XXV. Dead?
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Seeing that Dior could not be enticed, Ysa seems to have woken up from her dream and stopped approaching him altogether. Maybe her pride was shattered by his avoidance so she stopped leaving her room in shame. Farrah scoffed at this, while Dior remained non-committal.
The next day, the two left Farrah and Dior's apartment. Before they left, Yuan repeatedly apologized. Farrah waved it off and let the two move their way out.
Seeing them finally disappear, Dior huffed with satisfaction. Farrah noticed it and smiled. “You're really that happy they're now gone, huh. You really don't like them, do you?”
Dior frowned, shooking his head. The moment he saw the two of them, what he felt first was disdain and natural dislike. He didn't understand why Farrah was willing to take care of them, but since she decided it, Dior didn't stop her. He just acted like they didn't exist.

Dawn XXVI. Ceremony
The first thing Ferdinad did was to calm down. He cleared his thoughts and looked at Twilight with dead serious eyes, eyes colder than ice. “What happened, tell me. How did you confirm she's dead?”He needed to make sure. After all, Farrah promised him that she will probably stay there for three months. What if she just separated with her group, and Twilight thought she disappeared and already dead?Farrah is searching for Dior, so sooner or later, she had to part ways with her temporary team. Maybe, she's just there, still looking for Dior?Twilight saw his thoughts and cleared her throat. “Alright. Take a seat first, Mr. Luman.”Ferdinand didn't budge, silently staring at Twilight while patting DaeDae's back. “No need. I don't care if I have to stand up, sit, or kneel. What's important right now is to know what happened to my daughter. Don't try to stall. Explain clear
Dawn XXVII. Familiar
They spent the night inside the unfinished building. When morning came both of them managed to capture a rabbit, thankfully, it wasn't infected. It probably stayed far away from the city and managed to avoid getting infected. Infected animals usually die after being infected, and though infection to animals weren't as dangerous as the humans', it is still a threat for Farrah.Dior didn't dare to neglect and quickly examined the rabbit. Seeing it was safe and clean, they quickly cleaned and cooked it above a hot bonfire. Poor little rabbit.Caressing her bulging stomach, Farrah scooted closer to Dior. “We'll stay here for a week, and if nothing happens, we will go back directly. Anyway, where's your phone? The one that you used to call me?” Farrah questioned, wrapping her hands on Dior's sturdy waist.Dior pinched Farrah's waist, making the latter squeal. “...I forgot already. I seem to
Dawn XXVIII. Scouting Team
Few days later, several bases sent their most elite warriors to C City, and the Governess mobilized them quickly. She sent three powerful groups to the city where they last saw the monarch, fully prepared and ready for a large scale fight.Farrah and Dior continued their 'vacation' in light-hearted manner. Because they're under the sun too often, both of them had tanned considerably. It covered Dior's natural paleness and turned him into his old tanned self.Looking happy and satisfied, Dior looked at his skin with a grin. “Now, this is really the color that suits me. I'm not a vampire, why should I be so pale?”“Pale or tanned, you both looked handsome so don't worry.”“You really think I'm handsome, huh? Good to know!”“Of course! Should I call you ugly then?” Farrah snickered.Dior gave him
Dawn XXIX. Group B
“Do what?” Farrah smiled, crossing her arms on her chest.Olivia paused, “Fight. Do you guys fight a lot?”Fighting? Farrah shook her head as an answer. Back when DaeDae wasn't there yet, they used to fight a lot due to some minor disagreements. Ferdinand used to be their pacifier, and only when their son was born that fights and disagreements ceased to exist. They found out the fighting would lead them and their relationship to doom, so both of them decided that it is better for them to talk in calm manner than raise their voices over each other like competing who's louder.It also teached Farrah a lot of things, especially that day where she thought Dior would hit her when he raised his hand while they're in the middle of arguing. She didn't know what happened, she simply thought Dior would hit her when he raise his hand so she unconsciously raised her arm to cover her face, neck shrinking.She remembered how stunned
Dawn XXX. Dior Lee
It was midnight when a call woke Ferdinand from his shallow sleep. Groaningly sitting up, he glanced at the clock and saw it was only 3 AM in the morning. It seems that the called has been calling him since 5 hours ago, and there's already a hundred of missed calls. Puzzled, he checked the number and realized it was unknown.Too stressed these past few days, he couldn't help feeling irked, but he thought it was from work so he didn't say anything and just called back.It rang a few seconds, before a baritone voice sounded from the speaker.[Hello. Is it you, Pa?] The voice sounded raspy, as if the owner had just woken up, but the moment it registered to Ferdinand's mind, he almost threw the phone at the wall in shock.It couldn't be...Ferdinand gulped, his hands trembling as his eyes turned watery, turning red because of mixed emotions.“..
Dawn XXXI. The Monarch
Ferdinand was restless for some reason he couldn't explain. As if something was about to happen, seeing his expression, Eden couldn't stand it any longer. “You looked a mess, uncle. Shouldn't you be happy Farrah and her husband's alive? Why look bothered?” She too have heard about the news of Farrah and Dior being alive. At first, she thought Ferdinand had gone mad due to grief, but when she heard the recording of the call from the night before, she immediately burst into tears. She was beyoned overjoyed. Farrah's her best friend, she's almost like a sister to her and the news of her passing threw her off that she couldn't work for several days. She thought about Farrah's unfortunate luck, and couldn't help crying again several times. Now that she's actually alive and kicking, Eden was puzzled seeing Ferdinand's downcast expression. Ferdinand sighed. “Of course... I am happy, ve
Dawn XXXII. The Start Of The Chase
B City Base has recovered after the zombie escape incident several months ago. The Laboratory has been renovated and the equipments has been upgraded. The research is still on it's middle stage, unable to make progress due to certain mysterious factors that is absent and can't be determined. Ferdinand returned to his old job and continued non-stop calculations, experimentations, and trials. Though it never really had a huge leap, they weren't discouraged.Hundred years ago when several virus broke out, it also took people a long time before they could come up with something to fight against it, countless trial and errors, not to mention endless sleepless nights people did just to save thousands of people.Ferdinand knew they weren't far from success, and there's one big factor they needed to discover before they could take another step with the research.Study the strongest zombie, and extract their special blood.

Dawn XXXIII. Hostage
The chase finally commenced. Farrah wasn't surprised when everything went into this direction. The moment she discovered Dior's transformation, she knew this kind of scenario will happen. She wasn't afraid. She was calm, extremely calm that it was so surprising. If it was others who's in these kind of situation, they'll probably break down in moment now.They been running for several days, and it's getting tough as day passes by. There's also helicopters flying everywhere in the sky, military cars in every highways, a voice coming from a megaphone repeatedly calling for them to surrender, and the cries of the restless undead.Farrah gasped, drinking water as she glanced at the small hole on the wall, observing the flying aircrafts patroling the area.“How can we escape without being seen by these aircrafts?” She eventually asked, still panting.Dior blinked, but didn't answer immediately. Truth to be told, he was also tired after running

Dawn XLVII. STRUGGLE
“The world is already at its end, why struggle?” the female monster asked, even though she doesn’t seem to be desiring an answer. She just gazed at Twilight with amusement and curiosity, as if she was interested in how Twilight could still live in this state. She was also very surprised by the fact that Twilight didn’t end up infected even when she had used her virus on Twilight’s wounds. Yet she didn’t fall down as she expected her to.“Who told you that?” Twilight sneered as if she had heard the most ridiculous joke in the world. “This is not the end yet, we’re just starting a new beginning,” Twilight stood up, her whole body bathed in blood. Her comrades had long fallen, and their safety is uncertain so it was either flight or fight for her. Unfortunately, she wasn’t fond of escaping. A red dragon never escapes. It shall stay in the battle, victorious or defeated.“You really think you can defeat me? Haha! The previous monarch might have stood a chance, but you? I can crush you to a
Dawn XVII. Overwhelmed
Farrah pursed her lips, staring blankly at her zombified husband. It hasn't sunk in, but she's getting there. It's definitely better than him being a mindless monster. Though it seems that he really doesn't remember her anymore, at least he wasn't attacking her for now. Dior wasn't doing anything in particular. He was just there, sitting in one corner, dazed and looking like he's lost in his own world. Sometimes he would suddenly growl at Farrah, then would quieten as if nothing happened, seemingly wanting to communicate with her but unable to. The big reversal of things left Farrah overwhelmed too, so she also didn't speak but just continued to watch her husband in silence. She's unsure of what entails this discovery of hers, but she's d*mn well aware she wouldn't give him up in this life. If he could retain a bit of human instincts, it just means there's a huge possibility that he could become a human again—Farrah just needed to find how and why. She just needed that information
Dawn XVIII. Agila
Because there's no clothes around, Dior had to stand naked inside the room. Farrah had to stop herself from laughing and quickly checked if she had wounds in her hand before washing his clothes. She was naturally careful not to get infected, but it didn't hinder her trying to get close to her husband. Using her ability, he managed to wrung out the dampness from the clothes and made it dry in just few minutes. After that, she dressed him again and comb his now long hair with her fingers. “You looked like DaeDae, but as an adult version.” She eventually spoke, amused. Their son is a kid version of Dior, from his temperament to his mannerims. They're indeed father and son. “...Dior, I know there's still a little bit of human consciousness in you.” Caressing Dior's cheek, she leaned her forehead on his and smiled. The coldness of his skin made Farrah feel pain for her husband.“Will you please give me just a hint on how did you do it? How did you understand me?” Silence. Farrah knew i
Dawn XLVI. Two Roads
When Dior met Farrah, he thought she'll just be another people that will gradually leave him as time passes by. He thought during those times that he and Farrah was together fighting with their lives hanging on thin threads, maybe someday, when Farrah doesn't need him anymore, she'll leave him just like those people who abandoned him without looking back. He repeatedly told himself not to get to attached, but like a moth to the fire, he still fell for Farrah, and even if he didn't know what future was waiting for the both of them, he chose to take the risk. Fortunately, Farrah was different. She never left. She reciprocated his feelings, and stayed by his side. Nothing can compare to that feeling he had the moment Farrah said she's willing to be with him. Being together with Farrah gave him life, and gave him power to continue, as they face the unknown dangers of the apocalypse. When David came, Dior promised to himself to protect his family, and never let harm come their way. He s
Dawn XLV. SIGNAL
The battle between humanity and doom is at its peak. Each second that pass, someone sacrifices their life, someone weeps from the loss of loved one, someone fighting for another chance in life. Yet, no one wanted to give up. No one wanted to die without a fight. Now that the vaccine has been completed and at its production, everyone was more energized fighting against the undead. The only thing they fear now is the arrival of the monarch. Despite the strengths of several sectors combined, the possibility of defeating the current monarch is not even close to 50%. The monarch reigning the undead was as strong as Dior Lee, the first monarch, or perhaps even stronger than him.The walls were strengthened, several of the teams have returned to the base after a narrow victory, and some of the teams will forever never return to the base.A few days later, Farrah and the team went back to base. They managed to push back the undead and purge 90% of t
Dawn XLIV. Despair
They wanted to fight poison with poison. But how can they defeat the zombie monarch if the poison they needed isn’t waking up? Everyone was tense, and while waiting for Dior to wake up, they had begun their full offense against the surge of undead led by the new monarch. In the north, Major General has dropped TNTs to cities under the undead’s forces. Though it eliminated a lot of zombies, it really wasn’t enough to defend all their remaining cities against the onslaught of zombies. In the west, several elite ability-holders were in a rapid and intense fight against some high-level zombies. Groups like Red Dragon were there to kill all the zombies, disregarding their life and death. Groups like Agila, under the threat of death, worked with the government. A lot of civilians with mundane abilities volunteered to protect their bases and their people, even if it meant dying along the way. In the east, where the zombie monarch is attacking, they concentrate there all the soldiers. There w
Dawn XLIII. H City Base
The night is strangely silent, as if there’s no signs of life at the moment. Not even the sound of wind, the pleasant sound of leaves flapping with each other, or the sound of occasional crickets and cicadas.The gatekeepers didn’t dare to neglect their jobs, vigilantly scanning the surrounding area in every corner of the H City Base. Despite the tiredness and exhaustion, they endured and never stopped being on guard knowing that it was their family and loved ones staying inside the base, and only by doing their jobs they can protect these people relying on them.The night patrols are still surveying the nearby areas, and nothing dangerous has been spotted aside from some weak undeads roaming around. They quickly took care of it and finally sighed in relief. They also knew what had happened to their neighboring base who was attacked by an unknown group of undeads, and feared that it was them who’s getting atta
Dawn XLII. Fluctuations
Something huge is happening at J City. The fluctuations of energy is the proof of this. While the rest of the people paid it no mind, the higher-ups are clearly shaken by this phenomenon. In order to prevent “unnecessary” panic, the government didn't announce to public what they thought about this matter.Only they knew what this phenomenon pose such great threat towards humanity.But before everyone could investigate what it is, the fluctuations in the air disappeared like it never appeared in the first place. Like a dream, but everyone knew it wasn't. It was real, and the threat it has over them is real too.“What exactly happened?” The Governess gripped her pen tightly, with tight brows and pursed lips. Her eyes looked exhausted, but thriving. Her subordinate didn't dare to dally and immediately reported the phenomenon from start to finish.“The fluctuatio
Dawn XLI. Vaccine
Farrah had a headache when she woke up. DaeDae was already awake, bubbling nonsense beside her as he stretch his hands in the air. His feet kept moving around and even accidentally kicking Farrah.Farrah held those feet gently and kisses DaeDae's forehead. “Morning, baby. You looked like you slept very well.”DaeDae giggled, slapping his mother's face with his small yet chubby hands. “Sleep! Well!”Farrah felt that her skull was about to split, and it's too painful for her to bare. She didn't know what happened. Just yesterday, she suddenly felt so weak and light-headed. She thought it's just cold because of the cold weather, but it seems that she thought wrong.The pain was getting worse and worse as time passed by, and now, she couldn't even sit up from her bed.She smiled at DaeDae and tried to stand up, only to lose balance and
