But the worst thing happened later: from the block where the infected prisoner was kept, the last click of the lock was heard, and the doors swung open.

The first zombie-like step stitched between man and creature burst out of the block. It was followed by new figures - zombies, single and then massive. They bit the staff, infected them, and each bite is a new catch of the virus. Soon, the guards, doctors, and researchers affected by the strain turned into zombies, who slowly but inevitably left the block and headed for the exits from the laboratory.

The city outside the bloc began to suspect that events were taking place inside beyond the understandable scale. But at this moment, the meaning was simple: the zombies broke out of the block, bit the staff, and all this had already come out into the city.

"We need to close the sector," Koldunov replied. "This is more than our experiment.

At that moment, another whisper was heard outside the glass: the city was breathing in the darkness of the laboratory, as if it was preparing to go outside the walls. The noise of the ventilation became palpable, like the breath of a city approaching its apocalyptic boundary.

Shift after shift, anxiety turned into an engine of panic: containment protocols were soaked through and through with anxiety, and a new reality began to emerge inside the laboratory. Perhaps the prisoner carried a mysterious strain that is activated only under conditions of high stress and direct contact with blood. Perhaps this strain is not just contagious, but gives rise to something else - a virus with a pattern of growth and a spasmodic transition to an aggressive form of life.

The researcher's voice trembled as he spoke, "The prisoner is a carrier of a unique strain. It can be the key to stopping the infection, but it can also be a threat to the entire system.

Outside, the city already felt the approaching darkness. The radio whispered signals from a city in which people did not understand that a new world was brewing inside the laboratory. Barriers, security circuits, and isolation chambers became the last defenders between this local chaos and the entire world.

the monitors blinked, and a signal appeared on the screen: "Strain activated. The prisoner turned his head, his eyes blank, and he took a step toward the door. His fingers found the lock, the mechanism creaked, and the light flashed twice before going out completely.

Behind the glass, the guard let go of the counter and sank to his knees, trembling. There was silence in the laboratory. Then there is a sudden movement: an urgent alarm. The switches and indicators flickered, but in the darkness behind the glass, a new light was already flashing, not from the lamps, but from the fact that the exit was beginning.

And now the silence is finally broken. A thud outside the walls, footsteps outside the block where there used to be only laboratory corridors. Instantly, panic overwhelmed the staff, mobile phones rang, the doors shook in the lock.

Avoid violations of protocol.

Shift after shift, anxiety was gaining momentum. The cell, which had previously been protected by a glass wall, suddenly became the target of a growing force, and the prisoner leaned towards the door, his fingers exposed by the rough handle, reaching for the lock.

"What's going on?" The guard asked, his voice trembling.

"It activates the engine inside," Yesenin whispered, as if pronouncing a spell. "The Clites begin to work according to someone else's scheme.

A tiny wound appeared on the prisoner's neck. She was small, but a new energy sparkled inside her, as if the blood inside him was the key to a non-existent life form.

"Turn on protocol protection," the young technician said. "Block access to samples, close the sector.

The fluorescent light flickered, the air hissed. Red lights flashed on the console: contact with blood is a high risk. Transmission is cellular. The virus is activated.

"It's not just a virus," one of the researchers whispered. "This is a harbinger of something bigger.

In the laboratory, the air seemed to thicken. The monitors flickered with new symbols; It was as if some other biology lived inside the space, hidden, alien to the familiar world of protocols.

Graphs began to roll up from the bio-safe chamber, and a signal flashed on the display: "Strahmm activated. Contact 1: Bleeding." Then: "Contact 2: Bites."

The guard holding the counter felt a weakness in his hands and lowered it. There is a reddish spot on the neck, a sign of a new disease. The others moved to the corners, trying not to look at what was happening nearby.

"We're informing the dispatcher," the senior shift blurted out. "And speed up the evacuation. Immediately.

The speaker hissed anxiously; On the screen there are new words: "Contact with blood: high risk. Transmission: cellular. Red bars filled the monitor, as if blood was seeping through a net.

Yesenina, holding on to the frame of the door, said quietly: "This is not a flash. It is a distorted biology that obeys different laws.

The doors shook to the creaking of rollers, and the cold of the fluorescent light turned the glass of the windows into mirrors of emotionless faces. In the laboratory, precision and silent fear reigned: every gesture was regulated, every movement was controlled.

Lieutenant Oleg Koldunov stood at the entrance to the observation hall. Nearby, Dr. Yesenina, the lead researcher on the project, would occasionally glance back at the cameras behind the glass, as if looking for something more than a sample's reaction. Behind the glass in the cell, a tall man was breathing, with anxiety that broke through his skin. His eyes were empty, like a mirror of emptiness.

"I see an anomaly," Yesenina said dryly. "Not him, but the stamp inside him. This strain activates cells in a different way.

"What is the scheme?" The technician asked, hiding his fatigue behind a mask.

The cell shook, and the prisoner disappeared into the shadows. His eyes, cold, not alive, looked through the glass and people. The light slid smoothly over his face, as if someone was turning the watch off and on.

"We're watching him," said Alexander, the guard, and adjusted the bandage. — From the moment of admission. It does not go anywhere beyond isolation.

The Doctor nodded, but her voice sounded anxious. This reactor is trying to go beyond control.

A sensor crackled on the stand nearby; An alarm flashed on the screen: "Status change." The operator pressed the buttons, his hand trembled.

"The input activity is increasing," said the young assistant of the clinic. – Protocol: isolation, disinfection, access control. But something goes wrong.

A faint whisper came from the cell: "Not you... Not you..." The sound under the glass grew louder, as if someone inside was knocking on the walls, demanding an exit.

• Isolate sector B-3. Put up double security. Inform the dispatcher," the shift supervisor ordered, hiding his trembling fingers behind a stiff hand on the console.

The curator of the project approached the glass and spoke into the microphone: "Attention. Any contact – immediately notify the management.
