Code Zulu Alpha: Nerd in the Apocalypse!

Chapter 471: 471

Kaley and I spent more time in each other’s arms but we soon decided to sleep because we still had a lot to do for tomorrow. Well, when we woke up at the same time, we discovered that we had a few minutes to spare so we made the best of it. We were in the bathroom first but when we got out, Vera and Daisy just came out of their rooms along with Rin, Tatiana, and Cynthia.

“Morning.” I greeted them.

It was kinda an awkward morning when we met up with them because Daisy couldn’t look at me in the eye while Vera started to act a little bit like Tatiana.

“So, we only do it in the evening? That was fun though, looking forward to the next time.” Vera was now looking at me differently.

‘Oh no… just one-offs, eh?’ I thought to myself.

“Shh! We only talk about it in the safe zone!” Cynthia exclaimed.

“W-Wait, how are you two gonna explain that you came from this house?” Rin raised a very important question.

“We couldn’t just say that we f.u.c.k.i.e.d? We’re all a.d.u.l.ts, right?” Vera asked very straightforwardly.

“N-No… it’s kinda different here…” Rin replied, worried.

“Look who’s talking? You used to be so horny…” Tatiana was shaking her head.

“Wha-! I- It was just- I’m just learning to control myself a little bit…” Rin pouted her lips as she glared at Tatiana.

“A-Anyway… I could just say that I worked overtime on your tattoo. I did bring my kit but we didn’t manage to have more done… I promise we’ll do more later once you get back.” Daisy suggested an answer.

“A tattoo, huh? I think I might get one as well…” Vera commented.

“Great! If you have something in mind or if you want me to make you one just tell me, okay?” Daisy was ecstatic.

“Okay, the tattoo reason is enough. Just act natural and they won’t talk as much. Let’s head down?” I said to everyone.

Simply enough, the only person that looked at me weirdly was Jared while Marisha was almost throwing daggers at Kaley’s back when we went down. However, Jared gave me a hidden thumbs up while Marisha just sighed helplessly once we went in with our little alibi.

“Kid, Rod should be coming tomorrow at the earliest. Are you coming back to Monumento or do you have any other plans?” Oscar asked.

“I’d still bring my group to Monumento but I’d like to ask you to bring two of our clearing groups and a batch of soldiers to head to Malabon. As I showed from the meeting yesterday, they were more walls erected and they’re a tad higher than normal. You don’t need to bring back samples because we already have a lot but I want them taken down before they turn to something worse.” I replied.

“It would be bad because the tall buildings could act as pillars. Imagine what trouble they could bring once they reach that height.” Matthew added.

“It’s possible but that would take a long time. Nevertheless, we should clear everything we come across.” I replied.

“Want me to just take them all down? Where were they again?” Oscar brought out a map.

“They’re located here, here, here, and here… these two were smaller last time but they’re slowly gaining height and thickness.” I replied as I marked the spots we saw from my helicopter.

“Easy enough. I’ll bring a few skid steers but I think if there are some bigger machines left in that area, we could use them to clear them faster. The only issue would be those f.u.c.k.i.n.g ferals you’re talking about. I’m gonna need someone watching from above so give me Lawrence for the moment. You could spare him, right?” Oscar looked at me.

“Yeah, you could also bring Max with you since he’s with Marvin’s group originally. We’ve done most of the prep work yesterday, so I might visit you guys after we’re done with the other side of the Monument.” I replied.

“How about you? You’re coming with me or you’d keep on treating your daughter like a trainee?” Oscar chuckled as he looked at Matthew.

“Cheh, sorry bud. I don’t care what you think of me but that place is f.u.c.k.i.n.g dangerous. I trust them both but things could happen. Also, I don’t want to out-shoot you so… that’s that, heh.” Matthew looked back at Oscar, waiting for a reaction.

“Oh~ don’t f.u.c.k.i.n.g start with me. You just beat me once and now you’re acting like this kid, eh? We’ll have a shoot-out again later and we’ll see.” Oscar chuckled then he gave a hearty laugh.

There were some other things to take care of in our base but I have my people with their own jobs making this place run without my presence.

“Will we replace Max and Lawrence with other people since they’re coming with Oscar or should we go as is?” Kaley asked.

“Hmm, I’m just planning to put down more deadheads from the same spot while scouting more obscure areas with the drones but I-” I was about to continue but Mikhail cut me off.

“Boss, why don’t you bring Vera with us for the moment? Alex- umm- our designated marksman always had a spotter with him and it used to be Vera. She’s quite good herself but she’s more inclined with comms.” Mikhail suggested.

“Hmm, are you up for it? You could also bring your equipment to try and fish for the ones in Karuhatan because maybe they’re just looking for a voice that’s a little more feminine, we never know.” I turned to Vera.

“Okay, I guess I could take a break from the Radio Station. I could prep my gear in a few minutes.” Vera replied, finished her breakfast much sooner than us.

It didn’t take long before each of us went out to do our own jobs though Mauricio left earlier compared to us while Oscar was still gathering the people he would be bringing to Malabon. The convoy he brought was ready for war and he might just come and clear more than just the walls I marked on his map.

‘He even brought his SUV…’ I thought to myself.

We went for the same route we took going back to my place but looking at the walls of the dead from yesterday, it wasn’t apparent that they grew in size. However, a large number of the dead were trapped on both sides because they couldn’t pass through. It would be such a pain to clear those walls and it was the right decision for Oscar to bring a lot of people.

I picked up my radio and called Oscar.

*bzzt*

“Old man, we passed by the same thing yesterday. You’d have a few hundred to clear each wall, not including the wall itself so you’d better be packing.”

[Bah! I don’t leave my house if I ain’t packing!]

It took us a few minutes to reach the love hotel but as soon as we landed, I checked the position of the walls we made ourselves if they worked as intended. It seemed to be doing fine then the rest of my group brought out our equipment while Jared and Lois went in position to check for ferals roaming around the area. There seems to be none that got attracted to the noise we made but they never eased up because it would be ugly once one of them managed to break-in.

“I’ll bring a group down to check the barricades, kid. I brought more tools so we could better secure them.” Matthew mentioned.

“Yeah, go ahead.” I replied.

“They seem to be holding up.” Kaley chimed.

“Hmm… not quite. Look over there.” I was examining each one but I pointed at the one we made by the Monument itself.

Instead of it being almost the same shape as the rest of them, it had gotten much bigger and it started to creep under the train station. The height was now higher by a few feet and the shape allowed it to be climbed over by the normal ones either aimlessly walking around or falling over by wrong footing.

“What’s going on, bro?” Jared looked closely by using his scope.

“Are they mistaking it as one of their own?” Kaley asked.

“Yeah.” I replied.

“That seems to be the case.” Vera chimed.

“Guys, we got a little situation from the other side.” Lois added as he was looking at the other side of the road with his scope.

Looking through the scope where the number of the dead was starting to thin out from the other side, there were a number of vehicles that came in with armed individuals. Some of them seemed to be wearing part of military fatigues but we couldn’t confirm if they were soldiers or not. I’ve read a few initials but I would need to confirm whether they were the owners of the uniforms. However, they started to put down the dead methodically while one of them was looking around, using his binoculars.

“Let’s take a bit of cover for now and we’ll see what they would do next.” I said to the group as I made Lois run down to inform Matthew and the rest of the situation.

“Could they be looking for us?” Cynthia asked.

“Maybe, but it has already been a few minutes since we landed.” I replied.

“Could they be after the guns on the DDR Camp as well?” Kaley asked.

“Then they’re looking for trouble.” I replied.
