THE CURE: Beginning of the chaos

"Remember, no matter what happen, you must all survive!" A middle aged man, Doctor Gerald said as he patted my back while staring at the other army. Judging from our dresses, one would easily identify us as soldiers embarking on a mission. Yes, we are all soldiers, extremely trained soldiers embarking on a very dangerous and special mission. Everyone had guns strapped to their backs and clothes and a bag hung to our back. Well, we are not soldiers by profession but we are turned by some strange events which threatens the well being of humanity. A disease broke out not quite long, a very rare disease that doesn't only kill immediately but turned one to a giant creature with green spots on the body and long fang and claws, a beast, more like a beast of destruction. Only the lucky ones get turned into a beast while the others died instantly, or some died 3hours after being bitten. Some were turned into ugly looking zombies and were always seeing wandering about looking for preys. The whole city was almost empty as the only surviving people were kept In a safe place and were banned from wandering about the city so as not to get TURNED. The name of the disease is not yet known. Now, our mission was to go south to search for the CURE which was located in a city where it was first produced before everyone in the city got turned. The mission sounds easy to hear but what lies ahead isn't something easy, it's SUICIDE. We got outside the building and a chopper could be spotted waiting patiently for us. We all jogged to the chopper as we walked in one after the other and settled on the seat while thinking about the dangerous mission which lied ahead of us. Despite the word of the doctor, I still doubt if we will survive, humans against zombies! Thats suicide. My mind flashed back to my little brother who was now a zombie but kept in a lab while tests are being runned on him and receiving treatment, but without the cure, he won't get better. They can only control him not to cause havoc but he won't get any better. "Let's introduce ourselves so we can know each other better," a femine voice suggested while the others murmured in agreement. We are all 10 in numbers as we are all clad in soldiers clothing with different weapons with us. "Am Mark" "Am Jackson" "Am Jane" "Juliet" "Xavier" "Martins" "Silvia" "Vera" "Walter" "Am Dominick" I muttered not really interested in the introduction stuffs as my mind seem to be on the mission which lies ahead of us. What if we don't survive? Fighting with the zombie is stressful a little as I had fought one and won within 2minutes but what about the beast specie, only God knows how strong they are and what they possesses. "Hi" a femine voice said beside me jolting me out of my thought. I stared at her, Vera who has a smile on her face. From the expression on her face, she seemed to be eager. She's not by any way scared. "Hello" I responded taking my eyes off hers. I must admit, she's really pretty. Her pink lips is tempting and her hair which was unpacked making it fall on her face make her look more...pretty. But this is not the time to admire We chatted for a while and she seemed to be really cool to talk with. "We are gonna land now" Mark, our leader announced. "Get your load and get prepared for the journey ahead of us." I took my bag full of weapons and necessary stuffs for surviving as I hung it on my bag and stood up ready to land. The others were busy doing one thing or the other as everyone seemed to be really busy. Well, except for Vera who sat rigid on her seat staring down through the window. There's something weird about her, something am gonna find out soon. "Ready!!!" Mark screamed. "Now!!!!" The chopper landed and the door flung open and we all rushed out with our guns pointed. The place was really dark and creepy as decayed body could be spotted on the ground with worms eating deep into it and flies buzzing around. The ground was littered with body parts and skulls with dried blood. It was morning, the sun was s already in the sky as everywhere seemed bright. "We have to leave now before the zombie arrive here" Mark said as he inspected a particular body which lied on the ground with his head ripped off. "This is what the beast specie are capable of doing so y'all have to be careful. Walk in pairs, one person cannot possibly handle a beast. And note, the head is their weak point. Get a headshot!" He said as he stood up and walked away and we followed behind. I kept looking around as many thoughts ran through my mind. Those bodies, only God knows the pains they passed through before dying.
