10 Comparable to Monk Sanzo

"Look, it's late now." Zack looked at his smartwatch, indicating that it's almost 2 AM in the morning.

"Yawn~~Yeah, I'm getting tired too. Let's wrap this up, man." (Chai)

The meeting adjourned with three main conclusions:

i) Zombies are powerful, dangerous and spreads horrifyingly quick.

ii) There might be other people with different kind of systems besides the 3 of them.

iii) At 6.30 AM, Zack and Chai will will leave the police station to their own destinations.

Melissa is staying in the station as she is to be transported to an army base, Chai is going back to his home in USJ 5 Subang Jaya, and Zack is going to the Federal State of Putrajaya.

"Mel, tomorrow morning, we're going separate ways. You take care, alright." (Zack)

"Yeah..I know..th-thank you so much for saving me! I'll remember this forever!" tears seemed to collect on Melissa's sweet-looking almond eyes.

"Of course you'll remember this! Aren't I the 'SuperCoolHandsomeAmazingBombastic Oppa' ? Hehe" (Chai)

Melissa knew, deep in their heart, even though Chai has a mischievous personality and likes to tease her, he never had any bad intentions.

"Bleehhh! What handsome oppa? More like a pretty little dongsaeng! Aigoo~~my little precious dongsaeng ah~~so cute! So~~pretty!!" (Melissa)

Although they just met for a few hours, going through life and death situations together would always make people closer.

Chai understood that Melissa is hiding her anxiousness, because right in this whole base, she only knows these two person.

She suddenly hugged Zack and Chai, and buried her face in their chests. Her teared up eyes became heavier, and finally, her emotions flooded out like an overfilled dam.

She cried on them for more than 10 minutes, sobbing and hiccing, letting out all her trauma, anxiety and psychological burdens on the men's shoulders.

No words came out from the two youth's mouth. Zack gently pats her silky black hair.

While Chai seemingly to be looking away, he cursed in his heart.

(Godammit, does this f***ing woman even noticed, that she's not even wearing anything under her shirt!!?)

He cursed himself because he's too good of a guy to take advantage of a nice, crying girl that's practically shoving her t*** against him!

What a Gentleman! What a Saint! His perseverance to control his lust is comparable to Monk Sanzo*!

(*Buddhist monk character in the classic literature Journey to the West)

...

"She asleep?" Chai whispered.

Zack nodded and slowly tucked her in on a 3-seater brown-colored couch, made from a very luxurious quality, giving it an elegant design and a very comfortable texture.

For an average human female like Melissa, the physical demand and psychological anxiety of death are just too much to handle.

Humanity was literally thrown into a survival game abruptly about a few hours ago.

They settled in on the remaining couches, laying down nonchalantly...

Chai immediately fell asleep on the couch and snored.

Zack on the other hand, couldn't sleep. Or rather he took the nightwatch task. He took this opportunity to clean himself up.

His buddy, Chai, fought quite a lot and did most of the laborious work, therefore rest is crucial for him to recover his energy.

The next morning.

RRRRRIIINNNGGGGGGGGG!!!!

Chai woke up seconds after the phone alarm rang. He swiped up his phone and noticed it was already 5.30 AM.

Zack on the other hand, was already up and prepared. To be more accurate, he couldn't sleep last night.

He contacted his parents every half an hour to update each other of their status. As of right now, they are being transported in a helicopter to an army base in Putrajaya.

Chai looked on the opposite couch, Melissa was still sleeping.

(She's cute and all but man, she's a lot of work to deal with.)

"Chai, the police gave us with some stuffs on the table. I'll go and get the car ready and meet you up front in 15 minutes." (Zack)

Toothbrushes, clean towels, new clothes...everything was neatly arranged on a luxurious marble table in the middle of the room.

(Phew, finally I could get refreshed. I stink from yesterday's sh*t that happened.)

Zack and Chai gave Melissa the first turn to bathe when they settled in yesterday, and they were already in deep discussion when she finished cleaning herself up.

Ultimately, they immediately dragged Melissa into their discussion until they forgot to bathe themselves.

Hence, after Melissa fell asleep, Zack took his bath.

...

Chai took the items and went to the attached toilet in the room, which doubles as a VIP Bathroom.

Zack was adjusting his combat suit while on the way to the base's parking lot, located about few meters from their room.

The police officers saluted and greeted Zack.

Zack and his friends are figures they must never offend!

As he walked towards the VIP Parking Lot, which only influential people could park, Zack saw many survivors slept on corridors, floors and chairs.

Some were eating food rations given by the police.

Some were calming their scared, crying children.

Some were calling their loved ones, even though their worried expressions depicts the unsavoury possibility.

Lethargy and fatigue strikes their bones, deep.

He knew full well that after this, the world will never ever be the same again.

Zack clicked the Evoque's key and opened it trunk. He then made an inventory check.

87 bottles of mineral water.

36 boxes of chocolates and candies.

24 boxes of canned food.

18 boxes of cookies and crackers.

9 boxes of instant noodles.

5 boxes of various medicines.

14 bags of firearms.

22 boxes of ammunitions.

4 bags of tactical weapons, suits and accessories.

Everything assembled nicely inside the black Range Rover Evoque.

Clean Water, Food, Weapons, Medicine & Vehicle: CHECK!

Next destination: CHAI's HOUSE!

But before that...Zack has to address a critical issue that he and Chai were facing.

___

"Young Master Zack, were there any parts that you did not understand? I will re-explain in a more detailed manner." (Sargeant Kamarudin)

The officer standing beside Zack respectfully was the very sargeant that came to meet him when he first arrived.

Out of Zack's request, he personally took some time off to teach Zack how to use, handle and maintain firearms.

When Zack showed him his stash of weapons, he gulped at the sight of the premium firearms that this Minister's son has.

If not for his background, the weapons, the food, and the car might have been confiscated.

"I understood everything. Thanks for the tips. I'll make sure to mention you to my father." (Zack)

"T-t-thank you Your Esteemed, ah no, Young Master Zack! This lowly one here will remember this great moment forever!!" (Sargeant Kamarudin)

What does getting one's name mentioned to a minister meant?

Promotions, of course!

More authority, more opportunities and more resources would present themselves to him when he gets promoted!

*schzz*

{{Mother Hen to Alpha 3!Mother Hen to Alpha 3!!}}

{{Another corpse tide is heading towards our location!}}

{{Its moving at a considerable speed from northeast!}}

{{Alpha 3, please respond, Alpha 3, please respond}}

Frowns appeared on the sargeants tired face. Zack looked at him and senses a disturbance in the ground.

His Super Senses tells him that a zombie horde is indeed heading towards this police base!

{{Mother Hen, this is Alpha 3! I repeat, this is Alpha 3}}

{{Status Report! How many are we talking about this time?}}

Then, the Sergeant and Zack couldn't believe the reply that the Control Tower gave them.

{{Alpha 3, the count is approximately...in the thousands, possibly 1200 or more!}}

The blood in both of their faces was immediately drained.

{{Mother Hen, assemble all Corporals and Lance Corporals in the Primary Meeting Room. RIGHT NOW!! Announce CODE RED! I repeat, announce CODE RED!!}}

"Sargeant, I'll prepare myself and my friends to engage the undeads together with force." (Zack)

"No!! Young Master, forgive me for being disrespectful, but under any circumstances, your safety must be a priority! You must never be injured or hurt!" (Sargeant Kamarudin)

He felt touched. Despite no higher ranking officials around, he still insisted to secure his safety. He would definitely make his life easier.

___

The police base has a perimeter of 2 kilometers. The gates and walls surrounding it was lightly fortified, contributed by the fast and efficient efforts of 30 to 40 police officers.

"TEAM ALPHA TO THE GATES! TEAM BETA AND TEAM CHARLIE WILL GUARD THE RIGHT FLANK AND LEFT FLANK!" a strong, but fatigued voice was heard screaming to the 30-odd police force guarding the base.

The highest ranked officer in the base, Inspector Sahab, was a tall, slightly plump looking man nearing his 50s.

The crowd of undeads heading towards them this time was overwhelming. The ammunitions stock that they have might not be enough to completely wipe out the zombies.

"TEAM DELTA, LISTEN UP!! YOU ARE THE STARS OF THE SHOW. REMEMBER, GUARD THE REAR CAREFULLY AND MAKE SURE THE VIPs ARE SAFE!!" (Inspector Sahab)

SIR YES SIR!!!

The VIPs that he referred to was exactly the trio. Mel, Chai and Zack are their current priority protection target.

Meanwhile, Chai just finished freshening up when he heard some commotions outside the room.

(This feeling...something isn't right. Sh*t, just when we got ourselves some break…)

Chai rushed out the room and saw an officer standing guard nearby.

"Hey bro. What's the fuss about? Everyone seemed crazy restless." (Chai)

"Sir, we assure that the situation is under control. Your safety are the number one priority to us currently, please calm down."

Chai could catch the subtle nervousness on the officer's face.

"Alright, cool. I'll chill in the room first. Holler if anything's up!" (Chai)

In the room, Chai swiftly began to put on his combat gears.

"Mel, hey, wake up. F*ck, you really sleep like that princess in a storybook."

Chai lightly shook her body to wake her up. Seeing that she's sleeping deeply and soundly, he became annoyed.

SMMMMACK!

"OUCHHH! Hey I have no class today so leave me alone!"

Melissa murmured in shock when Chai smacked her healthy, supple feminine butt. Half-awake, half-asleep, she slowly laid down back again on the couch...

SMMMMACK!

"HEY! Don't you dare go back to sleep! Mel! Something's wrong outside! GET UP!! WE GOTTA MOVE!!" (Chai)

Melissa woke up abruptly, half-dazed as her tender behind was slapped by Chai. In her confusion, she had forgotten that a man has harassed her body and automatically got into a high alert mode instead.

"C-Chai...what's going on..did the army choppers came already?" (Melissa)

"You moron, a chopper's sound is so freakin loud that you'll wake up immediately! Come on, suit up, I'm taking you outta here!" (Chai)

"Hey! I'm not a moron! But my dad said the army will come pick me up with helicopters…" said Melissa in a confused state.

"I know, but our lives could be in danger right now! Sh*t, no time to explain!! F***** hurry up and get ready!!"

Melissa obediently followed Chai's instruction. As he was her savior, she decided to trust his words.

A few minutes has passed since the the order to defend the base was given. All the teams are currently in position.

A figure clad in the police bulletproof Kevlar vest and helmet labelling 'POLIS' seemed to be carrying another two sets of police uniforms and equipments.

It then headed towards the VIP Room. It greeted the guards casually and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" (Chai)

Without replying, the figure went into the room. He placed the police equipments on the expensive-looking marble table.

Chai and Melissa looked at the figure suspiciously.

(I thought the guys here were scared of us? Either this dude has some balls, or…)

Chai almost got into his fighting position, when the figure took off his helmet.

"ZACK!" screamed Melissa.

"Guys, bad news. Undeads are going to surround the base in next few minutes. We have to prepare." (Zack)

"What's with the police gear, bro? You into stealing uniforms and sh*t?" (Chai)

"Do I look like a thief to you?! Put them on, I'll explain later. We gotta get out of here, NOW!" (Zack)

Melissa and Chai replaced their combat vests and helmets with the ones with the "POLIS" label on it.

RRRROOOAAARRR!! RRRROOOAAARRR!! RRRROOOAAARRR!!

DA DA DA! DA DA DA! DA DA DA DA DA DA!

Rounds and rounds of bullets were shot. The battlefield was in chaos!

{{MOTHER HEN THIS IS TEAM BETA!}}

{{WE ARE GOING LOW ON BULLETS! REQUESTING SUPPLY!}}

{{I REPEAT!! REQUESTING SUPPLY!!!}}

Bodies upon bodies fell to the ground as the zombies was shot mercilessly.

Even after a few minutes of shooting, the zombies' numbers doesn't seem to go down!

{{REQUESTING BACKUP! MAN DOWN ON TEAM ALPHA!}}

{{MOTHER HEN TEAM CHARLIE IS OUTNUMBERED! WE CAN'T HOLD ON MUCH LONGER!!}}

The situation looked bleaked.

Inside, the mass civilians relying on the protection of the blue uniforms starts to panic.

Cries could be heard. Words and chants of prayers were recited.

Mothers hugged their children. Men were cowering in corners, while some finding places to hide.

To them, the end is here. There was no hope left.

Suddenly, a tough, sleek looking black SUV sped to the left flank of the base.

Three dark silhouettes rushed out of the car, and got behind the barricades. They started taking positions, and began shooting!

10 zombies down.

18 zombies down.

26 zombies down.

Bodies of undead dropped at an alarming rate, signifying amazing accuracy.

{{MOTHER HEN, THIS IS TEAM CHARLIE! WE RECEIVED BACKUP! WE RECEIVED BACKUP!}}

Inspector Sahab was dumbfounded. When did he sent backup to the left flank? Other teams were occupied to the max!

{{TEAM CHARLIE! WHICH OFFICERS CAME FOR BACKUP?}}

The team's captain turned to look at the three new officers.

Two men and a woman. They seemed familiar.

He approached them and asked "Good job officers. We were saved in the nick of time! May I know your names and ranks?"

"Uh..call me Jerry. He's Tom, and this girl here is, uh..Scarlet Witch."

WAIT A MINUTE!

Aren't they the three top-priority VIPs? What are they doing here?

"SIR! PLEASE RETURN TO THE ROOM RIGHT NOW!" (Captain)

Their identities were exposed. It was Zack, Melissa and Chai.

"The hell, Scarlet Witch?! Can't you give Mel a decent female name? F*ck!" (Zack)

"Screw this s***! Hey Cap bro, let us help you kill the zombies! You're low on people anyways right? You see those dead-as* bodies down there? We killed almost half of it!" (Chai)

The captain almost vomited blood. What Chai said was right, and he had no choice.

"GUYSSS!! Incoming!!!"

Melissa screamed towards the men and start shooting again.

"F*** yeah come on experience points!"

Chai dashed to the barricades and resumed shooting.

Zack put his hand on the Captain's. "Captain, time is critical. More men will die if we do nothing. Please let us help out. I will personally talk the to highest person in charge about this. You will not be compromised. You have my word."

The captain made a complicated face.

Just as he was about to say anything, Zack disappeared and appeared at the barricades the next second.

TATATATATA! TATATATATA! TATATATATA! TATATATATA!

The zombie dead counts continue to rise, reaching the hundreds!

The trio are fuc*** killing it!
