Chapter 9 - News

Walking around the camp, Williams was inspecting the lives of the people living here.

The camp were divided into two divisions, the primary camp and secondary camp. The primary camp consists of high level mages who are the important people who play part in the survival of the camp, the rest were just bunch of useless cowards Williams doesn't care about.

Walking around aimlessly he marvelled at how Bella had already put everything in order with such few days. The infirmary was a large tent placed in the middle of the camp, available for all individual mindless of their division. Although it was available for everyone, the treatment still varies.

The kitchen was also set at the back of the camp with groups of women dressed in white roaming about with cooking utensils.

I guess her naughty brain has some good thing in it after all.

He commented as he admired the effort Bella had put into the camp.

Perambulating around, he was getting weird gazes from the males while getting kind and lusty smiles from the girls.

"Hey pretty boy! Quick walking around and get your ass over here!"

Turning his head to the left he estimated twenty five battle mage all kitted up and ready to move out.

To the front was a man in his late thirties with thick eyebrows and stern expression.

With how the men behind him were giving him respectful looks and avoiding his stern gaze, Williams deduced that he was the leader of the group.

"Are you calling to me sir?" He pointed to himself with an innocent young boy expression, meanwhile he was sneering inside, 'Hehe, I finally found something to pass my boredom on. It's time for some acting and action."

"Yes, get your ass over here?" The man repeated in a thick voice, he was really getting annoyed by this young man innocent nature.

"Do you need my help sir?" Williams bowed his head as he raised his imaginary eyeglass with is slender fingers.

The middle aged man nodded his head then he brought out a map, showing the markings and bearings of a city.

"Hmmm, may I ask where this is Mr?" He pointed to the map and asked with a timid tone.

".."

".."

It wasn't just the captain, but everyone near them were basically giving Williams strange looks while some rolled their eyes at the ignorance of this young man.

"Fuck! Are you shitting with me brat!" The captain roared scaring away the kids playing on the homemade playground.

How frustrating can this young man be, apart from being ignorance, he is exceptionally stupid.

"What's your name boy?"

"Are you taking to me sir?"

"Fuck me"

The man lifted Williams by his shirt and brought his face closer to him, "Listen kid, that little map yah looking is the map of New York City" he dropped Williams and continued as he traced the map with his finger, "You see this point right here, that is where we currently are "Parsippany troy hills". Right now we are planning to hit this grocery store." He concluded with his finger pointed at another point.

"Judging from what you explained right now, shouldn't that grocery store be a popular spot. The probability of us getting anything there is less than one, it would have been ran over and over again by random groups." Williams derived out putting on an air of genius and arrogance around him.

'I guess I'm really good at these. Remind me why I hadn't gone for acting in my prime, it's a pity that I just discovered my unrivaled acting talent right when I'm getting old. I can even see my grave coming... What the heck am I thinking, I'm still 21' he quickly disperse the gibberish thought in his mind and got ready to receive some compliment from the battle mages before him.

".."

He had expected a compliment but what he got instead was a dead stare from them, "Hey, stop looking at me as if I am some dead meat."

"Alan! Give him a brief session so as to catch up will ya" the captain turned around before lecturing his solders on how to execute the perfect plan.

"Um, sir I never said I wanted to go on your adventure, or did I?" He asked sharply as he tilted his imaginary eyeglass for the second time.

The captain turned around with murderous eyes, he was really pissed off by this annoying brat, "Listen up kid as I will only say this once. You see, the little thing here is that we cannot afford to leave your pretty face hanging around here as we are afraid our wives and daughters will already be banged up by the time we got back here. Do you get me?!"

".."

"I repeat, DO YOU GET ME!!!" The whole camp definitely heard his shout as Williams had to cover his ears to prefer them from bursting.

A man in bright red armor, this man was Alan who was tasked with Williams caretaking, he was handsome young man with a trimmed beared.

"So pretty boys.... Have you ever heard of zombies?" He asked with a friendly smile.

"Yeah.... In movies or novels" Williams answered with a hint of surprise, "Why did you ask?"

"Sigh" the young man released a smile filled with endless sorrow, he added, "How I wish it was still a fantasy to be watched but the cruel reality got the better of us once again."

"What do you mean?"

"What I mean is 'Zombies now exist".

A smile slowly crept onto Williams face, "The apocalypse keeps getting better and better as the day pass by.
