Zombies

Alvian was startled by the voice that rang out in his head. "Is this some type of virtual reality game?"

He had heard about this kind of technology back in 2020 when he was on a mission to retrieve a target with his team. One of his team members had spoken about it on the way and Alvian's honest opinion was that it was simply too farfetched to be true, therefore he didn't believe what he heard back then.

Moreover, he heard they needed a full on specialised cabin to be fully immersed in the virtual world or at least a Specialized Brain Waves Inducing Headgear but currently, he wasn't wearing anything of the sort. Gazing around him, he was still in the real world

He then remembered that he had clicked on yes on the message that had popped up on his phone.

As the man was about to jump on him, Alvian's leg blurred into a shadow and he immediately sent the man flying backwards.

"Bam!"

Because of that, the bald zombie was pushed backwards and fell face first to the floor.

His attention was then faced with the two people on the floor, the zombie. instantly pounced at the woman who was lying close to him on the ground and immediately took a huge bite at her neck with the vigour of a beast.

"Ahhh!!!"

The woman seem to have being startled awake by the pain and immediately let out a loud cry of pain. She opened her eyes in confusion and pain but the man continued to claw and bite at her neck and body, like there was no tomorrow. Tears began to spill from the woman's eyes as she struggled desperately to get the man off of her but to no avail.

The man had bitten off the major arteries of her neck and she bleed furiously. After a while of biting through her throat, the man seem to have lost interest in her neck. With his bloody face, he turned his attention towards her stomach, using his sharp finger nails, he tore through her and started to feast on her white long intestine.

Alvian frowned deeply and he thought with hesitation in his eyes. 'Is that a... zombie?' even he didn't want to believe such things exists , still he couldn't change what was in front of him. It was then he was somewhat convinced he was in a game. But this game was just too real and seem to use real life background as it base points.

"Interesting." Alvian licked his lips and his excitement was beginning to stir slightly after so long.

Suddenly, he heard a sharp scream and the sound of someone puking his guts out.

Turning his attention sideways, It was the other young man who was in the elevator with them, the one who looked like a rich CEO. At some point, he had also woken up and was terrorised by what he saw.

The woman continued to struggle but it became weaker and weaker and she struggled to scream for help but blood and foam gurgled from her lungs, blocking her voice from leaking out. She soon gave up the ghost after a few moments of struggle.

The bald zombie in the brown suit seem to have lost interest in the dead body entirely. It turned towards the rest of them and then leapt up with agility it didn't possess a while back when it was walking like a baby. It seems as though the meal it had feasted on had strengthened it to some degree.

The zombie leapt up and jumped at the man who was still screaming and puking at the same time.

Pinning him to the ground with its claws, the zombie. was about to bite through the young man's neck when it was suddenly pushed backward by the man using his legs.

The zombie instantly slammed against the see through glass, breaking through it and fell down the skyscraper.

Alvian frowned deeply. Wasn't the glass supposed to be bulletproof and even harder than metal? What a scam. It was a game anyways so he let it be.

The young man who had just pushed the zombie off the building instantly began to panic as he struggled to breathe for air. He knelt on the floor and began to puke on the floor when the disgusting and nauseating smell of the corpse blew to him.

Alvian continued to investigate. He stared intently at the dead body in front of him and the man who was still puking with interest. He didn't know if the people in the real world were also the same people in this virtual world. This game was simply too real. The smell of blood, corpse and the air, it was simply too amazing.

Alvian closed his eyes and he breathed deeply the scent of iron in the air. Then he paused with a frown due to the disgusting smell from the corpse and the young man's pile.

Alvian had long since noticed the multiple scratch marks on the young man's face and arms, it was already turning purple.

His gaze soon turned to the corpse of the lady who was still on the floor. He noticed its finger moved a little.

Suddenly, the young man seem to have recovered and he turned towards Alvian.

"W-what was that!?" he yelled, pointing at the spot where the zombie had fallen off the building, his hands trembling with fear. Tears and snort all over his face mixed with a bit of purple blood and scratch marks. His reaction seem to be genuine and not some rigid programmed expressions.

"You dumped the zombie off the building, what else?" Alvian replied casually as waved off the man to continue staring at the young lady's corpse. Its movement had increased as the corpse's eyes opened widely with only blackness in its eyes.

The young man shuddered and he replied. "Z-zombie. Th-that was a zombie? We are dead. We are all dead." The young man mumbled to self and flopped to the ground as though he had just lost his soul.

He instantly started to cry out in despair as he mumbled soullessly.

The purplish scratch on his face was getting increasingly darker and his face was beginning to turn paler by the second.

Somehow, the young man was quickly able to notice that something was wrong but it was too late.

"Help me! I don't want to die! Please help me!" The young man cried loudly. His body had gone extremely weak and he seemed to be getting totally paralysed.

Alvian watched on with a strange gaze which also held a tinge of excitement within.

"I-I have money, lots of money. I am also a major share holder of this company. If you help me, I transfer everything to you. The money shares and even my properties. Please help me, I-i don't want to die!"

When the young man saw that Alvian only remained still and refused to help him. Instead of wallowing in despair, he could somehow still think at this moment and offered Alvian something few people would resist.

As Alvian heard this, he raised his eyebrows up in surprise. He couldn't help but think more deeply.

This might not be a true virtual world but a true world which looked very much like the one he came from. Just like an alternate universe. It really was incredible. Alvian couldn't help but praise.
