Z APOCALYPSE

CHAPTER 35: Apocalyse

☣️☣️☣️

Baek's POV

"Things are getting worse." Lay said seriously. His eyes wandering on all of us.

"What do you mean?" Jongin asked as I listened attentively.

"I believe that the virus is evolving and the mutation is fast." He announced.

"I've been working for this research for over a month now. The mutation of the virus is consistent." He added. The entire group just sat there in silence in the middle of the bonfire outside the prisoner's basketball court.

Yeah, every week, I bring an undead zombie head on his proclaimed lab while he do his science experimenting skills on it while I'm on watch in case anything shit happens.

"So that's why the zombies are getting faster?" Luhan asked.

"Yeah I've noticed that too." Kyungsoo spoke in seriousness as he drank on his cold coffee.

I just listened. I looked at Chanyeol and I could see that he's also thinking.

How'd that happen? How'd this fucking virus evolve? Fuck.

"So what's the plan?" I asked.

"That's why I called up a meeting." Chanyeol interjected as he pushed his foot unto the wall where he is leaning and stood beside Lay.

He watched the eyes of others who are gleaming silently in upcomming fear as he sighed.

"There's nothing to worry about. We have fences. We have resources that could last for months. We have drinking water. Electricity. And we are here to protect each other." Chanyeol spoke. The heavy silence and tensive atmosphere lessened a bit.

"Until when?" I asked but I knew this couldn't help the situation. Not this time, Baekhyun. Not this time.

"Proceed." I exclaimed.

"I suggest we build more defences?" Xiumin raised.

"Yeah, we could do that." Chanyeol nodded.

"How's the transmitter Suho?" He asked.

"A bit more work. Give me a couple more days." Suho answered.

I, myself, is worried about what's gonna happen next. I could feel it.

"How about the Intel, Xiumin?" I asked as I stood up and walked towards Lay and Chanyeol.

"Working, I just need to turn the dish tomorrow and it's good." He mumbled. They all sound worried.

"Guys," I sighed. "It's gonna be fine. We'll find a way. Please I need you more than ever. I can't afford you guys losing hope this time." I spoke. I tried my best to sound natural, and Chanyeol patting my back made me do worth from it.

"Baekhyun is right." Kyungsoo stood up, putting down his cup on the ground.

"We need man power." He mustered.

"You got us." Jongin spoke and he stood, Sehun stood too from where he is sitting quietly.

Watching these people makes me worried. Watching them having hope makes me weak. And seeing their blood for sure is gonna break me. I need to protect them at all cost.

However, there's Chanyeol who gives me hope the most.

"You okay?" Chanyeol whispered. I remained on facing the others yet I nodded lightly.

Tao raised his hand, curiosity sparking on his eyes.

"I'm just wondering, if this is a virus that turn people into zombies, then do they get fine eventually?" He asked.
