Chereads / Apocalypse: Virus Symbiosis / Chapter 20 - The Awoken

Chapter 20 - The Awoken

The clouds above moved, unblocking the sun's beautiful rays from reaching earth.

Within MEGA-TECH, sun rays shot through the glass walls in the bedroom. The sun rays moved slowly with time until it finally descended, revealing an handsome man who appears to be in his late twenties. The young man suddenly opened his eyes, his blue eyes squinting from the sun rays.

He sat up to the edge of the bed, his neck making a few popping sounds as he stretched.

Suddenly, his eye squinted as he heard a few commotion outside and his door being slammed against a few times.

Ryver's expression furrowed. The sound didn't sound like a person knocking.

He grabbed his double axe and wore them on his back while keeping his combat knife as well as the tiny throwing blades.

Soon, he was before the door. He grabbed at the door knob, and in a swift motion, he pulled the door open.

Three zombies staggered into his room, groaning as they fell to the ground from the unexpected loss of support.

Ryver followed behind them like a ghost with his insane agility. His knife stabbed right through their necks before they could stand up, they were already dead.

Keeping his combat blade, he grabbed his double edged axe from behind him, and slashed at the door, two other zombies had been attracted, moving towards him.

Their head were immediately divided into two right from their eye sockets.

Ryver's body turned to a blur as he flashed past them, arriving at the passage way. There, he saw at least thirty zombies biting some unlucky fellows who managed to open their door.

"Help me!!" Terror struck them as they screamed to everybody for help.

The door to Jacob's room was ajar, and sounds of fighting could be heard from the inside, he was occupied by the zombies in his room, there was no way he could help those who needed it.

The other executives also had their doors opened and were also fighting for their lives, but with this much zombies within the tight space, the chance of surviving was very slim.

When he woke up, Ryver had wanted to go hunt for more zombies to amass more Evo points, but they came to him instead. This could be considered luck right?.

Moving forwards, his body tilted to the left and a claw struck past him to the right. "Too slow."

Bang!

Its head was slashed into two, its body smashing against the wall, ripping half the wallpaper as it fell. Seeing that this place was to tight to use an axe, he let the axe and withdrew his blade once more.

Puchi!

He stabbed another by the eye, his reaction speed was so fast that as he walked admist the zombies, he dodged every one of their strikes as though he had eyes every where, rushing into their opened defense and stabbing into their head before they could even react.

While his strength was just twice that of a human, his agility was no joke. To him, the zombie were simply too slow.

Raaaaauuuuugh!!!

One managed to almost touch his shoulder, but before it could pierce through his cloth and infect him, Ryver twisted its hands and with a swift jab, he stabbed at the head in a flash.

His movement were erratic and it was difficult to determine his next move.

In the blink of an eye, twenty zombies had been eliminate within the span of a few seconds.

By that time, Jacob had finished dealing with the ten zombies that he had invited into his room. His expression was one of anger as he quickly went into the rooms of those that had opened their door.

But some had already being dead by the time he arrived. With sadness in his eyes, he finished off the two zombies. While he went ahead to assist the others and the other executives.

Ryver watched as Jacob assisted the others. But soon turned away, he bent down and began searching the body of the zombies. Very soon, he gathered quite a few wallets which contained wads of cash and other things, but they were pretty much useless at this time.

He then saw three rows of condoms within the a wallet. Ryver glanced at the condoms then placed it in a wallet along with the big wads of cash. Keeping it in his back pocket.

Finally, all the zombies within the hall way had been eliminated.

Glinda, Daveen, Peter and Katniss were panting as their bodies trembled in fear and Adrenaline.

Peter humped lightly on one leg as Jacob got out from one of the dead survivor's room.

"Four people dead, how did this even happen? Who was supposed to be in the watch?" His teeth was clenched as he looked around.

"I-I it was me." Peter stammered, nervously adjusting his glasses.

"Then how did the zombies get in here with you on the watch?" Jacob voice was extremely dark.

"Jonathan offered to help and since I was feeling a little tired, I allowed him, going in to rest a little, I-I didn't think this would happen when I handed over to him." Peter face was awful as he explained.

"Jonathan!? That bastard pervert? And where the fvck is he?" Katniss cursed as she searched. Then she went to his room, but it was locked. Angered, she tried forcing her way in but was stopped by Glinda who held her hand for her ro calm down.

"id you were tired, you should have come to me! There was a reason why I didn't put Jonathan as part of the watch." Jacob walked at the and with furrowed brows, he brought out the key card and swiped.

The door unlocked and the five of them entered within the door.

"He isn't here either." Glinda whispered.

"Fvck! That bitch set us up!" Katniss cursed while the others all had dark expressions on their faces.

Ryver rested on the wall, listening to their conversation as he watched Peter closely.

"That motherfvcker!" Peter also releases a curse with a bitter expression in his face.

"What's happening?" The survivors who had been sleeping or refused to open their door finally exitiled their rooms one by one noticing the commotion had died down.

"Nothing is happening, get back to the room." Jacob told them as he didn't want them to panic.

"Wait, Have you seen my husband?" Suddenly, a woman went up to Jacob and asked after seeing her husband's room was left opened.
