[3rd Person POV]
The sound of hurried footsteps can be heard as three figures are seen running down the hallway with one of them carrying a bag that seemed ready to burst. One of them carried a briefcase while another kept his hands on a shoulder-mounted camera, securing it from falling off of his shoulder. The screeches and cries of pain of zombies and humans alike echo from the hallway they were just in, only serving as more encouragement for the three to move faster to their destination.
"Why the hell didn't we just choose to barricade your damn office, we were already there!" The one carrying a briefcase loudly complained while pointing a finger from her unused hand at the one carrying a backpack who was also leading the two behind her. This complaint of hers causes them to hear more screeches and frantic footsteps coming from behind them, making the person carrying a camera panic further.
"Oy, Saya, can you try to at least tone your voice down a little? You're basically broadcasting our location to the rest of those things behind us." The man carrying a camera replies, earning an annoyed look from Saya who was carrying a briefcase in front of him.
"We are going to the lab where test subject 01 is kept, don't worry. He is separated from us by heat strengthened glass and is strapped into a gurney with a lot of zip ties. As for the briefcase, I needed to take it since it has a few personal things as well as a recorder I can use to keep track of my findings." The doctor explains to them without glancing back as she runs straight forward with the laboratory in sight.
'Ms. Yura should have placed most of the items I had requested earlier inside the room, we don't have much time to get everything but we should be able to have a bit of what I need' the doctor thinks to herself as they continue walking down the hallway.
The three managed to reach the room with only a few more footsteps separating them from the door itself, the same could be said for the zombies behind them too though but before they could get in, the man carrying a camera slips to the floor because of a puddle of blood, making him accidentally throw the camera in front of him. The sound of him falling down does not go unnoticed though as the doctor and Saya look back in horror as the zombie was right behind the man now.
"Takano!!" Saya screams as she sees the man's calf get bit by a zombie that was now clutching onto his leg with just one arm as the other was missing, causing him to groan in pain. Saya goes back and reaches for the hand before the doctor could stop her and pulls back Takano from the zombie's clutches as he kicks the zombie away as he is dragged inside the laboratory with its doors now open as the doctor urges them in.
The two managed to get in on time as the doctor fully seals the door from those things outside, a flurry of what seemed to be multiple zombies pounding on the door behind them quickly followed. The room they were in had a table with two chairs near one of the corners of the room and had a variety of tools messily placed inside the room as if they were never intentionally supposed to even be there. Ms. Yura was nowhere to be found it seems but there were at least a few of the items she had asked for inside the room.
There were two medical carts in the room, a gurney, a table placed in a corner that had two chairs, a microscope, microscope slides, a bunsen burner, beakers and a cage that contained four mice inside. Most of the scientific equipment was placed atop wall-mounted tables to the side of the room. There was also a door to one corner of the room that seemed to lead to another inside. The two rooms were separated by a wall that had glass panes that allowed people on this side of the room to look into the other. There were also bags of plastic-wrapped sandwiches which were regularly sold in the hospital's food court alongside a plastic bag of water bottles.
Saya drags Takano's body and leans it on a wall as she checks on his condition, Takano's previously normal skin had become deathly pale as if the body had been dead for a long time now and he mumbles incoherent words. The doctor takes a scalpel and zip ties from a tray atop one of the two medical carts and hides them in her lab coat's pockets before pushing a gurney toward Takano and Saya.
"Place him on top of the gurney" the doctor commands as she readies the zip ties while Saya struggles but manages to place the now unconscious Takano on the gurney. The doctor then tightly locks all three of the straps meant for his body before using the zip ties to restrain his arms and legs with more than 5 zip ties placed on each arm and leg.
The doctor pushes the gurney and places it right beside a surgical cart that had a tray filled with various surgical tools on top, she takes a bone saw and wraps a tourniquet well above the bite wound as she wraps it on his thigh before going to the briefcase thrown to the side by Saya earlier and takes out a recorder before closing it once more. Saya goes on the opposite side of the gurney, slightly distancing herself from the still unconscious Takano, his pale skin now riddled with veins coloring his skin.
The doctor leaves the voice recorder on the table beside her as she positions the bone saw above the knee. She begins amputating without even using anesthesia and yet Takano remained unresponsive, it was as if he was not even feeling a thing. Before the doctor could sew the wound close though, the now zombified Takano screeches out in agitation as he tries to get out of his restraints, only to fail while earning a horrified and sad look from Saya who remained unmoving slightly near the gurney.
All this occurs in less than a minute as the doctor sighs to herself before reaching out for the recorder and sitting down on the floor. She turns it on and positions it close enough for the audio to remain audible enough for it to be heard somewhat clearly as the pounding of the zombies outside as well as Takano's attempt at escape disturbs the audio clarity.
"Record 01, the virus, designated by the GHO with the name Z-01 is a virus spread to new healthy hosts through the blood and saliva of infected individuals. The infected or "zombies" as movies have called them infect individuals through biting. There is also a minuscule chance of being infected by scratches, but that would first require the infected to have recently wetted their hands with infected blood. That is the current situation, there is a possibility that the current strain mutates and brings with it unknown changes to the newly infected." The strained voice says as more screams could be heard coming from outside the door.
"Test subject 02 was bitten on the calf by an infected individual less than a minute ago. Amputation well above the bite wound was done but had done nothing to prevent the spread of the infection. Attempts at finding ways to prevent the virus from spreading are impossible for now without any more test subjects. Recording 01, end clip." She states to no one in particular while glancing around the room.
She sighs to herself as she finds Saya just huddled in a corner before pushing the gurney to the door at the side of the room. She unseals the door and opens it, prompting test subject 01, who was also restrained to a gurney, to start screeching in agitation as it hears the wheels of another gurney approaching it.
She places the gurney that test subject 02 was on slightly far from the other gurney before leaving the room and sealing the doors behind her close again, muffling the audio enough for it to be slightly less noisy now. She gets the briefcase still left on the floor before walking to the table that had 2 chairs conveniently placed in one of the other corners of the room and sits on one of them before taking out a small bottle of alcohol meant to clean her hands.
She cleans her hands and dries them by slightly shaking her hands in the air, she places the briefcase on top of the table and takes out an image of her and her daughter standing in front of a fountain in the middle of a park. Her daughter, Misako Tomoya, standing beside her as the two smiled at the camera, narrowing their big blue eyes as their long white hair fluttered along with the wind.

A.N: Hey author here, so if you have any complaints regarding what is inside the "experimentation room", all the tools and equipment inside were never meant to be there in the first place. That's why they were described to be "messily placed inside".
