38 Struggle 2

The girl scavenged the lockers in the rooms of the station. There were some clothes she could change on, well, at least they don't smell like her old ones. 

When she got out of the station it was already dark. In her past endeavors trying to survive the apocalyptic city, there was a huge announcement that non-infected people should go to the Hollerpass highway. There are medics and soldiers ready to lend a hand to survivors that made it. 

Right now she's on Morren strt, a good start since it leads to the highway. 

"Damn."

But that won't be easy, as the street goes to the town full of the infected. She sighed but when she looked at a nearby town she noticed a difference. 

Her eyes are like high definition cameras. The amount of clarity that she could see is outstanding, she also felt unnaturally sensitive, feeling the weak breeze every moment. 

"ugh… What's happening to me."

Since she's aware of what's in the town she went back to the station and prepared things. She found an old thermos under the counter where the clerk works, she took a back that was damaged in the lockers. Snacks that were not defiled by a voracious mouth, and finally a makeshift weapon made with the mop handle, knife, and some duct tape. 

Surprisingly, the bag didn't feel heavy. It was so light that she felt like she could jump and she wouldn't notice she had a bag. 

After checking everything. She held her makeshift spear and moved to the town slowly, her bag would shake but thankfully the shuffling if the fabric is the only thing that could be heard. 

She went to the nearest building to hide from the infected snarling on every noise they heard. Black veins and dark eyes are the most basic characteristics you could define the infected. 

The sun was setting, and it was getting dark, there is no better time to roam this place. The infected learn and they certainly won't let her go undetected. 

"Dammit…" she mumbled. 

An infected walked in too close for comfort where she's hiding. The building was currently her leeway to a shortcut to the highway. 

The infected seemed not to leave her alone. She didn't want to use her spear however. 

—tonk— Crash!

The ceiling collapsed on the building and a fat infected came crashing down, when its eyes laid on the girl, her heart started racing. As the fat fuck pointed at her while screaming.

The Assault division 5 started mowing the amount of infected that they could see, it was going good until a special one came out of the crossfire. 

"What the hell is that?!"

An infected with a broad body, has walls of flesh in its body, like a Knight with a shield except it's made of flesh. 

"Screech!"

It opened its mouth more wider than normal, it made the men of the assault Division creeped out but they kept going on their assault. 

But then, the infected who have a shield blocked their bullets, even the enchanted ones. After the rain of bullets the mages and warriors came in. They hacked and slashed and the mages bombarded the infected with a splash. 

"Screech!"

But the shield infected was not alone. What came next was an infected with countless appendages like tentacles in replacement of its arms returning the favour to the nearby warriors. 

"What the hell are those?!"

"Assault Division, retreat immediately."

The radio in their helmets immediately commanded, the assault team tried to escape the new nightmares that had to come, black veins and eyes that were the same as the void.

"Look, they're going at it."

Lenneza pointed at the statistics on her laptop, Yula was looking at it affirmatively with a smug. They just officially launched the company called "Box box studios"(according to Lorraine.) and the company has about 6 people in its board of directors (including Richard). 

Yula, Lenneza, Richard, and Lorraine are the other 4 and the last one is Yula's father. They caught wind of what they're doing and decided to be a shareholder and an investor. However, was denied and became a shareholder only. 

The first game that was released was "flappy chicken" made by Leonard, it was simple and also served as a practice for Leonard before he started coding bloxcraft. 

"Wow, you're right, releasing it for free indeed made people like it. And where did you learn those advertisements?" Lenneza asked, staring at Leonard. 

Leonard slowly looked at Lenneza with eyes that stretched towards the abyss and slowly opened his mouth. 

"Hatred and malice." he said calmly. 

"..." Lenneza

"..." Yula

"..." The frog in the garden. 

The advertisement method that Leonard thought of is just the double advertisements that appear in sites, since there is no official video streaming site as of yet. The advertising method appeared in every video streaming site. 

"Well as long as it works."

"Brother you suck!" Lenneza interjected. 

"No you!"

Lorraine was fighting Leonard in Bloxcraft per instruction of the development team that Yula hired. Apparently there are also people who want to be a game developer and Yula took the chance and hired them. 

Right now, Leonard is fighting Lorraine in an arena they built together and he is losing. Thanks to Lorraine's superior combat skills Leonard is always left to cry. 

"Argh!"

Said the loser as he died by being splashed by an instant damage potion II. Lorraine just giggled. 

"Anyways, is the trailer good enough?" Leonard asked. 

"No, but the advertising team is working on it." Yula replied 

"By the way, did y'all hear what's happening on Termon?" Yula continued. 

Leonard went back on playing against Lorraine on Cubecraft. He then opened his mouth seconds later. 

"They discovered the Lovian Worm, a black magic creation entity."

He pondered for a while and then added. 

"It's going to be bad for a while so just release the trailer when Termon is settled. We're just a few hundred kilometers away from there."

"Aren't you worried?" Lenneza asked. 

"I am, According to father… the worms are making the infected into two categories."

"Two?"

"One is the infected… and the other… they're called the carriers I believe."

"Infected is obvious, but the carriers. Why is it…" Yula trailed off, waiting for Leonard to answer. 

"They have the effects of being infected. Without losing themselves."

"Ah! Basically… asymptomatic!"

"Close. But they aren't. Since they still display tthe after effects of being infected."

The fat fuck pointed at the girl, her last decision was raising her feet and it extended like chains being whipped. Killing the fucker. 

"Screech!"

The infected that were lingering outside saw what the girl did. All she could do is sigh and prepare for a whole new madness.
