New Year Virus

Chapter 27

I was eager to unravel the mysterious origins of the virus, so I turned to Smith, who sat down and began to narrate.

"Let me take you back a few months ago," he started, the weight of the past heavy in his voice.

.....FEW MONTHS AGO.....

In the remote, frozen expanse of Russia's unforgiving wilderness, time seemed to take on a different dimension.

It was here that a group of intrepid scientists found themselves entangled in a race against time itself. A virus, ancient and perilous, lay hidden beneath layers of ice, a secret preserved for centuries.

This was the moment when humanity first glimpsed the dormant threat that would reshape its destiny.

Arthur, a scientist driven by unquenchable curiosity, led the charge into this uncharted territory.

Arthur was an elderly scientist, his age etched into the fine lines and wrinkles on his face.

Behind a pair of sleek, modern glasses, his eyes sparkled with a passion for scientific discovery.
He has a heavier build, not particularly fit, which lends him an air of experience and wisdom.

With every passing second, the virus, encapsulated within the ice for a millennium, grew more ominous. Its very existence held the potential to rewrite history.

"William" Arthur inquired with a sense of foreboding, "can you tell me if this virus poses a danger?"

William's gaze remained fixed on the frozen core, as if he could sense the urgency of their situation.
In this race against an invisible foe, every moment counted.

"I don't know yet Arthur," he replied, a weighty acknowledgment of the gravity of their task.
