{ A LOST WORLD } WEEK THREE Rick woke up and saw the ward door was barred. He remembered trying to reach for a letter and quickly got up. He unplugged the machine he had stopped working and looked around. The hospital was a mess. " what happened here?" Rick asked himself as he walked closer to the window that was closed. Looking outside the hospital, Rick saw a lot of people walking up and down in circles. He was confused. " Why are there a lot of people at the hospital? is there an emergency?" He asked himself walking back to his bed He looked at the bed where he had seen a letter from Martha but it was no longer there. Looking at the beautiful flowers, they all seem old now and withered. " How long have I slept for?" Rick looked at the calendar right in front of him. " Have I been asleep for three years? l or three weeks?" He asked himself checking out the year on the calendar. The static television began to make some weird sound causing a little bit of noise. Rick looked up a

Rick and Emily stood frozen, eyes wide as the arrow's tip was pointed at their faces. The archer, a woman in her mid-thirties with fierce eyes and a no-nonsense demeanor stepped forward, her bow still drawn and aimed at Rick's head."Who are you, and what are you doing here?" she demanded, her voice showing she wasn't ready to listen to stories. " Details." She added looking at Rick and Emily Rick raised his hands slowly, signaling he meant no harm. "I'm Rick, this is Emily. We just need to get inside the station to gather supplies. We're not here to cause trouble." The woman narrowed her eyes, assessing them for a moment before finally lowering her bow. "I'm Lisa. This place is crawling with infected. You two have a death wish or something?" Rick sighed in relief as he lowered his hands. "No death wish. Just trying to survive. We heard a gunshot. Was that you?" Lisa shook her head. "No, but I've been tracking a group of raiders who were making their way here. Looks like they migh

" Are they dead?" Lisa asked cupping Rick's face in her palms. "No, ark get them out in time. Here is. route and location they are. We are going to find them and join with them. I am sure we could be safe with Mark." Rick smiled knowing his family was safe. " But first we need to get dressed and have a warm bath. He stood up and walked about waking into his room and he had another severe headache. Rick groaned as he fell to the floor. Lisa watched and was scared not knowing what to do. She couldn't possibly call 911 everything was in shambles. An encrypted message appeared before Rick [ SYSTEM TASK; FIND A HOSPITAL THAT WOULD TAKE YOUR BLOOD SAMPLES. A MESSAGE WILL BE SENT TO YOU ON HOW YOU ARE GOING TO FIND THEM ][ SYSTEM REWARD; A NEW SUV RIDE WITH LOTS OF COMFORMITIES ] Rick felt his headache gone and looked at Lisa. " There is a change of plan. We need to find a hospital." Rick’s hands trembled as he read the system message. The headache that had momentarily paralyzed him fad

Rick was surprised to see a zombie staring at him and Lisa as they unbarred the door. "What the hell is that?" Lisa shouted, helping Rick to have the door closed back. "We need a way out of here." Lisa looked at Rick, who was pacing up and down. The whole hospital had been taken over by the horde. Their noise was visibly heard as Rick kept pacing back and forth. The system had provided a ride, and all they needed was to get there in time. "Did you see that?" Lisa looked at Rick. "And can you stop pacing? You are making me nervous." "I didn't see what you saw, Lisa. I saw a zombie that was ready to attack us, if that is what you are asking of me." Rick said, gently rubbing his hands over his hair. He brought out his gun and checked the rounds he had left. He knew a few rounds would save them from the zombies. He needed a plan, and it had to be fast. "The zombie we saw when the door was opened was different. It is almost like she knew what she was doing." Lisa tried to gain Rick's at

"Jack?" Rick said it in disbelief. "What the hell are you doing here?" He asked, picking up his baton. "The last time I heard..." "I was in Singapore." Jack replied, looking at Rick. He saw the state he was in and sighed. "I can't believe this would be the end of the world. I had always pictured the aliens coming for us, but now I can't anymore. It is too much for me to bear." Jack said it with a sad face. Jack and Rick had been childhood friends. They both planned to become officers of the law, but then Jack's parents went against it and had him flown out of the country. "What about your parents? Are they alright?" Rick looked at him, and he shook his head. "Are you telling me Singapore is in the same dilemma that we are?" Rick asked, looking scared. "Didn't you listen to the news? Almost all the countries are hit with the virus. There is no place to hide." Jack replied and looked up. "What is that?" He said, holding his baton firm. " What?" Rick asked, turning back to look at wh
