Level up Zombie

152 You're screwed

Opening his eyes, the entirety of Brandon's body felt groggy. It wasn't hurting, he had only received a few scratches from the onslaught of bullets from before, but even then, it was hard to tell why his wounds weren't hurting in the first place.

The initial adrenaline rush should have been over by now, yet he could hardly feel and control his body. He just felt incredibly weak.

'Is it some type of drug, sedative maybe? That would make sense why my mind isn't complete there, and it was the same with that woman from before. What did that kid say her name was…Kelly?'

Just when he was thinking about this, he heard a few groans from his left, and it looked like there was someone with him, and it was none other than Kelly herself. She seemed to be more awake than him, judging by her eyes.

But that wasn't what stood out. Instead, it was the fact that they were in another operating room, different from the one before, this one looked a lot cleaner, and the two of them were tied and strapped up to strange chairs, similar to the ones used on mental patients or the prisoners on death row.

"I'm sorry. I should have told you before." Kelly said in a low voice, now seeing that Brandon was awake. "They have these potent tranquillizers that they can use. That's how they got me before, and the doctor himself has this tranquillizer in his body. I mean, It's happened a few times, but when he touches me with his hand, even when he's barehanded, I start to feel heavy-headed and sleepy."

It wasn't strange for the hospital to have some substances that could make one go under, but what was strange was Kelly's last sentence.

"Sorry, I know I'm not making much sense right now, but I was so panicked, and I think I'm just putting things together now." Then, she began to elaborate, "You see, the doctor, he was asking about superhumans and was running all sorts of different tests on me.

"I think...honestly, he was trying to turn me into a superhuman by torturing me, but now that I think about it, how could the doctor be such sure superhumans even exist? I haven't even really seen any for myself. Which makes me believe that he has to be sure of it for one reason."

"Because he is a superhuman himself." Brandon finished off her sentence coming to the same conclusion. "Well, knowing that information won't help us out now because we're stuck here. Either way, the only thing we can rely on is that teenager calling for help."

Hearing the word teenager had perked up Kelly's ears a bit. Regardless, her energy was incredibly low, and she had already suffered a lot when Brandon had tried his best to get both of them out of the situation they were in not too long ago.

The only saving grace was the fact that whatever was causing her body to feel this way was wearing off, and the time for her waking up was getting shorter and shorter.

"I don't think you will be able to rely on that teenager for long." The doctor said as he entered the room from the side. He then picked up a remote that was placed on the side of a table and pressed a button.

There was a screen directly above the two of them, it was one that doctors would usually use when performing surgery, but it had been set up for something else. After a few buttons were pushed, they could see surveillance footage inside the hospital.

In the hallway, they were able to see Cody, along with Pink and Kun as well. Suddenly Cody jumped out of the window as it looked like something dangerous was coming their way.

'This…is it live footage or something from before?'

Listening closely to the video, Brandon could hear the sound of gunshots, and he could only assume that this was going on at the same time while they were dealing with their own mess, which meant some time had passed.

"I can tell you are someone who had special training, and it looks like you were prepared for something like this, and even had two waiting outside to come in. I have to admit they are skillful, but they won't be able to reach this floor."

Pressing another button, it switched to the live feed, showing the two of them in the main hall, a large oval space that branched off to several hallways and stairs. Here they could see a number of mutated creatures, experiments performed by the doctor mashing up man and zombie, creating something horrid, and the two of them, even with their guns, seemed to be somewhat struggling to take them down.

"Your reinforcements will fail, and rather than worrying about the two. I think the two of you should worry about yourself. You see, I have an experiment I have been working on, and so far, the results have been unsatisfactory.

"At some point, even I eventually give up, or my methods go a little too far, to the point where the only way of saving someone is turning them into something like that."

Kelly gulped as she imagined her body being meshed up like that. Thankfully, she had held out against all the methods used so far, but at one point, she did feel like her mind was on the verge of breaking.

Pressing another button, the camera switched to multiple views, allowing the doctor to see several different cameras around the hospital and on all floors. However, he didn't wish to pay too much attention to that as he turned around and was ready to put on his white gloves, snapping them on one at a time.

"Usually, we would sanitize everything before doing such an operation, but there is no reason for me to follow the rules and procedures anymore." The doctor said, walking closer towards both of them, but that's when he could see a smile on the two faces.

'What is this? Rather than fear, they are smiling instead?' Then, looking in the direction of their eyes, they could see that it was towards the CCTV screen. That's when the doctor noticed someone he didn't recognize on the screen.

"Oh, it looks like you have one more. But do you really think a single red-haired guy will change anything?" The doctor asked.

Hearing these words, Brandon started to chuckle.

"Yeah, I do." He recalled all the amazing feats this person could accomplish, things that should have been impossible for a human. He recalled how the same red-haired young man played a crucial role in taking down the zombie horde and saving the museum.

And after seeing him appear here, a ray of hope lit up in his heart, and he felt quite relieved.

He smiled while staring at the doctor and only added two more words.

"You're f*cked."
