Alterin Saga: Biohazard
Episode 15: A two-man love meeting

"Flooded. That's our apartment," I pointed to a partially damaged building in the distance. Probably because of the plague.

We immediately ran there. Hope Miko still exists and doesn't go anywhere else. Arriving at the door, we realized that the door had been broken. I don't know by whom.

Bill opened the half-opened door and entered, followed by us. It was quite dark inside, but we were a little helped by the moonlight.

"I felt the Mathanus Energy, albeit a little. From there," Sam pointed to a door. Bill gulped, then approached the door.

The atmosphere grew tense as we heard a growl from behind the door. We look at each other. Is it possible that it was a mutant who escaped?

Sora raised his three fingers, counting down. Then on the count of three, Bill broke down the door while shouting.

We all shouted, as did Miko who was curled up on the floor. Sam slaps Bill to shut up. We found her, Miko immediately got up and looked at us in wonder.

"How did you find me?" ask Miko.

"Finding an 18-year-old student is not difficult. Come on, you left a lot of snow trails under the window" Sora said.

"Sora..." Miko immediately hugged him while crying, "I'm sorry. I got too carried away by emotions and left the mansion. Sorry to bother you and pick me up"

"Actually—" Sora let go of Miko's embrace and took a step away, "We're not here just to find you"

"Huh?" Miko's confused. We also. I don't know what Sora's thinking, but he's always planning things out of normal people's thinking.

...---...

"2 today I kept thinking about David's words," Sora showed her the screen of her laptop.

"'The treasure' he meant is a figure of speech from someone. Some time ago, the mayor of Reverie said that. He said it while he was in front of the city park, while dating a very beautiful woman.

"'You are charming. My heart was like being harvested by an angel from the heaven' that's what the mayor said. Then, David's line that says the 'Land fell to earth' section is the time when the mayor met the woman. That place is—"

Sora showed a photo and a location on his laptop screen, "Valiant's Cafe. That's where we can find the location of Mathanus Laboratory"

"Valiant's Cafe? Isn't that..." Bill stopped his words.

"Alaster Brown?" I was surprised, as if I had heard that name.

"Tomorrow morning, we'll go there. I'm pretty sure the truth about us will be revealed soon, '" Sora kept the laptop back.

"Wait, is it possible..."

"What's up, Rave?" ask Laura. They all look at me.

"Is it possible that the data was targeted by Nine?"

"Nil? Impossible, the Resistance group could not escape the army examination," Bill refuted.

"That's possible. That group may have been in the city before the outbreak. The army must have only asked for an identity card and did not scrupulously check the suspicious area," Sora opened the canned coffee he bought.

"Anyway, tomorrow we'll go there. Bill, we're counting on you. Secure us from Nine if the news is true. You can still hold a tank bullet, right?" Sora smiled at Bill.

"Yes, not even a missile can destroy me. You can count on me if you fight," Bill sipped a beer can. I thought he was just bragging about being drunk. But his face was so sure.

"All right, time for a break. Bill and I, gonna sleep in Rave's apartment. Miko, Laura, and Sam will sleep here. We need a break for tomorrow's plan" Sora got off the couch and stepped out.

I looked at Miko and said, "Good work. You're getting older, Miko."

Bill and I followed Sora. When I got out of Miko's unit, I somehow smiled. Bill glimpsed my face.

"Hahaha, someone is in love here. You're not thinking of dating a girl like her, are you?"

"Maybe. We have known and been close for a long time. Sam also said we were friends since we were kids"

"Ah... You don't remember, do you?" we arrived at my unit doorstep. The key has been broken, there must be a thief when I go far away. As we entered, Sora was staring in the distance from the balcony. I vaguely heard his words.

"Tomorrow.I can see Alaster again. I've been separated from him for a long time, Project 05"
