the silence before the data
On a normal school day, a terrifying zombie outbreak suddenly erupts inside a high school. While everyone panics and runs, genius student Jony stays calm, analyzing the infected like a scientist. His friend Arjun drags him to safety, and together with Meera, Vikram, Rohan, and Sana, they escape to the rooftop and barricade themselves behind a heavy steel door.
From the rooftop, Jony discovers that the infected are attracted to sound and appear to communicate with one another. Soon, a mysterious blue beacon begins glowing in the distance, and every infected in the city starts marching toward it in perfect synchronization. Even stranger, some uninfected humans also begin walking toward the beacon as if controlled by an invisible force.
A broken emergency radio warns the group that the outbreak is not caused by a normal virus but by an unknown signal affecting the human brain. As the storm intensifies, the students hear disturbing messages, and Jony begins suspecting that the infected are only part of a much larger mystery.
By Chapter 5, the group experiences the beacon's influence firsthand. They all briefly feel an irresistible urge to walk toward it. Then they discover the chilling words "WE SEE YOU" mysteriously written on the rooftop, proving that whatever controls the signal is aware of their presence—and it has begun watching Jony.
