Chapter 260: 260
Kaley is forming a devilish smile while Tatiana just had shivers down her spine.
“Anyway, let’s open those stores over there too. They have those little plastic pots where a seed could be planted. I’m gonna have a small assignnt for the kids at ho too. Teaching them small things like this could benefit everyone. They’d also have more things to do at ho when they get bored. So households at Woodlands could also start this little project.” I said.
“I rember you saying we’d only have 150 people. It seems like you’ve taken more than several tis of it.” Kaley said.
“Yeah. Let’s just say that they’ll be more like acquaintances rather than real friends. It’s more like a mutual benefit but we’re the one giving a bit more. Everything will pay off in the end so it’s all just a large investnt. Let’s just hope they don’t ruin that chance. We could survive on our own but you need a few people to do different things. C’mon, let’s help Tatiana over there.” I replied as I started to walk away from the store.
“Wait, I think I’m gonna get this pair of pants. I think this fits . This would be useful in ergencies when outdoors the way it is designed.” she said after hurrying to place it on her pack. I didn’t see what she took but the things here are also high-quality.
The truck is acc.u.mulating resources as each box or crate is placed inside. The trucks have now moved a bit forwards so the periter we’re guarding has gone a bit smaller. We’ve also loaded the power tools that I needed from one of the shops so we could make more items with a little bit of an easier ti. I’ve had to rearrange the way the items are positioned in the truck because the new ones that we needed are inside huge wooden crates.
“I think I might move so of these to the scrapyard after we clean that place up. There’s a lot of scrap there that still needs to be lted down and I think our gas is still plenty. On the other hand, I should just make use of the other building not occupied yet so we’d have more storage space. Hmm, I’ll think about it when we get ho, I’ll just tell unc to clean it up since he’s there mostly with Anthony’s dad.” I thought to myself as I’m still organizing the supplies we have.
The truck was finally full after so ti and now we’re covering the back part of it with tarp. I made an allowance for a few people at the back who could ride in though Alexei said he’d be on the roof on the truck with Jared.
We made our way to a dium sized residential area though it seed that people have been here for quite so ti and took so items. Most of the doors and windows were broken and there’s several rotting bodies strewn about that have head injuries.
“You think the items you’re looking for are still here?” Nikolas asked.
“Maybe. One thing to do to find out. Sa thing, always be careful. Unc?” I said as my uncle started to make noise from the engine.
We’re in the gate waiting for most of the ones in the vicinity to co out so we could kill them in the open. The gate having openings made it so much easier since we’re just stabbing through the gaps of the bars. A couple special ones ca sprinting towards the gate so we imdiately backed off. The design of the gate split its body into three equal parts like a certain heroine should’ve been when a caped hero sweeped in to catch her falling down in the air.
The job inside was easy enough and we’re lucky to still find a couple of handguns that are inside hidden compartnts. We found three Glock 26s, a Model 19 revolver, and two 1911s. There’s a couple of extra magazines for the 1911s. They’re chambered in .45 ACP and there’s a box of ammo included. There’s none for the other guns but I found a folding knife with the Model 19 revolver.
We took what we could fit in on our vehicles and we made our way ho.
We went straight for our compound to unload everything but we left the body in the Raptor so I could deliver it to the DDR Camp. The rest unloaded the truck while I was the only one who ca to the DDR Camp. The president was back sooner than we imagined and he was now brought to light to one of the things I’ve decided to do with the cult mbers or people here that are too much of an asshole and would rather watch the whole world burn.
So people were against and have voiced their concerns the first ti they caught wind of it but I don’t see them as people anymore. Why not make use of them to learn more about this thing rather than to simply kill them. The people I experinted on before have now more people to accompany them though so of them have already turned.
It was really random and I couldn’t identify the reason why so of them are still alive even if I fed them things. The ti it took also was different and the degree of infection also varies. I didn’t feed the new ones the things I fed them before but I made them test a few things if they’re safe for consumption.
“Hmm, so you’ve done it here, eh? I was still debating about it at my place since I know people would be against it. I shouldn’t have killed those f.u.c.k.i.n.g traitors so easily. I kept on forgetting that I can do whatever the f.u.c.k I want. My enemies will have a purpose aside from dying by my hands.” the president said.
“Mr. President! I think we shouldn’t do this kind of barbaric thi-” Roque suddenly sprang up from our conversation but one look from the president made him shut up.
“I didn’t let you go outside so you could yap your mouth. You shouldn’t be too uptight like that or you’ll just piss off. Why are you against this? I’d kill people the humane way if they’ve done good and suffering but if they were like those f.u.c.kers, I’d rather have sothing I’d get out of it.” the president said.
“Still… playing with people’s lives? How far have we gone?” Roque replied with a bitter expression.
“Then what if by doing this actually helped in solving this thing? You’re still not gonna do it? Also, we’re the ones dirtying our hands. You’d also benefit in it one way or another.” I added.
“…” Roque was silent as he looked down on the ground.
“This is the young man then? Mr. Ishiyama? Nice to et you.” Ms. M then ca from behind us with a smile.
She’s wearing military fatigues though she only has soft armor on. Her hair is still long and flowing up to her waist and she has this seductive aura I could feel she’s always emanating. She has a beautiful face and a s.e.xy body that could make people turn their heads towards her. Her skin tone is a little tanned and she has this refreshed look on her face.
“Hey, rested already?” the president said as he grabbed her by the h.i.p.s and gave her a kiss. She accepted and returned with her own but the president’s hand is going lower. The both of them never let up even if they’re in front of everyone. Roque cleared his throat before the two separated and got back on topic.
“Well I think I know why she’s here. Unless she could throw down like the president’s soldiers I think she was brought here since the president is still active even in his old age.” I thought to myself.
“The facilities are a little lacking but a little bird told that soone has a place that has still a semblance of what we have before all this.” she said as she looked at in a different way.
“Maybe, a little bird?” I asked.
“You know, one of the pilots, Avalos. I’ve been told that the place has it all and I wasn’t invited… Isn’t that a little unfair?” she replied as she looked back at the president.
“Here you go again. You should’ve co with Roque when you had the chance. That place, Woodlands is great too but there’s a lot of people there living in a single ho. Kid, if you don’t mind, can we two have a room over there at your place just for a night? We’ll just leave Roque here so we won’t upset your people.” the president said.
“No problem but I may need you to look at sothing I brought at the back of the truck. I bet your scientist at your place could learn sothing new from this. We discovered it earlier when we’re out for a run. I think this is the start of sothing. I saw sothing similar happening before but it was a long ti before I saw another like it.” I said and I motioned for us to go to the Raptor.
They were shocked at what they saw and surprisingly, Roque was the only one who couldn’t stomach the sight. He started to vomit on the ground after catching the first glimpse of it and he hurled even when I still didn’t have the chance to show him the mutation. Ms. M was looking at it more curiously rather than showing the sa expression as Roque. Her expression is still a bit difficult to explain but she’s holding it up more than Roque to say the least.
“The f.u.c.k happened to this son of a bitch?” the president grimaced not only from the sight but also from the sll it released when I removed the cover.
“So form of Bone Tumor. Normally it happens whn cells divide uncontrollably inside a bone. It would usually form a lump or sothing like a mass of abnormal tissue but this thing started growing itself… well a part of himself.” I explained.
“I don’t see a… lump… blergh!” Roque hurled again when he caught a glimpse of the protruding bones.
“It wasn’t like that before obviously since we scr.a.p.ed through it and removed most of the pus, blood, and the rotting flesh that covered it earlier.” I replied.
“This could be added to the list of things that they’re doing. They’re having a hard ti doing… well I don’t know that f.u.c.k.i.n.g right way to call it but they’re having a hard ti.” the president said.
“Well viruses are a pain in the ass. They mutate at a rapid pace so it would be hard to keep track of it. The mont it does, it’s a new thing already and they have to observe it again and do the whole process. Not to ntion when they make reassortnt strains. It’s a kinda a different way from mutation but it still make things f.u.c.k.i.n.g difficult. I wanted to get a scientist from your place but I think it would be better for them to work together. We still don’t even have the facilities to house them.” I said.
“You seem to know a whole lot of how they work, hmm?” Ms. M chid.
“I’ve read a few books about them but all I know is basic theory. I understand a few terms but if it goes any deeper than what I know, I’d get lost.” I replied.
“Oh~ I thought for sure you’d request one of them.” the president said.
“Well, I do have a different request in mind.” I replied.
“Hah! I knew it you son of a bitch! Tell then, if I could give it to you I will.” he replied after laughing heartily.
I was about to answer him but the radio buzzed.

“Hey, you done over there? I want to show you sothing.”
