=Objective No 6 - Survive for 24 hours=

Nick looked at the newest objective, he laughed it off as something irrelevant, but then he remembered that he should be more serious.

"Took his sweet time, I suppose it's time to go find out what the others are doing"

Nick said as he flipped his bed over and underneath was a stash of guns, in these few days that passed he did some shopping of his own, while posing as a regular person.

Now it was time to make sure that he would survive, he had already gathered enough food for at least a week and his appartment was simply vandalized by himself as he reinforced it with wood and steel, ready to fight anything that might try to kill him in these 24 hours.

Jason's group were mostly making rounds between the hotel and the hospital, living the good life, for these past two days, when Jason and Hera saw the message they were with their new lovers. Whom were with them only for their money, but they didn't care, because money you didn't earn yourself don't hold the same value as money you worked hard for.

Jason was shocked when he woke up in the middle of the night, next to two beauties, looking at the next objective. He was so afraid he could piss himself, surviving for 24 hours, if any normal person was told to do so, they would probably be a bit doubtful and yet alert, he however had seen what the system could do. He begun to panic, cursing in the middle of the night as he took his phone to call the others to meet.

Hera didn't answer the phone herself, the one to answer was her partner for the night, he seemed rather irritated that a man called in the middle of the night.

-Who are you! What do you want

-Give me that idiot, tell her that the next mission has begun, if she still wants to live we'll gather at the hospital, she knows which

-Who are you? what are you to Hera?

Before the man could understand what was going on, Jason had hung up and begun calling Jonas at the hospital, it was the best hospital in the city. Jonas was at first irritated to be woken up in the middle of the night in his personal suite, problem was that all his irritation disappeared once the saw the message for the next mission. Once he lifted the phone he cried tears of happiness to hear Jason's voice, it was a single message to tell him that he was coming over.

George was woken up in the middle of the night by Xiao, whom was terrified by seeing the new message. It was insane to even think that their nightmare wasn't over yet, how many more objectives would there be, did they really have to live all their life doing these survival missions like Nick had said?

-Lets go find Chrysa, I remember she's in room 812

-Didn't you hear?

-Hear what?

-Chrysa is no more, she overdosed yesterday

-What!

Xiao was shocked to learn that Chrysa had died, it came as a shock to her, George was also a bit apologetic for not having told her sooner, but he was about to tell her tomorrow, anyway even he just learned it not too long ago.

-What should we do now?

-What else can we do, all we can do is survive

-Can't we find Nick or the others?

-Do you think they will help?

-Jason and the others might

-You're giving them too much credit, I think what we have to do is find some weapons and a place to hide

-But if we're alone, then the zombies...

-There are no zombies, the Hive was never breached and the Major city infected is too far away, what we should be more afraid of are people

-Are you sure?

-Of course I am!

George knew full well of Resident Evil's plot and knew that they were safe, they had even moved cities in order to be further away from the city selected by Chris and the others, something that Jason and Nick hadn't done.

George and Xiao gathered their stuff and begun to prepare, inside were only the most necessary things, a change of clothes and some basic self defence items like a stun gun, pepper spray, a katana, a firefighter axe and anything else George could get his hands on, even a pistol without ammo unfortunately.

They however didn't know what to do, since the mission appeared in the middle of the night, did they have to leave in the darkness of the night or would it be best to fortify their room or something. Who was the enemy they had to survive from, would it really be zombies?

Time passed and it was really unusual, there was no danger at all, even as they waited and time passed, when the morning arrived, they looked outside the window and the city was as lively as before.

Suddenly someone begun banging on their door, it was insane, George went for the bag and took out the katana, while Xiao held the empty gun like a talisman, thinking that it could scare whatever creature was at the other side of the door.

It was then that Alice broke their door down, as she barged in uninvited, not caring at all about their privacy or even asking them to open the door like normal people would.

George was holding his katana, while Xiao was holding the empty gun, pointing at the entrance and Alice seeing them begun to laugh.

"You do know that's a fake gun and did you even sharpen that blade, I doubt it can even cut a paper!"

George had really thought of sharpening it, he even bought a wetstone, problem was there was so much to do that he hadn't done it yet, as for the gun he did have some suspitions, but he hadn't held a gun once during this mission, thus he could really tell. To his eyes it looked rather legit and real, he could even put in and out the magazine and the trigger seemed to work just fine.

"Why what's the problem with the gun?"

George asked confused, he really wanted to know more about guns now.

"The muzzle's blocked, even if you had bullets in, it would probably explode in your hand once you pulled the trigger"

Alice said as she put her own gun away and pulled out a phone from her pocket.

"Tell us what the next mission is!"

The Red Empress appeared in the phone's screen, revealing their visit's target. They expected that Chris would just disappear and return to normal as Nick had said, but unexpectantly there was another mission or so they thought as the Red Empress heard Jason's talks over the phone, why they went for George insted of Jason whom was closer, it was because of agents, Jason was under watch by the secret agencies, while George and Xiao were dropped after George spilled all the info he had, which caused the Secret Agencies to focus on Chris and Nick.

They didn't even need to monitor them, since their hotel had cameras to do the job for them, the same went for the Red Empress, whom could easily find them, while Jason and Hera only rented rooms for the night, jumping to the closest hotel, whichever their date of the day prefered.

"The mission is to survive for 24 hours"

If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

George explained, causing Alice to audibly curse and feel remorse, there was no way for Chris to survive 24 hours, his state was that of a person that was turning into a zombie, the only reason he was still alive was because they were giving him doses of the virus and the cure, once they were out of the drug, he would most probably turn into some sort of undead monster.

"How long do we have?"

Alice asked the Empress in the phone as she recollected herself really quickly.

"Unless the virus mutates, we have half a day at most"

The Empress said making Alice's face become even more concerned as she continued to ask questions about producing more of it and coordinates for the next mission.

As she was about to leave, George asked somewhat confused.

-What about us?

-You go buy yourselves a mobile phone, it would save me the trouble of breaking your door down

-But how will we survive?

-Survive what?

-The monsters that will be coming after us! You have to help us!

-What monsters?

Alice was dumpstruck, she didn't understand them at all, but was rather curious and looked at the Red Empress for confirmation of their words.

"There's a problem, something's not right"

The Red Empress suddenly became livid and shouted.

"Return to the Helicopter, Quickly! we have to get out of here!"

"What's the matter, you two follow me! is it agents?"

Alice made her way up to the roof, with the two following behind, completely forgetting their luggage and weapons behind in the panic, stil holding the useless gun and katana.

"Don't ask Questions! go back quickly!"

Red Empress sounded really distressed, there was a zipline leading towards the roof on which the helicopter was, they could hear gunshots from the direction of the helicopter.

Alice went in first guns blazing as at the rooftop lay two Licker corpses, it was insane to even think about it. On their chests there were two weird machines with a weird red liquid inside, it was insane to even think that these creatures were being controlled by someone or sent to kill them.

-What're these things?

-They're P30 injectors, a projenitor of the T-Virus that enchances physical performance in humans, but impends free will

-So it's a mind controlling drug?

-Not exactly, but it's been used in that way, its original purp...

-I don't want to know, where did these things come from?

Alice asked as she send back the zipline handle and waited for George and Xiao to come down.

To her shock however the two jumped on the handle together, the line wouldn't hold them both, she saw Xiao jump first, while George used his blant sword as a handle, it was insane as a Licker clawed at his back as he jumped, if he was just a bit late, he would have probably died.

"Why didn't you tell me there were more of them!"

Alice shouted distressed.

"My primary objective is for Chris to survive, if I told you, you might not make it in time"

The Empress said, causing Alice to become even more angry.

"Rain! We need a cure shot for one!"

Alice shouted, the red Empress objected, saying that it would shorten Chris' life, but Alice didn't care. If it wasn't for the Empress hiding information from her, they wouldn't have to do this in the first place.

George and Xiao were appaled when they enterd the helicopter, Chris was strapped on a bed, looking similar to a zombie, they could see him spasm from time to time, trying to get off the bed. Was he even alive?

"Why is a zombie here!"

Xiao shouted, she wanted to scream, but she had already lost her voice when the Lickers attacked them. George on the other side put 2+2 together and didn't even ask, he could tell that this probably was Chris, the problem was that he was probably already dead. Zombies couldn't be turned back into humans in the Resident Evil world, thus he was as good as dead.

Before however he could state his views on the matter, the Lickers were already there, there were at least 4 of them, the Helicopter flew away only after Alice collected the red vials at the chests of the two dead Lickers, while killing another one of them as the heli was about to take off.

"Why did you have me collect these things"

Alice asked the Empress, it was a simple question, but the answer was some scientific bullshit that nobody in the group understood.

"So what do we do now?"

George asked, confused, hungry and distressed.

"It's simple, we are going to get more of this"

Alice said as she pointed towards the cure canister, which was now empty.

The dossage needed to cure a person was double that needed to keep Chris "alive", the main problem was whether Chris could be called "alive" in this state. They could tell he had some basic intelligence or at least that's what the Empress implied, but the only proof they had is that he didn't try to bite them and he still required water and food.

Other than that he looked horrible, his skin looked as if it was peeling off and his muscles underneath were mutating at a visible rate, if they continued like that, maybe they would enter into Project Nemesis grounds.

George was shocked as he saw the scarabs like machinery that should only be appearing in later movies and games of the series. He felt as if they were in deep trouble if stuff from the later series begun to appear suddenly, it was insane to even think that they could survive.

While they were flying way Jason and Jonas were at the hospital, it was a rather large private room where Jonas stayed due to his leg injury, he was told he would need an operation, but it was scheduled at the end of the week, 3 days later and even that because they payed something extra to speed up things.

Jason put Jonas on a wheelchair and told the medical stuff that they were going for a walk, the medical stuff asked them if they were alright, but only got a smile and a tip as a response, more like a bribe to keep their mouths shut if you asked them about it.

It wasn't long before their worst fears came to reality, A monster unlike anything they had seen before, its grotesque face turned from around the corridor and it begun chasing them.

They fled in despair as the Licker was rampaging through the facility, destroying anything in its path, injuring and killing people that were unfortunate enough to be in its path.

Jason rolled the wheelchair like a maniac until they reached the Elevator, hopefully it was still where he had left it, the doors opened and for a few moments they felt as if they were just waiting for their deaths. When the elevator's doors closed, they felt safe for just a second, until a huge crashing shound almost deformed them.

The creature had charged at them, not even caring about stoping as it hit the now closed doors, the stupid thing probably didn't understand that the doors would close shortly, thus causing it to bump into the now closed doors.

The two were now safely going down the floors as the monster had lost their tracks, causing a rampage at the top floor, where the rich and wealthy patients were supposed to be resting.

"What was that?"

Jonas asked really shocked, up until now they hadn't even seen a zombie and they were immediately thrown into the deep with this monstrosity.

"How should I know, ask George when we see him after this mission"

Jason said, trying to comfort Jonas, but more than him he tried to assure himself that they would survive this.

Hera was scared Shitless as she was woken up by gunshots in her room, she fell off the bed completely naked and hid underneath. She could see her "Boyfriend" shooting at what seemed like metal spears stabing through the entrance door.

"What's going on?"

She asked, but was immediately greeted by the system, while she was asleep the mission was updated. What she was most shocked however is how calmly her new boyfriend handled this situation. Before long she heard gunshots from outside and shortly after the monster lay dead on the ground, her boyfriend turned towards her and before she knew it, he handcuffed her, put the bedsheets all over her and said.

"You're under arrest, you have the right to remain silent, anything you say can be used against you or so I would have loved to say, but you're now under the custodity of the CIA, I hope that you will cooperate"

Hera was dumpstruck, even more so because he didn't even give her time to dress, she was butt naked and before long armed soldiers came inside and escorted them all out. This was the special Anti-terrorism unit and they were deployed to deal with the monster and secure all evidence of its existence would remain hidden.

A similar scene was seen in the Medical Center, but Jonas and Jason were already out of the building when the troops arrived. His monitor, one of the two girls he had just slept with was enraged when she discovered that he was no longer in bed with her and some whore he picked up somewhere.

She immediately begun to track his cellphone, but found out that it was untraceable, it was a total mess. She phoned her coworkers and learned that he had left 8 hours ago, in the middle of the night and that his traces were lost after he left the medical center with one of his fellow survivors. She could only curse, before she went to take a bath and get ready for a really long day.

Nick was probably the most prepared for something like this, his appartment was like a maze, with battlements and defense barricades, even when the anti-terrorist unit arrived, he had already taken care of the monsters and escaped to his next hiding place.

He had zero trust in the police services of any of these "fictional" worlds and would rather let NPCs die, than think they would be of any help to him, other than of course live bait for monsters.

The people that arrived were shocked to find dozens of monster corpse, most killed due to booby-trap, the small maze was as deadly as it went and their target was nowhere to be seen.

Nick at the time was in another one of his hiding holes, waiting for the next wave of monsters to arrive, what came however wasn't a monster, but a stray cat, that easily bypassed his defenses and came closer to him, stole some food from his plate and disappeared. Leaving him dumpstruck looking at the direction the feline took, before he could hear a loud sound as the creature died due to one of his traps.

"There's no cure for stupidity"

He said as he threw the food on his plate away as if it had been contaminated or something and begun to prepare for relocation.
