My god it was a gallows. At least sixty human bodies were hanging from the
ceiling. They all had expressionless looks on their faces.
"No," yelled Keith from behind me. A zombie had grabbed him and started eating him.
"Get off you stupid thing!" I screamed as I Shot it off Keith. It fell off in a pool of blood.
John went to incinerate it but I stopped him, "Wait I want to check this one out."
"Alright then," John said.
I walked up to the body and began searching it. It was a gruesome business. On the chest was a nametag. It read Dr. Wilkins. In the pocket of his shirt was a piece of paper. It had a note from someone and a list of orders.
Dr Wilkins:
I want you to take care of the procedure we were talking about earlier. I don't want your feelings or emotions getting in the way of anything! This is a direct order. Your family will not be kept safe if you don't listen to this. Do it tonight, when you are sure no one is watching. If you hang them like I said, while they are asleep they won't struggle. They will be injected with a sedative. Infect them with the I-Virus. If it works we can say it is a success. If not then it's back to formula. This greatly depends upon you I have enclosed a list of the sixty specimens that will be used. Good luck.
"Jesus Christ," Keith said, "that's insane."
"Yea that is creepy. Plus they were infected with the I-Virus. Apparently the I-Virus doesn't work." Kevin said.
Saying that was like a trigger because all sixty of the bodies took knives out of their pockets and cut themselves down! I tired to back up but my feet and legs weren't working correctly. I fell down in front of them.
To my horror one started talking to me, "You will die know, Birkin's orders!"
Birkin! I spun around to look for John but he wasn't there. Where the hell had he gone? This couldn't be right. He was with the military not Umbrella. Or was he with Umbrella? This was a question that couldn't be answered right now. We had to get out of the room quick. I got up and made a run for the door. The other five followed. Now our group was down to six, Xavier, David, Kevin, Keith, and myself.
'Where on Earth did John go!" Xavier yelled when we were out of the room, and running far from the door.
"He was a traitor. I knew I had heard the name Birkin before. William Birkin was a chief researcher at Umbrella in Raccoon City. He created the Nemesis or G-Virus. He then infected himself with it." Said David.
So William Birkin and John Birkin must be brothers, but why would John want to work with Umbrella after what it did to his brother? That would be the opposite of avenging his death. Maybe it was to honor William's work. I don't think we will ever know for sure. But for know we must press on and hope those zombies don't follow us.
That was an empty hope. The zombies slammed through the door and split up into three groups of twenty. We were watching from behind the bookcase. Luckily they didn't send any of the groups our way. We ducked into an unfamiliar room that said "Test Subjects."
Inside was another of the tubes that was in the room we visited earlier. Although inside was as strange creature that didn't fit any of the descriptions on the note we got at the beginning of this venture. It was a long green slimy snake. It was at least seven feet long but it was coiled up to fit in the tube. In a chair next to the tube we found some extra ammo for handguns and my shotgun.
I heard banging and English speech I could understand. It was coming from the closet in the left hand corner of the room. I worked up courage and went to open the door. A strange feeling drew me away. Xavier however, took action. He ran up to the door, handgun at the ready, and swung the door open. Inside was a young woman. She was wearing a lab coat that had a nametag. Her name was
"Lyndee!" I said, "I haven't seen you in ages. I was beginning to think something happened to you."
"No I got a job here not knowing what I was getting into," she said.
"So what happened?" David asked.
"Well I enlisted here when I was eighteen. The pay was good and I liked the work. I didn't know, of course, that the pharmaceutical thing was just a front for the real organization. I never dreamed I would be a test subject for a biological weapon!" she said.
An addition to our team was welcome but was not equipped with a weapon. Xavier began searching the closet Lyndee had been hiding in, "Hey look at this, a M-16!"
Lyndee feared the use of the large machine-gun so I took it. I gave her the shotgun I had acquired previously, "God I hate guns," she said.
"In this situation they are a necessity," I said, "by the way can you tell us anything about the Umbrella Operation?"
Lyndee shuddered at the thought but began talking to us anyway, "Well when I started at Umbrella I was nothing but a member of the front organization. The pharmaceutical side of Umbrella seemed to be doing very noble things for the world. It really did appeal to me. Then one night while, they thought I was asleep, I was injected with a very strong sedative, as far as I know they did it so I wouldn't wake up. In reality I was awake the entire time I was wit then. I watched as they took a shot over to my roommate and plunged the needle into her arm. The shot had a label on it that said T- Virus. At this point I started to realize what Umbrella really was. I started rising in the ranks of employees. Soon I wasn't allowed to leave and see my family. They said I knew too much. At one point I started to see things go on in the laboratory part of the main temple that disturbed me. One of the human test subjects was basically immune to the entire effects of the T-Virus. His cells did eventually begin the mutation but he showed such a strong resistance to the substance it scared us all. Once his cellular structure began to fully mutate it showed us an effect we had never seen on any subject. He had a very high level of aggressiveness. No matter what we fed to him he craved more and more human flesh. In the end we decided that it was time to dispose of this thing. One of the primary researchers used a Magnum that was kept for unruly B.O.W subjects and blew the man's head off. No effect whatsoever. Blowing the head off of the test subject also made a large hole in the glass cage he was being kept in. He jumped out, none of his accuracy lost, and used claws on his hands to decapitate the man who shot him. Another man grabbed the Magnum and began shooting. Nothing affected it at all. The test subject picked up the decapitated man's head and ran off. As far as I know that mad thing is still out in the temple."
Everyone gave Lyndee a strange look. She just smiled back at us saying, "Whatever he was I'm sure he somehow met his death with one of the other B.O.W.s in that temple. A large group of those Crimson Hunters could take him I sure."
Though none of us really believed that it was a comforting thought. It scared me that there was a creature that was not affected by bullets. The silence was broken by glass breaking. Everyone span around to see the snake trying to get out of its watery grave. As the snake was shattering the small veil of glass between it and us we made for the door. One peek out the door, however, told us we were better off where we were. As the snake kept pounding, we saw a part of the group of the intelligent zombies was on our trail. There were about twenty of them searching. Kevin closed the door slowly and looked back to see the see that the snake had disappeared and the tube was spilling out water. In the shards of glass on the ground I saw a magazine of Handgun bullets. I picked them up and tossed them to David. He loaded them in and I noticed a broken window. I walked up to it and stuck my head out side. I could see the strange vines, but the snake was nowhere to be found.
"Well I don't see the snake but the vines are still there," I said, "Lyndee do you know anything about those vines?"
She looked uncomfortable. It took her awhile but finally she spoke, "Yes, I created the source. I was young then, and naïve. The idea of the T-Virus fascinated me and I did things I shouldn't have. I went out and found a poison ivy plant. I took it back to an area in this place that would be cut off from all humans. I planted it in some soil and infected it with the T- Virus. Over the course of a week it continued and continued to grow. It also spawned smaller monsters that were giant Venus flytraps that I also planted in that area. In other words there is a giant carnivorous and poisonous plant somewhere around here. I should say it must be destroyed before we leave."
So a new task is assigned. Destroy that plant then we can head back to the temple, hopefully not running into that poor man who was immune to the virus.
"No," yelled Keith from behind me. A zombie had grabbed him and started eating him.
"Get off you stupid thing!" I screamed as I Shot it off Keith. It fell off in a pool of blood.
John went to incinerate it but I stopped him, "Wait I want to check this one out."
