Code Zulu Alpha: Nerd in the Apocalypse!

Kaley and I got back to our compound after a short walk and we found everyone else in the middle of their assigned jobs or was just about to finish up. The kids and the elderly were by the pool area waiting for dinner and one by one, we all gathered at the same spot.

With that said, we eventually had our meals and we had our meeting right after.

We talked about everything that happened in these few days though most of it just went over our building projects. It involved the checkpoints we buffed up, the monster truck, the RC Car that was still in development, and the weapon Unc– we were trying to perfect.

Everything went accordingly but it was pure fucking chaos when we went to the gym.

Kaley was already shaking her head, "Oh no…"

If seeing Bing in a referee's costume wasn't enough to prove that some shit was about to go down, I don't know what will.

They actually held a tournament-style fight and the reward would obviously be the first prototype of the Headhunter's Axe-Sword. Furthermore, what they also agreed on was that once Unc and I's collaboration work was finished, the winner of this fight will be bestowed the new model while the would-be runner-up would receive the first prototype.

No one cared that we would be able to produce more once we're successful since the matter at hand was as to who would get it first.

Well, the issue wasn't about our group fighting for a single weapon but the first fight was between Artem and Allan.

Yes, Allan.

I didn't know what the fuck possessed him to join such a fight and I quickly phoned in to request EMS. It would be better to call the mortuary or something similar because I was already picturing his head turning several times over after receiving one of Artem's punches.

After a short bit, it didn't take long before Bing stood between them and gave them a brief introduction, in a sense.

"IN THE RED CORNER– U-UMM IN THAT CORNER~~~ WEARING BLACK TRUNKS WITH A HUGE BULGE, A.K.A. THE RUSSIAN FANG, A.K.A. I'LL ONLY NEED MY KNIVES TO KILL YA, A.K.A. THE WHITE DICK, A.K.A. THE MOBY COCK, A.K.A. THE SCHLONG– ACK! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry, Katya I'll–"

"GET ON WITH IT!"

"Y-Yes… A-And on the other c-corner… Allan… Woo…"

Allan never looked so disappointed from his introduction, "The fuck, man! I wrote– Nevermind… YOU'RE GOING DOWN SCHLONG RANGER!"

Katya was instantly caught off-guard, "THE WHAT– Haa… I'll just wait for my turn…"

Half the crowd was already dying-laughing and the ones that came just to have their own routine done were now part of the crowd that was watching the fight. However, it was a fucking fiasco when the bell rang to start the fight.

Everyone knew that Allan had no fucking chance to win this fight and everyone was just waiting for the knockout punch to happen. Furthermore, everyone knew that it would happen in less than a few seconds but instead of Allan using his gloves, he used his feet instead, not to actually fight but to try to run away like his life depended on it.

"YOU'LL NEVER CATCH ME ALIVE, SUCKER! I'LL TIRE YOU OUT UNTIL YOU'D HAVE NO ENERGY FOR THE NEXT FIGHT HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

Well, it's just that Artem just stood in place after a few seconds of chasing after him.

"GIVING UP NOW?! HAH! IT'S WORKING! HAA… HAAA… IT'S FUCKING WORKING! YOU'LL… YOU'LL… You'll never catch me–"

Then Allan miraculously slipped on a flat surface and broke his fall with his head. I first thought he'd get knocked then I thought he'd just tire himself out from running around like an idiot, but what I didn't think of– Well, it's entirely possible in his case, was that it'd actually happen.

I was actually surprised that it surprised me that it would lead to this outcome.

The whole place was so fucking quiet though a select few were about to burst a blood vessel from trying to contain their laughter.

Luckily, the EMS that I called for arrived at the right time, and Allan was instantly treated as they left the scene.

In any case, the matches continued until the final match was between Artem and Katya. However, the two seemed to have made a deal before the tournament started and Katya just forfeited before the final match started. It was a little anti-climactic for it to end like that but whatever deal they made was only between them.

A few more friendly spars followed after them but Kaley and I started our workout.

Little did I know that I'll get the idea to solve the one-use issue Unc Zeidrick's Axe-Sword had.

It happened when I was running on a treadmill that was right next to our water dispenser and as soon as realization struck, I couldn't help but let out a smile that caught Kaley's attention.

"What? Still had the image of Allan tripping on your head?"

"What? No, I'm so happy looking at your boobs jiggle as you run that–"

"Stop lying! And stop looking at my boobs…"

"Fine, I'll do it later–"

"Be serious! What's on your mind right now?"

"Remember that I said I'll change the design of Unc's weapon?"

"Yeah, I remember."

"I just had an idea and let's just say he might need to dial it back to its original shape so it wouldn't be an Altor."

"Altor? Oh! The single-shot– Okay, I get it. But how is doing that solve it?"

I let out a smile before I walked over to the water dispenser then pressed and released the lever to let out water at different intervals, "See?"

"I don't–"

"That's how you squir– Ah! My back! Fuck! I'm joking! I'm joking! Stop!"

"You doofus! Try it one more time and I'll hit more than just your back!"

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! But yeah, I'll tell you later… let's finish our workout first."

"Hmph! Fine…"

I just let out a breath and I finished my run on the treadmill before moving on to the free-weights and machines. Time continued to pass for the most part and I cooled off with a lighter run on the treadmill compared to earlier.

With that said, I didn't expect Kaley to still be curious about my little epiphany since she asked about it again while we're taking a quick soak.

"So, what is it you found out again?"

"Really? While I'm soaping you? Can I at least enjoy this?"

"Hmph~ You can do both at the same time… So, what is it?"

I extended my hand to reach for the faucet and I slid it to the side to keep the water running and slid it back to shut it off. I did it for a few times in front of Kaley and she was starting to think I was duping her once again.

"You…"

"Listen, what does this thing, the water dispenser in the gym, and the thing Unc made in common?"

"Hmm~ If you think about it, they all have a switch that could deliver something once it's turned on… if we consider the… the spike thingy on that thing a switch…"

"Right! 10 points to Gryffindor! But what's the difference between this faucet and that water dispenser compared to that weapon? Don't think too much about it… The clue is me turning it on and off over and over."

"Umm… Oh! The difference is that you can turn this one on and off and that water dispenser on and off, and dependent on how much water is left on the tank, you could have a lot of… uses."

"That's right but since the canister for Unc's handiwork is too small to allow several uses even with an on and off switch, we use a bigger canister. It's gonna allow at least 6 uses before the wielder attempts to run back to get a refill. Do you know that thing they use to make sparkling water?"

"Oh! That! Those things are expensive! Especially the refills!"

"Well, you gotta learn how to do it yourself to save a bit… But yeah, I'll see if we could make something a little more slimmer than those canisters. Something just enough to fit the axe handle."

"Oh~ That's why you said that you two may need to stick to the original design."

"Exactly. Also, to be completely honest… That thing is just too heavy and too unwieldy… I don't get why they always try to make things too big. I'm not the strongest guy around in terms of pure, raw strength but I bet even Mikhail– even Artem would get tired after swinging it a few minutes in."

Kaley chuckled, "Weren't you about to say Mikhail and switched it to Artem?"

"Heh. I did. I'm not sure if that guy put all his stats on Strength and Constitution but still, I'm sure it was way over the limit!"

"True~ But aren't your stats maxed out?"

"Oh~ Don't start that talk with me or you wouldn't make it past that door~"

Kaley turned around to face me before grabbing my friend below, "Oh, really? What would you do to me? Hmm?"

"You know what I could do… Especially what that could do…"

Kaley let out a smile as she started to stroke me ever so slowly but she stopped right when my member was fully erect. I thought she wanted me to touch her too but she grabbed both our towels and quickly ran for the door.

"Kaley!"

"Oh, come on! It's just us here!"

"But–"

"Quick! We have a guest waiting!"

"Guest?"
