Chapter 188 : Infectious Bite

  The war between the Sandar Kingdom and its two neighboring countries ended one month after the mini-Bryans had their first birthday which the mothers insisted to give their boys this experience even when the little brats didn't want to be forced to wear funny-looking clothes and to be forced to smile to everyone who tries to approach or carry them.

  Indeed their forces got pushed back to the desert once again once supplies arrived and the morale on both sides shifted.

  The loss of lives on both sides was great but only the Rivermen and the Sembiaars grieved their death while the crazy desert dwellers celebrated theirs like crazed maniacs!

  Of course their situation would've been much worse if it wasn't for Bryan's constant shipments of food and water plus sometimes even medicine would be included in these supplies.

  Caleb tried to be sneaky once because he wanted to know Bryan's secret but he received his warning and decided that it's not worth the risk to offend the person who's taking care of feeding the whole Kingdom.

  Bryan discovered that he bought everything which his community might need in the future and secured the other locations outside which has all the resources that could be necessary in the future, that's why he gave the additional funds to Tiana and had her make sure there's pns and designs for the whole Narren Country could be segmented into smaller sections and isoted from one another as quickly as possible.

  This gave the president of this flourishing and prospering country another hint about the possibility of a pandemic of some kind which is going to require taking immediate and urgent actions to isote the healthy from the sick.

  This frightening idea was further solidified within her mind once she looked at the location of his headquarters which is cking absolutely nothing and could sustain itself for years and years without having to go look outside their walls for anything at all, especially when he kept urging her to accumute teams of specialists from every walk of life and all sorts of resources plus guns... Lot's and lots of firearms with every kind of heavy machinery.

  The citizens of the Narren Country started to notice that despite their growing economy and financial strength which put all of their minds at ease about the future of their children and the next generations, there's this mysterious anxiety in the atmosphere which they couldn't expin it... The government giving them free healthcare and mandatory checkups were forced on all of them to assess the average state of physical conditions in all age-groups, certain restrictions being pced on products which fall in the "Grey" zone while all the products which were deemed unhealthy for the citizens were banned immediately.

  Encouraging adds to take care of their diet and to exercise more to stay fit!

  Certain chokepoints in different parts of the country were always heavily guarded by units of police while the presence of the army could be seen close and nearby.

  Of course the citizens didn't receive any kind of harassment or restrictions to their rights and could roam freely and do whatever they like with their money or have all kinds of fun as long as they're not breaking any ws or putting themselves or other peoples' lives in harms way which was... Quite confusing really and the natives of this country couldn't expin really.

  Until months ter when news about a certain discovery on the other side of the globe appeared.

  It was showing a man in a local park which looked like a homeless person judging by the tattered rags he's wearing on his body which was twisted in a painful-looking angle and twitching constantly while making short and raspy groans and teeth clicking noise.

  Some elderly woman tried to approach that man but his mouth opened then his teeth snapped on her fingers, she immediately jerked her hand back but the old woman was missing a couple of digits and blood sprayed everywhere as she shrieked form the pain while trying to press the wound to stop the blood.

  As if responding to her call, that man which was still chewing on the fingers in his mouth and seemed satisfied with his prize from earlier... opened his mouth wide and awkwardly twisted his neck to look towards the one calling to him... A pair of murky eyes which made it obvious that he can't see anything through these bloodshot eyes and a sickly green skin were exposed to the camera which its owner dropped and appeared on the other side as the little kid ran for his life while crying and screaming "Sorry grandma... Y-you hang tight... I'll go call daddy... Stay away from her..." but the screams of his dying grandma quickly followed and some of her blood spshed in front of the camera.

  Minutes ter that old woman appeared crawling while making the same teeth cttering noise and twitching all-over her body, but when she appeared in front of the camera she was responding to the call from her son who arrived at the scene with his kid and like his mother he ended up losing a couple of his digits once he tried to pull his mother up from the ground while crying!

  Once again the little boy's face went pale before running for his life while apologizing to his father for what happened but this time he never went back to the scene to witness his father joining his mother and the one who assaulted her in their awkward journey of crawling towards the medics and the officers who arrived.

  The live feed showed that part of the city in that foreign nation one day after that incident, everyone was crawling.

  Three days ter everyone was up on their feet and looked to be sleepwalking while making all sorts of awkward and sudden moves with their body which mostly ended up with the whole group tumbling and falling on top of one another in a heap of mess which could no longer be called human.

  Tiana immediately took action once the very first video of the boy and his grandmother appeared, the whole Narren Country was in complete lockdown... Citizens and foreigners alike were warned that whoever wishes to leave the country and go anywhere else is free to do so but until the situation in the world is stabilized once again and its safe for them to return they're going to have to stay out there until it happens.

  Most of the foreigners left the country to go check on their loved ones, some of the adventurous morons choose to leave and go experience the Zombies!

  Military and Police were responsible of guarding against the irresponsible citizens and also against themselves, certain regutions and preventive measures had to be followed by everyone including themselves.

  But there's always these wild morons who hate to listen to orders from the government officials even if this is one of the rare occasions where they're in fact true.

  Tiana was hurting deeply whenever a report of a certain family turning and the police and military having to empty some part of a neighborhood in so and so city, town, or vilge.

  No matter how much she tried to convince the citizens that it's wrong to break these regutions it all went to shit in the end after a month when a few soldiers had to watch as members of their family got terminated after turning lots and lots of innocent and helpless civilians.

  The world which was suddenly loud with noise that humans were mainly the one making... Suddenly got eerily quiet as the ccking teeth, scratching nails, and dragging feet plus the hoarse and raspy groans grew louder as the lonely Zombies joined the few to make small groups before fusing with other small groups to make it bigger and so on until cities which had millions of inhabitants had only a few survivors left here and there hiding and afraid... Scared shitless after seeing the numbers of Zombies which are slowly patrolling the streets almost everywhere in their immediate and obviously according to the rare few news channels left... Everywhere else in the world.

  Bryan was silent from the moment this incident began, in fact he was silent ever since the day where he got transported to Linnet's world and witnessed her strange powers arrived.

  He kept spending time with his family and training like usual but most of the time he'd be outside the walls digging pits, putting obstacles, and creating traps plus installing barbed wire fences.

  In case their enemies manage to pass everything with enough force where they can't use their firepower to push them back or end their threat, Bryan dug something which looks like a deep canyon behind the line of obstacles and stacked the rocks on the side of his walls so his people would get more chances to keep the enemies from passing to their side.

  Tiana refused to leave he citizens which need her more than anything when Bryan asked Elena to bring that woman to their territory so Anna knocked her out before appearing in front of the screen and saying this : "You can follow the regutions if you want to continue living as a human being instead of a Zombie, but we're going to kill every Zombie we see anyway so... It doesn't matter because these freaks don't hold back and neither would we."

  Tiana held a grudge for a while but Rebecca, Sofia, Monika and the rest of the wise ones in the community which thankfully didn't get exposed to the horrifying environment outside these walls talked to her and told this Madam President that she already did everything she could to help their fellow countrymen!

  'Maybe I should've put them in enclosures like this one! No... They'd have thought I'm turning into some sort of dictator and rebelled immediately, Bryan choose this location well and took it slow with his actions during the years even when he had these people's gratitude and appreciation for everything he did.' Tiana thought while making a trip to the walls and standing on top and looking down to watch Bryan working alone on one side while the rest of the people are working together and barely keeping up with him on the other side.
