Chapter 450 - Updates - We’ll see if my idea has some merit to it... (2/2)
”Okay, great work Vera. Just update me whenever and as soon as possible, okay?” I ended our short conversation.
Vera decided to return to the Radio Station and continue her job then I received a couple of taps on my back.
”Here, I charged them before I fell asleep but if they're only running the app we coded, it could last for a while. However, I also hooked them up with a spare battery as an added measure but it just looks a little ugly. But hey, as long as it works, right?” Kris said as he handed me a box of cheap smartphones.
”Yeah, you don't have to add cosmetics to this thing.” I chuckled then Kris bid goodbye.
”Are we gonna leave bro?” Jared was lazily standing at the back of the Raptor we would be using.
”Heh, one more stop, I promise.” I said as I chuckled.
”One more? Where?” Kaley asked.
”Nah, just kidding. We'll head back to the chapel where we left the bodies to install these things. We never know, they might not be there anymore.” I replied.
”By 'install', you mean we're gonna dig up-” Jared misunderstood so I immediately corrected him.
”No, we're just gonna place it inside their pockets or something then we leave it alone for a while. If they relocated or something, the phone would send a signal through the relay every minute so we could track its general location.” I explained.
”Finally, I really wanted to know how they could do that bro. It just changed the f.u.c.k.i.n.g dynamic of how we approach them. It's like in the show where they have to figure out the dead ones from the masked ones but in our case, we have to figure out the dead ones from the deader ones...” Jared added.
”Really dude, 'deader'?” I chuckled.
”Heh, what else could we call them? Deaderer?” Jared piled on.
We just shook our head in amus.e.m.e.nt as we drove towards the chapel. It was a straight shot towards it and Jared and Kaley were enjoying the drive. It was because the two of them were behind the Raptor, freely shooting anything that moved. I could barely see Ibarra wearing an astonished expression seeing the two shoot with great accuracy. However, I discovered I was wrong because he was just stunned by the number of bullets the two were going through.
'After the number of bullets I showed him we could make everyday...' I sighed inwardly but I was slightly amused.
It took us a few minutes but we managed to reach the chapel.
Mikhail and Ibarra immediately jumped down for two different reasons. Mikhail jumped down to test out his new weapon while Ibarra jumped down to clear the dead with his machete, making Jared and Kaley stop shooting even for a moment.
I almost felt sorry for the ones Mikhail was chopping to pieces but even I wanted to let loose seeing him felling body after body with one swing. The added weight with the weapon he was using made it unwieldy for a normal person but it offered great destructive power even more so when you use the hammer side. It was the perfect weapon for him because it greatly synergized with his physical strength. Even I would have a hard time wielding it but I know one other person that could as easily handle that.
It took us a short while clearing the bodies that littered the streets but we eventually managed to open the gates to the chapel where we stored a dozen bodies for recon work.
All of them were still inside and they never moved a muscle.
”I hoped at least one moved, but they didn't...” Jared muttered.
”Play 'Baby' or 'Friday' and maybe that'll work.” I joked.
As soon as I said that, their faces contorted to a smile but I continued to work on our little idea.
I brought out the box of smartphones we had and I started to nestle one inside one of their pockets. Some of them were wearing skirts or robes so we used bandages to hold the phones close to their bodies and left the area while leaving the gate open. We also sprayed their clothes with paint so it could be classified as a 'avoid for now' zombie that we needed to get information out of.
'We'll see if my idea has some merit to it...' I thought to myself.
