《Apocalypse redone》Here we go again
Advertisement
In the last haven Gabriel was being torn limb by limb by countless tentacles, teeth and claws. The screams of agony of the only living human on the planet were heard loud and clear in the infernal landscape in which the earth had been transformed. He didn't have enough stamina to use his mutations to escape this situation. Years of living in the shadows fearful of the aberrations that now dominated the planet had left him exhausted and now he could finally close his eyes. With one last scream, humanity was completely eradicated.
-What . . . holy shit! I am alive? - He said while waking up in his apartment in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He jumped up and examined his body in search of injuries. Red hair, pale skin without any scar and a scrawny body, this was his self from 10 years ago.
-My body was healed and even my dick is back- He exclaimed with joy feeling his erection.While his 20 year old body was quite small and fragile at least it was complete unlike the previous one.
-Ok ok ok calm down. . .what the fuck happened-
He grabbed his phone and noticed the date. A drop of cold sweat ran through his forehead as he remembered how the apocalypse begun.
-Shit I only have 30 minutes before everything goes to hell-
The cause of the end of the world was called Gehenna. It was never known if it was a germ, a virus, a parasite or a curse. The little that is known that on March 25, 2019 it infected all the mammals of the planet and only 1% of the population was immune to this. The first effects were similar to those of a typical zombie virus but over time these creatures mutated to a ridiculous degree. The only thing that gave a slight hope was that the immune could mutate and evolve along with the infected, an arms race that Gabriel planned to win this time.
At 6 o'clock the first infected appeared and in a matter of minutes the civilization as we know it had fallen. The survivor had little time to prepare but it was better than nothing.
He had 24 hours before the electricity and the internet were cut, 48 before the gas and water ran out and a month before Buenos Aires became uninhabitable. This two-day period was fundamental to securing his apartment building and make it his initial base. In his past life he had the misfortune of not having been in his home at the time of the apocalypse but now he had a huge advantage if he knew how to play his cards.

First Gabriel must secure water, the most important resources for a human being. He filled the bathtub and the sink in the kitchen, with that he would have at least 30 days of drinking water. Taking into account his long-term plans, that was more than enough since in one week he expected to be living in a much safer place with more resources.
While his containers were filled he started doing the second most important thing, getting information. On his smartphone he began to download dozens of documents of various subjects like chemistry, biological, physics and metallurgy alson detailed maps of the whole country, information on the weather, etc. In his previous life he wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed but now he would make sure to safeguard all that fundamental information. Besides that would give him something to study during those long nights alone.
But the most important thing that he downloaded was a whole copy of the second season of the series "Ara ara ara". While it seemed totally unnecessary, it was the cornerstone on his long-term plan. Thanks to this, he could save countless problems and increase his chances of saving humanity. With his smartphone fully charged he had 3 days of battery giving a total of 4 days of access to the library of Alexandria.
Third, he should get a way to defend himself. The first stage of the infected was not problematic if you know how to deal with it. These zombies are slow and had a force equivalent to a normal human. Wearing several pants, gloves and shirts at the same time is enough to resist a few bites.
Then Gabriel needed a way to make some damage but since he was in Argentina there were several problems. Firearms were extremely rare and they made to much noise so they were useless. Maybe to deal with the most problematic types of infected would be effective but only large calibers like .45 and getting that would be an almost impossible task. If we begin to add disadvantages such as maintenance and the fact of finding not only ammunition but also it has to be of the right caliber, it was fundamental to use other options.

He remove one leg of the table in his dining room, the furniture was quite cheap so breaking it was pretty easy. The piece of wood had the right weight and form to become a very efficient club. He just needed to add some tape to have a better grip and that's it,Gabriel had a pretty decent weapon. Unfortunately in this country sports like baseball or hockey were not very popular so this was the best substitute he had for now.
Homemade club
Great weapon to smash regular infected heads but it has low durability.
Finally he needed a way to enter the other departments to eventually clean the entire building. Due to his previous life he knew how to do it with a couple of simple hairpins and his girlfriend had left a few in home. On this date only a few days ago they had moved together but she had to make a trip to visit her family. If his memory was correct she was in the middle of her flight when the apocalypse began.
Save her was a lost cause and could not even communicate with her to say goodbye a last time. However, he had already had a decade to overcome his death and now he had more important things to worry about.
-Rest in peace Alma,if only I had returned a couple of hours earlier this would be another story-
After dedicating those words he heard the sound of several cars crashing on the street, as bells in new year this chaotic symphony expressed the beginning of a new era.
-I need to clean this place before a week and then go to that secret bunker-
Prepared with his homemade weapon, his clothes armor, the lockpicks and a kitchen knife in his belt Gabriel left his apartment ready to begin the conquest of this building. There were three other apartments in his floor and the first stage of the infected wasn't physically strong, fast and smart so they were basically fish in a barrel.
He walked through the corridors and put his ear on the door of the neighbor's apartment. Inside he could hear the static of a television but more important the distinctive moan that zombies made. Making use of his skills gained in his other life Gabriel forced the lock, jumped back and prepared the club.
A tall figure emerged slowly from the doorway, it was a man about 40 years old. His skin was pale like the moon and his bloodshot eyes made it clear that he was infected with Gehenna. The first stage of the infected ones were very similar to generic George Romero zombies but if they got together in a large group they could become a problem.
The abomination slowly began to walk towards its prey and Gabriel without any remorse smash his head. A quick and precise blow without an ounce of pity, sadly his current body was already agitated after doing that simple physical effort .This cold blood was a product of years surviving in the apocalypse. Some time ago he came to the conclusion that ending the life of an infected person is the best thing you can do to them.
However before examining the body the survivor kept his guard and searched the rest of the department looking for more infected. You never lower your guard in this new world if you wanted stay alive.
Once he made sure that nothing could surprise him he did something that many consider unthinkable. He grabbed the kitchen knife he had and made a deep cut in the chest of that corpse and then he started to look for something. After a few seconds he finally pulled out his hand and in it was the key to human evolution: A Hell Crystal.
Level 1 Hell Crystal
Gives experience to level up, useful only in the first stage of evolution.
