Khalifa: Queen in the Apocalypse

Chapter 102: The Other Survivors

The two went down well after the next morning, looking very nourished. They had special smiles on their faces and alluring charms, very sensual.

Hugo also had a different air to him—he wasn’t just lazy and sexy, he now looked… happy.

Khalifa, on the other hand, looked even more ethereal than before. Her skin looked even better than well nourished newborns, it was unbelievable.

Trina naturally frowned, eyes brewing with bitterness. In a poor attempt to hide her eyes raging with emotions, she looked down and didn’t look anymore, gripping her pants,.

Sid’s eyes stayed on Khalifa, gulping a little, before he forced his eyes away lest she be disliked for staring.

Other than Sid and Mrs. Adams, there were other victims who chose to stay. There was a teenage boy named Jojo and a pretty young woman named Lisa.

In order not to be kicked out, these three had tried very hard to make themselves useful. The only ones who did nothing were Mrs. Adams, who sat somewhere in a daze, and Kara, who had a dark expression throughout.

Sid, Lisa, and Jojo prepared the food for everyone, scouring all the connected houses for supplies. They had encountered two zombies along the way, but they had a strong mentality and didn’t want to be burdens, and they managed to deal with these zombies on their own.

This all happened early in the morning so by the time the couple had gone down, some food had been prepared by Sid (while the other two prepared the ingredients). Sid was unexpectedly a decent cook despite being a star.

There wasn’t any electricity anymore, but it so happened that they found some portable gas stove in the house, as someone was an avid camper.

Hence, despite the challenges, they managed to cook what was in the kitchen without a problem. The supply wasn’t much though, just enough for their growing group of seven.

The food was simple hot dog with omelet (that only had a little cheese and tomatoes), but to many who hadn’t eaten a hot meal for over a day, it was heaven.

Not to mention, the food was simple but there was a subtle quality to it.

Khalifa ate the simple meal and looked at Sid, impressed. "I didn’t expect you to be a decent cook."

Sid blushed under her admiring stare, trying to ignore all the kiss marks she had on her.

"I was poor before I got scouted." He told her, explaining some of his history, which earned him a beautiful smile.

Hugo scoffed at the exchange, though internally pondering if he should start learning to cook.

Kara, on the other side of the table, sneered. She was a fan of Sid too but he was polite to her no matter how she tried to comfort him!

Trina was silent all the way, looking at how warmly Hugo was looking at Khalifa and the visible marks they left on each other.

Khalifa ate happily and looked at the table as she served the dazed Mrs. Adams a plate. For better or for worse, their group would be traveling together at least for a few days.

She looked at them gently, very unlike the terrifying woman that killed a dozen men in a few seconds. "My name is Khalifa, this is Hugo, that is Trina and Kara." She said, "You may follow us, but we will not go out of our way to protect you."

In fact, if these people find good cars, she will kick out the two girls and stay with them instead. This way, Mrs. Adams could sleep comfortably in the back seats of her car.

It was the young woman, Lisa, who flinched and bowed her head. "Thank you for saving us…"

Jojo did the same, but then he looked at her with extreme admiration. "How did you…" he flailed his arms around mimicking whips and slashing, looking like the teenage boy that he was.

Everyone sans Hugo turned to look at her, curious.

"It’s an evolution. Some people should also be able to control elements, like most people turned to zombies."

This caught everyone’s interest and prayer, but some still recalled the horrors that came with it, dousing the excitement with depression.

"What’s happening to the world?" Lisa mumbled as she ate, confused about everything.

One day she was out with her boyfriend, the next moment he was trying to eat her. She managed to escape only to be held by these men.

Thankfully, it was only a day but she was so close to losing the virginity she had been guarding for their marriage.

Everything happened in just a few days, but it felt like her previous life was decades ago. "Why did zombies suddenly come out?" She asked out, and no one could answer her.

It was Jojo who began his suppositions. He was just caught by the gang and they didn’t have the time to victimize him yet.

"Did someone release a virus? A bioweapon?"

"It came so suddenly…" Sid whispered, gripping his palms. He was having a tour in the capital, heading to the next city when it happened. Everyone in his car turned to those creatures and thankfully they weren’t on a highway so the crash didn’t kill him.

He encountered a group of survivors, but clashed with the gangster group soon after. He was the only one that survived in his group, simply because of his face.

He was also very close to being molested. If they hadn’t encountered Khalifa last night, he’d definitely…

Khalifa and Hugo looked at each other and nodded. "Well, we’ll be going to a military zone. Hopefully they can take you there."

"Thank you!" The people said, and Sid couldn’t help but look at her filled with love, holding her hand in gratitude.

"If it weren’t for you, I can’t imagine how it would’ve been like for us." Then he paused at Mrs. Adams and looked down. "We weren’t able to .. help her. I’m sorry."

"We’ll leave in an hour."

Hugo, standing up, holding Khalifa’s hand, pushing out Sid’s. "Let’s exchange phone numbers in our Universal phones," he told her. "Just in case. Mine is upstairs."

Khalifa blinked and shrugged, following him to the stairs.

As soon as they neared his room though, he pulled her in.

He pushed her against the door, dipping his head to press his lips firmly on hers, tongue prying her mouth as soon as their lips touched.

They tasted each other for a minute before he parted with her, forehead bumping with hers.

"Sometimes I wish you weren’t so attractive."

And an unvoiced question followed, what do I do to keep you just for myself.
