The ruins of Qandar: The book of survival
After the outbreak, nothing was the same. They thought biological weapons would help them win the war, the government did. Now those who survived the impact, destruction and the great night that lasted 3 months, know that this wasn’t really a good idea. My father was a smart man- smart enough to come up with a plan to survive first-hand. He had an indoor green house prepared in the basement. With his brain and brawn, it wasn’t hard for him to survive, but after all no one’s perfect. He made a mistake- a mistake he didn’t live to regret. He went out there. He believed there were still people out there; people waiting to be saved, people hoping to be saved. It was the third week and that was the last time I, or anyone else, ever saw him. After that, I was alone; alone in the dark night to fend for myself. The night lasted longer; way longer than I thought it would (or rather, it could).
So what exactly happened before the outbreak? Well, the government wanted to make something far greater than anything men has ever seen; and they succeeded. They started Project: PERV (Physically Enhanced Raptor Virus), a virus created from a virus created to destroy the host. Their first project, the RAPTOR, didn’t go as planned and never saw the light of the day so they conspired on another far greater virus. This virus could basically attack one’s neural system and find other organisms to feed and breed on while the rest of the host was being devoured itself.
At first, it was just rat-tests and they saw it working properly, then they took the big step; they bombed a town. What the tests didn’t tell them was that the virus could infect airborne hosts. After the disastrous outbreak, they quickly started spreading the antidote. But it only worked on those who were not yet affected through contact. There was a downside to the antidote too; it could only make one immune to the airborne virus. Contact could still change one’s composition.
My father and I took the antidote and 7 days after the outbreak, sealed our house and waited for something to happen. The Infected, A.K.A Cougars, only attack during the night. They hide in the cloak of shadows, armed with the element of surprise. They can lure one into trap by speaking alerting words from the language they spoke as humans.
After the night cleared, I was free to roam around half the time and find the rumored cure for the virus. They say the government has another hidden antidote that can completely stop the transformation and kill the virus completely. Now, I am about to embark on a journey to find the rumored cure. My father figured out the source of the virus and the lab where it was constructed, he even made an antidote far stronger than that given by the government; but even that couldn’t stop the infection through contact. With his coordinates, I will find the cure.
