"You hear that?" Baekhyun asked almost dryly as he watched over the rooftop of the prison.

"Hear what?" Luhan asked in a whisper. He was lying on his stomach on the ground as he observed the area with the night vision binoculars.

"That," Baekhyun emphasized.

"I hear nothing," Luhan responded.

"Exactly, there's nothing!" Baekhyun hissed.

If anything, what bothered Baekhyun the most was absolute silence. No bug noises. No gurgles from the infected. No metal clashing over rotting flesh.

The wind was cold as it brushed through his face. The sky was painted blue and dotted with stars. The land succumbed to the darkness.

It's like the total silence of the sea before a tidal tsunami hits the land ought to destroy lives.

"Anything?" Chanyeol's static voice came from his device.

He watched over the other end of the T zone roof top where he could see Chanyeol and Kai's silhouettes.

"The silence is making me crazy." He answered back.

With a sigh, Baekhyun moved near the edge as he scanned the metal screens using his night vision binoculars.

There are no infected. It's as if they vanished. There should be at least ten zombies wandering around the prison by this time already, especially in the middle of the night. Even the crickets stopped making noises.

Where'd they go? Baekhyun asked himself.

Sighing, Baekhyun shook his head and decided to head down to round the area but stopped when Luhan immediately stood up from his initial position.

"I think I saw something," he hissed.

"Shit!" He cursed before using the device to inform the other side of the rooftop.

"12 o'clock, something's stalking us." He spoke, his voice unsteady.

Baekhyun immediately looked over the location and there it was. Walking on all fours, moving left to right.

"The other one is here, 3 o'clock." Chanyeol's voice came from the device.

Baekhyun just listened but he never took his sight off from the monster pacing left and right in a loop its long tongue swirling on the air and sharp claws visible on its back, forelegs, and forearms.

"What is it doing..." Luhan whispered in the thin air.

"It's as if figuring how to get to us," Baekhyun responded, his eyes set on it as if scared that once he looked away, the monster would disappear.

"Guys," Kyungsoo's static voice came from the device.

"The creature is just outside the fences. 6 o'clock." He added.

The message made Baekhyun blink a couple of times. Grabbing his device, he put it near his mouth.

"Chanyeol, do you copy? Is the monster still there?" He asked.

"Positive. It's observing. Routing in circles. Stalking us." Chanyeol responded almost immediately.

There must be something wrong.
