GUNSHOTS

[3 days later] [Indianapolis]

Due to the bad roads and blockages, it took three days to reach Indianapolis. We haven't rested a bit and just drove, but I think it's best to take some rest now and check on the cars. We can't have them broken down in mid-journey. We need to stock up on some water. Although we aren't lacking anything at the moment other than water, since we are here, why not pick up some more resources?

We've been lucky until now. But who knows what's waiting for us up ahead? I'm gonna assume the worst. We have to prepare as much as we can.

Speaking of which, we parked our cars and trucks at a motorsports shop. Since we are going to tune our cars, might as well set up our temporary base here. A few zombies were walking around the streets, which my team took care of. As for survivors, yeah, there were a few groups around in the buildings nearby, but they weren't as big as ours. We won't get in their way as long as they don't get in ours.

Jace and I cleared out the building. There were twenty regular zombies in there. My strength has increased after synchronizing with Spiderman's power. I'm stronger and faster than before. I don't know how far will my power increase once the synchro reaches 100%. But right now, my senses are like... How should I explain? Like radar... I can sense things around me even though I can't see them. I can hear footsteps, and voices, and smell food from miles away... Yeah, I'm getting crazy enhanced senses here. Heck, I can even see in the dark and far away from my location.

I wish I get that web-slinging power as well, but not yet. I can't even climb walls, yet... Anyway, let's focus on the task at hand.

Ange and her team had taken to the roof, setting up a lookout post. From their vantage point, they could see any potential threats approaching from a distance. The perimeter was being fortified with makeshift barricades, a mix of overturned cars, and hastily made wooden barriers.

Jace wanted to look around, so he left with his team for scavenging. The rest were busy taking out the zombies out of the building and burning them. Mia, Nina, and Cecil were checking on the cars. Our group mechanic and self-proclaimed car expert, Vance, was busy fiddling with the truck's motor. I wanted to ask what kind of name was that, but who cares? As long as he's doing his job.

Everyone was busy, excluding Tyger and Jenny due to their injuries.

"Tyger, how's that leg holding up?" I asked, checking in with her as she directed a few men to move debris away from the main entrance.

She grinned, wincing slightly as she adjusted her position. "I'll live. Just don't expect me to run any marathons soon. Anyway, you seen those apartments around the corner?"

"Yeah, survivors... Saw them scurrying away when we rolled into town. Why?" I asked.

"There's a serial killer among them. Although she was hiding her face, that tattoo on her arms says it all."

"Serial Killer? How do you know?" I asked with a frown.

"Before the apocalypse, as you already know, I was the head of a mafia family. And thanks to that, I had to deal with lowlifes like serial killers every now and then. I recognize that tattoo. It belongs to a very dangerous gang. They are expert in silent assassination. Heck, the victim won't even know who killed them until the very last second when they lay dying on the ground," Tyger explained in a low voice.

"So, you think she's targeting those survivors? Or, maybe taking them hostage or trying to mingle with them only to kill them and run away with their resources?" I asked.

"Maybe... But maybe she is trying to rebuild the organization once again. Those survivors with her might be the ones she's training. I don't know for sure, Karl, but either way, let's not mess with them for now. It's better to just keep it to ourselves for now," She suggested.

"I agree. But just in case, I'll keep an eye out for them. We don't want any surprises if possible. But if she's really a killer, then it's better to get rid of her right now rather than waiting for her and her team to get a jump on us in our sleep. That's why..." I contacted the sniper team over the radio. "Ange, do you see that apartment complex across the street?"

"Yeah... Why?"

"New orders. Keep your eyes on a masked girl with tattooed arms and monitor the survivors in there. If you see any suspicious activity, report it to me right away."

"Sure thing..."

.

The day was clear and crisp, the sun casting a warm, golden glow over the debris-strewn streets of Indianapolis. As the team settled into their tasks, I decided to take a walk with Lisa. She needed the fresh air as much as I did, and besides, it would give us a chance to talk. We haven't spent much alone time lately.

She was sitting on the hood of the car and jumped down, noticing me walking toward her.

"I'm going to take a look around the neighbor, wanna tag along?" I asked.

Lisa smiled and nodded. "Sure. I could use some stretching."

We left the parking lot and walked toward the main road. There were no zombies in sight, at least from what my enhanced senses could pick up. The survivors must have made sure to keep the routes clear for themselves.

As we walked in silence, our arms brushed against each other. She looked at me and smiled as I held her hand, our fingers interlacing. I couldn't help but smile back, my heart beating a little faster as we continued walking.

After a while, Lisa broke the silence. "I wonder how many zombies are still out there."

"Who knows... A lot, I guess," I said.

"So, you and Mia... You two look great together, you know." She commented, changing the topic all of a sudden.

I shrugged. "Thanks... She's great. But." I pulled her into the alley on our right, pressing her against the wall as I kissed her. There was no one around the area. So, it's somewhat safe at the moment. She responded eagerly, our lips meeting in a passionate kiss. I wrapped my arms around her waist and lifted her off the ground. Her legs wrapped around my hips as she deepened the kiss, her fingers digging into my shoulders.

It felt like forever since we've been intimate. Last time, I didn't even get to kiss her pussy and breasts, but this time, I won't back down anymore. She didn't want to cross the boundary before, yet was ready to accept my kiss on her pussy... She must be suppressing her urges for a very long time.

After kissing for a bit, we parted.

Our foreheads were touching as I whispered. "I missed you. I didn't get to give you those three kisses back then, how about I give them right now?"

"You got two kisses left, now that you kissed my lips just now... Better make them count, Karl," She teased.

"Don't worry, I will," I chuckled as I let her down.

"So, where do you want to kiss next?" She asked while rubbing my boner with her knee.

"Your breast," I answered with my eyes glued to her melons.

Lisa took a quick glance around before raising her shirt and revealing her black bra. She lowered the right cup, letting her jiggly boob out in the open. "Kiss it," She commanded.

I immediately grabbed her right nipple between my lips, sucking on it gently as she stifled a moan.

"Mhmm~ That's not kissing~Shit!" She moaned as I started licking her nub. Her nipple hardened in my mouth as I sucked on it, my tongue swirling around the sensitive flesh. "Enough." She pushed my face away with a sly smirk. She likes to control me whenever we get intimate. Maybe she has a dominating fetish? Whatever... I'm not complaining.

"Next?" She asked after fixing her shirt.

"Down there, your clit," I replied without hesitation.

[Bang! Bang!] The sound of two consecutive gunshots reached our ears.

"Fuck! Not again!" Both of us cursed simultaneously. Last time the same thing happened when I was just about to kiss her pussy, now again. Fuck my luck! I don't sense anyone around the area. That shot came from the north.
