QT: Against My Will

119 3.06.24 – Showdown – Downfall of Humanity

Inside a tent, four drone pilots slowly lured all the zombies out of the city according to Ren Han’s instructions.

While waiting for the pilots to lure in all the zombies from city C, soldiers took a break to fill up their tummies.

Today’s lunch was cheese tortellini and minced pork, crackers with peanut butter as a snack, and two cups of hot coffee for a long night, which they poured inside their thermos. Seated behind a table, without fear, pumped with adrenaline, they chatted with each other in their bonding language filled with...

“We are going to fuck down those fucking cunts till their fucking brains burst out from too much fucking!” One of the combat team leaders yelled out.

“Fuck yes!” Laughter commenced in the vicinity.

But as soon as Bing Shi appeared with her food tray, for a second, you could hear a pin drop on the floor. She was a woman and a ‘nonsoldier’ to the boots. They still had some conduct and held back on swearing.

“I heard everything. Don’t mind me, just continue,” said Bing Shi as she walked towards her tent.

‘A leader has to understand what soldiers have to deal with, such as their hopes, frustrations, and traumas.’

‘The language they use becomes less important than a message they try to convey.’

.....

Pulling down her mask, Bing Shi looked at the gruesome thing on her tray. Shrugging her shoulders, she took a spoon and started to eat quietly.

Not a crumble was left behind.

If someone from her previous life saw how the prominent heiress ate military rations without complaining and grimacing in disgust, they’d be too surprised to speak.

That’s why Bing Shi was so liked by her parents; she was too easy to raise. Give little Bing Shi bread for a week, she would eat bread for a week, give her rice with soy sauce for the morning, lunch and dinner, and she would eat rice with soy sauce for a month. She learned how to cook for Xuan Mu. As for herself, as long as her stomach was filled, she didn’t care.

Remembering her childhood, Xuan Mu founded Fenlin just to pamper Bing Shi’s stomach. But this girl, after tasting all the world delicacies, would always come back to her sweet potatoes...

At the top of the platform, Bing Shi, with two rifles in her hands, walked around the soldiers. Searching for an empty spot, she stopped between Yi Zen and Ren Han, “...”

Bing Shi poked Yi Zen with her rifle, “Hey, do you want me to end up as a laughing stock by positioning me between two geniuses?”

“...” Did she just poke Yi Zen with a rifle?!

Ren Han laughed in amusement while Yi Zen looked at the person, who’s aura screamed ‘I’m bad at shooting,’ with a clear mind. Enduring her absurdity for a year, he didn’t find anything amiss with her behavior, “I was afraid you wouldn’t be able to keep up with others.”

“Oh, good reason.” Without whining, Bing Shi sat down at the cushion, setting her rifle on a tripod, she took out another small tripod from her backpack and set the second rifle for Kuro to play with. Feeling all the stares at her, she lifted her head, “What?”

“Does it know how to shoot?” One of the soldiers asked.

Bing Shi nodded proudly, “Of course, I was the one who taught Kuro.”

“...” They didn’t feel assured at all! Wasn’t she going to waste all the bullets?!

Ren Han blinked at the snake next to him. As long as Kuro didn’t open its mouth at him, he should be fine...

... perhaps.

What surprised him was that Bing Shi exchanged her seat with Kuro.

‘I have far more important things to do than taking revenge on a teenager. It’d be bad if his performance declined because of Kuro.’

Bing Shi spoke with a grin, “Happy to be sitting next to me?”

Ren Han looked away with a sly smile.

“Why are you so silent?” Bing Shi frowned in displeasure, “You should be cursing at me.”

‘Come on, don’t OOC.’

“Grandson, don’t be shy. Grandma doesn’t mind.”

Ren Han sent Bing Shi a message.

Ren Han: I wonder what my teammate’s reaction would be if they knew how my grandma looks like in all her glory.

Then, he took out a nude picture out of his vest pocket and looked at it provocatively.

‘Boy, you have no idea.’

‘I have years of practice.’

Bing Shi: How sweet of you, keeping Lulu Tan’s picture with you. As soon as I leave, you can ask her to be your girlfriend.

Ren Han responded with a frown.

Ren Han: Till then, it’s still your body.

Bing Shi: If you want to brag about me before your friends...Here, meet my boyfriend and me.

Bing Shi sent him a picture of herself in tiger pajamas and Xuan Mu.

When she looked up to see his expression, the man on the other side was wearing a gas mask.

‘When did he find time to put on a gas mask?!’

Seeing the couple photo, oh, how much Ren Han wanted to curse at her, gnashing his teeth, he stared at the unfamiliar girl in the picture with contempt. He was so used to imagine Bing Shi as LuLu Tan, so this became a great shock to him.

‘So ugly.’ He then looked at the man in a simple black T-shirt. Ren Han didn’t want to admit it, but the man was oddly familiar, and he disliked every bit of this annoying feeling. ‘Why is he so fucking happy?!’

That mysterious man shouldn’t be that happy... Putting the phone back in his vest pocket, full of resentment, he waited impatiently for the first batch of zombies to appear.

So what if it was a fake photo, it’s not like he could delete it from his memories. He would instead Bing Shi send him an old grandma or something. Now, the Bing Shi in his mind changed from the cute LuLu Tan into a woman with black-rimmed eyeglasses, wearing tiger pajamas. And it suited Bing Shi’s persona so much that he started to believe it!
