《An Average Zombie's Path of Evolution》Chapter 13.5

Who Am I? , Where am I?
What is this place?
Why are there so many questions?
Then it all dawned on me. I’m just an ordinary , dull office worker. After graduating from college I immediately got a job in this paper company.
Paying the student loans… might take a whole lifetime.
However I never felt too down about it, I just continued my dull life. Every morning I woke up and followed my usual morning routine before taking the bus to work.
Today felt like a normal day, however at the office there was a slight change, a new worker. She was a tall and beautiful woman with a mature atmosphere, It took me a short moment to take my eyes of her large pair of well proportioned breasts.
Three days later…
I’ve been getting along well with new worker, Her name Laura constantly appears in my mind.
“Ok, Robert, you got this!” I tell myself some words of encouragement”
Two days later…
I somehow managed to ask laura out on a date. Even though i'm nervous, I also feel an inexplicable feeling of confidence.
The date began nice, we went to the mall, had fun shopping for clothing and other items, however time flew by too quick…
We took the elevator in the parking lot building, as I escorted her to her car. Our steps reverberated throughout the parking lot as we walked towards the location her car might be at.
She speedily walked in front of me.
“Robert, You know I had a great time… unfortunately we won’t be able to have a next time” she says as she slowly leaned in my direction.
“Whaa, What do you mean?” I ask in confusion.
Her hand extend towards me rapidly as she stares deep into my eyes.
Only a single word left my mouth.

“what.. “
I felt a light prickle in my neck, I turned my head towards her hand and I see her calm hands gently holding a syringe, the tip pierced into my neck and she slowly injected a clear liquid into my neck.
Everything quickly turned blurry as my conscience faded.
The last thing I hear her say is: “Secured a test subject…”
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mysterious Laboratory Arizona/Nevada Border- Three Months Before Apocalypse
Test Subject #1066
Name: Robert
Age: 25
Blood type: AB
Height - 1740mm
Eye height: 1630mm
Eye height: 1630mm
Shoulder height: 1425mm
Elbow height: 1090mm
Hand height: 755mm
Reach Upwards: 2060mm
Cultivation Vat #1066
(Scientist #1) “Begining Brain scan”
(Scientist #2) “DNA Extraction Complete”
(Scientist #3) “Introducing STEM Rc Cells”
(Scientist #4) “Introducing STEM Viral Cells”
Beginning Gamma Therapy
By killing the Normal cells, the two new types of STEM cells will restructure the body.
Two weeks later…
(Scientist #1) “this… is unprecedented… The two types of cells completely recreated every tissue in the bodies, including the brain…”
(Scientist #2)” The Rc Cells were apparently obtained from an unknown humanoid organism found frozen somewhere in europe…”
(Scientist #3) “Didn’t the Subject Zero have a strange predatory organ attached to its back…”
(Scientist #2) “It was confiscated by the Military…”
(Scientist #3) “I heard a weapon was developed using it”
(Scientist #4) “Why would they need such a weapon?”
(Scientist #1) “you've seen the constitution these things… normal weapons can't hurt them”
(Scientist #3) “Why are we making these things then?”
(Scientist #4) “This is another super soldier project…”
(Scientist #3) “Why Use Civilians though?”
(Scientist #4) “We tried it on soldiers before…The stem cells weren't able to restructure the brain since the Viral cells hijacked the entire brain. We needed people with certain characteristics that gave them immunity to the viral Stem cells.only three hundred samples were found in the military. We had to acquire the rest from somewhere else, in other words civilians from around the states. The Military found people who fit the requirements from blood samples taken from hospitals.From then on we picked people who wouldn't be missed by society.. In other words useless people.”

(Scientist #1) “Do you know why we didn't just clone subject zero?”
(Scientist #3) “Why?”
(Scientist #1) “The original species has a very undeveloped brain, It’s intelligence was only at the level of a wolf, it would be difficult controlling its instincts.”
(Scientist#2) “So this project is meant to make a being similar to subject zero but with the intelligence of a human”
(Scientist#4) “But this is a little unexpected...The Stem cells made an exact clone of the previous brain structure...they may awake with their memories intact. The original plan was for their brains to be in infant stage”
*Triiing* *Triiing* Triiing* (Alarm)
(Scientist#4) “Trouble! The brain activity of subject #1066 Shot up!”
(Scientist#3) “Add the sedatives!”
(Scientist#4) “They're not working!!”
*Shatter*
“Gyaaaaa!!!!”
(Scientist#4) “It escaped!”
(Scientist#3)”Its predatory organ is fully developed, let's get out of here!”
(Scientist#2)”we should be fine in the chemical storage, It’s brain isn't fully developed yet so it’s only acting based on it’s instinct”
As the scientist fled inside the chemical storage room a sense of security flowed through their mind as the steel door closed, however two red scorpion shaped tendrils pierced through the door…
“Gaaaaaaaaa!”
Screams ranged throughout the lab all night. no help ever came.

The Genre of My Life Was Randomized?
The wheel spun and the genre changed. In every chapter, a new canvas made up of a thousand words was formed. I, the creator, do not know the future of this novel. I, the author, is but a mere slave that writes and creates what the wheel has given. What would happen after? What fate awaits the main character? When would you encounter the next chapter? Besides the latter, only the wheel could answer. Author's Note:Salutations dear reader. I'd like to dissuade you from reading this novel due to the following facts: 1. I am an amateur/new/beginner writer so it could be said that I don't know what I'm doing. 2. This novel is something which I wrote in order to hone my skills in adaptability, creativity, and writing in of itself. 3. Every chapter was made after spinning a wheel with the genres: Action, Horror, Romance, Comedy, Fantasy (as of writing) twice. The genres then would be showed in the chapter through theme, part of the story, flow, character, or whatever man idk. In case the wheel would show the same genre twice, the chapter itself would have the result as the main theme of the story with the other genres being free to use in order to fully show the theme. 4. I'm basically yoloing the story, trying to make sense of it even with the randomness of the current and future chapters; I swear I'm not a masochi.. *ahem* moving on, a variable left by the previous chapter won't suddenly just disappear because the next chapter doesn't have the same genre as before, meaning if a character that fits a genre was shown on let's say "Chapter 1", said character wouldn't just disappear or cease to exist for no reason at "Chapter 2" or the following chapters just because the character doesn't fit the genres. To make it short this isn't a collection of short stories but one big story instead. 5. Etc.

El's Revenge
“Revenge is not for the dead- we, as the living, take revenge to relieve the burden we feel,” I whispered into the air. “Salvation for the people who suffered because of you,” I watched as the city burned in the flames. “Salvation for the people like me, who believed in the proclaimed heroes when in reality they were the devils.” I smiled faintly as the ‘holy land’ of those ‘saints’ was destroyed. I heard rustling sounds as Charlotte came to stand next to me, grabbing my hand. “El, are we the bad guys?” If I was still the same as I was before, I might’ve broken down and started crying. Now, it was different. “A villain is just another victim. They cry and mourn, it’s just that no one heard, leading them into madness. It’s one of the reasons why we know the most, but care the least.” I took a deep breath. “We may be the bad guys in other peoples’ eyes, but in my story, we’re the heroes.” Charlotte took in my words for a while and pondered, before nodding in agreement. “As children, we loved the heroes, as adults we understand the villains.” I looked at her and bonked her on the head, earning an angry glare from her. “Hey! You’re barely an adult yourself you know,” she grumbled. I laughed and ruffled her hair, before countering her. “At least I’m not 12. You can’t even be considered a teenager at that age.” After that, we silently watched the flames ravage the land, before leaving.
