Apocalyptic Insanity

Authors note: From now on I will write down every day after the apocalypse has happen to give more orientation.

————————————————————————————————————–[DAY 7]

”HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! ” laughs and smiles Neo while looking at his reflection in the bathroom of the apartment.

”Unbelievable. Just unbelievable … so Im not human anymore.

Thats probably why Im so incredibly hungry. Are all undead that hungry? ” Neo wondered.

”But wait a minute, the undead are brainless monsters that will attack anyone, whether its their children or their family. They clearly don have their memories of their lives before…

Then why do I still have my mind and my memories?

…

Perhaps the virus reacts differently depending on a persons DNA. I think that speedy zombie from the store downstairs is a good example for that theory. ” Neo said.

”No, Im missing too much information to make an exact conclusion, as far as I know the infection could just last longer with me and Im just already feeling the effects. I mean its not that I have much experience with the virus. What I do know is that most people turn within a few hours to minutes after being bitten or scratched. ” said Neo.

”I still remember one of Androlds maids, she was bitten on her leg and it took almost 3 hours for her to die and another 20 minutes for her to turn undead. Meanwhile, people I saw on the street got bitten in the face or neck and died in a few minutes and then quickly came back to life as undead. ”

”Mhm … If you assume that Im really an undead now, then about 1 hour should have passed from the infection to the death. The only question is how long was I dead until I rose again as an undead? ” Neo wondered.

Suddenly Neo remembered something.

”Oh yeah the half-eaten man had an inter-chip contact lens in his eyes, I should get those, theyll come in handy. ” said Neo.

Neo then exited the bathroom and entered the living room. There the half-eaten man lay on the ground with his face down. Neo went to the body and turned it over. Neo got used to the smell of corpses on the battlefield and didn even find it that bad. Neo took a closer look at the corpses eyes and removed what was left of the inter-chip contact lens from both eyes and took a closer look.

”Oh damn, one of them is completely broken. I can use it. Well, at least the other one survived. ” Neo said as he put the broken lens away. After that he went back to the bathroom and cleaned the contact lens.

…

After the contact lens was clean, he started it and placed it in his right eye. A short time later, an interface booted up and a robotic voice introduced itself.

”Hello Dear Customer I am your personal Ki. You are Using the New inter-chip contact lens R4 from RE Industry. We detected a connection error, only one of the contact lenses is currently used. Do you want to try to connect again or do you want to order a new one… ”

”Stop, no, I don want another contact lens, one is enough, however I would like you to tell me about all the features of the inter-chip contact lens R4. ” Neo said after interrupting the ki built into the chip.

”Of course, I would be delighted to introduce you to all the features of the R4. Firstly, the R4 are a special contact lens that has a screen and a simple U6 AI built inside. You can call up and operate an interface with a thought or word. In this interface you can watch the news from all over the world, stream movies and videos and make calls. There is also a simple chat function and you can create and edit notes. You can ask me the internal Ai for tasks that you want me to do. However, you have to know that more complicated tasks can only be completed with the appropriate processor, for example I can calculate simple probabilities and process complex to high mathematics, but not more. In addition, you have installed an addon with which you can measure your heart rate, lung activity and brain activity. What would you like to do? ” asked the AI ​​at the end of her explanation.

”Okay. First of all, I would like to know todays date. Ah and also what is your energy source and how much energy do you currently have? ” asked Neo.

”It is currently May 30, 2072, my energy is being passively solar charged and I am currently more than operational at 86%. ” said the Ai in its robotic voice.

Mhm… I was bitten on day 5 and today is May 30th, so I was dead for 2 days… So far this information doesn bring me much, I just lack too much information about other infected people. So based on the time of death and ones time until resurrecting one cannot tell the effects of the virus. Maybe I should do some experiments in the future to get concrete data. Well, not now. Neo thought to himself.

”Well, I should confirm my other hypothesis first. ” said Neo and switched off the interface.

After that, Neo went to the apartment front door and removed the chair and braced himself for battle with the baseball bat in his right hand, which is now blood red. He unlocks the door and opens it and behind the door is an undead. Neo grit his teeth and braced himself to kill the undead anytime he attacked him … and then … nothing. The undead doesn even look at Neo, instead he just stands at the entrance and does nothing else. He then paces back and forth in the hallway outside the apartment for a bit and thats it. Neo wanted to test his hypothesis that the undead don attack him, he concluded that from the last battle.

Nevertheless, Neo couldn believe his eyes. The undead does not attack him. He probably sees him as one of them and therefore sees no reason to attack him. Neo wanted to confirm his theory. He locked the apartment behind him and went into the hallway. He stood right behind the undead and said…

”…Hello, can you understand me? ”

The undead turned around but otherwise didn react to what Neo said. Neo then decided to try his luck and brought his arm right next to the undeads mouth… but again the undead didn respond. Neo then hit the undeads foot with the baseball bat and….again, no reaction.

After that, Neo couldn stop smiling.

”They
e not attacking me. That means I don have to fight for my survival … No, wait, it means I have to live as an undead for the rest of my life. Humans will hunt me, and when the government finds out about me, they will want to kill me at any cost and then they will examine me… F*ck… so you
e telling me that my enemy isn the apocalypse, its the world before that … humanity? ” Neo asked himself.

”So, I have to fight humanity … the same humanity that built mechs and combat suits and combat robots and could use giant battleships in space to destroy all life on earth? … Damn do I even stand a chance … If I was already destined to die, then why didn you let me die f*ck*** red ball. ” Neo cursed.

”Sigh ”

”Well, the only thing that matters now is that Im alive and as long as I get stronger, Ill survive. So, I have to find out if and how undead get stronger… hahahahaa ” Neo laughed

”I think its time for some experiments. ” said Neo smiling.
