Chapter 4: The Brink of a Revolution

Skyler followed the agent up to the ground. On the surface, there was a plane on standby, and Skyler noticed that there were an army guarding the entrance of the gated wall. Several soldiers were in war machines, and there were combat planes floating in the air. There was also a visible but transparent barrier around the area of the wall. Skyler boarded the plane. 
The agent ordered, "Make way for the plane."
 Then a minor opening was made at the top center part of the barrier just for the plane to fly out. The plane ascended from the ground to the sky and flew through the opening of the barrier. Skyler looked down. Suddenly, he was in shock. He saw hundreds of people in front of the wall, trying to break in. They were like zombie hordes in Skyler's eyes. As the plane flew the opposite direction of the facility, Skyler saw more and more people heading towards where the facility was located. Restraining himself from the curiosity, Skyler sat tight during the rest of the plane ride.
After a couple hours of flying across the sea, the plane landed on an unknown island. The ground that the plane landed descended again underground. Then, Skyler was escorted to the bunker where the president was evacuated.
Shaking the President's hand, "It's an honor to meet you again Mr. President" said Skyler.
"It's an honor for me too. It's been eight years since we have last met during the war, right?" replied the President. "Now let's caught to the chase. The world is in chaos right now, but we do not know how this happened. It seems like the citizens of the United States are controlled by an unknown force and are ordered to seize a specific place," explained the President urgently.
"Let me guess. Is it the place, which I was just rescued from, and where the X-bomb is secured?" Skyler inquired.
"Correct," said the President.
"And you want me to figure out how and why this is happening?" inquired Skyler again.
"As I expected. My decision for you to investigate this case wasn't flawed," said the President with confidence, "Almost everyone's manipulated. Soldiers, policemen, guards, the military. They are taking over our weapons, the barrier will not hold much long, but in this state of peace, we cannot kill our innocent civilians. Please help us to figure out how to stop this chaos without any damage," pleaded the President. "We have captured a live body and kept it locked up in the lab downstairs. Please go examine the body and figure out the problem."
Skyler was escorted to the lab where the manipulated human was locked up. He examined the body but did not see any problems.
"Hmm....That's odd. I can't find anything unordinary from him," Skyler said in a voice of shame. But suddenly, he noticed the man head the aSync equipped around his neck. "Wait, could it be?" Skyler quickly took off the collar from the man, disassemble the product, and found a microchip inside. He inserted the chip in a computer and scanned through the program. Suddenly, the computer monitor screen changed and a familiar person popped up on the screen.
"I guess you found the reason of this chaotic revolt," It was Adam, the founder of Adam's Company. "I have planted a virus in the aSync and waited for this day to come. You won't be able to destroy or remove this virus. This virus is invulnerable to anti-virus programs because it mutates and adjusts and adapts in seconds. This virus is literally perfect. Finally, I am able to seize the X-bomb and gain power over the whole world." As Adam cruelly laughed away, the monitor went blank and the chip destroyed by itself.
