Chapter 11 - Resolve and will!

As he made his way into his mansion with his team and Chris and Janet behind he couldn't help but frown as he was staring at John curled into a ball on the couch continuously shaking and sweating his lips were dry and chapped "looks like he is having a panic attack Alex" said Janet as John hearing the voice turned to the group and said with a shaking voice "A..A..Alex is that you?" Seeing John like this alex sighed took of all his head equipment and walked to John sat next to him and said with a soft voice "yeah it's me buddy what's wrong" said alex trying to relax John but this only triggered him as he started crying and shaking more violently saying "Alex the military can't handle it alex will we really survive?" Asked John but instead of a question it was more of pleading for a positive answer but before Alex could reinforce his hopes he collapsed the living room was deathly silent for a couple seconds before Chris just sighed and checked on John and said "he is just exhausted he was under too much stress looks like he was panicking for atleast 30 minutes" said Chris while Alex who had a calm face but storms in his head said "Jose can you please take John to the doctor and have him hydrated" said Alex as Jose just nodded and followed the order but no one else moved they either sat or stayed standing taking of facial equipment and just looking at Alex in silence of course alex knew what they wanted looking at the laptop next to where John was which currently showing a video of a military base being overrun in loop

As Jose made it back he also sat down on a chair and looked at Alex, knowing what's next he just asked "ok stop being dramatic ask the questions already" said Alex as the first to ask was Otto an excellent tanker "what was the reason for his break?" Asked Otto this may seem an insignificant question brought forward by curiosity but was a question that would set everything up everyone knew why John broke and they were not far from it they needed someone as a pillar to provide it, instead of talking he just showed them the video playing on johns laptop and said "Lack of hope he was broken because he didn't see improvement he saw a lot of Death especially from the ones he hoped would save us all luckily John still has someone to hold him and provide him the will to survive" said Alex with a bitter smile he had nobody like a sister to give him the will to survive if his hopes in humanity were broken he would not survive and the living room once again became deathly silent because what Alex said was almost the exact same situation as his team they had no family or people they would live for and yet hope was leaving almost everyday especially today they saw people getting eaten personally they saw the chaos they were at their tipping point especially not seeing military keep order they're heads run wild and think of demoralizing things "so do we have a chance Commander?" Asked tommy everyone knew the meaning of this question the commander at the end was added as a yearning for hope and determination of Alex failed here he would forever lose the faith of his men and the mr And mrs.brown's

Alex sighed and said "This is war of extinction has come, the war came to suddenly military's around the world struggle, infrastructure and communications are being broken left to right in the military side, jets and special vehicles are not working anymore due to maintenance and missing parts the military are not shooting in the head as a lot of people still think they can be saved and limited knowledge on how the infection works leading to inside infection the gun fire draws in infected all military bases are facing a never ending war with heavy weapons often failing due to poor maintenance, military and civilians are struggling in major cities with hordes of hundreds a of thousands maybe millions, God won't help us"
Said Alex as everyone including the brown's look a little depressed while some of his soldiers had their head down not knowing what was going through their heads as everyone waited for him to continue Alex himself didn't know the answer he was struggling he knows a vaccine is impossible and won't change none so what was the purpose of it all to die again? And then something inside of Alex just snapped 'I want to save this fucking world god damn it I don't want to die again and I don't want everything to disappear like that fucking novel after everyone dies I will lead all of humanity out of these dark times and be remembered for eternity' Alex screamed in his head as he stood up catching everyone's attention some seemed lose others at the brink of it "so what if we are currently losing the battle I'll rather die then surrender they shall have this battle but we shall win the war we will fight we will survive and we will die with glory as we fight for mankind we will reclaim our world for our future generations we shall live forever as Legends" as alex was shouting these words everyone stood up and stared at Alex with a fire in their eyes they were burning with a will and a hope as Alex shouted the last words "GLORY TO MANKIND!" Everyone also shouted out "GLORY TO MANKIND GLORY TO UMBRELLA!"

Unbeknownst to Alex and his team his speech literally seconds after it was finished was broadcasted on every radio on the planet with every language, "I knew you were the best choice alex this is all I can do I can't meddle anymore"
