YM778.TV Chapter 289
“Hah! Okay, I’ll see what I could do. A dozen or so soldiers wouldn’t hurt me as much but a heli-” then Jude cut him off.
“No, give me one. You took my sister from me, I take a helicopter from you, understand?” Jude’s words were threatening but his expression and tone didn’t help his case.
“Uhh…” Iskoh is bewildered.
“So now I’m only worth a helicopter?! How rude!” Jade exclaimed full of emotion which is a great contrast from her brother.
“I’m wrong. Give me two helicopters.” Jude nodded a few times.
I snorted with Kaley.
“Jude!” Jade exclaimed.
“Okay… three? Wait… four?” Jude is tilting his head sideways before his sister attacks him.
“Hey, speaking of giving things away, Micah performed the best, right? Well, Ro- I mean the president opted out from the contest but she hit the targets with the tightest groups. So, what’s her prize?” Kaley interjected.
“Oh yeah, if either Iskoh or Jade won, I’m planning to give either my Tavor or that G9 before we leave this place. Now that Micah won, we could do the same thing or I could customize one for you when we get back home. What do you think?” I looked at Micah.
“Oh~ It’s a gun~ I think I want something similar to what Kaley is using now.” she replied.
“Oh! Here, try it if you like it. This here is the…” Kaley started to explain the features of her gun.
“Oh~ Really? It takes the same magazines as my pistol?” Micah was surprised.
“Something like that but your Glock 26 could do the same. Your gun could take different mags aside from my Maxim 9 that only takes Glock 17 mags. I just wanted to use this one because of the integrated suppressor. The good thing with yours is that it’s great for concealment.” Kaley explained and I’m having a concealed hard-on after hearing her say that smoothly.
“Umm~ You know a lot about guns too, huh?” Micah said, smiling.
“I didn’t understand half of that.” Iskoh mentioned.
“I understood nothing…” Jade weakly said.
“If you give me five helicopters and you’ll understand everything.” Jude nodded a few times again.
“I think telling him to negotiate is a bad idea. I wish I got this on camera since Oscar would die witnessing this.” I thought to myself.
The six of us talked for a while more and we separated after to continue our work. Micah was excited to be able to have another gun and Kaley even offered to give her what she’s using now but Micah stopped her. It’s because we’d still need that when we go out for a run and Micah is not allowed to go outside because she needs more training. It is also important to mention the president will have our heads if anything happens to her.
Kaley and I walked back to the hospital to assemble our team.
“It’s good that the president asked you to teach them how to use guns properly, especially Micah and Jade. It’s dangerous being in a crossfire when you don’t know how to protect yourself.” Kaley said.
“Micah just needs more practice which I think she doesn’t do much but aside from that, she’ll be able to protect herself if she does. It’s also good that Iskoh realized that it’s a bad idea to keep your loved ones just cooped up being protected. Doing that before is stupid if you ask me, just teach her how and you’d be alongside each other, right? It’s still dangerous but you got each other’s back. It’s like having a shield-brother.” I replied.
“Yeah… wait- what’s a shield-brother?” her smile turned to confusion.
“Oh, hahaha… it’s from a faction where you could turn to a werewolf if you become a member of their inner circle. Oh shi- I’m gonna let you play that when we come back!” I replied.
“S-sure…” she hesitated but she agreed.
“You agreed! No backsies when we get home!” I took her hand and we continued on looking for Jared and the rest.
We found them sweeping the broken glass and Nikolas is holding a sack up so Jared could place it there to be disposed of later. Tatiana is helping with setting up the scaffolding tents just next to them and I called them over with Cruz, Marlon, Mando, and the rest of the soldiers I’m with last time.
Since several soldiers were already deployed to thin out the numbers outside by a sizable amount, I led my group with other groups of soldiers to make roadblocks at the bridges. Since we don’t have access to container vans at the moment, we’d be making use of large vehicles to make some sort of blockade to limit the amount of zombies coming while the others are clearing them.
Our first stop is a small bridge right next to a high school and several residential buildings. It’s also right next to the Pasig River where the other half of the place we occupied is also enveloped with. There’s a Barangay Hall on the other side of the bridge but I’m not planning on going there since the files stored there could also be found in the files from the City Hall.
We jumped down and I’m more than relieved that Jared is the one overlooking from the top of the truck. Our goal is not to clear everything around the area but to create a small perimeter to allow us to block that bridge. Armed with our handheld weapons, we killed our way to the small parking lot that belongs to the high school. There’s several vehicles parked and we picked a couple of SUVs to use.
We resorted to hot-wiring them since their keys were nowhere to be found. We packed it tight against that small bridge and we padded it with a few more vehicles behind so anything that tries to cross it would have a hard time or wouldn’t be able to at all. It’s not as effective as stacking several container vans but it makes the trickle of them lessen.
Before we left that bridge I already got my hands on a few knick knacks.
On the glove compartments and on the trunks of the vehicles we used, I found a few valuable things to take back. Aside from the several tools that could maintain a vehicle, I found two mobile phones, car chargers, a few ch.i.p.s, bottled waters, and a neck pillow.
“Seriously bro? Heh.” Jared chuckled.
“What? They are right in front of me, why wouldn’t I take them?” I was in disbelief from his words.
“I know, but a neck pillow bro?” he’s shaking his head while we’re driving away.
“It’s not just a neck pillow. Check this out.” I started to press a button at the side and it started to vibrate.
“And that could help in…?” he’s speaking with a mocking tone.
“Hey, having a good rest is important too. Don’t underestimate the power of comfort!” I retorted.
“Ooh~ This feels nice…” Kaley touched it.
The soldiers with us that aren’t familiar in how we do things are giving us weird looks but it changes when we drop body after body. We’re on the way to the second small bridge and I a smile is already plastered on my face.
“Let’s come to the other side first. I bet we could find several valuables there.” I said to our driver.
We drove by a several storied condominium first before we crossed the small bridge which is looking a little more beat up than the first one. It’s paint is just mold and there’s visible cracks on the sides of it but it is still passable.
A few meters away is the Police Station and I quickly jumped down and dismembered a few bodies. We’re making quick progress because of our numbers and Jared would just fire several rounds in case we come across a special one. So far, they’re only coming solo or just a handful so it could be taken care of with careful aiming from a distance.
I tried peeking at the gaps of the windows. Some of them have curtains that could block my view but some of them are viable.
Several dozen are inside and I could almost fail to see the walls inside because of how tightly packed some of them were. I could see some of them wearing civilian clothing and some police uniforms. I glanced at their belts and it seems that their service firearms are still with them. The entrance is on the other side of this building and some of them seemed to be trying to go up on the second floor.
“We’re going inside to clear them. The chances are, several guns could still be inside for your guys use and a few more things.” I said to my group.
“They’re a lot though.” Mando said.
“Okay, here’s what we do then, once I open the doors, attract them drive around that street. That will allow you to thin their numbers or lose them. We could kill them but we still have several bridges to go through. I’ll go inside with some of us so we could check inside if my hunch is right.” I replied and they nodded.
The moment I reached the double doors, I almost burst out laughing.
“Don’t… dead… open… inside? What?” Cruz tried to read the warning signs.
