Faint sunlight pierced through the high stained glass windows of the cathedral, and laid its shadows on the pine coffin painted in black. A caucasian lady in a black veil kneeled down, covering her mouth with a cold hand. She forced her sobs back, while hugging a little boy next to her.” “… Mama?” “Yes?” “Does God love everyone?” “God…” The lady took a trembling breath, saying hoarsely, “God loves all living creatures, and so bestowed his only son to us, so that none of his believers would perish, and instead gain an everlasting life…” “Then why did we lose our freedom instead, and suffer from pillaging and imprisonment?” “…” “Does that mean that we were born unequal?” The doors behind the lady burst open, and countless figures rushed into the cathedral, and hooting and yelling sounded through the hall. The lady only had time to pull the pendant off her neck and shoved it into the little boy’s hands, before getting caught by a few soldiers dressed in full military gear and dragged backwards forcibly. “Run, run away quickly!” The struggling lady’s shouts pierced through the chaos. “Quick! Run! Leave this place!” “Don’t turn back, don’t give up!” “Mama loves you! …” The cathedral collapsed in a loud bang, and flames blazed up, shooting dark grey smoke into the sky. Screams and cries faded away, and the wind scattered the ashes across the vast and desolate land. On the field, the little boy was running as fast as he could, and behind him were soldiers and hounds chasing tightly after him. A sea of light gradually appeared in front of him, and an enormous city came into view below the cliff. With the soldiers shouting furiously behind him, the boy leapt! Wild winds whistled past his ears, and lifted up the pendant on his chest. Rapidly falling, the little boy closed his eyes. The last thing reflected in those black eyes was a lonely, cold, and endless night. “The dead would be resurrected, and have their everlasting life —” In his heart, he recited. “Amen.” * Year 2019, City T. “… Ah…!” A young man sat up in the dark. The next moment, a sharp pain shot through his every nerves like a current, and the dizziness from the pain caused him to retch instantly. However, having not eaten anything for a day, there was nothing in his stomach for him to vomit out. Other than the intense contractions of his organs, nothing else happened. After awhile, he finally calmed down as he panted. Focusing his vision with some effort, he discovered that he was in a cramp and dark cell, and a dim light shone from beyond the metal bars. … What is this place, a prison? Why am I here? He tried to search through his muddled mind for any useful information, but he could not even recall his own name, and just by thinking, his head pounded unbearably. When he was about to try pushing himself off the low bed, footsteps and voices suddenly sounded from outside the cell. “… Searching through the entire city for 3 days but we didn’t find any live ones. Is it because Omega scents are especially attractive to zombies…” “Apparently, Alphas are the same. Only the useless Betas are safe.” “Forget it, these few Omegas should be considered enough for the completion of our mission…” The lock clanged, followed by the grinding shriek of the cell door opening. Two soldiers walked into the room, and within the dim light of the corridor, they could vaguely see a thin body lying on the bed. He looked lifeless, and his chest did not seem to even move. “Don’t tell me he’s dead.” A finger from a hand in fingerless glove reached under the man’s nose, then, according to their training, he searched for a
