The air inside the abandoned classroom was thick with anticipation as Hruday and his friends prepared for their experiments. The room, once a place of learning, had now become their makeshift laboratory.
Experiment 1: Light Sensitivity
Hruday adjusted the straps holding the restrained zombie in place, using a makeshift device he had created to keep them from biting. Tyler handed him a powerful flashlight, its beam piercing the dim light of the room.
"Let's see how you react to this," Hruday muttered, directing the flashlight's beam into the zombie's eyes. The creature recoiled violently, its growls escalating into frenzied snarls as it tried to shield its face.
"Hmm, okay," Hruday said. "They seem to have retained some sensitivity to light."
Tyler leaned closer. "Let's try different intensities and colors."
They tested a range of light intensities and colors. The zombies reacted most violently to bright white light but showed minimal reaction to red or blue light.
"We might be able to use light as a deterrent or even a way to put them to sleep," Hruday mused.
Experiment 2: Food Attraction
Next, the group tested the zombies' attraction to various types of food. They placed items like raw meat, live chickens, canned food, and fresh vegetables at different distances. The restrained creatures grew noticeably more agitated when the raw meat was brought closer.
"They're drawn to the smell of blood and fresh meat," Roy observed.
Mark added, "They don't even look like humans anymore; they look like demons."
Tyler suggested, "We should test if they can smell our sweat."
Hruday nodded, feeling a little chill. "We can use this to our advantage," he said, noting down the results. "They can eat everything but are particularly attracted to live food. They spit out inedible things and get more agitated when eating normal food. This means the hope of them reducing is gone, but not all of them ate."
"We could set traps or lure them away from areas we want to secure using chickens," Tyler proposed.
Experiment 3: Chemical Reactions
Hruday prepared several chemical mixtures to test the zombies' reactions to different substances, starting with household chemicals like bleach and ammonia. Some mixtures made the zombies more aggressive, while others had little to no effect.
"We need to be cautious with chemicals," Hruday concluded. "But there might be potential for creating repellents," he added with a chuckle.
Michael joined in, "Yeah, zombie repellent for $9.99 only!"
Hruday sighed, thinking Michael was overdoing it.
Experiment 4: Discovering Strange Crystals
Hruday dragged the zombie corpses they had just killed to the makeshift operating table.
Michael hesitated, "Are you sure about this? What if a face-hugger like thing pops up and infects us?"
Roy, lacking confidence his voice floating ~, added, "Huh, don't be ridiculous."
Hruday, too, felt a shiver of anxiety, recalling a dream about it. He took a deep breath, added another layer of protection a plastic use and though aprion, and started gutting the zombies carefully while wearing a mask and face shield. Others helped.
Hruday held a surgical knife, and suddenly the zombie moved, causing everyone to panic and scream. They quickly ensured to stab every single one of them through the eyes, praying nothing would come out. Troy vomited, followed by others one after another.
The classroom air felt thick with tension, blood, and an awful smell, transforming the once lively place into a chaotic butchering house. Michael secretly prayed while holding Nick, preventing him from getting closer to the butchering section, fearing a gruesome surprise.
During the dissection, Hruday noticed something unusual embedded in the zombies' flesh. He carefully extracted a tiny murky stone near its stomach and shoulders.
"Look at this," Hruday said, holding up the tiny milky crystal, not even bigger than a little fingernail and this is the biggest one so far.
"What is it?" Michael asked.
hruday"I found similar stones in other zombies too—both red and murky white."
Tyler wondered, "Could it be glass or something?"
Hruday thought it was unlikely but possible if they had a wound that healed. Roy speculated, "Could this be a parasite?"
"Whatever it is, we need to analyze these further," Hruday replied.
They collected several samples for future studies they weren't going to bring them anywhere, hoping they might hold the key to understanding the virus or finding a cure.
Although Mark told them to open the brain he dined saying that they have already damaged it etc because he felt really scared to do so remembering a certain dream
Experiment 5: Reaction to Different Smells
The group tested the zombies' reaction to various strong-smelling substances like vinegar, perfume, rotten meat, garlic, and ammonia. The zombies were most strongly attracted to rotten meat and repelled by vinegar. Garlic and ammonia had moderate effects, while perfume seemed to confuse them.
"We can definitely use smells to manipulate their movements," Hruday said.
Experiment 6: Sensitivity to Temperature
To understand the zombies' sensitivity to extreme temperatures, they exposed the creatures to cold using ice packs and dry ice, and to heat using heat lamps and heated metal rods. The zombies showed a marked reaction to extreme cold, slowing their movements considerably. Heat caused agitation but did not incapacitate them.
"Cold environments might slow them down, giving us an advantage," Hruday concluded.
Experiment 7: Impact of Ultrasonic Frequencies
They investigated if ultrasonic frequencies could affect zombie behavior, using ultrasonic sound devices set to different frequencies. Certain ultrasonic frequencies caused visible discomfort and distress in the zombies.
"We might be able to use this as a non-lethal deterrent," Hruday suggested.
Experiment 8: Reaction to Reflected Light
Testing if reflected light could confuse or deter zombies, they used mirrors and reflective surfaces to direct sunlight and artificial light towards the zombies. The zombies were visibly confused by the reflected light, often attacking their own reflections.
"This could be used to create distractions," Hruday noted.
Experiment 9: Water Aversion
To determine if zombies had any aversion to water, they created a shallow pool and observed the zombies' reactions. The zombies struggled to move through the water, their movements becoming sluggish and uncoordinated.
"This could be useful for creating barriers," Hruday observed.
As the experiments concluded for the day, the group reviewed their findings. They had made significant strides in understanding zombie behavior and gathered valuable data that could help them survive.
"Good work, everyone," Hruday said. "We've learned a lot today. This knowledge will help us stay one step ahead."
The group felt a sense of accomplishment and renewed purpose. They knew each experiment brought them closer to understanding the virus and finding a way to survive in this dangerous world. As night fell, they gathered around a small fire, discussing their plans for the future and the next set of experiments. They were ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.
Michael commented, "Feels like we're getting used to this."
Hruday nodded, "Yeah, I don't feel as scared as I used to."
they all went back to sealing and locking the room-filling all the corpses to one room and covering them with spoil marking them with big X and writing zombie crops they did the same for those milky murky stones
it was almost night the sky was turning black they all rushed home fearing something might happen and slept exhausted with mild pain all over their body and more so in the arms
