Chapter 95 - Ill take 60% (1/2)
We made another trip and we filled the truck with the small 1-gallon containers. We got 128 pieces and we headed to the generator store from across the street.

I made my way quickly and the rest followed. The katana was definitely more deadly than the wakizashi since it's longer and I wouldn't have to adjust my position from each strike.
Kaley would still use the CZ and the wakizashi from time to time but she felt more comfortable with the AR-15.
”Trying to copy Sky's style, correct?” Tatiana said.
Kaley smiled when Tatiana noticed what's she's doing.
”I try to do it too since it's effective. However, I can't switch between hands like he did. Sky, you're ambidextrous correct?” she said.
”Uh, no. I just practiced on using my left hand a lot. My right arm is dominant against my left though you could say that I'm ambidextrous but not born to be one. However, I tend to use the katana with my right from habit but I could switch them up just fine.” I explained as I tried to open the two padlocks for the roll-up.
”You really had a lot of time on your hands.” Kaley said while helplessly smiling.
”Heh, guard the outside for now, unc. Come with me inside.” I said.
The rest took their stances and they waited for us scout the place first.
It's mostly filled with gas-powered generators while there's a few solar ones. On the wall beside the counter are a few car batteries that I took a mental note of it. The place was clear so I headed outside to guard for zombies as I let my uncle and the rest haul the items.
My katana is on my right while the Glock 19 is on my left. I left Kaley and Tatiana on the truck while I moved a bit forward to clear more zombies around.
”What are you doing?!” Kaley exclaimed.
”He's clearing as much of them as possible. He did the same when we were getting gas. He said to kill as much as possible to reduce the risk of them.” Tatiana said.
”Kaley, watch my back yeah? Tatiana watch for the guys loading the truck from any blind spots, I'll stretch my bones for a while.” I said.
”Catch.” I heard Kaley say as she threw my wakizashi over.
I caught it after quickly holstering my Glock.
”Smooth.” She said.
I fastened the sheath on my belt and I drew it with my left hand. I felt a nostalgic feeling but my head started to itch.
”Nope.” I said as I sheathed it back and threw it towards Kaley.
”Why?!” she exclaimed.
”It's asymmetrical. My head itches if I hold them together.” I replied flatly.
”Pfft!” I heard her hold her laughter.
I drew the pistol once more and I started on moving in a semi-circle to clear a few that I encounter.
Quick flowing slash after quick flowing slash. Bodies are hitting the floor each time I swing my blade. Kaley would occasionally help by bringing down one or two that are in a clump. Jared started on aiming on the few that are 100-500 yards away to practice his shooting. The sound of the muffled M70 is always followed by his cheer when I notice from my peripheral vision that a figure from far away would fall down.
”Nice shooting.” Kaley praised.
”Thanks, I start to have trouble when it reaches 600+ yards.” Jared said.
”Why would you need to shoot that far though?” Kaley asked.
”Well, it's awesome to do it. Sky can shoot much farther than me since he can read the wind properly.” he replied.
”How far is his record then?” Tatiana asked.
”1000 yards. We went to an outdoor range once. The guys there said he was just lucky so he unloaded the 4 bullets that are left in the M24 that Oscar gave him. Long story short, the guys there ate their words. They said after that the world record is 2707 yards and they started to downplay him.” he replied.
”What did he say then?” Kaley asked.
”Nothing, I thought he was gonna talk back but he just kept on smiling on a corner.” he replied.
I was still within earshot hearing their conversation and I just said to myself, ”I already went past that record. Though it is still shorter than the top record by a lot, I could unload a whole clip and still hit accurately at that distance.”
The group is taking a bit of time now since the generators and the car batteries are much heavier than the plastic water tanks. They would lift it up over the truck while Jared slides it in place.
I never did use my pistol because of Kaley backing me up so I just holstered it and drew the scabbard. I would use it as a stick for deflecting hands while I use the katana for finishing them off. I kinda felt like Ikkaku when he first appeared in the show I was watching before.
After half an hour, I managed to kill a few dozen before they called me over. I flicked the katana to get rid of the blood invading the blade. I wiped the still remaining blood off by using a rag and noticed that the blood never reached the hand guard.
