Everyone woke up. Everyone held and grabbed their own weapon as they gathered in front of the base. Even though the base's gate was close, there's a lot of people with abilities on top of the wall.Liam knew that if the people on top of the wall did not make it, they were surely going to die.Without hesitation, Liam heeded the call, his footsteps echoing resolutely against the cold concrete floor as he made his way towards the designated gathering point. Along the way, he passed fellow survivors, each armed and prepared to defend their home against the encroaching threat.As he joined the ranks of his comrades, Liam felt a surge of adrenaline course through his veins, driving away any lingering doubts or fears. In that moment, he was not just a survivor; he was a warrior, ready to stand shoulder to shoulder with his fellow defenders and face whatever horrors awaited them outside.If everything goes downhill, then he'll protect himself like Brandon told him before. With his baseball
After the figth with the mindless creature, after Brandon saw Liam holding Jarvis' hand, everything went back to normal, but they have a lot of questions. "When I heard Jarvis say he saw you, I was tempted to find you," Brandon said, as if he wanted to pounce on Liam right in that moment.Liam looked up and smiled at him. "Well, after I saw Marcky and Hannah's ability, I thought maybe I could go and find you guys. However, because of the chaos, I chose to let Jarvis look at me." He shrugged.Jarvis nodded his head and joined the conversation. "When I saw someone in the dark, I was surprised. It wasn't because that person has fear surrounding him but because he has something that might make someone feel a shiver down their spine." Jarvis looked at his brother. "Why the hell did you do that? I almost attacked you that time."Liam chuckled. "Well, I know you won't ignore it, so I just did," he said, shrugging his shoulders as if he had done nothing wrong.As Liam held Brandon's hand, he
As they talked and tried to catch up while walking, a woman suddenly appeared before them, catching their attention. Liam looked at who it was and saw that she was wearing a military uniform, and his rank is five ranks lower than Brandon. Liam's gaze instinctively locked onto her, and in that brief moment, he could sense something familiar in her eyes—the unmistakable look of someone in love. His heart skipped a beat as he realized the implications.This woman has a feeling for her lover. Another rival was added to his list. Even though he knew that his lover only had eyes on him, he couldn't relax and trust this kind of woman. She looks cunning and scheming.The woman turned her attention to Brandon, her expression expectant as she inquired about Liam's identity.The woman smiled at Brandon sweetly, which made Liam a little uncomfortable. He squeezed Brandon's hand, and with this action, Brandon knew he'd do it. "Who is he?" the woman asked. Without any hint of hesitation, Brando
Brandon and Liam became the talk of the barracks. It wasn't because they're both guys who hold hands and kiss, but because it was really new to everyone to see Brandon being like that. As soft as hell, this gives them shivers and makes them think that maybe the real end of the world is near. As Harol, Lacy, Britanny, and Sophia hurried home, their hearts raced with worry and anticipation. The mere thought of Brandon holding another man's hand sent a jolt of panic coursing through their veins. They couldn't fathom any scenario where Brandon would be so intimate with someone else, unless...Of course, there is only one person on their mind, and they want to confirm it as soon as possible.Their fears escalated with each step, propelling them forward until they burst through the door of their home. Racing to the living room, they were met with a sight that both relieved and surprised them.They couldn't move. It was as if they saw a ghost right in front of them.There, seated comfortabl
After they heard Liam say those words—that his sister, Jasmine, injected something into him—almost immediately, Brittany and Sophia exchanged glances, their expressions a mixture of disbelief and frustration. The weight of Liam's revelation hung heavy in the air. Liam has no idea what's happening, but for some reason, this made not only Liam but the others nervous, and without warning, a string of expletives escaped Brittany's lips."Fuck," she muttered, her voice filled with frustration as she ran a hand through her hair.This made Jarvis flinch and look at Brittany in a surprised manner.Sophia's eyes widened in shock at Brittany's outburst, but she couldn't help but echo the sentiment. "Fuck," she breathed, her tone tinged with disbelief.Everyone's jaw dropped as they heard these two women, who are much more mature than them and who looked like the kind of woman who knows nothing about cussing, now swearing in front of them.Their minds reeling with the implications of Liam's enco
It's been three days since Liam was reunited with his group, and he couldn't help but keep Brandom at bay. It was because on the first night that they reunited, when they had sex, it was excessive, and Liam couldn't walk for a day, which made him unable to go to work. This man, Liam, knows that he's been pent up for sixty-eight days, and this made Liam almost sit down in the wheelchair. Unfortunately, there's no wheelchair, and he keeps on dragging his ass out.However, when he was free at night, he kept on putting flyers and newspapers on each resident's door. It is to make their work even more easy. As the rumors of the scientists associated with the government began to spread like wildfire among the common netizens of the base, a palpable sense of unease settled over the inhabitants. Who would trust those people on the news? The news may not have been given by the military personnel, but it had evidence. Pictures and different kinds of documents were printed in the news papers an
In the middle of the heated debate, Brandon remained silent, as if he had no intention of intervening. Indeed, he has no intention of doing so. After all, if he did, this would stop the moment he spoke up. So he kept quiet for a moment.While listening, he couldn't help but furrow his brow in thought as he thought that the arguments around him were getting more and more intense. As if these groups of people, divided into two, would kill each other. This is the first time this has happened. Did these people lose their composure and calmness when the end of the world happened? If so, then too bad for them. He was silent, one of his cheeks resting on his palm, watching those people who argue and wanting to laugh with these people who treat this matter as a hoax.Each of the perspectives of these people had its own merits and risks. Of course, it was because they are all high-ranking military officers.In the middle of the heated debate, Brandon remained silent, as if he had no intention
With Brandon's guidance and words, the group began to do what they had to do. They decided to set aside their differences and started to work.As soon as the meeting had finished after the highest rank inside told them that the meeting had adjourned, Brandon left the room. He wanted to see Liam as soon as possible, and talking with these people made his head hurt, and he wanted to calm down. The only person who could do that is none other than Liam.And while he was walking out as fast as he could, everyone was teasing him, as everyone knew that Brandon had a wife, and it was a man. They keep teasing him and telling him to make them introduce his wife. Although those who had a daughter felt disappointed, they were not angry about it. It was Brandon's choice, so what right do they have to go against it?His life is his rule.A Man-to-man relationship is now normal since there are only a few women and children left. Some of them had died or become a mindless zombie in the middle of the
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
