Chapter 69: falling ill and comatose state
On the 21st day the water has this strange smell.
So, the people at the edge squeezed into the sheltered place without dating to touch the rain water.
Everyone knows that there will be a problem with the rain water causing acid rain.
They all covered their faces with face masks or cloth so that they would not inhale the acidic smell for long.
But then there are sounds of rocks hitting on the top of their shelter.
It was actually rain of stones not ice cubes rain.
The clouds of volcanic dust formed into a cloud then it would condense into rock rain.
It happened in the previous life too.
It should be around this time that the earth quake should hit.
Vicky, Radha and Sakura have already put on their gas masks and are ready to watch the show.
During that time there is rumbling sound of some buildings falling from the base and the city nearby.
The buildings are burning in the sun for a long time and they are rapidly cooled for over 2 months of time.
Also they were constructed when the water is on shortage.
So the strength of the buildings is not that high.
The survivors grasped for breathe listening to the rumbling sound.
They are fearful if the shelter they had now would collapse too.
They cannot just rung out of this place so they can only stay here and prey that the shelter would not fall on them.
Then there is another sound.
"Bhooom"
It was the half broken dam that has broken completely with a big structure falling down.
The stone rain lasted for 25 minutes than it changed to acid ice cubes rain.
The dead trees nearby that got hit by this acid rain visibly melted in many spots.
Well this only happened because they were drenched in the acid rain ice cubes.
But they are still fine.
The scientists in the group checked the acidity of the water and explained that the acidity is high only in the first two loads of ice cubes.
After that it was normal rain with low acidity.
It can at most cause some irritation but nothing problematic.
It is predicted that the acid rain would stop after some time and will be replaced with normal rain again.
The big indication of that change is the reduction of the acidic smell.
During that time one of the small sections of the shelter collapsed.
Fortunately it happened some time after the acid rain replaced with normal rain.
Also the roof of the shelter is mostly made of wood and weight less things.
So the damage is negligible without any loss of life.
There is only panic in them.
After they are relocated everything returned to normal.
People are given food from the government.
Well it was only a bowl of rice gruel.
Vicky and his women ate what they had and did not go to receive any rice gruel.
The days were peaceful for the next few days.
Everything was dark and gloomy but Vicky knows that the darkness was about to rise.
The first stage of mutation would start soon.
At that time people would fall in with a high fever and they would either turn into an awakened or turn into a zombie.
These are the only two routes.
The first ones got high fever includes Radha and Sakura.
But the most important thing is that people should not use medicine at this time.
The surrounding humidity and cold weather are enough to keep the body temperature down.
Not only his women but also many people became ill with strong fever.
They directly fell into comatose state.
Vicky immediately called his guards that are around him to call in the lieutenant general quickly.
But Vicky found out that the lieutenant general was also fallen.
With no other choice Vicky called in the current military advisors and told them that the fever is very different and broadcast the news that no one should take any medicine this time.
It might be dangerous.
The medical staff immediately acted.
At the same time Vicky told that the people should stay away from the ill person and not to approach that person immediately after they woke up.
The commands are a bit mess but everyone followed Vicky's words.
Vicky also told that there should be at least one person with a gun standing close to the person in comatose state.
They should have good accuracy to hit the head if needed.
But they are not to shoot without confirming the sanity of the person that wakes up from comatose state.
Vicky knows that he would not fall ill on the very first batch because his body is inherently stronger than other people.
So it takes time to send him to comatose state.
But he still feels the sensation of becoming ill.
So he called in his guards and told them that the he is also going down with the fever soon.
But he did not expect that he is the last one to fall into the comatose state.
All of this happened in just an hour when the first one fell ill.
This is happening all over the world.
Fortunately, god has given a little chance during the awakening time.
During that time over 50 percent of the people turned into zombies and the remaining people did not wake up.
These zombies did not attack the people in the comatose instead they walked out of here aimlessly.
The reason for this is when the person is in comatose state during the awakening their body would not have a living breath.
On the other hand the strange energy around the comatose person would repeal the zombies.
In the future this is actually called the holy element that can safeguard the people from undead and some other creatures like zombies.
This is the reason why zombies moved farther and farther away from the location of the current shelter...…..
