I was the first to go into the fray against the big guy in the strait jacket, him looking to be even more agitated than a normal zombie, to the point he even tried to ram his whole body into me! I dodged as best as I could as the big guy slammed into the wall and got a bit dazed, me seeing something worth biting, that being an exposed bit of flesh on his backside, including the ability to see part of his spine! I gagged as I rushed in and bit his back, him giving out a loud roar before then turning around and kicking me with his gigantic foot! I definitely felt the air leave me as I then caught my breath and proceeded to get up to bite the other zombies, not stopping until all of them had been healed... as for the big guy, he then finally calmed down as his skin turned green and he then sat on the ground and started to rock back and forth.
"You okay, buddy?" I asked, him looking at me with concern as he then tried to talk, but his Hannibal Lecter mask made it hard to hear. I then took off said mask and he then spoke. "Can you repeat that?"
"T-The horror... t-t-the needles... help... me..." he said, me seeing his voice was so soft now that he was greenified, me sighing as I looked at the others and spoke to them and my allies on the radio.
"Coast is clear now, but we need to turn those bells off. Tell the ones in the church that we're friendlies, got it?" I said.
"Incredible... a miracle has happened! Let them in, men!" I heard a voice say on the inside that I recognized instantly. It was Brother Stanley, one of the different members of the church! I then helped the big guy out of his strait jacket... and only then recognized who it was.
"Oh my God... Rolo?" I asked, me knowing him immediately from the brand on his chest. It was when he got branded by the Moresby Mutilators when they held him captive and, because he resisted, it caused his nipples to need surgically removed from the burns. "Why were you in the sanitarium? You didn't do a thing wrong!" I gawked at him.
"Not... there... GeoPharm... the needles... the pain... the Kuru..." he said, me gawking at that. I knew exactly what GeoPharm was, and I now knew that this was MORE than just a conspiracy. It was a concerted effort to make war! They were a war group in the disguise of chemical scientists. And if they were in charge of this whole Kuru pandemic... I wanted to ask further, but I knew that, from the constant stuttering and the look in Rolo's eyes that I had to leave him to think to himself for a while.
"Let's get you in here, we need to get some food in you," I said, him sniffing as I led him into the church and the others looked at him in surprise as I led him to a bench and he laid on it, his form making it creek from his weight he now had.
"Sister Grace... of all the ones to thank for this, I never thought it to be you," said the head of the church, Mother Helen, who was next to the door that led to the office of the church. And I then saw a duo of green people emerge from it as the bells finally died down, meaning that it was probably due to a person turning after turning on the bells.
"Greetings, Mother Helen... neither did I think so... when I got bit, I felt like I was going to turn... but I didn't. And now anyone that I bite becomes like me... including poor Rolo, here... he has vital information about who did this, but he needs rest. Poor guy's seen some things that would break most minds," I said, her sighing at that.
"I understand... may God give him peace of mind in these trying times... as for your allies, they said you needed to try and find a man called Sergei, correct?" she asked, me nodding at her. "Unfortunately, we don't know of this Sergei or where he may be. But if you can assist us with a few things, we can ask around to find out," she said, me smiling at that.
"I assume that me turning you to green Kuru zombies wouldn't be on the list?" I asked, her sighing.
"As much as I would wish to say you are correct... the members of this church are fearful for what may happen and wish to assist the needy as you have. I'd like to ask if you can give them the gift that God has chosen you to give to others. It is a sign from Him that you are so uniquely immune compared to your friends," she said, me smiling at that.
"Okay... would you like to go first or last?" I asked.
"I shall go first... if something were to happen to me, I leave the church in the hands of Sister Josephine," she said, me smiling as the sister in question was currently kneeling and praying and she simply smiled over to us before continuing her prayer. I then bit her hand quickly, but only enough to break her skin. "OW! I didn't know it'd hurt like that!" she said in surprise as her skin then went through the green transformation... and as for her, she looked to be getting something else. Her mouth looked like it became a bit... wider? And her throat had gained a bit of a bigger voice box. She then spoke and I could tell that it was different immediately.
"I FEEL WIERD IN MY THROAT!" she said loudly, before then holding her hands to her mouth, us looking at her in surprise as she then looked at us and then opened her mouth again. "Why Am I Speaking So Loud... And I'm Whispering This Time, Too..." she said, me looking at her with a frown.
"Again, it seems you got a unique strain of it, much like some of the others I've bitten... a strong voice, kind of like um... the booming voice of God?... eh..." I said, the others frowning.
"Is that the best you can say about that?" asked Sister Josephine, me smiling at her.
"I'd rather not mention the names of certain creatures like Black Canary from the comics or the cry of a banshee," I said.
"Please Do Not... Anyways..." Mother Helen said before all of us then proceeded to bite and half-immunize all the other ones in the church except for Jin and the true immunes on our side, which we then got the next bit of things to do. "Now That That's Done, We'll Try And Find Sergei While You Do Jobs For Us. The Water For Most Of The City Isn't Working, And The Group We Sent To The Pumping Station Haven't Reported Back. We Fear The Moresby Mutilators May Be Responsible. Can You Find Out What's Going On And Try To Turn Our Water Back On?" she asked, me nodding at her.
"Yes, Mother Helen... just, try not to yell unless you're in danger, okay? I bet you anything that it'll be loud enough to burst eardrums and attract other zombies," I said.
"Don't worry, she's a calm person normally," said Rolo, who was getting a bit better after resting his head. "I'll share more... after you get back... I still need to get my bearings..." he sighed, me nodding at that.
"Stay safe, Rolo," I smiled at him. I then left out the door and then led the way for the others through the streets, driving the armored car all the way, needing to slam it through numerous broken and busted cars in the process. And we then heard something on the loudspeakers that made me put on the brakes and roll the right window down just a bit.
"Why we stopping?" Sam B asked as I shushed him, and we heard the loudspeakers.
"If anyone out there can hear us, the police have failed us! The military has failed us! Do NOT come to the police station! We will kill you on sight if you dare to stand against the new rulers of Moresby! All praise the Morseby Mutilators!" spoke someone that made my frown turn into a horrid grimace. I felt a tang of disgust in my stomach at hearing this and KNEW that something needed done.
"Guys, I have a request," I said, them looking at me.
"What is it?" Xian asked.
"That asshole on the PA system... THAT guy? He's the one who, shortly after I became a citizen, raped me. And now he's out of jail and running the cop station. When we're done with the pump station business and I get some assistance from other zombies on our side, I want to go there myself and take him out. Not just him, but ALL of the Moresby Mutilators. Not zombify them, kill them and burn their bodies," I said, the group looking at me in surprise.
"Shit, I'm down with that. I'm ready to bash some heads for-" Logan was about to say before I spoke.
"No, I'm not inviting you guys," I said, the group looking surprised. "I am the one that needs to take those thugs out. I've had ten run-ins with those assholes in my life and they never got the memo that women can be tough. And if they've kidnapped anyone else, I need to save them before they get hurt like I did..." I sighed as I then put my hand on my stomach with a sigh.
"Wait... oh God... they didn't..." Purna said, me sighing at that as I then drove again.
"They ruined my innocence, my virginity, and they ruined my future. I really wanted to have a child when I grew up... now I can't," I sighed.
"They're dead for sure, then, having to deal with an angry, regenerating zombie," Sam B frowned angrily. We then finally arrived at the pumping station, and I saw that there were a few zombies trying to get in, but they were shot through the heads by none other than workers of the Moresby Mutilators!
"Those were innocent people... now time to see if I can do something else," I sighed as I then went over to the dead bodies and bit them on the hands... and then, shortly after, everyone around us looked in shock as the bodies became green and the people then reformed their heads, brains, and bodies! And though I thought their minds wouldn't be there within...
"Wh-What the hell is going on?!" asked one of them, it being a little girl! 7!
"I'll tell you what's going on, folks. Revenge on the Moresby Mutilators. Let's show them what happens to child killers," I growled as the group of my zombies then rushed into the gates and the Moresby Mutilators tried to shoot holes into our bodies! And with our new powers, every bullet went into our bodies, but then got pushed out from our regeneration! We rushed in and proceeded to grab their guns from them and slash their bodies with our claws! And before the 7-year-old could bite one of them, I halted her.
"Don't bite them, it'll make them be just like us. And we do not want assholes like these to be able to live forever. Let them die slowly and painfully, like their victims," I growled, the group nodding at me as we then proceeded to slay the rest of them with our stolen weapons and claws, eating all the bullets until we slew all of them and got to the shack at the back of the pumping station, me speaking from the outside.
"Hey! Any Moresby Mutilators in there?!" I asked aloud.
"N-No! Are you friendlies?! Are they all gone?!" the one man asked, me speaking after.
"Yes, we are, yes, we slew all of the mutilators at the pumping station, but please do not get horrified when you see us. We're uh... unique," I said as I then unbarricaded the door and three different people emerged. One man, one woman, and one child of roughly 9 years of age. And she immediately rushed to me and hugged my leg, not even caring when she saw the green on my skin. The woman and man sure noticed, though.
"Um... are you all infected?... Then why aren't you attacking?" the woman asked, me seeing she was unharmed... the girl, though? Her skirt was ripped in numerous places, her hair was disheveled, and her face had a black eye and had a bad injury under her left ear.
"Because I'm unique. And anyone I bite also becomes unique. So, I insist that, when you get the chance, gather all of the bodies of these mutilators and burn them so they don't get bitten by any other zombies," I frowned, him nodding at that.
"Thank you for rescuing our family... they did horrible things to my daughter... thankfully, they didn't get the chance to ruin her virginity..." the man said. "Now to get this place back to normal," he said, us then going to the control room and him then scoffing at the sights. "Ugh! Those Moresby Mutilators!... They sent all the water to the police station, halting the production to the other residencies! Time to fix that!" he said as he changed the items on the computer and then, shortly after, the water was back online for all... EXCEPT the police station! And I knew that now was the time to go take out the Mutilators at the station on my lonesome.
"Okay, now it's time to go out and defeat the jerks at the police station. And in the meantime, I want you guys to assist in changing the other infected that you find and bringing the uninfected innocents to the church of Moresby. Do not turn the uninfected unless they give consent, okay?" I said, them nodding at that as the little girl with the injuries then looked at me with a sniff.
"Can I be cool, too? I want to make them pay, too," she said, me looking at her and sighing. I then looked at the two adults, and they sighed.
"She's been through a lot... she got hurt badly because she bit them and fought back... if you hadn't come by, they were planning to force themselves on her..." they said, me sighing at that.
"Okay, but I'm still unsure if this will work. Every instance we've had of biting an uninfected person gives them certain different mutation... and I haven't tested on a kid before," I said.
"Okay... I'm prepared..." she said, me sighing and then biting her on the hand, her wincing, but not shouting... but then? Something happened to her. Her body became green and got the boils... but this time? It made us horrified! Her body got boils... and more boils... and more boils! And by the time it had finished, she then got to the point that her torso was now the same size as an adult! And her head was the only part that didn't have boils!
"O-Oh my god..." I gawked as she looked at me in confusion... and no pain?
"Why are you looking at me like that?... And why do I feel taller?" she asked, me looking at the boils and her looking down and looking surprised. "O-Oh... what's this?" she asked, me speaking after.
"Um... exploding boils... but it seems you don't have the suffering the regular infected do when they get the strain... but do not mess with them, as they should be explosive," I said, the mom and dad looking in shock.
"EXPLOSIVE?! What's gonna happen to our baby?!" the mother asked in shock.
"Well, as with the others that get my strain, even if she does explode, she will feel zero pain and she'll reform her body shortly after... but we should probably step away from her..." I said, them looking in confusion before getting closer... and after, the girl looked confused.
"I feel weird... my chest feels a bit heavy now..." she said, me seeing the boils were starting to bubble with gas, and the parents noticed and got far back, the girl then losing the explosive bubbles and sighing after.
"Yep, as I expected, she has an involuntary reaction towards uninfected people. Now, if she gets close to someone that isn't infected, she'll start charging for a self-destruct involuntarily..." I sighed.
"Then give us the same treatment... we don't want to blow up by being near her," the mom said, me then doing the same to them... and after, the duo then simply turned into grenadier variants like Sinamoi was. The family then had a soft hug and they looked confused at the feeling.
"This is... so bizarre..." they admitted.
"Let's go out and save some people a lot of headache," Sam B said, me then going out of the place as the father stayed behind, but the mother and daughter came with us.
"What are your names, by the way? I'm Grace Chicago," I said.
"I'm Lucy..." the girl smiled.
"And I'm Cleo," the mother smiled. "And thanks for saving us... though I still feel a bit upset about Lucy's new... ahem... power," she said.
"Same... especially since those that I get near with this particular strain automatically blow up and are in constant pain... Lucy, though? This strain of mine has no pain, so she doesn't either," I said, Lucy giggling for a change as we then walked to the police station and then, when we did, we then knew we had to get prepared for a lot of explosions and a lot of bullets...
