Two had decided to go downstairs towards the main exit, it's their personal problem Brian thought, but was glad that Nelson followed him, and was surprised to see Blessing behind, surly, she followed Nelson.
"Let's hurry, with the noise created by that thing, it most have attracted something, and surly, the entrance is the only way in, so going through the entrance is like, going for a feast were your the principal menu" Brian said why running, at each level of the building, there is only one long corridor connecting all the classes, and the building had just been renovated adding a new exit behind the school; when Brian was in class, he had observed the outside layout and found out that, the was no trace of zombies behind the school.
Nelson had a sad expression as he thought of the two girls who continued downstairs, by now, the most be close to the exit or to say death.
After covering the distance, the arrived an intersection between the new building and the main building, the was a line drawn on the wall showing off limits so as to prevent students to go in to play certain illicit games, don't ask me, I don't know.
Brian turn the handle, it was locked, badluck he thought, who usually had the key?, he did not know, but wait!!, the directors office, Brian thought of going back up, since the director's office was two level up, but it was a risky game. Due to the situation, Brian had no choice, he had to run up fast.
"I would go back up...you guys, hide somewhere around, don't make any unnecessary noise, okay" as he turn to face the corridor; someone was standing at the end of the corridor, due to the darkness and the only source of light was the torch of their phones, the could not see the figure clearly, fortunately, the moonlight made the silhouette visible, if not, Brian would have run into it unknowingly.
Brian burst into sweat thinking about the possibility of passing near that think, he had a strange feeling, and feeling of him being shredded apart.
DEATH
That's what he fell, for the first time, Brian fell a scene of extreme fear, the fear to be killed, a fear that's normally not felt by human, it was as if he had become a prey and the thing in front, was a predator preparing to go for a hunt. Brian wasn't the only one have that feeling, everybody felt that omninious fear feeling them, it at his moment that the creature started moving forward while gnashing his teeth, his steps where slow as if confident that we would not escape.
With the momentum of turning back, I gave a forward kick on the door with all my strength, the door cracked open just like that, everybody was dumbstruck, same does me, since when did I became this strong?, why is that thing not running, we are going to escape...what is this feeling..
None of us went out, we all had a peculiar feeling, the outside was unnaturally calm, no insects, birds, or crickets, why?, the most frightening thing was not the silence but the reaction of the environmental wind and air, in fact the atmosphere was wired.
"Brian..are we still in earth.." Nelson asked
"I don't know, but I don't think that..the universe can isekai us oneshot in another world, without fulfill the criteria of either dieing by any means like train, or car. Or still stab by a rubber, or being summon by an entity, I did not see any extraordinary light....so I..."
"Shut up!...we are still on earth, but it looks different, mostly, I had never fell fear for darkness so strong in my life, this is overwhelming even to me" Jessica spoke out her mind, and everyone agreed, even though Brian felt dejected that he was interrupted midway in his explanation.
In reality, if all of them were leaving in the wild, the would have understand this feeling easily, the feeling of being monitored at each moment, that something would come out from any were, and feeling only prey fell, the night was the day of the predators to move out.
"How can an environment change radically in twenty four hours?" Brian asked with a focus and serious expression usually rare to see, all Brian's senses were up, and in full alert, he had the feeling of entering a jungle.
At that instance the creature had covered half of the corridor with it's slow steps, know, the creature could be clearly seen with the light but?
"What the hell?"
"What the f****"
"What's that?"
That's creature, was not human, it had no define shape, it looked more like an accumulation of black mucus which look disgusting, no eye, but, his body was feel with sharp and intimidating canine, ready to tear anybody caught.
Blessing could not bear it and went out first, I tried stopping her, but something was off, what was that feeling, as she cross the door, she disappeared from our side leaving her lover section spreading out blood, the blood splashed on my face, what happened?, we were dumbstruck, if we go out, we would all die, staying in is like given ourselves as meal to this creature.
Brian did not think twice, he ran outside and Jessica followed behind, Nelson hesitated but followed, and the door automatically closed behind us, and the silhouette of the creature could be seen as the door closed. But Brian did not see it because he was focus on running desperately, Nelson turned and looked behind to see a nest forming on the building.
What's that?!" He shouted, as he freaked out, and all of us turn to look, I and Jessica muttered the Same words.
"BORN HIVE!!"
Jessica followed in her reflexion "their progression is too fast, reproduction was supposed to be sterile to them, how come, noo..don't tell they found substituted, no that surly means that their intellectual level have upgraded, has the miasma of the rock erupted again..if soon two days would be enough for earth to turn into another world.......Shit this is an emergency situation, I have to inform my other clones and know their reports, from there majors would be taken, either to abandon this planet or not"
Jessica thought and reflected on the situation as the ran out of the building perimeter; The weather was strange and gloomy, what was really this change that earth is experiencing. The finally arrived the main road, which was empty, and now the only thing that was in their mind was.
"What next?"
