"What..." Sebastian got shocked, his mind is too overwhelmed to think about anything.

"Yeah, i was a chemist at a lab, and when i got ambushed by the zombies, i was desperate. With me i was carrying a glass ampoule of fumed silica, and threw it at the zombie as my last desperate attempt. The zombie melted." Abigail continued.

"Woah! So can we also cover ourselves with silica powder then? So the rain wouldn't affect us?" Sebastian asked.

"Yeah, but the powder will eventually got worn off. My workmate covered himself in one, but the silica got worn off." Abigail replied.

"Yikes..."

"Alright the café is going to collapse. Let's get out of here." Abigail then grabs Sebastian's hand, covers him with silica powder; which makes him sneeze, and then they both go out.

Outside, countless of melted sludge that resembles human being are everywhere, and the blaring car sirens are overwhelmingly loud, making Sebastian cover his ears.

As they wander around the road whilst jumping over cars, suddenly, Abigail got attacked by something.

Sebastian, panicked, quickly took her shotgun which got flung not too far away, and immediately shot the attacking figure, which then slowly melts away.

"Good timing." Abigail thanked Sebastian.

"What was that?!" Sebastian asked in panic.

"The zombies." Abigail replied.

"Quick, let's go before the silica got worn off." Abigail continued as they both navigate through the road.

"Oh no! The road ahead is filled with zombies!" Sebastian exclaimed in panic.

"Hmph. What a hindrance." Abigail readies her shotgun, before shooting each of the zombies as fast as lightning.

"Woah! You're so cool!" Sebastian admires.

"No time for admiring." Abigail then ran to an underground area with Sebastian joining her.

.

"Hey! Abby! Who's this new kid?" A male asked.

"He's Sebastian. Be nice to him." Abigail answered.

"Alright, Sebastian, what do you want to ask?" Abigail took off her raincoat.

"What's happening? Why is the rain suddenly turn deadly?" Sebastian asked.

"Well, it's a long story." Abigail answered.

"The government don't want normal people to know this, as it could cause mass hysteria if known."

"But in this world, there are 4 gods; Helios, Hydra, Natura, and Equilibria. Which us humans and them lived in balance. As time changed, we, humans, started to pollute seawater, Aequor, the little sister of Hydra, perished. This envoked the wrath of Hydra. And once they unleashed their wrath, there is nothing we can do. The government is well aware of this, but chose to keep silent to prevent panic, they pass it out as a 'random cosmic coincidence'." Abigail explained.

"How did you know all of this?" Sebastian asked.

"I was the government's private scientist and trusted assistant. I know all their secrets." Abigail answered.

"Do you by any chance know what the god of Hydra looks like? Im kinda curious." Sebastian asked.

"Well, they took form of a little boy, with a light blue hair." Abigail answered.

"HEY ABBY! THERE'S A HOARD OF ZOMBIES OUTSIDE!" Someone screamed.

"Coming!" Abigail quickly loaded her shotgun.

"You stay here like a good boy, ok?" Abigail said before she heads outside.
