YM778.TV Chapter 152
“*gulp* Think Sky! Think! Oh shit! Oh shit! Oh shit! W-wait, they’re not like Kaley, they won’t know if I lied but what would I tell them? Do I make it sound like a fairytale? No! They might not be pseudo-psychic but they’re not idiots either. What’s the best thing to say that would make me not receive a bullet from Kaley and for them to accept an answer that they are half-expecting?! F.U.C.K! Why am I even thinking about what people are gonna say?! It’s very easy, do I tell the truth and just go with it? FUUUUUUU~ DAMMIT HERE GOES NOTHING!” I had an inner breakdown that took less of a second to happen.
The two are staring at me while Kaley is atop the Raptor waiting for my answer.
*clears throat*
“Honestly, it really just happened dude. I first thought we were just two people that met but never fated but I was wrong. F.u.c.k fate, we decide what we wanted to happen to our lives. I-” I was about to add more but Kris interrupted me.
“The f.u.c.k you are talking about? We’re talking about what happened in close doors! Who made the first move and whose the one in charge!” he said while his eyebrows are jumping up and down.
“This f.u.c.ker heh, I’ll throw you under the bus just to change the subject.” I thought to myself.
“Oh~ Is that so~ closed doors huh~ Earnest, at Kris’s house, when we entered, Kaley and I saw him milking his d.i.c.k watching a Y-” I tried to finish my sentence but…
“LA! LA! LA! LA! LA! LA! LA! LA! LA! LA! LA! LA! It’s a YURI film! YURI~!” Kris tried to drown the sound as he glared at me.
“HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~!!! That’s why Sky said you’re ‘enjoying’ your time! Yuri is lesbo, right?” Earnest started to die laughing.
“Yeah, those ‘ladies’ are very muscular though.” I said.
I could feel Kris’s foot about to step on mine but I avoided it by simply sliding my foot away making him almost trip.
“You like muscular ladies huh? *snort* Want to be dominated by one? I thought you would be the one to be in charge.” Earnest laughed earnestly as he really thought what I was saying was the truth.
“You don’t ask other people’s business inside closed doors. That’s what you get.” I thought to myself.
We’ve been going back and forth and then Earl and Jeremy joined us as well.
“So, you’re really taking in all of your friends from before, how about your other friends from college or at work? Are you taking them as well or have some of them in your place already?” Earl asked.
“Got an old friend from gradeschool and two people from college. I have a few more friends from college but they are so far from where we are and we need to make an expedition to reach them. Saved one actually from South. If you’re talking about work friends, I have my laborers at my place already. We have a good relationship with each other though some of them went outside and haven’t heard from them if they’re still alive or not.” I replied.
“No, I’m talking about work friends when you were still a software engineer, Earnest told me you were one before.” Earl said.
“Hmm, I have a few in my mind that could be a good addition to my place. I don’t know their whereabouts though. I just hoped that everyone at least responded to my emails from before. Almost everyone took them as a joke.” I said.
“Don’t take this the wrong way, do you just take people based on their skills and what they could do to your place?” Jeremy chimed.
“Yes and no. I brought everyone there who I have a close relationship with first, skills come second and it’s just a bonus if they know a thing or two. I know a few more people that has great skills and could be a good addition to the compound but their behavior would cause a lot of friction not just with me but to everyone else. I want a tight-knit group of survivors and not a dispersed one. There’s strength in numbers but a few back home are learning necessary skills to survive. I hope you all too. And to not be a liar, Oscar, my friend from back home should be getting people with a certain set of skills from the camps by now. I just prioritized all of you.” I replied.
Darelle and his wife finally went out and opened their gate with their camper van. It wasn’t even an hour and they’re already done. I gave my Glock to Earnest again and Darelle lowered his window.
“Are we going now? We’re going to Roi’s mansion, right?” Darelle said.
“Yeah. You brought everything you need? That was fast.” I said.
“Heh, we always pack light if we go on trips but we took everything we needed that’s why we took a bit of time. I’m sure the people here would be ransacking my house after we leave so we made our final goodbye with our house.” he replied.
“It’s fine. It’s just a house. We can always build one and we spent more time in this camper than that house actually.” Trisha chimed as Darelle smiled.
I told them to follow behind me and the guy who owns this place just stared at us as we leave their premises. We went back the same way to drive into the highway since Roi’s place needed us to drive on the highway for a bit before we make a left to another place the same as this though a lot bigger even than the place back home.
We passed by an intersection from where there is a 9-Eleven and another fast food shop in a corner and ‘Aliw’, a very old place that used to be a popular cinema and entertainment center but ravaged by time and turned to be a simple store that has several owners inside. It’s broken into much like the other places here and a few rotting bodies are on the street but we continued straight on the road.
We’re avoiding abandoned cars and zombies and I can’t tell what’s the expression of the other people whose first time going out is. We passed by SM Marilao and all of the windows are broken and the place is greatly overrun on the ground floor. However, I could see tents and a few people on the rooftop and the 2nd floor.
“There’s actually people who managed to get that place up and running.” I said.
“Isn’t that the place where we need to get Ken’s tech?” Kaley asked.
“Yeah but going to Kris’s house solved everything. We have everything we need and it’s all a matter of setting it up.” I replied.
We saw several people looting places near on the other side which is a restobar but they backed off when they see a muzzle of the guns that we’re carrying. We drove past them and we reached a long bridge and past that is the public market of Marilao and their residential area.
I could remember a few places here that’s on my list to visit but it’s not the priority right now.
We went by a car dealership and a bowling alley and then we finally took the left turn going near their place. What surprised me is that the place is fortified and it has several blockades present and their huge gate has barbwires on top and a few people on top of a water tank taking rounds on watching the situation outside. One of them has a rifle slung on his back while the other is carrying a shotgun with both of his hands.
“This place is good. He should be very much alive if this is the situation here.” I thought to myself as we went down.
The two people looked at me and they got their weapons at the ready as one of them shouted.
“Stop right there! Who are you and what is your business here! We’re not taking survivors anymore!” the guy with the rifle shouted.
“Anymore? Are they at full cap or has there been an incident.” I thought to myself.
“I’m Sky Ishiyama from a Special Unit looking for Roi Solasco. He’s one of the owners of the mansions here at 3-DD9f1C-9 Block. I need to know if he’s still alive.”
The guy with the shotgun took his radio and spoke to it. He is going back and forth with the person on the other line and he keeps on making glances at me like he’s describing my appearance to the person on the other end. When the call was over, he looked at me with a solemn expression.
“I’m very sorry sir but the person that you’re looking for is not here.” the guy said.
“F.u.c.k.” I thought to myself.
