"Hmm, did the lights go out? Could it be a nuclear strike? Unlikely, I'm quite alive..." - All sorts of thoughts swirled around in my head, but I couldn't confirm anything as I simply wasn't capable of leaving this place. With no light in the ward, it was dark and.... Wait... If the power's out, then...
I looked at the door and smiled, crawling toward it, it was a little hard, but I didn't have much of a choice. This might be my only chance.
I crawled over to the door, and taking hold of the bottom door ledge with my fingers began to pull slowly.
«It opens. - I whispered. The door slowly opened, as expected, the locks were electric. I had seen the staff use key cards to unlock the locks before. Normally the backup power would have kicked in and no one would have been able to open the doors, but for some reason the backup power didn't kick in, which meant the doors were fully unlocked.
When I opened the door a little, I began to hear various sounds, screams and sobs. When I looked through the ajar, I saw a real massacre. A lot of patients were attacking doctors and staff, it was chaos, there was a lot of blood and there were several bodies on the floor. I didn't leave the room, it wasn't time yet, so I closed the door and waited.
After waiting about five minutes, I opened the door again and listened.
«It seemed quiet. - I mumbled. I opened the door a little more and looked out into the hallway. There was a horrible sight, a few bodies lying there, and a lot of blood, but there didn't seem to be anyone alive.
I sighed and started to crawl out of the room.
«Oh, shit. - I got blood on my hand. Those violent patients made a mess of things. The wing I was in had rooms for special patients who were either very violent or completely out of it. In short, it was a place for scum. They even kept psychotic maniacs here, so it's no wonder they had a massacre.
I crawled over to the doctor's corpse and grabbed the key card, I didn't want to be stuck in this place in case the power came back on.
As I crawled, I kept trying to remember where the kitchen was, because I wouldn't last long without food, I had to eat something, or I wouldn't get out of here. Just as I thought of food, a bloody body with a torn arm came into view. It looked like it had been severed by something, a saw or something. But when I looked back at the arm, with chunks of meat peeking out.....
"What the..." - It went through my head. I felt as if my whole body was craving this meat, as if it would help me survive. The thought made me nauseous, but I couldn't help myself. I couldn't help but agree with my thoughts, because who knows where the canteen is, and I don't know if I'll find food there. And even if I do, I might not be able to eat enough, but this meat... It's like I can feel a drop of life in it, like it's what I need, and it kind of freaked me out a little bit. I don't remember ever wanting to eat human meat. But if I don't, I'll definitely stay here, and then I'll go crazy like the last Hunter, and I don't want that....
«Argh, sorry kid, but you're already dead, nothing personal. - I crawled closer to the bloody hand and swallowed my saliva. I had no appetite to eat the hand, even more so, it made me sick to my stomach. I wasn't much of a moralist in the past, so eating a person wasn't a big deal to me, but it was still a little unpleasant, the person himself kind of.... I'm not sure now. Okay, I've been there.
I clamped my teeth into the piece of meat and tried to tear off the
«Grrr. - The piece gave in and broke off, then I began to chew slowly, suppressing the gag reflex. The flavor was awful, ordinary raw meat with a disgusting metallic taste, salt would....
«Bha. What a piece of crap. - I swallowed a piece and started tearing off another. Piece by piece, I gradually nibbled half of the poor doctor's forearm. But with each successive piece I felt alive, as if I were getting younger and more alert. Gradually I began to feel that my hunger began to disappear and then disappeared altogether. It was the first time that had ever happened to me, or rather to this body, as far as I could remember Hunter had never been able to overcome hunger without eating. But who knew he needed raw meat? Maybe I'm some kind of mutant. Creepy shit.
I stood up and looked at myself shocked. I was standing without any problems, my whole body was light and young, as if I was really 25 years old, while before I felt like a dried up old man. On top of that, my arms were smooth like a normal young man's, while before they were bony like a skeleton. Amazing... I'm definitely an unusual person, to recover so quickly just by eating meat, it's impossible for humans.
Hmm, but the hunger will come back, then what? Eh, I'll think about that later, but now I have to get out of here. I'm fully recovered now, and with the skills from my past life, it'll be a cakewalk to escape.
As I prepared to leave...
