Chapter 8 - Superhuman Comrade? (1)

(Morning 6:50 am)

|Sunlight has been detected. Going into power-saving mode|

It's morning now and all the shutters suddenly open, waking me up immediately. When I woke up stretching I completely misjudged the distance, I was from the edge of the bed rolling off of it.

As I fell, my bag came along for the ride when I stretched out to the counter. It wrapped itself around my arm falling on top of me.

"Shit, that hurts."

Trying to get up carefully this time I put my hand on top of the table to lift myself up. My hand felt wet as I touched the table.

Looking over to where my hand was, it was covered in blood. I looked back onto the ground where my side bag was and one of the blood bags that came out was stabbed through by the screwdriver spilling blood all over the ground. It wasn't too worrying since I have more than one

~Well at least the rest didn't get stabbed.~

I took my bag and put it on the table so that the spilled blood didn't touch my bag.

~I shouldn't let it go to waste.~

Taking the blood bag that was stabbed through by the screwdriver I held it in my hand as if it was some sort of a delicacy.

Squeezing out all of the blood that was left inside some of the blood went onto my finger so I just licked it off.

My body was overflowing with energy.

Just in case I checked the rest of the blood bags inside and there were only 9 bags of blood left.

I put on my side bag and cleaned the screwdriver with a wipe and attached the sheathed knife around my thigh, tightening it so it wouldn't easily fall off then putting on the military backpack and holding my rifle in my right hand.

I checked if anything was missing and then got out of the camper van. Looking at the corpse the webs were all gone. Its mouth was wide open showing a pitiless dark hole. As the sun came over a car beaming the sunlight towards the corpse's mouth it revealed little spiders that were starting to crawl out of its mouth and fly away.

Fact: Spiders have a more nuanced sense of atmospheric electricity, and can harness it to take flight.

~Being cautious is always the best option if I didn't want to become like him~

Leaving the corpse alone I went to the truck where I had set the timer for it to be opened.

Stopping right at the back of it there were only 4 minutes left for it to be opened. Waiting, I put my side bag on the front of the car while sitting on it.

~Wonder what else is inside? Food? Meds? Water? Or maybe there's actually some kind of monster human?~

Thinking of these things I wait.

*4 minutes later*

My mind had zoned out, drooling as 4 minutes had passed.

As the time ticks down to the last second, the lock opens with the thunk sounds of gears hitting each other and creaking as the gears turn, and the door opens.

"Huh, what?"

I wiped off my drool.

"Oh, it finally opened."

Putting my side bag back on and walking towards the camper van the door opens slowly as the gears creak. Mist of cold air pours out of it.

*Some minutes later*

"I know I said it would open slowly but I didn't mean it to be moving at the speed of a snail.

As more time passes it fully opens. The rising sun shines the inside of the truck letting me see clearly what was inside. The mist of cold air had lessened. Inside of it was a container.

"It's a Cold Hibernator."

The Cold Hibernator was a government use only. Just as the name says it freezes your body in time stopping you from aging or deteriorating.

It wasn't known to the public but I knew since I had tested out the firewall so other hackers would have a tough time accessing the files.

Curiosity got me and when the firewall was down and still being tested I went into the files before they had noticed.

"I really didn't think my job would still be of use after the word ended."

Stepping up and into the truck, I go up right next to it. Slowly putting my hand onto it was freezing cold. The surface of it was supposed to be built out of touch window glass.

Wiping the glass cover inside of it I could see a cold face with the eyes frozen over.

"Let's try opening this."

It was pretty easy to open it. The lock pad that looked like a keyboard on the side of it had numbers and other weird symbols.

I memorized 93% of the encrypted passwords that they would use.

And the others, well let's just say I kinda let a few other hackers get access to it digitally and physically into the International bureau by accident.

"Yeah by accident."

It made some beeps when I pressed the symbols instead of just the clicking sounds of the numbers.

In just a few minutes trying to type in the right password, it had finally opened.

[Password access: a # m 1 9 - $ 4 8 a $ 0 [ € ¥ _ | • ! ^ + * =]

Stepping back from the glass cover of the Hibernator, it separates itself going to the sides. The freezing air pours.

The person inside was wearing a green T-shirt and tactical pants. Half of her upper body goes up facing the entrance as the ice melts instantly.

"F-."

I stood there waiting for her to speak.

"For fucks sake give me some clothes if you are going to pu-put me in here! How in the hell w-was I supposed to know I was going to freeze in here!"

She shivers, still not noticing me.

"As a superhuman, this was just pure torture o- otherwise those who weren't would've d- died already."

"You okay there?"

She didn't seem spooked when she turned to me.

"Wh-where am I?"

"You're in a truck."

"I know that already. What I me-mean is where is this truck he-headed?"

"No idea I was just passing by."

She was staring at me silently.

"…For someone that's j-just passing by you entered a high security locked truck and o-opened the hibernator that had an encrypted password."

"Yeah, it was pretty easy to get in."

She looks down at herself seeing where she was. Getting out of the hibernator slowly, still shivering, grabbing the shoes inside of it. The shoes that she had weren't frozen from what I could see when she took them out.

When she had gotten out, the icicles that were surrounding her upper body had turned into steam while the rest just made her clothes wet. The clothes sticking onto her belly exposed her muscles.

~Whoa… I wish I had muscles like those.~ Stares :0

"Do you have anything to warm me up?"

"Huh? Oh uh, It's pretty hot outside, The sun could help."

Along with her we walked up and stepped out of the truck. I had my hand right next to the trigger unnoticed ready if she was dangerous but it didn't seem like she was a bad person.

She was just walking around looking at the surrounding area.

"Looks like It's too late. I couldn't do anything to stop the apocalypse from continuing."
