Java Island, New Java City.
Adam watched as Daisy went with the group of people heading to Australia, something about making her stronger and helping humanity. Well, at least that was what he thought about it on the surface.
In all honesty, he just did not want Daisy to see what he had become and make her sad, as he would die in a slow and gruesome death. There was no way he would let the people he cared about see him in such a manner.
Adam thought he had more time, but unexpectedly, he felt something inside of him started to change on the exact day she left for her journey. Even the last syringe he injected himself, which was supposed to give him 3 more days, appeared to not be working.
Black colored blood gushed out of his ears and nose, as pain wrecked his body from inside out. Not wanting anyone to see him in such condition, Adam decided to run out of New Java City on that very same day, leaving his father and friends behind.
Adam was devastated by the pain he felt physically and wrecked by the agony sprouted in him emotionally. All of this was because of one single thing, something that shouldn't have happened. Alas, it had happened.
He just ran and ran ceaselessly, without any goal or even direction. Adam knew that the corruption power from the black liquid would soon emerge and take control of his body, as it slowly changed his body turning his skin darkish.
After almost a day of continuous running, he stopped his tracks and looked around, Adam found himself returning to Jakarta, the city he grew up in. Seeing the sight in his surroundings, he could not help but reminisce about his memories in this city.
Ever since all the Indonesian survivors had left for the New Java City, this former capital of Indonesia had become the biggest zombie infested city in the country. Looking at the wide clearing filled with multitude zombies before him, Adam ran into the city without any concern in his life whatsoever.
But surprisingly, none of the zombies were able to stop him, or even block him. In fact, they appeared to be scared of Adam as they hurriedly took quite a distance from him, running away.
As he entered the lifeless city, Adam unconsciously made his way to the various places he had memory of, trying to grasp whatever was still left of his blurring consciousness and humanity. He could tell the changes brought by the black liquid caused him to forget those places, those precious memories that proved he was human.
Stopping for a moment, Adam realized he had arrived in his old home. He then proceeded to enter his childhood house, the place where he grew up. As he sat on the dusty couch in the living room, fear began to take over and hopelessness flooded Adam's entire being.
The next day was the third day since the last time he injected the syringe, Adam could tell he would not survive without the black liquid. Truly an irony. The thing inside of him started to take over, as he perceived his surroundings turning blurry.
However, the piercing morning light shining on him gave him the wake-up call, as Adam regained the persistence to not give up no matter what. He swiftly rose up and thought of a way that would probably help his situation.
Moments later, an idea crossed his mind, but one that was not so good for him. However, Adam knew he could not afford to be picky in his current situation. Therefore, he immediately made up his mind and took action.
Adam quickly left his old house and searched around the city. As he moved through many dark and abandoned buildings, which were crowded by countless zombies and mutated beasts. He kept killing them until he finally found it, the possible solution to his problem. A dark cocoon storing a black zombie that hadn't yet matured.
Without much thinking, Adam immediately approached the cocoon and tore it open. He then fought and killed the black zombie with his newfound power. He then took the zombie's bones apart and began drinking every drop of liquid inside its bone.
Not knowing if it would work or not, Adam just continued his hunt as he searched for more of these black zombie cocoons for days. With each day passed, he kept getting stronger and stronger as he killed more and more black zombies and drank their liquid.
Although it looked like he was able to stop the growth of the thing inside of him, deep down inside, Adam knew that he was only delaying the inevitable. But despite that, he kept relentlessly trying as he still wanted to see the smile of a certain person again.
Weeks later, Adam coincidentally found the remains of the Heavenly Gate who gathered in the capital city while he did his usual hunt. Seeing this group of people, the rage he felt towards the organization for killing his friends caused him to run amok and kill most of them.
The few remaining people who managed to survive Adam's onslaught told him about their leader's order to sail back to the Middle East. That was the reason Adam decided to force the surviving ones to take him there.
At first, the main objective he went to the Middle East was to take revenge, to kill as many of those lunatics as possible. However, the situation said otherwise as Adam found out the chemist, who told him about the possibility of curing him.
Of course, Adam would not believe the words of the enemy easily, thus he went ahead and did his initial goal. Hundreds of Heavenly Gate members were sacrificed and died in the process of capturing him.
Since then, he truly wished to die and be forgotten as he was already captured in the enemy's hands, but the chemist had his own way to keep him alive, denying Adam's desire to end his pitiful life.
Weeks by weeks passed, and the constant experiment he had gone through made Adam unable to differentiate between reality and dream. It was only the dream of his friends, especially Daisy that kept him going through the torture.
Weeks quickly turned into months, and when he thought his body was at the end of its limit, the chemist decided to give something new for him.
"Adam.. I have a very big surprise for you!" the chemist said, his expression elated.
The chemist immediately injected the syringe into him, the color of the liquid clearly showed it was something different; and the moment it flowed through his body, Adam began having a different kind of dream. Inside it, he saw the back figure of a man with stell-like muscles and golden armor.
On the outside, it appeared that the mysterious stuff the chemist gave to Adam caused the thing inside him to evolve as Adam's body slowly turned to reddish black. Meanwhile, violent rage and despair quickly took over his mind.
Kill.
That was the only thing Adam could think in his mind. This thought kept going until one moment he only knew he was in a painful and difficult fight until he felt a jolt in his head, knocking into his mind and absolving the haziness over his consciousness.
"Adam.. look… at me.. I..ts.. me... Daisy… rem...ber?"
A figure of a girl that felt like a distant past was standing in front of him, staring into his eyes with a concerned look in her face. The sight of this girl caused his body and mind to feel something else other than anger and despair.
His arms unconsciously moved and grabbed the beautiful thing in front of him. Just a little twist and the beautiful thing would break like a fragile vase. Something told him to do that, but his body and mind were struggling and fighting against it.
He pulled the beautiful figure close to him and looked at her closely. In her hair tied a yellow flower pin, a kind of flower that he recognized dearly, a daisy flower.
That was when the buried, precious memories were crashing into him as his mind started to fight back, his willpower was blazing. The thing, the darkness all over his body being dragged inside as his body started to change.
The bright red color over him began to recede as his skin slowly returned to normal and softened. The bulging veins were shrinking until nothing left in the sight. His massive figure slowly got smaller.
However, Adam still didn't let go of the beautiful figure in his arms, holding it tight as if it was his life. And then, he passed out.
