Transmission #177: Location Southern Wind Country, Old Wind Monk Temple
(Muffled movement can be heard before a bit of coughing.)
Hello everyone from the South Rehan Desert! We found refuge in an old Wind Temple South of what used to be Suna, so what did we miss last week?
Well we were thinking of meeting up with the Konoha Forest Group but we haven't received a transmission from them for quite some time now. Oh yes by the way did you get the news from the mountain teams?
No we've been cut off from any relative news for quite some time. It was difficult to radio in when there were no safe places to hide, but what's the news?
Apparently the afflicted have evolved to match their new prey, i.e. us.
So what did they grow stronger arms and legs or something with longer hooked claws to grab us or something?
No, it seems they've learned how to access their chakra and actively use it.
(Several gasps could be heard in the background) Well shit that's way worse than what I was thinking about. Let me guess they were walking the cliffs with their chakra?
Pretty much, the scouts would have missed them if it weren't for the sensors they had with them. Apparently they've learned to quiet down as to not startle us as well seeing as that's pretty much their early warning signal. You guys should be careful if that's the case, I know those sandstorms can get pretty loud.
Yeah thanks for the warning in advance, but they're okay right?
Yeah they had some Iwa Nin cause a few rock slides to detach the zombies from the cliffs and bury them.
Well that's a relief, but man chakra using zombies? It's only a matter of time before they figure out elemental composition.
And when that happens no one will be safe. Anyway time to get moving, the caravan is packing up, were heading to Taki, word is it's one of the last few Safe Havens since it's so well hidden.
Be careful no need to walk into a trap and die, don't want to lose my radio buddy so soon, just got used to talking to you guys. (A few chuckles could be heard between both operators before quieting down)
Man…
Yeah.
Well talk to you all in a week if everything goes to plan, if not it'll be sooner that.
Stay Safe
Stay Swift
And stay ALIVE

End Transmission.
...OLE! So yeah this teaser MIGHT be a little... late. Sorry about that. Either way kinda tired because I managed to somehow fubar my own sleep schedule through gaming, yay for budding aspiring gaming careers! Regardless, here's the third teaser as you can see the infected are evolving, It's kind of a play on the last chapter teaser (I had all of these written way before hand so no you didn't really change any thing with your responses but it kinda helps tie each teaser together). I got the first official chapter of the story done, half way through the second. The fourth chapter (or is it fifth...? :) for Revolutions of the Mind is almost done trying to work around a new post length so I can post more efficiently (somewhere around 5-10k words) the chapters for WWN will be around 3-5k to keep things short and simple as I feel I can write more drama with this story as opposed to Revolutions that requires more detail.
Anyway Discussion for this chapter: Every zombie/infected story has a background. Usually involving either some company or ritual or just some random act of god that decides "Hey everybody has to die". If you could come up with your own original way to do it, what would you do and how would you have the survivors respond after so many years.
And now to go throw up because I haven't eaten all day. Peace.
