Chapter 223
Side Story. The Beginning of the Zombie Outbreak
For Aiden, that day started as an ordinary morning like any other.
The loud alarm woke him up, he got out of bed, washed up, ate cereal, and drank coffee while watching TV - that kind of routine.
The only difference was the serious content flowing from the news.
"An epidemic..."
The nonstop emergency broadcast reported unsettling news that all of New York was being designated as a quarantine zone due to an unusual epidemic, and that it might spread across the entire United States.
Aiden lived in Pittsburgh, not far from New York, so he frowned as he drank the rest of his coffee.
If the New York mayor sent out a request for medical volunteers or manpower, he would inevitably be drafted.
Worried about whether he could refuse if the city sent a dispatch request, he knew today would obviously be a hectic day with many people who had escaped from New York to nearby Pittsburgh visiting hospitals in anxiety.
’Will my vacation plans be ruined?’
He was planning to travel to Europe with his girlfriend Jane, so the current situation was unwelcome.
Aiden gulped down the remaining coffee and hurried to prepare for work.
