Somewhere in Florida, in a lab, a patient was lying on the bed isolated with tough glasses, unconscious, with three people in white coat. One taking readings from the monitor and telling the other who is writing it down in a pad. The third one was taking blood samples from the patient with a handful of blood samples already extracted. Suddenly, the door to the lab burst open and another one in a white coat enters the place, a bit older than the others. 

"How is the patient? ", The man asked.

"Dr. Kurt. The patient's condition shows stable behavior. But we can't be sure if it is a success". One of the three answered. 

"Well, we're gonna have to do more tests to confirm. But currently we don't have time. Military asked to relocate the patient. They have sent soldiers to escort us. Prepare to leave within two hours. We are going to another location. And many other scientist and researchers would be joining us". Dr. Kurt said looking at the monitor.

"But why are we relocating?", Asked the man.

"Don't you know? It's shit outside. Wildfire is causing havoc. Military is going to contain this. We are in the middle of the city. We have to leave this before the bombings". said Dr. Kurt.

"Dear god. So many deaths", said the only female research scientist in the room. "At least our families have evacuated safely". 

"It is necessary. It has started spreading in the cities. It's just a matter of time until we face total chaos. To contain the spread, they have to do it. We are the only hope for the entire world. Only we can stop it, with his help. And he is the key to the cure. We have to sacrifice this man to save entire humanity", Said Dr. Kurt. Suddenly he looks at the patient and notices that the person is awake.

"How is he conscious, didn't you give him the dose?", he asked in panic hurrying to prepare an injection for the patient.

"We just gave him the dose, doctor. His body is fighting the drug it seems". One of the three spoke assisting Dr Kurt with the dose.

"That means we are going to succeed. If we can just-, Kurt sees the patient who is looking at him with weak confused eyes. Oh, Wolf, yes you are alive. I saved you. I want to thank you for saving my life back then. Because of you, entire humanity can be saved. Go back to sleep now". The patient goes unconscious again.

"Go prepare to leave. Soldiers will assist in moving him". Dr. Kurt ordered them and soon soldiers entered the lab with equipment and started preparing to transfer the patient.

Sometimes later, in a military transport helicopter, Dr. Kurt was sitting with other research scientists, and the patient in a stretcher and two armed soldiers.

Seeing other bodies beside the patient, Dr. Kurt asked the soldier, "Why are there dead bodies in here?". 

"Orders. From superiors. Bring infected test subjects". The soldier said monotonously.

"It's dangerous, don't you know. Did you at least tie them before putting them here". A researcher asked.

"No need to worry. The are dead. Orders were to only bring bodies". said another soldier.

*QUIET*

*QUIET*

*GROWL*

Suddenly one of the bodies lunged at the soldier biting his neck, taking off the bulk of his flesh. Watching this scene, everyone went into panic, some crying at the scene. The remaining soldier open fired on the assumed dead body prompting the undead to approach the soldier. He moved towards the back while continuing to fire. One bullet hit the head of the man which finally killed him. The soldier sighed in relief but the next moment, other dead man grabbed him from behind biting his neck while one more crawled and tore of the flesh in his thigh. Seeing both soldiers bit by the dead men. Dr Kurt picked up the gun from down and shot in the head of a dead. The dead fell down. 

"So, it takes a bullet in the head to stop them. Noted". Dr. Kurt started noting down his observation.

But suddenly he felt a presence behind him and the soldier who was bit in the neck earlier suddenly brought his face in right from behind and bit his face. Other dead man also lunged at the female researcher. Soon, the soldiers and researcher were both dead. Finishing off the back the dead moved to the cockpit. The pilot watching the scene in fear didn't know what to do and in panic left the control of the helicopter and picked his gun to attack the dead. But all was in vain as the now numerous dead overwhelmed the single pilot biting him in god knows where. The helicopter lost control and started to fall down. The patient however was still inside the special bed that was covered with hard glass protecting the inner temperature. The fall made the bed move inside the helicopter crashing to one side breaking the glass protecting the inside. As soon as the glass broke the patient opened his eyes. He tried to break out from the bed but due to weakness he couldn't do that. Watching his surroundings, he gives in to his fate, closing his eyes and wait for the impact. 

*CRASH*

*BOOM*

*SILENCE*

Creation is hard, cheer me up!
