Chapter 13

May 15 2014, 7:13 a.m. Thursday

The sun rose again without fail, and the warm ray of light that gave life to the earth once again gave mankind hope as people woke up to greet this day with a sense of yearning that the world and humanity return to normal.

Towering man-made walls made from different elements stood and surrounded these communities and areas where a significant amount of people resided and sought shelter from the horde of ghouls and unknown creatures that sprung out of the decay roaming around the open land, waiting patiently to hunt and feed as they crave human flesh, their hunger never-ending.

The survivors united in their struggle, have adapted to this new reality, forming tight-knit communities that rely on each other for protection and sustenance. Yet, amidst the chaos and despair, a glimmer of hope remains as they strive to find a way to reclaim their world from the clutches of darkness.

people still tried their best to live a normal life, building secure and safe houses as more people passed the screening test of the government, even after countless death and destruction, the political government all around the world remained as they desperately protected these important symbols of civilization,

as humanity lost 1 billion from the infectious madness and death in a span of two years, the world was left grappling with the devastating consequences. The loss of such a significant number of lives not only created a void in families and communities, but also had far-reaching impacts on economies, healthcare systems, and social structures worldwide.

The remaining survivors have learned to adapt and defend themselves against these relentless predators. Armed with makeshift weapons and a newfound resilience, they form tight-knit communities, sharing resources and knowledge to ensure their survival. Despite the constant threat, there is a glimmer of hope that one day, humanity will prevail and reclaim the world that was once theirs. In their quest for survival, the survivors have also discovered hidden pockets of resistance.

where individuals with unique abilities and knowledge join forces to fight against the encroaching darkness. These pockets of resistance serve as beacons of hope, inspiring others to keep pushing forward and reminding them that they are not alone in their struggle. With each small victory against the darkness, their determination grows stronger, fueling their belief that a brighter future is within reach.

They were called Exorcists or Magus,

They are beings that possess extraordinary powers and skills that enable them to combat the darkness with great effectiveness. Trained in ancient rituals and armed with powerful artefacts, they are the last line of defense against the encroaching forces of evil. Their unwavering dedication and selflessness make them a formidable force, instilling fear in the hearts of their enemies.

As days and months went on, a few people all over the world slowly gained abilities that could effectively fight these creatures of malice and suffering. Large cities, settlements, or any highly populated area that was surrounded by water were safe, and a holy land that received blessings was also safe to reside in, so most cities near a church, Mosque, Temple, or any place of worship were safe from infection, or as they now called the Vile.

Some people remained alive but were so demented and evil that they became murderers, cannibals, and psychopaths. That is why the survivors had to be cautious not only of the infected creatures but also of their fellow human beings.

Trust became a scarce commodity as paranoia and suspicion spread among the remaining population. It was a constant battle for survival, where one wrong move could lead to a gruesome demise at the hands of either the Vile or their own kind.

meanwhile in the Texarkana Metropolitan Area, because the vast majority of people living in this city were working at Texas Red River Army Depot, the mayor and city officials were able to save half of their residing people, sadly the other half became Ghouls and Vile, posing a significant threat to the remaining population. With limited resources and manpower, the mayor implemented strict measures to contain the Ghouls and vile.

establishing quarantine zones and organizing regular patrols to ensure the safety of the unaffected residents. Despite their efforts, the city faced ongoing challenges in combating the growing menace, due to a mysterious outbreak that transformed them into monstrous creatures. The city quickly mobilized its remaining populace to sadly save those who were still normal and, with a heartbreaking resolve to kill their own family members and friends,

Like the rest of the world, these were happening, which is why many lost the will to live and succumbed to despair. The once vibrant city now lay in ruins, its streets filled with the haunting cries of those who had been transformed. The survivors, burdened with grief and guilt,

meanwhile, on their daily hunting and community expedition trip to help the main town survivors, Grey was with his sister and friends, fully armed, and had proven their worth to the underground community with 900 healthy and safe people. They were traveling for their daily task toward the city of Texarkana, with a truck of clean water and produce that their community had grown.

This was their ruined state as the main residential populace moved into a walled area that was within the city hall, where a church stood beside it. The mutated Vile was unlike anything Grey had ever encountered; he was facing something that he never expected to encounter.

The unit he was commanding was a squad of his fellow adult teens that respected his ability to give tactical and safe orders, but facing this mutated Vile at the heart of the city, where most businesses were established stood in its ruined state as the main residential populace moved into a walled area that was within the city hall, where were church stood beside it.

The mutated Vile was unlike anything Grey had ever seen before. Its monstrous appearance and incredible strength posed a threat that even his tactical expertise couldn't fully comprehend. Grey noticed its massive size and grotesque features, with sharp claws and glowing red eyes. Its intimidating presence sent shivers down his spine, and he realized that defeating this creature would require a level of strategy and courage he had never faced before.

Vile were ordinary-looking beings that succumbed to their evil and murderous tendencies, but the being in front of them could no longer be called human, as it had transformed into a grotesque creature with twisted limbs and a distorted face. Its eyes glowed with an eerie red light, sending shivers down Grey's spine. He knew that defeating this mutated Vile would require all of his skills and resources, and this particular monster was directly aiming at him as they scattered, safely hid and opened fire at the huge Vile,

The mutated Vile was too distorted, but a peculiar feeling was reminding him of somebody that he might have met and encountered before, or was it all in his mind knowing it was a mindless killing and eating monster? Grey's mind raced as he tried to piece together the familiarity of the mutated Vile.

Perhaps it was just a trick of his imagination, but deep down, he couldn't shake the nagging suspicion that there was more to this creature than met the eye. As he dodged its relentless attacks, Grey vowed to uncover the truth behind its origins and put an end to its reign of terror once and for all.

The truck they were using was already flipping to its side as they took turns killing the mutated Vile. All 14 members were wounded by the sudden attack of the vehicle they were driving, but their training and fear of dying and never seeing their loved ones again made them agile. With the earpiece communication device they were using, Grey was able to command his squad to take cover and be on the defence.

Grey knew that they had to devise a plan quickly if they were going to survive this encounter. He ordered his team to secure the perimeter and make sure there were no stragglers in the area. He orders the snipers to cover the area and have one heavy gunner with them, ready to provide suppressive fire if needed.

Grey also instructed the medics to stay close and be prepared to treat any wounded team members. With their training and clear communication, Grey's squad formed a cohesive unit, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.

Grey has the highest stamina and agility, while Maeve, Emma, Amid, and Lucia were snipers, and Harvey, Andrew, Saad, and Feng were heavy gunners. Together, they possessed a diverse set of skills that complemented each other and made them a formidable force on the battlefield. Each member of Grey's squad had undergone rigorous training and had proven themselves in previous missions, earning their place in the elite team. With their combined expertise and unwavering dedication, they were confident in their ability to overcome any obstacles that came their way.

Levi and Esther were agile and gifted in creating and placing Incendiary devices, while Tien, Malik, and Andrew were proficient in Trigger control as they developed a technique for moving the trigger so that the gun does not waiver from the line of fire while running and moving around.

Additionally, Levi and Esther had a knack for strategic planning, always finding the most efficient routes and positions to maximize the impact of their devices. Tien, Malik, and Andrew's exceptional coordination allowed them to seamlessly execute their moves, maintaining precision and accuracy even in high-pressure situations. Even at their age, they had many combat experiences. Since their city was infected and half of the populace became their enemy,

They had learned to adapt quickly and think on their feet. This experience gave them a unique advantage on the battlefield, as they were able to anticipate their opponent's moves and strategize accordingly. Their unwavering determination and resilience propelled them forward, making them a formidable force against the infected population.

Grey, on the other hand, was the one who guided them as he moved continuously, firing at the mutated vile as he made it follow a specific path. Levi and Esther have already placed explosives on the target site while killing a few Ghoul stragglers along the way, ensuring that their mission will be successful.

The team relied on Grey's fighting skills and strategic thinking to neutralize any threats that crossed their path. With their combined efforts, they were a well-oiled machine, ready to take on any challenge that came their way, and this new enemy was not something they expected, but knowing Grey he was more determined than all of them because he want these vile things to be killed by his own hand,
