Zombie Apocalypse: Creation

"Here's the key card... What's in this memory stick?" Xiaoyun thought to himself as he only found these two things on his body.

After putting them in his pocket, he turned his attention over to Ghost Nine and Ten, who had several bullet wounds on their head.

"Sorry about that. Didn't even give you guys a chance to talk." Xiaoyun joked to himself as he took the knife and pistol back.

With everything gathered, Xiaoyun took the invisible cloak off of Ghost Nine and tried to wear it himself.

But it was too small to fit him, forcing him to get Ghost Ten's invisible cloak, which fit perfectly as he turned on the cloak.

"Damn... I'm invisible now." Xiaoyun thought to himself as there was no shadow below him, and the lab tube showed no reflection at all.

With fifty percent battery left, Xiaoyun turned off the invisibility cloak as he continued searching their body to find any important information.

To his surprise, he finds one piece of paper from each of them, with the title appointment location.

Both papers were not that important as they showed them being appointed to travel all the way south to be led by someone named Professor Pan.

"Huh, his name is Professor Pan?"

As he reached the end of the paper, he noticed the date and the location at the very bottom.

"Ghost Nine came here two months ago from Beijing, and Ghost Ten came here five years ago... Which is before the outbreak, and he came all the way from Los Angeles?"

Xiaoyun immediately connected the dot as he thought back to the word that one of them was speaking, which had a heavy American accent.

To confirm, he went back to remove both of their face cover, which revealed Ghost Ten to be a white man.

"The hell... How big is this damn secret organization?"

After Xiaoyun gave up trying to think what he was really dealing with, he went over to pick up the box and turned on his invisible cloak before heading straight towards the exit.

But as he stopped in the hallway, he could tell there were people inside the experimental rooms, as sounds were coming out of them.

"I should go back up first... The troops are going to be worried if I stay here for too long."

Xiaoyun continued to head towards the exit, not stopping until he reached the entrance where he came from.

"How do I open this door?" Xiaoyun thought to himself as he couldn't find any scanner to scan the card from the inside.

But just as he found the scanner at one of the entrances' corners, he suddenly heard a loud roaring sound coming from behind him.

As he turned around, he could see a tank mutant running at him at full speed, with the pieces of the fractured mask on his face indicating it was Professor Pan.

"What the fuck!"

An RPG appeared right into Xiaoyun's hand as he instantly pulled the trigger, shooting the rocket right at the tank.

A loud bang echoed through the hallway, and the loud explosion shook the entire ground in such a tight space, but Xiaoyun didn't wait for the smoke to clear.

He created a second RPG and fired it again, then another, to ensure the mutant was fully dead.

As the smoke dissipated, the tank mutant was still barely holding on. But the muscles missing in his arm to block the rockets were rapidly regenerating.

"Die, die, die!"

Xiaoyun fired two more rockets at the mutant again, aiming at its head again and again until his head started to get a little dizzy.

This time, when the smoke dissipated, the mutant was blown into pieces and scattered all over the floor, with cracks showing on the nearby walls and ground from all the explosions.

"My invisible cloak really didn't work against that. Is it through smell or something?"

Xiaoyun didn't think much of it as he quickly scanned the card and left into the elevator, pressing 1st floor as he spammed the close door button.

As the elevator began to go up, Xiaoyun finally let out a sigh of relief as he collapsed onto the floor.

"Holy shit... I'm never doing that again." Xiaoyun murmured as he still couldn't believe he had managed to pull it off without messing up the plan that he just made up on the spot.

After arriving at the first floor, Xiaoyun purposely pressed the hold button to force it to stay on the first floor.

Next, he took out his phone and called one of the Lieutenant Colonel to have the entire army head back to the hotel from the harbor.

"What the hell is that sound?" One of the scientists asked as he turned to his peer.

"I don't know... Should we go out and check it?" The other scientist asked as he turned to the third scientist.

"I don't know either... But Professor Pan told us to remain inside."

The three chose to remain in the room as the ground shake was now even more severe, and sounds of explosions could be heard.

"Did someone fucked up the experiment that badly?" The third scientist suggested.

"No way. There are no explosive ingredients. Besides, we conduct 'real' experiments when we're outside the base." The first scientist pointed out.

"Outside... Man, I miss being able to see the sun," the second scientist murmured as he thought back to the time they had gone out to experiment.

As the sound began to die down, the three of them decided to step foot outside.

"What..."

All three of them were stunned as the entire hallway was filled with dust, with cracks and rubbles all over the ground.

More importantly, they noticed a dead body right in the middle, with pieces of suits all over the ground.

"Did someone experiment inside the lab?" One of the scientists suggested as they looked over to the other two.

"I don't recall having live samples in the lab at all... Let's go call everyone to come out first to decide."

After they pulled everyone from their experimentation room, they went inside the security room.

"Where is Professor Pan?" One of them asked softly.

"I don't know... We couldn't find him anywhere at all." Another scientist replied.

As they sat in a circle, the oldest-looking one among them decided to speak up first.

"You guys probably had seen what happened inside the lab... I'm certain that someone had broken inside the lab.

Our defense wasn't activated, and Professor Pan... He's dead on the floor right outside. It's the body you guys all saw when walking past."

All of the scientists let out disbelief as their world was now flipped upside down, looking a little lost as none of them knew what to do next.

But just before someone could speak up, a door knock suddenly appeared from the outside.

After waiting for a bit, Xiaoyun's army finally arrived at the hotel entrance with pickup trucks armed with artillery on the back.

Some of the soldiers let out a sigh of relief after seeing Xiaoyun, as it dismissed the rumor that he was trapped inside enemy territory.

"Your face?"

Kate was stunned to see that the purple color on his face had completely vanished, leaving no trace behind.

"Can you distribute this to those who were poisoned? This is the cure to wake them up... And make sure to dilute it with 95% water."

"Okay... But where are you going?" Kate curiously asked as she accepted the box that Xiaoyun handed over.

"To finish the job."

Xiaoyun headed back inside the hotel with one squad, going straight to the elevator, as all the soldiers had nothing else to do besides waiting for them to come back up.

As they headed downstairs in a crowded elevator, one of the soldiers noticed Xiaoyun's had an oddly black cloak on him.

"Commander, what's this piece of cloth you are wearing?" The squad leader curiously asked.

"Just a cloak I found... You'll get to use it one day in the future." Xiaoyun replied as they exited the elevator.

The soldiers couldn't understand what Xiaoyun meant, but they all felt having a cloak was impractical for combat.

However, the black cloak covering the entirety of Xiaoyun's back made him look mysterious and stylish.

As they arrived at the main entrances, Xiaoyun took out the keycard and walked up to the scanner.

The metal entrance began to slide to the side, revealing the endless-looking hallway for all the soldiers to see.

"Holy... How did they make something so big down here?" One of the soldiers murmured as he couldn't believe the spacious lobby they were in.

"Ahem, commander Xiaoyun, what are we doing next?"

The squad cleared his throat, making the other soldiers focus on the task at hand as they were still in unknown territory.

"Go through room by room and arrest everyone that's in it. Bring them to the hallway here... If they resist or have a weapon of their own, you have the right to open fire without asking."

"Yes, sir."
