Metropolitan City, 2 December 2045…
Metropolitan City, an enormous and well developed city in the country under the administration of Republic of Metropolis. The city also well known as the main source of the revenue for the country where it has contributed for about 65 percent of the annual national income. Metropolitan City was located under the first district of the country, MetroCore-Tech City District where it was the capital district of the republic, lied in the middle of the country.
Metropolitan City has confronted the most dangerous epidemic that causing half of citizens in the city being infected uncontrollably known as X-Virus. The people have been turned into a big group of creatures that were very disgusting and awful. They have been turned into the zombies. Indeed, it has paralysed the economies in the whole area, thus the government had to quarantine as well as declaring 'emergency'. The people who were saved have been ordered to evacuate the city and not allowed to be inside the quarantined zone for 50 kilometres.
The most powerful defense department in the world that have been ever established by the government, International Spying Force or known as I.S.F have did an outstanding job and precisions when the Chancellor of the force, Teresa assigned the Head Commander of the Elite Squad, Thomas Edison to find the main source of the virus. The report stated that the virus has been created and found in a rural village at the North East of the country known as Heron Village. After Thomas encountered with the founder of the virus, George De' Castellar, he brought back the sample and made the city back as usual.
Most notable memory of the squad history, Thomas had fell in love with the local villager who worked as a hunter, namely Newton Isaac or Newt. They were currently together officially and the chancellor has approved their relationships. As Newt had been gifted with an expertise and outstanding ability in shooting, he had been hired by her and being absorbed into the Elite Squad automatically. In more luckily, he also had been appointed to lead a shooting squad in the department.

Somewhere around the Metropolitan City…
The people were wandering around the whole streets and stores. The city was crowded and noisy as usual as it be. Some people were going to work and some of them were spending time with families and friends. The traffic were always unstable because of the congestions that occurred uncertainly. But anyhow, Metropolitan City was a complete futuristic city and any vehicles that using fuels and smoke exhausts were not allowed anymore. All the vehicles have been designed using jet technology that made them afloat on the road.
The new couple, Thomas and Newt were currently on holidays. They wanted to spend the holidays together without being interrupted by any disturbance either works or friends. They wanted to be alone together, just two of them. Since Newt became Thomas's boyfriend, Thomas wanted to be with him as much as he could. To him, Newt was everything to him, his life, his heart and his breathe.
They didn't wear the I.S.F uniforms otherwise they wearing normal casual clothes. They were spending time together in the city, walking along the streets and stores, hand in hand.
"It's been 10 months I lived here since I arrived for the first time. Now, I know why the people are liked to live in such a comfortable place." Newt expressed his opinion.
Thomas tighten the hands, smiling broadly at him. He replied, "I'm glad that you're here with me, Newt."
Newt continued, "I was happy when you brought me here with the relationship that we've built so far. From being a hunter with an unstable finance and salary, now I don't have to worry about it anymore. I'm glad that I'm with you too, Tommy."
Thomas just bowed down and smiled shyly, feeling shy with his 'confession'. But, Newt began asking him after that with the curiousity inside his mind, "Why did you still want to save me even though we know that we don't have much time left during that time?"
Thomas kept gripping his hand and kissed his hand gently. He looked at his boyfriend sharply, an expression of sad and fear appeared inside him simultaneously. He explained, "It's because…I don't want to leave the area without you. My only wish when I started to fall in love with you, I wanted to live together with you as you could work together with me. I love you very much, Newt…that's why I don't want to let you go…"
Newt tightened the grip between the hands and smiled broadly. He was very happy when Thomas turned out to be very honest with their relationship that they weaved together. Throughout his life, he never fell in love into a guy because he did not have any feelings for the same gender. However, since he joined the mission along with Thomas, he had faced a new challenge that he had never experienced before, encountering with the zombies. Since then, a new feeling toward Thomas began to appear in his heart and his love towards him has become increasing.
'Thank you' was the only word that Newt could say to him. He was totally speechless with his sincerity. He expressed his gratitude to him shyly, nevertheless…speechless, "T-Thank you…Tommy…"
They continued walking together around the city as they enjoying their date…
