7 Peaceful Nigh (1/2)
Let's be honest, who could really fall asleep at a night like this?
After sleeping on Elon's floor for a bit, Christian whispered, ”Yo, you awake?”
”Yeah.”
”You are the most knowledgeable one out of us, what do you think happened?”
After a moment of silence, Elon slowly spoke, ”It should be planned.”
Christian was of course stunned at first at this thought. ”Wait, but who could plan something so brutal? What are they even trying to achieve by just airdropping zombies to kill people?”
Just then, they both stopped at the thought of the plane that para-dropped those boxes filled with zombies.
”But could it have been an accident though? Like you know those story plots where a cargo plane or ship or truck did an oopsie and accidentally dropped those stuff... Wait...” Christian didn't want to think the worst out of people, because if something like this was planned, it would be much more difficult to deal with than if it was just a one-time oopsie in Miami. But then, he remembered the creepy announcement moment before the airdrops.
”You are remembering the announcement now?” Seeing the change in Christian's eyes, Elon quietly added, ”It sounded monotone, and it was like a warning. However, its intention wasn't to minimize casualty since it didn't bother trying to make itself sound convincing, nor did it give enough time for people to react.”
”Yeah, someone should be behind this, and that announcement was really just adding to their enjoyment if anything,” Christian stroked his chin and analyzed.
”Do you think AI could be behind this since that announcement was a robotic voice?” Elon asked.
”Well, I'm not sure about that, because of all the Terminator movies I watched, none of them used zombies... But yeah now that I think about it, it's a planned apocalypse for sure, since it also mentioned that there will be updates after 24 hours, so tomorrow afternoon at around 4:30,” Christian said.
Then, the two went into silence, both thinking about different things.
It was getting a bit chilly, especially with most of their living room wall rolled up. In a dead silent night like this, Jay and Alex could faintly hear an engine running from their backyard direction.
They slowly went down to check, and they saw a boat approaching and eventually docking by the backyard of their next door neighbor.
Then, a big van drove into their backyard, across the lawn and stopped by the lakeside. Under the moonlight, Jay and Alex could faintly see a man coming down from the boat, joining the two men and a woman that began carrying things onto the yacht.
