It's the 30th century, 76 years after the first contact in Cuba.
"You don't have to go hunting, we can manage here. After all you father already had a job at ADAM volunteers". she said looking at her son carefully, she's trying to study his mood.
Even though they are far away from danger, where humans go missing everyday. Emily is still afraid of allowing Tyler wandering off hunting mutated boars and pigs, even though the price of mutated boars and pigs are always high in ADAM market, she still won't let him go. She knew Tyler had other motives, she never wanted his son to become a hunter or go into the military, she's always scared of losing him after Tyler's sister Jana disappeared.
"Why won't you allow me go hunting, ever since Jana disappeared, you will never allow me to leave your side, I also have my own life to live. We can't stay here and wait for them to come get us, someone has to protect the family. And that's me, how am I going to protect us, if I spend all day sitting beside you" Tyler said this in an angry voice. He knew his mother wouldn't give up easily.
"Son, my words are final. You won't disobey me." Emily stood up and walked towards the hut holding her radiation mask.
The world has never been the same since the first contact, some areas on Earth are filled up with radiations, which are emitted from the Aliens mother spaceship: (The biggest ship in the Aliens fleet, extending to almost 10miles).
Some survived the Radiation and moved to a safer place, but some are not lucky. Unlucky Animals with strong genes and cells survived the Radiation, and became mutated. Which makes them bigger than their normal size, stronger and faster. You should not be surprised if you see a big boar that's taller than a truck, with skin harder than an armored vehicle, and also with sharp long teeth and nails. Now horses feed on flesh and blood. In this new world, currency has no value. Food is the only acceptable commodity.
"She's just been selfish". Tyler said to himself.
Tyler has been a child with severe disability, being born in a Radiation zone has had a lots of effect on him. A baby exposed to deadly radiation immediately after birth shouldn't have survived, but he did survive with lots of effects from the Radiation. Tyler's body is well built, no one will believe he is just a 18year old boy. He started hunting mutated crabs with his sister "Jana" when he was eight. Tyler believes he is a normal human being, he believes everybody sees things thesame way he does.
It's evening, the Radiation level is low, Tyler knows this is the perfect time for hunting boars. But his mother already disagree with it. Tyler knew what to do. He sneaked into the hut, trying to avoid Emily noticing him. Emily was lying on the hay mat, probably sleeping. Tyler grabbed his bow and arrow, he wore an EV 1 suit that his dad got for him on his sixteenth birthday. He glanced at Emily who was heavily asleep, he knew he disobeyed her and felt guilty.
It's the early hours of evening, has Tyler stepped out of the hut, he started gaining pace towards North. He knew he needed help, a single body can't hunt down a mutant boar. Tyler reached a hut, the hut seems more bigger than a normal hut. One can say the hut is about to collapse, judging by it's old and rusty appearance. Sebastian lived here, Tyler and Sebastian were both best friends since childhood. Tyler won't go hunting without Sebastian. A coach of ADAM high *( institution for training ADAM warriors in Mars orbit)* once said that Sebastian can become a great High stage immortal realm *(The last stage of human genetic mutation)* warrior and a good talent for the future, if the training was right.
"knock knock". The sound of Tyler's fist knocking on Sebastian's door.
"Who is there?". A voice was heard from inside of the hut.
Tyler knew that was Sebastian's voice, but he wanted to play a prank on his old friend.
"Knock knock". Tyler keeps knocking on the hut door.
Suddenly the door flung open, and at almost the speed of lightning, a young boy appeared mostly in his teens, and pointed a Double barrel gun at Tyler.
"You could have been a dead meat by now". Sebastian said in a calm voice.
"No, not yet. You never changed a bit Sebastian". Tyler replied, while walking into the hut.
"Wow, there are lots of changes in here Sebastian" Tyler did not believe his eyes, when he saw how beautiful the inner part of the hut is.
"Yes, it's a new way of distracting enemies, they won't dare enter the hut thinking the hut is doomed, judging by the outside appearance of the hut." Sebastian said with a smirk on his face.
"You are really a chip off the old nerd block. Hun?"
"Please can we not talk about him".
"Ok we won't, but….".
"Tyler please stop, what brought you here anyway". Sebastian said, looking a bit angry.
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Am going to hunt some boars, am thinking maybe you want to tag along". Tyler thought Sebastian wouldn't want to come with him. It's been a long time since they both went boar hunting.
" Why don't you mention that earlier, wait here, let me go grab my EV suit". Sebastian said, grabbing a key and opening an underground layer.
"Oh okay". Tyler was surprised, he never knew the conversation could go so smoothly and Sebastian agreed to go hunt boars, after many months.
"Oh wait. Is your Mom happy about this?". Sebastian said, turning to face Tyler.
Sebastian knew that Emily is never happy with their friendship and their frequent boar hunting in the last years. Emily sees boar hunting has a risk of life, and not a game for children.
"You know she can never be happy about hunting boars".
"Is she always like that, someone needs to explain to her that we are no longer kids. Not even a horde of boars can tremble us". Sebastian is trying to lift the mood with his words.
Sebastian opened the underground layer which is filled with lethal and non-lethal weapons. Tyler was amazed
"How did you get all this?", Tyler said with his mouth still wide open.
Sebastian knew Tyler was surprised.
"I want a good explanation for this. Do you Rob the military". Tyler asks again.
"Lets just say I happen to work pass a battlefield between the *Omua ( The aliens )* and ADAM fighter". Sebastian said with a beautiful smile on his face.
"Am not buying that, you can't lie to me, it's not possible you happen to walk between a War and found all this, and you escaped without getting exterminated by the Omua". Tyler was furious, he never believed all what Sebastian told him.
"No, you got it all wrong. I found all this between lots of carcasses. They are all dead, I assume it's probably a war between the Omua and ADAM". Sebastian said.
"Oh, I get it now. So are we dividing them equally". Tyler wore a greedy face.
"Sure, but let's just assume we both own them". Sebastian said, trying to calm his friend's ego.
They both wore EV suit. EV suit are not common here in this part of the world. Only rich kids wore them, has it protect them from Radiation. They both set out and headed towards north. It's already getting dark. Tyler was happy to finally go hunting again with his best friend, and also with enough firearms.
Firearms are not advisable to hunt at night, as it draws more mutated animals to the spot. They both knew they had to make use of non firearm weapons, or else they would be dead meat.
They have been walking for hours, without seeing any trace of boars or other animals.
"It's been a long time we've been here, do you think the militaries killed all the mutated animals?." Sebastian said trying to understand the situation.
"No, why will they do that, it's unlikely of militaries to hunt mutated animals".
"To enhance their ability". Sebastian replied while leaning on a tree.
"Do you think ADAM militaries, who are already genetically modified, will want to waste their time on little improvement from mutated animal meat?". Tyler replied while trying to sit on a log of wood.
It's clear that they were both tired from the long walk, Tyler knew that his mother would have been worried sick about him. Even though Emily has been very strict on him the previous years, he knows it's because of Jana's disappearance. She is also afraid to lose him.
They had been sitting on the same spot for almost 20mins, when they heard a sound. It's very loud and clear. It's a boar beast king.
