The Dream from the Night's Past

Zombie City

Dream from 13 November 2021

While traveling in China with a group of people, we faced a sudden zombie attack. Fortunately, we were able to escape and seek shelter in a camp where they claimed to be working on finding a cure. However, one of my companions was scratched by a zombie during the attack but concealed the wound. We managed to gain entry into the camp, and during a briefing in the auditorium, they assured us that a cure was being pursued.

Curiosity led me to explore the camp, and to my surprise, I discovered individuals who had been cured of the infection. These cured zombies appeared just like regular humans. They no longer spread the infection and could withstand being bitten without succumbing to the virus. However, it took some time for their physical appearance to fully recover. I decided to join in various activities in the camp and played soccer with the cured zombies, amazed by their enhanced abilities. It was exhilarating and fun as I kept up with those players. Suddenly, there was another outbreak caused by my infected friend. We followed the procedures and moved to another building complex, where we had to be verified before being allowed entry. As a precaution, we were locked up to prevent the spread of the infection.

While running, I noticed that both the zombies and unaffected people were being pushed into a field where oil was being spread. The camp authorities trapped them there, including the uninfected individuals. I decided to help them and lock them up. The entire field was set on fire by the authorities, claiming it was necessary to protect the residents from the overwhelming number of zombies. Following the procedures, I reached the fourth level and realized that I had been transported to Singapore. I recognized the place and managed to find my way back home but was greeted by a zombie.

Upon entering my house, I encountered people who recognized me but were hostile. They attempted to stab me, but I fought back, retreated to my room, and locked the door. I used my hacking devices to open the door and found a zombie entering. Meanwhile, the hostile individuals attracted the zombies, and they ended up being bitten. Using a scope, I checked outside, unlocked the door, and killed all the zombies with a knife. I found my way to other countries and sought refuge in a peaceful nation.

However, after living there for many years, the zombies managed to infiltrate the country, and I took shelter in a building that, unfortunately, was also infested. I fought off the zombies with a homemade sword, slicing off their heads. The government established a safe zone, but the rest of the country was in chaos, and survivors sought refuge in the building where I was hiding. We built a community within the country, hoping for a peaceful life. But our hopes were shattered as years went by.

The government implemented a system, and as an approved resident, I had access to any building. While at the library, casually searching for a psychology book, I made a friend who claimed to have received the cure. However, something seemed off about her. Soon after, I received a call from headquarters and was sent on an investigation to hotspot areas where zombies were appearing in the city. It was a precautionary measure.

In Chinatown, I encountered a peculiar zombie that couldn't be killed using traditional methods. I used my sword and special abilities to behead her. As I hid, a zombie family began searching for me. To my surprise, the friend I made at the library appeared, along with the zombies. Their brains seemed normal, and they appeared to have the cure, yet not entirely. The aunt, whose head I had severed, was slowly recovering, which shocked me.

The friend I made suddenly bit me, but I fought back and pushed her away. I didn't turn into a zombie nor did I show any side effects. The bite mark on my body slowly healed. They claimed I was like them, but I ran away, desperate to escape the pursuing zombies throughout the corners of Chinatown.
