Chapter 11

Captain Levi goes after clues in the bunker, while Ale tries to find out from the scale on the wall, when he delivers the rations to the skyscraper's paperwork room, and discovers who was responsible for the equipment corridor, because that way I could ask if anyone had been in the equipment room the day before the accident, as this would be the possible suspect.

When he checked, he discovered that it was Davi, a new boy in the Lambert squadron, nobody knew anything about him, except that he had been in the skyscraper for about two years, and that he appeared outside on a rainy day, but how found the skyscraper, and knew that there were people there, you don't know.

— That's suspicious, could it be that he's an infiltrator, and that he killed our friend to erase something he saw or heard? Well, I can't judge you hastily.

Ale, goes looking for Davi in his dorm, knocks on the door:

- Who is it? asks David.

— It's me, Ale, I came to bring the feed.

David opens the door:

"You can hand it to me then."

"David, how are things?"

- Everything is fine.

— You didn't just come to deliver the rations.

“I came, but I've had one question in my head all day.

"Oh yeah, and what's the question?" David says seriously.

— You don't think it's strange, Robert's death, he was the one who was super careful with his equipment, and always took it in for overhaul, I had overhauled his equipment two days before the accident, and everything was in order, I'm wondering , how could it have happened to lose control of the aero item, if everything was right.

“Perhaps he decided to open it up and do a new review on his own, and accidentally cut or broke the wire responsible for controlling the aero item. says David carelessly, wanting to cut the conversation short.

- Strange. Al says\, smiling.

- Why?

“Because I didn't tell you about any broken or cut wires, and especially that it was the controls for the aero item.

Davi widens his eyes, he had been discovered, Ivan continues:

— And the funniest thing is, Robert would never touch the equipment, because he was afraid of doing something wrong, and the night before the accident, you were the only one in that corridor. So it was you, or someone else who did this?

Davi starts to close the door, but Ale is faster and manages to avoid it:

— You don't know who I am, don't mess with me. says David.

— We really don't know who you are for that very reason, I imagine it was you, but at whose behest?

“I won't answer you anything, and you have nothing to prove.

— You're wrong, I recorded everything.

Davi draws his gun to try to kill Ale, but he is faster and manages to avoid being hit, removing David's gun:

— Time for you… — Davi takes a knife from his belt, and says before passing it on his own neck. — you won't take anything from me, but you'll regret it.

Ale tries to avoid it, but it's too late, Davi had cut the carotid artery, and he dies immediately. The only person who could say what happened, and at whose behest, died right there in front of him, but because Robert was attacked, he called security on the floor and said:

— I already found him dead, I don't know what happened.

The soldier makes a report on the radio, and says:

— It's better for you to get out of here, we'll inform the superiors about what happened, so that they give the order, to investigate, or file the case, and anything else we'll call you, to interrogate you.

“Damn it, my captain will kill me when he finds out. Ale murmurs to himself.

Meanwhile, Levi manages to leave without being noticed by the sentries, as he managed to be like a shadow, for being very agile, he goes to the bunker, using the glasses he had taken with Ivan before leaving, when he got there, he took some clues, photographed the mark of the sole of a shoe that he found on the floor, as there was blood everywhere, he couldn't tell if they were from the victims, he would ask Ivan to check, but he suspected it was from a military boot, he takes some hands that he finds outside of the bodies, those that are on the bodies he cuts the nails, because if one of the victims had fought with the aggressor, he would be able to find out, by traces of DNA on the nails, he throws a special powder, and turns on the ultra violet light and passes the brush in some places that probably the person who committed the murder may have touched, and discovers some fingerprints, takes the fingerprint of the hands that he wasn't going to take with him, and leaves that grotesque scene.

So Levi decides to go to the house that was to have been his love nest with his beloved, he enters silently, to take a moment, looking around, remembering the day of the zombie attack in Hapeville, he was there with his beloved, because they were seeing the house to buy it, he hid it that day in the basement of the house, after he was bitten, he managed to fight bravely with the zombies, without being bitten, he saw several people being bitten and after some time becoming a zombie, he stayed with Luna , tending to her wounds for a few months, sometimes going out for groceries.

Thank God she hadn't transformed, he didn't understand how, but if she did, he'd let her bite him, because he couldn't bear to see her transformed, and then he'd kill her, to protect her soul, and then he'd kill himself, they stayed hidden there for about eight months, until one day when going out looking for supplies, he found some soldiers who rescued them and took them to Atlanta, as she no longer had the scar from the bite, and had not transformed, they managed to go unnoticed.

One day Luna told him:

— Honey, I can develop a serum for this zombie attack, because this virus is on the loose is my fault, Mike after the time travel I did, he went to my laboratory and was messing with my research and ended up accidentally getting infected with the virus, because of a mouse that bit him, this mouse had the zeta virus number 131, which made him very sick, but he didn't say anything to me, on the contrary he just pushed me away, I told him that he looked sick before leaving for the trip to the Amazon, I said it could be the zeta virus, but I didn't suspect it was my own virus, he didn't want me to give him the vaccine I created, because he said he didn't have enough study time, we discussed it and he destroyed it the only sample I had threw it on the floor, and said it was no longer one of my lab mice. After that he disappeared, and when I heard the news about him it was when they found his diary, my laboratory area is isolated, but I believe that if I talk to his superiors they will listen to me.

— Luna, please, don't do that, I told you, we have to understand what's going on first, before anyone knows about your immunity, I'll have to leave for eight days on a mission when I come back I want to find you, so we can get married. Levi says lovingly.

And he leaves that day, he remembers that when he returned, he found out that his beloved had died, and that his body had been incinerated, they said he had turned into a zombie, Levi almost went crazy, broke everything in his dorm, that's when they took him away from Atlanta and they sent him to the skyscraper, keep an eye on some people there and if they found someone suspicious that could somehow harm the elite, or found a geneticist, it was to hand it over to them, because it was the fault of a clandestine geneticist that virus was loose, they said, that's when he met General Lamér...

— Well, I can't stay here, trapped in my thoughts, I need to see if what Judy did worked.

Elle removes the things that Judy had put to hide the basement, opens it, and goes down with her pistol in her hand, when she sees the zombie, she is surprised,

He goes back to close the cellar door, and turns on the light, and checks that the zombie was asleep, and his skin was regenerating, looking more like human skin, and looking less scary, is it that Judy had managed to reverse the virus, when approaching to try to see the face of the zombie it turns and bites him.

He howls in pain, and shoots the zombie in the head, then seeing that he had been bitten makes a tourniquet, just in case if he managed to delay the passage of blood to the rest of the body, he would have a chance to try one last thing, that his beloved Luna had wanted to do it before and wouldn't let it, would do it, to try to hold on as long as possible, and protect her beloved now.

"Damn it, I'll have to get back, ASAP," says Levi, pounding on the wall,

When he hears the noise of something metallic falling to the ground, he bends down to pick it up, there was Luna's nameplate, he remembers at that moment how he met her, it was when he went to her college, right at the beginning of the zombie pandemic, they were taking people to a safe area, and when she saw her, she fell in love at first sight, she was brave, and when she saw that some people were showing strange symptoms, she gathered everyone around her who was still healthy, and took them safely to the college terrace, and with the other students barred the door so the zombies wouldn't get them, she was a born leader.

That day he was driving the rescue helicopter, and when he went down to rescue, it was Luna who organized the order of the students who would go, because there were three trips to rescue everyone, and she bravely stayed to be rescued on the last trip, risking the zombies. manage to break the barricade and be killed.

But Luna was like that, always putting others before herself, when he took her to the base, she asked him to train her, so that she could be a soldier like him, and could be of some help, or at least so that she could defend herself, and he trained her in hand-to-hand combat, and gave her some shooting lessons, and she ended up becoming a cadet, and the two of them were getting married, and then the area that used to be safe was invaded by somehow by the zombies, and they stay in the basement, and when they were rescued, she found her nameplate missing, which she said she had lost when they were there, but he hadn't noticed that there was a key, he removes the key from her nameplate and put it on yours, then put its little plaque on your boots, you couldn't risk that Luna from the past saw that little plaque, take the evidence you had obtained and take it with you.

He leaves the house and turns on his aero item with the greatest possible force, and arrives like a jet, manages to enter the skyscraper without being seen, and goes to his dorm sneaking in the darkness, when he arrives he knocks on the door, the way had agreed with Judy, she answers immediately, she and Luna were waiting for Levi, anxious, when they opened the door he immediately entered and closed it, saying:

"Judy, you didn't want a fresh guinea pig?"

"Did you bring a little animal?"

" No, I'll be the guinea pig." he says, lifting the sleeve of his overcoat.

- What!? You've been bitten. - says Luna desperately\, and almost crying.

— Shhhh... speak lower, someone might hear — says Levi, smiling and breaking out in a cold sweat.

“But Captain…” says Judy, anguished.

“Tell me you have a sample of what you applied to the zombie here.

— Sir, I don't, but Luna is here, I can go to my dorm quickly, get a syringe, take a blood sample and immediately apply it.

— Then go… What are you waiting for?

Judy runs as fast as she can to her dorm, grabs a syringe, and runs back.

Meanwhile, Levi removes his necklace with the identification plate and puts it around Luna's neck, soon after he takes out his pistol and hands it to her:

"Here, Luna, you know how to shoot, correct?"

- I know\, but...

— Luna you, you will shoot me in the head, if you see that I'm changing, please, I don't want to attack you, so have mercy on my soul, if I happen to change, before Judy returns.

Levi sweat cold, trying to resist the transformation, at this moment the doctor arrives:

" Thank God, it hasn't turned yet." says Judy breathlessly as she enters the apartment, then turns to Luna. — Come and sit down, and try to stay calm, so your veins don't disappear.

"Get it out of the vein in my hand is faster."

"But it might hurt you." says Judy.

— No, it matters, as long as you get what you need, I can even cut myself for it, and let's not waste time.

Luna sits down in an armchair, ties her own elastic band to Luna's arm and quickly draws 20 ml of blood from the vein in her hand, then reaches Levi and applies it to the arm where he had been bitten:

"Let's hope it works out." says Judy, worried.

— They handcuff me in the bathroom, if I change, one of the two ends my suffering.

“Okay Levi, I'll do that if necessary. says Judy.

¬— Luna go rest, Judy will stay with me now, and take care of everything.

- I am not…

- It's an order.

“Levi, I'll stay awake with you, I can't let you shift, and get killed.

“Soldier, I won't let you stay awake if I change and Judy needs to kill me, I don't want you to see that, and if it happens to me, follow orders from her and the others. This could be my last order, will you disobey me? says Levi in a deep voice.

“Damn Levi. —she goes into her room, but she can't sleep all night.

Meanwhile, Judy handcuffs him to a bar next to the toilet. And asks him:

“My zombie subject, as it were.

“I was bitten by it, but it looks like it had made some progress.

- As? If she bit you and you're in danger of shifting\, then it didn't work?

— No, apparently it didn't work 100%, but I wanted to see Luna one last time before I die.

"Shut up, you won't die."

“We don't know if it will work.

"It will work, it has to work, I would be lost without your orders Captain."

- Let's pray it works

"Captain, is Luna your bride?"

— Yes, she is the age she was when I met her, but don't let her know, when you send her back in time, remove the little plaque from her so as not to cause a paradigm because of that object, because, we don't know if the same object can exist twice in the same time, because it can happen that she goes and the portal remains open on the side where she stops, and tries to find her capsule before sending her back safely, does that for me.

— How can it happen that the object that goes with her merges or replaces, with the object already existing in the time space that they are when they meet.

— Perhaps, these are theories, I hope yours is right. But still, do what I'm asking you, because they need the vaccine in that capsule if it's going to cure the zombie virus.

— All right captain, I'll do what you ask me if something happens to you, but I believe you'll do it personally, now rest easy, I'll be in the room, but with an attentive ear.

'One more thing, ask Ivan to come get the evidence so you can investigate and see what he can find out about the murders.'

"Yes sir, now try to rest."

Levi ends up falling asleep. While Judy calls Ivan on the radio, and he looks for the evidence, which Levi had taken, to verify, and takes them to his laboratory.
