Code Zulu Alpha: Nerd In The Apocalypse!

Chapter 1331 I think I can contact them now...

Seeing how these two handle things, they couldn't care less about their image or reputation—and the most obvious one: getting revenge for the dude that fucked them up. For some reason, I still couldn't believe that they'd act this way but I was also sure that they weren't complete idiots to have someone else do the job for them.

Because yeah, these two only have themselves to watch their backs beside me, and if something happens to the dude that did them wrong, I'll fucking know and they'd be sent off the bottom of the abyss.

Still, I would've made things right in a perfect world—and I still do—but more importantly, I already have made the dude aware that I fucking know what he just did and the only reason he was still without any injuries or disciplinary action was that I was just waiting for these two's responses.

Sheepy waved me off, "What? Wanna fucking watch, you creep? I said piss off—"

I chuckled, "You two really okay with this?"

Dax turned to me as he laid down, "What's the point?"

"It wouldn't clear your image just like that but the truth will come out—"

Sheepy chortled, "Will the truth give me hookers and blow? I don't think so."

"Fine. But while you do your own shit, I'll do mine. Remember, you got a week or so before I ship you to that place so make up your mind then."

"A'ight./ Cool."

From then on, I bid them goodbye as I went back to my group and I just found out that everyone was discussing about having their eggs frozen. And since I had the perfect freezer at home, they suggested I freeze some of my sperm too.

Though I had a different opinion, for now:

"Umm... Why?"

Cynthia answered, "For the future! What else?!"

"Okay?"

Kaley nodded, "We're serious! We're all doing it, you should too!"

"I feel like one of those prized horses..."

"Pfft— Hahahaha!!!"

As time passed, what Kaley and Mimi thought about Quinn earlier was true, and she was in the early stages of menopause. While it was true that there was still a huge chance that she could get pregnant, there was now a time constraint. So yeah, Quinn and everyone else tomorrow were scheduled for a doctor's appointment except for Tatiana.

For obvious reasons I wouldn't say again, Tatiana forgo her ability to bear children though she was more than happy to reprise the role of being the cool aunt.

In any case, it was getting later and later so after we went home and performed our nightly rituals with everyone else present, I welcomed another day by wading through the naked bodies of everyone else in our circle. Obviously, some of us got up early or had to sleep on the other rooms, and like fucking clockwork, Ilana's alarm blared and woke everyone up.

"Wha— T-Turn that off..."

"Isn't that your alarm?"Nôv(el)B\\jnn

I waved her off, "Nah, today's kind of my day off, so... I tried offering help anywhere else and I was sent back every single time."

Earl chuckled, "Sounds to me like you need to do some personal quests of your own, no?"

Hearing that, the first thing on my mind was to get to Japan, but not only me—but each and every one of my extended family would be placed in a choice: do they stay or do they go? Because I've said it many times before, they can handle things on their own but with the world's current status, I'd be more relieved if we were in closer proximity with each other.

In addition, I've never heard so much of a peep from them—with valid reasons, of course—and the only living proof I had of them was seeing Eikiji who sneaked out of our mountain just to photobomb a picture taken in one of the US bases.

And on the event that I actually go over to them and find them safe and sound, what then?

Not to sound too dismissive because I really do want to see them, I really do, but if I ever go there via a boat, yacht—heck, maybe even a plane, I can't just drop by for a week and go back right after.

It'd be an adventure in itself and I'd probably take longer than the time I spent on my second to the last road trip where I've gone to Cuervo Heights, The De Leon Family's HQ, The Academy, Three Angel's Message University, The Rivas Family Estate, and everything else in between.

And with all the responsibilities I have in this place, I can't just drop everything—but at the rate I'm going at the moment, it seemed like I'm being tempted to go since everything seemed to be running on its own.

That was the condition I set myself before—if I'd ever go to the land of the rising sun—and currently, the opportunity seemed to be presenting itself to me.

In any case, Earl's question just threw me in for a loop and I didn't even notice that they were all staring at me for a few minutes already—trying to wave me down for a response.

"Hey~ You okay there? You—"

I quickly snapped out of it, "Y-Yeah, fuck... Shit's just weird, I have a ton of things I need to do but I can't do any of them now. And if I pursue something more personal, I'm afraid that I might come back and everything's ruined—"

Juan cut me off, "Nonsense."

"Huh?"

"I mean— You'll never know until you actually try but that's just how life is. You're swamped with all of your concurrent projects, you're forgetting yourself."

I shrugged my shoulders, "But being in my position, it's not that easy—"

Earl cut in, "Nah, man. You're making it look too fucking easy. I'm managing a few radio channels almost 24/7 and I still mess up the simplest things. You on the other hand..."

"It's still different—"

Vera cut in as well, "What's on your mind, anyway?"

"Japan."

"Japan? Oh! The family you mentioned before, right? Can't we just contact them?"

"We can't— Wait, I think we can now, actually."

"What do you mean?"
