Chapter 407: Horseshit
The guard narrowed his eyes at the observer before turning to look at the bleeding man again. "You’re just like them, aren’t you?" hissed the man, his eyes going wide as he growled at the guard. "You are making fun of me. Do you know who I am?!"
The man’s eyes were practically white, and his pupils were so small that they looked like pinpricks. If I looked at him closer, I could see an envy seed burrowing deep into his beating heart before spreading out into every limb like an infection.
Wrinkling my nose, I slowly blinked before turning my attention back to the guard. "I think he has amnesia," I whispered loudly, even as the man continued to scream. "Otherwise, how would he not know who he was?"
The guard absently nodded his head at my words, his eyes never leaving the unstable man in front of him.
"I am Alicia’s father! You dare treat me like this when it’s my daughter who rules the base?" spat the upset man. It was so amusing to watch him dig his own grave, but knowing that he was Alicia’s father... well, who was I to look a gift horse in the mouth?
"Oh," I mumbled, looking down at the ground. "Maybe you should let him into the base? Just until Alicia can confirm that this is her father. I wouldn’t want you in trouble or anything."
The guard let out a long sigh but signaled for two of his men to escort Buddy into the base. "In the very least, we’ll be able to test to see if it is a mutation of the zombie virus. I almost wish it were. I actually had fun fighting the zombies. But now that they have been almost eliminated... I shouldn’t complain."
I smile up at the guard, a look of perfect innocence that only a small child or a psychopath could display. "It’s okay," I assured him. "It can be our secret."
The man looked down at me indulgently before turning to Tank. Narrowing his eyes, he focused on where Tank was bleeding. "We’d better take you in, too. Just in case the disease could be spread by blood."
