Vampire God in the Apocalypse

Chapter 19: 19. The supermarket (1): Evolved bees

[A/N - Parapet: A short wall, normally reaching above an adult's waist which prevents people from falling off a building with a rooftop terrace.

I just thought to put it here instead of at the end so that you guys would understand while reading.

PS - I had to do research on buildings so give me your stones...]

Freedom is a privilege granted to those who work for it. But now, in the apocalypse... freedom is power.

The rest of the exploration crew were amazed as Dexter ran up the building. The flashes of lightning made him seem mystical and powerful but only Dexter knew what was happening.

'Damn. It's like I'm running on a horizontal surface. This is amazing.' He thought as he bent down and grabbed the crevice at the top edge of the building to hold himself and pull up.

The top of the building was a rooftop terrace and Dexter pulled himself up and jumped over the parapet.

The top of the building was surprisingly intact. No cracks to the ground, and a clear view of the ruined city below.

'I'll attach these first.' Dexter began to put the hooks to hold onto the parapet and then he flashed a thumbs up for the group below.

"That's a GO sign. Strap up and begin climbing." Laurence ordered from below.

Dexter walked to the other end of the rooftop terrace (an open space on top of a building instead of a roof).

He rested on the parapet and looked at the view.

'Hehe. The bitch has no effect on me anymore.' He smiled as he stared at the sun, as if declaring 'You can't do anything to me bitch!'

He then looked at the once city he knew and grew up in. A now ruined land.

Memories began to flash in his eyes as he remembered being on top of a roof like this with his girlfriend.

'Me and Hannah had our first date on a roof like this. I hope she's doing okay right now.' His expression turned serious as he balled his fist. 'Just wait for me. I'm coming for you...'

Dexter sighed as he mumbled, "I can't still say it. After all this time." He shook his head.

"Let's try it." He cleared his throat. "My l... uck."

He facepalmed.

'You love her so why not just say it to her. You'll shock her since she knows you can't.' He encouraged himself.

After a few more minutes of trying to say a romantic nickname and pondering on how he could get rid of insecurities, the crew already started reaching the rooftop.

"You've seen it already?" Laurence asked as he unstrapped himself from the rope.

Dexter then looked forward and below and saw the large supermarket with a big logo on a billboard that was hard to miss.

[Martin's supermarket]

"Good. You've seen it." Laurence then turned around. "Set up the snipers!"

Cole, Chapman, and the black dude then set up snipers on the parapet, facing the supermarket.

"What are we shooting?" Leo said as there were no zombies near the supermarket.

"Look around the supermarket and the surrounding area. What's missing?" Laurence asked and Leo didn't know what to say and looked around the surroundings with furrowed brows.

"Zombies." A calm, thick, manly voice sounded from behind Leo and they turned to see the black, muscular military guy facing the supermarket.

"Thank you, Johnny." Laurence then turned back to Leo. "Isn't it weird that there are no zombies in the area. The entire city was filled with people, yet there isn't a single zombie in this particular area."

Dexter put a hand on his jaw as he looked down from the building.

'Indeed. That's strange.' He nodded.

"Well. Show them boys." Laurence ordered.

"Sure thing captain." Chapman said as he racked up his sniper, ready to go.

Dexter looked back and Saw Beatrice putting a leg on the parapet while doing forward stretches.

He swallowed as the curve of her ass in the tight, leather trousers were... astonishing, mesmerizing and totally appetizing.

Dexter then looked forward and sighed as he shook his head.

'That image is stuck in my head.' He smiled bitterly.

*Bang!*

Chapman fired a single shot which hit the metal door of the supermarket, making it cave in a little and also making a clanking sound.

"It won't be long now. Ready your weapons." Laurence ordered as he brought out a desert eagle pistol from his pocket.

All of a sudden, from behind the supermarket, small black dots started flying over it, heading towards the front door which was shot.

"There they are. Engage!"

On Laurence's command, the rest of the crew began firing, making loud shots echo and reach their ears.

Zain then spotted a telescope in one of the bags they carried up to the roof and took it out. He then looked into it and saw what exactly was those little dots that they were shooting at.

"You guys need to see this." He said in a shocked tone as he brought down the telescope to reveal his eyes open wide in shock.

Dexter was quick to take the telescope and then when he looked through it, he saw large, blue bees... not normal ones. They were the size of beach balls and they were in large quantity.

The supermarket was a little over 150 metres away from the building where they were.

Dexter's vision was sharper so he could see the hard shell of the bees with their long spikes at the bottom of their tail.

"I wanna see too." Rina took the telescope from Dexter but he was still in shock.

He wiped his eyes as he looked again. They were flying in circles above the supermarket and they were getting shot one by one.

Dexter turned to his side to see Laurence shooting one by one with his shiny, silver desert eagle.

"Are you sure you're hitting them?" Dexter asked as he thought, 'He's just wasting bullets.'

"Oh, I'm hitting them. I have a skill called eagle eyes so I can like... zoom in and out of a target. I can't miss." Laurence explained as he shot four times in a row at once.

"Oh no! They spotted us!" Cole shouted as he reloaded his gun and Dexter looked to the sea of bees to see them flying towards the building they were on at a great speed.
