Rebirth in the Apocalypse: Third Time's a Charm



"We're gone," grunted Chen Zi Han, not bothering with his helmet and instead jumping onto his bike and taking off.

"Kill them all," ordered Wang Chao as he looked at Liu Yu Zeng. The joker of the group only smiled in return.

"I might play with my food a bit first, but yeah, if anything happens to her, I'll make it hurt," said the younger man in a playful manner as if he wasn't talking about people. Then again, there was a definite hierarchy in his head when it came to people.

Sweetness was firmly planted at the top, followed by his three brothers. After that, it was everyone for themselves.

Wang Chao grunted before turning his attention to Liu Wei. "How are you feeling?" he asked concerned. Liu Wei had had his glasses off this entire time. Usually, it would be enough to give him massive headaches until he was sick to his stomach.

"Honestly? Fantastic," replied the other man. He couldn't make out any of the colors around Wang Chao, only the general characteristics in a very black, white, and grey setting. However, he could easily see the bright red flame standing in front of him.

"If you are sure," nodded Wang Chao, not questioning his best friend.

"Let's just say that it is a whole new world out there without my glasses," laughed Liu Wei. There was a big smile on his face, normally reserved for when he had a massacre planned.

"The little one has frozen 1,500 zombies; the rest are ours," shrugged Wang Chao as he went to the newest addition to their group. He was struggling against the zombie in front of him, but he still persisted.

"You've gone back to calling her 'little one'," observed Liu Wei. Going to stand by Wang Chao, he also watched the healer of their group struggling.

"I was worried that she might take it the wrong way or think that I actually thought she was a little girl," started Wang Chao. "But then I realized how many boyfriends and husbands called their significant other 'baby,' and no one thought twice about that. So, why can they say 'baby' without it setting anyone off, but I can't call mine 'little girl' or 'little one'?"

Liu Wei smiled at Wang Chao and placed a hand on the other man's shoulder. "Just admit it," he smiled and watched as Bin An Sha was once again sent flying. "You've stopped hesitating."

"If she can put up with the rest of you and your quirks, then there is no reason why I can't be myself," grunted Wang Chao, more than willing to put an end to the heart-to-heart.

"No point in changing for others when the one person you should care about hasn't said shit," snorted Liu Wei. He turned to look at the zombie hunched over a fallen Bin An Sha, its claws raised in the air to take a chunk out of the human.

He breathed out, and the zombie fell over, dead.

"I had that!" shouted Bin An Sha as he raced to face the next zombie in front of him. "I didn't need your help!"

"Do you think this is how Li Dai Lu felt when we kept rushing into danger?" asked Liu Wei, placing his elbow on Wang Chao's shoulder and leaning on the other man.

"Probably. Remember the hotel incident?" snorted Wang Chao. Seeing a bunch of zombies rushing up to them from the corner of his eyes, he turned his head to look at them. "Kill each other," he said simply and watched as the zombies started to tear each other apart.

"Ugh, how could I forget the hotel incident," groaned Liu Wei. He would fully admit that it was a stupid decision on his part to race into the hotel because he thought that the zombies were going to be as easy to kill as they were on television.

The small striker group of zombies multiplied until they were a good-sized horde, and the two men watched as the numbers continued to grow. "That might come in handy if Li Dai Lu wants to grow her troops," mused Liu Wei before he breathed in, taking all of the hundred or so souls inside of him all at once.

"It really is amazing what the scientists were able to create," grunted Wang Chao. "An unstoppable army that can expand their numbers infinitely, using everyday people who had never hurt another being in their lives.

"But why did they really need to go that far?" returned Liu Wei. "There were men and women in every country that were willing to die so the average person wouldn't need to pick up a gun and kill. Were we really not enough for them? They needed to be so powerful that they were willing to risk the end of the world just to… what? Lord it over the other countries."

Wang Chao snorted at his friend's rant, and both of them cringed as Bin An Sha was kicked through the glass of a nearby building. "You aren't wrong," admitted Wang Chao. "It's not like we are currently in the Warring States period where the only way you could live was to kill someone else. I think it is just mankind's innate inability to just live peacefully with each other. There always needs to be a conflict and a bad guy to destroy. Otherwise, people might actually become happy and content with their lives."

"Whatever it is, Li Dai Lu is going to put a stop to it. And quickly," continued Wang Chao as he watched Bin An Sha stagger out of the building, a giant piece of glass sticking out of his leg.

The two men just stood there as the assassin ripped the shard out of his leg and quickly healed it before rushing back into the fight. "Then again, you can't fix stupid," sighed Liu Wei.

"Nope, you really can't," agreed Wang Chao as, once again, Bin An Sha was sent flying.

"Do you think we should help him?" asked Liu Wei, not sounding overly enthusiastic about saving the other man or concerned about him getting hurt further. 

"Why ruin his fun?" replied Wang Chao with a smile. He wasn't dumb enough not to know what the assassin seemed to have going around in his head. Li Dai Lu was definitely a prize. Just not one he was willing to share with too many others.
