365 Speak of the Devil
I remembered that we had jokingly referred to Chen Zi Han's powers as famine because he was able to take away the essence of what was inside a zombie. Maybe we weren't too far off. "Chen Zi Han is Famine?" I asked cautiously. I mean, how could a man whose main goal in life seemed to be feeding me actually be Famine?
"Yup," replied Cerberus with a chuckle. "Weird, huh?"
"Yeah, it seems to go against his need to nurture completely," I said with a chuckle of my own.
"Ah, but haven't you noticed that he only needs to nurture you? The other guys are fed as a default. I can promise you that nobody would be eating that night if you weren't around to eat." I took a moment to think about what he had said. Yeah, Chen Zi Han really did have a different attitude toward me than anyone else. But hey, I wasn't complaining. I liked being special.
"All right, that would make Liu Wei Death?" I asked, still not believing it. I didn't really know what I thought about when it came to how a reaper or Death should be, but my sweet Liu Wei wasn't it.
"Yup," answered Cerberus. "You are taking all of this much better than I thought you would."
"I have transmigrated once, reincarnated once, am in the middle of a zombie apocalypse with zombies that don't look like zombies, and I have multiple boyfriends with multiple souls inside of them. That doesn't even include the mystery surrounding me. I think knowing that they are the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse is the least of my concerns," I said with a tired sigh.
"And what about the prophecy that the Horsemen are going to bring Hell on Earth?"
"Sounds so much better than how Earth is currently," I continued, not at all worried about any prophecies. In my experience, they normally didn't come to pass. No point in getting my hopes up.
"Good to know," said Cerberus before becoming quiet for a while. I turned up the music on my phone because driving without music wasn't really driving at all.

It took us an hour and a half before we made it to the meeting point that Wang Chao and the commander had agreed upon. Only there was no Wang Chao and no commander.
Cerberus came to a stop, and I got out just as my three men were getting off of their bikes. "Are we too early or too late?" I asked as I went to stand in between Liu Wei and Liu Yu Zeng. Chen Zi Han came up right behind me, and I rested my head on his chest.
"I don't know," replied Liu Wei as he adjusted his glasses. "What do you want to do?"
"It's not so much what I want to do as much as what needs to be done," I said, a grim look on my face. The commander was our ticket to knowing exactly where the device was. Without him, we were looking for a needle in a haystack.
I wasn't as concerned about zombies in the water now that I had my own horde to deal with them. But there was still an issue of sharks and other marine creatures. And the fact that we needed oxygen tanks to breathe under the water meant that we were on a very strict time limit. So, how the fuck were we going to do this?
"Where is the Admiral?" came a voice from a distance behind us. Turning around, we saw the commander strolling towards us with his team in tow. Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.
"Busy," I said with a shrug. If he wasn't here and he wasn't with the commander, I didn't know where he could be. However, I would trust Wang Chao and let him do what he thinks needs to be done. War, on the other hand, I didn't trust as far as I could throw him.
Commander Huang Nian Zu looked at the four of us for a while before nodding his head. "Fine, we still need the help, whether the Admiral is here or not. Let's get going." With those parting words, the commander turned around and walked away.
I looked at my men with a smirk on my face. This man was a bit too complacent if you asked me. I definitely would not trust a group of unknown people to walk behind me. Or maybe he just assumed that because he was military and we were with Wang Chao that we would just accept whatever he would dish out. The poor, poor man was going to learn a very hard lesson about trusting people.
The boys returned my smirk, and we started walking behind the commander and his people.
It took us a few more hours to get to the Navy base, and by that time, the sun was already setting. I could hear the challenging roars of zombies in the distance and chuckled to myself as the members of the Sea Dragon team clutched their hands tighter around their guns like that was going to save them.
I debated the idea of sending out a challenge of my own, but I thought that would be much too much effort on my end. Besides, I also ran the risk of the zombies avoiding the Navy base after I had left, thinking that it was part of my territory.
I was doing more than enough for them. I wasn't going to fight their battles too.
"You guys can sleep out here for the night," said the commander with a smile. "I am sure that it won't be a problem seeing how much you guys sleep outside normally. Liu Wei, if you want, there are quarters available for you in the single officer's barracks."
"Thank you so much for your consideration," said Liu Wei with a kind smile on his face. He readjusted his glasses as he looked at the commander. "But I think it will be safer for me to stay out here with the others."
"You really think that it will be safer outside than in? Fine, it's your choice. Don't say I didn't offer you an alternative," said the commander with a shrug as he and the members of his unit walked through the guarded gates and into the building in front of us.
I tilted my head and studied the operation. "Isn't this exactly how the Navy base was set up in City J?" I asked, not sure if that made sense.
