Chapter 525: Look Here Please.
Chapter 525: Look Here Please.
"Will Smith? Who's that?" Will Smith asked.
Alexander quickly realized that he was in the movie called I am Legend.
A world that was ravaged by a man-made virus. It was meant to cure cancer but turned out to be much more than that. Due to mutations, humans started to turn into mindless monsters. Then the virus went airborne and spread around the world.
The virus killed 90% (5.4 billion out of 6.0 billion) of the world's population and turned 9.8% (588 million) into vampiric, albino, zombie-like, cannibalistic mutants called Darkseekers, who were extremely vulnerable to the ultraviolet rays in sunlight. The remaining 0.2% (12 million) of the population was immune to the virus and is the prey of the mutant Darkseekers.
The humans in this world didn't just kill their own people but also turned themselves into a minority while creating a majority species who were their hunters.
"Ah, no no... I mistook you for someone else. What's your name and what took you so long to open the door?" Alexander asked as he walked inside.
"I am Robert Neville and my dog got... infected. I was with her." Neville answered.
"Take me to your dog, I have a cure," Alexander told him.
Suddenly, there was pain in Neville's eyes. "I... I put her out of her misery."
"Doesn't matter. I can still save her. Take me to your dog." Alexander insisted."Uncle, just do as my grandpa says. He can save her, I promise." Ajax assured him.
Neville, seeing even the kid insisting, decided to take them to his lab.
There Alexander saw the corpse of the dog. He waved his hand and the time got reversed on the dog's body. She soon started breathing. He had reversed the time enough that the bite from the infected dogs had also disappeared.
Neville looked at everything happening with a gobsmacked face. He was a scientist and what happened went against the basic physics and sense.
Dobby chuckled, "Hah, this reaction never gets old."
"What did you do?" Neville asked.
"Grandpa just reversed the time of doggy, simple," Ajax explained and went ahead to play with the german shepherd. The dog also licked Ajax's face, making him chuckle.
Ajax was too direct and now Alexander didn't know how to explain it. "Well, kid. Let's just say that I am no ordinary person. I can make miracles happen. Now, where is the live sample you had gathered?"
Neville's mouth was still open due to the lack of words to speak. After a few moments of awkward silence, he replied. "I have her on the table."
It seems he was still in disbelief and considered Alexander's miracle his hallucination.
They went to the lab. "So, you gave it some kind of medicine?" Alexander asked.
Neville nodded and was about to speak but was shocked to see Alexander freeing the Darkseeker.
"What are you doing? Don't!" He ran to him to stop him.
But Alexander raised his hand towards him that made his body freeze. "Calm down, Neville. I am here. Also, I think you should learn more about them than just their biology. For example, their society and their nature."
"What do you mean? They are monsters. They need to be cured." Neville asked.
"Yes, monsters that you humans made in the first place. But, right now these monsters are like the early humans. Confused, angry, and hungry. But, I will show you something." Alexander said.
Soon enough, the female Darkseeker woke up in shock. It soon got agitated.
"Calm down, I am the one who freed you. I'm not going to hurt you." Alexander spoke in All-Speak. The language he learned from Asgard in the Marvel Universe. Alexander was sure that this language was like a universal tongue for all species because it uses magic to sound like whichever language the listener knew.
She left a loud shriek and looked at Alexander. "They will be coming now. They must have heard me."
It felt like growling to Neville but Alexander understood her.
"Good, I want them to come. Now, tell me something, do you remember anything before you got infected with the virus?" Alexander asked.
"Virus? What Virus? I have always been like this." She replied.
Alexander looked at Neville, "See, they don't remember the life they lived before getting infected and turning into vampire-ish beings. To them, this is their life and the natural order of things. To them, you are a predator who hunts them in the day. They hate you, Neville. They want to kill you."
*BOOM*
Soon loud thuds started coming from outside. Alexander let them come in by opening the door with a wave of his hand.
As soon as they entered, one of them who was probably the leader came to the female Darkseeker on the medical bed and picked her up in his arms.
"Take her, but do listen to me for once. Yes, look here, please, right at this metallic tube." Alexander said as he took out the neuralyzer he had taken from the Men In Black world.
*SNAP*
All the Darkseekers stood there like confused dolls. Alexander immediately fed them words. "Nothing happened here, you all came here to drink water. Look at those glasses. All of you go and drink a glass each."
The Darkseekers went ahead and drank the cure. They all soon started coughing. But Alexander let them be and flew out with Neville and his dog.
"Kid, Although I don't have any problem with humans going extinct. But it is also true that many are still alive. Not too many, but still, a lot. It is also true that humans and these new vampire-like people can't coexist. So, I will help and turn them back into normal people.
"However, there will still only be around 500 million people worldwide. I will confiscate all nuclear weapons first and also remove all kinds of borders. I will move all 500 million of you to America from where the seeds of humanity will sow again and expand. This way, all of you will already be used to living with each other." Alexander told him about the plan.
But Neville was still shocked by the prospect of flying. "WHAT ARE YOU?"
"What would humans call a man who can make miracles, fly in the sky, and walk on water?" Alexander asked.
Neville didn't speak for a moment and then blurted. "GOD?"
"Haha, took you long enough to decide." Dobby chuckled.
"But God is not real," Neville said. He was a scientist after all.
Alexander looked at him, "Hmm... if someone asked you 4 years ago whether vampires and zombies were real, you'd have said the same thing, right? Yet they are among us now and have taken over the world. So, why can't God be real?"
Neville shut up. It was indeed the truth.
"Dobby, you go east and I will go west. Sprinkle the cure all around the globe at every place possible. Take Ajax with you. he probably wants to see the world." Alexander ordered.
"Okay, boss. Come on, Ajax." Dobby flew away.
Alexander flew around with Neville and Sam. He didn't leave any place and sprinkled the cure everywhere. Because it was an airborne virus too, he needed to thoroughly remove it.
*Sigh*
"I hope you don't mess up the world again after I fix it," Alexander said.
Neville looked at the rising sun on the horizon. "I wish the same but I can't guarantee anything. Human nature is not that easy to change."
"Haha, true, but if you set good examples, they tend to follow them. So, as long as the foundation of this new world is good, things will be all right. Don't worry. I will sort things out before going away." Alexander assured him.
