Prolouge: Two Days Before The Chaos

        Dr. Lee Dae-Jung started packing the vials into the steel protected case with sculpted foam interior that holds the vials in place very well.
        "Dr. Lee! Answer the phone!" A deep voice yelled through a intercom.
         Dr. Lee packed even faster, having to get away, knowing this was his last chance to escape.
        Bang Bang Bang
        The metal door on the opposite side of the lab vibrated the sounds of fits banging on the door. Lee had to leave and did so as he got the case ready. Exiting on the other side of the lab, he headed down into the sewers.
         He had been working on his research for three years at this point and finally was getting somewhere. Now he had to flee as he feared that his higher ups with use his work to use for more wicked intentions.
        As he ran down the stairs after locking second door by dead bolting the latch. Knocks rang out once again, the door rattling as Lee got down to the platform of the sewer and ran left, knowing where to go.
        He got a head start to finding the exit. Going right first and then left and then another right to the final stretch before he got to a small iron bar gate and slipped through the bars.
       On the other side of the fence he watched his step, not wanting to step into the water. As he got up and started to the woods he walked right into men dressed in black who shot him face blank in stomach.
       "Nice try, Lee. Your fired." They said and let him fall, taking the case and left into a black van, which quickly drove off.
       Dr. Lee started to bleed out, trying to crawl away as he could feel himself fading away. Blood flowed out of the lower part of his body, feeling that it was a vital organ they had hit.
       As he reached a tree, he leaned on it and slide down to the ground, sitting on it. He eached into his lab jacket, pulling out a vial. He always had a backup plan. If he couldn't keep his work for himself, nobody could have it.
      "S-stupid....men.....I always have.....a plan b." Lee sputtered our in pain, popping off the top and downing the green-yellow colored liquid.
       It had a metallic taste, souring his throat as it went down. It felt like he might throw up as it burned down his esophagus, similar to what an alcoholic drink does, but worse. It effected him, leaving him to waste as he passed on, no longer there.
      Five minutes later, Lee was moving again, walking in a strange way, growling as he was on the prowl. And sadly, a couple on a hiking trail was his main target for his next meal. He gained speed, and soon reaching them, getting the girl by the neck first and soon got her lover after, tearing them up.
