discussion, it was agreed that troops and police officers, encountering infectees who had progressed to the zombie stage, were now allowed to exercise deadly force. They were not required to try to detain these people since they were beyond help or cure. Authorities were advised that head shots were recommended since a number of infectees who were shot otherwise had reanimated a short time later. Interment camps were being established at a number of stadiums and armories, however, CDC doctors stressed that once a person became infected there was little or no hope that he could be cured at this time.
    So far only two cases had been reported outside the Wilmington area although it appeared that as many as one hundred federal employees could have been infected at the Federal Building in Wilmington. It appeared that the canisters that were retrieved from a sunken U-boat may have been brought back there by an unsuspecting FBI Agent and that one of the canisters may have discharged and then circulated through the AC ducts further infecting people. Police authorities were now tracking down all employees from that Federal Building to ascertain the condition of their health. With some luck the U.S. might be able to contain the spread of the virus if the general public listened to announced instructions. The fact still remained that Asia was a mess and how the spread of the virus could be contained there was not certain. Thousands were already infected and passengers from the Passenger Zero flight to Korea and Malaysia had dispersed and traveled to numerous other countries further complicating the situation.
    The United Nations was holding a special session later that day and doctors from the CDC were scheduled to address the delegations and bring everyone up to date on the Super Virus and it’s projected spread. The world was at risk of suffering a major pandemic of epic proportions, the likes of which had never been seen in modern times.

 
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    BACK TO WILMINGTON, NC
    Harold Mathews from the CDC decided to travel down to Myrtle Beach and talk to Gary and Reed, the two divers who had found the mystery box while diving the U-756. He was interested in learning more about the Wilmington incident and also wanted to take a break from the hectic schedule he was keeping in Wilmington. He met the divers at a local restaurant and they had some small talk before discussing their find.  They had found the box a short distance from the sunken U-boat and it appeared to them that the sub may have blown up from the inside based on how the metal of the hull appeared to be blown outward from the super structure. They used an air bag to bring the box up and decided they would contact a local expert on World War II and U-boats in order for him to examine their find. When they opened the steel box and ascertained that it contained some sort of canisters, they decided the box and it’s contents should be handed over to the authorities. Strauss said he would call the FBI and have someone retrieve the box and it’s contents for further examination and it was at that point that the boat Captain, Gary and Reed, departed and left Strauss to handle matters further. What transpired after they left was not known. Mathews asked if the canisters appeared to be leaking when they opened the box and both Gary and Reed replied “No.” Mathews also inquired if they were sure that the box had been on the U-boat prior to its sinking. Both replied, “As far as they could determine, as there was no other wreckage near the U-boat.” Mathews and the divers finished their lunch and they asked Mathews if he could fill them in on what had happened since they last saw Strauss. Mathews said a lot of the information was classified, however, he could tell them that it appeared that Strauss had been exposed to the contents from one of the canisters and that he became infected by what they believe was a Super Virus that had been developed by the
