Chapter 196: 196
*CRASH*
The three of us tensed when we heard the gunshot. I instinctively pulled Jared and Kaley down since we heard the gunshot. I just caught a glimpse of a flash coming from the office we were trying to drive the drones earlier before I pulled them down. The window I carefully opened now has shattered to pieces and luckily none of us three was shot. However, our controllers for the drones fell and it made the drones lose control inside. The feed is showing darkness but a couple sun rays would hit it and I surmise that it is getting kicked around.
“Kid?!” Oscar shouted from below.
“Soone’s inside old man, be quiet for a few monts. I’ll handle it.” I replied.
“I’ll take a few people to head to the main entrance.” he said.
“Yeah, do that. Don’t open it yet though, there’s several of the dead inside the first floor and we don’t know what type they are yet.” I said.
After that single shot on which I surmise is from a shotgun, I thought of a few ways to handle the situation.
“I need to establish a connection first.” I thought to myself.
“Hey! We’re sorry we didn’t know that anyone was here! Can you speak to us? We don’t an any harm!” I shouted.
No response.
However, I’m listening to other sounds that might reveal where the person or persons inside is located.
“I’m Sky Ishiyama and we belong in a special unit. You could keep everything you have there but we need to kill everything below! I’m not sure if you’re still able to hear the broadcasts but they evolve or turn to sothing completely different. It’s a bad idea to let them-” I was cut off.
“YOU’RE NOT TOUCHING MY FAMILY!!!” A shout ca from the sa direction the shot was fired.
“Great. One of those.” I thought to myself as I made an exasperated exhale.
“You know they’re already dead, right?” I said in a calm tone.
“I’LL WAIT FOR THE CURE TO CO! IT WILL CO SOON! HOWEVER LONG IT TAKES! I KNOW IT’S COMING!” he said.
I saw Tatiana slowly making her way towards us and she’s giving her normal look of nonchalance. She started to slowly move her hands.
From the past week, I decided to learn more signs in ASL. I even taught my group basic signs to combine it with but Kaley and Tatiana were the only ones able to completely communicate not just with simple responses but actual sentences though still limited.
What I did to made up for it is I would read their lips to fill in the gaps on so things that made no sense since they would mouth whatever they were trying to say.
Jared and Lois on the other hand can only respond with simple signs but those two f.u.c.kers learned curse signs first before everything else so they could argue in another way without their sister noticing.
‘Want to do sothing to distract him?’ Tatiana gestured.
I just shook my head then Kaley looked annoyed.
I raised my eyebrows in question and the both of them looked annoyed at now.
‘What’s the point of us learning to sign if you would just use body language normally?!’ they both gestured.
“Oh.” is all that ca out of .
The two were shaking their heads in annoyance.
‘Oh.’ I signed.
“…” the two.
Jared was almost dying trying to hold his stomach and contain his laughter.
‘F.u.c.k.’ he signed as well.
“And that’s all you f.u.c.k.i.n.g know.” I silently said and I went back to the task at hand.
“The cure is definitely coming but sorry to tell you this but it won’t be available this early. It could take several years and we never know what state your fami-” another gunshot fired from the sa spot.
*BANG*
“NOT ANOTHER BULLSHIT TALK FROM YOU! I’LL BREAK MORE THAN GLASS IF YOU TRIED TO DO ANYTHING ELSE! LEAVE OR I’LL F.U.C.K.I.N.G DO IT AGAIN!” he shouted again.
“Again? What did he do again?” I thought to myself.
“Dammit! F.u.c.k.i.n.g listen to ! This is also for your own safety! We don’t know how long would it take for the ones below to turn into sothing else. Even if the ones below didn’t, you can’t restore sothing that has turned to that extent back to the way it was. I’m sorry but even if a cure was made, it’s already too late for your family.” I tried to explain.
*BANG*
*BANG*
*BANG*
*BANG*
He started to unload everything from his shotgun.
“AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! A CURE WILL BE MADE! THEY’LL BE IMDIATELY DISTRIBUTED AND MY FAMILY WILL BE BACK TO THE WAY IT WAS! I DON’T EVEN KNOW IF WHAT YOU’RE SAYING IS TRUE AND YOU’RE JUST TRYING TO GET INSIDE MY HEAD! NO! F.U.C.K YOU AND YOUR SPECIAL UNIT!” he exploded in rage. He unloaded more from his shotgun and I’m counting each one.
“Only 5 more…? hmm? Is he out already?” I thought to myself.
The ruckus that he is making is attracting a few to our direction but Oscar with the others below took care of it. However, the zombies inside are getting lively from the noise that he’s making.
I waited for a while for him to calm down and I made a very long exhale.
“Okay. It seems we have co to a disagreent.” I said.
“DISAGREENT?! BOY~ THIS IS MORE THAN A F.U.C.K.I.N.G DISAGREENT! YOU WANTED TO KILL MY FAMILY AND THIS COULD GO BOTH WAYS!” he retorted.
“I really hate unreasonable people like this.” I thought to myself.
“Alright, this is getting ridiculous and we’re wasting ti here. I want you to make a choice. Throw your weapon on the ground and let us kill the ones below peacefully or I’ll let my group below open the main entrance and they will put down everything that cos out for good. You making them ‘grow’ like this is not only a threat to you but to everyone else that is still alive. I’m sorry that what used to be your family is below there but this is sothing we need to do. I’ll wait half a mi-” I was cut off.
“DON’T YOU F.U.C.K.I.N.G DARE!!!” he shouted.
“Trust , I will f.u.c.k.i.n.g dare.” I replied.
“I’LL F.U.C.K.I.N.G SHOOT YOU IF YOU DARE TO POKE YOUR HEAD IN THAT WINDOW!!!” he c.o.c.ked his gun but I listened for the sound.
“Nothing fell on the floor like last ti. He’s really out. Even if he has another piece, I could shoot faster when it cos to that. I have Kaley and the rest here with too if he tries anything. Well… before we do that…” I thought to myself and I removed my helt.
I balanced it on top of my Tavor and I slowly raised it up. It’s really visible from the window and it confird that he’s already out.
“You’re out, right?” I asked.
He was silent.
“I’m gonna co inside in a few seconds. Don’t make kill you for such a stupid reason. I want you to understand that. I’m going in now, okay?” I said then I quickly revealed myself with my Maxim ready just in case.
I jumped inside with my gun drawn and the people with readied their guns and Kaley went with inside when nothing happened. The contained sll inside is horrible and I wonder how he could stay in such a place. We saw the person we’re talking to just leaning over the rails with the shotgun on the floor.
He’s about in the age of 40 and he’s wearing a hat and the uniform for this place.
“Figures.” I thought to myself.
I made a glance on the inside of the office and there is several piled of trash inside with a lone tent that is pitched in the corner. I looked back at him and he seed lifeless.
“I hadn’t got your na yet.” I said to him.
He looked back at and he said, “You look young.”
“I’m Asian.” I replied with a smile.
He made a small chuckle and he started to shake his head.
“I could take you to the nearest camp first if you wanted or you could make this place your own since you’re well stocked. I could let you borrow a car if you have a place in mind instead. I believe that the people below are not only your family. I have a list of people here and you can find them if you check their information here and-” I was cut off again.
“No need. I know where I need to go.” he said.
His face seems to be the one that has decided on sothing and tears fell on his face.
Next thing we know is that he let himself fall on the 1st floor but he survived the fall. The dead have already started to gather around him but his eyes are set to a figure. He hugged it tight but the figure he hugged decided to sink her teeth towards his neck but he didn’t make a sound. He just hugged her even tighter and the rest of the zombies inside decided to gorge on him. His body got torn to pieces and blood started to sprout from every direction.
“Is this what he ant earlier?” I thought to myself.
We just moved on from it since we won’t mourn soone we just t.
Kaley went inside the office and when I followed her after a few monts, I noticed that she’s wearing a bitter expression. She handed a journal and the last thing written made feel a mix of emotions. It’s just a simple sentence and the only thing written on the last page.
“Sorry, sorry for pushing you.”
