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