Plundering in the Apocalypse

Chapter 57 The Weird Phenomena!?

[A/N:- This will be confusing. This chapter will have other parts. ]

"Out of the way!!"

Inside a long corridor, a man in a white lab coat wearing glasses sh1111outed frantically. He looked like a doctor.

"Move out!! It's an emergency!!"

He was sweating not by being tired but by nervousness. Behind him, 3 men were pushing a stretcher carrying someone covered in blood and unconscious.

Two nurses were trying to stop further bleeding and trying some first aid to keep that person alive.

Two figures could be seen following them. A man and a woman. There were tears in their eyes. They were Alfred and Reina. Shin's parents. They were closely following behind those nurses.

Their eyes were solely focused on the person covered in blood. It was Shin. His condition looked very critical.

"Ready the OT(operation theatre). We will start the operation now." The doctor with the glasses that was running frantically ordered other surgeons.

They went inside the OT and the door closed. Alfred and Reina both wanted to follow them but were stopped by the same doctor who was helping make way for bringing Shin to the OT.

"Please stay here. We will try our best so please have some faith." The doctor couldn't find any better words to assure them. As he too wasn't sure of the operation's success.

Alfred seemingly understood his thoughts and stooped. He calmed Reina down and also stooped her. She was pretty angry by that fact but soon calmed down.

They both were worried about their son. Why would they not after all Shin's condition was pretty severe?

They sat down outside the OT. Alfred facepalmed himself and started crying. He had regrets. He failed himself as a father.

"If only I was there. If only I followed him. Th-Then this would have never happened."

Alfred's voice was shaky and although Reina gently caressed him but bit her lips. Trying to stop herself from crying. She too was in no condition to comfort him.

There was only silence enveloping the hall. Both of them had grim expressions on their faces. They only waited and waited.

//Inside the OT//

Shin was half-conscious. His mind wasn't stable and could only hear some voices.

'Why is it so dark? It hurts.'

Suddenly he heard a voice.

"Is his heartbeat stabilized?" A bald doctor asked.

"No, his condition is only getting worse." Another man replied.

'Whose condition are they talking about?' Shin couldn't understand his situation. So couldn't understand what their words meant.

"Shit. What about his bleeding?" He cursed.

"Most of his organs are ruptured. It's getting more and more difficult to further stop the bleeding." That man replied to the bald doctor. He further said.

"Because of the bleeding, we can't even figure out if his eyes are fine or not."

The bald doctor had a grim look on his face. The patient's bones were fractured. His organs were ruptured. His eyes were bleeding. They weren't even sure of his situation.

'Are they talking about me? Is my situation that serious? But what happened to me? Why don't I remember anything? How did I become like this?' Shin had many questions. His memories were hazy and it felt like he became numb after suffering so much pain.'

"What did he even go through to become like this?" The nurse beside them couldn't help but mutter seeing Shin's pitiful state.

Most of their attention turned to her question. Even they weren't sure of it. They couldn't help but get wanting to know the reason behind his current state.

Even Shin wanted to know what had happened. It felt like his mind and body were separate. He couldn't feel any pain nor could he do anything except hear them. He wanted to know what happened to him.

Suddenly the doctor with glasses from before spoke.

"It was a terrible accident. At least that's what was reported."

Shin felt something was wrong. But before he could think much that bald doctor asked in his stead.

"That doesn't explain anything. His condition is terrible. Any normal person should have been dead. How is he still alive?"

Shin wanted to punch him.

'Shouldn't he be happy that I'm still alive? Why is he questioning that?'

'But why can't I remember what happened to me? If it's as serious as they sound why don't I feel anything.'

Suddenly he heard two people a little away from him talking in low voice.

"Was he hit by a truck?"

A young doctor from behind pointed it out.

"Why truck of all things? It could have been any vehicle." another young doctor asked him.

Both of them were observing the operation for experience without being a part of it. They could only assist in small things as they were still a trainee.

Everyone was busy trying to save Shin by stopping his bleeding and using medications. But they still turned to glance at both of them in a questioning gaze as they all had that same question in mind.

Even Shin couldn't help but be curious about his words. He too wanted to know if what that doctor said about him being hit by a truck was true.

Without being aware of others' curiosity that young doctor replied to the other one.

"Isn't that a fact? It's the common-sense man."

His partner nodded in understanding.

Everyone other than those two had the same thing on their mind.

'What the hell was that?'

Anyway, Shin's condition was getting worse by the minute. Even after all the efforts, those doctors were putting into saving. it was all in vain. They could tell he won't survive for long if this goes on. But the operation kept on going for hours. They only hoped for the best.

Outside the OT. Alfred knew that Shin's condition was only getting worse by the minute.

'Those doctors can't treat that level of injuries. I know even without looking. All his major organs are ruptured. His limbs are fractured. His eyes are bleeding and in terrible condition.'

'let's try one more time.'

He took out his phone and dialed a number. His hands were shaking but he still called that number.

*Triing!*

'Please pick up. Please I know you don't want to but please.' Alfred prayed with all his heart. Even with the tears, there was a slight hint of fear behind it.

*Triing!*

*Clack!*

[...Why did you call me?] a deep voice came from the opposite end of the call.

"D-Dad," Alfred spoke nervously.

[Don't call me that. What do you want? I will just hang up otherwise.]

"Please save Shin," Alfred said as tears started falling down his eyes.

[...]

[I'm listening.]

"I want to use Black Pill on Shin."

[I won't allow it and why would I give it to you? If it means using that Pill I don't need that thrash. Let him die.]

*Beep* Call hunged up.

Alfred grits his teeth in anguish.

"I'll save Shin. Even if it means going against the family."

Reina who was listening to their talk started crying. She was devastated. She never thought her family would treat them like that.

Alfred walked toward Reina and said.

"I'll find a way out don't worry."

Hearing Alfred's words. Regina just continued crying while holding his shoulders as support.

Alfred patted the back of her head.

Shin was looking at this scene. Rather his consciousness was here. But no one could see it.

'Wait, how am I able to see and listen to them? When my body is inside.' Shin was able to see and listen to everything like he is a third party now. 'It's so weird, wasn't I just in my body not being able to see anything? How come I can see them?'

'And what is this talk about the black pill? Why is my family treating me like that?'

Shin felt some pain. The next moment he was sucked inside the Operation theatre where his operation was going on.

Shin was surprised to see his own body. Doctors were trying everything in their power to save him. Even after hours of continuous operation. They weren't able to save him.

The main doctor in charge of his operation looked at the machine nearby and sighed.

"I guess this is it. We weren't able to save him. Poor guy, he died at such a young age. If only we knew what had happened to his body. There was no way to save him. We weren't even able to stop the blood."

He shook his head bitterly.

'What? What do you mean I am Dead? I am right here.' Shin was shouting in anger but his shouts never reached those doctor's ears

Doctors left the room one after another. Shin was very angry at the fact he was seeing himself dying but couldn't do anything. His parents were devasted because of him.

He promised that he would never make them cry again and here he was doing the opposite.

The room became empty. Only Shin's dead body and his consciousness observing everything in a third person were present.

Shin was trying his best to remember everything but he wasn't able to for some reason.

Suddenly a golden portal appeared inside the room. Shin was shocked.

'Wait? Are monsters coming here? But didn't Dad say it was a red portal?'

Before he could continue thinking. A figure came out of the portal.

A graceful yet beautiful figure appeared in front of him.

It was a beautiful woman with a great figure and beauty. She was like a goddess.

'She looks familiar.' Shin was thinking he had seen this woman before.

'Wait!!'

'No, it can't be. Isn't that Alice?'

Shin thought and was sure now. This beautiful woman was Alice.

She looked like an adult. He was sure she would have looked like this once she grows a little more.

But this Alice is more beautiful than the Alice I know.

He suddenly had another headache. While he was looking at this matured Alice with interest.

'AAHHH'
