BXBX NOVEL Chapter 278 The Start Of It All
It was strange. You would think anyone who had actually caused the zombie apocalypse and this disastrous situation would have kept it quiet to the best of their abilities. Yet, here Humfree was, claiming that he and his wife had created the zombie virus, and quite proudly.
"Judging from your reaction, I\'m guessing Sarah might have told you differently," the old man sighed, like a father disappointed in his kid\'s actions. "You see, all of what I am about to tell you is true.
"Both Sarah and I were scientists for the military. Our job, though, was to produce the next set of bioweapons. I\'m sure you have probably heard of biowarfare before, but you see, we were also tasked with creating a solution that would increase the strength of our own forces," Humfree explained.
"Now, you might be surprised at what I\'m about to tell you, but we had virtually zero successes. Only small ones here and there, but nothing that would be winning us any awards. But something had occurred.
"A drastic change that would force all the world governments to work together."
--------
20 years ago.
A meeting had been called, where the Prime Minister, as well as high-ranking military officials, top scientists, and more had all been summoned. They were sitting in one room, with several guards standing by the door.
Other than the look on the Prime Minister\'s face, the others all looked nervous as they turned to each other.
"Before you came in here, each one of you signed a very important contract, so I\'m sure you all know just how confidential this project that I am about to talk to you about is," the Prime Minister said.
He stood up and paced around the oval desk where the others were sitting.
"You might find all of this hard to believe... but I think it might be easier if I played you the video instead."
A projector rolled down from the top of the ceiling, and a video started to play. There was a person on the screen. They looked hurt, with scratches and burns on their face, and their hair was oddly purple.
If one saw a human with purple hair, they would automatically assume it was dyed. But when looking at this person, the hair colour appeared natural. The facial hair and eyebrows were all just perfect in colour.
"My name is Bookloh. Please do not be frightened by this message. I don\'t have much time, none of us do, which is why I am sending this out. Our planet was attacked by what we have called Deemoon.
"They came through a meteor shower that hit us. They appeared small in number at first and weren\'t too difficult for us to deal with. But somehow, they started to multiply and grow in number, at the same time they were growing stronger as well.
"We are but a small resistance force now against them, and I don\'t think we will live much longer. Which is why I am sending out this message to warn you. We have managed to obtain some information from the Deemoon.
"They seem to have done this before, travelling to different planets. Based on the information we have, their next target is you. That is why I have sent out this video. If we fail to get rid of them, then I wish for the next to have more of a fighting chance.
"If you wish to confirm the information I have sent you is true, then please have a look at these coordinates. May you be blessed."
The video ended, and the lights in the room turned on.
"Is this some kind of joke, sir?" one of the men asked.
"Does it look like I am laughing? Would I bring you all here because it\'s a joke?" the Prime Minister replied. "The original footage that was sent to us was in a strange language we did not know.
"We received the information from afar, and when downloading the device, it went through our database, and the video\'s language had changed to English. It is clear that the technology of those who sent us this is far more advanced than our own.
"Finally, we checked the coordinates that had been given to us. We have confirmed there is indeed a meteor strike heading our way. It will reach us in approximately 20 years\' time.
"We have gone through several solutions already, trying to blow these things up before they even reach us, but it will just cause even more trouble for the entire planet. We currently have around 20 years\' time before there is an invasion of Earth."
--------
Humfree explained the events that had occurred back then.
"You see, we were aware that something was coming. They even sent us some basic information on the demons\' appearance and their skills as well. The military had managed to act relatively quickly all around the world.
"But they had no answer for this city. The main area that was affected and had the most meteorites fall was right here. The information we got from our aliens showed us a few things as well.
"They had nuclear weapons just like us, and they had tried to use them on the demons. However, for some reason, that only accelerated their growth. In fact, it showed that when they attempted using nuclear weapons, that was when the demons started to multiply.
"Since all the information we received so far seemed to be true, the military won\'t test it out on this city, and instead, Sarah and I were left to come up with a solution. Care to guess what that solution was?"
After hearing everything so far, Zain had a pretty good guess. Based on the way Humfree was proud of those around him.
"The zombies."
