An hour later when Alice was finished acclimating herself with her new abilities gained from the nanites which were just minor hacking of electronic components and energy conversion within the body, this may not seem significant now, but this could prove detrimental if used correctly. If given enough time and close enough proximity almost anything could be hacked, especially since the nanites were now learning the primitive programming languages of this time period, which is harder than it sounds.

After a brief scan of herself using the nanites Alice had gotten the basic knowledge of her abilities and how to use them. She noticed her abilities evolved more inclined to precision, speed, and flexible movement, while Zeel's evolved more towards strength and speed. This confirmed Zeel's conjecture that the body would adapt with the aid of the T-virus in whichever direction the body was used to.

The group consisting of Jill, Peyton, Zeel, Alice, and Terri then left the church and were trotting near a grave yard of sorts, Alice chose this route since it seemed the least zombie infested place. At the moment her and Zeel's nanites were currently running deep scans of their bodies as Alice's nanites entered a deeper stage of integration, Jill would try to b.u.t.t into their conversation now and then but they were too absorbed to mind her mild interruptions. Zeel was tempted to allow the nanites to begin and alter the T-virus and change it structure so they could get all the benefits without the aggressiveness and other setbacks present within the genome chain, but doing so without an in-depth understanding of the T-virus' structure would be akin to suicide. Zeel needed to find someone who had intimate knowledge of the T-virus.

All of a sudden Alice stopped and pointed a gun at Peyton, Zeel was confused at first but then detected the abnormality and also pointed a gun at Payton then shifted his aim to Jill while she took out her gun and pointed it to Alice. Terri was confused about the entire situation as everything happened in the blink of an eye. Zeel considered killing Jill and her friends right there and then but Alice signaled him to wait, almost as if she could tell what he was thinking but that is impossible.

Unknown to Zeel, the nanites in Alice allowed her to read him much easier as she would get vague impressions of his intentions, something she used to her advantage and also aided in her understanding of him. Considering what Zeel had done to Rain, Alice was more than prepared to fight it out with him even if it meant her death since she could not compete with him at half strength, much less his full strength.

"What do you think you're doing?" Jill shouts in a voice that demonstrated her anger at the current situation.

"He's wounded." Alice said "And the infection's spreading"

"I'm fine." Peyton replied.

"You should take care of him now. It'll be more difficult later. You know that" Alice turned towards Jill as she said this, hoping that Jill would see the potential risk her friend posed to the already delicate situation.

"No. If it comes to that...I'll take care of it myself." Jill said with resolution in

her eyes.

"As you wish." Replied Alice.

"It's nothing personal. But in an hour, maybe two...you'll be dead." Alice said to Peyton one last time before attempting to walk off.

"Maybe not." Zeel commented removing an antivirus kit from his back, "How long ago were you bitten?"

Alice paused and looked back "It doesn't matter if you don't do it out of kindness Zeel"

Then she turned and said to Peyton "If you kill yourself now you can die with honor, but if you take the antivirus from him you'll regret it for the rest of your short life"

Peyton looked down at the grown for a while before choosing to answer Zeel's question "An hour maybe two?"

"Well today is your lucky day. Here. The Anti-virus" Zeel said as he handed Peyton an injection with bright greenish liquid swirling inside.

"Wait this thing has a cure?" Jill called out not expecting that the virus that caused so much heartache had a remedy.

"Anti-virus is not a cure and it is only applicable 3 hours or less after a bite depending on the severity" Zeel replied.

"The one from the mansion?" Alice inquires with a questioning gaze.

"Yeah. Stashed it before we were taken a while back, which remind me got a female version to this suit, got a lot of perks alongside being bullet proof and all but can't give it you now, knowing you. You'll probably lose it after one day." Zeel said with a smirk much to Alice's annoyance since he was right. Alice had truly fallen in love with the fabric ever since Zeel lent her his band which could regulate temperature – never too hot and never too cold.

Alice then watched as Zeel administered the anti-virus to Peyton aware of his negative intentions towards Jill since the experiments they did on Zeel heightened his libido by a couple times over.

"I'm stopping you if you go too far" Alice said in a threatening manner since she could do nothing else, everyone here was an a.d.u.l.t and could make their own decisions.

Zeel looked surprised at first before smiling "Going after you would be a self-destructive move, not because you wouldn't let me since you probably would but because of our cautious nature. S.e.x would eventually turn into a battle of dominance and chances are we'd end up trying to kill each other"

Alice nodded to Zeel's conjecture as even though she felt drawn to him at this moment, she also could tell if they had excessive skin contact she would no doubt attempt to put down the horny dog.

"Ahhhh help!" The group's attention was drawn away at Terri's plead for help and then Zeel noticed the graves started to rise. Wasting no time, Zeel and Alice proceed to put the dead back in their graves but as the dead continually increases in numbers; they become too much so the group had to forego the hunting and do the escaping along with track star level sprints across the graveyard.
