At the SC12 City Hall, chaos reigned just minutes before the apocalypse began. The mayor had left the place with his security guards after hearing about the bomb in his house, and the few remaining employees were trying to assist the people and other public employees of the city who ca to the city hall seeking help for the problems of the lack of employees they were facing this morning.
During all the chaos, a firefighter walked freely through the halls without being stopped, he looked at his cell phone, which had many ssages from his acquaintances and family. Earlier today, he sent an alert only to his closest friends and family to stay ho. But when it was 1 hour before everything started, he sent ssages to all his contacts warning them about contact with sick people and to avoid being bitten by animals.
Now he has had to silence his cell phone due to the flood of calls and ssages he received in return. Among the many ssages were two in particular that Rick made sure to read while wearing a sinister smile...
Maggie: {You haven’t co to class all week, I missed you... Why did you send ssages about a disease to everyone but ?}
Travis: {Hey Rick, congratulations on becoming a firefighter, our entire class skipped classes today, and only Maggie and I ca... Why didn’t you tell us about the disease?}
"That hateful woman and that traitor... I hope they die on campus..." Rick muttered as he finally reached the mayor’s office.
Not even his secretary was here now, Rick quickly stord into the room and followed the direction his new bracelet guided him, finding the mayor’s Prototype Space Bracelet. When his hand touched the item, the sa silver light enveloped him, until it was fully absorbed by his system.
[BEEP]
[Space Bracelet Prototype absorbed by the system]
[Inventory space has been expanded]
After checking his inventory, which had now doubled in size, there were also many new items that the Mayor himself kept. Rick took a special access card from there and went down to the basent of the City Hall. Inside the basent, he finally saw the final target of his mission.
On top of a tal support full of access and wires, there was a square grid with a ball of energy floating in the center. The ball was the size of a basketball and shone with a silver energy that dazzled the eyes of anyone who looked at it for too long.
[Secondary Mission Completed!]
[Obtained a small space energy core.]
[Obtained the skill: Crystal Extraction]
All the skills I gained from completing these missions were great, digging crystals from mutant corpses was really exhausting and unsanitary, this skill will really save a lot of ti, the store didn’t have many items at the mont, and it had several levels locked, but I saw sothing interesting inside, the ability to upgrade lee weapons, and buy basic protection items against bites.
The firefighter outfit I had at the ti already had fire protection and held off bites well, but it wouldn’t be as effective for long. When I left the basent, I saw the streets darken and the sky start to turn red. I wasted no ti and quickly left the place in my modified truck. When the clock reached noon, it was as if the city had beco quieter.
[The Apocalypse has begun!]
It was just a ssage from the system, but for it weighed heavily. And soon, the silence caused by the end of all technology was replaced by the screams of people and the roars of monsters.
I kept driving while dodging the vehicles stopped in the middle of the streets and the pedestrians who still hadn’t understood what was happening. I would go ho first to pick up Joe, and then I would leave this city to go get my mother and sister.
Several people asked to stop the car, but I couldn’t do it. The words said to before my death still echoed in my mind: (You are too correct and too good...) Trying to save random people on my first day almost got killed, and made Joe, one of the first victims. I took too long to go to my mother and sister, and that caused the death of one of them, too.
But being so cold all of a sudden wasn’t easy, it was a process that needed ti, and I felt bad every ti soone asked to stop my vehicle...
As I was turning a corner, and I was less than 10 minutes away from arriving at my apartnt, I saw two zombies chasing a woman with a little girl in her arms, she was crying out for help in tears... It was instinctive, and I stopped the truck imdiately. I gritted my teeth in anger, it seed that stopping being a good man and becoming colder was sothing I wasn’t ready for yet. After all, I wouldn’t have beco a firefighter if I didn’t want to be a hero, right?
