Adam staref af Myra,
"Cure?"
Myra dudn't look away.
"Yes"
For a moment,no one spoke.
That words felt too big.
Too i.possible.
Too dangerous to believe.
Farid was the first to react.
"You're seriously".
Myra nodded slowly.
I saw something before everything collapsed
Adam slepped closer.
"What did you see there?:
"A research location"Myra answered."hidden no parts of the main hospital.
Diana frowned
"A laboratory?"
"Yes".
Zul crossed his arms.
"And you think,they're found a cure there?".
"No"Myra replied honestly..
"I was think they're were trying too".
Ada. Studied her face carefully.
Myra hesistated.
Then she pointed toward to the north side of the city.
"Professor Ilham Research Libratories"
That name meant nothing to must of them.
But Malik react Immediatly.
"Professor Ilham...!!!"
Everyone turned around and looked at Malik.
"Did yoh know him?"Adam asking Malik
Malik nodded slowly and replied it.
"My father mention him before"
Myra looked suprise.
"You father did?"
"Yez"Malik continued "he said professof Ilham was studying unusual infection patterns even the outbreaks.
Farid blikend.
"Before outbreak?"
"That meant his started earilier than we tough?"
Myra didn't answer.
Because she already knew that.
Diana stepoed forward.
"So,whats the plan?"
Adam looked at the group.
"If there even a chance,they were working on a cure..."
He tightened his grip on his bag.
"We must go there...:"
"Every trails God sends is not meant to destroy hope.....
But to show,who is still searching for it when everyone else has been already given up:
Adam whispered.
Myra replied it .
"We're not just trying to survives....but we're looking for cure..."
The road toward professor Ilham Lab was too quiter.
Too quiet.
Must infected gethered near crowned zones.
Hospital
Market
Transport
But this area--
Felt abandoned
Like people had left before everything collapsed.
"That wrong?"zul whispered.
"What?" Farid asked.
"No infected"
Adam noticed it too.
And that made him more alert.
"Stay carefully" he said."sometime silence is worse"
They moved pass a row of the empty office building.
Broken window reflected the grey afternoon sky.
Loses papers scatters acrosd the road.
Then Myra stepped slowly.
"There is it"
Everyone followed her gaze.
A three-story research building stood behind locked metal gate.
The sigh the enterance was still visible.
PROFESSOR ILHAM FACALITY
Farid exhaled slowly.
"There is it"
"Yes "Myra said.
Adam walkinv toward to the gate.
It wasn't lockex anymore.
"Someone had force it open.
Recently
"Stay close"Adam whispered slowly.
Theu entered compound together.
The main enterance door stood half open,it just like someone had left in a hurry.
Diana looked at the broken security camera above the door.
"Something happen here:
Adam pushed the door gently.
Its open--
Inside
Papers covered at the floor.
Chairs overturned.
Emergency lights stills blinking weaky along the hallwall.
Farid swallowed.
This place looks worse than the hospital.
They exewaiting.
"No"Malik said quietly."they were running".
Adam looked down at the corridoor ahead.
Dark.
Silent.
Waiting.
"If they were working on a cure" he said.
Were about to find out what happen it.".
And together-
They stepped inside professor ilham labarotories.
Where the first real answer about the infection were waiting.
