CHAPTER 20
The military quarters in just like any of those military barracks I see in movies and documentation vlogs of soldiers. With single beds lined up, some double-decks, and sleeping bags lying on the floor. A pantry is on a far corner of the quarters, and another far end are computers. Looking around I notice that they look few, but they are a couple of hundreds when we get here.
"Where are the others?" I ask.
Captain Welton sighs, "Some are doing their rounds around the facility, and some were turned into zombies. Just this morning."
"What?" I can't hide my surprise. "You mean..."
"Dr. Jhero turned them into zombies, said it was our punishment for messing with the facility's system. And he said just like your boyfriend, I was a fool for bringing hundreds of soldiers here. Half of us were turned into zombies, now we're just eighty. He said those he turned into his toys were not nec

The question as though why did they have to bring me to their quarters just to tell that to me was playing in my head as I walk back to our room. And when I am already in our room and voiced out that concern to my boyfriend, he said it's because the military quarters is one of the safest places in the facility. After all, it is controlled by the soldiers. Lieutenant Wendell Stone and the others who were skilled in computers are in charge to take control over the facility's system so that their movements and conversations won't be recorded by Dr. Jhero. I asked if the facility's system won't detect it, and he said it won't be detected if they are working on computers at full force. Though there would always be a suspicion, they wouldn't know. "Can't you do that too?" I ask again. He shakes his head. "I need a full force computer works too. You know, technology nowadays is advance, so is the hacking thing. Though I could make another softwa

With Sean's impressive intelligence quotient and if we work all together to find a way out in our situation, we could. But the fact that it would be great and way easier if someone who knows better than we know could go here and give us everything we need to know would be a lot great. Lieutenant Stone and his team did their jobs to connect with their comrades outside and give them updates, including Lawrence and Georgia. On our way back to the VIP quarters, Sean informed me about Dr. Jhero's past with his father. Aside from they were batchmates and schoolmates, Dr. Jherusalem Colleti and General Silvester Gabriel Sr. of the US Armed Forces were friends before, and they were the top students of their school. Given that the two families were reigning in medical and technology, the two were the best duo of their generation, not until Dr. Jhero reveals his family's plan and offered Senior Richforte to join them, but he refused and their friendship st

I stared at the blank ceiling as I lay down on the bed, waiting for Sean to wake up. When he awoke, I let him eat first before showing him the piece of paper I found under the glass of water. Sipping on my camomile tea to help me relax, I watch him as he read the words scribbled on it and stares at it for a while. When he looks at me, I know he'll ask who gave me the letter so before he could even open his mouth to say a word, I spoke, "I think it came from the bellboy who delivered the foods. I see the glimpse of his eyes, and he looks young. He needs help." Taking a deep breath, Sean stood up and I followed him through my gaze as he approaches the closet and rummages for clothes. "You taking a shower?" I ask. Without looking, he replies, "Yea. Want to join me?" Pulling a pair of black t-shirt and khaki shorts, he tossed it just enough for the clothes to land above the bed with his black boxer briefs. I bit

Chef Fritzerg didn't say the lewd words, but we know what he means with those words. And there were my emotions again, trying to overcome me, but I held my ground and instead, did the opposite. With the thought in mind that I should be strong enough even against myself if I wanted to help Sean and everyone, I widen my smile despite the bizarre thoughts in my head because of what the chef said. "Very well, then, Chef Fritzerg. Alden Holton for $10 tonight, 7 pm. We'll take our leave now." The chef smirked smugly before I tug Georgina's arm who seems shocked with how I reacted and the words that came out of my mouth. On the hallways, she blinked rapidly before giving me her I-can't-believe-you-look. I shrug and smirked, resembling the smug smirk of Chef Fritzerg back in the main cuisine. "We should go back to the quarters and tell this to Sean and Captain Welton," I said. She nodded in agreement, and together, we headed to

Because I didn't bring too many clothes with me as per Sean's instructions back in the hospital, my clothes mostly consist of jeans and blouses, and some loose t-shirts and shorts for sleeping. With the plan that Sergeant Valencio formulated, I will be needing a sexy nightgown or lingerie, but I don't have anything like that with me. Thankfully, Georgina has plenty with her since she manages to ready everything before we were hastily enlisted here. So, here we are, in our room— Sean and I, but Sean is not here. He was left in the military quarters, watching us through the cameras they'd tapped in. With her silk nightgowns scattered above the bed, I'm sure Sean is shaking his head in disagreement for me to wear these, given that they will expose most of my skin and barely cover me, and they are watching through the cameras, and probably, others may be watching too. Sergeant Valencio insisted that we will block the cameras in the facility's system becau

December 11, 2050 - CREF, Main Lobby, Wolfe Creek Crater, Western Australia As doctors and soldiers, we were trained to react efficiently and productively in times of emergency, whether you are in the middle of your toilet session, shower, or even when you were sleeping and suddenly awakes because of an emergency. Yet this time, as we know we are dealing with a psychopath doctor, we can't help but groan in protest as the electronic voice of a woman keeps on repeating the same words, over and over again through the speakers around, to the rooms, hallways and even when we were already in the main lobby, adding fuel to the irritation building within us. "Calling the attention of everyone, please proceed to the main lobby. Calling the attention of everyone, please proceed to the main lobby. Calling the attention of everyone, please proceed to the main lobby." Lieutenant Stone who's standing beside Georgina on my left side, groaned agai

Half of us were turned into zombies, it was Dr. Jhero's way of giving us a warning for our attempts to bring him down. It was his way of saying he's a couple of steps ahead of us, and though he didn't know our plan, for him, it wouldn't do anything. He controls the parasite and the situation. He controls everything now. Sean, Captain Welton, and Lieutenant Stone were furious, but controlling their rage by clenching their balled fists hard. They know that if they let their emotion take over them, the situation will only get worst, and we might end up all being zombies. Dr. Jhero's laugh echoed through the whole lobby, our co-medical team who were left in their sanity stepped back in fear, tears rimming at the corner of their eyes, while the military forced simply looked away from their comrades who were now gone out of their minds. "See? Just this and you all crumble down with your emotions. What more if I did more of it? Hmm, would you l

As Sean's body shake, it's as if he was vibrating, we were vibrating. The elevator doors were still closed, but the ledge wasn't moving. It's as if we were stuck on this floor within the elevator. And as he let his emotions pour, I held him tight, and just like what he does whenever I was the one crumbling with my emotions, I plant light kisses on his hair. It was like that for a while, he was crying and I just let him. Though nowadays, men crying weren't acceptable in society. As people's life becomes better over the years, the gap between poor and rich becomes small, and as everything falls in the better place, the society's mindset becomes worst. According to studies, it was mainly because of the improved technology, well, even before, a poor mindset is one of technology's disadvantages despite it delivering more intelligence to people. Society set beauty standards, so plastic surgeries were practiced more often than before, and the beauty produc
