Sean is in a hurry as he locks the door and puts things behind it so that it won't be opened immediately even after they manage to unlock it. With great force, he pulled the set of sofa in the middle of the room and put them on the back of the door before he pulls me again.
I am out of my mind as he pulls me to the adjacent room, and once we're inside he locks the door too and faces me. Putting his both hand on my face like he's securing it and checking up on me, he asks if I'm okay. But instead of giving him an answer as to if I am okay or not, I ask,
"Did I see it right or my eyes was just tricking me? Are they zombies?"
He takes a deep breath before saying, "Listen, Rosella. I receive a call from Captain Welton, informing me that the medical team, the participants in the mission will have an emergency flight to Australia. There is a sudden zombie outbreak in Asia where the UVirus was first detected
Gone. They are gone. While the participants were on their way to the airport through the armored car, they were attacked by a group of zombies. The soldiers with them had no choice but to use their guns and shoot each one who tries to get their way, but even so, they did not manage to completely protect the doctors. They were outnumbered by the zombies, and some doctors helped with all they can to protect themselves and their co-doctors, resulting in losing their own lives in the process. Most of them were eaten alive by the zombies. Whenever there is a doctor who was thrown out of the car because of the zombies, the zombies' attention will be averted to the doctor. And that is mainly the reason why they got rid of them. "So in short, they sacrificed," I murmur. "Somehow." Sean replies who's now sitting beside me, also shock by the news.
December 1, 2050 - Colleti Research & Experimental Facility, Wolfe Creek Crater Western Australia I think my mind is going to explode any minute from now. The news of the zombie outbreak is shaking my whole system, and finding out that the crowd I saw on the ground are actually zombies did not help either. Until we reach our destination, I am as mute as an isolated room in the middle of a desert. Sean guides me to climb down the helicopter and in an instant, the idea of zombies was averted from my mind when I see where we are. It is not just me but all of us are roaming our gazes around. We are in the middle of nowhere, with rocks and trees surrounding us, mostly large Acacias and Eucalyptus, and some giant rocks. Other than that, there is nothing in here, not even the slightest clue that there is a facility in here. Then I remember that Wolfe Creek Crater is one of the most isola
December 2, 2050 - CREF, Wolfe Creek Crater, Western Australia The food that was served to us last night for dinner was satisfying, and today, our breakfast is also a satisfying one and will surely give us enough energy for our first day on a mission. Our room is just spacious enough to accommodate Sean and me, and because he unexpectedly announces that I will be sleeping with him, of course, there is only one bed in the room. Nowadays, liberty is really a normal thing and is not something big deal, so of course, both of us did not mind sleeping in one bed and note that I am not wearing a bra whenever I sleep. Currently, we are unloading things in our duffle bag and stuffing them in the closet which of course, is also one and we will use it together. The closet despite being small is enough for our clothes since we did not bring many, just a few. The room is complete with everything that we need too, like a hote
December 6-7, 2050 - CREF, Wolfe Creek Crater, Western Australia After spending our first day studying the data that was sent to us through our email, we started in our mission the next day after that. Although I have read the file over and over again the other day, it still does not make sense at all, and I am not the only one who has that kind of interpretation in the file. So even with the file, we still start from zero, from the basic. The first part of our research is to review the processes they did about the UVirus, and we will use that as our reference. We will find what went wrong, if they did not make it right that's why they failed to get anything about it. But after two days of thorough reviewing and pointing out things, we found out that they did nothing wrong. The steps are right, the equipments they use are right. So on our third day, we started to do it on our own. We did not make the process
"Besides Rosella, I've heard you say the F word for the second time now. And I swear, if I hear you say that again, I'll kiss the daylight out of you. And I will make sure you will stop fussing about the rumors." I stop breathing and gulped several times, and then his lips quirk up and formed into a sexy smirk, leaving me breathless even more. When he leaned back, I step back and drag air in my lungs, while he has this triumphant smile on his lips. He sits on the edge of the bed and stares at me, legs and arms crossed. "You know what, we can do something so that you won't think about the rumors anymore. It adds on the things you need to think about." "And what do you suggest that we do?" I retort, now able to breathe properly. "Let's make it real." And again, my lungs stop working as I hear him say those words. "Come again?"
December 8, 2050 - CREF, Wolfe Creek Crater, Western Australia Dr. Jhero is now keeping an eye on me and is watching my moves. I don't know how to feel about that. And after knowing that he's now keeping an eye on me just because of our heated conversation on our first day here, his presence that gives me the feeling that something is off only intensifies, not just that, I now feel that something is up with him. The sleepiness that I feel vanished after Sean told me that things. Currently, I am lying on my back while his arms are wrapped around me. He's sound asleep while here I am, eyes closed but my mind is fully awake, overthinking. I sighed again for the I don't know how many times tonight before I decided to go to the quarter's pantry for a drink. I carefully lift Sean's arm that is resting on my tummy. He stirs but did not wake, and I silently got out of the bed and creep out of the room. The silent an
They say do not raise expectations so that in the end, you won't get hurt when the outcome did not come as you expected it to be. This is such an old saying, but even these days, it is still applicable in every circumstance. Even when the analysis is still not done, we could see that just like the first one, we won't get anything about this UVirus. Still, we expected something. In the end, we were all disappointed to see that the result does not make sense at all. We sat all together, the result in front of us, and brainstormed to see if something went wrong. We've gone brain out, but we did not see anything wrong with the procedures. Everything is fine, everything went well, still, the results came out to be like this. No sense at all. Our shoulders fell in disappointment as realization dawned us, our efforts come out to be for nothing. "See, the problem is in the UVirus." Dr.
"W-what? Are you s-serious?" I stuttered. He hugs me tighter, "Sshh, silence. He can hear us if we talk louder than this one. He could be watching us right now." The realization then dawned on me after a moment, I secretly look around, hoping to see something strange or suspicious but of course, I didn't see any. Sensing that I finally understand his point, Sean advises me to stop acting that way or else we'll be doomed. "What you are thinking is right. We are in Dr. Jhero Colleti's lair, so, therefore, he has access to everything. There are invisible cameras and recorders installed around. So he could hear us, and see us." "But how?" I ask in a whispered voice, careful not to be heard by the recorders installed around. "That's invading someone's privacy, and there is a law saying that you couldn't put hidden recorders and cameras on someone's private space without consent."
