Biohazard's Catastrophe: Death's Hallway

Looking for Paramitha

Ardana did not know how long she had been asleep due to weakness. He woke up suddenly with his eyes almost wide. There was a feeling of uneasiness that struck and his heart was pounding even harder than usual. This young man turned his head left and right as he grabbed his assault rifle and then checked the ammunition in the magazine attached to the bottom.

“Why this? It feels suddenly agitated.”

Creepy sounds that echoed from all directions were heard again, even more than before. When glancing at his watch Ardana just realized the day had begun to lean towards the twilight. The creatures seemed to be able to know the turn of time even though they did not come out of the hallway area. That means that dinner time is almost here and it is likely that some of them will roam the forest that is right above the place.

A flash of movement emerged from the direction of the left aisle lane where he had originally checked there and was caught by the glasses worn by Ardana. From the size of his shadow he knew it was a large tall creature wrapped in a shroud.

“He's here? Ah, that's right!” detested oracles.

Without wasting any more time Ardana ran into the lane on the right. It is also impossible to return to the cell area because there are two dangers that he previously passed – mutant cows and the figure of a hornet who was last attacked each other because he fought for prey. To face the jerkong that has changed its form has spent dozens of bullets and only made the creature fall.

GRRRRAAARRRGGGH!

Hick off! Hick off! Hick off!

Ardana paused for a moment while looking back. How surprised he was when he saw that the creature was already only about fifty meters away and kept running towards him. The figure wrapped in blood-stained shroud looked wrathful. His teeth were lined up sharp and large was crushed with the rest of the human body's organs bathed in blood that was still tucked in between them.

A NOTE! KATATATAT!

Not wanting to die silly, Ardana chose to fight back while moving back quickly. His assault rifle barked loudly breaking the silence of the hallway area accompanied by flickering flames. Dozens of sharp projectiles shot through the layers of skin and flesh of the figure.

This young man in a dark green tactical uniform was flabbergasted to see his attack had no effect whatsoever. The four-meter-tall creature in front of him only staggered slightly each time a bullet hit him. Only a second later he was able to balance his body and then ran back though a bit sluggish. Despite changing the weapon from Sako Rk.95 to SS2-V4 which he also carried remains unchanged at all.

Wuuuu!

The large sickle swing of the creature almost beheaded Ardana who was recharging the ammunition. The young man immediately threw himself down and then rolled forward to turn his back on the large figure who was rampaging at him. The opportunity was used very well to throw his survival knife into the neck of his target.

Claps!

GRRRRAAAARRRRGH!

The large shrouded figure roared in pain and then swung his scythe in all directions. Ardana just found out the weakness of the creature is on the back of the neck. Dark red blood poured out from there along with an unpleasant aroma that was quite stinging. Again Ardana had to roll again because the sickle eyes of the stick had returned to target his body.

Seven seconds later, the giant pocong-like creature collapsed without any movement. The atmosphere of the hallway returned silent as if there had never been any incident. Ardana who was still drifting in tension that culminated approached the large body to take his sharp weapon that was still stuck in the back of the neck. The blackish-red blood that soiled the blade was cleaned by borrowing a swab of the shroud that wrapped the body of the creature in front of him.

[Ardana, comein!]

The voice of Inspiration suddenly rang through a communication device.

[Hhhhh.h, it's good that you're still safe. And, actually, there is something I want to tell you,] reply Inspiration from across there.

Ardana fell silent while walking quietly down the path of the right aisle. The heavy voice of the middle-aged man made him curious as well as anxious. For some reason, he felt unprepared for the news he would receive. Rows of human bodies that were lying frozen and damp under his feet were not glimpsed. His mind was more concentrated on listening to the words of Inspiration.

[Paramitha is not in Nina's house. I thought he was still in the village but it turned out to be wrong. The black kujang with the white horn handle in the woman's house also disappeared. Just a scrap of blood-stained scrap paper I found on the jacket that was in Paramitha's room. It looks like he went to the Sirnasurya Forest. If my guess is correct—.]

“A—what? Are you sure of what you said? Don't tell me that... don't tell me Paramitha also came in here,” cut Ardana. His voice began to fade.

Inspiration was silent for a moment.

[And I hope not so. But, if it's true that he's there too, please.You find Paramitha and bring him home safely.].

Ardana let out a heavy sigh with footsteps that began to hesitate to move forward. His chest began to feel tight to try to understand well the unpleasant news he received.

[I want to ask you something. The memo paper on Paramitha's jacket.. You gave it to her, right?]

“Yes, Sir. It was my Sa— that gave it to Mitha when she mentioned about the death of her father and mother. It happened while we were visiting her aunt in Karanghawur Village. I unintentionally offended him and was forced to reveal my findings.”

[Don't feel guilty like that. Without you even showing it his intention to reveal the death of his parents and what happened to him remains. I myself also do not know the truth because of how closed Mitha to these things. About whether you have feelings for Paramitha or not, I don't think that's a problem. You are more worthy in your present capacity. But, by the name of the Catranata family, take him home.]

“I'll start looking for it now. Later I call again when I have met with Mitha, Mr.”

Ardana shuts down the communication system without waiting for a reply or a reminder message from Ilham. One important thing has not been resolved properly, now comes another new problem that must also be resolved simultaneously. This young man could not accept the effect of his actions unintentionally offending about the death of his beloved parents. Paramitha must have been hit by a trigger that made the girl want to find out more about all the things in the past as well as the unknown about her.

Although not included in his official duties, Ardana still added his new task to the list of priorities that must be done. From his deepest heart he was afraid that something bad might happen to Paramitha. Ardana could not forgive herself if she had lost her life because of her past foolishness. If until it happens not only inner suffering, his name will be the first to be mentioned when all members of the Catranata condemn him as the murderer of his own lover.

“I'll find you, Neng. I don't want you to get hurt, wait for me!”

Ardana again rushed to follow the direction of the new passageway that is now passed. Without realizing it, the dozens of human bodies in army uniforms that he passed by were suddenly alive. The creatures growled loudly with their skulls cracked wide and bodies convulsed. Their bodies begin to regenerate and undergo various forms of change.

Kraa!!

BRRROOOCCHH!

The originally fractured head was now split apart, replaced with a live lump of flesh filled with a blackish-red eyeball and a gaping mouth wide. From their chest, one eye-sized yellow volleyball is very aggressive.
