Everyone was like a headless chicken and it was a complete chaos.
Two of Duke's men who have normal signs named Eagle and Hawk, immediately went into action and dealt with the zombies that were within a 5-meter radius near them. They even want to deal with two of their brothers named Sparrow and Vulture thinking that since they will turn into zombies, they better kill them while they still have human consciousness because they know that those two would want that too.
The two members of Duke's team that were twisting around on the floor have yet to finish their transition so Kisha does not allow Duke and the others to make a move because it is still unknown if this is an early awakening. After all, she has yet to see the symptoms that they are transforming into zombies.
This possibility is only 10% because there are times that a transition will happen silently without much shaking and jerking like normal.
Besides, an awakening can also cause severe pain in the body as if the internal organs are being stirred violently. The blood vessels would bulge because of the increase in pressure for blood circulation. Especially in the head.
It would feel like their head would explode at any minute as it forcefully and quickly stimulates the brain. Which will then create the central hub of the awaken's source of power. The Crystal Core.
After explaining this to Duke, she made him call all his executives so that they don't accidentally kill the awakened.
Duke made a conference call to his executives, once they started answering the call one by one, he turned it into speaker mode and made Kisha repeat her explanation.
After the explanation, she asks them to send those who fit the bill for a few days of quarantine. If they do not turn, that means they are successful. If they turn, they need to be killed.
One of the executives asks. "Why is the awakening similar to transitioning to a zombie?"
"It's because the virus and crystal core are one. If the virus eats the brain, then they become zombies and after it eats the brain, the concentration of the virus in the brain will then create a crystal core but if the virus successfully integrates with the human brain, positively. Then the human evolves and the crystal core will be the power source like a battery." She stopped and thought again because she thought that it was kinda messy so she said. "You can just think of it as Evolution, the other has a negative impact while the other is beneficial to us."
"And the only difference with their crystal core is that the zombie core will form after they turned and so, their core is impure. On the other hand, the awakened's core will form during the virus's stimulation, and in turn, the core is pure and has more energy in it."
Everyone understood what she meant and started working. These people are Duke's most trusted people that will not turn on him, Kisha has seen their trust and devotion towards Duke. He once said that these people were kids from orphanages, Duke decided to nurture his own people when he was just 10 years old, they all grew up with him and treated each other as brothers.
This is the reason why Kisha was so open with the information with them, she knew that they would not share this information with anyone without Duke's go signal, even if the one questioning them were his family.
These people are Duke's limbs, eyes, and ears. They all covered all kinds of industries that Duke would only need to relax and let them work without telling them what to do.
Kisha wished to create such a squad before but it was hard to find elite people that could be trusted, most of them wanted to be the head of the power and not be a mere subordinate so she gave up halfway.
