《Apocalyptic Invasion》Chapter 9: Power?
Advertisement
Lisa returned to her senses as soon as she heard Alex's shout. She glanced at him and nodded, then ran inside to grab the bags.
Meanwhile, Alex went to check on his Hummer. There was a chance that these creatures might have damaged it. Then, the thing he dreaded happened. The wheels of the Hummer were pulled off.
"FUCK" He roared and went inside and started kicking repeatedly at the man's corpse.
"You fucker, asshole," he kept on kicking the body until he realized Lisa was standing beside him, clutching a bag and bat in her hands.
After he stared at Lisa for a moment, he took a deep breath and left the house.
When Lisa saw Alex going out of the house, she followed him. The moment she emerged from the house, she saw Alex's broken Hummer. After seeing the Hummer, she was shocked for a moment but recovered instantly.
The environment made her feel uncomfortable; there was an eerie silence, which was punctuated by a few growls of the undead.
"What should we do now?" she asked slowly as she approached him.
Turning around, Alex glanced at Lisa and said,
"Let's look around in the nearby house and stay there,", then he took his bag from her and put it on his back, and he started walking toward the nearby house. Lisa followed him.
This house looked similar to the one before, a two-story villa, but it was locked. He kicked on the door and broke the lock, but even after some time, no undead appeared.
After sighing in relief, he went inside. The house was fully furnished. Perhaps the owner was not in town when the apocalypse struck.
Lisa followed him inside as well. After finding a heavy table, Alex quickly blocked the door.
After that, he quickly checked around the house to make sure there were no other undead in the house, and fortunately, he didn't find any.

As he inhaled deeply, he slumped on the couch in the living room. Nevertheless, he was still surprised to discover that the man could control the zombies. Is it possible that people have gained some powers after the apocalypse?
A sudden thought struck his mind. He could see clearly in the night. Has his body also changed? Then he spotted Lisa, who was staring into his eyes on the other side of the couch.
As he tightened his grasp on her shoulders, he hurriedly inquired, "Did you find anything strange in your body?"
It startled her when Alex grabbed her shoulders, but she felt no pain. After hearing his question, she calmed down and answered, "I don't show but I can clearly see in the dark as if I have fresh eyes."
As Alex let go of her, he reflected. He and Lisa both have changes in their bodies. They can now see in the dark."
His eyes swept over Lisa as he questioned her, "Anything else?"
A thoughtful expression formed on her face before it suddenly changed to shock. "Now that you mentioned it, it is even more clear. When I killed...." Tears formed in her eyes, but she quickly wiped them away as she continued.
"The moment I hit my father with the bat, he was killed in one shot. I was so shocked that I didn't even realize it until now."
"Don't worry too much now. We'll discuss it in the morning. Take a rest, now," he said as he nodded at her.
"How about you?" she asked as she stood up.
"I'll be here, you can stay in that room," He said, pointing at a room on the ground floor.
As she walked into the room, she left the door ajar.

Alex's eyes swept across the wall clock, which noted 1 in the morning.
Closing his eyes, he lay back on the couch. Even though the undead were far away, he could pick out the sound of their growls.
After examining it, his body has become more sensitive to the surrounding environment. With one last sigh, he closed his eyes.
..............................................................
Meanwhile, a meeting was taking place in the capital. An approximately 10-person group sat around the table and discussed something.
A middle-aged man wearing military clothing casually sat at the table and asked, "What is the status of the base?".
The young man raised his arm and said, "General, it looks like we will capture it by morning."
That general nodded and asked, "Good, and how about the power users? Any new ones?"
"We have a report about a woman using Fire, but we will need to speak to her." That young man answered.
While mumbling to himself, the General nodded
"Fire huh"
