XXXVI. Just This Time
Last Updated:
2021-11-25 21:15:49The sky was dark and brimming with gloomy atmopshere, coupled with the chilly wind that can wake goosebumps upon skins. Even though it doesn't rain, the sun refused to go out, and the temperature dropped ever since yesterday.
Any time by now, the rain will fall and it will certainly be a heavy downpour. The Governess stared at the sky by the window, and kneaded her forehead.
She's so tired already, so is her men, but even a single sign of the monarch can't be found. If she didn't saw the recording handed by Major General Castro and felt the fluctuation of a sinister and domineering energy from T City, she would say that the monarch didn't really exist.
The only proof that he exist is the peculiar behaviors of the undead hordes that either blocks road, or attacks them directly. It was a great comfort that they weren't blindly chasing. It seems that the monarch's not far away and just hiding tightly that no one can s

Dawn XXXVII. DEAL
Gripping his hands tightly, Farrah and Dior stared at each others eyes. Both of them doesn't know whether they made the right decision or not, but since it's here, they can no longer step back and regret what they had chosen.“Are you ready?” Farrah asked, voice trembling slightly. She felt her throat constrict, and her chest tightening. Dior noticed it and kissed his forehead.“I'm ready. Let's go?” He calmly replied. Smiling, Farrah nodded at him. Both of them walked towards the exit of the building steps by steps, fingers entangled with each other. Each breath represent their emotions, even some kind of anticipation. Anticipation that they would no longer run, and this would be the start of dawn not only for them, but for the whole human population.The roaring wind caused by the propellers swept through the land, throwing dust everywhere coupled with the pungent smell of decomposing bodi

Dior was immediately imprisoned inside B City's Laboratory, but with Ferdinand in tow, Farrah's fear lessened greatly. She trust her father that he will protect him from harm, and wished that the antidote would be developed sooner or later.She went back to their house to take care of DaeDae, so Eden can go back to her work again. Though Farrah was also included in the research team, her profession was quite different so her task were minimal. She's either delivering food, washing the dishes, and organizing documents. It's enough for Farrah, as long as she can see Dior.Dior was imprisoned inside a huge glass tube, floating in a nutritional liquid. He was unconscious, but his brain activity was wide awake, seen on the apparatus outside just beside the glass cylindrical cabin.At first, Farrah was against Dior being unconscious, but her Father calmly explained to her that it's better for him to be asleep to le

The rainy season has finally started, roads are always flooded inconveniencing a lot of people inside the base. The rain didn't stop for a week, and even when it stopped, the sun still refused to make appearance. The weather undoubtedly affected everyone's mood, only those overly optimistic ones can smile from ear to ear.Just like Eden who's obviously lovestruck that she can't stop smiling from morning to evening. Farrah even began to believe that Eden's lips were sculpted that way because she can't seem to close her mouth at all. Her pearly white teeth were proudly shown to anyone.“You don't feel your muscles cramping smiling all day?” Farrah chuckled, leaning on her chair, steaming coffee placed on her wooden table.Eden shyingly blinked, a red tint spreading over her plump cheeks. “No. I'm not smiling since morning alright. I'm just being normal here. You guys are so weird.”

“How did it happen?! I need a comprehensive report!” The Governess yelled at the top of her lungs, looking at her people with commanding eyes. She didn't understand what happened. She thought everything's going at the right direction now that the leader of the undeads has been captured. The progress of the vaccine was also going well this past few days. Though it only jumped three percent after the monarch has been captured, it was still an enourmous progress. It means they're heading at the right direction.She thought nothing could go wrong now, since all's under control. With no one to lead them, lower-level zombies wouldn't dare to attack any bases with their non-existent logical reasoning. Lower-level zombies are easy to get rid of, but how these group of brainless monster managed to wipe out a base consisting thousands of people in a single night.The news of the L City Base' fall was only discovered when a certain mercenar

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

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

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

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 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
