‘Kill Everything That Moves’ Part 18

THE BUNKER
The military compound rose from the wasteland like a steel tomb—its blast doors scarred with claw marks that shouldn’t exist at this height.

As we disembarked, Commander Daniel’s greeting chilled me:

“Welcome to Site X-Ray. Where we weaponize the truth.”

The briefing room walls pulsed with holograms—satellite feeds showing the ship’s underbelly. But something was wrong.

The tendrils weren’t just harvesting.

They pulsed rhythmically, pumping black sludge into the Earth’s crust.

“It’s terraforming,” Danny gasped. “Turning our planet into… something else.”

THE COMMANDER’S REVELATION
Daniel activated a new screen. Security footage showed a team of soldiers returning from a scouting mission—alive, unharmed.

Then the timestamp jumped.

The same men now stood perfectly still, their eyes black voids. One by one, they dissolved, their remains funneling upward.

“This was 72 hours ago,” Daniel said. “They weren’t attacked. They volunteered.”

A murmur of horror.

“Why?” Avva demanded.

The screen changed. A close-up of a soldier’s face—his lips moving in sync with…

Eva’s humming.

THE NEW ORDERS
John distributed neural disruptors—heavy, cold things that weighed my soul down.

“Rules of engagement,” he barked.

Shoot anything that moves (Human confirmation required)

Avoid acid rain at all costs

Report all ‘singing’ immediately

Ocean checked his rifle. The power display flickered with three letters:

E-V-A

He showed me silently. We said nothing.

THE WHISPER IN THE DARK
That night, as others slept, I found Commander Daniel in the armory—injecting himself with a vial of black fluid.

“It’s not an invasion,” he whispered, eyes gleaming. “It’s an upgrade.”

Behind him, the walls pulsed like a heartbeat.

And from the vents came the sound of a child giggling.
