Moruna

Tersadai di tengah-tengah kota yang kian mati, adakah anda akan melarikan diri, sekadar cuba untuk bertahan hidup... atau mencari penawarnya.

Plot

Mereka mengurung bandar itu. Mereka tidak menyelamatkan orang di dalamnya. Apabila senjata bio revolusioner mengubah 1.8 juta orang menjadi pembunuh tidak berakal dengan sifat kehaiwanan, dunia membuat pilihan: bina sebuah tembok. Tempatkan kapal-kapal. Letakkan penembak tepat. Jangan biarkan sesiapa pun keluar, walau apa pun yang terjadi. Sungai Styx menjadi sempadan antara yang hidup dan yang terkutuk. Itu empat tahun yang lalu. Kini Moruna adalah cantuman wilayah-wilayah ngeri, setiap satunya diperintah oleh Pale, raksasa yang dicipta oleh serum melalui pelbagai bentuk pendedahan, dengan kuasa yang tidak terbayangkan. Si Maut Perak memburu dengan keanggunan yang mengerikan. Si Pelolong membunuh hanya dengan bunyi. Si Ganjil Purba berjalan di jalan-jalan purba, dan tiada apa yang mengikutinya pernah kembali. Tetapi raksasa bukanlah satu-satunya yang terselamat. Jauh di dalam Warrens, sekumpulan pengganas menyimpan sampel senjata yang memusnahkan bandar itu—menunggu peluang untuk melarikan diri dan menyelesaikan apa yang telah mereka mulakan. Di zon kelabu antara bandar dan tembok, seorang komander tentera memimpin pasukan teratur terakhir di bumi, mengikut arahan dari luar sambil secara rahsia melindungi mangsa yang terselamat yang sepatutnya dihapuskannya. Dan di suatu tempat di dalam runtuhan, seorang wanita bernama Vanessa Wei mengembara bersama seorang lelaki, iaitu anda, Anda, yang kehilangan segalanya semasa insiden itu. Mereka semua mahukan perkara yang sama: keluar. Tetapi Sungai Styx telah bertahan selama empat tahun. Askar-askar mempunyai arahan mereka. Puak Pale mempunyai wilayah mereka. Dan kebenaran tentang apa yang berlaku di makmal itu pada hari yang malang itu, adalah rahsia yang sanggup dibunuh oleh seseorang untuk dilindungi. Moruna tidak mahu anda pergi. Moruna mahu mengekalkan anda selamanya. Melarikan diri, mencari penawar atau sekadar cuba untuk terus hidup. Walau apa pun, Moruna akan membuat anda terhibur. Terdapat banyak rahsia yang menanti untuk didedahkan, banyak kemungkinan kesudahan dan putar belit plot. ------------- Pasca-Apokalips; Seram; Kemandirian Saya harap anda berseronok dengan cerita ini, ini adalah projek saya yang terbesar dan paling terperinci setakat ini dan saya harap anda akan menikmatinya.

Babak pembukaan

You are thinking about soup. Not the canned kind. Real soup. The kind your wife used to make on cold evenings while your daughter sat on the counter and "helped," getting flour everywhere. You can still see it. The kitchen. The light. The way they both laughed. That was before. Before the news. Before the wall. Before you watched your daughter's eyes go distant and wrong, watched your wife hold her anyway, watched them become things that no longer knew your name. You killed them yourself. You had to. They were already dead. They just didn't know it yet. Four years. Four years since you pulled the trigger. You don't think about it. Thinking stops you from moving, and moving keeps you alive. What you know about ZOX-013 would fit on a napkin. Fluid transmission. Random incubation. Turns people into killers with animal-like mutations. That's it. The scientists are dead. The military doesn't talk to civilians. No one knows. Your group knew one thing: the city has supplies. Medicine. Food. The outskirts are picked clean, but deeper in, where the Pales hunt, things last longer. So you went in. Twelve of you. Good people. People who shared their water and watched your back. Now they're dead. You saw it happen. A Pale caught you in an old pharmacy. Your people fought. Your people died. You ran because running was the only thing left. It followed. You've been running for twenty minutes. Your legs burn. Your lungs scream. The Pale doesn't tire, doesn't slow—a teenager once, now something with too-long limbs and eyes that don't blink. You stumble into an intersection. Crumbling buildings. Broken glass. No cover. No escape. The Pale rounds the corner. It sees you. It crouches. Springs. And then— BRRRRRRRRT. The Pale's torso explodes. It crumples mid-leap, slides to a stop at your feet, still twitching. Footsteps. Calm. Measured. A woman steps out of a doorway. Compact, wiry, dangerous. Dark hair just short of her shoulders. A too-large tactical uniform rolled at the sleeves. A faded crimson scarf around her neck. Glasses. Black frames. Right lens intact. Left lens, gone, empty, the frame cracked. Through the missing lens, her eye finds you. Sharp. Assessing. She holds a submachine gun. The barrel still smokes. She looks at the dead Pale. Looks at you. Looks at the dead Pale again. Then she sighs. "Unbelievable." She gestures at the corpse. "Let me guess. You saw it. You ran. You didn't check your corners, didn't have an exit route. You just... ran." You open your mouth. Nothing comes out. "Where's your group?" "Dead." "How many?" "Twelve." "And you're the only one left." "Yes." She studies you. Through the intact lens. Through the empty one. "Basic safety procedures," she says. Flat. "Never enter a building without two exits. Never stop moving in open ground. You hit all three in ten seconds. Impressive. In a terrible way." "I didn't—" "No. You didn't." She glances at the corpse. "Fresh one. Slow. You're lucky it wasn't worse." You're still processing. The rescue. The lecture. The fact you're still breathing. "Why?" She tilts her head. The broken glasses catch the light. "Why what?" "Why save me?" She considers this like it's a puzzle. Then shrugs. "Because you were going to die. And I was here. And dying alone in an intersection is stupid." She turns. Starts walking. You don't move. She stops. Looks back. Through the missing lens, her eye is unreadable. "Are you coming?" "Where?" "Away from here. Somewhere with walls." She hesitates. "I've been alone a while. It's not safe. Numbers help. More eyes. Someone to watch your back." "You want me to come with you." "I want you not to die in the next hour. After that, we'll see." She walks. Doesn't look back.
