Rebirth in the Apocalypse: Third Time's a Charm

Chapter 333 They’re Fucked

?

"You can't throw them to the zombies," answered Liu Wei as he adjusted his glasses.

"Why not?" she asked curiously as she took a sip of the coffee. Liu Wei was tempted to ask for his mug but thought better of it. That was something for him and his brother, not for outsiders.

"No idea," replied Liu Wei with a shrug.

"Isn't that what they plan to do with us? Have we finished hashing out that plan?" she continued to ask, looking over at the bleeding commander. "You might want to get that looked after quickly. You don't know when the locals will feel a bit peckish," she continued as she tilted her head toward the water.

Everyone turned to look at the ocean, trying to figure out what she meant.

All of a sudden, the tops of heads and eyes slowly surfaced like an alligator coming to the surface. There must have been more than 50 of them. Way more than there was in her horde yesterday.

Liu Wei turned to look at her, and she just shrugged her shoulders before taking another sip. "They made some new friends," she said with a smile. "Apparently, there are more underwater. They just wanted to know if there was any food coming."

The heads of the Sea Dragon team snapped toward her at her comment. "Fucking psycho crazy bitch," growled one of the men as he palmed the automatic rifle in his arms.

"I could be careful if I were you," said Li Dai Lu uncaringly. Before she could open her mouth, Liu Yu Zeng had already stepped forward to deal with the prick. "And the next time you go into a city, or really anywhere with a dictionary, if you live that long enough, of course, please look up the words psycho and crazy. While they don't mean the same, most people believe they do. You can call me a fucking psycho bitch, or a fucking crazy bitch, but the way you said it was a bit redundant."

"You are a fucking lunatic," said the man, looking at her. Liu Yu Zeng was more than willing to slit his throat and feed him to the zombies.

"Actually, with coffee, she is on her best behavior," said Wang Chao as he held a slice of chocolate cake for her. "In fact, she is downright happy right now."

"But seriously," interrupted Liu Dai Lu as she handed her mug to Liu Wei before taking her cake from Wang Chao. "We are either going to have to feed them or leave. They are getting hungry."

"Understood," said Wang Chao. "What is your choice, commander? Leave or feed the zombies?"

The commander simply snorted and turned around, dripping blood into the sand with every step he took.

The relatively large group made it to the parking lot of the beach where four motorcycles were waiting for them.

"Where the hell did they come from?" demanded one of the soldiers as he stepped closer to a bike.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you," said Liu Yu Zeng as he walked up to the bike that the soldier was about to touch. "Lin tends to get a bit cranky with people touching him."

As soon as the soldier placed his hand on the bike, a bolt of electricity shocked him and he stumbled backward. He would have fallen on his ass if one of his troop mates hadn't steadied him.

"What the fuck?!?" he gasped as the current continued to course through him.

"Oh no, you can't blame me for that," said Liu Yu Zeng, raising his hands and protesting his innocence. "I was pretty clear that he gets cranky when people touch him. You were the dumb fuck that still decided to go through with it."

"You are acting like the bike has a mind of its own," scoffed Huang Nian Zu as he hobbled over to where the two men were standing.

"Not only does he have a mind of his own, he also plays favorites, don't you, Lin?" called Liu Yu Zeng.

"Sir, they are all fucking crazy," said the woman that had taken issue with Li Dai Lu earlier.

"And you are a fucking bitch," growled Lin as he revved his engine. "You don't see us calling you out for it."

"Kitten prefers to call her Fucktrumpet," called out Wang Chao as he went to sit on Ares.

"So, I am a kitten now?" demanded Li Dai Lu as she stomped her foot on the ground. 

"Kitten or Trouble, which do you prefer?" asked Wang Chao.

"I vote kitten. She is as cute and cuddly as a kitten but comes equipped with claws that will rip you apart if you aren't paying attention," said Liu Wei as he held out a hand to her. She simply rolled her eyes, not bothering to say anything either way.

"What are you doing?!?" demanded the commander, putting an end to the conversation.

"I thought we were headed to the marina where you have a boat that will take us to the site," said Wang Chao as he rested his helmet on his thigh. "How else are we getting to the coordinates?"

"And just what boat do you think is working right now?" shot back the commander, not answering Wang Chao's question. The other man narrowed his eyes at the commander.

"Just how were you thinking we were getting 45 minutes outside of the shoreline and to the place where you claim the device is?" asked Wang Chao, now more than a little upset.

There was silence as the Sea Dragon team looked at each other. "The boat that we jerry-rigged sunk when the orcas attacked," said one man, coming forward to look at Wang Chao. "Unless we can do something similar to another boat, our only other option is swimming."

"Have you actually been in those waters?" asked Chen Zi Han, looking at the man like he was crazy.

"We swam in them when the boat capsized," said the other man, not willing to admit that they had not spent any long period of time in the water.

"They're fucked," said Li Dai Lu with a giant smile on her face. Liu Yu Zeng was more than inclined to agree.
