Zombie Apocalypse: Creation

After walking all the way down the stairs, Xiaoyun’s group finally arrived at what seem to be the main lobby.

”Who the hell are you guys?” An man in a doctor uniform asked as he approached Xiaoyun’s group.

”We’re the representative sent to help reinforce the base here.” Xiaoyun thought of a response on the spot.

”Finally, took them long enough. I was getting sick of those zombies knocking outside.” The man replied as he looked at the head of security.

”What took you so long Bi Ren?” The man walked up to the head of security.

”You know, have to settle down the soldiers upstairs for now. The usual.” Bi Ren explained.

”Do you mind bringing us to the head department? We have an emergency letter from the mil—— government.” Xiaoyun quickly changed his answer as he remember 1st brigade was all gone despite being apart of the military.

”Of course... but this is too much people.” The man looked at the two squad Xiaoyun brought.

”They’re extra security brought by the government.” Xiaoyun refused to back down.

”Okay... just follow me then.” The man opened another door at the main lobby, revealing a long hallway inside.

As they walk pass the rooms in the hallway, they could see a lot of scientist doing experimentation on unrecognizable bodies.

”Are they human or zombies?” Xiaoyun curiously asked.

”Both... you’re from the government right? How do you not know this?” The man stopped as he seem to realized something.

”Don’t move.” Xiaoyun pulled out a pistol and pointed at the man’s head.

”Okay okay, don’t shoot me please.” The man’s leg started shaking.

”Lead me to the head department.” Xiaoyun demanded.

”I will I will, please don’t shoot me.” The man started walking again as Xiaoyun lowered his gun to avoid the scientist from the inside seeing him pull out a gun.

After walking pass two more walkways, four different turns, and two different doors, they finally ended at the Overseer’s room as labelled in the front.

”Doctor Li, I had brought the representative from the government here.” The man walk inside the room alongside Xiaoyun as Xiaoyun signaled everyone to stay outside.

Doctor Li was middle age man in a lab coat, who seem to be still focusing on reading some data on a piece of paper.

”Thank you Yi Ping, you can go back to your post now.” Yi Ping left the room.

”You’re the person that spoke through the walkies talkie?” Xiaoyun realized why the voice sounded so familiar.

”Yes, I was the one who spoke on it. I had been waiting for you guys for a long time.” Doctor Li explained.

Xiaoyun paused for a second to think, and then finally decided to bring it up.

”Where are all the soldiers?”

”The soldiers? They all volunteered themselves for science.” Doctor Li seem to be proud as he said it out loud.

”Volunteer? What do you mean by that?” Wuli curiously asked.

”Well, they donated their body for advancement in science! We’re so close to finishing it. We are just few more research away from it...” Doctor Li opened the drawer.

”I need to thank the government for the support... Here, this is the result we had gotten. It can extend enhance someone’s physical capability two fold.” Doctor Li handed Xiaoyun a small bottle.

”This result should be enough to satisfy them.” Doctor Li closed the drawer.

”How many soldiers are left?” Xiaoyun examined the small bottle as his voice deepen.

Doctor Li took out a data sheet from the drawer and started reading it.

”Just around one hundred left as test subjects.” Doctor Li replied.

”In the span of a year, you killed three thousand just for this?” Xiaoyun slammed the table in frustration.

”I didn’t kill them, I ordered them to join the experiment and all of them accepted it. I bet all the other lab didn’t even get any result better than us.” Doctor Li argued back.

”Bullshit, he drugged the food when the soldiers were about to eat dinner, then they had all the security to tie them up.” Tianci spoke up as she revealed herself to Doctor Li.

”Tianci you! How are you still alive?” Doctor Li was in complete shock.

”You never expected there was an hidden compartment in my room when you sent the security to kill me didn’t you?” Tianci suddenly started laughing maniacally as she pulled out of Xiaoyun’s pistol and aimed at Doctor Li.

”Wai——” Before Xiaoyun could stop Tianci, a loud bang sound could be heard by everyone.

Doctor Li face was still in shock as he collapsed to the desk with a bullet wound on his forehead.

Just as Xiaoyun was about demand a response from Tianci, she pointed the gun to her own head and pulled the trigger before anyone could react.

Unlike the first shot that came with a loud bang, it was only a click sound.

The gun was jammed.

Xiaoyun grabbed the gun back from Tianci as she looked confused why she haven’t died yet.

”Why did you kill him?” Xiaoyun asked as he unjammed the gun and put it back to the side.

”Y-You aren’t mad at me that I just kill you guy’s main info?” Tianci looked surprise by how calm Xiaoyun was.

”I was about to do the same thing... that trash didn’t deserve to live anyway. I don’t want to hear him talk for any longer. Anyway can you answer my question?” Xiaoyun asked again.

”My dad was the Brigadier General leading the military side of the water plant... he was killed by Doctor Li” Tianci let out a little tear as she thought back to the past.

”I’m sorry to hear that... your father will rest in peace knowing Doctor Li is dead.”

”Thank you... without you, I would never had this chance to get revenge.”

”No problem, but why did you aimed at y——”

”I can lead you guys to the soldiers.” Yi Ping spoke up as he stood in the doorway with the rest of the security guard.

”We should get everyone in this lab to the main lobby.” Wuli finally spoke up again as she and the other two squad was getting a little bored from watching the entire thing unfold.

”Can you do that?” Xiaoyun looked over to Yi Ping.

”No problem, just give me ten minute.” Yi Ping immediately left the room with all the security guards..

---

After waiting for ten minute, all the scientist were in the main lobby. As well as the one hundred soldiers that were still tied up.

”Who are you? Why did you stop our experiment? Where’s Doctor Li?” One of the scientist asked.

”Yeah, how dare you bring guns in the laboratory?” Another scientist spoke up angrily as he was still in the middle of an experiment.

”I’m tell you guys that this experiment will be put on pause.” Xiaoyun replied as he signaled the soldiers to be ready.

”What? Doctor Li would never agree to this!” A old scientist spoke up.

”He’s dead. I had been sent by the government to end the experiment.” Xiaoyun stood firm in his stance.

”How dare you kill an government official? There’s no way the people at the central government would ever end this. You’re not apart of the government at all!” One of them saw through Xiaoyun’s excuse.

”Okay, you’re right. I’m not from the government. I’m just a normal citizen who just happened to have a gun.” Xiaoyun pulled out his pistol as he pointed at the scientist.

”Okay okay, we’ll stop... We don’t want to do this anyway. We are only forced to do it because of Doctor Li” The oldest spoke up again.

Xiaoyun signaled to the two squad to go help untie the soldiers from the military as they finally opened their eyes.

”All these scientist are bunch of butcher! Don’t believe a single word from them!” One of the soldier yelled out as his mouth cover was removed.

”They killed our comrades and treated us like animals. It’s either I leave the room alive or I die here!” Another soldier yelled out.

”Please, we are forced by Doctor Li. He had the security guards on his side and forced us to do it.” The scientist all pointed at Yi Ping.

”Bullshit! You guys looked so happy every time you guys got new bodies to work with. We only did it because Doctor Li held our family hostage in Beijing.” Yi Ping argued back.

”Please mister, do the right thing and don’t let these criminal get off like this.” All the soldiers got onto their knees and begged as they looked extremely malnourished.

Some of the scientist started crying, and some started arguing back against the soldiers while the two squad struggled to separated the two group from getting closer.

A loud bang came out of Xiaoyun’s gun as he fired a warning shot in to the air.

”Enough! Everyone be quiet! I don’t want to hear any more complains.”

Immediately, both groups went dead silent as the two squads let out a sigh of relief.
