chapter 51

The failure rate had now increased with the evolution of the zombie queen to a warrior class.

It was not known if the submachine gun bullets would kill her, especially since the scream of the zombie queen, now with the magnification, prevented a close approach.

The clearest option was to escape, but they could not do it, after all, if the zombie queen evolved again it would be the doom of everyone in the mansion and if she escaped from the mansion worse, it would be a disaster.

The red eyes of the zombie queen turned to Paul and Madison, who hid badly from the strange eyes of the zombie queen.

* Shouting

At the zombie queen's scream, which was much less than the screams she gave to stun, all the zombies went to attack both Paul and madison, that was not in the plan they had made, it's as if the zombie queen had read their minds.

This is impossible since the only alternative and what they both feared the most was the fact that the zombie queen still has the intelligence of when she was human.

Which in itself made a zombie queen very dangerous, the super-strong body of a zombie queen and now the brain of a human was not a very good combination.

"Run madison! " shouted Paul, who still had the calm smile, Paul had a plan and always came out with some backup, after all the life on the streets, the danger that wanted to take his life always, made him very cautious, doing that if the zombie queen had the intelligence of a human, he knew she would send all the zombies.

Paul had two more plans, one that depended on the skill of both Madison and the other to escape from the zombies using the various enemies that were scattered throughout the Spencer mansion, which he and Madison, as well as Alan and Richard, came across.

The other plan required a lot of luck, the key piece of that plan was Alan, who like them must have been looking for the zombie queen, which would surely lead him to the main dining room, where he planned to attack alone and if all went well he would have to finish off the zombie queen.

Alan awoke from his sleep, being greeted by the empty room he was in, not knowing what to do from now on.

He wanted to go after the screaming zombie, but he knew she had hidden in the main cafeteria, where she had already encountered many zombies, which was not a very good idea.

They had to finish with the screaming zombie, if they wanted to get out of that mansion, after all, there was no other place to escape, they had to continue the puzzles to get out, but if they did not finish with that screaming zombie it was impossible.

"Well, it's better to die trying at least... "Alan said to himself in an attempt to give himself more courage, to do what he was about to do.

"Well let's go get that screaming zombie "Alan said to himself, as he got out of bed, to leave the room, but something caught Alan's attention.

It was a secret compartment behind one of the paintings on the walls, I had not taken any notice of any of the paintings before when I entered the room with Richard, because they were simple paintings.

But moving the furniture, to cover the door to prevent someone from entering while Alan is sleeping, must have caused the paint to move a bit, so you could see what was behind it.

Behind the painting, there were two things, a note and a piece of corrugated construction iron, which was bent into an L shape.

"What is this? "Alan wondered, as he grabbed the two objects, he didn't know what they were for, while the latter had been written by someone, he didn't know what the corrugated construction iron bent into (L) was for.

Not knowing what the corrugated construction iron was for, Alan decided to read the note that was there, which would surely explain what it was for.

The first thing Alan did, was to look for a name, but the words he found on the back of the envelope, was "Move the bed "Very strange phrases, but that made Alan curious and he decided to do it.

Apparently, under the bed, there was a very small hole that was apparently not caused by anything natural and must have been made by someone.

Alan's confusion didn't last long when he remembered that there was an object he had that could fit in that hole and it was the corrugated construction iron, so without hesitation he put it in and it seemed to fit well.

The corrugated iron apparently went in halfway, when I needed Alan to put his skin on and then listen to something crackle.

The creaking sound heard in the room did not last long, when the tile where the hole was located came loose from the floor.

After seeing Alan, as the floor tile came loose he proceeded to pull it off the floor, only to find a set of stairs leading further down into the mansion.

The heat that Alan felt going down the stairs was infernal, so much so that after only 10 seconds of going down the stairs, Alan wanted to turn back to avoid going inside.

Alan's shirt was all sweaty, thanks to the unique means by which his body sought to cool alan's body.

The air was gradually short of breath, with every 10 seconds it took to descend, it seemed like an eternity, but eventually, the bottom of the stairs was reached, which had apparently led Alan to some sort of secret room.

Upon going downstairs and entering the secret room, Alan proceeded to read the letter, even with the infernal heat that was still making him sweat, luckily Alan had several bottles of water in his backpack that were filled beforehand.

It was 4 sheets that were in the letter, which was very strange, but Alan would not argue with the person who wrote the letter, after all, it was not known if he was alive or if he was already dead.

The cards were apparently numbered 1 through 4.

Letter N1

Whoever reads this, please tell my wife that I love her very much! I guess I can't go home with them, my name is George Trevor, I was in charge of the construction of the Spencer mansion for Lord Oswell E, which I regret to this day, after I found out I was called to build the mansion, I was very excited, after all, who wouldn't be when I found out I would be doing such a big project, building for one of the founders of the umbrella the company that saved a life.

But how stupid I was... moments after the disappearance of my wife and daughter, I was locked up by umbrella in a game for the rich, each branch of the umbrella was in charge of putting cameras all over the subway mansion, to test the new bio-organic weapons, first they locked up a small group of armed men in the mansion and then made them survive, I do not really know what the puzzles are about because I could not get to pass the first phase, since all my team died quickly, so the only thing I could do after days and days of paranoia thinking that someday I will be eaten, was to grab one of the shovels that had the mansion to start digging and see if I could at least make a secret room, escaping from the eyes of those monsters that have fun with our suffering.

Whoever reads this if you survive please look for my daughter and wife, Lisa and Jessica both are my everything, now I'm going to go get some food and I'll tell the rest when I get back.
