Hope of the Dying World

CHAPTER 106 - THE BODY SUIT

Heavy rain fell while Ferran was on his way to save Blair. He struggled a bit because he couldn't clearly see the road. Ferran looked at his wristwatch before stepping on the gas to speed up.

"Ugh!" He almost got into an accident if he hadn't stepped on the break immediately. His chest tightened and his breathing became heavy.

'Alfarez! Alfarez!' Real Ferran's voice echoed inside his head.

His heart pounded harder than the first one, as if his consciousness would leave him. Regardless of the frigidness of the atmosphere due to the rain, his body was heating up and beads of sweat were forming on his forehead and neck.

"H-Hah... Hah..." Ferran's head dropped on the steering wheel and his sight became blurry.

Darkness filled the surrounding and he woke up in a void.

***

"It's been a while... Timotheus Alfarez." The voice echoed everywhere.

'That voice... That voice!' He opened his eyes but he saw nothing but darkness. 'I'm here again... Does it mean...' He held his head when he felt a sudden pain.

"What's happening? Why... Why am I here again? Damn... Ugh!" The pain he was feeling was like a bomb that would explode at any moment then after a second it faded.

"Three hours..." The voice echoed again.

"T-Three hours? Of what?" He was puzzled while helping himself to stand up.

"Three hours left to change the world... Until midnight Timotheus Alfarez, until midnight."

"W-Wait... What? This is so sudden. I can't—" He was cut off.

"Save it or lose it... it's up to you."

***

Phone's ringing...

"F*ck..." Ferran still felt the pain in his head after he woke up inside the car. He must proceed to the plan or else, everything will be put to waste. He looked at his phone and Xol's calling.

"Xol..."

"Sir, is everything alright? How's Blair?"

"I'm on my way to save her. How about the plan?"

"We just opened the basement, sir."

"Do you need backups? I will send—"

"No, no need. Take care of everything. Protect them... at all costs." Ferran firmly ordered because the organization was after their plan. They might attack at any time.

There was a moment of silence before Xol replied.

"We... will wait for you here."

The call ended and he looked at the time, it's exactly nine in the evening.

'Damn... I only have three hours... We only have that little time to accomplish everything.' He sighed with the thought.

He arrived at a familiar abandoned building. It's the drug den full of enormous rusty tanks.

"Sanchez," Ferran called in a small voice. He creased his forehead when he saw him wearing a full body suit that doctors wore to protect them from the virus. "Why are you wearing that?"

"Why? For protection, of course. Here, wear it." Sanchez offered a new and sealed body suit but Ferran just stared at it. At the end, he sighed and just wore the damn body suit.

"By the way, when I was tailing them here, someone I couldn't recognize got out of the car where Blair was. He's suspicious but I ignored it and focused on Blair." Sanchez put the reserved guns in his pocket while Ferran's still busy with the body suit.
