Code Zulu Alpha: Nerd in the Apocalypse!

I was just staring at the older dude– Mr. Castillo, as he was casually looking at everyone with a faint smile but I almost choked on my spit when his eyes suddenly darted in my direction. We had a brief moment of just simply staring at each other but he just tipped his fedora before turning to one of the people next to him.

I wished I have my own fedora with me to reply back but it was just far too late– and fucking weird, to acquire one and stare at him to hopefully get another interaction. It's just that I would've preferred to meet each head before the events started but I've only got to talk with a few of them.

With that said, I'm feeling something different from Mr. Castillo but I just couldn't put it into words.

'Weird old man…'

In which case, Mr. Cuervo finally announced the 15-minute break and he just went back to his place before the music took over.

At the same time, refreshments were made available at the back of the viewing platforms though there were vendors pushing carts or carrying food trays around to get to customers faster.

It was pretty obvious as to who in my crew instantly called for several vendors at the same time, and I had to switch seats with her so Kaley, Quinn, and I wouldn't keep passing her ordered food to her side.

I was now sitting between Kaley and Cynthia but since our 'family' was small in numbers, a mix of people was sitting behind us. However, when I turned around to look back, a great number of them were the people from Quinn's crew that Mikhail and I recently beat up.

I turned to them and smiled cheekily, "'Sup?"

I thought all would've been forgiven but perhaps it wasn't.

"'SUP?! DID HE JUST—"

"FUCK YOU, YOU FUCKING SHITFACE!!! I BROKE TWO RIBS—"

"I'LL FUCK YOU UP WHEN I HAVE THE CHANCE—"

"IT ISN'T OVER YET, YOU MOTHERFUCKER—"

"I'LL SMASH ALL OF YOUR TEETH IN TOO!!!"

All of them just started talking on top of one another and I barely understood a word they said, but the moment I raised my hand to brush my hair to the side, almost all of them suddenly flinched.

It prompted the laughter of their group that just watched them get beaten up, and Quinn wasn't even that interested to join in the conversation.

With that said, the 15 minutes quickly came to an end but Mr. Cuervo didn't appear on stage.

Instead, the twins came up while holding cute identical microphones and they greeted everyone before introducing themselves.

[HI, EVERYONE~! I'M RURU!]

[AND I'M RIRI~!]

[AND WE'RE HERE TO HOST THE FIRST PART OF THE EVENTS!]

[As you can see on the viewing platforms, we have our beautiful sisters and our handsome brothers that would stop at nothing to give their customers whatever they need. However, it seemed like we might've switched accessories on the way here…]

[Oh, no~! What are we gonna do now?!]

[Don't worry, Ruru! It's just a couple of buttplugs, it's very easy to find them, right?]

[B-But Riri! Ours almost look the same as theirs and the only way to find the difference is to pull it out and check the initials! Won't it be too—]

[Too what? Pleasurable? I kinda wish I put in the one left to us so the ones that would be coming for us would pull it out… Mmh…]

[RIRI! You're being too horny! It's not even that late yet!]

[Hngh… I just love butt stuff so—]

[RIRI~! Please stop or you're gonna make me horny too!]

'What the fu—'

[A-Anyway… the rules for the first game are simple!]

[The person who brings our plugs here in the fastest time will win a HUGEEE~~~ REWARD!!!]

[B-B-BUT~~~! HOLD YOUR HORSES! TO AVOID A STAMPEDE, ONLY TWO MEMBERS OF EACH FAMILY WILL BE ALLOWED TO PARTAKE—]

[AND NO EXCESSIVE HARM SHOULD BEFALL OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS! UNLESS THEY WANTED IT!!!]

[YOU CAN FIGHT AMONGST YOURSELVES AND EVEN STEAL THEIR ACQUIRED BUTT PLUG—]

[BUT THE ONLY PEOPLE WE'D COUNT TO BE THE WINNERS ARE THE ONES WHO BROUGHT THEM HERE!]

[OH!]

[WE ALMOST FORGOT!]

[BONUS POINTS IF YOU CAN FIGURE OUT WHICH ONE'S WHICH!]

[YOU HAVE TEN SECONDS TO DECIDE YOUR MEMBERS!]

[DECIDE NOW!]

[TEN!!!]

[NINE!!!]

[EIGHT!!!]

I was still shaking my head from the rules of the first game but I discovered that everyone in my group was looking at me. I didn't know why they were looking at me like we were in a time crunch but even Kaley was nudging me to hurry up.

"What?!"

"Decide on the participants, doofus!"

"Ah—"

Tatiana interjected, "I'm already going! Quinn's participating and I could care less about the other one!"

[SEVEN!!!]

[SIX!!!]

[FIVE!!!]

"We need someone quick and someone gentle!"

"Why would we need someone gentle?!"

"We're pulling out plugs from their assholes, right?!"

"And?!"

"We're not supposed to hurt them, remember?!"

"What?! They'd probably like it, just pull it out! It's probably lubed already!"

"That's why I stood up immediately. My hands are still oily from the food I–"

"Hurry up and decide on the last member!"

[FOUR!!!]

[THREE!!!]

"Fuck it, anyone will do!"

"You're not going?!"

"I'm not pulling out plugs and getting surprised if they don't clean properly!"

"Don't worry about it! They're all prepped before going up here!"

"How did you know that?!"

"Irrelevant!"

"So who's going?!"

[TWO!!!]

"Fine, I'll go."

"Are you serious?"

"Haa… yeah… no one else wants to do it so…"

[ONE!!!]

[READY~~~!]

[SET~~~!]

[GO~~~!!!]

To our surprise, Katya actually stood up and cracked her knuckles but before we even discovered who Quinn's partner was, all of the entertainers just rushed through the safety rails and vaulted over them.

I fucking thought all of them had a death wish but to surprise us for the second time, safety cushions were already placed below without our notice and all of them landed safely.

However, this game's difficulty just bumped up a notch.

I thought they would all just stay put and it'll be the weirdest game of scavenger hunt but this place continued to surprise me. Good thing cameras were installed all around and even drones were flying to provide ample footage.

With that said, Tatiana and Katya quickly followed after the crowd of entertainers wearing buttplugs before the rest of the participants in the other families had time to think.

Even Quinn was flabbergasted when dozens and dozens of dancers ran past her but she was already making her way down with a guy numbered "10", and they seemed to have a particular target in mind.

It only took a second before our team caught the same bunny lady that tried to sell to me earlier, and once her fluffy plug was pulled out, a fucking moaning sound effect came from the speakers.

[AAAHHNNNN~~~]

I didn't know what type of cameras were used but we could clearly see her gaping hole plop open the moment her plug was pulled out of her.

However, the plug that was pulled was only shiny and didn't have any inscriptions on it, but Tatiana shoved it back to confuse the other participants. I was nodding at her tactical decision approvingly but at the same time, I was being entertained and dying from laughter.

'Who fucking thought of this game?! Hah!'

Even Kaley was dying from laughter when the sound effects would come through to the speakers but it was actually an intense match.

This game wouldn't only test their strength and speed from catching the entertainers, but it would also test their memorization skills to leave out the entertainers who they've already pulled a plug from.

It didn't help when the entertainers would just run in different directions so there should be some strategy involved.

Intuition might also come into play but it was more likely based on luck if the people wearing them didn't know it was the plugs that needed to be uncovered. However, the more entertainers you catch, the more your chances of finding where the plugs in question were.

At this point, two minutes had passed but it was still as chaotic as it started.

Looking at Quinn at her partner, they didn't employ the same tactics as Tatiana and Katya, but they've already collected a lot of plugs that had the color scheme enough to fill two Infinity Gauntlets.

I guess they deemed it would be too much work to plug it back in the entertainer that was trying to wiggle away, so they just kept their plug as a souvenir.

It would've been easier to separate them from the ones that didn't have a plug on but some of them were just too thicc to ascertain if they were wearing something or not. It would take catching them and spreading their cheeks open just to be sure and it would take a bit of time, but the majority of the people in the viewing platforms were fucking satisfied.

However, while we were still watching the event unfold, someone from the Rivas family ran up to the stage and handed over a golden plug with the inscription "RR" on it. Their team was just under the radar the whole time but once a quick replay of what they did was shown on the screen, it couldn't be more obvious why they were so quick to find the first one.

There was a huge difference between the male and female entertainers and they opted for the most logical choice.

[CONGRATS TO THE RIVAS TEAM FOR FINDING THE FIRST ONE! ARE YOU GONNA TRY AND GUESS WHICH ONE THIS BELONGS TO?!]
