words, his curiosity was piqued. "Abilities?" he asked, full of confusion in his eyes. "Like superpowers?" he added.Brandon nodded his head. Seeing the curiosity and, at the same time, doubt in Liam
Not once did Liam go to the workplace of one of his sisters. In that place, because the vendors were all food, there were really a lot of people there. As Liam and Brandon navigated through the eerily quiet avenues, the sight of a familiar restaurant sign sent a child down Liam's spine. His chest heaved quickly as he looked at it. The place is wide, and the road is four-way. Back then, before the apocalypse, there were too many people here. Now, mindless creatures are present.When you are in front of the restaurant where Nathalie works, it is usually marked by the inviting hum of conversation by the people inside and the aroma of food. Now, it's not like that. The window was smeared and dirty, and the distant, unsettling sounds of mindless creatures permeated the air.Liam couldn't help but be nervous. His heart continued to beat faster, especially when he and Brandon approached the entrance. A knot started to form in his stomach. The fear of what he might find inside makes him fear
Liam frowned as a ray of sunlight hit his eyes from the curtain that wasn't quite closed. He slowly opened his eyes and immediately remembered that he had a fever last night. He couldn't remember the whole event because of the height of his fever, but there were a few fragments that entered his mind, causing him to blush a little.His eyes, heavy with drowsiness, were finally able to focus. He looked to his right side, and there he saw Brandon, sitting on the chair, soundly asleep.The surroundings were quiet, and since it was early in the morning, there was not much noise outside, unlike at night.Liam moved a little and immediately noticed the towel that fell on the bed from his forehead. At that time, Liam knew that Brandon watched over him all night, just like he did when Brandon had a fever.Liam's gaze settled on Brandon's peaceful form, and an unexpected thought came across his mind. He hesitated for a moment, then bit his lip. He realized that everything seems to be taking its
The night was heavy with the shared sorrows and emotions of the two people. When Liam and Bradnon woke up after an emotional night filled with tears, both of them found solace in each other's hug. When dawn came, they just woke up to the warm light brought by the sun that had just risen through the opening of the curtain in their window. When they woke up, they were still wrapped in an embrace born from the need for comfort.Bandon woke up several times, but he didn't remove his hug from Liam. That's why, when they both woke up, he immediately greeted him."Good morning."Liam couldn't reply right away, and he rubbed his eyes for a moment. "Good morning," he replied.Liam's eyes felt heavy."Are your eyes heavy? They're still puffy to this day," Brandon said softly.For Brandon, the puffiness of Liam's eyes was caused by his crying last night. Brandon wanted to tease Liam, but he didn't. After all, the reason for his crying is not good.As for Liam, he knew it wasn't because of his cr
Both of them are naked. However, Liam has no courage to look at Brandon's downfall. When he finally had the courage to do so, his eyes widened at how big, thick, and hard it was. For some reason, he worried about his own asshole. “Brandon…”Brandon put his index finger on his lip and smiled. "Don't worry, I'll make you fully prepared," he said without any kind of shame in his voice but only full of desire. Seeing how determined he is, Liam only nodded his head. With Brandon's age, it would be impossible not to have an experience, that's why he calmed down. Even so, he felt a little jealous. After all, he wasn't the first. Brandon laid him down gently and immediately grabbed both of Liam's knees. Their eyes met and Liam immediately blushed in his position. His breathing began to get heavy as his chest began to go up and down fast. "Wha—Brandon! What are you thinking?"Brandon smirked. "You know what I'm going to do, right?"Liam's eyes widened red. "What? Are you really going to st
When morning came, Liam woke up to the aroma he smelled. When he got up, he immediately saw Brandon cooking. Since this is just a small hotel room, there is no divider. The bed is just near the bathroom and the kitchen.Liam immediately stood up and washed his face. When he sat down on the sofa where he and Brandon were eating, Brandon turned to him with a smile on his lips."Good morning," he greeted Liam.Brandon's infectious smile made Liam smile too. "Good morning," he said. "But where did you get the food?" he asked in surprise.Brandon didn't answer right away, and he saw that Brandon was cooking an egg, and he also ate some rice. From Brandon's movements in the kitchen, it can be said that he is skilled at cooking.Liam continued sitting on the sofa and observed him with a sense of gratitude and contentment while waiting for his answer."I came downstairs while you were still asleep."Liam's eyes widened in shock. "You come down. Isn't it dangerous?”Brandon turned to Liam, and
When Brandon laid down next to Liam, he immediately hugged him. Liam looks okay, yes, but Brandon still sees that it's not really okay. Just as he expected, when he hugged him, he felt his shoulders go up. He's crying. The room was shrouded in silence, and the air was heavy with grief. Soft moonlight filtered through the broken window, casting a pale glow on the scene inside. This is the second time Brandon has seen Liam this broken. It hurts, but he can't do anything because he knows that the only thing Liam can do right now is cry. Liam kneeled beside the lifeless body of his sister, Jasmine, his fingers trembling as he gently brushed a strand of hair from her face. Seeing his sister's face for the first time after the end of the world is really heartbreaking. What he expected was that he would be able to hug her. Who would have thought that he would see a cold corpse? Her once-vibrant eyes were closed forever, her body still and cold. He could barely recognize her through the
Brandon, who was just listening, looked at Liam. Even she couldn't believe what her boyfriend said. That's because he knows how much Liam loves his siblings. "Let me explain," Liam said immediately. "Yes, you will only be a burden. First, we know that your ability is not offensive, Jarvis. Yes, you will help me and Brandon, big time, in the travel because you know where there are many and few mindless zombies, but what if we're fighting? We don't know if we can protect you and Brandon at the same time." This time, Liam turned his gaze to Nathalie. "And yes, your ability was offensive, but it's not enough for you to fight against many mindless zombies. You still need more experience." Everyone is silent; no one talks. They all listened to what Liam said, and it was all on point. Everything Liam said made Nathalie and Jarvis unable to say anything, even though they admitted it. "Fine!" Liam just sighed as he looked at Nathalie's back as she left the dining room. He knew that he co
Two years.Who would have thought that people would be able to survive the two years that are happening in the world today? Two years without proper sleep, two years without proper food and drink, two years full of dread and fear.Even though Liam had created a cure, it still wasn't able to save everyone.When they gave them to the mindless zombies from the beginning, it didn't work. Especially mindless zombies. They did not become humans again and return to normal, but only lost their ability to use abilities. According to Brittany and Sophia, who studied it, that is because their body has become immune to the virus and their body no longer agrees to remove the virus from their body, which is why the zombie virus gives the body something to sacrifice, just like the ability that disappears in mindless creatures that are injected with the cure.Many are disappointed, but they are still thankful that there is still a chance that they will not become mindless zombies in case they are inj
A few days ago, Luis and his caravan left. Concerned for their safety, they still had to leave to carry out the mission Brandon had given them.Liam sat quietly on the edge of the bed while his boyfriend Brandon lay down."Bran?"Brandon looked at Liam for a moment. "Hmm?" You could see the worry on Liam's face, and Brandon knew what it was for. Because of that, he sat down, and he yanked Liam a little. "So, what's your worry?" Brandon asked softly as they sat down and hugged Liam from behind."Do you think Luis will be okay?"Brandon placed his chin on Liam's right shoulder. "Don't worry about them." He gave Liam a kiss on the cheek. "You know that I wouldn't give them a job like that if I knew they couldn't do it. Also, you also know that there is an ability user among them, right?"Liam held Brandon's knee, which was bent at his side. "I know that, and I have faith in your foresights. I just can't help but worry."Brandon laughed softly. "You still haven't changed, Liam." Brandon's
When the night fell, Luis got up from his bed. He has to act because otherwise, this mission cannot be called successful. The last thing they need to do is find someone to be their witness.Brandon told him that this would be the key to spreading even more rumors about the cure.Underneath the blanket of darkness, with only the moon and stars to bear witness, the three guards exchanged knowing glances as their leader approached them with a sense of purpose in his stride.Luis told them earlier, but Luis still went to them to tell them again."Alright, listen up," their boss said in a hushed tone, his voice carrying a hint of urgency and worry. Even if he doesn't want to leave his group and act alone, he can't do anything. It's easier without him. "I need to do something real quick. Keep an eye on things here while I'm gone," he explained.The guards nodded in understanding, their expressions serious as they prepared to maintain vigilance over their surroundings. Of course, they knew w
Meanwhile, on the other hand, half of the caravan members wandered inside the base. Look around and see how they can start with what Luis did to them. This is not against their will because they also know that this is the only thing they can do in return for the return to normal of the only child in their group. They stopped in front of a building. Many people are inside just based on the noise it creates from inside, and they hear it outside.This building, as far as they know, used to be a pub or club. They looked into each other's eyes before they went inside. They think this is the best place for what they do. Even if there are many people, they will only say one or two. When they entered, they entered cautiously, their senses alert for any signs of danger.Inside, they were met with a buzz of conversation and activity, the air thick with anticipation and apprehension. These people are still smiling even after experiencing a large-scale attack from mindless zombies. After all, w
The man paused in his work, wiping sweat from his brow as he turned to face Luis and his caravan. "Ah, a caravan," he said, greeting them with a weary smile. Even though he was smiling, Luis could still see the tiredness in his eyes. Who wouldn't be tired if you used not only physical strength but also mental strength, which is very difficult to replenish if you didn't use crystal nuclei? "You've come at a chaotic time. We recently faced a siege of mindless zombies that breached our defenses and wreaked havoc on our safe zone." He sighed. "I don't even know why the mindless zombies suddenly came together. Not only that, even if those at the top of the military were aware, even if they dispatched immediately, it still happened like this," he added as he sighed again and smiled. "If you're going to enter, go through the east gate. The process is long because everything has to be secured, but if there's no problem, you can enter."Luis nodded, understanding dawning on his face. "I see,"
"Let's not send them out yet," Liam said out of the blue while resting.Brandon looked at his boyfriend. "Huh?""The caravan, let's not send it out yet. It's only been an hour after the siege, and I think it's safer if they don't leave first," explained Liam.Brandon stopped for a moment and thought. Liam is right. If the caravan does leave now, they will definitely be delayed because there are scattered mindless zombies around.Brandon nodded in acknowledgment. "Alright, let's do that." He stood up. "I'll go talk to him. Just stay here and rest. If you can't, just stay in the room and sleep."Liam laughed weakly but still nodded and answered. "Alright."Brandon immediately looked for Luis. When he saw her, he called her. "Luis!"Luis turned and then said Brandon's name. "Brandon, do you need something?"Brandon stood before Luis, his expression grave yet determined. He shook his head softly as he delivered his instructions. "Luis, I think you guys need to stay here at our base for th
As the horde of mindless zombies approached, their eerie moans filling the air with dread, Brandon and his group braced themselves for the impending onslaught. The tension was palpable as the first wave of undead creatures descended upon them, driven by an insatiable hunger for human flesh.Brandon's eyes narrowed with determination as he wielded his powers, manipulating the metal around him to reinforce the steel fence that stood between them and the ravenous horde. "Hold the line!" he shouted to his comrades, his voice cutting through the chaos of the approaching fray.With a primal roar, the zombies descended upon the barricade, their sheer numbers overwhelming as they clawed and gnashed at the fortified barrier. The sound of metal scraping against metal echoed through the air, punctuated by the desperate cries of the undead.Hannah and Marcky fought alongside Brandon, their abilities complementing each other as they unleashed a barrage of offensive strikes against the encroaching
