Chapter 191 - Fox(h)oles

Delia, a streetsweeper of ten years has told the agent at the base that the monsters she saw are teens and young adults. They seem innocent but very pale. Since Delia uses a flying rover that hangs at about two to four feet above the ground while sucking every leaf, dirt or tiny debris on the ground or street, it's a fast way of cleaning every district of Majarlica and they are very economical and helpful. The vehicle was quick enough for her to get away from the Zilos and they are not so pretty or not so human when she described them to the agent.

 Huh! I hate to blow your bubbles guys but I think we are facing ten to fifteen zombie sh*ts that this time it isn't a training session but the real thing…haaah, here they come!, Slash said when he saw some Zilos eating flesh or body beside a dumpster on th side of an apartment complex. This is pretty much Ziloz way of keepin their identity hidden and their hunger kept a secret. Though, their type are peaceful flesh eaters, still they disturb city peace and obstruct an important law of all which is murder, more offensive is slaughtering living beings most especially huerts or ospians. Jesus, help us!, Menace uttered when he saw a teenage girl licking an arm which she pulled from a lifeless body of a woman. There are about two or them there and another pair not far across the dumpster, a half-eaten body of a man with his chest and side skins peeled off, gone, flesh munched on and bones sticking out, his eye ball still intact wide awake like he saw a monster and I bet he just did looking at his awful condition.

 Wait! Let's divide ourselves and beat these guys and gals!, Jax said and ordered Slash with four Flighters to go to the other side of Foxoles. Then, Jax, Menace and other two Flighters joined them for the treatment.

 F*ck, get 'em!, Menace flaired mist of medicine to the air to infiltrate the Zilos. When they saw us coming right at them with the flairs, the zombie like creatures ran as fast as they could to get away but Jax has already shot them doze after doze of sleeping bullets. As Menace continue to fire the flairs, the teens fell one by one to the ground and slept. Then, little by little their bodies, faces and colors change to normal, pinkish and breathing huerts (humans). Thank goodness!, Jax said and moved down with her RoboSkims and checked on the victims. Though the couple is already dead, some victims are alive with broken leg or arm, severed hand or neck, dismantled foot or finger, but well and good since they are still alive. Too bad for those who died and got eaten, I hope we could have come sooner to have saved them and protected them from the Zilos. Some Zilos are inside the abadonde apartment complex hibernating or asleep. Jax ordered the others to medicate the teens. When the 'cleaners' came they took the teens, ten of them and placed them on a capsule so they could rest and return to normal.

 Slash and his team on the other hand are still searching for the ten remaining teenagers. One of their Flighter colleague said she saw some Zilos on her GPS at a grand stand where people are flocking for Foxoles Town feast. Oh man! There are about fifteen to thirty people on site so Slash ordered to shoot out flairs to medicate the teens and go ahead of them to protect the people from stampede or Zilos running after them to feast on their flesh than the food catered by the stalls on the feast.

 Yeah, roger that sir!, another Flighter added. Go, there, oh no, yup, another one right there!

 That sucker's not going to get away from me, haaaahh!, Slash added and fired flairs and medicated the teenagers. The ten youngsters, four girls and six boys fell to the ground and slept. Their bodies cramped and changed colors. The teens are starting to look normal and thank goodness the Flighters saved the day once again. The town is safe and peaceful for now.

 Cleaners went to the grandstand and took the teens placing them on their ambulance like vehicles so as not to heighten suspicion of zombie symptom outbreak. Slash just gave the host of the show on the feast to announce that since it's been hot this past few days, the teens suffered nausea and coughs that the audience, visitors or townsfolk should take care too and not get caught of the flu. The people understood and wore their masks just to make sure that they won't acquire the disease and all. Everything went back to normal and the people of Foxoles didn't know what hit them and stayed happy or festive on Saint Pedro's feast day.

 Jax, Menace, Slash and the other Flighters went back to DOGS Academy Base without a word. They aren't exhausted because of the case but relieved that nothing serious came broke out of these Zilos. Though they are sad about the couple getting ripped apart still there were no other serious casualties after they finished resolving this flu or cough-like symptoms that turned teenagers to zombies and all. Strange but I think I have seen so many weird things in the universe I am not shocked with this anymore!, Jax thought and just laughed to herself. Haa…if we should've gotten there sooner we could've saved the young couple. They shoudn't have died at all, but still, we salvaged a town from the menacing virus! Thank God for science and faith that we got lucky this time. No, we need to be more alert, be ready for viruses that strike on dark nights and mid-days.

 Wear our proper masks, suits and clothings. Nowadays, huerts, ospians and AI's have protective day, night and space wears, gears, that we use so we could get the proper protection and safety against viruses and diseases that lurk everywhere or everytime, not only in Majarlica but all through-out the world and the universe. Aside from prayers and RoboSkims we also need to be vigilant for we don't really protect ourselves or fight just these viruses but evil spirits that want our souls and hearts, using the world's material things and sexual desires, fantacies to come to life and reign in every huerts, ospians or humanoids hearts, minds and spirits. Be careful of the ones that take away your heart and steal your soul!
