CHAPTER 27
Half of us were turned into zombies, it was Dr. Jhero's way of giving us a warning for our attempts to bring him down. It was his way of saying he's a couple of steps ahead of us, and though he didn't know our plan, for him, it wouldn't do anything. He controls the parasite and the situation. He controls everything now.
Sean, Captain Welton, and Lieutenant Stone were furious, but controlling their rage by clenching their balled fists hard. They know that if they let their emotion take over them, the situation will only get worst, and we might end up all being zombies.
Dr. Jhero's laugh echoed through the whole lobby, our co-medical team who were left in their sanity stepped back in fear, tears rimming at the corner of their eyes, while the military forced simply looked away from their comrades who were now gone out of their minds.
"See? Just this and you all crumble down with your emotions. What more if I did more of it? Hmm, would you l

As Sean's body shake, it's as if he was vibrating, we were vibrating. The elevator doors were still closed, but the ledge wasn't moving. It's as if we were stuck on this floor within the elevator. And as he let his emotions pour, I held him tight, and just like what he does whenever I was the one crumbling with my emotions, I plant light kisses on his hair. It was like that for a while, he was crying and I just let him. Though nowadays, men crying weren't acceptable in society. As people's life becomes better over the years, the gap between poor and rich becomes small, and as everything falls in the better place, the society's mindset becomes worst. According to studies, it was mainly because of the improved technology, well, even before, a poor mindset is one of technology's disadvantages despite it delivering more intelligence to people. Society set beauty standards, so plastic surgeries were practiced more often than before, and the beauty produc

Everything is set and as dad told us, it was easy to brief everyone about the plan because Dr. Jhero is not in the facility tomorrow. He even bid a bye to us and told us he is meeting the world leaders who agree with his plan, so they could start conquering the world since each country's population is now ranging from billion to just hundred thousand to millions. I know it was to tell us to stop trying to plot a plan against him because he's already moving, still, we would try. There were times that I ask myself, why would Dr. Jhero play a game with us like these? He has his own medical team who could work for the antidote or a computer and hacking team to make another software that'd control his parasites, but why us? Richforte Medical Team of Richforte Memorial Hospital from Philadelphia, USA. If it is for the expertise of our team, okay, that's given. Richforte family excels in medics after all, but still. And then after I found out everything a

December 22, 2050 - CREF, Wolfe Creek Crater, Western Australia We are currently having our coffee break for this day, and as usual, we were sitting all together at one table since there are only a few of us remained, and then some of us were in Team A. As expected, Team A mostly consists of military than doctors since only a few of us in the medical team knows a lot about computers, mostly those who shifted from IT course to medical practice back in college. As we sip on our teas, some were sipping coffee, we tried hard to suppress ourselves from talking about our insights and reactions to Dr. Jhero's impromptu visit for the second time this week. This time, Sean knows he was coming so he came into the lab to meet him and they shared a conversation. And though I didn't hear them, I know Dr. Jhero was mocking Sean because he doesn't have a choice but to follow whatever he wants, and Sean is good to act like Dr. Jhero's words were affecting him and his ego

My arms drop at my side as I turn on my heels to see Dr. Jhero, as usual, with his mischievous smirk. From my peripheral vision, I can see some taking quick glances at us we stand across one another. I didn't smile, nor bowed my head to greet him as he instructed us to do. That only made his smirk widens. "Do you know that curiosity kills the cat?" he asks again when I didn't say anything. I raised a brow, "Why? Would you kill me?" He chuckles, "Why? Are you a cat, Dr. Hawl?" "No, I'm not," I answer. "Ah, feisty. I like it." He moves and started to circle me, looking at me from head to toe and back again, with malice in his eyes and I clench my fist. Seeing that, his smirk widens even more, and he walks closer to me until he was just an inch away from me, his mouth so near in my neck and I feel goosebumps as his breath hits my skin. "You know what? I don't know why do you a

Lawrence was indeed a great help to them. Because of him, they got more to know about Dr. Jhero's plans and Dr. Jhero himself, and the Colleti family. Everything that Lawrence told them has proof stored on a hard drive, and they will use it against Dr. Jhero when the time comes. The boy even has a copy of the parasite data file. When their conversation turns to Alden whose story about the street children was confirmed by Lawrence, the boy's reaction was a mixture of sadness and rage, a sign that he and Alden have shared a lot of memories and that they were good friends. "But don't worry about your friend," Dr. Sean Richforte says when he saw Lawrence's face. "We can still save him. We are developing a software that will tap in on the one that was stored in Dr. Jhero's head that controls the parasite, and you could help a lot. Help us develop this one successfully and we will save your friend, and the rest of the remaining population in the world."

The speakers have activated again and the annoying electronic voice of a woman came, telling us to go to the main lobby. And I was expecting for the electronic woman to repeat her words as if we didn't hear it once, as it always does but then Dr. Jhero's voice came, fury was evident on it. "Fools! Go to the main lobby now and all of you will feel my wrath! Do you think I wouldn't know you are trying to fool me by making a fake antidote and creating another software to control my parasites?! Fuck you all!" I shuddered as my ears hurt when his voice echoes so loud through the speakers, the others wince as well. When the speakers died, all of us look into one another, as we started to move. Nervousness started to take in, I started to tremble but I bite my lips. "You can't let nervousness eat you up this time, Rosella." I reminded myself. And the other me replies, "But he knows! He found out and now he is mad!"

All of us turned from where the voice came from, and everyone's eyes widen when we saw who it was. Dr. Jhero froze in his place and just like us, his eyes widen, surprise was evident on his face, while the man who owns the voice that causes his surprise stands firmly on one spot, looking at him sternly, authority radiating through him. Standing just a few meters away from us is General Silvester Gabriel Richforte Sr., Sean's father, the former chairman of Richforte Memorial Hospital, and Dr. Jhero's college best friend. Behind him is a battalion of the US armed forces, standing, waiting for an order. And standing just beside him is another version of him and Sean, though this one looks older than Sean but younger than dad. And then it hit me. He is General Brigadier Silvester Gabriel Richforte Jr., the firstborn, and eldest, Sean's brother. Realization hits me as a mixture of relief and nervousness floods in me. "Dad, brother," Sean mu

Sean Gabriel Richforte's Point of View If someone will tell me way back that I will be in a situation wherein the world's population is in danger because a crazy doctor creates a parasite that turns people into a zombie, I would probably shake my head, and tell that person is insane. Zombie was just fiction to us, a creature created fictionally, commonly used for Sci-fi books and movies, to gain reads, views, and to add entertainment and spice to the plot. Well, that was before. Because now, the zombies became true and we are experiencing it. Thing is, those who were once close and so dear to us became one, and it was hard to witness it, knowing that anytime, you need to hurt them or even kill them or else they'll be the one to do it to you. I didn't think that this time will come, wherein the world's future is in our hands, and we need to make certain sacrifices to ensure the future. "You are wasting time creating another soft
