Captain Wu – Zhang Jun Han
SUMMERY: The group attempts to find Shinji and Sung-Min, who have been taken.
EPISODE 415- Storm Clouds
2 HOURS EARLIER:
Sung-Min drove the truck up the hill, while Shinji nursed his still oozing shoulder. “That thing is gonna get infected if we don’t treat it soon” commented a worried Sung-Min, with Shinji grunting in response “If you find a doctor let me know then. I don’t have any clean cloth to make a bandage out of, and nothing to disinfect it” Sung-Min handed his friend a small bottle of imported Daniel Jackson rum which Shinji took and dabbed a bit of the alcohol on a cloth. He gritted his teeth and applied the cloth, the burn making him yell in pain. Sung-Min grinned as they turned a corner remarking cheekily “The burning is good you know. Means you’re not dead”
They then drove by a billboard painted with blood that read “Stop now or die” Shinji hissed “We should stop the car” They slowed the truck to a stop, noting several Chinese soldiers stepping out from the ruins of a long demolished building. A single man dressed with gold stars and a decorated hat held up a hand and shouted to them in Japanese “STOP!” Sung-Min held up his hands and shouted “We didn’t kill your men on purpose! We were under duress we swear!” The decorated man laughed “I am not stopping you for that. I would have shot you both already if that was the case…no you are capable of giving us more than we ever wanted: a home with plenty of food and amenities. Oh my how rude of me, my name is General Yixian Chang. Now, please, come forward”
Shinji and Sung-Min walked up to the General who pointed to the billboard, waving at his men. They then swung over a body that was still kicking, tying it to the metal post that supported the weight of the board. The body was strung up with the man screaming in Korean. “That is what happens to people who anger me. I make examples of them. A treat for the dead, if you will” Shinji scowled “Why are you showing us this?”
The General then, in an almost fatherly way replied “Because I want to be as clear as possible. Now, we are taking you on a little ride, so drop your weapons and come with us. NOW” Shinji and Sung-Min begrudgingly dropped their weapons, with Chang taking Kuroi for himself. “Nice blade. I might need this later on” They then were handcuffed and taken down the road, as the dead soon surrounded the strung up Korean, tearing him to pieces.
===================================================
They traveled for about a half mile, with Chang asking Sung-Min “So you are Korean, yet you ally yourself with a Japanese man. How entirely alien an idea” Shinji point blank asked “Why haven’t you begun to torture us? You want our home, so why not start the regular gig of beating us up?” Chang smiled and replied “I am not the type to indulge in that. At least not yet. I am very reasonable, and that will become very clear later on. Ah we are here!” They stopped at a small village that was burnt and destroyed, the cars now smoldering hunks of metal and the streets now black from fire.
“Captain Wu, gather the prisoners” Chang ordered as he pulled off the radio from Shinji’s belt. “Ohhhh I bet this how you communicate. I will wait for home to ring in first” Captain Wu brought forth several prisoners and forced them to their knees. Chang walked up and picked up a chainsaw, revving it up before asking “Which one do you want killed, my Japanese friend?” Shinji, completely appalled squeaked “What? What do you mean?” Chang gestured to the people tied up and remarked “You have to choose one, or…” he waved at Wun who pulled a pistol on Sung-Min “…we will shoot your friend. One of these, or your friend. Choose friend” Sung-Min shook his head, muttering “Don’t choose Shinji…please don’t. I am not worth it” Shinji finally broke and screamed “The one in the blue shirt!!”
Chang smiled warmly and revved the tool, bringing the chain close to the blue shirted man’s face. He then smirked and brought the tool down on one of the women’s head, sending bone and blood shooting towards Shinji that soaked him. The saw sank into the brain matter, as the sound of snapping bone and squished brain filled the air. Finally Change released the throttle, causing the chainsaw to die down. “Choose another” he ordered, pulling out his pistol and pointing at Shinji. “WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?” Sung-Min yelped, as Chang lowered the pistol and shot a teenager in the head, sending pieces of his face shooting across the road. “CHOOSE AND I WILL STOP. Don’t…AND I WILL KILL EVERYONE HERE AND THEN YOUR FRIEND!”
Shinji finally screamed, tears rolling down his cheek “THE MAN IN THE BLUE SHIRT!!” Chang nodded and shot another woman in the head, before waving to Wu to take the prisoners back to their cells. Chang leaned down and savored the moment, hissing “You are not in charge. That is what you need to learn…you handing over your home’s location is another thing not in your control. You WILL give it over in time. Because I am not ready to blow your friend’s head to pieces just yet…but trust me he will want it”
He then heard the radio crackle, smiling at the two and remarking cheerfully “I wonder if mom is worried about you two already? Let’s see…”
============================================
NOW:
“Shinji, Sung-Min, this is Jun do you read me? Come in, Shinji or Sung-Min, either one of you please respond right now!” Jun hailed in a panicked voice.
The radio on the other end remained silent, until a low voice answered in fluent Japanese “If you want them alive, you will tell us where you are, before we kill these two…for their sake, I hope you consider” Jun looked at a stunned Tomoko and Sensei Shoji, asking the voice “Who am I talking to? Are Shinji and Sung-Min alive?” There was another brief silence before the voice again answered “For now. If they don’t give us your location, or if you don’t instead, they will both die…but first, let’s have a chat, shall we?”
Jun looked at Kwan and Shoji, asking the voice “Who am I talking to now? You have a Chinese accent, so you are probably Chinese” The voice replied “I am General Chang, and I have your friends here, waiting for daddy to pick them up. I am not QUITE done with them just yet, but when I am, I will let you know. In the meantime, we can meet at the old fish packing plant near the harbor if you want. Have fun” The radio clicked off with Jun angrily shouting “That bastard has them both! He wants to come here, he will get a shock when we kill them all!” Shoji put a hand on Jun’s shoulder and warned him with “Don’t be rash and go off on a fool errand. They gave you that location to get you killed!” Kwan added “He’s right. Besides, I heard seagulls in the distance, so they are by the docks I would bet. Maybe we can draw them out somehow?”
Jun cricked his neck “How so?” “We draw a herd there. We make them think a walker army is going to destroy their base and then pick off the Chinese soldiers that retreat. We kill Chang, rescue Shinji and Sung-Min and go home, leaving the walkers to eat the corpses” Shoji frowned and advised the two “Look I understand your frustration with this revelation, but we can’t get more people killed like this under these circumstances. For now we will have to wait until the moment is right for us to act”
============================================
Shinji and Sung-Min were thrown into a small room with a large blanket, an overhead light and a small bowl. “Here is where you will be staying until you either tell us where you live, or we kill you. Try not to freeze to death” Shinji perked his head up and demanded “How do you know Japanese so well?” Chang sighed and propped himself against the door frame.
“My father wanted me to be educated, so he sent me to Japan when I was ten, where I learned your language, and your mannerisms. He said, ‘a worldly mind will serve you well in life’, and he was right. I am not going to lie to you both: I will not hesitate to kill you both, but all I need is ONE of you to talk. So…save yourself the trouble and tell us what we want”
Before he could continue a soldier shouted in Mandarin “*More dead are coming General!” He smiled and closed the door, barring it with a heavy wooden beam. He stepped outside the building his prisoners were held and saw a sizable group of walkers approaching them, while Chinese soldiers hacked and stabbed them in an attempt to conserve ammunition. Chang stabbed one with a long knife, while another tried to bit him on the shoulder, only to get shot by the youngest of the men.
Chang screamed “You gave away our position you fool! On your knees!” The soldier did as ordered, and Chang approached him, drawing his knife and slicing a deep cut on the other man’s cheek. As the soldier clutched at his bleeding wound, Chang bellowed “Next time I will be doing that to your throats! Now keep looking for supplies, we aren’t staying here for long”
He cracked his neck and walked back to the prisoners he had left, dragging out Sung-Min kicking and fighting back as he was taken to a small room inside a former car repair shop. He was secured to a chair and one soldier punched him in the stomach, making him reel forward in pain. Chang leaned down to look him in the eyes, and said calmly “I know you a tough guy here. But I am running out of time, you see, and I need to know where you live. I know it’s cozy and comfortable based on your hygiene and the condition of your clothing. Now, I am not a barbarian, but I am not shy to do whatever is needed to get what I need. And I do mean whatever”
He walked over and pulled a tarp off a car battery, touching one lead to the other and creating a sharp spark to crackle. “The amperage has been lowered so it won’t burst your heart, I assure you. But it will hurt like a bitch. Now, I am going to give you the three strikes you’re out rule: tell me what I want, and if you don’t after I ask three times, I will do far, far worse to you. Now, where is your base?”
Sung-Min shook his head, and Chang clamped the leads on his arms, causing Sung-Min to shudder and shake, screaming as the electricity flowed through his body, making every pain receptor fire at once. Chang unclamped the leads, and smiled, asking again “Now that that is over, WHERE. DO. YOU. LIVE?” Sung-Min grinned and spat at the General, who clamped the leads on his skin again, causing the Korean to scream in agony.
Chang removed the leads and grabbed Sung-Min by the face, demanding loudly “WHERE IS IT???!!!” Sung-Min whispered “It’s in a small forest, a tiny building where your mom makes me happy. I think you know how” Chang laughed and patted his victim on the cheek. “Now it gets worse, asshole” He then waved in a soldier who brought in a pot with boiling water.
“This is a more traditional method of torture, friend. It works 9/10 times, unless you are one of those fat sauna dwelling bastards who likes the heat. Tell me where your home is, or it gets worse. I know you are protecting your friends, but this is going to continue until you talk, or I decide your friend is a better person to cooperate with me. Now…tell me where your home is!!!” Sung-Min growled “It’s in your ass!” Chang’s smile faded and he grabbed Sung-Min’s hand, plunging it in the boiling water.
Sung-Min watched as the flesh on his hand turned beet red, then slowly began to turn white, as flecks of skin began to peel off. The pain was unlike anything he had ever felt, and much to his horror the pain faded with the hand becoming numb. He pulled the hand out, with bits of cooked flesh dripping off the hand. “Shall I do the same to your wang, or will you talk?” Sung-Min watched as he tried to move his hand, barely able to do so due to the nerve damage. “No…I won’t”
The soldier slapped his hand, causing a large chunk of flesh to rip off. Chang pushed the soldier back, and ordered bring a woman from the remaining survivors here. I think maybe when he realizes his life is not the one in peril, he will change his mind” Sung-Min moaned as he felt the pain from his hand seeping throughout his body, while Chang commented “You can have the power here to stop us from harming this woman. Tell me where you live and you won’t have to watch as we ravage her again, and again, and again. It’s up to you” The woman looked at Sung-Min with tears in her eyes, the latter responding “I can’t….I am so sorry but I can’t” Chang pointed to the woman and shouted to his men “Have fun”
Sung-Min watched with horror and disgust as the woman was defiled in front of him, her screams echoing in his mind with Chang watching also, victory and confidence instead written across his bearded face. Meanwhile, Shinji sat huddled in a corner, freezing as he heard every noise coming from the horrific ordeal a few feet from him with shame and disgust.
===============================================
Ronin checked the magazine in his rifle with Jun grabbing another rifle from the wall, an angry look across his face. “Shoji give you the okay?” he asked, with Jun shaking his head. “NO he didn’t. And I don’t care if he does, because Shinji and Sung-Min are still in that Chang fellows grasp. Go in there and kill them all, plain and simple” Ronin grabbed Jun by the arm and said calmly “Look, I know you want them to be safe. I do too, but this is rash even by your standards. I have known you since you were that kid who watched as his world crumbled, and I know you could do this op, but I am telling you as my best friend and as the man your father told me to protect, DON’T DO THIS JUN. Please” Jun angrily pulled away from Ronin and slung the rifle over his shoulder, rudely retorting “I don’t need you lecturing me!”
“Well how about me?” Jun looked to see Takeshi standing in the doorway or the armory, with Daichi desperately trying to keep out of his way. “Takeshi, please I don’t-” “Shut the hell up and listen to me, Jun. I died as soon as my dear wife passed. I lost everything, but I am still here, emotionally dead, and filled with hate and bitterness. You will go down the same road soon if you don’t watch yourself. I care about Sung-Min and Shinji too, but this would be suicide for you. Going out irrationally and leaving your girlfriend, your daughter, and your mother alone is being irresponsible. Don’t be so goddamn stupid. As soon as we have a shred of evidence to go out there on, we will do so. Please listen to me, Jun”
Jun hung his head and sighed, taking the rifle off his shoulder and placing on the rack again, a sad look on his face. “I lost Dad, Yui, Hideki, Akiko, and others who I cared about to this world. I don’t want to lose more…but I will wait until we have a solid lead” Suddenly Kwan ran in, panting as he wheezed and attempted to catch his breath “Tomoko and Emiko ran off to rescue them! We tried to stop them, but they ran before we could catch them!” Jun rolled his eyes, groaning angrily “God NO! Ronin, come on we have to go after them!” Ronin looked at Takeshi who nodded agreeingly as the two of them stormed out of the Armory, a flustered Daichi complaining “God, now I have to organize everything”
Jun gathered Kwan, Shinsuke, and Kuma, with Ando running up to him, exclaiming “I am here to help. Let me come with” Jun shook his head. “I appreciate it, but I need able bodied people here. Which is why you and Kwan are staying here. We need to be sure those Chinese bastards don’t find this place, and if they do come while we are here…well give them a warm welcome” Kwan nodded, watching with Ando as the four of them climbed into a pickup truck and drove out of the Garden, kicking up leaves and twigs as it tore down the road.
====================================
Shinji was dragged the next morning out to the shed where Sung-Min was being held, the latter sitting in his chair with a dazed look on his face, a mix of blood, tears and vomit on his shirt. Shinji noticed the blistered, now pinkish white skin sloughing off Sung-Min’s right hand, and hissed “God they will pay for what they have done” The woman that had been brought in earlier was curled up in a corner, sobbing as her clothes lay in a dirty heap on the floor. General Chang stormed in, a pistol drawn as he grabbed Sung-Min by his hair and clamped the barrel against his head. “I cannot get a word out of this poor boy. Maybe you will be better to work with…I will warn you only once: if you don’t tell me where your home is after I count to three, your friend dies. No fuss, no politics. Now, let’s start counting! One!”
Shinji instantly teared up “ PLEASE! Don’t do this! PLEASE!!” Chang grinned wickedly “TWO!!!” Sung-Min whispered hoarsely “Don’t do it man…please” Shinji shook his head, tears now dripping from his red face “I can’t let them…I can’t…” Chang leaned in close and murmured “Last number coming up boy…THR-” “I’LL TELL YOU!!” Screeched Shinji, now fully breaking down and burying his face in his hands. “Just let him go please! I’ll tell you everything!!” Chang patted Shinji on the shoulder in an almost loving manner and remarked “Thank you kid…thank you…Well…shall we go?” He turned to Captain Wu and ordered “Kill the others and pack up: we are going to visit our new home”

EPISODE 415- Storm Clouds
2 HOURS EARLIER:
Sung-Min drove the truck up the hill, while Shinji nursed his still oozing shoulder. “That thing is gonna get infected if we don’t treat it soon” commented a worried Sung-Min, with Shinji grunting in response “If you find a doctor let me know then. I don’t have any clean cloth to make a bandage out of, and nothing to disinfect it” Sung-Min handed his friend a small bottle of imported Daniel Jackson rum which Shinji took and dabbed a bit of the alcohol on a cloth. He gritted his teeth and applied the cloth, the burn making him yell in pain. Sung-Min grinned as they turned a corner remarking cheekily “The burning is good you know. Means you’re not dead”
They then drove by a billboard painted with blood that read “Stop now or die” Shinji hissed “We should stop the car” They slowed the truck to a stop, noting several Chinese soldiers stepping out from the ruins of a long demolished building.

Shinji and Sung-Min walked up to the General who pointed to the billboard, waving at his men. They then swung over a body that was still kicking, tying it to the metal post that supported the weight of the board. The body was strung up with the man screaming in Korean. “That is what happens to people who anger me. I make examples of them. A treat for the dead, if you will” Shinji scowled “Why are you showing us this?”

We need to be sure those Chinese bastards don’t find this place, and if they do come while we are here…well give them a warm welcome” Kwan nodded, watching with Ando as the four of them climbed into a pickup truck and drove out of the Garden, kicking up leaves and twigs as it tore down the road.
====================================
Shinji was dragged the next morning out to the shed where Sung-Min was being held, the latter sitting in his chair with a dazed look on his face, a mix of blood, tears and vomit on his shirt. Shinji noticed the blistered, now pinkish white skin sloughing off Sung-Min’s right hand, and hissed “God they will pay for what they have done” The woman that had been brought in earlier was curled up in a corner, sobbing as her clothes lay in a dirty heap on the floor. General Chang stormed in, a pistol drawn as he grabbed Sung-Min by his hair and clamped the barrel against his head. “I cannot get a word out of this poor boy. Maybe you will be better to work with…I will warn you only once: if you don’t tell me where your home is after I count to three, your friend dies. No fuss, no politics. Now, let’s start counting! One!”
Shinji instantly teared up “ PLEASE! Don’t do this! PLEASE!!” Chang grinned wickedly “TWO!!!” Sung-Min whispered hoarsely “Don’t do it man…please” Shinji shook his head, tears now dripping from his red face “I can’t let them…I can’t…” Chang leaned in close and murmured “Last number coming up boy…THR-” “I’LL TELL YOU!!” Screeched Shinji, now fully breaking down and burying his face in his hands. “Just let him go please! I’ll tell you everything!!” Chang patted Shinji on the shoulder in an almost loving manner and remarked “Thank you kid…thank you…Well…shall we go?” He turned to Captain Wu and ordered “Kill the others and pack up: we are going to visit our new home”
