Tasty wagyu steak. Delicious sushi.

Tristan couldn't stop munching the delicious foods. It's free. Axell is paying for this meal.

Tristan and him have been exploring the city since this afternoon. Sightseeing.

This must be their last chance to see the normal world for the last time.

Axell is a rich businessman. A handsome and cunning shark in business world.

He asks, "Are you telling me the world would end soon? Because of a meteor shower?"

Tristan nods his head.

Axell tilts his head. Maybe his decision was wrong. There is something wrong with this kid's brain. A crazy shou isn't in his wish list.

"Hmm...."

"You might not believe me. It's true. Our government would explode the largest meteor aim for china. They still couldn't stop the virus from the meteor."

Axell is silent. It sounds like bullshit to him.

Tristan swallows and then continues, "In the next three days, people would suffer from high fevers. Some would die. No doctor could identify the cause. Three days later, all the fever would gone."

Axell wipes his lips with a napkin. He has enough of this mad ravings. He stands up. Tristan holds his hand and he looks down. Axell looks upset. It's a waste of time listening to this crazy kid.

Tristan warns," Stay at home. Gather enough foods and medicines. After three days, those folks would become zombies."

"Kid, you watched too many movies."

"I'm telling you the truth. Beware of people with high fever. They might become zombies or powerful ability users. Arm yourself with good weapons."

Axell sneers. This crazy kid's brain got brainwashed from watching too many Apocalypse movies. Too bad. He is a cute one.

He pays for their meal.

Tristan chases after him out of the Japanese restaurant.

He asks," You don't believe me, do you? Axell, I'm telling the truth."

Pedestrians around them have stopped walking. They are pointing to the sky.

Both of them look upward.

A huge meteor which emitted green light is aiming toward them.

"It can't be! It's just half past seven! Why now?" mumbles Tristan.

Suddenly the huge meteor explodes into bits. Tons of dust pour down toward them.

People are coughing or screaming around them. Cars have crushed into each others in the busy streets.

Axell's face turns pale.

" My eye..."

Tristan is holding his right eye. It's hurt too much. Some meteor dust has entered it.

Why? Why? Am I going to be a zombie too?

Axell asks, "Are you okay? Let's take you to a hospital..."

He drives him to nearest hospital to check his eyes.

The doctor applies eye drops to his right eye.

He comments, "A lot of people have come with the same problem. Meteor dust in their eyes. Many casualties from car crash. The government should have warned us to stay at home."

The hospital is packed with people tonight. They leave after Axell has paid the bill.

He drives him back to the Japanese restaurant parking lot.

He asks," Are you sure you could drive? Your eye... "

His right eye has been bandaged to prevent infection. It's still feel burning right now.

Tristan mocks, "I might become a zombie later. Can't believe my shitty luck. Should have stayed at home."

Axell is silent.

Tristan says, "You should throw away the clothes you are wearing now. Take a bath immediately. Virus in the meteor dust. Don't know if we both got infected or not..."

Axell swallows his saliva. This isn't logical. Somehow he has believed him. This crazy kid.

Tristan's phone suddenly got notification.

A message from guy with red heart," I'm sorry to let you down. Something came up. I couldn't meet with you today. Let's reschedule again next time."

Tristan glares angrily at Axell.

He asks angrily, "You aren't him! Who are you? Why did you lie to me?"

"Tristan, I..."

"Liar!"

Tristan has left the car. He dashes to his own car in the parking lot. He drives away immediately without looking back again.

Axell sighs. He rubs his chin before he makes a phone call to his secretary.

"Tomorrow morning, sell all our stocks. Everything must go. Liquidate all the assets. Buy all foods, soaps and medicines from marketplace. Anything we usually use in daily life. As many as you could. Stock them in our empty warehouse in seventh street."

"Boss, are you crazy? We can't do that without stockholders approval!"

"I'll take all the responsibility. Just do as I say."

The secretary is silent for a while.

Finally he asks, "Do you have any insider info from the military, Boss? OMG! Are we going to war with another country?"

"Something like that..."

"Yes, Boss."

Axell argues for a while in his heart before he makes another phone call.

"Uncle, it's me. You better hoard up foods and medicines. Stock up weapons as much as you could."

No response from the other side.

Axell sighs.

Finally he says, "Get someone to check on the meteor bits. There is unidentified virus it it. Casualties would be huge. The country would be in chaos after few days."

He disconnects the phone call. Not waiting for a reply from his uncle.

Axell taps the steering wheel. Suddenly he feels unwell. His throat is sore. Extremely dry. He drives his car back to the hotel.

He barely could reach his bed. He collapses on it. His body is burning up.

" He wasn't lying...am I going to be a zombie too..."

He lost consciousness due the high fever.

Tristan made it back home safely . He closes the door behind him and locks it. He falls to his knees, panting. His right eye hurts like hell.

He tries to contact the guy with red heart. No response from him.

Tristan types to his online forum, "Guys, there is virus in the meteor. People would turn into zombies after three days. You could only kill them by destroying their heads. Foods, medicines and weapons. Get them."

He logs out before they would mock him again. He could only hope that guy would read his comment.

His body is delirious. High fever.

Am I going to be a zombie too? I shouldn't go out today...

He tries to walk but he passes out near the front door.
