The End Of Life Chapter 60
Advertisement
Standing on the balcony, Mark looked at the rising sun. He couldn't sleep properly with the thought of something happening to Suzie as he slept. He looked at the sun and the peaceful surroundings. There wasn't a single sound around him, and it felt like he was the only person left in the world.
He snapped out of his thoughts as he heard the door knock. He looked back and noticed David opening the main door. Mark already knew who, based on the footsteps he heard. It surprised him, how he could hear them, and felt like his senses got heightened. Deciding to test this strange phenomenon later, he looked at Ray and Jacob who entered the house.
"Ah! Uncle, you are here already. So early." Going into the living room once again. He noticed the chart in his hands.
"Yes, I figured you would want this quickly. So I had the person work the whole night and prepare this map for you." Spreading the map on the floor. The details on the map amazed Mark. Everything was pinpoint. It had everything included from the classes to the restroom and also the storage room. They divided the entire map into 2 parts, with each part representing a floor.
"He did an outstanding job with the map," said David from the side. Ray smiled and replied, "Well, the man worked there for over a decade. So he knows everything about the school that one needs to know."
Mark continued to observe the map, thinking of ways to get inside. He then looked at Ray and said, "Alright, I will think of a plan. Meanwhile, I need you to go back to your base and round up everyone. Search for vehicles to travel in before noon. That is when we move out."

"Why cars?" asked Jacob.
"We will go to the military camp after this. So if you want to tag along you can."
Ray nodded and stood up. He looked at Jacob before making his way towards the door with him. As they exited the house, Mark said, "Oh! And I need a fast bike." Hearing him, David was confused, but Ray nodded and closed the door.
As the guests exited the room, David turned towards Mark and asked, "Why the bike?" Mark replied as he continued to look at the map, "Cause I need a vehicle to go there."
Hearing his reply David got confused and said, "Don't we have the jeep." but as soon as he said that, he realized a part of Mark's plans and shouted, "Mark are you planning to go there alone? You must be crazy."
"That's right, I am doing this alone. I need you to drive the jeep and lead these people to a place. After I am done saving Suzie, I will meet up with you and we can continue forward."
"No, Mark. That's too dangerous for even you. You can't just go against an entire camp of underground goons." shaking his head. He knew about Mark's excellent gun marksmanship. But he still felt it would only invite trouble if he goes alone.
"No. it's better only if I go. I can make my way in quietly and get her out. I am not dumb enough to face an entire camp. I know my abilities. And it would be risky to bring the group with us there. You need to be with them and go on a safer path, I am going to draw on the city map. I will meet you at that point and we can go to the military camp from there."

Listening to Mark, David knew this was the right decision. He looked at Mark's serious gaze; he knew nothing would change his decision and simply gave up. He went into his room and saw his daughter still sleeping peacefully and let her be.
After dropping her in the camp, he didn't know for how long it will be to meet her again or if he will ever meet her again. But his heart remained calm as the decision he took was the right one. He didn't want her to risk her life and hoped to stay inside the camp, protected. He slowly caressed her hair with a smile.
Mark was sitting on the floor looking at the map before him. It wrinkled his eyebrows as he was thinking of a way to get in. He looked at all the possibilities and couldn't come up with one solid plan. As he continued to think of ways, he noticed something particular on the 2 sides of the wall and smiled.
"This would be perfect."

ROACH- rising pestilence
A weary mind awakens in an unfamiliar body, lost, confused, scared, and very far from home. He doesn't know where he is, he isn't sure what he may become, and his stomach growls hungrily. But he knows one thing. He must feed and he isn't too bothered on how, only when. Through his struggles to survive trying to take his place in this world. It, the world will be forever changed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My first story here so let's do it! hopefully with flying colors. (This story is not about an insect that goes on an edgelord, death rampage, so those who came for that, know now what you are reading and stop rating down thx, still, some murder and mayhem is involved) Feel free to critique, I will be checking on reviews and comments every now and then to see what others think of my writing and how I might adjust it in the future. (although I'm also doing this for fun so don't get your knickers in a twist if things don't change to your liking). (Know that even if you comment/review that doesn't mean I will respond or that I will take your advice, after all, I too have my own preferences). A chapter tends to come out every fortnight, however sometimes it may be sooner or later, It depends on how lazy I'm feeling or how busy I am. Ps. A friend of mine drew the cover art, appreciate its homebrew goodness. PPs. serious readers may want to read the author's notes as well. PPPs. If you rate down please say why, I want info, not merely ratings that don't tell me anything, preferably in comments, so I can try to best satisfy my audience, or at the very least understand their reasons.
