Part 53: New Creatures

I cautiously opened the next door and stepped into a section of the medical laboratory that was unlike anything I had seen before. This area seemed to be reserved for the containment and study of various creatures, each housed in their own glass-enclosed rooms. The thick glass walls offered a semblance of security, but the sight of the strange inhabitants made my skin crawl.

The first enclosure held a monkey that appeared to be in a frenzy. It repeatedly hurled itself against the glass, its eyes wild with madness. The intensity of its rage suggested that it had been subjected to the same virus that had transformed humans into zombies. My heart pounded as I watched it, realizing the full extent of the virus's reach.
