CHAPTER 2: GENOMORPHS

When I raise my head I see that the place was filled with dust and some debris had fallen from the ceiling, it seems that it wasn't a lie that this place was going to fall to pieces, the guy from a moment ago I thought he went back to hide, but... as the amount of dust in the room went down, I could take a better look, part of me was covered with blood, although it wasn't mine, it was... his blood was on my hands, this wasn't one of my best days, shit.

This looks like something out of a horror movie, his body was under the debris that fell from the ceiling, his head crushed by big debris, just seeing it makes me want to vomit, I don't know what to do, now how am I going to get out... and what was the last thing I wanted to tell myself before the roar, shit, this is getting worse and worse the door is different than I thought, it asks for a code to enter or some kind of access card.

I am thankful that the room is not so big, that makes it easier when looking for a paper with a code or at least the card, although I looked everywhere and there is still nothing... shit how I didn't think, that man had a robe, he must have some kind of card, and more if he was hiding here, he must have entered to leave when everything was calm.

Although now it is evident that he didn't make it, maybe partly because of me, now is my chance to get out, although it still disgusts me to see the inert body of someone and even more if his head is in pieces, he is the only hope I have left, but first I have to remove the debris from his body to find the pockets of the robe or the pants.

the only thing he had with him was his ID card and his wallet, God, it makes me want to vomit, I'm in front of a decapitated body looking for a key to get out while I'm covered in his blood, besides constant noise and the screams are getting more and more intense it's like I have them right inside my head, plus I'm completely naked it's getting colder and colder....

Now that I think about it I guess his pants will be useful, the rest of the clothes are full of blood, it's the only thing I can rescue, it only remains to check if with this card I can open the door, although now observing well the place they have many things that I had never seen before, this technology does not look like anything I had seen before, what are they doing in this place, When I checked the desk drawer there were some documents, although I did not read them I kept some in my pants, in its cover was written CADMUS, and the man's robe in the same way, had the same writing, as well as his ID card, now I know or I get the idea that this place is called CADMUS, I never heard such a name before in my country.

It's time to get out of here, this place is falling apart because of what that scientist shouted, I just have to open the door and look for the nearest exit, I'll put the card in the door panel, and everything will be fine, it's time.

The light on the panel turned red, but because the door doesn't open?

“PLEASE ENTER YOUR FINGERPRINT TO OPEN THE DOOR.”-the panel spoke with a robotic woman's voice

I don't have the strength to carry the body of that man to the door, I only have one option, grab a piece of glass, and remove his finger, although it is disgusting just thinking about it is the only option I have, to avoid cutting myself I put a piece of cloth where I'm holding, already cut I only have to put it in the fingerprint reader and I think I'm done.

The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

“ACCESS ENABLED DOCTOR JAIME WALKER”.- said the robotic voice

this gives access to the doors, which will be very useful, even if he has to carry his finger all the time. A part of him at least if he gets out of this place, it will be better to keep the card in my pocket, as safe as possible in case I come across any extra doors, Now yes to look for answers outside this room.

“ARGH!!!!” - SHIT, MY EARS, WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON, MY WHOLE BODY IS SHAKING I FEEL LIKE I'M LOSING MY BALANCE AGAIN, I'M GETTING DAZED BY ALL THE NOISE, MY HEAD HURTS, MY SENSES ARE DISORIENTED, I WANT IT TO STOP, I NEED TO GET OUT NOW, IT HURTS, MY EARS ARE GOING TO EXPLODE, THE ALARMS WON'T STOP, THE SCREAMS OF THE PEOPLE NOW I HEAR THEM LOUDER, I NEED TO GET OUT, FAST, I HAVE TO LOOK AROUND ME, THERE MUST BE SOME SIGN OF EXIT, SHIT I SEE EVERYTHING BLURRY, I CAN'T EVEN THINK WELL, THIS NOISE IS UNBEARABLE, THE STEPS OF THE PEOPLE RUNNING ARE GETTING LOUDER AND LOUDER... THAT'S IT...

PEOPLE, I HEAR FOOTSTEPS, NO...... COME ON CONCENTRATE MORE, I HAVE TO, I HAVE TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THEM. They... they're running, yes, they're running.

I must try to follow them, they must be trying to escape from this place. It's hard for me to walk, my senses still don't respond well, and the noise doesn't stop, my main support is the walls, it's shaking too, but at least now it's not so loud, the noise is diminishing, I guess, because I focus on the scientist's steps, if I keep on like this I'll manage to escape.

As I walk I recover strength, although I still hold on to the walls to avoid falling and focus on the road, now I can see more, I see the scientists running, some pass by my side and ignore me, but something is not right, why are there a few that go in the opposite direction, it's weird...

Not even two seconds passed and they all changed direction and their screams jumped, it was terrifying, there was something there, something huge, they are steps were heard much louder than the scientists' screams, with more power, more weight, it could be an animal, if so I am not in a normal hospital or laboratory, I only hear how the choking screams of the people he trapped fade away as his bones break and his flesh peels away from his body, he must have escaped some too dangerous animal, a dangerous experiment that caused all this commotion, but this one is very big, it almost seems that his steps were of an elephant.

Or so I wanted to convince myself until I saw for an instant half of a body flying out in front of me, and the head of the beast finally showed itself, it was not an elephant, it was something much worse, something I had never seen before.

Its head looked like that of a reptile and its teeth are like those of a shark, its size is almost equivalent to that of an elephant and it has a spiked tail. I have to hide before it looks at me, luckily there is a door ahead, I have to take advantage of that it is distracted by the scientists, my senses are still not recovered and the fact of seeing that creature made them worse, my hands shake and I feel them frozen, I guess the only thing that keeps me sane and standing is my purpose of getting out of here to have answers of all this.

I manage to get into the room, it doesn't have much difference from where I was at the beginning, with the only difference that, in this one instead of a capsule, there is a cage, it's not of great size, it almost seems just the right size for a pet, and it doesn't seem to be open, I only hear a small squeak and a quickened breathing accompanied by a racing heart.

I don't know why, but I have a feeling that it needs help whatever it is in there, I will try to approach it slowly, I don't want to take the risk of it being a beast like the one outside the room.

His squeak changed just as I took my first step, he was now growling and seemed to have taken a defensive stance he looked like a dog, scared and overwhelmed too by all this commotion.

“I don't want to hurt you, I just want to help you, trust me.”

I didn't know what to do to open it, there was no key to help me move the bars, but there was a lever, I tried to force them a little, even just enough to get out, but something in me told me I won't be able to do it, I don't feel strong enough and my hands won't stop shaking, but I will try, I will focus on generating as much force as possible in my current state if I manage to separate the bars a little, the dog will be able to get out.

The dog has stopped growling, I guess it has understood that I didn't try to hurt it. Shit, it's complicated, but I notice how the bars give way, there is enough space for the dog to get out, and the dog jumps out of the cage, I fall to the ground with fright, his structure changes and he gets up quickly, he seems bigger than I saw a moment ago, his gaze is directed towards me, I don't feel any bad intention from him towards me, on the contrary, his eyes are full of decision and gratitude, he gets closer and closer to me and starts drooling on my face, I gently pull him back, he is a white dog, he looks quite healthy, although he is a little thin at least he looks more energetic than me.
