Chapter 34: After One Year

One year ago, due to one person's mistake, a virus leaked into the underground Umbrella Hive laboratory, causing the death of all workers there. But the problem was that the dead did not stay dead; they came back to life. The T-virus turned the dead bodies into mindless monsters that only knew to eat human flesh.

Umbrella sent a security team to the Hive, where the virus had leaked, to resolve the issue. They encountered the reanimated dead and faced death. Some lucky members could barely escape from there alive.

But before they could celebrate their escape, the virus spread to the city above the lab. Soon, the city turned into hell, where mindless monsters roamed. The organization responsible for this catastrophe bombed the city, destroying it, and thought the incident was over.

But they would never have thought that this was only the beginning.

Soon, the virus started spreading throughout America, and within a month, the entire country became infected with the T-virus. It continued to spread across the Earth, infecting all rivers and oceans and filling the world with the undead.

Humanity was on the brink of destruction. Those who survived the incident had to move from one place to another constantly to survive. Staying in one place for too long would attract attacks from the undead. For those who were still alive, staying on the road was the best way to survive. Meanwhile, the people responsible for this catastrophe hid in their underground laboratory. Conducting dozens of T-virus experiments.

This is the story of those of us who were trying to survive in a world filled with the undead and danger, holding onto the hope of a new life.

1 year later...

Nevada

Six vehicles were traveling: one ambulance, one school bus, one petrol tank, and three cars with survivors.

"Carlos, is that real?" asked a girl with blonde hair and brown eyes, her face small and beautiful, speaking through a voice transmitter as she listened to the man.

"Yes, K-Mart, it is real," said Carlos, who was once a teammate of Alex.

"Stop, Carlos! With your stories, how can a person like that exist?" said the girl sitting next to K-Mart, driving the car. Her hair was slightly brown, and she had a beautiful face.

"What I said is true, Claire. You can ask LJ about it."

"Yes, Claire, what Carlos said is true. That man is not something ordinary people will believe," said LJ, who was listening to the conversation through the receiver.

"We have no reason to lie to you at the end of the world."

"I don't believe it," said Claire.

"If only Alex were here, he could solve anything within a second," said LJ.

"We lost contact with them six months ago. Don't get your hopes up," said Carlos.

The group had separated from Alex and Alice during continuous attacks from Umbrella, and then they joined Claire's group.

"Where are you, Alex?" said Carlos while driving the car.

Somewhere in the distance from Nevada...

A man with black hair and red eyes was walking with a girl with slightly blonde hair and blue eyes, searching for something.

"Alex, did you find what you were searching for?" said the blonde girl. These two were Alice and Alex.

"No, it's not here."

"What are you searching for?"

"A piece of me that was lost in this world."

"Okay?" Alice didn't understand what Alex meant.

Alex had been traveling with Alice for about six months, searching for system fragments. They had explored the entire North American and South American continents but found nothing.

During this time, Alice had also fallen in love with Alex, and now they were lovers. They returned to America as the third movie plot was about to begin dealing with Isaac, who had been continuously attacking them. Alex planned to expand his search after dealing with him.

"So, Alice, are you ready to meet Carlos and LJ?"

"Where are they?"

"They are in Nevada."

"Our next destination."

They both got into the car, and Alice started driving.

And then a radio transmission came:

"This is Claire Redfield's group. We are at a hotel in the desert. If there are any survivors, please come here."

"We seem to be near them. We can find them before nightfall," he said.

"You mean Carlos and LJ are with them?" she asked.

"Yes, now drive fast. We can meet our friends."

"We don't know what happened to Jill and the others."

"Don't worry, they will be fine."

At Claire's group:

"All parameters set, and the readings are coming in. The grid's formed," said a man with curly hair and a round face.

"Carlos, you can come back," Claire said through her transmitter.

"Okay."

"It's dinnertime, guys."

Canned food was distributed to everyone, and soon an alarm came from the van.

"What is that?" Claire asked.

"A car is coming towards us," said the guy, observing the screen.

Soon, the car arrived at the group, and the door opened. A man with black hair and red eyes stepped out. Seeing him, both Carlos and LJ ran forward and hugged him.

"Long time no see, my friends. Did you miss me?" said Alex, who was hugging both Carlos and LJ.
