Chapter 350
A thick cloud of white steam exploded into the air as the hot metal hit the cold silver liquid. The container sank to the bottom of the pond. The crazy, flashing lights disappeared.Instantly, the terrible whispers stopped. The clearing was perfectly quiet again.Jonah dropped to his knees next to Kevin. He grabbed his son by the shoulders."Kevin! Look at me!" Jonah commanded gently. "It is gone. The voice is gone. Breathe."Kevin gasped for air. He opened his good eye. He looked at his father. Kevin’s face was covered in a fresh layer of cold sweat. He was shaking like a leaf in the winter wind."Dad," Kevin whispered. His voice was broken and terrified. "Did you hear them?""I heard them," Jonah said. He wiped the sweat from Kevin’s forehead. "They were broken."Lisa walked over and knelt down. Her face was pale. "I heard them too," she said. She looked at the silver pond where the container had sunk. "It sounded like a radio broadcast from hell. The voices were panicked. They were

The yellow fog hung in the air like a thick, dirty blanket. The clearing in the broken forest was totally quiet. The five clear, dead dogs lay in the dirt. Their black blood soaked into the strange, copper-wire grass.But Kevin was not looking at the dead monsters. He was on his knees. Both of his large hands were pressed flat against the cold, gray dirt. He closed his one good eye. He did not move. He barely even breathed. A few seconds passed.Thump.Jonah watched his son. Jonah’s right shoulder was bleeding badly. The sharp needle-teeth of the clear dog had ripped his flesh. Every time his heart beat, a sharp pain shot down his back. But Jonah ignored the pain. He ignored his terrible hunger. He only focused on Kevin."Kevin," Jonah whispered. His deep voice was very careful. He did not want to break his son's concentration. "Are you absolutely sure?"Kevin kept his hands on the ground. "Yes, Dad," Kevin whispered back. "I feel it. It is very deep. But it is there. It is the Ech

CRUNCH!The skull shattered into a hundred pieces. Black blood and gray brains splattered across the dirt. The dog stopped moving entirely.Jonah was breathing heavily. His chest heaved up and down. His right shoulder was bleeding badly. The pain was making him dizzy.He looked around the clearing.Lisa was helping Kevin stand up. Elena was shaking, holding her empty shotgun. Marcus was sitting on the ground, crying, but he was not bitten.The five clear dogs were all dead. Their broken, transparent bodies lay in the dirt.The clearing fell silent again. Only the sound of the humans gasping for breath filled the yellow fog.Jonah dropped to one knee. He held his bleeding shoulder."Dad!" Kevin limped over quickly. "You are hurt again!""I am fine," Jonah grunted. He forced himself to stand back up. He picked up his rifle from the dirt. He tried to look strong for the group, but he was incredibly tired. His body was failing.Lisa walked over to the dead dog Jonah had crushed.She knelt

"The ecology is broken," Jonah said quietly. "The animals do not know what they are anymore."They walked for another hour through the dark yellow fog. The hunger in Jonah’s stomach was a constant, sharp pain. But the fear kept him moving.They reached a small clearing in the forest. There were no trees here, just a wide open space of dead, gray dirt.In the middle of the clearing, there was a small pond."Water," Marcus said. The old man’s voice was dry and raspy. He started to walk quickly toward the pond."Marcus, wait!" Jonah ordered.But Marcus did not listen. He was too thirsty. He walked to the edge of the pond and dropped to his knees.He looked down at the water.It was not water.The pond was filled with a thick, slow-moving silver liquid. It looked like liquid mercury. It bubbled slowly. Bloop. Bloop.Marcus stared at the silver liquid in horror. He backed away quickly. "We cannot drink that," he cried. "We are going to die out here!"Before Jonah could say a word to calm t

Jonah looked up. The leaves on the tree were even stranger. Some leaves were dry and brown. But other leaves were made of thin, green glass. They looked like pieces of broken bottles hanging from the branches. Some leaves looked like small squares of plastic."The plants are broken," Jonah said softly.He looked down at the ground. The grass was not normal. Patches of dead, yellow grass grew next to patches of sharp, thin copper wires. The copper wires grew right out of the dirt like weeds."This is not a natural place," Marcus said. The old man was shaking with fear. He backed away from the metal tree. "God has cursed this land. We are in hell.""God did not do this," Jonah said. His deep voice was very serious. His dark eyes scanned the terrifying, broken forest.Jonah finally understood what was happening."When we entered the Dead Zone, my System turned off," Jonah explained to the group. "I thought the fog blocked the computer signal. But I was wrong.""What do you mean?" Lisa as

The dark yellow fog pressed against the broken glass windows of the old grocery store. It did not move. It just hung in the air like dirty, thick soup.Inside the store, the small fire in the metal trash can was completely dead. Only a few gray ashes remained.Jonah opened his eyes.He sat up slowly from the cold, dirty floor. His massive body felt incredibly heavy. His bones ached. His muscles felt tight and sore. His left arm, where the pale monster had cut him, burned with a hot, sharp pain.Jonah looked at his arm. Lisa’s white cloth bandage was stained with dark red blood, but the bleeding had stopped.Jonah closed his eyes for a second. He tried to open the Tactical Grid in his mind. He waited for the familiar blue light. He waited for the words that would tell him his health was recovering.Nothing happened.His mind was completely dark. The System was still gone. He was still just a normal, hurting, hungry man.He opened his eyes and let out a long, heavy breath."You are awak
