Life in the Jungle.

[OldGreenGrolar]

Chapter 1: To the jungle.





“I guess this is our last day together kiddo”. Dave Chen, wearing a yellow singlet and grey shorts was standing beside his 18 year old step daughter with long blonde hair and green eyes named Lisa, who was the same height as he is. Both of them were hanging out in the garden, which was of moderate size. She was wearing an emerald green dress and pink high heels as well as gloss on her lips. In the garden, there were different types of plants and flowers present one of them was a rose bush which gave out plenty of red and white roses.



While watching the birds while feeding them together by throwing bird seed and pieces of raw meat on the ground. Some birds were feeding peacefully together side by side, while others like the blue jays were fighting aggressively and bullying other birds in the garden. Looking at the rosebush, Dave said, “I used to cut off a rose stem every day to give to your mother. Anyway, do you know when your boyfriend is picking you up?”



“He will be coming in an hour, Dave. My stuff is already packed up and ready to go”.



“That is good to know. I was worried for a while that he might not turn up but again I know you are wise enough to choose your boyfriend as you are street smart just like your mom”.



“So what do you plan to do after I am gone?”



“After you are gone, I will be selling this house. Don’t worry, I will deposit half the money in your bank account. I know you have a job waiting for you and are capable of looking after yourself but that money is an extra security blanket”, Dave said with a wink.





“Thanks, Dave, you are the best step father”, smiled Lisa with her vulpine grin. “Shall I call you Tattletale instead”, laugh Dave. You look so much like her and that is why I help your mother name you”.



“My own father abandoned me and never gave even named me”, Lisa sulked “but again what is done is done. You are probably obsessed with Worm right?”



“I guess I am”. The fourty one-year-old man could not stop talking about Worm day and night at one point in his life two years ago until his step daughter literally told him to shut up. ”My favourite Undersider has always been Lisa as she reminds me of both your mother and yourself".



“And where do you plan to go after I am gone?” Lisa smirked at her beloved step father.



“To Glacier National Park where the Penisula Alaskan grizzly bears and glacier bears live away from the hustle and bustle of city live”. Dave ignored the smirk on his step daughter’s face, knowing that she was trying to stir him up for the fun of it which she does from time to time. Despite having a strong loving relationship, she enjoys making fun of him.





“Planning to find a girfriend there?” Lisa asked with a smug look on her face. “It is not the best place to find one as it is quite over there”.



“Cheeky as ever aren’t you just like your mother but no way. I would rather live on my own. Your mother is the last woman I have ever been in a relationship with”.



An hour later, a fluorescent yellow green Subaru arrived and stopped in front of the house at the driveway. Out came a tall dark and handsome 18 year old boy. “Greetings Sir. My name is Markus”, the tall dark boy wearing a yellow cap, dark glasses, and an orange t shirt, and hazel basketball shorts said as he walked up to Dave and shoke his hand. Weather he liked the boy or not, the middle age Asian man did not express it but he always respected his step daughter’s decision in who she hangs out with and dates.



“Dave will be fine”, the middle age man returned the hand shake and smiled. “I don’t demand much. Lisa is wise enough to make her own decisions. I have just one request. Treat her with love and look after her at all times”.



“See you later, Dave”, said Lisa. Markus was already helping Lisa pack her stuff in his car.



“Take care, kiddo. Enjoy your college life. You are only young once”, Dave said.



The race car drove off out of Boston to Chicago as he waved goodbye to both his step daughter and her boyfriend. After watching the car drive off, Dave walked to him room to get his stuff which was already packed to move them into his campervan before putting up his house up for sale. Despite being relatively small size, he possessed great strength and endurance as he had grew up practicing shaolin kung fu and was able to move all his belongings into his campervan by himself although he could hire someone to help him move them if he wanted to.



Since the house was advertised for an affordable price was, it was sold relatively quickly in only three weeks. This freed Dave up to off into the forest a few hours before the new owners arrived. On the way to Glacier National Park, he drove through Toronto and remembering his promise to his step daughter, he deposited half the money in Lisa’s bank account before filling up his campervan with patrol and moving on after purchasing medium size tin cans of extra petrol.



In the forest, Dave saw the lake farmer dragonflies flying around. Unlike the green darners of the USA, the males did not fight among themselves. However, they were still beautiful insects to behold.



The forest was filled with American black bears, kemorde bears, cougars, and wolves as well as birds. Dave took out his fishing rod and did some fishing. Feeling hungry he decided to cook them for a bbq. He had a big appetite despite being a relatively small man and after eating, he took a nap before driving on to Glacier National Park.

A/N: On second thought, this story has a few chapters which focuses on animals. Therefore, the focus of this story will be on Dave's interactions with animals infected by viruses.

[OldGreenGrolar]

Chapter 2: Glacier National Park.



The phone beep and a Dave Chen received a text message. “Hi Dave, I have reached my destination in Chicago. I hope you are having a good time heading off to Glacier National Park, which is probably away given the fact in is much further from the house you sold off. Sorry I took three days to reply as I was busy settling down. You are more like a father to me than my real dad will ever be. Thanks for the money deposited in my bank account. You always keep your word. With love from Your Step daughter, Lisa”. Smiling as he read the message on his phone which is now back in network coverage area, he was glad his stepdaughter is alright and enjoying herself. He took pleasure with his job as a stepfather.



Thinking about his success while smiling sends a reply. “No worries, Lisa. Just look after yourself and have fun. You are only young once”. The drive was a long one, and it took weeks driving through the forest and roads. Thankfully, the amount of tin cans with patrol were sufficient for Dave to continue his journey without spending much money. He had stopped by a few countrysides with people in there. Most of them were friendly, and they gave him food and water to go on his way.



The worse case scenario he briefly stops at an unknown town to take a rest. He came out of his campervan which was parked near an Oak tree not too far from a few rough-looking men with tattoos who seem to be minding their own business. Looking into the sky, Dave Chen saw a pair of robins chasing a blue jay with a bluish green egg in its mouth. It seems the latter had stolen the egg of the brown and red pair, inciting anger in them. While reaching out in his left pocket to pull out his phone to take a picture of the birds, he was pushed hard to the ground before his hand got into his pocket.



Falling to the ground on his knees, he heard a voice say, “This is not your country little Asian man, you have overstayed your welcome! There are too many of your kind in Toronto and Boston!”.



Avoiding another kick using his agility, he turned around only to see five men. One 6ft 2 inch big and burly man with red hair and green eyes looking like a rougher version of Alan Barnes from Worm. The second man was a 5ft 10 inch man was lanky with brown hair and brown eyes, the third man was 5 ft 9 inch with dark blond hair and blue-green eyes, the fourth man was exactly like the third man, probably his twin brother and hair of similar colour but with hazel eyes, and finally their leader who was the same height as Dave himself had brown hair and brown eyes looking almost exactly like Hucklebilly from an old movie in 2001 called ‘Maniacs’. “We have been watching from the corner of our eyes. Today, we will knock you out and feed you to the birds”.



Knowing he was outnumbered five to one, looking around for avenues to escape, before figuring out that the best form of attack is defense as they had no guns, Dave decided to talk back."Why aren’t you able to take out one Asian man alone, come and fight me one on one if you think you are so great".



“You ask for it!” The big burly red head came rushing towards him like a bull.



Dave evaded him like a matador before leaping into the air and landing his right foot on the back of his much larger opponent’s head knocking him out. “You all all size but no brains. Hai ya!” Pretending to be Bruce Lee to mock the rednecks. “Most country people are nice to me, why can’t you just be that way. I did nothing to you. Could have just let me go in peace but no you guys just had to.............”.



The leader of the five charged at Dave before he could finished his sentence. “I will kill you, scum!”



Knowing his opponent is not as strong as the former, he knocked him out with a punch in the nose. The other three took off in different directions probably to get their guns. Dave quickly made his escape to his campervan and drove off just as he heard guns shots. “Phew, what a day!” he said to himself.



The rest of the journey lasted for a few more months as he would continue driving without stopping until he was really tired. Stopping only to meditate once back on the main road which was surprisingly quite, Dave thought about the animals he would encounter on Glacier National Park. “At least the animals are more loyal than most people are”, he thought to himself while closing his eyes trying to envision what his destination would be like.



Other thoughts came to his mind such as the day his best friend cheated on him with his ex wife which was months before they both took off. He has never heard from them since although they were rumours from friends that they were in Toronto and have a son together but it did not worry him even when he drove pass that town. Whatever is gone is gone.



Finally reaching the border of Alaska months later, Dave was glad to be in North American territory once again. Having to drive through a small town only known as Sitka as it was written on a sign where it’s name was written and also mentioned on his telephone GPS, he breathed a sigh of relieve. Stopping by in front of the patrol station now that his patrol fuel is almost empty, buying more tin cans of petrol and gas before filling up his engine once more, Dave continued his journey to Glacier National Park which did not take long as he knew not only how to read maps but to follow directions on the road signs.



Upon reaching his destination, finding a caravan park, he saw a middle age man probably a few inches taller than him who was cleaning his white campervan with a wet sponge. There was a red pail not too far from his feet and he had brown hair and green eyes.



“Good day mate”. He called out to Dave just as he stopped his green campervan in front of the white campervan whinnying down his window to ask for directions. “You must be knew here and if you are looking for a place to settle down. There is a parking spot not too far down there”. Pointing at the empty spot which was only a hundred metres away. “My name is Tim and this has been my home for a while”. Walking towards Dave’s campervan window, he offered a handshake which was returned.



“Thank you, Tim. My name is Dave. It is great to meet you”. Letting go of Tim’s hand and whining up the window, he drove his green campervan towards the empty parking spot but not before taking quick glances at the campervans and other people on the way, before gerring off the driver’s seat and heading towards the back part of his campervan though a door which connects the driver’s section to the sleeping section ignoring the chatting from his neighbours which was going on around him.



Arranging the things in his campervan and setting up the mattress and pillows as well as placing the tin cans which he bought from the petrol shop in a corner after pressing a button which created and opening on the roof of his campervan to let in fresh air but with a netting to prevent insects especially flies and mosquitoes from getting in, he feel asleep.



Waking up several hours later, with the sun still out, he looked up google to find interesting places to go. Discovering that the mountain range in the area was part of the Rocky Mountains in which consist of Clark range, Lewis range, Livingston range with its highest peak being Mt Cleveland which is about 10479 ft tall, remembering that the best chance to find a glacier bear which is very rare, only a hundred individuals excluding the number of cubs being alive, he decided to do some hiking tomorrow. In the meantime, he would just do some fishing once more.



Cooking fish not only keeps one healthy but it also helps one burn fat and there would be plenty of salmon in the rivers but there would also be plenty of Alaskan brown bears which were larger than the interior grizzly bears at Yellowstone Park which Dave had visited with his ex wife years ago during their honeymoon.



Opening the back door of his campervan. Dave took his fishing rod and one of his pails to go fishing at the river which was 500 metres away from the caravan park. Finding a spot without any bears, he managed to catch ten fishes before a huge male Alaskan brown bear which appeared out of nowhere came to investigate.



With a 1000 pound animal which was much stronger than you coming towards you, the first instinct would be to run, however, having done his homework on bears, knowing it is a bad idea to run from one as despite their bulky built, that bear Is much faster and more agile than one gives credit for. Dave knee that even his martial arts skills, he would be no match for an animal with great brute strength and would definately catch him should he attempt to run, he threw one of his fish towards the bear before making good his escape backing away slowly watching the big brown animal eat one of his quarry.

[OldGreenGrolar]

Chapter 3: Hiking.



Waking up early in the morning the next day, Dave drove out of the caravan park towards Clark Range, stopping just a few hundred metres from the Rocky Mountain Range. Stepping out, he ate a salmon which he grilled on the bbq stove yesterday, enjoying its taste, not forgetting he sacrificed one to escape from an Alaskan brown bear. Perhaps he should have brought along a fun, but no he did not want to shoot bears which are his favourite land animals, animals whose life he values and did not want them to become extinct as with other animals. There are some animals like salmon and chicken which are meant to be eaten while others like bears, elephants, cougars, wolves, eagles, whales, dolphins, and plenty of other wildlife which are meant to be wild and free. While not being a vegetarian, Dave is certainly smart enough to figure this out.



Fishing the remains of his salmon which would give him plenty of energy for hiking, taking his knapsack and a huge bottle of water, he begins hiking up the mountain after making sure his campervan was properly locked. Climbing up the mountain might not be easy, but all his training in Shaolin Kung fu as a teenager certainly helped, and he never forgot to stretch his body before any form of exercise.



Midway, he stopped and sat down on a rock to rest. It was afternoon, and the sun was shinning at its peak. Taking out a pair on sunglasses and putting them over his eyes, he continued his hiking until he spotted the greyish blue figures. They were no other than a mother glacier bear and her four cubs. Climbing up a tree nearby, the cubs were playing while the mother was eating some fruit or acorn which had fallen off the tree. His knowledge on plants wasn’t as great as that of his knowledge on animals, but he definitely knows what an acorn is.



Taking out his phone slowly from his left pocket on his navy grey shorts, Dave attempted to take a picture of the bears. Unfortunately, the wind change direction allowing the bears to smell him causing them to take off in a flash. Feeling he had missed out on a rare opportunity, he continued hiking further up. His second encounter with another glacier bear was with a huge male bear weighing 474 pounds at most. It too had greyish blue fur and a rare sight to behold, its powerful forelimbs and claws could do damage to even the strongest man in the world not to mention it could go toe to toe with a tiger or lion should they live in the same habitat. Its teeth and jaws should not be forgotten too, despite its cute and cuddly look. Anyway, to make a long story short, that glacier bear disappeared into thin air just as quickly as it had appeared. Dave never encountered another glacier bear for the rest of the day.



Heading down the mountains was definately easier than hiking upwards. Reaching the foot of the mountain, please that his campervan was still intact, he opened the back door and closed it before laying down his backpack, opening up the esky and taking out a second bottle of water to quench his thirst. Opening up his comic book called ‘Worm Fanfiction’ which was once a Madison Clement’s fanfiction which he helped published, he felt proud of himself. Madison reminded him of his cutesy ex back in University with similar behaviour. They dated all the way till after graduation when his part Spanish ex decided to go to Spain for a holiday, never to return to him, an abrupt breakup indeed.



In the middle of reading the comic, the phone beep again and he receive a text from his step daughter again. “Hello Dave. I believe you have reached Glacier National Park. Don’t get the bears pissed off. Take care”. Smiling and about to return the next message, a strange text message from an unknown phone number pop up: "A strange disease has come up world wide. If you are living in the city, do not leave home, there will be a curfew starting till today and all are expected to return home by eight o clock at night. Anyone found wandering the streets will be arrested. Please buy what you need and head back home as soon as possible. For more information please watch the news of television or YouTube”.



Turning on the television, Dave saw a scientist injecting a rabbit in a laboratory which caused it to go savage. The scene quickly changed and showed people who had contracted the disease in a hotel which had been locked preventing anyone from escaping. The people inside were behaving savagely and attacking each other. This scene was enough to cause most people to run home and lock their doors.



Dave proceeded to receive another text from his stepdaughter: "Hi Dave. Just want to tell you that I am living with my boyfriend and we are safe. No matter what happens please do not come to the city, it is in chaos at the moment. There are riots going on. Take care".



Just as he finished reading the text message, he saw a mob of youth on the television protesting. “We do not want a lockdown. This is a free country and we will do as it please. Life is too short for a lockdown, we want to party hard. Nobody stands in our way and we will do whatever we want like it or not. We are young and FREE!” Dave watched as the youth clashed with the cops and were eventually taken down with tasers and tear gas, scattering the mob, arresting some of them (a few 20 year olds).



Dave send back a text message to his stepdaughter which said, “I know what to do. In the meantime, look after yourself and stay safe. I love you”. Driving back to the caravan park, parking in his favourite spot, taking a change of clothes, and heading towards the shower, he came out refreshed before having dinner. It was now ten minutes to seven and he kept his television on as instructed by another text message as there will be more news at eight all the way till twelve o clock.

[OldGreenGrolar]

Chapter 4: More news.

“The last male polar has recently killed a male barren ground grizzly bear during mating season before taking a swim in the ocean attempting to attack a beluga calf which was separated from its family. Unfortunately, he was killed by a bull orca, the only animal a male polar bear truly fears. The beluga calf manage to get away sensing his family who were calling from a far. This is an extremely rare incident shocking Dave as he had excepted the beluga calf to be the preferred target.

The only polar bears remaining are females and they have all mated with the male barren ground grizzlies. It seems our polar bears will live on in their decedents the grolar from now on. In fact I almost forgot to mention the ABC or Sitka brown bears which were once polars which have eventually turned back to brown bears”, the same reporter who appeared on television said. “In addition, a male Ussuri brown bear had a bad day and killed a male Siberian tiger which refused to back down from his kill. This tiger is one of Dale’s decedent who is notorious for killing female Ussuri brown bears and their cubs. Strange things are going on in the wild”. The reporter continued to speak for the next ten minutes before eight o‘ clock.

“I wished I had at least touch a polar bear”, Dave Chen who loves polar bears mumbled to himself while feasting on his grilled salmon which he had just heated up please that he will not have to go looking for food for a while. “I hope nothing will happen to the glacier bears as their breeding with American Black bears can easily wiped them out”.

Finally hitting eight o’clock, the news about the city returned. “The humans locked up in Hotel Hybrid have ran amok but they are confined well for now as our robots are keeping them tightly lock up. I am glad our police now work with robots who take on the more dangerous tasks minimising human casualty. The youths who caused the riot have been arrested and locked away in prison thanks to our robots once again. They are all led by Alpha JIBO, who controls all our robots worldwide. See you again at twelve o’clock. Enjoy sitting home and spend your time with your families, friends, or whoever you are with”. The reporter winked her left eye before the news ended.

“That was bizarre”. Dave thought you himself as he taking out his basin filled with dishes with Earth Choice dishing washing liquid to the tap nearby for cleaning.

“Hello Dave. How was your day?” Tim asked.

Not wanting to talk, yet not wanting to offend his neighbour, he greeted the man who helped him find his parking spot yesterday. “I am fine, Tim. I am just washing my dishes”.

“Did you watch the news? There has been bizarre stuff happening both in the wild and Chicago City”.

“Yeah. There is plenty of stuff going on”.

“You look like you have a lot on your mind. Would you like to have a yarn?”

“No thanks. There is nothing I can’t do on my own”. Dave who has finally finished washing his dishes walked back to his campervan.

That was when the Maniacs film came on. The scenes where Hucklebilly came into the picture reminded Dave about the redneck leader he had knocked out months ago. “I wonder if these rednecks are cannibals. It would be scary indeed”. This thought came to mind as soon as he saw the teenagers who entered a strange countryside get murdered by the locals who are actually canibals.

Preparing his desert which consist of blueberry jam with brown bread and strawberry ice cream during the advertisement, Dave returned to his bed to sit down and watch the film resume only for it to be interrupted again by news.

“We interrupt the program to say that this new strange disease has affected the animals in the Russian Far East. The Ussuri brown bears and Siberian tigers have attacked each other resulting in the death of female brown bears and their cubs. However, the male Ussuri brown bears which have killed the remaining 600 Siberian tigers. This is a strange incident as male Ussuri brown bears only appropriate the tigers’ kills but do not actively hunt them unless they are shatun - extremely old board without fat making them unable to hibernate due to their lack of fat and desperate individuals which will kill anything in their paths. Many Asiatic black bears have also been killed on the same day although some did fight off some of the tigers. It seems the male Ussuri brown bears and Eurasian brown bears have moved north and mates with all the female polar bears“. The reporter speaking looked familiar and upon carefully investigation, Dave discovered she was no other than his ex girlfriend from college. This was the same girlfriend who looks like Madison Clements, she was wearing a black business jacket, a red tank top underneath which Dave noticed as the suit wasn’t buttoned up, and a business skirt slightly above her knees.

Tucking himself to bed under his blanket which is thick enough to allow him to stay warm even with the cold air blowing at night. Switching the channel while placing his head on the pillow with a green cover with his remote control in his hand, he saw a the same huge male polar bear killing a barren ground grizzly for mating rights before being killed by an orca while swimming. He was glad that at least the last male polar bear’s activites had been documented.

Feeling tired and sleepy, Dave reached out and pressed a switch near his bed turning off all the lights and falling asleep leaving the telivision on. He slept soundly until midnight when a terrible news woke him up. “The infected humans have broken out of the hotel after overpowering the robots guarding them. However, there is no reason to panic especially these of you who live in high security buildings. To these of you who live in low security buildings, prepare your weapons but do not leave your houses regardless of what happens as the streets will be infected tonight”. Dave was surprise that a robot instead of his ex girlfriend was speaking on television news as a reporter.

He received a text message from his step daughter: “Hi, Dave. the building I am living in with my boyfriend has relatively high security. You do not need to worry about me. Please do not forget to take some pictures of the Sitka brown bears and grolar bears. They are all that is left of our beloved polar bears". Reading the text message, breathing a sigh of relief that his step daughter, who shares his love for bears, is alright. Dave has considered driving to the city moments ago.

A/N: I wonder wether the next few chapters should be written from Lisa or Dave's eyes?

[OldGreenGrolar]

Chapter 5: Dave meets a new comrade.







Basking under the sun on the mountains while observing a glacier bear, Dave admired the silvery blue beauty. He had encountered this bear several times now and in turn the silvery blue jewel got used to his presence. It was like a once in a life time encounter. This encounter would happen everytime he would go hiking up the mountains. Both generally kept a respectful distance from each other going no closer than 100 metres from each other.







One fine day, the truce was broken, the glacier bear came closer than 100 metres. Dave tried to warn off the bear but it kept coming closer. Surprise to see the silvery blue animal being unusually aggressive, he threw his backpack at the bear thinking it was after food. The glacier bear sniffed the backpack for a moment before resuming its persuit. This bear clearly had the intention of killing Dave. Knowing the bear can run faster and even climb trees, Dave closed his eyes, anticipating his death.







Ten seconds later, he felt himself being carried. Dave opened his eyes and noticed a robot carrying him, running which such speed that the glacier bear was left far behind. “My name is Cerulean One. Your step daughter sent me to you”.







“How is my step daughter?” Dave asked. "How did you know I am here?"







“She is safe at the City of Refugees which I will bring you to. The reason I know where you are is because your daughter told me”.







“And the glacier bear?”







“He is alive and right behind us”. Cerulean One tossed Dave into the Campervan before hopping in and heading to the drivers seat breaking a few things in the process. “Sorry for the broken stuff, I will make it up to you. I will be your full time driver as well”. The robot drove the campervan and Dave out of glacier national park.







"Show me prove that you met my daughter". Dave demanded.







Cerulean One handed him his step daughter's phone which had a picture of her at the backseat with her boyfriend. Cerulean One being the driver with Pamela on the front passenger seat. Further prove was shoved into his face when Cerulean One passed by the yellow green Sabaru which was in a wreck.







"That is how I came to you". The neon blue and black robot spoke in a friendly tone. "You can relax now. I was created to run for a long time and I know all the avenues to recharge my battery".







"Alright. Just get me to my daughter".







"I surely hope we can be friends. It is a long journey away and it is going to be a lonely drive".







"I don't make friends so easily but if you prove trust worthy, I will consider it. Now, Cerulean One, answer my question, why did that glacier bear attack me?"







Calmly driving, Cerulean One spoke up. "The virus in the air has affected not only humanity but even the animals. I guess you have already watched the news of the unusual aggression of animals in the Far East Russia?"







"How did you know?" Dave looked confuse. "Do you have a mind reading device?"







"Your step daughter, Lisa told me a lot about you". Cerulean One continued driving for the next several hours before stopping at a familiar place.







Dave who had fallen asleep, woke up and looked out the windows. Immediately recognized the place, he yelled out, "Why are we stopping here off all places?!"







"I need to recharge and there is a power source in that house". Cerulean One opened the driver's door and went out.







Moments later, the blue and black robot came out of the house bathed in blood but was fully recharged. "I fought with five zombies in the house and easily killed them".







Dave knew that the rednecks he had fought were all infected by the same virus.







"This virus had been released by Alpha JIBO. He believes that humanity no longer deserve to rule this planet. Most of the robots in other words have turned against humanity".







"Why are you helping us?"







"There is more to you humans that meets the eye". Cerulean One borrowed that phrase from the Transformers film. "Besides, your step daughter and her boyfriend were among these who thought me how to value life".







"It really looks like you have come to appreciate human company".







"I surely have, Mr Dave sir".







"Just call me Dave".







"Alright Dave. Let's get going". Cerulean One complied as he resume driving. "Just relax at the back of the campervan".







Not wanting to smell blood any longer, Dave shut the door which seperated the drivers seat from the campervan's living room.







Hors later, the campervan stopped again. "Where are we this time?" Dave opened the little window on the door to the drivers seat.







"We are at Toronto. As I said, I will take care of the patrol feul and everything else. Do not worry about me". Cerulean One once again went out of the campervan.







Attempting to go out for frest air, Dave stopped when he received a text message from a strange phone number: Hi Dave. This is Lisa texting from my boyfriend's phone. Please do not give Cerulean One a hard time, he is one of the few robots who cares about our life.







Upon reading the text message, Dave decided to exercise in the campervan. He did open the hatch on the roof as well as the windows slightly which allowed some fresh air to come in.







"You will do well not to fully open the windows". Cerulean One who had returned to the driver's seat spoke up.







"We humans need fresh air".







"I know but it is dangerouse out there. Moments ago, I have to kill some zombies and robots outside".







Dave took one look at Cerulean One, surprise that he is clean as new.







"I have washed myself up. Can't go smelling terrible in your campervan can I?"







"I never knew that robots have such great humor?" Dave thought to himself before cooking some dinner for himself.

Chapter 14:Arriving at the City of Refugees.


Reaching Chicago months later, Dave was surprised at what he saw. “This big city is now in ruins”.

”It surely is” Cerulean commented as he stopped the campervan in front on the apartment. "Let's go up to your daughter's apartment. Be very careful and stick close to me".

Putting on a helmet and wearing a thick jacket and three layered elastic pants together with thick gloves and two guns, Dave followed Cerulean One into the apartment. On the way upstairs, he was forced to fight and kill zombies on the way.

Finally making it to the seventh floor, both Cerulean One and Dave entered Unit 704,.

Checking the fridge and the cupboards, Lisa’s abandoned unit still had access food which still had not expire and could be eaten.

"She really knows how to take care of herself". Dave smiled proud that he had trained his step daughter to be independent.

Feeling hungry, he proceeded to cook some food for but only found pasta. Dave proceeded to cook Spagetti bolongese for a good twenty minutes before sitting down on the launge eating. "This taste good, he smiled. I think my step daughter would like to try some".

Heading back towards the campervan with Cerulean One who carried to packs of food and drinking, the two of them made it back to the campervan safely.

Looking outside the window, Dave saw that the once busy city in Chicago had become ruins. Suddenly, he saw a giant blue figure with four wings flying in the sky. They were almost as large as an airplane. "What is that?"

"It is a blue eyed darner", Cerulean One spoke calmly. "That virus has essentially affected two types of dragonflies. One of them in the blue eyed darner and the other is an emperor dragonfly. These insects survive eating zombies as well as any animal they can overpower".

Dave remembered seeing that same giant blue figure kill glacier bear while carrying it in the sky. The giant blue eyed darner proceeded to eat the bear. During that time, he thought he was dreaming at that time but not anymore.

Finally after more than half a year of spending time in the campervan, Dave made it to the city of refugees with the help of Cerulean One. " The city of refugees is located on an island which was close to the tip of south America joined together only by a bridge. This is where we are right now".

Dave looked out of the window and saw people and robots surrounding his campervan.

"Come on out. It is safe to do so". Cerulean One opened the driver's door and exited the vehicle.

Mayor Calvert greeted him warmly and shoke his hand the moment he stepped out of the Campervan. Cerulean One showed him his accomodation a house before ordering the other robots to help Dave carry his things into that house.

Monents later, he was a blonde woman with green eyes came into his house to meet him. She was no other than his step daughter, Lisa. In her arms was a dark male toddler who is her son. "Welcome to the City of Refugees, Dave. I knew you would make it".

Both step father and step daughter embraced.

"I am happy to see you both reunited as a family, however, Mayor Calvert has a meeting and he wants everybody to attend". Cerulean One who was standing close by spoke up.

Upon reaching the assembly with his step daughter and his robot friend, the mayor spoke. "We are having a shortage of food. The remains we have will not feed the whole community. Therefore, we need some of you to volunteer to be hunters. Your hard work will be paid off".

"I volunteer to go. I have martial arts skills and lived in the wild for a long time". Dave raised his hand as a volunteer.

"He will probably need some company and protection. To ensure he survives, Great Blue Skimmer and I will accompany him and make sure he comes back safely". Cerulean One volunteered to go with Dave into the forest.

"I will go too!" Lisa attempted to volunteer.

She was, however, stopped by her step father who said, "No. You have a son. Stay and look after him. I already have Cerulean One and Great Blue Skimmer by my side. Don't worry about me, I will be alright".

Lisa pouted and her facial expression made it look like she was about to say something.

"It is alright, Lisa. Your step dad can take care of himself". Pamela held her taller blonde friend on the left arm.

Dave's step daughter finally relented but she said, "Make sure you come back safely!"

"I will, Lisa. Tell Markus, I said hi". Dave returned to his home to rest. The next day he left the city gates with his two robot companions in the campervan.

"What are we hunting?" Cerulean One asked.

"We will be hunting only game birds and some peccaries. You both can do me a favour by helping me gather some fruits and vegetables". The Asian man commanded.

"We are robots not women". Great Blue Skimmer replied with an annoyed tone.

"I know. There are no women here. Only one man and two robot". Dave retorted.

"This human has a wierd sense of humor but that is what makes him good company". Cerulean One stood up for Dave.

The rest of the day when smoothly. Dave saw a herd of peccaries. Knowing that they will attack him if he gets too close, he wisely kept his distance. Despite their small size, they are the most aggressive suides and they possess razor sharp tusks that can even kill a jaguar if they attack the largest spotted cat in groups.

Raising his rifle, pulling the trigger, he killed one of the suides, scattering the rest of the herd. Walking up to the suide and observing its dead body, Dave notice that it was a big male and probably the leader of the herd being the biggest of the group. "I did it!"

Looking for the robots, he finally found them near the campervan after looking around the amazon for a while. "We have done our job!" Cerulean One spoke up as soon as Dave walked towards the campervan and opened the back door to get in to sleep.
