Adel fell silent, as if he didn't want to say everything, but then he said,
"This walkie-talkie I have has been with me since the beginning of the story. I know there were attacks and battles there, but things are quiet now. I know a long story, but I don't have time to tell it now.
It confirms that it all started there.
All we want is to get close enough to the place so we can go down and see if there's any enough evidence to lead us back to where it all began."
On the other side, the farm looked as if it had been bombed, judging by the thick smoke and fog. There were footsteps approaching.
"Dad, that's enough. I'm tired of walking. Where are we going?"
Wael said, but his father stopped him, putting his hand over his mouth as a warning.
They looked around. Things were out of control. They found the remains of a police car and an empty tank in front of it.
They approached slowly. They heard the sound of someone dying nearby, as if he was trying to hide his voice. They looked around but saw no one.
Then they heard a gunshot that shook the air and terrified them. The father gestured to Wael as if to say, "What was that?" But Wael already knew where the sound was coming from; it was coming from inside the tank.
Wael was preparing to climb onto the tank, but his father stopped him, his eyes bulging with anger, as if to say, "Don't move from here!"
The father jumped onto the tank and looked around, then down, but everything was very blurry. Suddenly, the tank's cannon moved, and the father fell onto the open muzzle of the tank, nearly falling inside as it spun.
But there was something even more terrifying than the cannon moving on its own.
Because he found the body of a soldier who had died, parts of his body decomposing, but it seemed he had actually transformed.
The father screamed,
"Get away from me, you son of a bitch!"
From what he saw, it appeared the soldier had somehow contracted a disease and died inside the tank. He began to move as soon as he heard their voices around the tank, causing his body to somehow move the arms inside the tank, making it spin.
The father couldn't remain silent any longer. He was on the verge of falling as the dead man tried to bite his face, drawing ever closer while the tank's gun rotated.
Luckily, as the father began to push the soldier away, the soldier pressed a button, suddenly stopping the gun.
When that happened, more of the father slid down, and he knew he was going to die. The soldier's saliva, mixed with blood, splattered all over his face.
But at the last moment, Wael pulled him by the foot out of the tank's hatch, shouting, "Baba!"
As soon as he was out, Wael looked at his father's body, fearing the soldier might have bitten him. He was terrified; his face was covered in blood, which had run down his neck and chest. But Wael reassured him, saying,
"Don't worry, I'm fine. It's his blood, not mine."
The father looked at Wael's hand, which held an iron rod that had been near the tank.
Wael looked silently, and his father understood what was going through his mind. But he didn't want him to do it, so he took the metal rod, looked inside the tank, and repeatedly brought the iron rod down on the neck of the living dead man, screaming, "Death! Death, you son of a bitch!" until his head was severed.
But it stuck to the helmet with the rod on it, flew out, and landed at their feet. The terrifying thing was that the head was still moving and trying to bite them.
Chaos ensued, and the two of them started jumping around, trying to push the severed head away.
But Wael kicked the head away, and the two of them gasped for breath. They looked at each other.
Then they both burst into hysterical laughter until they cried.
On the other side, Adel and his companions had arrived in front of the barn.
There, Adel got out, looking at the wrecked police vehicles and the stench of the decomposing bodies of policemen.
Adel looked at the barn, standing behind it, and remembered Omar's words, describing in his report what happened in that barn and the terrifying things that occurred there,
were interrupted by Malik, who, after looking at his phone, pointed to a program indicating that the area was extremely dangerous.
He approached Adel and showed him the phone, saying,
"This area is part of a red zone..."
Adel looked at the phone. "What does that mean? I don't understand."
