Chapter 28: The Prophets Vision. (1/2)

At the edge of a skyscraper, a young man could be seen seated, scrolling through his phone. His long tied back black hair covered the amused expression on his face.

After what felt like a few hours of scrolling, he got up to stretch himself, his eyes now on the large hole in the middle of the city, the labyrinth.

With a clear objective in mind, he took a step off, resulting in him plummeting towards the ground as he did so. The wind brushed against his hair, showing his violet eyes.

During that moment, a grin formed on his face as he muttered but a single word.

”Boom.”

*VOOOM!*

The windows on the skyscrapers all shattered, the sound barrier was broken and he vanished, leaving behind no trace.

- December 11th, Current time.

”Attention, to the people of America. Attention.”

The loud sounds of a broadcast, resounded across the city as all the digital screen displayed no one other than their president.

”This is a late announcement, I am sure I've kept you all waiting for far too long. The government, no, once again I am sure you are all confused as to why this is happening—”

The broadcast was being cut off, every few seconds, the image quality was horrible making him almost unrecognizable.

”The military is already on the move, we have secured many—- refugees during this time— Some of the locations have been revealed— The military will now prioritise rescuing operations— We are taking any families which are in dire need of assistance—

We have alot—— on our plates— Our team has greatly reduced— We're doing the best—— We can— We are unable to maintain things any further— This is our last announcement for now—— I mentioned this before—— But I'll say it again—— We can't do this without—— We, those with abilities—— Are the key——”

Those were his last words, before the broadcast caught off. However, it wasn't just the broadcast. All the power in the city had cut off too.

Gray hidden beneath on the top of another apartment floor, had been listening in very closely. Once the broadcast was finished, he quickly checked on his phone to make sure.

And just as he suspected, he was right. He wasn't getting any signal.

The power supply in the city had died out, as a result, so did the cell towers. As a result there was no cellular service.

”Shit… Even the mobile data…”

”Still It lasted far longer than we expected.” Said Aurora, who was sat beside him.

She had a point, for it to have taken this long, must've meant something. Everything began on December the 2nd based on what Gray knew so for it to last 9 days like that, it was certainly something.

The government didn't just disappear like in the movies.

Gray breathed out a sigh, but for some reason he couldn't feel relief. Head to a refugee, drop of the kids, complete the quest then what? Focus on surviving in the middle of this apocalypse as he searched for his sister.

It sounded simple but it just felt like things weren't going to go as planned. It felt as if something bad was coming.

”The zombies are mutating… I just can't shake the bad feeling…” Gray muttered

It wasn't just the flying zombies which he was referring to, on their way to their currently location, he could see different types of abnormals on the roads, others on top of buildings even.

Some had their body radiating a strange red aura, while others had somehow developed bulky muscles and had grown to be twice the size of a regular zombie.

Not knowing what to say, Aurora could only lean against the anxious Gray, in hopes of comforting him.

From the outside the sound of a helicopter could be heard as it flew past.
