The world was a wreck and there in the middle was me. Lying down on top looking up at the clear but dark clouds on one of the last tall buildings in ruins.
I had wondered what I should do after killing a bunch of mutants and draining their blood as drinks for myself.
"You know what, let's kill some more." I pulled my rifle out of the side of my side bag aimed at the horde of mutants which were strangely looking about north of where I am looking.
Drinking mutant blood, my blue eyes brightened up enough for one to see in the dark. I looked down at my sight with no attachment wondering when I would ever get a scope instead of drinking the bitter rotten blood.
"If only I could find animal blood.".
While aiming down the scope I could see a delicious meal. It was white and it had horns and legs that could climb and I heard a rumble. A big rumble at that. I could sense danger inside of me.
"BAAAAAAA!".
And there with the loud noise from the goat, mutants started to come here one by one while I was on the roof safe from the sound.
The sound stopped and all was silent. "Ah, shit they're coming.".
Knowing what was coming I went down to a floor hiding in the darkest corner of the building. Mutants everywhere that were out and inside of the city were coming towards the goat.
There were mutants like birds that had sharp teeth that would shred you to bits, it even had claws like a falcon that could easily carry you hundreds in the air and drop you, it was triple the size of a normal person.
Mutant insects would come to eat almost everything when they appear as a group.
"Ok, I need to shut up before I die.".
Surviving alone took a toll on me as I started talking to myself. Talking in my head the mutant insects were eating the mutant bird. The bird couldn't escape into the sky because the insects were pulling it down together. I had a good view of where they were gathering.
Organs from the mutant bird were spit out through their mouth onto the ground immediately getting eaten up by the insects while the bird was slowly getting eaten within its mouth gagging on the insects coming in. Insects were bursting out from it, eating it inside out.
*A Few hours later*.
"...The insects are finally gone.".
I was still hoping that the goat was still alive somehow.
The drink from the mutant's blood was still effective. I could still see far. Looking through my scope with my eyes still enhanced. I tried to find where the goat was but it was just all bones now.
"Of course, it would be.".
Going down the broken stairs one step at a time and sometimes jumping over the big gap in the stairs I eventually made it down the building and got out of there.
"Where the hell should I go now?".
Thinking of my next destination, I could see something far away, luckily enough my ability didn't wear out yet.
It was a black figure that was slowly starting to run towards her.
It looked like a human figure but the closer it got the clearer I could see what it was. It looked like it was pitch black giving off loud static sounds, twisting its head everywhere with the mouth wide open like it's getting ready to eat something while running like its life or death.
"Sh*t".
Realizing that the infecta was coming for me I ran the other way but stopped knowing that I wouldn't be able to outrun it. I took out my rifle while attaching the bayonet.
I aimed at it while it was running, picking up dust from behind. I keep my breath calm breathing in and out. In the bolt of the rifle is a glowing blue color appearing inside of the barrel turning into a paralyzing bullet.
I focused on waiting for it to come closer. Focused, it moves faster than before. 550 feet away, 340 feet away, 100 feet away, 25 feet away.
Just as it stares down into my rifle I shot it, making it paralyzed.
"Kree!".
The sound it made was horrifying as the human sounds made as if someone was stuck in the statics of a tv.
Knowing it's 3 feet close I quickly stab it in the mouth. The Infecta turned into black dust blown away in the wind. But it will keep coming back to haunt the last few living humans in the world.
*Sigh*.
"I'll just stay in the building for a while.".
I go back into the building that I was before knowing that I would be safe for now and relax. I took the bottle of blood-drinking some of the bitter blood that I had left.
I called those things infecta's since I can't just keep calling it a thing. The word infecta came from the latin word infected. It's an ancient language that history has probably forgotten about now.
There was no other name I could come up with other than that.
An infecta is a life form that was not touched by the green gas. It first came out of the entrance from the ground looking black and sluggish. Infecta started to involve having fewer and fewer weaknesses each time it was killed.
The 1st stage evolved form of infecta is weak towards fire from its oil-like body. In the 2nd stage of its evolved form, Infecta is weak towards the water from its fire-like form and it could start to walk fast.
The 3rd stage of evolving form of Infecta is weak towards physical forms, at this time Infecta started to turn immune to chemicals, could move, run fast, and have a human-like form.
The 4th stage of its evolution from Infecta started to have fewer places to kill, only having the head the only place to kill, Infecta head is wobbling also.
The 5th stage was what I just killed. Its weakness was its mouth. That's the only place where it could be killed.
It comes out of nowhere in the ground some 1,000 feet away from you and it starts to get faster and each time moving its head faster which would be impossible to hit.
Luckily for my power, I could shoot Infecta anywhere and paralyze it for about 5 seconds. The Infecta will come for me once a month every time.
It's been about 2 months since it has last evolved so it's most likely its last evolved form.
Checking my surroundings I fall asleep slowly closing my eyes as my ability wears off.
