3 End of Civilization (2)

Observing the reanimated woman chasing another person left Nexus utterly speechless.

"Did she just turned into a zombie?" He exclaimed

This revelation completely shattered his hopes of returning to Terra.

Now that zombies exist and is actively eating everyone.

"How could this be, and since when!?" Nexus pondered, his mind racing to comprehend what's happening.

No matter how much he thinks about it, it was just impossible to figure out.

As far as he can remember there had been no disease capable of transforming people into zombies.

And as for things like biochemistry experiments regarding such matter there was none.

After all ever since the food Crisis the scientific community all over the world stop researching other subjects that aren't related to the food food Crisis leaving other areas dormant.

And the only thing that has involved biochemistry was Nutrivore.

"Wait!, Nutrivore!!" he blurted out.

"it's was so obvious, Why didn't i think of it before"

Things became clearer. Nutrivore, with its hidden side effects, appeared to be the root cause of the zombie outbreak.

Dough it unclear how Nutrivore was able to do it, he was certain that it was the reason for the outbreak

Nexus couldn't help but to slap himself for not connecting the dots earlier.

Of course it didn't hit him at all and only passed through him.

With this newfound understanding, Nexus continued to observe the world below.

Looking at the spot where he last saw the woman, all that remained were broken cars and burning buildings, with no trace of bodies, only bloodstains that trailed across the wreckage.

Shifting his attention to another part of the city, towards the east, Nexus spotted large crowds of zombies chasing people on motorcycles. The survivors were fleeing the city, heading east.

They seem to have been moving out of the city.

As one of motorcycles who was about to escape the crowd of zombies behind it.

it collided with an open car door, throwing its riders off the motorcycle and onto the ground.

"Argh! Help!" one of them cried out in panic before being eaten by the crowds of zombies who chasing him before.

Meanwhile his partner who was with him before managed to escape by riding the motorcycle again and speeding out, thanks to him distracting the zombies.

After a few minutes he was able to catch up to the group and they continued to move East to escape the city full of zombies.

Nexus on the other hand who saw this was disgusted by the actions of the man.

In his mind he could've been saved considering that a lot of the zombies was tripping due to the lack of space in the crowd.

Yet his partner chooses to abandoned him.

He can only imagine the pain he must have felt after that betrayal.

Truly when it comes times times of crisis the true nature of humans resurface.

He sighed, looking at the group of motorcycles leaving the city.

"I Still I hope they survive" he muttered. Even if some were bad people, he couldn't bear to see humanity face extinction.

If only he could do anything right now, but alas he couldn't.

Moving on to another city and looking for more survivors, Nexus saw different things.

In one of the cities he saw people commiting mass suicide, which dishearten him greatly

And in another he saw people who seems to be from prison ruling over a portion of the city and committing unspeakable crimes.

On another city he saw people in robes sacrificing people to the zombies.

"These people are out of their mind!" Nexus exclaimed in frustration.

Thinking of all that is happening right now, not just in the cities but all over the world he can't help but question why the government hasn't made any actions regarding the new crisis that is currently happening.

He has search every government buildings and scientific laboratories in the world hoping to find the remaining people in charge of the government yet all he found was hordes of zombies.

Although the zombies are frighteningly dangerous, there's nothing a few bombs can do.

Especially to soft and meaty creatures.

Even of there's a zombie outbreak the government can still stop it, especially in an age where information is transferred in mere seconds.

But now after days of searching he still couldn't find anything regarding the government

Initially he thought the government was hiding underground but this was quickly proven wrong as he search every bunker in the world looking for actions all he could find was zombies roaming around.

After careful consideration he concluded that the government has all turned into zombies.

As for the reason why be thinks so, well as the administrator of MAGMOD he knew very well that the government officials would always get unreleased top quality Nutrivore products so it's very likely that they have all became zombies.

Nexus sighed once again, all of this was all too depressing for him, the world he lived has now turned into a zombie infested hell.

After months of observing he has also realized that even with the survivors escaping the zombie infested cities and living in the mountains.

They still couldn't escape becoming a zombies as time passes by.

It seems that the only reason why they didn't turned into a zombie was because they have eaten less Nutrivore products, in other words they where poor and got lucky.

It became evident that humanity was spiraling toward extinction, and Nexus felt helpless.

"How cruel, is this fate or a work of higher being!?" He questioned.

This was devastating, words cannot describe the despair he is feeling.

"What should I do now? Am I alone? No, this can't be. I'm sure others have become souls like me," he muttered.

As he scanned his surroundings, that hope faded.

There was... no one, no sign of other souls as far as the eye can see.

It's space a hostile place, why would souls be there in the first place

"Sigh" even with this happening, nexus wasn't just gonna lose his mind and laugh maniacally in the emptiness of space.

No!, He was gonna find a way to bring back humanity

But how? He had no answers, yet he vowed to try.

"I will Try to bring back humanity!" he declared, determination ringing in his voice.

And so, Nexus embarked on his mission, a quest to potentially resurrect an extinct humanity.

---

It's been 1000 years since the zombie outbreak.

And Nexus has failed....

Being unable to move he couldn't do anything even after meditating for years he still couldn't do a thing.

The end has arrived as he saw the last zombie on earth turn to dust.

There was no creatures left on the planet, what was left was waste land.

Years after the outbreak many of the facilities who wasn't maintained exploded causing much devastation to the land

Almost every bomb exploded on the planet, from nuclear to chemical causing the earth to move violently and eventually the planet was covered in ice to due to atmosphere drastically changing

What was left of humanity was buried in heaps of snow never to be discovered again.

"Life is truly precious, nature is truly awe inspiring and time... It waits for no one"

Standing atop the planet Nexus observe the once familiar land turned into and unfamiliar one.

The end of civilization and everything has brought upon him despair, still through it all he gained something.

Closing his ethereal eyes he proceeds to slumber.

Until the end of the planet he once called home.....
