2024-05-22 14:23:25Lisa and Alex saw many people tied to poles that were being experimented on. Alex felt a sharp pain in his head again and he fell to the ground. The system sends a message again.
[ SYSTEM MESSAGE: THE HOSPITAL HAS BEEN COMPROMISED, LEAVE AND MOVE TO A SAFE LOCATION] [ SYSTEM REWARD; YOUR SUV AWAITS YOU JUST OUTSIDE THE HOSPITAL. MAKE IT THERE IN TIME BEFORE THE HERD REACHES YOU ] Alex got up " It looks like this place has been overrun with some shady people. The system just asked us to leave." He sighed looking at Alex's face. " Look, that is Doctor Morgan," Lisa shouted looking at Alex to walk closer to the Zombie with a white uniform. " I think whoever was outside there killed the real Doctor Morgan. We have to leave here as soon as possible." Alex looked at Lisa " Did the system tell you anywhere we are supposed to go?" Lisa quickly shot a zombie that was moving closer to them in the head. " I think there is something special about them. " Alex walked closer to the cage looking at their faces. " What? Lisa asked pulling him back "Don't get too close to them." " They seem in control of what they are doing. look over there. Dr Morgan is seated and it looks like he is in control." " Yes, I am." A voice came back at Rick as they were about to move back. " Whoever it is that you met inside the facilities is trying to make superhuman zombie soldiers to take over the world. Don't let them and you need to burn this place to the ground. They have succeeded seeing you are here. They have your blood and that is what they need. You need to get out of here now." " You are going to do no such thing." Alex heard a voice behind him and he turned to face the fake Doctor Morgan. " I know what you are doing and I am going to stop you." " Stop me? I am trying to save the world and make it a better place. Join me and we can rule together. I will destroy anyone that stands in my way." She threatened and Alex could see the red veins in her blood. " What did you do to yourself? " Alex asked Frightened " I am better, the zombie apocalypse is a blessing in disguise don't you see? I am faster and stronger." She shouted at Alex " I am going to try and buy us more time, Lisa. Run!." Lisa wanted to run but was met by some guards. " Going somewhere love. " one of the guards looked at Lisa and she stuck an arrow inside his eyes. " Both of you are not leaving here today. It is either you join me or you die." Fiona shouted again She charged at Alex and the combat began between the both of them. Lisa on the other hand tried to fight off the guards stopping her from leaving. Alex was brutally beaten by Fiona. She was faster and stronger than him. Alex noticed Doctor Morgan had been trying to have himself freed. He reached for his gun and shot the padlock at the gates. " What has you done you fool?" Fiona cried out trying to run out of the building but Morgan jumped right at her front. " I will take it from here. Go and help your friend." The zombies began to swarm into the facilities as Rick and Lisa tried their best to fight the soldiers. " I am not that weak. You might have been the greatest of my inventory but I am faster and stronger thanks to his blood." Fiona looked at Morgan who was bleeding from the gunshot wound some of Fiona's men shot at him. " we are both going to die here today." Morgan looked at her Fiona taunted looking at her hand drenched in Morgan's blood " If you are in a hurry to die then die alone. I don't think I am ready to depart from this world yet." Rick looked at a gasoline tank beside them and looked at Morgan who nodded for him to shoot when the time was right. Lisa and Rick immediately got back to trying to find a way and suddenly they heard a loud burst the the main gate. Rick and Lisa looked at each other as they heard a loud noise of a horde coming towards them. " We have to leave now or we won't make it," Alex shouted at Lisa " Go, and get your blood out from that facility," Morgan shouted Alex looked at the gasoline thanks and shot at it. It blasted as they were out of the building making the whole building crumble. As they run, they weave through the zombies that want a taste of their flesh. They climbed the roof and barred the doors. " I think we are trapped." Lisa looked at Rick who was trying to get his breath back. That is the least of our worries. " I need to find my blood sample and the one that was taken from you." Rick walked into the blood laboratory and saw a lot of blood samples. " I think we are going to be here for a very long time," Lisa said gently falling to the ground. Her stomach groaned showing she was hungry. Rick opened a cabinet and saw some snacks stacked inside. He threw some to Lisa and sat down. "I am lost, the system asked us to come here, and now this." [ RICK SIGHED ] They began to look for the blood sample and after many hours of nonstop search. Lisa shouted, " I found it." She heard hers and Rick's own too. " We need to leave now." They walked back to the door " We need to make it through to the main gate. The system had provided us with an SUV van. We can find my family and locate the safe house with it. But first, we need to make it there. I am going to count one to three and open. Get ready!" Rick looked at Lisa's face as he counted his fingers but when he unbarred the door they were met with the stern look of an half zombie and half-human staring at them with anger.

Chapter thirty nine
The weeks that followed Joel’s death were a blur of blood, fire, and vengeance. Rick’s grief became his fuel. Lisa barely spoke, haunted eyes fixed on nothing, her body moving only because Rick insisted they couldn’t stop—not now. Not after what Joel had lost. They found temporary refuge in an abandoned comms outpost. There, Rick discovered that the system inside him—whatever synthetic, parasitic technology it was—had fused with his DNA. His blood had mutated. It was the first spark of hope they’d had in months. Word traveled fast. Survivors across sectors whispered of a man with blood that burned the virus away. The resistance, previously fractured and demoralized, rallied around that hope—and around Rick. They named him The Living Cure. But Rick had only one goal: Gregor. The Final Siege. The resistance mounted a full-scale assault on Compound Zero—Gregor’s fortress, where the virus was born. The sky was ash-gray that morning, wind carrying the scent of smoke and death. Rick
Chapter thirty eight
The entire compound pulsed with a dreadful urgency. Sirens wailed in bursts, like a dying animal's cry. Red lights throbbed above, casting shadows that twisted like phantoms across the walls. Rick’s breath tore from his lungs as he sprinted down the stairwell, two steps at a time.The loud noise of the siren was getting too loud that Rick was worried it was going to attract the zombies. The system’s words echoed in his mind, hollow and inescapable. He didn’t know what Phase One meant—only that it started with him. That Joel, Lisa... they were in danger now. He burst into the hallway, shoving aside a dazed technician who barely noticed him. The ground trembled beneath his boots again, a rhythmic, unnatural shake, like something was moving—no, breathing—beneath them. Gunshots cracked from somewhere deep within Sector Twelve. Rick didn’t stop. His legs pumped faster, the corridor a blur until he skidded to a halt in front of Lisa’s door. His knuckles rapped hard once. “Lisa! It’s me!
Chapter thirty seven
It has been quite a while the system contacted Rick. He was even beginning to think the system was something he had imagined. Rick face was pale. The digital message hung in the air like a phantom, glowing faintly in green light—no visible screen, no projection source. Just suspended, like the system itself was embedded into reality. Lisa stepped back, startled. “What the hell is that?” Rick didn’t respond immediately. His eyes remained locked on the message as it slowly began to fade, leaving a trail of eerie silence behind it. The system was back. After weeks—maybe months—of nothing, it was speaking to him again. And it had been watching. “Rick?” Lisa asked again, more cautiously this time. “It’s the system,” he muttered, the weight of it hitting him like a freight train. “It knows I found the files.” “You think it’s...alive?” “I don’t know. But it’s sentient enough to time that message.” He turned to her. “This changes everything.” “Does Gregor know about it?” Rick’s j
Chapter thirty six
Rick moved like a shadow through the dim hallway, every footstep deliberately light as he followed the faint rustling sound that had caught his ear moments earlier. The hairs on the back of his neck stood up—this part of the compound was supposed to be locked down and empty. But he knew what he’d heard.He passed the ammunition room door and turned down a narrow corridor few used anymore. The lights here were faint, flickering with age, barely illuminating the dusty floor and the webs clinging to the corners. He paused near an old utility panel. Something about the wall didn’t sit right—it jutted out just slightly, unevenly with the others.Rick pressed his palm against it and felt a vibration behind the wall. Not the hum of machinery—but the hollow stillness of a space beyond.He ran his fingers along the edge until he found a small indent. He pried it open with the edge of his knife. With a groan, the panel gave way, revealing a narrow entrance cloaked in darkness.Drawing his flas
Chapter thirty five
The creaking floorboards beneath Rick’s boots echoed faintly as he stepped out of the ammunition room, his hand wrapped tightly around the grip of his pistol. The light footsteps he’d heard earlier had vanished, replaced by a thick silence that pressed against his eardrums. He moved slowly, his breathing controlled, eyes scanning every inch of the dim hallway that stretched out ahead of him.He paused near a storage closet, his instincts tugging. Something wasn’t right.Then he saw it—just past a rack of old farming tools, a thin sliver of light seeping through the cracks of what looked like a wall panel. Rick pressed his hand against the wooden surface and gave it a nudge. Nothing. He pushed harder, and the panel gave way with a low groan, revealing a narrow passage behind it.Rick hesitated for only a second before stepping inside.The passageway was narrow and dust-coated, the air thick with age and secrets. He followed the dim path, brushing cobwebs aside, until it opened into a
Chapter thirty four
Rick looked at Lisa as she took off her clothes. He could see some marks visibly seen on her backs and of course her body was looking more of a zombie than a human form. It was whitish but Rick doesn't look like he cared. Lisa looked into the mirror and saw he was staring. " Are you worried or is that a way of showing something else?" Rick turned away, " I am sorry. I didn't mean to startle you." He replied. " It is fine." Lisa replied walking closer to him. She knew Rick had been on his own for a time now and it was normal he felt that way. She got closer to him and gently placed her hands on his cheeks. Her head moved closer to his face for a bit, she was about to kiss him when the door opened with Joel walking in with a school bag slung across his shoulder. " Morning, Dad." He greeted both Lisa and his father. " Morning,son. Are you ready to go to school?" Rick smiled at him and he nodded. " Can aunty Lisa take me to school today?" The boy asked staring at Lisa who
