Chapter 305 – I’ll Kill You That Way

  Jayr POV - Earth, Geia, King ty - 2010

  A tense silence falls into the cargo truck shortly after I finished narrating the what if sario I created and asking Duane what he would feel if he saw his dead body actually killing his own mother.

  I calmly tio drive while waiting for Duao answer and after some time, he says, "I... I would feel very, very bad. I mean even if it isn't me, that's still my body, and it hurt Mom... I for sure wish that someone would have stopped... ah!"

  At this point, Duane suddenly excims as he realizes what I'm trying to tell him, at the same time, I look at Man who is looking down with a frown on his face while g his fists making it clear that the what-if sario also had an effe him, especially since he easily exged the image of his wife with that of his son making him realize that if I didn't take care of his wife turned walker, what I just told them would have likely happened and he would have lost his son too because of it.

  After that, silence falls once again within the cargo truck as both Duane and Man are immersed ihoughts and I remain in sileo not disturb or upset them with unwanted words, fog on the road ahead.

  Before long, we finally arrive at our destination and I calmly park the cargo tru front of Man's house, but as soon as I turn off the engine, I hear Duane's voice as he meekly asks, "Doctor Jayr... does heaven really exist? Is Mom truly there watg over me and Dad?"

  Hearing that question, I look at the kid, gently smile, and reply, "While I'm not 100% sure that it exists, I also think that if it exists something as absurd as something that causes dead bodies to move and attack the living, then the existence of something like heaven is also possible. In addition, the existence or ence of heave ge the fact that your mother truly loved you very, very mud surely wanted you to be as happy ahy as possible, isn't it?"

  Seeing Duane nod in respoo my words, I take the keys, open the cargo truck's door, a out of the vehicle while saying, "Now get out of this truck. You still have to learn how to properly shoot from your father after all, there are still many walkers in the world and it is essential to know how to defend oneself and the one we love."

  Hearing that, Duane smiles and jumps down from the cargo truck with the stainless steel urn in his hands followed by his father Man before the two quickly walk into the house as Duane urges his father to hurry up.

  Shortly after that, I follow after them, walk into the house, ahat Man and Duane have already started preparing the garden for their shooting practice.

  Then seeing that it is still early afternoon, I decide to do something else and quickly inform them that I'm going to explore the surroundings to not only search for supplies but also to take care of a few more walkers and that I'm going to leave the cargo truck here.

  Hearing that, Man told me to be careful, and shorlty after that, I walked out of the house armed only with my Bo Staff chose a random dire, and then, I started to run at a speed slightly below the speed of sound quickly killing all the walkers I enter on the way with a single swing but after a few seds of doing that, I realize that this method is way too ineffit and decide to ge it.

  I quickly run toward King ty Park which is luckily very close to the ter of this rur town and without aation I pull out the ultimate on I created in case I find myself in a Zombie Apocalypse world.

  It is a Boombox, more specifically the Ultimate Boombox that I personally created using the teology of the Teoppa Gurren Lagann Universe, which is the reason why it has an internal ste so huge that it basically hold a limitless number of songs beside the fact that it gee drills to ect to other pieces of teology like a mini-type Gunmen.

  Every single po is made by a bination of Azantium, which is sidered to be the hardest substan the Arifureta Univers, and Orichalcum the hardest metal in my home universe, in addition to many other rare and very resistant materials which makes it almost iructible.

  It uses regur electricity as an energy source, but like the Gu vert Sor Energy into enough electricity to power a city, in addition to that it also covert Magic Power, o, and Spiral o so that it be easily recharged by simply staying in my Soulbouory.

  And of course, its speakers are also quite powerful to the point that I think I went a little bit too far as at max power it gee sounds loud enough that actually harm and kill a normal human and even damage and shatter steel, luckily when I realized that, I also installed a safety meism and thanks to that to raise the volume so mue o actually say a password when requested, in addition to inputting a registered Spiral o signature, of course, the only ones have the ability to do so are my wives so it is quite safe.

  In addition to all that, I also enhanced with cept Magic making it possible for the music produced by it to be basically heard across a multiverse if I chose to do it, of course, in this universe, this isn't an option as magi't be used.

  I put the Ultimate Boombox on the ground ahe volume loud enough to be heard quite far, and then, without aation, I put on one of the songs I save into its database, and since I feel in the mood for some Japaal, I decide to put on What's up People of Maximum the Hormone, one of the opening songs of Death Note.

  As the sounds of drums aric guitars start to fill the air, I calmly hold the Bo Staff in front of the Boombox and wait for the walkers attracted by the sound to arrive while enjoying the songs that bring up the memories of that thrilling anime.

  "?Benri benri banzai benri benri banzai. Benri benri banzai ningen. Benri benri banzai benri benri banzai. Benri benri banzai ningen. Hora biribiri ikarasu ka? Biribiri ikarasu ka? Biribiri ikarasu ka? Ningen. Hora biribiri ikarasu ka? Biribiri ikarasu ka? Biribiri ikarasu ka? Ningen.? (You're handy, handy, hurrah! Handy, handy, hurrah!Handy, handy, hurrah! You human. You're handy, handy, hurrah! Handy, handy, hurrah! Handy, handy, hurrah! You human. Hey! Are you trembling with rage? Are you trembling with rage? Are you trembling with rage? Human?! Hey! Are you trembling with rage? Are you trembling with rage? Are you trembling with rage? Human?!)"

  While listening to the song and waiting for the attracted walkers to ce to my position, I mutter, "For a moment, I was tempted to put on Master of Puppets of Metalliewhat recreate that iient from the TV show Strahings, especially sihe lyrics are somewhat fitting to this setting. But the song is just way too epic to waste it on a simple up operation without people to witness such a se in awe..."

  "?WHAT'S UP fuanzai ippai. Hanzai kienai towa ni. WHAT'S UP fuanzai ippai. (Urami ni wana dare daun?) WHAT'S UP fuanzai ippai. Hanzai kienai towa ni. WHAT'S UP fuanzai ippai. Ikiru imi tsumaran ka? Ikiru imi tsumaran ka?. Ikiru imi tsumaran ka? Ningen. Ikiru imi tsumaran ka? Ikiru imi tsumaran ka? Ikiru imi tsumaran ka? Ningen.? (WHAT'S UP, filled with uneasiness. That crime ever vanish, ever. WHAT'S UP, filled with uneasiness. (Who is down irap of rese?) WHAT'S UP, filled with uneasiness. That crime ever vanish, ever. WHAT'S UP, filled with uneasiness. Is your life b? Is your life b? Is your life b? Human? Is your life b? Is your life b? Is your life b? Human?)"

  As the song tio py, I notice that some walkers are already starting to appear in the distance sloroag my position as are getting attracted by the loud music produced by the Ultimate Boombox, but even then, I don't rush toward them and wait for them to get even closer as it will be easier to up after I'm done if all the corpse are gathered in one pce.

  Ohe walkers are close enough, I don't hesitate any more and rush toward them quickly taking them out by swinging the Bo Staff and using my legs to kick their heads with enough force to turn them into a messy paste as the song tio attract more and more walkers.

  But after around 4 minutes and hundreds of walkers eliminated with hundreds more still approag, the song ends and since I fot to create a pylist, the Ultimate Boombox starts to py a new song by choosing randomly among all the songs iabase and quickly the soft notes of an acustic guitar start to reverberate in the air.

  I immediately reize the song, it is I Want It That Way by the Backstreet Boys, and realizing that, I shrugh my shoulder and tio deal with the walker while thinking, 'At the least, it isn't an embarrassing song like Taylor Swift's We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together, or Call Me Maybe of Carly Rae Jepsen. Or even worse the song I want to use to torture my enemy's soul, Baby of Justin Bieber... The walkers are already pitiful enough, they don't deserve such fate...'

  But shortly after the guitar intro the song starts and I immediately notice that something is wrong with the lyrics.

  "?Yeah. Yeaah. I'll set, you on fire. With gas, and a lighteeer. You'll scream, when I say. I'll kill you that way. Sidney, my knife in, the dark. Will reach to, your heart. I'm Ghostface, and I'll kill you that way. When you die. Aint nothing but a dream state. When you die. Aint nothing like Camp Crystal Lake. Tell me why, I'ts nothing but a sick game. I'll kill you that way?"

  Hearing that, I smirk realizing that the song is in fact the parody of I Want It That Way created by The Merkins that is aptly named I'll Kill You That Way and so I tio dispose of walkers with that song as background music.

  (AN: The group and song really exist and if you are curious and want, need a good ugh, or simply want to waste some time I suggest you go to Y**tube and search for them. They are actually quite good singers and made many parodies of famous songs. This is especially true for those who are fans of horror movies as they dress up as iic Horror characters adapting the lyrics to their stories.)

  Soon this song also ends and only a few dozen walkers are remaining but then what I feared the worst happens as a few cheerful art to be produced by the Ultimate Boombox and I start to feel an intense pain in my soul and an annoying voice starts to sing.

  "?Oh-ooh-whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh. Oh-ooh-whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh. Oh-ooh-whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh. You know you love me (yo), I know you care (uh-huh). Just shout whenever (yo), and I'll be there (uh-huh). You are my love (yo), you are my heart (uh-huh). And we will never, ever, ever be apart (yo, uh-huh). Are we an item? (Yo) girl, quit pyin' (uh-huh). We're just friends (yo), what are you sayin'? (Uh-huh.) Said, There's another (yo), and looked right in my eyes (uh-huh.) My first love broke my heart for the first time, and I was like (yo, uh-huh.) Baby, baby, baby, oh. Like, Baby, baby, baby, no. Like, "Baby, baby, baby, oh. I thought you'd always be mine, mine.?"

  At the same time, what I hought possible happened as the walkers suddenly stopped advang and started to quickly retreat as fast as their deg bodies allowed them, some even started to actually run just to get as far aossible from this soul crushing noise.

  In addition, I notice that some of the walkers even fall on the ground with their bodies stantly twitg and they mournfully moan as if they are feeling actual pain.

  Seeing that, I don't hesitate to quickly throw a sto the Ultimate Boombox to hit the buttom that shut it off before I quickly run to mercifully put out of misery the remaing walkers.

  Shortly after that, I create a big hole in the ground with a precise single pund start to dump all the corpses into the hole while muttering, "Damn, that song is way too dangerous! I mean how it is possible that it is able to even trahe rules of the Omniverse and cause actual harm!? I mean the walkers are biologically uo feel pain as they are simply moving corpses fod's sake!"

  At this point, I hear Culture's voi my mind as it expins, [Yeah, sorry about that... this is kinda my fault. I may or may not made fun of the cept of Music for having that abomination sidered actual musi front of all the other cepts that may have then further embarrassed Musiraged and ashamed, Music decided to actually turn that song into a ceptual Anathema before f us to listen to that thing ialiation. Now that dreadful song actually cause whoever listens to it to feel true pain... no matter who, even we cepts aren't excluded. Luckly, at first the musily causes the listeo feel an immense disgust that makes it wish to stop listening to it and then turns into an ever incresing slight pain as the song goes on, but the more one listens to the song, the higher the level of pain one feels and what is worse is that there is no actual limit to the level of pain it produce. Of course, to make sure that no Champion takes too much advantage of this, Musisures that no one abuses this song if they find out its effects. So be careful with that as the punishment is to be forced to listen to the song that 't be named for the same amount of time you've subjected other people to it.]

  Hearing that, I only shake my head at the absurdity of this situation and as I tio fill the hole in the ground with the corpse of the walkers, I also take o quickly secure the song that 't be named under a secret password so that it won't ever be unleashed upon i civilization by mistake.

  Oook care of all the bodies and filled the hole with the earth that flew around when I puhe hole into the ground I looked up at the sky and noticed that it was about to turn dark.

  Seeing that, I don't hesitate and quickly run back toward Man's house, and on my way there I also seare empty houses for some useful things like ed food, soap, useful tools, towels, emergency items, and put them in a backpack I brought out from my Soulbouory.

  Back at Man's house, I agaihe father-son pair prepare dinner while asking Duane how his shooting practice went making the kid narrate the story of how he was able to hit the tin s on his first try before Man adds that he also missed the 5 shoot as he was too excited to keep his hands still.

  Then during dinner, Man asks, "By the way, Doc. What are your pns for tomorrow?" to which I reply, "Well, I pn to follow after Rid head to Atnta and see if the C.D.C. is still standing... only I'm not really sure how far away it is or how to reach it."

  Hearing that, Man quickly expins, "Well, Atnta isn't too far away from King ty. I think that it takes around 2 hours in a car to reach the city."

  I nod then look at Man and ask, "What about you guys? Have you guys decided what to do? Are you going to tio stay here or are you going e to Atnta with me?"

  In respoo my question, Duane and Man look at each other in silence for a few seds before Duane slightly nods making Man look at me and say, "There is nothing that holds us here anymore... and I think that it is time we move forward, so if for you is fine, we'd like to e to Atnta with you."

  Hearing that, I smile slightly and say, "This is great. After all, it is much better to travel in pany than being alone..." making Duane excim, "Yes! This way you teach me how to fight with that wooden staff the same way you do! It was so cool!" which makes Man shake his head while smiling wryly.

  After dinner, we up and I warn the pair that we are going to move early in the m so it is better to already prepare what they want t with them so that tomorrow the only thing we have to do is load the cargo trud be on our way.

  Man agreed with me and quickly he and Duaarted to prepare everything they needed for our journey.

  After they had dohat, they went to bed, sleeping peacefully for the first time in many days not only because I basically ed the town of almost all the walkers making the night much more peaceful, but also because they finally lifted that heavy shadow that was hunting them sihe death of Jenny Jones, and while they still aren't pletely fihey have finally taken a step forward in the right dire.

  After a peaceful night, we all wake up, wash, have breakfast, and theart to load the cargo truck with every supply we may need, but it is mostly some clothes, underwear, ed food, some tools, photo albums, bullets for both the guns and the rifle, and of course the urn with Jenny Jones' ashes.

  Once ready we don't waste any more time a on the cargo truck to start our jouroward the city of Atnta.

  Following Man's dires I take Highway 85 which is the same route used by Rick Grimes to reach the city of Atnta in Geia yesterday, and it is also the most direct highway that leads to the city.

  Luckily the highway is mostly empty with only a couple of broken and capsized vehicles every now and then which makes the journey quite easy as we don't have to worry about clearing the way.

  While driving along the highway, Duaells us that he has to go to the bathroom and Man informs me that there is a gas station nearby.

  Following Man's dires, I stopped the cargo truck at the Campbellton Fairburn Road (Highway 92) and Cascade Palmetto Highway traffiterse, where a couple of abandoned vehicles, some overturned and burned, y in ruins.

  We get out of the cargo trud warily desd down a hill without ons ready and reach a makeshift camp sisting of tents and dozens of cars built around the gas station.

  Children's toys, clothes, wn chairs, luggage, and other supplies litter the gas station grounds, along with a couple of deg motorists in their vehicles.

  Making our way through the maze of cars, we reach the gas station, and find a sign beled "NO GAS" but since we have the jerrys that I "borrowed" from the military camp he Harrison Memorial Hospital.

  Then, before Duane and Man rush into the bathroom, I stop them and calmly say, "Rule #3 to survive the walkers. Beware of Bathrooms. Walkers are known to hang around them as for some reason we humans think it is a safe pce, so a little caution help avoid an ambush."

  After saying that, I calmly open the door and using my Bo Staff I tap the floor to create some noise, and shortly after that, a male walker with a half-eatehat makes its head tilt toward the left side stumbles out of a er and starts to move toward me.

  Seeing that, I calmly walk toward it and take it out by smming the Bo Staff into its head pletely crushing the head before I spartan kick the body into the wall.

  After doing that, I take a quick look around using my senses and once I firm that it is safe, I look at Man and Duane and say, "It is safe now. There was only Nearly Headless Niside this bathroom."

  As Man and Duaer the bathroom, I start to explore the surroundings to make sure that there aren't any other walkers nearby, and soon, I hear a shuffling noise which makes me turn my head in the dire it is ing from.

  The moment, I see the figure of a child as it picks up a teddy bear from under a car.

  Seeing that, I let out a sigh already knowing what to expect as the only noise I hear is that of the child's footsteps and nothing else, her its breath nor its heartbeat, which means that the child is just another walker.

  The walker hears my sigh, stops walking, and turns around to reveal that the child iion is a young girl with short dirty blonde hair, a partially eaten face, and a bloodstained chest.

  Shortly after that, the child walker lu me, leaving me no choice but to retaliate, but sihe sight of such a young victim slightly upsets me, my trol slips up a little and I use a little more power than intended in my attack causing a soni.

  As a result, the young girl's body turns into an unreizable paste that gets blown away by the shockwave geed by my attack together with a couple of cars behind it that also get sent flying and broken into a messy wreckage.

  Another sequeny attack is of course the very loud caused that it was akin to a strong explosion which makes a worried Man and scared Duane rush out from the bathroom as they look around before Man asks, "What the hell was that!?"

  With nond a lot of thick skin, I calmly look up at the sky positioning one of my hands above my squinting eyes as if I'm trying to look at something in the distand reply, "A fighter jet just flew above us... This is quite strange... I hope that nothing crazy happens like some kind of tactical strike to eliminate aurned city..."

  Hearing that, Man calms down a little and moves beside as he also tries to catch sight of the fighter jet by looking in the same dire and ents, "Strange... I don't know what there is in that dire but at the very least it isn't heading to Atnta as the city is more or less in that other dire."

  After that, we return to the cargo trad resume our journey along the road but suddenly Man notices something and shouts, "Doc! Stop! Look over there! It's Rick's car!"

  I look at where Man is pointing and ihere is Rick's police car stopped in the middle of the road, and seeing that, I calmly park the cargo truck close to the car.

  As soon as I stop a worried Man jumps down from the cargo trud rushes over to check as I and Duane follow after him, the first thing that Man does is cheside before he lets out a sigh and shouts, "He isn't here!"

  I arrive and also look inside, more specifically at the fuel gauge, and already knowing what happened I say, "The car has no fuel... Rick is very likely fine as I see no dead walkers, bodies, or even blood in the surroundings. He likely was forced to leave his vehicle behind and search for another one."

  After a quick check, Man agrees and we all return back to the cargo trud tio travel toward the city of Atnta.

  While driving, I start to think about what to do once we arrive there as I'm still undecided between heading into the city aing with Rick who should be searg for Daryl's shitty brother, or searg for the quarry a with the group at the Altanta's survivor camp.
