Code Zulu Alpha: Nerd in the Apocalypse! Chapter 331

Chapter 331: 331

Ben lit a cigarette of his own and puffed a smoke first before replying, “She is, trust . There’s a few things you don’t know about her yet but the mont the two interacted could tell you a bit about her. Why do you think she’s so f.u.c.k.i.n.g expensive? The answer is very simple but you must be familiar with this place to know.”

“Well, that didn’t give much…” Jared said, scratching his head.

“Is she really that important for us to figure that out?” Irene added.

“Well, we’re waiting for the next ga. Just take it as a little brain teaser.” Ben replied.

“But you already said we need to be familiar with this place to know.” Kaley added.

“Well, if you can read between the lines, you’ll get the correct answer.” Ben shrugged his shoulders.

I then began thinking about all of the things about her that I’ve witnessed personally. The group also gave guesses but they were all wrong answers according to Ben. I can’t for the life of figure out the correct answer but Ben revealed it after several wrong answers from the group.

“Okay, first things first. Can you explain why soone like her in that line of business looked like a ss after 30 seconds?” Ben started.

“Isn’t she just really turned on by Tatiana?” Jared replied.

“No, she’s only allowed to have s.e.x twice a month. One from a rich investor and one from her own choosing. I learned that juicy info from one of her colleagues. To increase her you know… ‘quality’, Mr. Cuervo placed a lot of strict rules for her to look like that. Well, she’s already beautiful like that but with the program she went through, she looked even better. Exercise, diet, a few lessons on acting, etiquette, and a few other things but never on the real thing. She’s really young too. I think she just turned 19 before this thing started. The number of tis she actually did it with soone is really few compared to the others so that adds a lot more value for her ti. However, I’ve talked briefly to one of the people that acquired her for the night and they said the experience was sothing completely mind-blowing. The amount they had to bring to solidify their ti with her got astronomical each month.” Ben explained.

“And they just casually told you that and you believed them? The only thing I believe from that story is that she received so sort of training.” I was suspicious.

“Every regular here knows that story. I even heard whispers that she was already getting trained even before she was eighteen. The mont Mr. Cuervo revealed her to the custors last year, his earnings from each ga increased and increased.” Ben replied.

“How could you even make soone follow strict rules like that? Did they own her illegally or sothing?” Kaley asked.

“Well… about that… it’s a bit complicated you see…” Ben scratched his head.

“What? Run out of bullshit to tell?” Jared taunted him.

“What?! No! It’s not bullshit, I tell you. Well… from what I’ve heard, she was actually… *looked around nervously* Mr. Cuervo’s illegitimate child…” Ben whispered really quietly.

Everyone was shocked except for Jerry.

“Do you even have proof from what you’re saying? I find it hard to believe that, you know?” I replied and Ben started to stamr.

“I have proof but I ain’t gonna tell you.” Jerry suddenly interjected but his expression changed as if he made a mistake speaking up.

“What?! You actually have?!” Ben looked at Jerry.

“Yep. W-well, I could be bullshitting. It’s just your word against mine. We never know.” Jerry puffed out a huge smoke.

“Nah, man. I doubt you know anything about her.” Ben shrugged.

“He’s telling the truth.” Kaley interjected.

I looked back at Kaley and she’s just looking at Jerry’s weird expression. I really can’t explain how Kaley could be so sure when reading people but this ti, I think she’s spot on because of Jerry’s reaction when she spoke up.

I’m not one of those people that’s interested in gossip but I was already invested in Cynthia when I saw her fluid movents earlier. Now I’m determined to know the proof that Jerry’s talking about.

“How much?” I went for the easiest form of persuasion, bribery.

“No.” he flatly replied.

“Please?” I then went for the most pathetic form of persuasion, begging.

“You gave up easy, eh? What happened to the ‘I’m gonna give you an offer you can’t refuse.’ earlier?” he chuckled.

“Pretty please?” I tried sothing much more pathetic.

“…” everyone else.

“Hmph! It’s not like I begged you to tell or sothing…” I then called forth my tsundere persona but Kaley imdiately attacked .

“What the f.u.c.k was that?” Jerry was confused.

I tried plenty more pathetic ways to get him to tell us the proof but he never budged. I really wanted to have sothing like him as an ally if he could keep his mouth shut like that. I think it was only a mistake of him telling us he knows sothing earlier because of the amount of booze in his system. I was about to bust out the big guns but we were surprised to see Tatiana and Cynthia walking back to us. Tatiana was now wearing her combat gear while Cynthia was wearing a mini skirt and a turtleneck sweater.

“Aren’t they a little too… quick? Nevermind…” I thought to myself.

“Hi everyone, my na is Cynthia…” Cynthia shyly introduced herself.

“That tall guy on the roof is Jared, that hot guy with a katana is Sky, that hot girl with big tits is Kaley, that- that cueball is Ilya, and…” Tatiana introduced us.

Cynthia made a little bow and she sat with us inside the truck. The atmosphere is slightly tense not only because we were talking about her earlier but also because of the number of eyes fixated on our truck. I thought we all telepathically agreed to drop the subject but we forgot about Tatiana.

“Hey, I just noticed. You kinda look like Mr. Cuervo, don’t you? Are you two related?” Tatiana casually said.

Almost all of us in the truck had a mini heart attack.

“What? Mr. Cuervo? Oh, I’m not so sure about that…” Cynthia replied weakly.

“SHE DOESN’T F.U.C.K.I.N.G KNOW!!!” I shouted in my head and I think that’s the sa thing everyone’s thinking.

I looked at where Jerry was seated but he’s already gone. Ben is like a stone statue from oversharing a very delicate subject.

“No one ever told you that? You two look kinda alike. Well, if he loses the mustache though, haha.” Tatiana asked innocently once more.

“Yeah, no one ever brought that up with . I wonder why…” Cynthia chuckled as well but she began to think by tilting her head sideways.

“IT’S BECAUSE OF- F.U.C.KKKKK WHAT DID WE GET OURSELVES INTO?!” I had another breakdown.

Tatiana dropped bomb after bomb of questions towards her but luckily Cynthia’s oblivious to connect the dots herself. It’s a good thing that Jerry didn’t tell us the proof that he knows and he fled the scene or else sothing bad would have happened if the secret he’s holding onto were to be revealed. Tatiana sensed sothing was going on from our expressions and she decided to stop asking Cynthia personal questions. She gave us a short glance first that ant she needed to know the reason later before changing the subject. They’re now talking about random things but I ford a question in my head.

“Does Mr. Cuervo knew the truth though? Also…” I had another thought.

I’m starting to form more questions inside my head but the players for the next ga were being told to listen to the rules. I glanced at the playing area and now it looked like an old school thermoter from cartoons since the huge circle now has a long runway extending up to the gate’s entrance.

While the rules were getting explained one by one, the smile on my face was starting to get wider and wider. This ti, male and female participants were free to join and everyone was allowed to bring one lee weapon.

What I would be bringing was pretty obvious but the rules for clothing was still the sa.

Tatiana and Ilya jumped down the truck after getting ready and Cynthia said that she won’t be participating at this ga. Tatiana brought her bastard sword with her while Ilya borrowed Jared’s cavalry sword. I had my katana fastened on my hip while Kaley showed her wakizashi to Cynthia. Tatiana and Ilya started walking towards the announcer but right as I was about to follow them, Edd stopped .

“Hey, how will I distribute the bets? Do you want to distribute them equally in three parts or do you have sothing else in mind? The rules this ti might affect your winnings later.” he asked.

I wrote the distribution on the piece of paper and when he saw it, he shone it against the light to check if what he was seeing was real.

“A-are you sure about this?” he tried to confirm.

“Just do it.” I chuckled.

He was still waiting if I got the timing wrong on my joke but I pushed him with Ben that’s still trying to not let Cynthia know of his presence. Kaley was looking at curiously but I just winked at her and mouthed, “Watch .”

The bet distribution was there’s nothing on Tatiana and Ilya since everything we have, not only the winnings, we’re placed on . They’ll still get sothing if they scored so points but none from the bets. If I lose this ga, we’re all going ho n.a.k.e.d. What I’m attempting to do was pretty dangerous but this was the ti to make a proper impression.

I’m slowly walking towards the announcer near the stage where Mr. Cuervo, his wife, and the rest of his guards were located. The entrance inside the circle was near the sa place and every participant was gathered in the sa location.

Each participant brought their own weapons and I thought the one the three of us were carrying would stand out. Turns out, a few participants have their own collection of weapons and I’m dying to know if they could actually wield it.

I started to control my breathing and sweat started to appear on my body each ti I exhaled. I could hear the container vans and the cargo trucks driving into position while I heard the announcer calling for my na.

“HEY YOU! SAMURAI BOY! YOU’RE FIRST IN LINE! HOW MUCH?” he said through the gaphone.

I nonchalantly entered the cage and said with a devilish smile, “All of them.”
