Code Zulu Alpha: Nerd in the Apocalypse!

I made quick steps to navigate through them and one to three slashes finishes the job for one of the figures. I'm hovering at the side and not charging at the middle since it would be too dangerous if I got surrounded. Careful positioning does the trick though I would always keep an eye open for any surprises. Kaley would take shots on a few that obstructs my path towards the Raptor so I would always have a path to go back to them.

A zombie growling like a viking or the terminathor slowly made my way towards me but I juked and it crashed to one of them making it tumble and fall. I made a U-turn to avoid the one at my left side wearing a tuxedo since Kaley wouldn't be able to shoot it since it was right in front of me. I took a part of its nape and its head lost balance and it fell backward though it was still alive.

I jumped over a fence to guide a few towards me as I ran a few feet and jumped back again in the fray to reset my position since they are starting to clump. It's like playing a game of tag with a lot of elderlies. The ones that are in my vicinity are moving really slow since the faster moving ones are already taken care of from the initial drive. I notice my breathing starting to hasten so I decided to stop for now to take a small breather and not push myself too far.

I spun once and killed four that are starting to surrounding me. I flicked the blades in my hands since the blood covering them are much thicker and it started to get less effective and I hate grime on my weapons. I slowly made my way back as I saw Tatiana doing the same since the dismembered bodies on the road are starting to make the terrain difficult to navigate through.

When we rode it, Juan slowly drove it forwards as I grabbed a cloth to wipe my blades with.

"That is fucking awesome bro." Jared remarked.

"Heh, it makes me more tired though but we saved a lot of time. I'm at 420 now." I replied.

"Ayy~" he celebrated.

I started to catch my breath from the burst earlier and I started to look around. My eye caught a glimpse on a few figures on one of the houses but it moved when my eyes locked on to them.

"There's still people here." I said.

The three looked at me as soon as I said it.

I pointed at the house and to other ones that I caught a few figures of.

"What do we do?" Kaley asked.

"We finish clearing this small herd. We'll figure it out later but keep another eye open for them." I said.

"Hah! We're not the sentries bro!" Jared retorted.

Kaley picked up her radio and contacted Earnest and Kris about other people that might pose some danger and she asked them to be cautious.

When I jumped down the other time with Tatiana, the music changed.

"LA LUCE~ CHE TU HAI~"

I almost choked since the momentum of my charge changed. I could hear Jared laughing maniacally while Juan immediately changed what was playing on the radio.

"MY EX, GON' GIVE IT TO YOU! GIVE IT TO YOU~!"

The next music slapped so hard I started to time it with my slashes. Jared even started to shoot a few rounds out that timed with the music while we thinned the numbers once more.

"Good thing we haven't encountered that 'X' here, that would be scary as fuck hearing those heavy footsteps." I thought to myself.

It took us four more songs before we started to completely thin their numbers out and eventually clearing everything. A few doors started on opening and some people started to approach us.

"Thank you so much!"

"Are you guys military?"

"We're saved!"

"Ugh! This is disgusting but thanks to all of you!"

"Are you going to stay here?"

"Are you single?"

"Thanks for the help!"

Our group was showered with praises and then we heard an older lady crying.

She was first hugging what seems to be her husband but she removed herself from the hug after seeing a figure she was familiar with on the road. Her husband tried to grab her back but she quickly made a beeline to a lone dismembered figure but the crowd trying to praise us paid her no mind. She was crouched on the ground holding a head of what I surmised that someone that she knows. I remember it was the little kid wearing the school uniform that I killed earlier.

"MY BABY~! THEY KILLED HER~!" she wailed.

"Oh, fuck. Not this type of idiot." I thought to myself.

The sounds of celebration immediately halted which I welcomed since I they were making a lot of noise and my voice is getting drowned out trying to make them quiet down. They all stared at the older lady with a dismembered head on her arm with disgust and then her husband tried to pick her up from her position.

"She's not our baby anymore! She already turned to one of those things! If she's our baby, she wouldn't be roaming with the others like that!" he shouted.

"SHE IS! SHE IS MY BABY ANN~! THOSE SONS OF BITCHES KILLED HER~! SHE'S ONLY SICK! SHE'S ONLY SICK~! WE SHOULD'VE WAITED FOR THE CURE~!" she continued to wail.

"Shut up bitch!"

"Yeah!"

"Those are dead already!"

"Yeah! Shut up!"

"BITCH~!"

I was about to leave them to their devices but the crowd are about to lynch the lady wailing her heart out. They started to pick up small rocks to throw at the lady and the husband has a worried expression.

"Hey, fucking stop what you're doing. Aim those things at the dead and not at the living. She's wrong on all accounts but you don't just kill or punish someone just based on that." I said to the crowd.

She never stopped crying and she's still cradling the head of her daughter while sobbing. I started to board our truck but they waved me down.

"W-wait! Aren't you here to save us?" someone asked.

"No. I'm just here to look for a friend. If you have gasoline, burn the bodies to avoid further health risks." I replied.

The guy tried to say more but I tapped on the truck and told Juan the direction to go to. They were confused in what to do now seeing the pile of bodies on their feet and us leaving them. It was a very short drive and it could be easily walked into but I wanted to avoid a few dozen people surrounding us. I even called Earnest and the rest to drive towards us since the coast is clear.

We already passed by it but I saw no head peeking out from it when we're driving earlier. It's a big house enveloped by stone walls on the bottom half and iron bars pointing upwards on the upper half. There are a few greeneries on the side of the house and it is painted white with complimenting colors to provide contrast. I pressed their doorbell first to see some sort of movement from the inside and there was none for a few moments.

I was about to vault over their gate but I heard the intercom.

"Who's the fucking son of a bitch trying to wake me up?! I'm warning you! I have a high capacity revolver that is chambered in .50 caliber armor piercing, incendiary and tracer special round! It is also belt fed with a 100-round magazine on the bottom with a holographic sight and a red dot sight mounted on top with a scope that is also good for night-vision! It has fucking double foregrips and a bipod and a grenade launcher attached to the bottom and it is mounted and could be left alone since this whole place has motion sensors that could spot you and kill you in a matter of seconds!" The familiar voice tried to threaten me.

Kaley, Tatiana, Jared and I looked at each other for a brief moment and we started on laughing.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~!!!" I never laughed so hard in my life.

"W-w-wait Sky! That thing sounds fucking dangerous! Are we still going in?!" Juan was startled when I still tried to vault over but I started to laugh again when I heard what he said.

When I finally contained my laughter, I vaulted over again and I saw the window finally opening. There's another guy about the same height as me though with a longer neck and curly hair followed by a shorter lady at his back though they are both carrying guns which is very far from what he described earlier. He stopped when he saw me and his head tilted trying to figure out who I was.

"Hey dude, what's up? It's Sky." I said as I smiled at him.

"Wait, what?! That's you now?! Holy shit!" he said as he holstered his gun but his eyebrow furrowed.

"What?" I asked.

"If you're really him, what film did we watch in highschool and what varsity team I was in that are connected to each other? Only Sky would remember that." he said.

"This is too easy." I thought to myself.

"Drumline is the film and you are in the snare section of our highschool's varsity team for drums. Can you and your wife fucking pack up now and come with us? Kaley, Kris, and Earnest is here with us. Raphael is back at home too and we're about to go to Roi's mansion. I thought you would all come but only Rap did. I'm taking all of you with me back. We need to hurry up now since we will be driving for a while before we get there." I said as his wife, Trisha, looks at him while he's in a daze slowly turning into a smile.

He pointed his index finger at me and he said, "You son of a bitch, I'm in!"
