Several hours later, the planes landed in a large base surrounded by sand, the base was basically in the middle of nowhere.

"Take her to see the doctor and take the coffin to the lab" The captain issued some commands as they entered the heavily guarded base.

After issuing some more commands, the captain went through a series of locked doors which required a high clearance to enter and found himself in a large room which was filled with luxurious furnitures and specially prepared food made from rare ingredients, in the middle of this huge room sat a middle aged man at a table who was fiddling with some objects.

"How was the trip?" The middle aged man asked the leader who gave a salute to him before replying.

"We recovered a coffin but there was only one survivor who seems disoriented , she seems to have experienced something vicious enough that scared her to that extent " The leader answered .

" A coffin you say , I would very much like to see this coffin and as for the families of those who died , you know what to do " The middle aged man said as he stood up with his walking stick .

"Okay sir right this way " The leader said with a smile as he led the middle aged man through a series of doors until they arrived at a well furnished lab.

"Sir its very nice to see you again, how are the suppressants?" The head scientist who was a woman asked with a smile .

"They are working quite well but their effects are starting to wear off and if we don't find a cure soon then I am afraid that I maybe unsavable " The middle aged man said with a cough .

"Oh don't say that Mr Kurt, we are working as hard as we can to find a lead so don't lose hope" The head scientist said with a smile .

"As long as you are here, I won't so how is the analysis going?" Mr Kurt the middle aged man asked.

"Well so far no weapon or substance has been able to cause a scratch on the coffin so it should have been made out of the same unique material as the other. two items that we found, we are currently thinking of a way to open it” The head scientist said with a glance at the coffin which was being kept in a containment cell where some tests were being run on it.

"Okay well if you find anything then alert me

immediately" Mr Kurt said then left.

"You didn't tell him" The leader of the

soldiers said.

"I don't think we should until we are sure"

The head scientist said.

"This is of utmost importance, it says

clearly that we shouldn't open the coffin,

pure danger lies within" The leader said

with a serious expression.

"Relax, what could possibly be within this

coffin that could have survived all this

while, and besides we haven't even figured

out how to open it" The head scientist said

with a smile.

"Still I have a bad feeling about this" The

leader said.

"Relax, what are you so worked up about,

there is nothing to be scared of" The head

scientist said.

"Out of the 50 archeologists that went to

the ruins, only 1 returned disoriented talking

about strange occurances, dont you think

that's even a little bit suspicious' The leader

said.

"Well after all what's happened, you can

say that strange is the new normal, I mean

come on, aren't you even the least bit

curious about what's in the coffin?" The

head scientist replied.

"I am, but I'm more interested in staying

safe" The leader said.

"He has been sick for 30 years, he only has few months to live, he has been searching

for 25 years, do you think that he will be

willing to stop now?" The head scientist

said with a sign.

"Dr, we found something" A scientist said

from within the room as he handed a tablet

over to the head scientist.

"What am l looking at here" The head

scientist asked.

"This is the structural analysis we ran on

the coffin and this is the structural analysis

we ran on the other two items" The scientist

said with a smoke.

They are a match" The head scientist said

with a smile.

"Yes it seems that the three items were

made from the same indestructible material

which means that unless we find a way of

opening the coffin naturally, we can't do

anything to it" The scientist said.

"Hmm, wait a minute, send the images to

the big screen and zoom it on that location"

The head scientist suddenly exclaimed.

"What is that?" The scientist asked.

"Looks like a hole" The leader said.

"Not just any hole, a keyhole" The head

scientist said with a smile.

"Yes it looks like it but we don't have the

key" The leader said.

"Actually we do, judging by the shape and

size of the hole, l'd say it's safe to assume

that the second item is the key to opening

the coffin The head scientist said with

excitement.

"Wow that was fast" the leader said with

surprise.

"Well what can I say, I am good at my job"

The head scientist said with a grin as she

made the robotic arm in the containment

cell pick up the second item and place it in

the keyhole.

"Hmm, I expected more of a dramatic s..."

The head scientist said but was suddenly

interrupted by an earthquake which lasted

for a few minutes before stopping.

"What the hell was that?" The leader said

with shock.

"I don't know holy shit' The head scientist

said with shock.

"What's the prob...oh my." The leader said

with widened eyes as he stared at the

containment cell which had a huge gaping

hole in the center.

"What could have caused such a huge hole"

The head scientist asked as she stared the

huge hole.

"The coffin.. it's open" The leader said in

horror.

"Which means whatever was inside is now

out" The head scientist said with a grin.

"Why the hell aren't you alarmed, do you see

the hole whatever was inside created, I told

you we shouldn't have opened it, now look

w..." The leader said with slight fear but was

suddenly interrupted by an alarm sound

which rang throughout the entire facility.

BEEP

BEEP

"What's going on" The leader asked.

"This is strange, it seems like our defense

has been breached but that's impossible,

our defense is one of the best in the world"

The head scientist said with confusion.

"Put the whole facility on lockdown" The

leader said.

"What, why should I do that?" The head

scientist asked.

"Something escaped from that coffin, we

released it and now we have to make sure it

doesn't get out" The leader said.

"Yeah I still think you are thinking too f.....”

The head scientist said but was suddenly

interrupted by a shout from one of the

scientist in the room.

"What was that?" The head scientist asked.

"It's still here" The leader said as he drew

his gun.

WHOOSH

"Arrg" Another scientist shouted as he

suddenly disappeared.

"It's too fast, attention to units, report to

my location at once, we are under attack, I

repeat we are under attack, the number of

enemies is currently unknown, report here

with weapons at once, Captain Hank out"

The leader took out a communicator as he

sent a message across the base.

WHOOSH

"Arrg, hel...." Anither unfortunate scientist

also screamed as he was suddenly

attacked.

"Everyone move to my location now, the

enemy want to take us out one by one but

if we are together, it will be harder for it to

do that" The leader shouted after seeing

another scientist being captured.

"Good now form a circle and if you see the

slightest movement, alert me immediately"

The leader said.

"Hahaha, how sweet of you to gather at one

place now I don't need to take you down

one by one" A cold eerie voice sounded in

the room which sent chills down spines of

all of them.

"Where is the voice coming from?" A soldier

asked with fear.

"Everywhere" The leader said with fear.

"Holy shit, what the **** is that" A scientist

asked with a trembling voice as it pointed

at a humanoid figure crouching in the

darkness.

"I cant move, arrg i can't fucking move"A

scientist screamed with fear after realizing

that he couldn't move.

"I can't also move, we are all going to die"

Another scientist also screamed.

"Shit, what the hell is this, damn it, **** The

leader thought to himself as he stared at

the creature which started to move towards

them but then he suddenly heard the sound

of heavy footsteps approaching.

Captain, we are here, what the." The leading soldier said with shock as he spotted the creature only a few meters away from the captain.

"Enemy spotted, open fire" The soldier shouted as he immediately aimed his gun at the creature and started firing which caused the others to follow suit.

"Arrg damn humans, always a nuisance"

The creature said in its cold eerie voice as it scurried away into the darkness.

"I can move again The captain said with

relief.

"Spread out in groups and search the entire room, immediately you spot it call for backup" The captain immediately issued the order as he turned to the head scientist.

"Are you okay?" The captain asked with

concern.

"Yes I think I am" The head scientist

answered with a smile.

"Good I need you to focus on getting the lights back on and the rest of you need to leave now before you get hurt" The captain said to the head scientist then turned back to the other scientists who were escorted out by a group of soldiers.

"The creature makes use of the darkness to hide so if we can bring the lights back on, we may weaken it partially" The captain said with a smile as he explained his plan.

"That's a good plan but unfortunately I can only bring it back on for a few minutes before it's lights out again because for Some reason, the power supply has been destroyed so we can only use the backup generator which has also been damaged but can last for a few minutes" The head scientist said with a frown.

"Shit, well i guess we are going to have to

work with that" The captain said with a grin.

BANG

BANG

BANG

"Shoot it down, **** its attacking, its too fast" The captain suddenly heard the shouts of some soldiers.

"Everyone move to that location and provide support" The captain shouted.

"I have to go provide support, take this in case of anything" The captain said as he handed the head scientist a handgun.

"Pray I don't have to use this" The head scientist said as the captain left.

"It's dead?" The captain said with surprise as he arrived at the scene.

"Took down 10 men before it died, what the **** is this?" A soldier asked with fear as he stated at the creature

"Be careful, it may not be dead yet, I will be right back' The captain said as he went towards the location of the head scientist.

"What is it?" The captain asked.

"Didn't you order for all soldiers to move to this location, why are these ones just walking around?" The head scientist asked.

"I don't think those are soldiers" The captain

said.

[Backup generator will be turned on in 3, 2, 1]

"Then what are they?" The head scientist

asked.

BEEP

"Those are zombies" The captain answered with horror as nobody noticed the eyes of the dead soldiers open suddenly.

[ Switching Power ]

"Shit arrg, something just bit me" The shout of a soldier suddenly appeared which was immediately followed by others as the lights went off.

"Shoot the dead soldiers, they are zombies " The captain suddenly shouted as he rushed towards the location where several gunshots could be heard as the light came back on.

"Captain, we have a problem, the body's gone" A soldier suddenly said as he stared at the previous location of the creature .

"Shit, Nancy" The captain said with realization as he stared at the location of the head scientist .

"Arrrg" The head scientist's voice suddenly sounded.

    "Nancy!" The captain shouted as he ran to her location but when he arrived, he saw the creature clutching her by the neck as it raised her to the skies."I can feel your fear, it feeds me" The creature said with a grin as it grinned at the head scientist which revealed it's sharp teeth which gleamed in the light."Drop her, now or I will open fire" The captain said as he aimed his gun at the creature's head."Hahaha, love is a very cruel feeling, it tricks into feeling that you have found something to live for and then at a crucial time crush that dream" The creature said with a chuckle as he brought her close to his face and licked her face with it's slithering tongue."I said release her" The captain said with anger as he pointed his gun at the creature threateningly."Do you think your earthly weapons have an effect on me mortal, don't make me laugh, killing you is as easy as raising my arm, if you think I'm lying ask them" The creature said as it pointed behind the captain."What

Before I could finish the sentence, I heard another scream coming from my right so I followed the sound until I arrived at a large door in the hallway, the sound was coming from behind the door."Ok here goes nothing" I said as I opened the door slightly and peered in, this hallway had only one light which was also dim so I switched off my phone's torchlight and walked in while pulling out my gun.As I moved, I could

Rash said as he walked up to me while staring at the hole in the ground."Yeah thanks for saving my life" I said with gratitude as he helped me up."It's nothing, we're even now, but why do you look like that?" Rash asked as he stared at my frown."I don't know if it's just the adrenaline but the human part of the spider looked familiar, it's probably nothing though" I said with a shrug as I brushed it off."Okay so now what?

    Somewhere in the hospital, two figures could be seen sneaking down a dark staircase, they walked slowly and soon reached the end which was a door, the one in the lead peeped through the door then placed his hand on the doorknob but just as he was about to open it, he suddenly paused then turned around."Could you please stop breathing so deeply behind my neck, it's annoying" I said with annoyance."What are you talking about, I ain't doing nothing" Rash replied with a frown."Yes you are, I can't even concentrate with your hot breath against my neck" I said."Okay okay, I'm sorry" Rash said with a raise of his hand."Good, now lets go" I grinned as I twisted the doorknob and opened the door slowly as I stepped into two doorways with plenty doors, one on the left and one on the right, and luckily this floor had light but the far end had its light off."Okay so now where do we go?" I asked as I took out the map and stepped under the light to see clearly."So we're here so we just...um R

The blonde female asked with a frown as she walked into the dusty apartment, she seemed to be in her early 20's."I'm sure it's here, I'm positive" The younger male who shared a striking similarity to the female replied with a confident smile."Doesn't seem like it, this place looks like it housed a whole generation of spiders" The last male added, his eyes hinting at the spiderwebs littered across the whole house."It was a spider's nest, but all the Spiders were already dead when I arrived, so at that times, I curiously explored the rest of the house in hopes of picking up some loot and that was when i found this" The Younger youth recounted while leading the rest deeper into the house until they ended up at the basement."What's written
