Electronic journal.: Outbreak Missions: The Narrows

WHAT YOU SHALL NEED FOR THE MISSION:

YOUR ACCESS CARD (which i actually forgot. I almost didn't enter, I told the guy collecting the cards that he looks like Zayn Malik, then he let me in) *it's that gold thing*

YOUR MAP

YOUR LIVES

AND YOURSELF.
(in this case, myself) I'M A WIZARD

ALRIGHT. NOW THAT YOU'RE SET, GO TO THE STARTING LINE!

THIS IS NOT OUTBREAK MANILA!

*gasps* Say what??

THIS IS OUTBREAK MISSIONS

oooh.

NOW GROUP YOURSELVES INTO 10

We only have 7 members in our team,

so I immediately shouted, "THREE, WE NEED THREE!"
Then these guys in costume, Bane, Will Ferrell and this Racer guy said that they were only three.

So now we were 10 in the team, we had to think of a Team name. We thought of using Team Ang. Lol. Or maybe, Team Ba, Team Pura, TeamPlerun, Team Shit, Team Hogwarts, Team Bane, Team Jecay.
Lol. We stuck with Team Pura (Hi, Flery)

So the NPCs (Non-Playing Characters) said we enter the field by team. When our team was up, we immediately felt nervous, well, I did also Bea, Maney and Jecay.

OKAY, THIS GROUP, RUN FIRST.

The NPC pointed at the group beside us,

OKAY, YOU *POINTS AT OTHER TEAM* *THEN LOOKS AT OUR TEAM* NO, WAIT, YOU GO NEXT (REFERRING TO OUR TEAM)

"Guys, tara tara na. Go right."
We all run. I went there at the grassy land, it was so hard to run there because of the uneven ground, atleast the zombies didn't get me

Then we called our team, "Team Pura! Teka lang guys, teka, di ko na kaya" "Ako din wait lang" "Di ako makahinga"
The zombies were really chasing us.
We weren't together, we were all spread apart, our other team mates went ahead (Yeah, thanks team)
The ones resting were me, Maney, Ced, Bea and Jecay
While we were resting at the side, we thought we were safe.
Until one zombie approached me silently, when I panicked, she ran after me.
HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLYSHIT

Then, we were at the first aid booth, there were runners sitting down, so we sat down because I swear, the zombies really chased us! We felt so tired after that. AND THAT WAS JUST THE FIRST PART.
Marnelli was sitting down, then a zombie approached her and took one life, same happened to Bea. I also lost a life, I dunno how.

Marnelli had leg cramps on both legs, so we (Jecay, Manel, Ced, Bea and I [technically, we were left and we were together 'til the end of the missions]) rested for a while.

After resting at the First Aid Booth, we went on.
But we decided not to run coz Maney can't run.

Then, zombies were approaching us again, and I was like, "Can't run! Injured!" So the zombie kuya gave us 2 lives each! WAHOO

The next NPC was wearing a camo suit, he was making us choose, the hard way or the easy way.

THROUGH THE HARD WAY, THERE WILL BE A LOT OF ZOMBIES. BUT MY COMRADE IS IN THERE, YOU HAVE TO SAVE HIM, HE MIGHT JUST HELP YOU.
THROUGH THE EASY WAY, THERE WILL BE NO ZOMBIES CHASING YOU.

So we chose the easy way.
From there we walked to Festival Mall.
We were walking down the long hall before the entrance of the mall.

All of a sudden creepy music played and we were like "What the hell was that?!"

Then an NPC in a camo suit was tied to a post

"ORANGE IS BAD bad bad... NO ORANGE IS GOOD!! THEY ARE GOOD!! NO BAD!!"

A clue.

When we arrived at the entrance of the mall, it was a water station, so we filled our stomachs up with water.

Then we heard an NPC wearing an orange jumpsuit (a cute adult version of Russel)

HELLO THERE, IF YOU WANT EXTRA LIVES, MY FRIEND HERE CAN GIVE YOU SOME.
AND ALSO, WE HAVE SUPPLIES INSIDE THE MALL. COME IN. WE'RE WAITING.

We were like, should we get the extra lives or not? Then we decided not to since we already have a lot of extra lives, and we ought not to trust the big cute adult version of Russel.

We entered the mall.

So dark.

So eerie

Then more creepy sounds played.

We were walking through the mall when we turned to the left side, there were zombies ready to get our lives
We were thinking if we should run or not, then Manel said that we run.
So we did, we stormed through the zombies and tried to avoid them as much as possible.

Then we arrived at the other side of the mall, I lost a life -_-

We went up via the escalator, a the second floor, we were just walking coz there weren't any zombies. YET.

We arrived at a cross road, there were two NPCs, wearing orange

OKAY, YOU HAVE TO DECIDE, THE SAFE WAY (RIGHT) OR THE DANGEROUS WAY (LEFT).

We almost decided to take the safe way again until...

IF YOU CHOOSE THE SAFE WAY, YOUR TEAM MUST SACRIFICE ONE LIFE EACH

We can't risk that. But then the NPCs also said...

THE ZOMBIES HERE AT THE DANGEROUS WAY ARE BLIND. THEY CANNOT SEE YOU, BUT THEY CAN DEFINITELY HEAR YOU. MAKE ONE SOUND, AND THEY WILL GO AFTER YOU. BE PERFECTLY QUIET AND THEY WILL NOT BOTHER YOU.

Okay, off we go to the Left. I was perfectly quiet when all of a sudden..

RAAARRRGGHHHH!!

A zombie fckin surprised me and I screamed. WTF.
Good thing I ran. Then I was quiet again. I saw that Bea and the others are still behind, so I went back for them. Still trying to be quiet. So we proceeded with caution.
We approached the food court (THIS, I SWEAR IS MY FAVORITE PART OF THE WHOLE THING)
A zombie crept up on us and gave us a shock but we muffled our screams so the zombie won't bother us.

Oh, the other blind zombies? THEY WERE EVERYWHERE. ALL OVER THE FOOD COURT.
This is going to be fun.

WE RAN PAST THE ZOMBIES, WE WERE EXTRA QUIET. WE WERE ALL SCARED BUT WE STILL KEPT QUIET.
WE WENT OVER TABLES AND CHAIRS JUST TO AVOID THE ZOMBIES.

Then Bea was left behind! We didn't know it that time because we were preoccupied by this SpiderMan Zombie who's really quick and really scary.

SO WE JUST RAN FOR OUR LIVES!

And whoo! We were safe! Aww yeah!

Then we walked again, no zombies in the area yet.
We came across another NPC wearing an orange jumpsuit.

THE ZOMBIES HERE ARE DEAF. THEY WON'T HEAR YOU BUT THEY WILL SEE YOU.
THEY WILL ONLY ATTACK YOU IF YOU LOOK HUMAN.
SO, BETTER ACT LIKE A ZOMBIE.

Alright, this was gonna be a funny one, for sure.
UUUGHHHH. RAAAAAH. MMMFFF. GGGAAAAHHHHRRR. HHHHMMMHHH.
While dragging our "zombie" bodies across hall, we were trying to look legit, coz the moment the zombies see that we were human, they will attack.

Then, up the escalator we go.
We walked to this corridor where a carousel was just staying there. Quite creepy actually. We realized that we aren't with a crowd. So we decided to stay put and wait for people to arrive. We decided to take pictures. Lol.
When people were arriving, we let them go first to see what will happen. It seems like there is an NPC at the end of the corridor.

OKAY, IF YOU WANT TO HAVE YOUR LIVES STAPLED TO YOUR LIFE BELT, JUST GO TO MY FRIEND HERE AND SHE WILL HELP YOU WITH THAT.
REMEMBER, ONLY LIVES THAT ARE STAPLED ARE COUNTED.

We fell in line to have our lives stapled. Turns out that only green lives may be stapled. So we decided to cheat. Oops. We have spare staple wires from our previous caught lives, we decided to use those and attach them to the belt. But we did not attach them yet coz there may still be zombies.

We went on.

Again, we arrive at a crossroad.
There are two NPCs. One at the right path and one at the left path. So we decided to listen to both.

The first NPC we listened to was at the right path. He wore a camo suit under an orange jumpsuit, he was in disguise, according to him

DON'T GO UP THERE. IT'S A TRAP. PLEASE JUST LISTEN TO ME. DO NOT GO UP THERE!

Then we listened to the one at the left

BLABLABLA I WAS TRAPPED IN THIS PIXIE FOREST THING BLA BLA BLA

Well we didn't actually listen to what he said. Instead, we observed. Those who went to the left path went back down and they were being chased by zombies. While those who went right, went up the escalators and were escorted to a Narrow path. *ting!* NARROW. The Narrows. DUH. We thought it was that obvious!

So we jogged up the escalator and went in the narrow path.
The NPC there was wearing an orange jumpsuit.

OKAY, YOU GUYS HAVE TO GO DOWN. GO STRAIGHT DOWN. AND DO NOT TALK TO ANYONE. DO NOT LISTEN TO ANYONE.
(This is where we made a mistake)

We walked along the narrow path and went down.

There was this floor and to the left was a door.
An NPC was there and he was wearing an orange jumpsuit

DON'T GO DOWN! THAT'S THE WRONG WAY! GO THROUGH THIS DOOR! GO THROUGH THIS DOOR!!! FINE! IGNORE ME!

According to Bea, it will lead back to the mall. Our mission was to look for the bus that will lead us to safety.
So we guessed that the bus won't be in the mall. We ignored the NPC and went straight down.

There was a door,

we went through it and I saw people piling around two NPCs in orange jumpsuits.
The two NPCs were smearing pink chalk across the forehead of the people.

THIS IS YOUR CLEARANCE. YOU NEED THIS TO KEEP YOU SAFE. YOU NEED THIS.

We were thinking if we should get our foreheads smeared or not. I tried to get pass them but they said we're not allowed to pass without clearance. While they're not looking, we went pass them and observed what will happen to those without clearance and those with clearance.

It seems that the zombies were aiming for everyone. Clearance or no clearance. So we went back to get our clearance.

We were advancing towards the zombies, they were ready to chase us. Then out of no where a kuya was bringing the zombies some water to drink. So while they were busy drinking, we ran.
A zombie that looked like Bruce Lee did a flip and everyone was like WHOOOO!!!
AAAAAAAHHHHH!! HOLY HELL. The zombies just chased us! They caught us off guard. So we ran. Damn it. We just ran and ran and ran until we reached a curve.

The guys wanted to sit, but Ced and I went to see what's up ahead. And we saw that there are lights and a guy in a Labcoat.

We thought that, this is it! We found it!

So we ran! We were celebrating!

Then Dr. Adarna, the guy in the lab coat congratulated us.

CONGRATULATIONS! YOU ARE NOW...

INFECTED

Wait, what?

WHAT??

WHAT?!

WHAT?!?!

Aww. We took the wrong path :( huhuhu.

We should've gone through the Narrows! Why didn't we figure it out right there?

Gah, I felt frustrated and down :(

But hey! We had fun! There were also these thingies at the end of the mission. I'm guessing these are the chemicals Dr. Adarna's experimenting on

We SURVIVED, but we were INFECTED.

This was the best experience ever!

It felt exhilarating! We were chased, we were scared, we got tired, our brains got all washed up from all the things the NPCs told us but atleast we enjoyed!

We got dogtags coz we completed with lives left!
