The Infection

Prologue 4th of April 2023

"Alright men we're in and out of here in ten minutes. It's a straight up get in, get him and get out." A firm voice with a British accent said with the loud sound of helicopter rotors in the background. He then continued "our mission is snatch and grab Our target is a 'scientist' known only by the name 'zombrix23' his hacker name. We have information that he might be undertaking the creation of a super virus that causes the uh,'victim' to experience extremely violent thoughts that will eventually take over the mind." Another man in body armour and a gas mask was surprised by what his sergeant had just said he exclaims "surely you can't be serious?!" The sergeant replies with "oh I'm serious, and don't call me Shirley."

A medium sized helicopter landed on a field about two hundred and fifty metres away from a medium-large sized house. Five men stepped out of the helicopter armed with automatic rifles. The five men started to run towards the building. Once they got to the building they all surrounded the front door and one of them ran forward, kicked and snapped the door in half.

Once all five men had entered in to the room they were gob smacked to see that the building was empty. None of them were expecting this but they still searched the entire house. All five men could not even find a sign to show that anyone lived there for many years. The captain was going to radio his commanding officer when the newest member to the group, a young private who had said nothing so far suddenly, said that he had found a secret door that blended with the wall paper and made it nearly impossible to see with the naked eye.

"I only found the door because I ran my hand across the wall and could feel that it wasn't right." Said the young private. The captain of the group congratulated him with a pat on the head and "good work private never would have found this if we didn't bring you along." The door lead down a small flight of stairs that led downwards.

The five men all walked down the stairs to a dark room the private, who walked in last, saw a switch. Assuming it was a light switch he flicked it on and the whole room lit up and the five men saw a sight that horrified all of them there were all different types of animals locked in cages. Most were monkeys or apes, but there was a few aviaries filled with various birds. The cages were set up almost like a maze that the five men had to navigate through.

After a while of trying to navigate through this extremely large room they came across a door. They decided to go through the door thinking that zombrix23 was on the other side. They were once again surprised at what they saw there was what looked to be a body lying on the ground. The body was rotting and looked as though someone had tried to tear all his limbs off and rip open his stomach and tear out his organs.

His face was unrecognisable.

Out of nowhere a monkey that was covered in scabs and blood bit the private directly on the neck ripping away some of his wind pipe and his jugular. The other four men jumped and shot at the monkey leaving it looking like an over-used shooting target. The private seemed to have been killed fairly quickly. He was already dead.

"Holy mother fucking shit! That was scary as all hell! He is dead right? There's no more killer monkeys is there?" said one of the men yelled in shock

"There was nothing we could have done it destroyed his windpipe, even if he were still alive we wouldn't be to save him." The captain said clearly upset by this.

He really wanted the private to succeed or at-least pass his first mission.

It was then the captain and two others noticed the second in command starring at a wall with a very frightened look. "What's wrong soldier?"

He then replied with a quiver in his voice "These plans are for an ultimate disease that could possibly kill off all life on the planet."

It was then the four men turned around to see the private standing again... but something was different. The private slowly turned around and just simply stood there and starred at the four men.

The captain then asked "Private?" The private then ran at one of them and jumped onto him bitting and scratching at his face.

But he didn't kill him instead before the rest of the men had time to react he ran off leaving the man screaming in agony on the ground.

Then that's when it started the private now essentially a "zombie" still had enough sense that he could open up all the bird cages setting free a flock of evil zombie birds that spread the disease throughout the whole world in just a few days.
