The streets of Lahore were eerily quiet, save for the occasional wail of a siren in the distance. The city that had once been alive with the sound of traffic and people going about their daily business was now a ghost town. The virus had spread rapidly, and the death toll was rising with each passing day.

People were confined to their homes, afraid to venture outside for fear of catching the deadly disease. Those who did brave the outside world wore masks and gloves, trying to protect themselves from the invisible threat that was lurking in the air. The government had issued strict guidelines for social distancing and hygiene, but it seemed like nothing was working to stop the spread of the virus.

Hospitals were overflowing with patients, and healthcare workers were stretched thin, trying to keep up with the demand. The city was in chaos, with people scrambling to find food and supplies before they were forced to retreat back to their homes.

The government was struggling to contain the virus and find a cure. They had called in experts from all over the world to help with the effort, but progress was slow. The people of Lahore were living in a constant state of fear and uncertainty, not knowing when the virus would strike next or who would be its next victim.

As the days turned into weeks and the weeks turned into months, it seemed like there was no end in sight. The virus had taken over the city, and everyone was living in its shadow. The people of Lahore could only hope and pray that someone would find a cure before it was too late.

Will and Shami stood nervously in front of the government officials, who were gathered in the grand hall of Lahore's city hall. They knew that they had only one chance to convince the officials to take their idea seriously.

"Good afternoon, gentlemen," Will began, "we believe we have a solution to the current crisis facing our city and the world at large."

The officials looked skeptical, but they listened attentively as Will and Shami laid out their plan. They explained that they had been working on developing technology that would allow them to travel to the next galaxy and find a new home on the planet Darox.

"We have built a fleet of rocket ships that are capable of transporting a group of survivors to the planet Darox," Shami added. "We believe that this is our only hope of saving humanity from extinction."

The officials exchanged glances, clearly impressed but still hesitant to make a decision.

"Is this even possible?" one official asked skeptically.

"Yes, it is," Will replied confidently. "We have already tested the technology, and it works. We just need the resources and the support of the government to make this a reality."

The officials deliberated for what felt like an eternity, but finally, they agreed to support Will and Shami's plan. They knew that it was a risky move, but it was the only option left.

"We will provide you with the resources you need to make this happen," one official said, "but you must understand that the fate of humanity rests on your shoulders."

Will and Shami nodded, understanding the gravity of the situation. They had a daunting task ahead of them, but they were determined to see it through. They knew that the journey to Darox would be long and perilous, but it was a risk they were willing to take in order to save humanity from extinction.

Will and Shami worked tirelessly in their lab, tinkering with wires and circuit boards, as they built the rocket ships that would take the survivors to Darox. They had recruited a team of experts to help them, including Lily, Alex, and Dianna, who were all experts in their respective fields.

Despite their expertise, the team faced numerous challenges along the way. Resources were scarce, and they had to be creative in finding ways to make the most of what they had. Technical difficulties also posed a major hurdle, as they encountered setbacks in the development of certain components.

However, Will and Shami were undeterred. They knew that they had to keep working, no matter what obstacles they faced. They worked long hours, fueled by coffee and adrenaline, determined to see their mission through to the end.

Lily, Alex, and Dianna were equally dedicated, working alongside Will and Shami to build the rocket ships. Lily, a master mechanic, was responsible for building the engines that would power the ships. Alex, an expert in electronics, worked on the navigation and communication systems. Dianna, a talented chemist, was responsible for developing the fuel that would power the rockets.

Together, the team worked in harmony, each member contributing their unique expertise to the project. They were a well-oiled machine, working together with a shared goal in mind: to save humanity from extinction.

As the days turned into weeks, and the weeks turned into months, the rocket ships began to take shape. The team made progress, bit by bit, until finally, they had built a fleet of fully functioning rockets that were capable of traveling to Darox.

It had been a monumental effort, but Will, Shami, Lily, Alex, and Dianna had done it. They had built the rocket ships that would take the survivors to a new home, a new world, and a new hope for humanity.
