Weapon System in Zombie Apocalypse-Chapter 63: Getting Sus

Thomas was taken aback from the sudden question.

"What kind of question is that?" he said incredulously.

"Because—you were a senior high school student and you dying in the apocalyptic world without experiencing such things would be definitely a waste in your life. You know, in the movies or series—hehehe…"

Thomas cringed at the laugh that followed. Erica was clearly enjoying making him uncomfortable.

He exhaled, rubbing the back of his neck. "Well… yeah, I'm a virgin."

Erica's smirk widened. "No way."

He shot her a dry look. "Why is that so hard to believe?"

She shrugged, still grinning. "I don't know. You just don't seem like the type. You fight like a seasoned soldier, act like you've been in command for years. But a virgin? It's kinda funny."

Thomas rolled his eyes. "Well, I never had a girlfriend, so it's not like I had the chance."

Erica hummed thoughtfully before leaning forward slightly, resting her chin on her knee. "Alright, fair enough. But now I gotta ask—if you could've, would you have wanted to?"

Thomas gave her a deadpan look. "What kind of question is that?"

She laughed. "Just curious. You know, we're in the middle of an apocalypse. You could die at any moment. If you had the chance, would you have wanted to experience it?"

Thomas hesitated for a second before sighing. "I mean… sure? I guess?"

Erica snickered. "That's a pretty weak answer."

Thomas leaned back, shaking his head. "You're really enjoying this, aren't you?"

She grinned. "A little bit."

He exhaled, crossing his arms. "Alright then, what about you?"

Erica's playful expression faltered for a second before she smirked again. "Me? Oh, I'm still a virgin too."

That actually caught Thomas off guard. "Wait, seriously?"

She scoffed. "What? You think every woman over twenty has to have done it already?"

"No, that's not what I meant," Thomas said quickly. "I just… figured you would've had the chance."

Erica rolled her eyes. "Well, I didn't. I told you, I was too busy. Work, life, stress—it never really crossed my mind until, well…" She gestured vaguely to the ruined city outside. "You know, end of the world and all."

Thomas frowned. "So is that why you asked? Just wondering what people regret before dying?"

Erica shrugged. "Something like that. I mean, think about it. If you were to die tomorrow, what's the one thing you'd want to experience before you go?"

Thomas stared at her for a moment, then looked away, deep in thought.

"I don't know," he admitted. "I've never thought about it like that."

Erica smiled slightly. "Well, maybe you should."

Silence settled between them for a moment before she chuckled to herself.

Thomas raised an eyebrow. "What?"

She smirked. "Nothing. Just funny to think about. You, me, two virgins stuck on a rooftop in the middle of a zombie apocalypse, talking about life regrets. And the way you looked at me earlier, it's quite obvious that you were a bit distracted."

Thomas blinked, his face tensing slightly. "What do you mean?"

Erica's smirk deepened. "Oh, come on. You were totally staring when I unbuttoned my shirt earlier."

He coughed, shifting uncomfortably. "I was checking your arm."

"Uh-huh," she said, drawing out the words in a teasing tone. "Sure you were."

Thomas let out a slow breath, shaking his head. "Do you want us to do it?"

"Ehh?"

Erica's teasing smirk froze, her expression faltering for the first time since their conversation began. Her lips parted slightly, but no words came out.

Thomas watched her, waiting for some kind of response. When none came, he raised an eyebrow. "You were the one who brought it up," he said, crossing his arms.

Erica blinked a few times before laughing nervously. "I mean—I was just messing with you." She scratched the back of her head, suddenly looking unsure. "I didn't think you'd actually ask that…"

Thomas shrugged. "Well, we're talking about regrets before dying, right? I figured I'd just put it out there."

Erica hesitated, biting her lip. She looked away, as if processing the idea. "I—uh…" She cleared her throat. "It's not like I haven't thought about it before… but, you know…"

Thomas tilted his head. "But what?"

She huffed, rubbing her arm awkwardly. "I don't know! I wasn't expecting to actually consider it."

For the first time since they met, Erica seemed genuinely flustered.

Thomas smirked. "So, what? Do you want to?"

Erica shot him a glare. "Don't say it like that, dumbass."

He chuckled. "I'm just asking a question."

Erica let out a slow breath, staring at the ceiling. "Look… it's not like it's a bad idea. It's just…" She glanced at him, then quickly looked away again. "It's weird, right?"

Thomas leaned back, thinking for a moment. "I mean, yeah, kinda. We just met, woman."

She exhaled sharply. "Exactly!" She buried her face in her hands, groaning. "Why did I even bring this up? I was just teasing you, and now I'm actually thinking about it."

Thomas smirked. "So, you are considering it."

She peeked through her fingers before grumbling, "Shut up."

Thomas couldn't help but laugh at how flustered she had become. It was a rare sight.

Erica let out another sigh, shaking her head. "I can't believe this is what we're talking about while the world is ending."

Thomas smirked. "Hey, you said it yourself. If we're gonna die, we might as well think about what we're missing out on."

She groaned again, before suddenly standing up. "I need to walk this off."

Thomas chuckled as he watched her pace around the small storage room, muttering to herself.

Her question made him ponder if he was experiencing sex before he died and he was certain that he was going to be able to experience that in the near future as he was still young, and he has a fairly handsome face so there is that. But this is not just the time to be fooling around. He doesn't know why she would bring that up, is she that thirsty? Not to mention, they are still not safe.

He checked his kill count and it's 635,312…and it's steadily increasing. It's going to take a few days before the wave is complete and he is able to access the system again.

Meanwhile, on the air, a Northrop Grumman MQ-8 Fire Scout was flying overhead.

"We have eyes on the sky, let's find our commander shall we?" Marcus said.
