Chapter 209: 209
“Hey… Sky! Wake up!” I heard Kaley’s voice.
“Hmm?” I slowly opened my eyes and I saw her beautiful face.
“5 more minutes…” I snoozed Kaley.
“It’s morning already! It’s already past 6:00 AM and the kids have already knocked on our doors!” she exclaimed.
“What…? I’m so, so tired… Ever had an idea what I did yesterday?” I replied.
“*giggle* I know. I was there, remember? How many times was that? I believe you’ve used a dozen or so condoms. Wait, is it a dozen or a couple…?” she trailed as she looked at me.
“Fourteen to be exact but we did a few more without when we’re finally alone with each other.” I replied.
“Really?! You even managed to count all that?!” she exclaimed.
“Well, I’m really great at counting. Okay… let’s head down?” I asked as I slowly stretched.
We finally went down and coincidentally, Rin and Tatiana came out of a single room.
“They’ve really made up.” I thought to myself.
Tatiana greeted us but Rin can’t seem to look Kaley and I into our eyes. She sheepishly followed us down while Tatiana is silently laughing on the side.
“Well, last night was fun!” she said.
“Shh! We don’t talk about that okay?!” Kaley exclaimed.
“Oh! I forgot! What happened there, stays there, correct?” she said as Kaley nodded.
Everyone is slowly gathering on the pool area and the gate has a few more people coming inside. Lois is carrying a few plates of food for the people watching the gate and for Jude which is always eating instant noodles. We had eggs and dried fish for breakfast accompanied by garlic fried rice.
“What’s the plan today kid?” Oscar said after we finished eating.
“Okay, listen up!” I tried to get everyone’s attention.
I told everyone that since reinforcing and repairing every single house available was finished. The next part of our building phase is to build a small pier at the end of the road behind us. It could allow us to bypass other roads that we haven’t explored yet to reach other key locations by using our two small boats. Encounters with the dead are greatly minimized since we still haven’t encountered one who could swim in the water.
All of the ones we’ve encountered so far are like people who have eaten the devil’s fruit and made them unable to swim.
However, when we start to explore other places via the canal system, the things we could carry back would be severely limited due to the cargo space allowed by our boats. It would only be solved once we get bigger ones.
“Oh! Going in the water sounds good!” Oscar said.
“We have only two vehicles though. The YAMAHA SX210 and the Escape RT 220. They’re collecting dust now on that corner but it could reach a few places.” I replied.
“We could always ‘borrow’ some of them for now! We already have different vehicles for land, what’s wrong with adding on a few more for water since we’re lacking in that department?” Oscar said, smiling.
“And where do we get more? We have a few wooden boats too near the fishing areas but I think we need bigger ones than that and what you have. A yacht or something would be better. I have the license for it so I could drive one. We could even reach the other island groups if we got the fuel for it.” Matthew said.
As soon as Matthew said the word ‘yacht’, everyone suddenly looked at me. It was about half a minute of silence.
“What?” I asked them all.
“We’re waiting.” they all said in unison.
“Waiting for what?” I was confused.
“You know! We’re just waiting for you to say that you have a yacht or something!” Matthew exclaimed.
“Oh, I don’t.” I replied.
“I don’t f.u.c.k.i.n.g believe you!” he exclaimed.
“Hah! I really don’t. Wait, we do. WE HAVE ONE!” I exclaimed.
“You f.u.c.k.i.n.g loser I knew you don’t have every- wait, WHAT?!” Matthew choked.
“Remember the Pineda Residence? When we started on installing one of the relays on top of their house? We did a second run inside to check everything else that we might use. They actually own one but it is a bit far. I have all that we needed to drive that thing here though.” I replied with a smile.
“Seriously?! Where?!” he exclaimed.
“The Pier.” I said solemnly.
“Well that is another project I’ll be glad to go to!” Matthew said.
“Did you forget? One of the places where it started here is in the Pier. Manila North Harbor to be exact. Coincidentally, that is where the yacht is docked. There could be a huge swarm of them there but luckily, we have boats that could help us reach it safely. If we go there in land, I think our chances of surviving will be close to zero.” I explained.
“Wait a minute, we’ve only secured a few places here, why are we going somewhere a lot farther than what we’re supposed to? There’s still the People’s Park we need to clear, right? Don’t tell me…” Johnny trailed.
“It’s not what you think. I’m not sending a team to Davao City to check on the president. It’s a means to get to a few more places and check on their situation where we can’t on land. If I could help it, I want a helicopter too. Having one would make things much easier. I’m just figuring out a way in how can we acquire one from the camp here.” I said.
“Hmm. So we’re paying a visit to the pier, eh?” Oscar said.
“Yeah, we’ll be bringing ten people. Let’s hook the trailers on the trucks first so we could place the boats on the canal system first. If we could nab some gas from that place too for the yacht it would be great and if the yacht is actually in working condition when we get there.” I replied.
However, Allan buzzed from the radio.
*bzzt*
“Dude, the people from Woodlands are here, they’re f.u.c.k.i.n.g pissed. Come quick!”
*bzzt*
We cut the small meeting short first and a few of us ran towards the gate. I walked up the platform and I could see an SUV that’s carrying a few people. One of them I talked to before on the past week is outside, almost shaking in anger.
When she saw my face, she immediately exploded.
“YOU! DO YOU THINK WHAT YOU DID IS A F.U.C.K.I.N.G JOKE?! YOU THINK WHAT YOU DID WOULD F.U.C.K.I.N.G SCARE EVERYONE FROM MY GROUP?!” she exclaimed at the top of her lungs.
“The f.u.c.k are you talking about Sheila?” Oscar chimed from the side.
“OH?! YOU THINK I’M PLAYING GAMES?! I DON’T PLAY F.U.C.K.I.N.G GAMES!!! GET THOSE F.U.C.K.I.N.G HEADS OUT OF OUR FRONT GATE RIGHT NOW!!!” she bellowed.
“Wait, heads? When did this happen?” I asked.
Sheila is shouting more unintelligible terms and then her ex-husband also came out of the passenger’s seat. He sheepishly dried her face with a towel and said, “Sheila, I thought we were here to just ask if they know anything about what happened last night? Why are you already shouting at them and accusing them that they did it? Calm down, your blood pressure is gonna rise up aga-”
“WHO ELSE WOULD F.U.C.K.I.N.G DO THIS?! THEY’RE THE ONLY ONES HERE THAT WANTS A PIECE OF OUR LAND THAT WE BOUGHT WITH OUR FUC-” I cut her off.
“Shut the f.u.c.k up before I shoot you in the head for attracting a few zombies here.” I said calmly but the tone I used made her shut up.
“I’M JUS-” she tried to speak.
“Shut the f.u.c.k up. I’m not gonna repeat myself a third time. Mr. Gabriel, good to see you here. I see you’ve brought your ex-wife here who could rival the landlady of that kung fu movie when it comes to shouting. You mentioned heads?” I looked at the guy which is sheepishly trying to calm her ex-wife down.
“Uh, yes! We found s-several heads on our front gate this morning when our group who does runs was about to head outside. I think it’s best if you see it yourselves. Do you have any idea with what is happening? Everyone from our place is terrified and won’t come out.” he replied as he nervously looks at his ex-wife.
“I can guarantee you that it’s not us. Each one we encounter we burn to cinders and not keep as trophies. However, I have an idea on who might that group be. We’ve encountered a few of their men before and they have a full freezer of heads when we went outside. They’re a dangerous bunch and I think they have bad intentions for your place.” I said solemnly.
“D-do you know a way we could contact t-them?! To stop this madness?! The kids back home are frightened!” he said.
The other door opened and another one of the homeowners from their place went outside.
“The partnership we talked about last week. I want to revisit that conversation again.” said an older man carrying a cane.
“Oh, you’re here too Damian. How’s it going? I thought your exact words before is ‘this is my final offer, take it or leave it.’ hmm?” I said with a chuckle.
“This time it’s different!” he shouted.
“Yeah, it is. It f.u.c.k.i.n.g is. You’re all in for a ride if you don’t up your defenses. The place where my cousin is staying at just got their heads collected by those people. I bet if I go to your front gate now which I remember you also said is the ‘safest of all places’, it would have one of the heads collected from his place too.” I replied.
“Why don’t you all understand?! We already went to the DDR Camp here for help and they shrugged us off! Don’t you know that if those psychos that did that as you mentioned took over our place, yours would be next?! How f.u.c.k.i.n.g stupid are all of you?!” he bellowed.
“Stupid? Hah! We could easily take over your place with just five of my people. We could take care of anything that comes here easy with everyone present. Can your place do that? Oh, I forgot, it’s the ‘safest’, right? I’m so ‘stupid’ I forgot about that detail.” I replied calmly not caring in the slightest.
He almost pulled all the hairs from his body since he became frustrated with my reply.
“Alright! What do you f.u.c.k.i.n.g want?! You want the stupidest proposal you made before to happen?! Is that it?! Huh?!” he bellowed as I formed a faint smile on my face.
“No. I want full control of your place and your people. If you all want to survive, that is. Oh! I forgot! This is my final offer, take it or leave it.” I said his words back at him.
