YM778.TV Chapter 267
If someone would ask me why I did it, I’ll say: I don’t know, I think I have a daily quota of how much crazy I need to let out, I guess. The S-76 I’m flying veered to the right just to get the momentum since the radius that I need to cover just to circle around the Cargo Helicopter is huge. I need to be precise and not lose focus in order to successfully do it.
My eyes are gleaming and I’m grinning devilishly as everyone inside the aircraft I’m flying are shouting curses through the radio. I then turned hard left then down and up and around the Cargo Helicopter in front of me. The measurements I did in my head are perfect and it wasn’t even the whole trick. I was still moving forward when I cleared the Cargo Helicopter and what’s next is the Attack Helicopter still going at its usual speed. They’re both going a tad slower than me so it was easier. The radius needed to clear was much shorter and I quickly did the same thing to pass it much to the shock of my passengers.
“AHHHHHHHHHHHHH~!!!”
“MR. PRESIDENT~!!!”
“YOU SON OF A BITCH~!!!”
“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH~!!!”
*cries*
“MOMMY~!!!”
“WITNESS ME~!!!”
“THIS IS SO COOL~!!!!”
“F.U.C.K YOU BRO~!!!”
“SKY~!!!”
*faint*
“BLEGRHHHGHGJGHHJJHHHFSFHGH~!!!”
“VALHALLA~!!!”
“HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~!!!”
After the last loop, I stabilized the S-76 and now we’re slowly descending towards the section where it is cleared for landing. We were guided at the top of the City Hall with the SuperCobra where other helicopters are present while the Cargo Helicopter is on the ground due to its size. A few more Cargo Helicopters are on the same space and I surmised they were the ones carrying the supplies for this place and just waiting for the president to come here.
“They did bring a lot more here but if it was me, I’d let this place go. I may need to know more about this place’s situation before I decide though.” I thought to myself.
Surprisingly, I could only hear curses from the other helicopter’s radios and not on mine. I finally looked around me and the first one I saw was Micah since she was my copilot. She has already lost consciousness among the others though a few are trying their hardest to remove the belts so that they could run outside and vomit it all out. I could not see Kaley’s face due to my position so I removed my belts to check up on her.
Some of the soldiers are already giving me murderous looks outside but it would be immediately halted since their breakfast is trying to come out. Nikolas and Tatiana are doing somewhat okay but I could still see their usual color is a little paler compared to normal. Roque and Jude have passed out while Rod and Jared are trying to get some air outside. I was about to call for Kaley since she’s hunched down but I was about to get attacked by everyone that has already somewhat recovered.
“YOU MOTHERF.U.C.KER~!” everyone bellowed.
“Ah, crap.” I muttered.
I parried each blow with my hands and I evaded, rolled, ducked, and dipped with all I had. I never got hit since their heads are still spinning somewhat.
“Mr. President! Awesome display! Wait…” Mayor Iskoh finally reached us. He was fascinated at what I did and he’s only just noticing the situation.
“WHAT AWESOME DISPLAY ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT YOU SON OF A BITCH! I ALMOST PASSED OUT! HAAAAA~ I WAS FINE WITH THE FIRST ONE BUT I GAVE OUT ON THE SECOND ONE! KID! TELL ME IN ADVANCE IF YOU’RE GONNA DO THAT TYPE OF SHIT!!!” Rod bellowed.
“Oh, my bad.” I replied.
“MY BAD?! WE ALM- BLERHGH~” Roque finally woke up and began shouting.
I was scratching my head from the continued rain of curses but I felt someone tugging on my shirt. I looked back and it was Kaley all red in the face.
“Hey, you okay?” I asked her then she pinched me hard and I winced.
“A-ask t-them w-where’s the… t-the b-bathroom…” Kaley whispered.
The look she’s giving me says that it’s really urgent so I quickly interrupted the president and the mayor’s conversation. He just looked at me and gave me the directions while I gave a signal to Jared and Tatiana. I think Jude is with them probably following silently since I think that Iskoh still hasn’t noticed him.
“You’re coming with me, you doofus!” Kaley pulled me with her quickly after we took our bags with us.
We’re walking briskly towards the nearest restroom and luckily it’s unoccupied. It’s from one of the offices that has its own restroom inside, not a public one.
“Guard the door!” Kaley exclaimed as she shut the door in front of me.
I could hear from the other side that she’s ruffling through her bag and I think I know what happened.
“Kaley… did you p-” then she cut me off.
“Shut up! It’s embarrassing! Hngh~” she exclaimed, jittery.
“Was it cool though? That was you, right?” I asked.
“Y-yeah… that double loop was too much… I accidentally… you! Don’t mention this to anyone! I was lucky it was a small amount… I need to wash this though… I’m mad at you!” Kaley exclaimed.
“Well it’s a good thing I didn’t barrel roll three times. That would be catastrophic… but yeah, I’m sorry for that happening. I’ll give you a warning next time.” I replied.
“Come in here, I’m done changing.” Kaley called me over.
I opened the door and I saw her washing her clothes in the sink with the small bar of soap that we brought. She’s still blushing when our eyes meet but she’s glaring at me big time.
“Need a diaper next time?” I cheekily said but she threw her wet clothes at me.
*plop*
“Hmph! You wash them! It’s your fault!” she harrumphed while I finished what she started on her clothes. We made use of the hand dryer of the restroom to quickly dry her clothes and she packed them inside her bag.
“Hey, on a serious note, don’t leave my side when we’re here. I made a quick glance outside while walking here and it’s worse than I thought. I found out something really peculiar inside though.” I said.
“Hmm? What do you mean?” Kaley asked.
“This is a huge building and I thought this place was gonna be packed inside since there’s still a lot of people outside with makeshift houses but it’s not. Even this office, it’s supposed to at least have a few people roaming around but we’re the only ones here. There might be something going on so we need to be extra careful.” I said solemnly.
“Hmm, you’re right, it’s kinda quiet here but differently quiet. Do we follow them back now?” Kaley asked.
“No need. Jared’s been recording their conversation along with Tatiana so we’d know later what they’re talking about. Let’s just ‘accidentally’ get lost around here so we could take a look around with our own eyes what’s going on.” I replied.
“What if they see us? Oh, wait…” Kaley chuckled.
Before we left our compound, Rod already declared us a special unit that could move independently. I was given the power to give orders to most of his soldiers but not his personal army. It was the same thing he gave the government officials when it started so they could mobilize the soldiers to their own discretion. The only catch is that there’s more power to the person if they are in their own territory.
Which means that I could order Iskoh’s soldiers to do tasks here but he has the final say and vice versa. However, if a person of power is not appointed, the CO of the military group is to be in charge until further notice or if they deem that the person appointed is not qualified for the job. I don’t want to say it but that rule might be the reason some of the camps went AWOL. They simply decided to do it on their own but it backfired.
Kaley and I finally saw some people on the lower floors and we started on conversing with them. They’re fairly hospitable and we found out that most of the people living here are the people working for the government. They were given priority to stay in here with their families and the others were people with no criminal records and have proper identification. He doesn’t just accept anyone with a shady background inside but those people started on building their own houses outside even though it’s dangerous.
A few blocks outside have been fortified by a fence that extends farther than my place but there’s no one guarding them and it’s flimsy. This City Hall is their main base of operations so they put their all on fortifying it but a few minutes of talking with them revealed one of I think many problems inside.
The soldiers and the government employees are doing all the hard labor with the mayor while their families are slacking off, waiting to be fed. They’re acting like they’ve just evacuated from a super typhoon and all would be fine after a while. Some are helping them but the ratio isn’t enough to cover for everyone and it poses a few risks and security is my main concern.
“The soldiers are spread too thin. He needs to whip some shape to the other people here. He’s too kind with them and they’re getting complacent. He already has a nice setup but if he continued with this bullshit, he’d lose this place. I still haven’t heard from them the supplies that are getting stolen.” I thought to myself.
I said our goodbyes for now and we decided to check on the gates where there’s a line or should I say a clump of people trying to get in. They were riled up to see the helicopters coming and some of them are requesting supplies as alms. I approached the soldier and he was skeptical at first for what I said to him but a simple call was enough to get my wish granted.
“We’re making a stall here.” I ordered the soldier.
