Now I can feel the seriousness of this situation. This is not gonna end soon and easily. We have a deadly time coming.
" But why haven't we or anyone else heard of Kamrales living on Earth before, why aren't there any traces of them or any content about them in history? And how could they travel through space to such a faraway destination at that time?" I asked hastily.
"I guess the book 'Yudhyate' will give you all the answers, and some secrets as well" Kevin replied.
"But where do we find this book?"
"On Earth. The book is on Earth, in present-day India"
"So where do we find the portal to teleport back to Earth?" I started searching for something that could help us go back through the CCTV in the control room alongside analysing the blueprint of the centre. I couldn't find any place in CCTV which could help us. But I noticed that one room was not under CCTV watch, neither its name was mentioned in the blueprint. " Let's check here" I pointed to the unknown room. We were leaving the control room but as soon as we opened the door, the Kamrales saw us. We immediately ran away from there. The guards saw, and they started to chase us with their weapons. The siren went off, and the whole centre knew about our escape.
"How are they able to see us?" I was panic-stricken.
"Maybe the effect of leaves is over. I have some more" Kevin took out some leaves, " Here you go".
We took the leaves potion and became invisible again. The centre was still in chaos, guards still searching for us. We could hear the announcement in the city, which we couldn't understand but it was surely about us. We headed towards the unknown room. We toured almost the whole building in search of it and witnessed many shocking things. We saw the cells where others were kept. And in of those cells, I saw Adam! I couldn't believe my eyes.
"Adam! You are alive! I thought we lost you" I got close to that cell. Adam also got up and came near, with tears in his eyes.
"Robert! Kevin! You are here, it's such a relief to see you.
Kevin took out the leaves potion and handed it over to Adam, "Drink this and come out".
Now we three found our way to the room we were searching but it was guarded. Adam carefully went close to one of the guards and took the token needed to enter the room. The room opened. The guards were confused, watching the door opening itself but they didn't care much about it and let it be. After getting in we first sat down after all this rush. During all this, we forgot that we were turning into monsters. The trial on Adam was not initiated so he was safe but I and Kevin were not. Just then Kevin took out the glass tube filled with some chemical, "I forgot this. Remember I made this cure for our mutation? Take a sip of it and the mutation won't work any longer". We both consumed it.
Then we observed the room. We were just in the room we were looking. There was a platform, a device telling it is a way to travel between spaces and an operator. We looked at the operator but were unable to understand it. I looked at it more closely and got something of it. I coded some data in there, hoping it to be correct. Then we stood on the platform and the experience was mind-wobbling. We travelled through many spaces and almost fainted. I was losing my senses. Then this all stopped, and I was feeling dizzy. It started to bleed from my eyes, ears, nose and mouth. I was almost a dead man. It made me very sick. It took about half an hour to come back to senses. We looked around, we were on Earth!
"O God, don't do this to me ever again", Adam shouted, looking up in the sky and we both laughed.
"We are finally back", I was dancing around, "but which place is this?"
"Don't know but we better start moving, maybe we can find something or someone", Kevin started walking down the road.
"Do you know where are you going?"
"No"
"Then we will definitely reach our destination" I and Adam laughed.
We followed him. The sun had set and it was becoming darker every minute and still, we couldn't find anything about the place. We entered the proper city now and saw it in a terrible state. It looked as if a war took place here, and yeah, it did between humans and monsters. We were tired by now but Kevin was still as energetic as before.
"So Kevin, for what do you think we are walking for hours?" Adam asked while handing me by the shoulder.
"Shhh... you heard that?" Kevin suddenly became alert and stood attentively.
"Heard what?"
"Keep quiet, can't you!" Kevin took an iron rod from the roadside.
"No I can't, first you made us walk for hours for nothing and now you aren't telling us what is happening here"
"Get outta there!", Kevin shouted at both of us and threw the iron rod toward us out of the blue. We dodged the rod just in time or it would have been through our brains by now. We turned around to see where he actually threw it and we stepped back a few steps abruptly. The rod was inside a dead human.
"Keep your ears and eyes wide open. This will be common now", Kevin was sounding like a commander.
"I am grateful to you for saving us but what if it would have hit us and not him!"
"Hmm... you would die, as simple as that", Kevin said casually.
"Dude", we were scared but at the same time a little bit laughing too.
We again heard some kind of sounds, like someone was growling. I turned around to see something that gave us goosebumps.
"Oh-oh, guys we got another problem here and a bigger one", I warned Adam and Kevin while staring at the land by the roadside covered with wild grass. They turned around to see and stood still after what they just witnessed. Dead and decaying human bodies were rising from the ground and moving towards us. They were dead but alive nonetheless.
"Fight or run away?" Adam asked.
"Wanna be wise or be a hero?" I asked.
"Of course run away", Kevin said.
"So what are we waiting for?"
"I don't know. They all are just some feet away from us and you both aren't moving"
"Okay, guys, 3...2...1... Run!", And we dashed away quickly. Those living deads were still chasing us but they were slow to catch our speed and hence, we escaped them. We were panting and laughed too.
"It was dangerous", I said, who was very scared.
"Yeah but it was fun too", Kevin actually looked like he enjoyed it, "Okay, so let's spend tonight in one of these buildings, it's not safe to stay outside now"
We agreed and entered the most safe-looking building. Looks like it is a hotel.
"Great then! Take your rooms and check them out first, I'm off to bed, goodnight" Adam walked away to one of the rooms.
"Okay, bye Robert" Kevin also left for his room.
I was also very tired, hardly able to keep my eyes open. I took one of the keys from the table and went there. I fell onto the bed as soon as I entered the room. I remembered to check the room but I just wanted to rest so I left that. I didn't even notice that the fan or AC wasn't working. It was 11 pm when I slept, I was still having my watch which could stop at any moment. After midnight only, some shrieking woke me up. It was Kevin, I wonder what happen. I reached his room, Adam was already there, knocking on the door but he wasn't opening it. We were shouting, trying to break open the door. Then Adam came running at a high speed and kicked the door so that it broke. We entered and saw Kevin struggling with the living dead. We immediately took up objects available in the room and attacked the undead and what followed was totally gross. Adam swung a vase at his head and his head went flying to crash at the wall with blood dripping from the neck part. I took the curtain rod and hit him straight at his heart with it. But still, he won't stop. First, he took out the rod from his body, his decayed heart coming out along with it and then he took his head and fixed it above him. How can we kill him?
