Chapter 35: Blue Latex

[K's Pov]

"Unfortunately... I have been watching over the cameras within my dying breath, and a white latex wolf has followed you down here. Either you will get rid of it, or you will break the jar for the Blue Latex to assimilate me. It's better for the Blue Latex to assimilate me... Than a white latex." I immediately felt both of my ears perk up to the direction of the opened vault door. Are they taking about me? I then heard a noise of a glass object shattering, followed by voices of displeasure and gasping.

I hid behind the pile of boxes once again as I notice the Prototype running out of the opened vault door and up the stairs. I slowly moved out from my cover to approach the opened vault door. From the distance, I noticed a man being assimilated halfway through by the blue latex. The blue latex has covered half of his body, and is now crawling over to his chest and shoulders. The sick man looks at me, staring at me as the blue latex covers his arms and neck. "You're... Not a wild latex. You're wearing a lab coat and a mask, and same one... From the cameras. Are you perhaps... Doctor K?"

The man took a step forward, raising his already covered right arm to me. The man fell on his knees, the blue latex covering half of the man's face. I slowly reach underneath my lab coat as I watch the man be transfurred into a blue latex wolf. I bring out my emergency syringe filled with the cure, looking at it and glancing at the suffering man. It's too late to administer the cure, but in return I have a new specimen to research on. Blue latex? Who could've thought of experimenting a sub species of the black latex actually occuring in this deeper part of the laboratories.

I returned the syringe underneath my lab coat, and I noticed a muzzle and snout forming on the man's face. His skin of his whole body now covered in blue fur. I quickly turned and ran for the stairwell. I heard a growl as I ran up the stairs, and opened the door where I came from. I entered the opened door and turned around to look, and the blue latex wolf is on his fours chasing after me on the stairs.

I quickly shut the door and slide my key card on the card reader next to the door, locking the door. I immediately ran away from the door, not turning my head back to look at the door.

Sitting on the chair, I raised my severed right limb, feeling the numbness around the severed area. A white wolf stands in front of me, and I looked up at him. It's Scott. "Will you be alright? I asked Colin and Puro if they have a spare prosthetics stored for severed limbs, but unfortunately Doctor K hasn't produced a prosthetic yet. He is in a process of producing one though."

I sighed in relief, knowing that I won't be like this forever. Can't my red latex body regenerate itself back? I am able to heal up wounds, but why not limbs? "I will be just fine. This is something I have to get used to for a while. I won't have a right arm until Doctor K returns or we find him. Scott, can you do me a favor?" Scott looks down at me, his ears perked up. "Sure, Prima. What will it be?"

"I am in a bad shape to protect you and the others. If danger arises, will you protect them for me?" I asked and Scott gave me a nod. "Sure thing brother. You can always count on-" Scott got cut off by the door of the clinic being slammed open. All of us looked at the door, and I see Doctor K step inside the clinic. Doctor K is panting as if he's being chased, and his lab coat is missing. "Are you alright Doctor K?" Puro asked as he carries another chair to Doctor K, placing down the chair near the door for him to sit.

Doctor K sat down as he gently removes his gas mask to breath clearly. Colin approaches him with a glass of water on his right paw, reaching out the glass of water to him. Doctor K held the glass of water and quickly gulped down the water in seconds. "There is a sub species specimen of the black latex being experimented in the deeper laboratories, and it is called Blue Latex. The Prototype unleashed the Blue Latex and it assimilated the last remaining human in the labs. The blue latex beast is as strong as you are, Prima."

Doctor K then stood up and approaches me. "Did the Prototype cut your arm off? Are you alright?" I gave him a nod, and I slowly stood up from my chair. "I'm alright. I just can't feel my right arm. Scott told me that you are building a prosthetic, is that correct?" I asked and Doctor K gave me a nod. "I am indeed working on a pair of prosthetic arms in case one of us gets one of our limbs severed. I have it stored in the containers in our garden room. Scott, can you head to the tower with Colin and Puro?"

"Why are you sending me there? Did something happen?" Scott asked and Doctor K let out a sigh. "The Prototype is planning to release the latex beasts out in the wild. I need you to guard the main entrance with the two. Colin, initiate the lockdown procedure for the Tower to shut the main entrance down with shutters. Puro, you can feast on the extra white latex in the Tower reaching the main entrance." Puro chuckled, but then I heard his stomach growl. Everyone looked at him, and he gave a nervous chuckle. "I guess I am hungry for white latex."
