Chapter 16 - First Day of Outbreak

Next day...(8:00 am)

He called his father first regarding the delivery of seeds and fertilizers.

"Hello! Dad, there will be a delivery seeds and fertilizers coming. Use the basement as a storage."

.

"Ok son, message me if it will be delivered today."

"..."

He immediately went to a seed and fertilizer store not far from the hotel.

"Good morning costumer, how may I help you?" The storekeeper said as soon as Bats stepped inside the store.

Bats replied,

"Boss, I want 10 sacks of each seed and 500 sacks of fertilizers to be delivered today. And I want you to prepare 50 sacks of each seed by first week of December. I'll pay in advance but be sure to keep our transaction secret."

The storekeeper was shocked in surprise,

"Huhuhu,no problem. That's a big purchase Sir. You sure do have a massive land I bet. As for the payment, we only accept cash Sir. "

Bats smiled,

"No problem, I also prefer cash."

After half an hour, transaction payment is done. Next, he went to a gasoline tank station. It took him 10 minutes finding a gasoline tank station.

"Good morning Sir, how may I help you?" The manager said,

Bats went straight to the point,

"Boss, I want you to deliver 2000 gasoline tank. I'll send you the address. And prepare another 5000 gasoline tanks on the first week of December. Don't worry, I'll pay in advance."

The manager was shocked and was happy hearing this. The more the buyer buy, the more percentage he has.

After talking with him, Bats sent a message to his father.

-Dad, 2000 gasoline tanks will also be delivered today, use the empty rooms from 3rd to 7th floor. And also inform Brother Ricardo to check the surveillance room from 2nd floor.-

-Okay son, I'll inform him immediately.-

After finishing his business, he went back to the hotel. He began studying the location of supermarkets, pharmacy stores, shooting range areas and gun stores from Manila for the next phase hoarding plan.

Early in the morning, he departed from his hotel. After straight 4 hrs of driving, Bats arrived at Finest Hotel, Manila. He already booked a room the day before departing. He slept for a while due to tired from driving.

December 01, 2024 (8:00am)

Days passed by, he hoarded 5 big supermarkets, 15 pharmacy stores, 5 shooting range area and 10 gun stores.

[The police and the investigation team still doesn't have a single clue on who might be the one behind all the incidents this past days. The only clue that the culprit left behind was the same note that had happened in Baguio.]

[Now these past days, the people began looting places to places. The government officials are now having a headache on what had happened.]

[They had now placed a bounty to so whoever behind the incidents especially the one who wrote the note "Secure Safe Location and Supplies, An Apocalypse will be Coming Soon." The offials are now giving a statement....]

[To so whoever point out the culprit behind the note, we will give Php10,000,000($200,000). Please do not believe on what the note says. It will only lead to panic, stampede, and chaos. I repeat, do not believe in such rumors as the end of the world.]

[That was the statement from one of the representative from the higher up. I believe that we must believe on what they say my fellow countrymen. Please cooperate from the officials.]

Rainbow House

"What's the status behind?" an old man with an eyeglass wearing a black tuxedo asked.

"Mr. Governor, the report says the incidents happened these past days were questionable. The resources cannot be hoarded within a single night by one man let alone a group." a beautiful lady with a ponytail answered.

"What do you mean by that?" the vice governor asked.

"One man cannot possibly hoard all the resources within one night, with too much resources it will be difficult for that man to transport it. Let alone a group or maybe organization, let's say for example one of the biggest supermarket. If they hoarded it within one night, the security guard will notice their movement especially the surveillance that were sorrounding the area."

"According to the investigation team, there were no suspicious group, or any suspicious activities done."

"The surveillance inside were dead meat, all surveillance inside lost their signal but the surveillance outside were normal. It's as if the resources were gone in a blink of an eye." the lady replied.

"This is a pain in the ass. The people were demanding a protest to let the government take action. Most people began looting small businessess. There were already reports of multiple injuries, and attempted murder. I'm afraid if this goes on, people will soon start killing others." the mayor said.

"Please do all your best to find the culprit. And keep an eye to the remaining supermarkets and the others. The culprit might be back again." the vice mayor added.

The lady nodded then left leaving the officials with their disappointed faces.

Finest Hotel, Manila

Bats was in the living room watching from his phone about the incidents this past days.

"I watched many apocalypse movie this past days. I never thought in real life, there will also be cultist group to be formed. I wonder if they will also be a pain like those in movies."

"Not my problem, as long as they don't get in my way. Let's visit my companions later."

After many hours had passed, the sky began to change.

Justice Country (5:30 pm)

In a small village near the city.

"What's happening? Who sounded the alarm? Is there an enemy attack?" Roger asked in panic.

Cyclops was panting, trying to calm his breath.

"Sir, there's something wrong with 3 of our men."

"What do you mean Cyclops?" Roger asked in curiosity.

"The 3 began to vomit blood when they were drinking. Suddenly, they collapsed. The more shocking part is they were dead when a doctor checked them but..." Cyclops replied.

Roger interrupted,

"But? But what? tell me!!!"

"The 3 suddenly woke up five minutes just when they were declared dead. Their eyes were ferociously blood red, they began attacking, biting and eating the flesh of our men."

"We had no choice so we shot them on the spot. But many of our men died." Cyclops replied in agony.

After hearing those words from. Roger immediately went outside to check the situation. He saw most of his men died with the flesh from their neck, chest, hand ripped apart. Bloods were all over the ground and some were in the doors.

"Sir Roger, this is bad. I already checked the pulse and the eyes of the 3 and there were really no signs of life. Yet, they woke up and started attacking who was anyone near them."

"Their comrades tried to stop them but were attack instead. 10 people died. But I don't get it, 2 of the 10 were slightly injured but were dead. They only had a bite mark from their hands yet they were dead. There's something wrong." the doctor said.

Minutes later, the 10 who had just died began rising up. The doctor fall down with his butt on the ground when he just saw them rising. He was confused, he was sure of it that they died. Seconds later, they roared seeing those who were near them.

"raaaaaaaaaaaa!"

They started attacking them. Each of them had already been bitten, and eaten.

"Aaaaaaa,help. Help me!"

"I'm your friend. Stop, stop!"

"F*CK, stop playing. Please help....Aaaaaaa"

"It hurts, it hurts...."

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The remaining armed saw them ripping and swallowing the flesh of their comrades, bloods were dipping and started spurting. Some were confused, some were afraid, some began to go crazy and some vomited.

"They're....they're eating people!"

"This is crazy. Don't..don't commmeee. Nooooo!"

"What is this?"

"Impossible,they...they were dead a while ago."

"Shoot! Shoot them!"

The shooters trembled in fear making the shots missed.

The infected began to change target, they attacked the one who were shooting.

They immediately rushed running towards the remaining armed men. Some already pissed on themselves while the doctor began crawling back then started running.

"I can't die. I can't die..."

Roger who witnessed the horrifying scene took a gulp then a sudden flashback appeared on his mind.

["You may find the treasures you seek on our land but on the day the red sky appears under the full moon, you will regret coming here. As it will be the day you will spread horrors across your lands as the venom spreads through your veins. You will observe the bodies of the dead as they rise from the ground. You will ruin this world! May you survive like those who will receive Gifts as the hidden history repeats itself. Consider this warning a mercy to you all."]

He slowly raised his head seeing the bloody red sky and a full moon above.

"It can't be. It, it wasn't me."

One of the infected began rushing towards Roger who was in state of shock. He was about to be tackled...

"Rattaatatatatata" An automatic rifle started roaring.

Cyclops rushed towards Roger.

"Sir! Sir! Get a hold of yourself! Let's evacuate. We cannot control this situation!"

Roger finally snapped. Cyclops with 5 other men escorted him, the archaeologist and the doctor trembling in fear. They immediately climb towards a military truck while some of their men were giving a support. Automatic rifles and a machine gun in a modified pick up truck started roaring.

Roger was still in shock remembering how it started. When the convoy started moving, Roger saw his men slowly rising from the ground. All of those were dead but started rising.

"Sir, are you alright?" Cyclops asked.

Roger nodded and replied, "Yeah yeah. I'm ok. I'm ok. Let's let's talk about this when we arrived."
