《The modern day plague doctor》Chapter 3
Advertisement
I am a little worried right now. I have been through three floors and there are no signs of anyone or thing. I even peeked into other patients rooms and besides sometimes seeing lots of blood or a pile of mush there wasn't much else. I won't pretend like I don't know what those piles are and I admit that when I first saw one I wanted to barf. Luckily the mask keeps the smell out and I could force myself to move on. But that's as far as it goes.
There wasn't a whole arm around so I couldn't help but wonder what happend. I started remembering a certain zombie show. I finally reached the fifth floor which has a storage space for medicine which would help me out. When I went to check it out the door was locked. So I had to force it open by getting a hospital bed and ramming it through the door. The door may be made of metal but the doorframe is made from wood. The reason it was wood and not metal was because of a recent incident.
A few months ago some drug head rushed through the hospital until he reached here and blew the door down with a homemade bomb. Luckily he was pinned to the ground by a group of people until the police arrived so he didn't take anything. But the walls were also damaged so they had to rebuild the wall and the wooden doorframe was put up for only a little while until they were done with the wall. So when I forced the door open it was real easy.
The inside was practically untouched which was good news so I then made a little barricade in front of the doorway with random junk I found lying around so that I didn't have to worry about the medicine disappearing. I continued going down floor by floor until I finally reached the first floor and saw a group of people. I was happy to finally see someone who might be able to tell me what's going on so I approached them. But while I was approaching them I noticed something weird about them.

They were just standing still like in a daze or something and a few feet closer I realized they looked weird. It looked like most of them were missing parts from their body. Then I saw their skin which had a weird color. It was greenish gray with patches of red here and there. When I was mere feet away from them only one word came to mind. Zombies, I know I made a joke about them earlier but did they seriously have to show up?
Then a few turned towards my direction and looked at me. I was ready to run like hell was on my heels. I saw plenty of zombie movies to know about slow, fast, and mutated zombies and there is no way I can go against any kind of zombie when their in a large group like this. But the weirdest thing happened. They just left me be like I wasn't there. I was confused beyond words as this action goes against everything I ,and probably every other person, know about zombies.
I approached them slowly while keeping myself turned away a little in case I need to bolt. But they did nothing even if I touched one. I am so confused. I did something both brave and dumb. I walked right to the center of them. But still nothing happened. What is with these zombies? Is something wrong with them? I took a closer look at them but they looked like your average zombie with guts hanging out and chunks of flesh missing. Though I did realize one thing about them. Pretty much all of them were patients. They were all dressed in patient garbs though I will admit a few zombies were dressed as doctors.
I thought about what this means and I came up with this scenario. When sh*t hit the fan and something attacked the hospital. The doctors made a bolt for it and the ones here were either trying to help the patients escape or were unlucky enough to be behind everyone else while they were escaping and got caught. Either way there were people who abandoned these poor guys and now they are like this. GOD I AM PIIIIIIISSSED. I mean, I have been here long enough to have met most of the staff working here. They all seemed like such nice people with their smiles. Except the janitor, he gave me the creeps.

Alright calm down, calm down ... okay that helped. Now let's start from the beginning. How did they turn into zombies? There is nothing else in this hospital as I started on the top floor and kept going down. Plus there are claw marks all over the walls and I doubt a zombie can make those. Maybe something else attacked that could turn them into zombies? Or something attacked and killed everyone then a zombie came along and turned them into zombies? Both are possible so let's say it's one or the other.
Next is why they won't attack me. Is it the outfit? I went a little ways away from the group and removed the gloves. Nothing, next was the boots. Still nothing. I proceeded to remove one article of clothing while keeping ready to run but they did nothing even if I was in my underwear. It might be something else that is keeping them from attacking me. I thought about what it could be while putting everything back on. Then it hit me. While I was experimenting upstairs I conjured a zombie virus.
But there is a problem. I put that into the canister and I took that off. So why? Unless ... when I conjure something even if I put it in the canister it still remains in my body. Upon realizing this I fell on all four and sulked with my head down. I am now a walking plague that could kill you with a sneeze in your general area. I may be wrong but it makes the most sense. I just wanted to make myself healthy but instead I made myself so much worse. I stayed on my arms and legs and just sulked for a few minutes.

8 199Gods Game
The Gods gathered together in a moment of clarity and created a world where people could battle, gain powers, and eventually enough power to kill them and take their place. After a millennium, they still have little success. Some of the combatants have died, others have given up and accepted their lives as they are, others turned their back on their original calling entirely, rebelled and have decided to wage war against this world and the reason they are there. So the gods keep scooping people up from the various worlds they've created in hopes of finding their death. They had gathered from six of the seven worlds they had available to them, now they have no choice but to gather combatants from the one world they swore they would leave alone: Earth. The world was dying and the people seemed hell bent on killing each other, rather than focusing on keeping their world alive so they could all live peacefully. Earth wasn't an ideal place to choose from, but the Gods had no choice. With new combatants gathered, each blessed with a gift from the Gods, they are set loose in the world of Taimin. The play ground for the replacement God candidates. However, this time, the combatants are unaware of their true purpose, so that maybe, they can accomplish the God's true goals. Another round of God creation has begun, but with secrets kept from them, and others hunting for their deaths, can they survive the first rounds, or will they perish because of the weaknesses they carry? NOTE: I do not own that cover, I googled fantasy wallpaper planets and I found that one. ^_^ Also, this story will slightly be fanfictiony as some weapons and elements may come videos, shows, and/or books.
