You, the apocalypse and me! [YiZhan FF] Fantasy

Chapter 9 - Everything sucks

Who knows, maybe I'll just take the machine gun, shoot the thing to pieces and then drag it into my boss's office! But probably he would then still claim it was only a human being with a few deformities! Oh yes, in addition then also Dumb and Dumber are my witnesses! What would the general say then if his men confirm this sighting and give him the videos as proof?

Why I call the two of them Dumb and Dumber? Quite simply, because I explained to the two that I was also in the course of my training as a special agent in the military and last had a higher rank than the two and they ask me nevertheless really, only 5 minutes later, whether I know how the machine gun functions or whether they should give me a briefing!

And then they explain to me the rules of the military and enumerate their codex. Really? Did they even listen to me when I explained long and wide that I was in the military myself?

Before we left for our tour in the evening, we ate together in the canteen and watched the latest news. There it was actually said that even more creatures had appeared in Poland. And that they were different creatures. Everyone believed that immediately, although there were no pictures or videos, but when Yibo and I told about the one creature we saw, no one believed us!

Honestly? I really hate my job for the first time ever! As a special agent working for the government, I have to follow their rules, laws and regulations. I have to obey what they say and order. And I am not allowed to speak my own mind! And woe I do not obey the orders, then I must reckon with hard consequences! Anyway, there are more important things at the moment!

Before we went on the way, I looked over my phone again in my social networks for news of friends and was quite shocked when I found a post of my ex-wife there. She wrote: "Want to know why my husband really divorced me? I'll tell you. He is gay and has a boyfriend now! He wanted to get rid of me to be free for this guy!"

I stared at this public post for quite a while and just thought like, shit now this dumb bitch is totally losing it! I immediately called this bitch and told her to delete this post again before I get uncomfortable. She laughed and said there was nothing untrue about it since I'm with Yibo.

So I said, "Listen to me carefully. You lied to me and cheated on me and not just once. You even lied and cheated on the guy you cheated on me with. I, on the other hand, never did that! I was the faithful one and only started a new relationship after I kicked you out of my apartment!"

She laughed idiotically and replied, "But that doesn't change the fact that you're gay!"

"Sure it doesn't change that. Likewise, it doesn't change the fact that you're a lying bitch who cheated on me."

"Zhan, I want you back."

"Are you crazy? You just said yourself that I'm gay. And even if I wasn't, do you think I would take you back after you cheated on me?"

"If you don't take me back, I'll leave the post online."

"Well, then do that. Then I'll report your post and we'll see how long it stays online."

"Then I'll write a new one."

"Do that. I don't have a problem with it. And just so you know, everyone already knows I'm in a relationship with a man."

"I'm sure your parents don't."

"Oh yes they do. They were the first to know. And besides, they were going to set me up with Yibo anyway."

"I don't believe you."

"Then call them and ask them. My mom was so happy that I broke up with you and then immediately wanted to set me up with Yibo. My dad is also absolutely thrilled with Yibo. And guess what, Yibo's parents like me too and were already going to start planning his and my future."

"So you're serious about him?"

"Of course. And you should finally stop pretending that you still love me, if you ever did. Finally realize that it doesn't matter what you do or say, you and I are over and will never be again. Find another man, one you really love and just try to enjoy your happiness. Money isn't everything."

"But..."

"No, no buts. Now take care, I'm busy." I said and hung up. I had to change for work. And on the other hand, I really missed Yibo terribly at that moment. After the almost 4 months he and I spent together 24/7, it's also no wonder I felt that way. Because I realized at that moment that I am all alone at home again and I don't know when Yibo will be with me again.

But I also have to say that I noticed during the phone call with my ex that I don't hate her or am still mad at her. I don't care about her at all by now. I hope for her sake that she gets her life together and leaves me alone. And I'm glad that she and I never had children. Because that had been an issue with her several times.

Dumb and Dumber were already waiting for me when I went to see them. They looked highly motivated. They must be enjoying their rounds through the streets. Who knows, maybe they are just glad to be far, far away from the general. I've overheard a few soldiers saying that they were happy not to have the general breathing down their necks.

We were dropped off at our starting point by a military Humvee and had to start our patrol together with a German shepherd. We had not gone 500 meters when we encountered a young couple who were outside during curfew.

Dumb and Dumber held their guns in their faces and wanted to know why they were outside. In response, the 18-year-old boy in love explained that he missed his girlfriend so much that he just wanted to see her for a minute. Dumb and Dumber sent his girlfriend back inside, since she lived there, and took the boy home with guns pointed at him. Which was about 200 meters away. This action proved to me that these two really are Dumb and Dumber!

Our patrol of the streets then continued. While I led the way with the German Shepherd, Dumb and Dumber talked about the previous weekend. I was amazed to hear them talk about what had happened in Poland, about how worried they are about these creatures and that they think we are far from being told everything.

However, I did not say anything. And it was very difficult for me not to say anything. But I don't want anyone to look at the video recordings, hear me talk about it and then get in trouble for it. I'd rather wait for the moment when I can tell my boss and the general: "I told you so!".

We have a long night ahead of us and I am already tired. My feet hurt from these damn shoes and everything is just annoying at the moment! And I miss Yibo very badly. Hopefully I can see him again soon.
