“I’m sure about this, I’ve seen this ring before” Micheal said with a look of realization, his expression that of someone who had recognized an old forgotten item of the past.“Are you sure about this?” Yoshi asked curiously now paying attention to the ring.“Yeah I’m sure, I remember seeing this ring when everything went to shit, it cost me my friend’s life” Micheal replied recalling some parts of his memories where he saw the ring.“So can you describe anything about the ring?” Bai inquired curiously, he was interested in what connection they had to the ring.“I don’t remember much only a little, I think I found the ring somewhere and it led to my friend being killed, that’s all I remember, the rest are just a blur of events” Micheal replied massaging his temples as his mind felt a little clouded, he realized that no matter how much he tried, he couldn’t remember any more about that night, it was like it was locked or something.“Well there goes our only clue, now we’re back to squa

“Hey sup Mike, what you doing here?” A youth between the ages of 20 to 21 said giving a fist bump to a younger version of Micheal who snapped out of his daze and glanced at the youth in confusion.“Are you okay, you seem shocked or something?” The youth asked again noticing Micheal’s confused expression.“I’m fine, I think, what are you doing here?” Micheal massaged his temple while observing his surroundings.“Um I live here, what’s wrong with you, you seem to be acting strange, are you sure you’re okay?” The youth replied before posing the question again, now worried about Micheal’s strange behavior, his words only now made Micheal realize that he was standing outside the Youth’s house, he stood silently trying to understand what the strange feeling he was experiencing could be.“Yeah I’m okay Jeff, just had a strange sense of Déjà vu” Micheal shrugged before replying, convincing himself that he was just overreacting.“Well it had to be a really powerful one to make you so confused,
“It would seem like the situation is more serious than I thought, imagine if one worm got into the other zones, just one worm would be enough to turn the whole zone upside down” Hai remarked with a serious expression, he pictured what he just said in his mind, imagining the worm causing havoc in the zones.“But there has to be someone behind this right, I mean the worm couldn’t have just appeared out of nowhere, it has to have been genetically created” Yoshi said with a thoughtful expression.“Yeah you’re right, so it means that there is another person behind the scenes controlling everything from a comfortable position, he must have been the same person that erased the footage” Henry also said slowly adding the pieces together to form the picture.“So do you think that’s possible for the one who created the hive mind to control the whole zombie population?” Micheal suddenly asked which made everyone pause and think, was it really possible for that to happen, if it was then it would b
“So you mean that the newly infected people can be saved?” Rachael asked not expecting this twist.“For now that’s just my hypothesis, I need proof to further validate it as a fact, luckily The hippocampus was still functioning so I could use the latest technology to pierce through the fabric that encloses the memories” Yoshi replied causing Bai to frown.“Why do you talk so not understanding-ish, I’m more confused now than I was before” Bai said shaking his head.“Yeah, you need to cool down with the encyclopedic speech” Henry also added agreeing with Bai who grinned staring at Yoshi triumphantly.“Okay how about now homie, you feel me now dawg” Yoshi said imitating an African American’s accent.“Now that’s just racism” Henry replied with a frown, rolling his eyes.“Hey could we just get back to the issue at hand, we’re wasting precious time” Micheal interrupted the conversation bringing everyone’s minds back.“So as I was saying, I scanned through the memories and even though some o
“That was, um, educating” Bai said scratching his head while thinking of what he just saw.“Yoshi, could you pause the footage at the end, just before it ends” Micheal said to Yoshi who nodded and did as he was told, he paused the video right at the moment when something shot out of the Captain’s mouth.“Yeah, could you now zoom into this part” Micheal added pointing to the thing that shot out.“What is that?” Hai asked with a frown pointing at the now zoomed image which showed the clear figure of the object that shot out.“Seems like a tube” Racheal replied squinting her eyes at the image trying to identify what it was.“But there is something also coming out of the tube” Henry also added pointing out the sharp pointed organism also shooting out of the tube.“So what strange details did you guys notice in the video?” Micheal asked with a frown after some thought, he seemed to be thinking deeply about something.“Well one strange fact is the zombie who got up after being shot in the h
“What is it?” Hai yelled rushing into the room where Henry was, he entered to see Henry standing over a strange creature with his gun aimed at it poking it to see if it was alive.“What in the world is this thing? Looks like a mix between horror and death, the fuck did you find this shit Henry?” Bai asked staring at the creature in shock, throughout his whole 25 years on Earth, he had never seen anything like this, it looked like an alien parasite from space, it was just half the size of a basketball, and it looked like an octopus that had spikes embedded onto its tentacles, several lines spread from its tentacles to its head where a sphere could be seen, it had two eyes which were colored red, within its eyes were three layers of pupils, it didn’t have a mouth but when it was turned over, the mouth was then revealed to be the underside of its tentacles.“I don’t know it came out of that hole and tried to attach itself onto my face, luckily I was fast enough to respond otherwise I don
“You sure Mike, you know what it’ll mean right?” Bai asked to make sure that Micheal was sure of his decision.“Yeah I’m sure, just do it, and stop calling me Mike” Micheal replied with a steadfast look which meant that he had made up his mind to face whatever was coming.“Okay Mike” Bai said and pressed a button, acting like he hadn’t heard Micheal’s warning not to refer to him in that manner.“BEEP BEEP” The machine suddenly let out two loud beeps putting everyone on guard.“I got it” Bai’s expression lit up as the screen flashed, displaying several video feeds.“Okay let’s see what was so important that it had to be wiped away” Hai said with a curious expression.“BEEP BEEP BEEP” The watches on the group’s hands suddenly went off beeping which caught their attention.“What’s this?” Henry frowned in confusion, not understanding the reason for the watch’s behavior.“The scan picked up life signals some distance away, we have to go over to see what it is” Yoshi answered clearing away
“WHOOSH” The sound of the parachutes flapping in the air sounded in the quiet night as the group landed on the ground and immediately got on guard grabbing their weapons.“West clear” Micheal immediately after landing turning on his night vision helmet and discovering that there were no nearby enemies.“East clear” Henry also cleared up the East.“North clear” Bai cleared up the north.“South clear” Hai also finally cleared up the south side.“No enemies around then, everyone turn on your maps and follow behind me, eyes on the surroundings, once you spot an enemy, alert the rest of us before you attack” Micheal instructed the others, his previous seriousness disappearing as he grabbed his gun and followed the route on the map.“Roger” The rest replied following behind him with one line, with Micheal at the lead and the others behind him observing their whole environment.They walked from the drop-off location through the desert-like land toward the location of zone one itself, after w
