Speaker 1: Welcome to another bone chilling episode of Dark Tails Uncovered,
where every story leads you deeper into the abyss. Tonight,
we continue with the gripping narrative of Zombie Water. In
our last episode, Sarah and her team made a harrowing
discovery at the contaminated reservoir, revealing the horrifying extent of
the outbreak's origins. Now, in episode six, The Broadcast, the
survivors decide they need to get a broadcast out to
the world to warn them what is happening and how
to avoid becoming a zombie. Can they reach the station
station in time to get the message out to the world.
Prepare yourself for a suspenseful ride as the survivor's inch
closer to the truth, where every transmission could mean life
or death. This is chapter six of Zombie Water, and
it's about to take you to the edge of your seat.
Chapter six, The Broadcast. The highway stretched out before them,
an endless ribbon of asphalt cutting through the desolate landscape.
The effective were behind them, the glowing reservoir now a
distant memory, but the tension in the truck was as
thick as the fog rolling in from the hills. A
constant reminder that the nightmare was far from over. Sarah
drove with fierce determination, her eyes focused on the road,
but her mind racing the thoughts of what they had
Doctor Harris sat beside her, silently reviewing his notes, while
Kevin and mister Evans kept a nervous watch from the
back seat, their makeshift weapons close at hand. We need
to find a way to warn people, Sarah said, break
in the silence. This water is spreading beyond Owekwood. People
need to know. We can't be the only ones finding this.
Doctor Harris nodded, though his expression was grim. You're right,
but most of the communication lines have gone down. The Internet,
the phone lines, they've been cut off or overwhelmed with panic.
Whoever did this planned it? Well? There has to be something,
mister Evans trying him, his voice edged with desperation. A
radio station, a TV broadcast, anything that can reach people.
We can't just sit here and wait for this to
get worse. Kevin, who had been quietly listening, suddenly perked up.
What about that old emergency broadcast station, the one they
use for the civil defense back in the day. It's
near the mountains, not too far from here. My dad
mentioned it once, said it was designed to survive just
about anything. Sarah glanced at Kevin in the rear view mirror.
Do you know where it is? Not exactly, Kevin admitted,
but I remember him saying it was hidden, design to
be off the grid. It's somewhere near the old radio
towers and Blackstone Peak. Blackstone Peak, Sarah repeated quickly, that's
about thirty miles from here. We can be there in
about an hour if we push it, then that's where
we're going. Tarta, Harris said firmly. If we reached the station,
we can warn people, maybe even reach someone who can
help us fight this. With a plan in place, the
tension in the truck eased slightly, though the urgency of
their mission weighed heavily on them. They had a destination,
but no guarantee that the broadcast station would still be operational,
or that they would reach it before the infection spread further.
The miles that buy. As they drove towards the mountains,
the road winding through the thick forests and rocky outcrops,
the landscape grew more rugged, the trees closing in around
them like silent sentinels. The further they went, the more
eyes they became, the signs of civilization, dwindling until there
was nothing but wild, untamed wilderness. At last they reached
the base of Blackstone Peak. The truck rumbled to a
stop on the narrow dirt road that wound up the mountain,
Flanked on both sides by dense forests. The towering radio
ant hadders loomed above them, their metal frameworks barely visible
through the thick mists that clung to the mountain side.
This is it, Kevin said, pointing up to the mountain.
The station should be somewhere near the top. Sarah shut
off the engine and the group climbed out, their breath
misting in the cold air. Silence of the forest was unnerving,
broken only by the distant cry of a bird or
rustling of leaves in the wind. The mountain seemed to
press in on top of them, its sloped, steep and foreboding.
We need to move fast, Sarah said, checking our weapon
effective finders here will be trapped. They began the ascent,
following the narrow road as it wound up the mountain.
The climb was steep, the air growing colder and thinner
as they gained altitude. The mists swelled around them, obscuring
their vision and making every step feel prettcarious. Halfway up
the road ended at a heavy rusted gate. Beyond it,
a narrow trail led into the forest, barely visible through
the thick undergrowth. This must be it, doctor Harris said,
pushing the gate open with a creek. The trail should
lead us to the station. They followed the trail, the
forests closing in around them. The path was overgrown, the
ground uneven and slippery from the mist. It felt as
if they were entering another world, one where the rules
of civilization no longer applied. The only sound was the
crunch of leaves and twigs on the foot, the occasional
snap of a branch in the distance. After what found
like an eternity, they emerged into a small clearing. There,
hidden among the trees was an emergency broadcast station. It
was a squat concrete building, half buried in the earth,
with only a small few windows and a metal door
that looked like it hadn't been opened in years. A
faded sign on the door red black Stone Peak Emergency
Broadcast facility, Authorized personnel only. This is it? Kevin said,
his voice hushed, I hope it still works. Sarah stepped
forward and tried the door. It groaned in protest, but
eventually gave way, revealing a dark, narrow corridor lined with
cables and old, dusty equipment. The air was stale, but
the facility appeared to be intact. They moved quickly, finding
the main control room and at the end of the
corridor it was filled out. It was filled with outdated
broadcasting equipment, analog dials, switches, and a large central console
covered and dust. A massive radio transmitter. Don't dominated one wall.
It's an TETA and TENDA connected to the radio towers
they had seen from below. Dr Harris immediately began examining
the equipment, flipping the switches and testing these systems. It's old,
but it might still work, he said, his voice filled
with cautious optimism. Kevin found a stack of emergency broadcast
tapes in a nearby cabinet. We can use these, he said,
holding up one of the tapes labeled National Broadcast National
Emergency Broadcast Civil Defense Alert. If we can get this playing,
it should broadcast on all frequencies AMN and FM. Do it,
Sarah urged as her eyes scanned the room for anything
else useful. We don't know how long we have got
before the effective catch up to us. Kevin carefully loaded
the tape into the player and press play. The machine
world into life and a low hum filled the room.
As the tape began to spin. Dr Harry suggested the
frequency dials, aligning them to broadcast on every available channel.
For a moment, nothing happened. Then the speakers crackled and
a deep, authoritative voice filled the room. This is a
civil defense alert. This is not a test. A state
of emergency has been clared. Citizens are advised to remain indoors,
avoid contact with contaminated water sources, and stay tuned for
further instructions. The voice echoed through the facility and the
realization of what they achieved settled over the group. They
had done it. They had sent out a warning, a
message that would reach anyone still able to listen. But
their moment of triumph for short lived lived. The speakers
suddenly crackled, with the interference and broadcasts cutting out, replaced
by a low gutt or growl. The lights flickered and
the hum of the machines grew louder and more distorted.
What's happening, Kevin asked, fear creeping into his voice, Doctor Harry.
His face paled the signal, someone's jamming it. The growl grew,
the growl. The growl grew louder, filling the room with
a melacing presence. Then through the static, a new voice emerged,
a cold and motionless voice that sent chills down their spines.
Your efforts are futile. The world will burn and nothing
will stop it. Sarah's bud ran cold. Who is this?
The voice ignored her question, continuing its chilling monologue. You
have meddled in forces beyond your understanding. The water is
just the beginning. Soon all will fall, and those who
remain will serve as a new order. Who are you?
Sarah demanded, but the voice simply laughed, a sound devoid
of humanity, filled of malice. Then, as suddenly as it started,
the transmission cut out. The room fell silent, lights flickering
once more before the stable. The group stood frozen, the
weight of the message pressing down on them like a
pressing down on them like a physical force. Doctor Harris
was the first to speak, his voice shaky. We need
to leave now. Without another word, they turned and fled
the station, their footsteps echoing through the narrow corridor as
they raced back to the track outside. The mist had thickened,
the forest around them, growing darker, more oppressive. The sense
of being watched was overwhelming, as if unseen eyes were
tracking their every move. They piled into the truck and
Sarah gunned the engine, tearing down the mountain road as
fast as she dared. The radio in the truck crackled
with static, but the chilling voice from the station was gone,
leaving only the sound of their own ragged breath. As
they reached the base of the mountain, Kevin finally spoke,
What do we do now? If they're watching us, they
can cham our signal. We keep fighting, Sarah said, firmly,
though our heart powdered with fear. We find out who's
behind this, and we stop it, stop them before it's
too late. Doctor Harris nodded, though his eyes were filled
with doubt. We've brought ourselves some time. But whoever that was,
they're serious and they're not going to stop until they
destroyed everything. The truck sped down the highway, the landscape
rushing past in a blur. The battle was far from over,
and the enemy they faced was more dangerous than they
had ever imagined. That they had sent out a warning,
a call to arms for anyone still out there. As
long as they were still standing, there would fight. They
would find the source of the infection, exposed to truth,
and stop the shadowy figures. It's a m M m
