NZOMBIE - The Living Dead

- It was much better than I could have imagined... - Nadja lying on his mutant chest, avoiding touching the human side, still panting while uttering the words as if he had to give some kind of explanation, or even make a detailed report experience.
- I was not surprised, but I'm a little confused... - I was sure I still loved hopelessly Nadja Romanov and the last hours proved it. He gave himself completely and made sure to dominate the sexual act as the situation demanded so let your wild side to do this and had her approval. On another occasion, what just happened would have been deadly to any of them. Inevitably white and human skin that still had had deep scratches, but would not say anything about it for now.
- What do you mean, Nick... not like what he did? - Was taken aback by his comment, wanted to be accepted as a partner and his breeding, his male and Alpha was the only thing that had not anticipated the rejection.
- No! It was great! Much better than I ever imagined and look I imagined it many times as you "paraded" on one side to the other that research station... - needed to resolve the situation and reassure her. - I'm sure you love Nadja like the first time I saw her, but I cannot define the feeling of all ... - That's what bothered him was not sure it was true love as ever lived in other relationships, even to passengers.
- I know what you mean... - She herself had realized that their relationship did not involve love, because that feeling was absent in his heart, existed only in the mind as if it were a message from the past. But set pretty much all he had felt was now an animal in need is in heat mate and the result was magnanimous, the bodies of both responded as expected. - I do not think we turn to feel the love as we knew because it makes stop another world that no longer exists and what we are now is pure necessity to procreate, even if we can arbitrate, or choose where, when and how , unlike other existing species. We have sex for pleasure and fun and so we have children by chance... - I hoped he understood what had just explained.
- Yes, I'm sure that's... - No one better than her to give a simple and objective explanation for all the doubts that had briefly. - This happened inside the house when I looked around what happened in that room and I repented not ... - He was guilty of no feelings even to see his mother, Martha, being devoured by Oliver McQueen, on the other hand hatred remained lit and more exacerbated than had ever been.
- It would make sense that a weak species could occupy the prominent place in the food chain on our planet, not only the strongest survive, but also the most prepared and we are both now! - It was the premise of any animal to survive in the cruel world he knew as Planet Earth and how many times she had wondered how could be the human being as fragile as it was, I could have survived for so long without succumbing. They were silent in the following minutes as the day dawned.
- We have to get out of here, my dear, before it's too late! - The meaning of the word affection used was not the same, but still served the purpose. - We need to get some clothes and move on ... - He sat down again on the aircraft floor.
- I do not believe that clothing is an urgent need! - She smiled amused the situation. - There's no one to blame in the shamelessness of our bodies! - She sat beside him knowing that he was right about continuing the way of escape.
- You do not stop to amaze me, Nadja Romanov! - He opened the door and went outside to enjoy the new day appeared before his eyes. She held tightly by the arm.
- I smell ZOMBIES approaching, if they feel the smell too, nothing can save him! - He brought his body in front of him as to obstruct the human odor that he still exuded; after all he was NZOMBIE, the mutant. Nick turn accustomed to will color of her skin and well pronounced contours of the naked body to his face, the contrast with the black hair made her a character of some sort of journal of fantastic stories.
They took some things they might need along the way aimlessly they would do, but it was urgent to be absent from that specific area and Frost suspected that the men on the other side of that phone call they wanted to find would know the right address for this.
Apocalypse
Frost still had the problem of recharging the mobile phone that belonged to Oliver McQueen and it was his connection with the ancient civilized world, wanted to know more about those people who had cheated death and taken refuge in a safe place that he did not know completely. At some point you need to report the incident to your partner, but would only do after it had assured that the connection would be restored.
Otherwise not feed any expectation.
They walked for miles without feeling any fatigue were more than adapted to the new bodies, dodged up whole legions of ZOMBIES hikers ruminating aimlessly, but it was clear that the destruction and mutilated corpses scattered along the way did not cause them any kind of revulsion, as if it had always been that way, with no space for criticism or looks of censorship.
Not long in coming to Drammen it was temporary destination that follow, was out using any type of vehicle for locomotion, not only by the difficulties imposed by the new bodies, but also that arouse their presence to either side that were hunting and with absolute certainty were. There was the option of being able to do part of the journey on foot and silently, the rest would be by boat, possibly sailing, and discreet, it would be a safe haven even in the open sea.
One thing still needed to be done and even if Nadja was right, the human side of Nick Frost insisted that it would cover with something; it was not only modesty, but some rules had to be obeyed and protection for the bodies would never hurts. Then sought one houses of unisex clothing, one of the large department stores throughout the city. Nadja that there was no point in using garments asked him what he should wear and that was to his liking.
- So, what should I use to make you feel comfortable? - The question was tricky since in both hands were just fine lingerie pieces and did not apply to the new body reality.
- A thick fabric of pants and a shirt that can serve as protection as well, come on, I'll show you! - I was determined to dress her it the best way possible for the walk they would. - This denim trousers will be great and the sleeveless shirt that can also double you will fall like a glove! - Nick gave him the clothes waiting for her to get dressed, but did not. - What's it? - He asked surprised.
- Look, the world may have changed, we can now be only a shadow of what we were, but things are still needed! - He shouted as he picked up two underwear parts for use beneath the he had given him. - And I hope you do the same! - It sounded like a warning and reprimand as it begins to wear all together. Nick Frost did not think twice and chose to immediately separate the undergarment and followed a similar dress that she would use, that would make them more homogeneous, although it did not matter to her, perhaps even to him. Finally, still he wore a leather jacket and adjusted to new muscles she did not leave for less and followed suit. They were ready to move on.
New batteries were placed in the handset one of the things that could be called "positive" in Revelation ZOMBIE scenario was that the abundance of resources was monumental; even if the whole world was chaotic human decline had been so sudden that almost everything remained intact. The various vehicles, now without owners, were in the streets in a disorderly fashion, new cars remained at dealerships waiting for an unlikely buyer showed up to purchase one of the latest models, but this would never happen again. Motorcycles, boats, planes, everything was at the disposal of them, but over time, rot and melt never to be seen.
Boats in marinas billowed over the gentle waves of the sea such that the ghost ships that remained invested waiting to unload their precious cargo. widespread fuel not missing and not be lacking for hundreds of years, it was when they realized that if they were really the last human conscious about the face of the earth, could count on unlimited resources. In any case this would be thought to other time than that. Await the appropriate time to reconnect the mobile phone. A GPS device for each of them was required, there was nothing wrong with making full use of existing technology while they could.
The arms industry ma
gazine was diverse and full of warlike news that would satisfy the most demanding consumers, but there was a problem with these artifacts had not been made to disproportionate hands and anatomically different, so in addition to hunting knives, little they could use, but Frost still had a human hand that it would be useful, needed just learning how to use it one hundred percent. Appropriated a Colt 45 and enough ammunition to that needed not look again for a long time.
In addition to the inevitable confrontation with the hordes of feebly affected walkers, there was the possibility of armed confrontation with those who certainly would come after her rare and precious blood, however, much higher than the concern he had with himself, remembered that Nadja was the prototype of the future dominant race on the planet, even if he had skipped all stages of development. Now was the creator and the creature trying to survive in an unknown world.
- What do you think, Nick Frost? - She was curious by the long silence that was not his habit, always admired the eloquence of talks between them and the silence was deafening.
- We are not alone and never will be! - Began his reason for explaining the long silence. - I admire all his experience and considerations that always does, but in addition to other humans who will certainly find (was sure, was a matter of time), there are still walkers and beyond the animals very soon occupy the uninhabited spaces and establish new areas. First are the dogs and cats hungry, after all kinds of rodents and insects urban and finally the animals beyond those borders that are now contained by civilization ... - That was an absolute certainty. - Our old world has expiration date. After that, there remain traces of the human race... - He concluded so theatrical much to illustrate what he meant to the future.
- That's right! And what will be our next step? - Was concerned to know where they were going and then walk aimlessly was not an option, they would be dead sooner than they might imagine. This idea sounded somewhat strange, because they were not sure they are fully alive, but was not completely dead.
- Our first destination is Lisbon in Portugal, the westernmost part of Europe... - He looked at her knowing not understand why they have to go so far. He was quick to give explanations. - Early on my mother forced me to recognize the places where they resided others with the same blood condition I, the nulls, it is estimated to be at least forty, but may be less at this stage of things ... - Martha always worried about the health of the child and in that particular case there were not many options Rare Blood donors, therefore forced the child to memorize names and addresses of those that one day you could save life and that time was now.
- So let's look for his "brothers", is it? - It was his turn to laugh with the unusual placement, had never thinking of others as his brothers, but he was wrong all what she had just said.
- Yes, we can put it that way! - He ran a hand through her hair mutant, now thicker and stronger than he remembered. - But first I got to make a call to someone!
- Removed the handset from within the backpack, he changed the battery and pressed a few buttons looking for a known name in Oliver's contact list. He found what he was looking for and if I have not great intimacy with that individual already had fought some conversations with him on other occasions. He pressed the call button.
- What do you call someone? - Nadja was furious, had delivered body and soul, so to speak, and not that it had been a great sacrifice for the man, or half man, sure that would be the last of the planet and now he made a connection I like to make an appointment for dinner. - The walking hiding Nick Frost? - Used the right tone of reprimand that was inherent. I was possessed.
- I was waiting for the right moment ... - A voice he recognized immediately answered on the other side.
- Yes... - Stuart Hershel, the former Corporation NOMAD vice president was shocked to receive a call from the phone of his former boss and friend and that he had provided that safe and saving passage to the base vacated in Antarctica, which served as refuge for the only survivors who had news until that moment. - Hello... Oliver - Still waiting for an answer and was confident that his friend had survived the toxic cloud; the thing could be less severe than it appeared.
- Oliver's dead... - He paused. - I'm Nick Frost, I'm sure you remember me ... - not so sure, but ventured a guess.
- Dr. Frost... But what a pleasant surprise... - I lied about that part, never imagined that he, the Element discoverer Frost and messenger of the Apocalypse had been bestowed with the gift of life, because so many had perished. - I did not expect that had survived! - Encouraged in continuing the conversation, now also understand why Yuri Antonov and his men made plans to send a heavily armed military expedition to the European continent.
- I'm sure you... - decided to enter the game of truth and lies that followed. - Yuri told me they were safe ... - I wanted to establish an intimacy with the Russian general who did not have, but could give an idea that there was a link of any kind between them.
- Yes, coming to the Progress station was a great idea and saved our lives! - She stepped forward to say where they were certain that Frost already knew and had no trouble spending the rest of the information. - We are not alone, almost all the bases are occupied by refugees from all over the world, it seems, were not the only ones with the idea of returning to the point of origin of the biological accident! - Concluded its opinion.
- Yes! It was a great idea, did not know there were so many survivors! - It had been a brilliant idea to stay in the rear of the toxic cloud and how far could predict it not been charged again on the site, although the drilling base to originate there. - I hope we will see us soon! - He said wondering if there would be any more relevant information. The woman who accompanied him looked on in absolute silence. Do not let out a single word.
- Yes Yes! Yuri has provided transportation for you, left here already a few hours! - He felt gratified to break the news to the scientist. I thought it would be a way to repay the kindness that had been provided by Oliver McQueen. - I regret that Oliver died ... He was a good man, though he was visibly wobbly in recent days... - I wanted to stay with the image of the man she had known and not what had become. Not sully friend's memory, even after death.
- I'll wait for the transport vehicle... come back to tell us soon... - Do not revere the memory of a man who had caused him so much damage, although their feelings now were different and less important with the things of the heart, could say to yourself that, like Nadja, was a deadly and lethal machine, but that would be for another time. - Stay right Mr. Hershel, I'm sure we'll see very soon... - I had obtained all the information he needed and now would draw a plan of action. He hung up then as Stuart still dismissed.
- Then? - She wanted to know details of the conversation, the parties that were captured were not enough to elucidate the mysterious phone call.
- Yuri Antonov and his men are coming to the hunt! They do not know of their existence! - He held her hand compatible and pulled her to follow him without delay. - If they find us we are lost and then yes, definitely extinct! - Lost the fear of walking in the open, was willing to face whatever was necessary to survive and any confrontation with ZOMBIES would be infinitely less important than fighting intelligent minds and predators that would drain their precious blood without mercy, like the animal was. Also, there was Nadja, the chimera that deceived death.
Yuri Antonov in person commanded the military expedition to find the whereabouts of Frost, was not sure where he might be hidden until the signal that both hoped was present on the monitor to its front. - Hello Dr. Frost... - were his only words to the miracle that both waited. The triangulation device properly served the purpose aboard military aircraft Tupolev Tu-126 a little distant repeatedly glittered signal that recognized as Drammen. - Gentlemen! The hunt is on! - Smiled at the men anxious waiting the time to take action, the only thing that hindered the operation were the quarantine clothes they needed to use.
Nick Frost and Nadja Romanov walked for hours knowing that would never be found by his executioners that terrestrial
immensity, but were sure that they were wrong at the very moment they heard the deafening noise of the powerful turboprop engines that flew over their heads. This was a huge problem and this situation needed to be reversed urgently.
- I do not understand how they found us! - I was furious not to anticipate that specific event.
- Where's the phone? - She knew why his enemies had no difficulty in finding them, were with a visible target on his back.
- Here it is! - Delivered to her with obvious surprise. - You're thinking about calling someone? - Joked the request she had just done.
- No, Nick Frost! - There was the scolding tone as if he were a spoiled child having to deliver their greatest treasure to her mother again. - This is why were able to find us! It has a GPS location chip and they know it! - He played on the foot and stomped repeatedly to Frost despair.
- You took us a chance to come back to communicate with the survivors! - I was furious, although it recognized that what she had done was essential if they were not found.
- I did not know you wanted to make new friends, Nick Frost! - He hated with all his strength when she scolded him that way. They did not exchange other words over the next few minutes. The phone had been a kind of raft; life was back over the floor.
Yuri saw the flashing to vanish completely, but he knew he was not far from his prey. He devised a plan to delineate a perimeter that considered satisfactory and spread his men in pairs making a sweep to reach the convergence point where the signal was captured last.
The strategy worked and the advanced group codenamed Charlie was the one who made the first sighting of the double mutant walked furtively. The alarm was given to the other participants in the operation that began closing leak containment circle.
- Control! We sighted the target! Is accompanied! - The leader of the group Charlie made the statement.
