Chereads / Zombie's Devourer System / Chapter 3 - Chapter 3: Arise

Chapter 3 - Chapter 3: Arise

The world had changed after mysterious portals had opened up all around the earth and monsters crawled out of it running over the earth and the humans were powerless to stop them as human conventional weapons couldn't stop them and when the future extinction of the human race seemed certain humans around the worldbetween the game of of 14-16 began to awaken abilities. They were known as inhumane and were able to defeat the monster and save humanity. Ushering humans into a new era of guardians or inhumane.

*****************

"No sign of awakening" The doctor said

" Vital signs are normal but blood pressure has spiked" The doctor at the monitor said

"His body is handling this well than the other test subject" A female doctor said obviously surprised.

"Increase the output to 30%" Doctor Parker said his eyes gleaming with cold light while Lucien continued to scream as the pain increased, it felt like his muscles were being torn apart from inside, as his eyes turned blood red.

" Vital signs are dangerously erratic and blood pressure has dangerously spiked " The doctor at the monitor said

"Increase the output to 60%" Doctor Parker said over Thor's scream

Lucien managed to turn his head to look at them his eyes blood shot as he roared at them like an enraged beast.

"I swear to God if I survive this I will kill you all with my bare hands" He growled

"It seems you still have strength to threaten us increase the output to 80%" Doctor Parker said his eyes filled with enjoyment as he watched him squirm

"You are contributing to the advancement of humanity and even if you die which you will it would be a sacrifice I am willing to make.I already have permission to do this to you" Doctor Parker said with mock kindness

"just kill me already" After a few minutes Lucien said his voice raspy from screaming

Causing Dr Parker to laugh we he watched all this unfold

"His vital signs are sharply dropping" The doctor at the monitor said

"Ok since you are dying already we have to complete the experiment before you die" Dr parker said his face scrunched up in disappointment

"Increase the output to 100%" Doctor Parker said with a crazed smile

"But... "

"I don't care, he is making a contribution to humanities advancement, now increase output to maximum or you are fired" Doctor cut him off.

The pain Thor felt at that moment was devastating as he felt like his bone and muscles were being crushed over and over again making him go into cardiac arrest after about 30 seconds before he stopped breathing.

The medical equipment for monitoring his heart beat registered the long beep sound displaying a flat line on the monitor.

"He died so quickly.. Oh well there was nothing we could do extract all the data you can from his body and have the clean up crew come and clean up this mess" Doctor Parker said as he headed out of the room leaving the other doctors behind.

After the doctors had extracted all the useful data that they could get from his body, the clean up crew sprayed some chemicals on his body and wrapped it in thin stretchy nylon and disposed of his body.

*after an unknown period of time*

Among the heap of rubbish a figure could be seen laying motionless, tightly encased in layers of translucent wrapping nylon. The material clung to the contours of the body, outlining the unmistakable shape of a human form. The head was slightly tilted, and the limbs were bound close to the torso, giving it an eerie, mummified appearance.The nylon's dirty glossy surface reflected the dim light, creating a ghostly sheen that made the figure appear even more lifeless there was no heartbeat or movement from the mummy like existence.

The once still wrapped body began to move as if struggling to get out of the nylon wrappingand soon a pale grey, greenish hand hand emerged managing to puncture the strechy surface of the nylon and crawled out . mummified figure was Lucien but instead of the handsome silver haired teenager, there was a rottening corpse there now, his once beautiful silver hair was nowgone remaining only a few strand of grey hair, his skin was peeling and had become a pale grey greenish hue with patches of dark necrotic tissues and maggots burrowing in and out his skin. He had being wrapped up and dumped there for an unknown period of time.

As he crawled out, he found himself in the middle of a dumpyard and as far as the eye could see there was heaps of trash and metal everywhere and a rotten odor hung in the air that no human would be able to bear.

"Am alive" He roared through his ragged throat as his throat had burst during the last experiment, making forming coherent sentence somewhat difficult.

"Did they dump me here because they thought I was dead" He thought to himself realising they must have disposed of his body here after his death

Suddenly a dark purple screen panel appeared before his eyes
