chapter ten

These Lords are becoming more dangerous, the microorganisms spoke in my ear. They are gaining strength and becoming feral. Something is wrong. They seem to be mutating into something different.

“What do you mean different?” My voice broke the stillness inside the Rover like a gunshot. Esmerelda gave me a screwy expression in the rear view mirror.

“I didn’t say anything,” Dove barked beside me. I tapped the side of my head and she nodded in understanding. She turned in her seat and whispered a quick explanation to her aunt.

We don’t know. This is the first time our species have even interacted. Generally, like with you, we develop some kind of symbiotic relationship where we both benefit. In this case, the other microorganisms seem to be merging with the human hosts and creating some new kind of creature.

“Can you examine them,” I asked, my voice just above a whisper. “Is there a way you can study them from afar?”

We have been. That is why we have developed the conclusions we have. The problem is that we cannot enter another organism now that we have bonded with you. These other symbiots are actively seeking additional hosts. It’s like they are creating some kind of hive mind. The Lords are infecting other creatures in order to control them with a singular mind.

“Is that what happened before? The other Lord tried to infect me?”

Yes. We were able to destroy the foreign symbiots, but in doing so we lost the ability to study them.

“Do you think you can find some way to turn the hive mind back on itself?”

What do you mean?

“Say a Lord tried to infect me again. Could you capture and exploit their symbiots against the Lord that spread them?”

We would need to study more of these new symbiots in order to determine if that is possible. Given the strength and ferocity of these new symbiots, it is not likely we will be able to break them and bend them to our will. Our recommendation is to stay away from them. Avoid the Lords. Stop fighting them. They are becoming far too powerful.

“Bad news,” I turned to Dove. “These Lords I told you about are about as bad as you can get right now. They are trying to dominate groups of zombies and seeking to infect new victims. Which means that all three of us are now on the menu for these guys.”

Esmerelda cocked her head to one side. “I used to have an immunity to the Lords and Goners,” I explained to her. “My symbiots would be able to emit neurotoxins to warn them away from me. But now they have mutated and become some real bad mothers.”

“Bad mothers? Is that a technical saying in the zombie hunting business?” Esmerelda smirked as she asked.

“Something like that. We need to get to the prison and make sure that everyone else is safe.”

The rear view mirror caught my attention. Something moved behind us with tremendous speed. “What’s the fastest way to the prison?”

A car crashed behind me, shoved aside by something large and coming in our direction.
