Worst Zombie Day
That night, Aegis Squad infiltrated an abandoned laboratory complex to capture a mutated zombie alive for research. The air reeked of rusted metal and decay.
"Make sure the trap is ready," whispered Major Pan Colman.
Lila nodded, checking her device. "Ready, just waiting for the bait."
Hart, tracking zombie movement, looked uneasy. "They’re smarter than we thought. We must move fast."
From the shadows, a massive mutated zombie with armor-like skin emerged.
"Wait for it to step into the trap," Pan whispered.
As the creature moved forward, Lila activated the device. Steel clamps trapped it, sending high-voltage shocks that made it thrash violently.
Before they could celebrate, Hart panicked. "Major, something big is moving behind us!"
From the ruins, a giant zombie with protruding bones emerged, smashing through a wall with unnatural speed.
"We need to move, now!" Pan ordered.
The squad hauled the trapped zombie into their containment truck, escaping as the complex collapsed behind them.
Inside the vehicle, Dr. Alaric muttered, "This isn't normal mutation. The virus is evolving too fast."
Hart nodded. "It’s as if someone designed them. But who? And why?"
Suddenly, a loud metallic thud echoed from the roof.
"What was that?" Lila asked, weapon raised.
Hart checked his tablet. "Something's on top of us! But it wasn’t detected before!"
Pan signaled. "Rico, stop the vehicle. Lila and I will check."
They stepped out and looked up. A tall, gaunt creature with razor-sharp claws clung to the roof, staring at them with soulless black eyes.
"What the hell is that?" Lila whispered.
The creature lunged with blinding speed. Pan and Lila dodged, but their bullets had no effect.
"Get back inside! Now!" Pan commanded.
They sprinted back, Rico hitting the gas.
Hart read his tablet. "This thing… it's like a predator. Faster, stronger."
Dr. Alaric whispered, "If this was made by Dominion, we’re dealing with a far deadlier bioweapon than I imagined."
The creature pursued them, closing the distance. Lila and Pan fired, but it dodged effortlessly. In one leap, it grabbed the steel trap containing the mutated zombie.
"It’s trying to take the zombie!" Lila yelled.
Pan hurled a smoke grenade, forcing the creature to retreat. The vehicle sped away.
Inside, tension remained thick.
"We can't keep running," Pan stated. "We need to fight back. And we need to find out what Dominion of Varex has really done."
