In the near future, a scientist accidentally creates a zombie plague that causes individuals to lose their rational thinking and becomes mindless creatures without compassion and acting on their impulsive violence. The Stupidity Virus first made it,s appear during the governmental shut down when Congressman and women begin to kill each other instead of usual bickering among themselves. A few escape the slaughter by the Secret Service and they felt compelled to spread the plague among the general population. Washington DC becomes a city empty of humans with only the infected zombies with little or no humanity left except for relatively rare cases of self-aware intelligence.
Individuals exhibiting most aggressive personality traits show the severe forms of the stupidity plague. People on the other hand who are meek and mild-mannered by nature possess immunity, or less affected by a virus, s impact the brain and thinking process of an individual. With a month the stupidity virus spread globally destroy the threads of society alongside the web of life
Dr. Renee Dixonson enters her biological lab sensing the anxiety in her assistants. She demonstrated a classy and elegant sense of style plus her black short wavy hair gives attract the attention of a younger male working at Biological Lab especially Zachary.
“Dr. Dixonson,” We are shorthand this week, because, three of our assistant had to call in sick,” said Gabriel with a worried look on his face.
“Gabriel,” Did you observe any strange and increasing violent, or aggressive behavior of Timothy or Zachary? ” said Dr.Dixonson with a concerned expression. I saw a bite mark on Zachary,s neck that alarms me, because, it looks he was bitten by a human infected with rabies.”
“Rabies !”Are you serious? Dr.Dixonson. The disease of rabies was eradicated less than a century ago.” There has to be a better explanation for the bite mark you had seen.”
“Gabriel, maybe, it is a new strand of rabies virus that scientist be genetically engineered or developed from a hybrid deadly form of the flu.
“Why would a scientist be stupid enough to resurrect and developed one of the deadly viruses which are virtually 100 percent fatal unless the person a psycho desiring to depopulation Planet Earth for personal power and dominion?
“Probably environmental extremist hire the biological scientist for their own purpose such as creating their version of utopia.”I heard rumors about how the plague began.
“Zachary is incapable of violence, he about meek as a little kitten. I saw no evidence of any unusual, or atypical demeanor coming from him.” I only noticed Zachary seem less energetic and talkative than usual.”
“I see Gabriel, plus, I am aware of Zachary,s gentle nature, however, there was a subtle change in his personality, that why I asked you about him.”
“Zachary starts becoming less social when the newspaper and local broadcaster broke the news about a plague that causes people to behave as mindless and violent zombies.,” said Gabriel with a straight face.
Dr.Dixonson glance at Gabriel disbelieving his story.,” “Really, zombies did not exist “.You are imagining what you hear which a sign of schizophrenia.”
Gabriel gives Dr.Dixonson a look that caught her off – guard.
He glares at her with intensity unsure about how to respond to her.Dr.Dixonson expresses the emotion of surprised at Gabriel,s expressiveness. They are unaware of a group of zombified predators on the hunt for prey among them. Gabriel provided Dr.Dixonson an explanation of the zombifited being from personal experience.
“I witnessed the effects of mindless creatures during the first wave of the virus,I was working in my college biological lab performing the test on an deveopled vaccine for newly discovered virus. “I heard panic screaming from one of my classmates who usually calm,so,I know something was wrong then I grab my knife.
Outside the laboratory, the hungry creatures still possessing some of a human intellect instantly plot to capture their prey to satisfy their desire for blood. They exhibit predatory insights comparable to a sociopathic, or psychopathic person plus obtain unusual high-level of dark side self-awareness capable of reason untypical for their kind. The new zombie species explores ways to gain access to their human prey, because, they discover it guard by a magnetic electric fence that surrounds the lab building that also includes highly trained canines trained to kill zombified beings. Unfortunately, for the creatures, the canines pick_ up the thinking zombie,s scent and start to attack the intruder and telepathically sent a signal of danger to their mistress Dr.Dixonson.
Humans who adopted dogs for security purpose gain access to their computerized digital DNA that modifes to their owner’s brain waves without genetic alteration. Some people such as Dr.Renee Dixonson are sensitive to the transfer of the technological biological material triggers unusual mental abilities such the ability telepathic communication with animals. Most people did not possess the Dr.Renee Dixonson’ s rare talent.
Dr.Dixonson warned by canines conducted a test of her technological advance robotic laser to neutralize the outside threat hoping it will buy her and student assistant Gabriel time to escape the lab. She sent an security robot through window at safe distance from the zombies. It return back that some of the creatures died from weapon , however , the robot incapacitated few of them.
“We did not have much left, so , we must leave the laboratory quickly “. Gabriel pack up medical/ laboratory equipment, clothing, food , and water.”said Dr. Dixonson. Gabriel walked to supply area beside the lab table and grab the essential items for their trip.
“Dr. Dixonson, we can’t leave Timothy ,or Zachary behind” said Gabriel ”
“Do not worry , we will to go Timothy ,s and Zachary,s house before we leave the city. ” said Dr.Dixonson. Zachary lives only couple blocks from the college.
‘I will call Timothy and inform him we leaving”.”He lives in Apartment B in Section 1 housing complex.
Timothy meanwhile at his home organized his bug- out bag and a full pandemic ready first aid kit to it. Timothy earlier barricade his front and back door to his apartment because, he saw the rabid humans nearby. He also grab weapons a crossbow with arrows silencers, Winchester gun, pistols and ammunition.
Gabriel called Timothy after ending his conversion with Dr.Dixonson. He heard the ring tone on the other end. Timothy recognized the number prompting him to answer it.
“Hello, Gabriel,?” What up?”
“The zombies attacked the lab with thought.”They use strategy by plotting to capture their prey”. “They still capable of extreme violence.”
Gabriel That unbelievable,”” Did you or Dr.Dixonson get bit by them.'””
“No, Luckily, the security robot killed most of zombies.Dr.Dixonson,s canines offered an early warning system.”
Zachary used his silver antibiotic / anti-cream on his zombie bite that healed it. He still felt lethargic, however, his symptoms of Stupidity Virus did not get progressive worst than the average infected.He still remains human and did not have the violent urge to attack others. Zachary show any mild signs of The Stupidity Virus developed taste for nearly raw meat.
