Code Zulu Alpha: Nerd in the Apocalypse!

Chapter 1031 Lockdown - Hazing?

At this point, I could be jumping the fucking gun a little too much but I'd rather it be that than anything else right now because I'm so fucking pissed off, I was smiling from ear to ear just to not rip these dumbasses' faces off:

"You see, even a grain of rice shouldn't get past me. So, are things going under the radar between you three or is there more to this than what's going on? You do know we have 24-hour surveillance and since we don't have a lot of people that had access to that, it'd be a fucking pain to check the footage since we were just about to drive away. If I don't hear a fucking confession right now—"

Then JJ cut me off in desperation as he shouted at the top of his lungs, "T-THEY WERE JUST G-GIVING US C-CIGARS AND SOME A-ALCOHOL A-AND THEY'D SOMETIMES ROLL IN WITH A FEW GIRLS TO HAVE F-FUN IN THEIR CAR! A-AND I-IN EXCHANGE, I-I-I… O-OH FUCK… FUCK… I-I'M DEAD, I'M DEAD, I'M DEAD— I-I'M SORRY, ALRIGHT?! I-I WAS JUST C-CASUALLY TALKING ABOUT MY SCHEDULE AND WHATNOT SO WE COULD HANG A FEW TIMES A-AND I-IT'S BEEN REALLY FUN I-I'D EVEN CALL OVER TO S-SIR RICO'S CAMP T-TO LET THEM THROUGH S-SO— F-FUCK, I-I'M REALLY DEAD, AREN'T I?!"

He wasn't even able to finish his sentence when one of the dudes tried to shut him up with a weak shoulder bump but after just hearing that short bit, I'd already heard enough as I let out a smile and pulled out my radio:

-

*bzzt*

"This is not a drill, I repeat, this is not a fucking drill. Commence Project Lockdown in ten fucking seconds because there's a fucking breach. If any of you are fucking involved with these three fucking clowns right now, 'fess up for a chance of me forgiving you— but with a small punishment or else I'LL FUCKING HUNT YOU DOWN AND THREE GENERATIONS OF YOUR FAMILY! Right, bonus rewards for those who could point out the ones involved but we'll fucking kick you out if we found out you lied— so don't even try getting something from this 'cause I'm way more than pissed off…"

*bzzt*

-

Right as I said that, it only took around five seconds before our emergency horn blared and several vehicles came in from our side and the outside of the gate to block it off with anyone that would try to get out. Several reserved soldiers or fighters—even on their day off came running and manned the walls while the ones on patrol tripled because of my announcement.

Other than that, I could see some soldiers escorting the civilians—especially the children and the elderly—back to their homes, and each of our phones was blowing up with several calls at the same time.

At this point, Ferdinand had just come in confused with several soldiers in tow—because they were on the way the moment I called in the lockdown—but I couldn't help but be a little pissed off from his tardiness because Johnny, who didn't know that any of this was happening, came at the same time as him with Marco, Mark, and Dong, ready to commit bloody murder.

And the three fucking clowns, JJ, "Bordz", and "Jomar" couldn't even fathom what was going on—especially the other two—because they were just attempting to case this place out and the whole fucking cavalry descended upon them from just a simple call.

Despite this guard's shortcomings, everyone else's response was still very acceptable to my standards, but since we already set the stage and we had a very large audience, I beckoned the three to stand by the wall they were simply lounging about earlier while I was wearing an angelic smile:

"Please? You caught me in a bad time so… Before I change my mind and hack your limbs off with a rusty saw… please."

JJ immediately stood up but tumbled as he made his way to the wall before he knelt down and begged for his life, "P-Please~ sir! I-I-I didn't really know— I-I FUCKED UP, I KNOW! I-I'M REALLY SORRY! I-I JUST DIDN'T THINK AND— AH! F-FUCK!"

I cut him off by grazing his ear with a .22 cartridge, "Last fucking chance, JJ. You only talk when spoken to if you want me to keep missing. The next one will be on your dick and I'll throw you out the gates and watch you bleed to death. Understand? Now, you can answer."

"Y-Y-Y-Yes, sir…"

At this point, JJ was just a fucking mess and one of the two was about to have a heart attack while the other looked like he was just waiting for a chance to speak but his knees couldn't stop trembling regardless of what ace he had in his sleeves.

But yeah, it didn't take long before seven dudes and a dudette came up from the side and looked nervous as fuck before they revealed themselves to be one of the guards who let these two fucks in like JJ without following proper protocol. Almost all of them had said the same thing as JJ did, but one of them had a different reason for doing what he did:

"Ah— I'm really s-sorry, sir— a-and I'll accept any p-punishment as long as you don't throw me and my f-family out b-but you see… W-We just g-got here a m-month ago t-through an interview w-with Ma'am Marisha a-and I just followed what everyone else here does an I thought i-it was a normal thing—"

I rolled my eyes as I cut him off, "So, you mean to tell me that if all the guards here started to take drugs while on duty or slice off a finger every time they're late, you'd do it? Is that what you're telling me?"

"T-That's… I-I just didn't want any trouble b-because I'm new and I-I should follow o-orders—"

"Hold up, orders? Did you just say orders?"

"Y-Yes, sir?"

"From who?"

The guy shook his head, "I-I'm not exactly sure b-but—"

"What's there to not be sure about? Was the person who ordered you to let them in wearing a mask? Was it a burning bush? What? Your name's Mikey, right? You do know that I'm a very good friend and also a very terrifying enemy so let me help you here: You and your family's safety now lies in your testimony—contingent on how accurate it is—and right now, I'm feeling that you're getting pressured to omit some stuff. But here's the deal: Who are you gonna side with? Me, or those fucks who landed you in this situation in the first place?"
