Truly Madly Deeply Zombie [Completed]

Chapter 55 - Microbots

POV Sienna

Time: 5:00 PM (Friday)

Herschel opened a case and I saw a military laptop with hardshell cover. He turned it on and he inserted a USB flash drive from his pocket. It contains several video files.

This is what he wants to show me? Bakit na naman ba ako nag-assume na iba yung ipapakita niya sa akin? Ang bastos ko mag-isip!

"Matagal ko na gusto ipakita sa iyo pero dinedma mo ako. I want you to watch this and let me know what you think," sabi ni Herschel sabay bigay sa akin ng laptop.

The video looks like it was taken by someone who is walking, but it seems that the camera is a bit higher than usual. Sigurado ako na ang feeds na nakikita ko ngayon ay galing sa isang flying object, probably sa isang drone. Herschel's parents are working in RAD Team and they are in charge of developing state-of-the-art military toys.

"Drone ba ang kumuha nito? How small?" tanong ko nang pumasok ang camera sa elevator pero mukhang di napapansin ng mga tao na nasa elevator.

"Micro-robotics, Sienna. But this one is larger, less than three centimeters."

"Wow, large na yan ah?"

Bumaba na ang lahat ng nasa elevator at ang huling tao ay bumaba sa twenty second floor. Naglakad ito papunta sa isang room sa dulo ng corridor with advanced security feature. Dumaan ito sa palm print biometrics and retinal scanner.

Akala ko may something mysterious na room na ito, only to find out that it is just another elevator. The subject pressed the number twenty three button on the elevator and it seems that there's only one number.

"Sino ang sinusundan mo? Do you know this person?" tanong ko sa kanya habang pababa ng elevator ang subject.

"My dad, but you won't see his face dahil naka position ang microbot sa bandang ulo niya."

"You're stalking your dad?"

"Do you want to call him dad too?" sabi niya while gently brushing my cheeks with his fingers.

"Herschel, I'm not kidding," seryoso kong sabi sa kanya.

Kio already told me about the legendary Floor 23 of Aquinas Island. Only the high ranking officials know its existence and location. Di nakapagtataka na nandito ang daddy ni Herschel dahil siya ang head ng RAD Team.

"Just watch, Sienna, or would you like me to turn it off and we can do something else?"

"Shut up! Something else ka dyan! You have my full attention because of this video."

Herschel's dad opened one door with another set of security features and my eyes widened when I saw two men inside a glowing water tank. They look petrified, probably the wonders of Cryogenics. It seems like Herschel's dad is experimenting with humans.

"Herschel, are they alive?"

"They are dead but once their bodies became exposed to average heat, their brain will melt and their body will disintegrate in no time."
