" There's a supermarket around that corner to the left; hopefully, we'll stop there to get some resources; it hasn't been looted completely. We'll be divided into five groups, and each group will be led by one of your trainers; one group will be on the lookout for intruders and zombies while two groups will go into the supermarket to gather resources, and the other two will go into the surrounding houses to check for survivors " Adam instructed.
Everyone got assigned to their groups of four persons per group and stepped out of the bust to carry out the mission given to them.Matt, a Trainer, leads Eagan's group, and the members are Eagan, Shannon, a lady who worked on the farm on the base, and Nick, Eagan's co-worker. Their team was assigned to check the building opposite the supermarket for survivors, and as they got close to the building, someone shouted from the upper level."Hey! Please help! Please help us!" It was a blue-haired boy waving his hands frantically through the window on the fifth floor of the apartment building. Eagan signaled for him to keep quiet as his noise was attracting the nearby Zombies.They checked around them as they entered the building guarding against any sudden attack from zombies.COMBAT MODE ACTIVATEDTHE COMBAT MODE ALLOWS THE HOST TO HAVE HEIGHTENED SENSES AND ALSO ALLOWS THE HOST TO USE THE X-RAY VISION. THE HOSTS CAN SEE THROUGH WALLS AND CAN SENSE DANGER CLOSE BY.Eagan felt the effect of the combat mode as all his senses increased. He could hear the heartbeats of everyone present and could also sense all the zombies on the lower floor in amazement; he breathed a low soft" and thanked the system for subconsciously choosing him.system feeling proud, answeredOF COURSE, MY MAKER IS A ONE-IN-A-CENTURY GENIUS!With the help of the x-ray vision he got, he saw the zombies hiding in a corner, waiting to ambush them as they walked toward them. Eagan immediately gave his leader a warning."Matt! There are two zombies on your Left!"The unsuspecting Matt was about to argue."How did you .... fuck (bang) " he shot the first one in the head, and Eagan Shot the second one without missing.Feeling grateful, Matt said," Thanks, I didn't see them ... but you were at the back. How come you noticed before I could?"" I don't know; I just felt it, I guess? " There's no way he's about to explain the x-ray vision thingy.Matt gave him a weird look but didn't say anything as they continued onOn the ground floor, they killed ten zombies, Matt and Eagan shuffling the kills while others looked out for survivors in the apartment."There are survivors in rooms five and eight," Eagan told his captain as he had seen people huddled together in a corner in both rooms through the wall. Without question, Matt went to the door and knocked three times without any response.Eagan noticed the people move, but no one was brave enough to open the door."Hello? Is anybody there? We are a rescue team. If you're in there, please come out," Matt roared to the closed door, and shortly, a middle-aged man with black hair, holding a knife, opened the door."Who are you? What do you want? " The man asked coldly. Matt calmly replied to the man without agitating him."Hello, sir, we are not here to harm you; we came to rescue survivors around here; if you wish, you can come with us, there is enough food and a place to sleep for you in our shelter, or you can stay here and wait for the military rescue team ... it's your choice."The middle-aged man looked at every one of them and asked"Are you sure we can come with you? You won't harm us?""We promise to do no such things," Eagan replied"We'll go with you then."" How many of you are in there?" Eagan asked"We are seven in here. There are others in the room numbered eight also.""Thank you for the information; we'll make sure not to leave anyone behind as long as they want to go with us... get some of your things and wait for us here. We need to check the upper floors also, "Eagan instructed, and by the time he and Matt were done talking to the middle age man, Nick and Shannon were also done with Room eight.In Room eight, there were three young men and two ladies; two of the men volunteered to go with them to look for other survivors while the others joined the people in room five.Now their team had two more members wielding knives.They climbed to the next floor and killed seventeen zombies with no survivors on the floor. On the second floor, there were two survivors and twenty-three Zombies between the ground floor and the second floor. Eagan killed over ten zombies, completing his mission.MISSION COMPLETEDQUEST: KILL 10 ZOMBIES- 10/10REWARD: 100 POINTS AND ONE PRICE WHEEL TICKETYOU LEVELED UPYOU LEVELED UPThe more he leveled, the sharper his senses became.On the third floor, there were no zombies and no survivors; the fourth floor had five zombies; and on the fifth floor, there were over twenty zombies." Damn, I think all the zombies on the lower floor came here," one of the men that joined them from the lower floor said" It's probably because there are more survivors on this floor," Shannon responds." Everyone is careful; remember, don't get bitten or scratched, Eagan; you have an accurate shot. Lead the front; I'll guard the back, and the rest of you give support, " Matt instructed, and everyone fell into formation.Eagan brought out his second pistol, and a system notification came upYOU CAN UPGRADE YOUR WEAPONS WITH POINTS. WOULD YOU LIKE AN UPGRADE?"Yes"CONSUMING 100 POINTS TO UPGRADE TWO PISTOLSUPGRADE COMPLETE"I'm ready when you all are," Eagan said while pointing his newly upgraded guns at the incoming zombies."We are ready!"They climbed the final step and silently walked to the middle of the hallway.Eagan thought in his head while talking to the system" Do I ask how the guns got upgraded on the spot, or should I pretend I'm not curious?"YOU'LL KNOW SOON. FOR NOW, FOCUS ON NOT TURNING INTO A ZOMBIEOn the outside, the gun didn't change form or shape, but the weight became lighter, and shooting became more flexible."Damn ... I didn't know you were this good at shooting Eagan," Matt said from behind as he shot at the zombies near him.Eagan replied without missing a beat," I didn't know I was this good either... I guess being in a life-and-death situation brought out my hidden talents for guns?"The two men with the knives slash and stab—the zombie's head, with Nick and Shannon assisting from the back. "I love this; let's do this often!" Nick said excitedly amidst all the shooting "I honestly thought I'd die or something while leaving the base this morning; I didn't think it'd be this enjoyable to shoot at zombies." The survivors heard their voices, and the commotion from outside began packing their things so as not to time the rescue team after killing the zombies. They packed all the necessary items, such as food, clothes, toiletries, and photo albums. Eagan knocked on the door after killing off all the zombies "Hey, anybody in there? He asked, and the door opened immediately, revealing the blue-haired boy from earlier. "Hello," he greeted firmly "You were the one who called us the other time?" "Yes, that was me; I'm sorry for attracting the zombie to you," the boy, who looked frail and young, bowed his head. "It's okay." " Can you please take my sisters to your ba
" I never knew Festus taught you how to shoot," Adam comments as they shoot at the zombie covering the survivors to safety. "Huh? you know Uncle Festus?" Eagan asked, surprised that Adam knew his uncle, but 'it shouldn't have been too surprising as uncle Festus was also involved in the building of the base,' he thought " Of course, I'm very familiar with him. After all, he was our trainer alongside Marcus .... You might not know this, but everyone you met on the base had nothing when we met your grandmother; she gave us a place to stay and a purpose to live for ... and in return, we promised to serve you till our last breath." Eagan felt touched by the confession made by Adam and was stunned for a few seconds. " I'm sorry ... I didn't know anything ... I was just informed about all this on her dying bed, and everything seems new to me, and I'm just barely holding on." " It's a promise she had to keep; your parents made everyone promise that you'd have a normal childhood and you wo
Eagan aimed for its head with his guns while others continued the assault on his stomach; even though the weakness was in the stomach, it kept moving around. He shot at it twice, and from each gun and with the four bullets to the head and belly, they became weak. It growled out in pain, and the surrounding zombies began to gather " Fuck! We are surrounded! " " I'm out of ammo, and so are most people." " We can't relax yet if we don't want to be food for the zombies." With one last shot, Eagan finished the level two zombie, and they fought the horde surrounding them. They sat down in exhaustion when the zombies were cleared " I take it back. I don't want to do this every day ... I'm so tired," Nick said with a groan " Although it's tiring, it's fun." " Fun, my ass, it's so disgusting." " I'm aware we are all tired from just now, but we'll need to clear out the road and the zombies. We need to burn them," Adam instructed, resulting in a series of unpleasant complaints and groan
"The building at the front is for the male survivors, the one at the back is for the females, opposite genders are not allowed into each other's living quarters, if you are found, you'll be punished accordingly," Eagan explained further. " But what about married couples?" someone asked. "The third building is for couples; you can stay with your family in one apartment; I hope you understand it's for security reasons. The doctor's quarters are right behind the infirmary; you won't have to travel daily between the living quarters and the infirmary. You can stay in the living quarters since we have fewer people around. Also, note that privileges will be given based on your contribution to the development of the base; at a later time, we'll discuss the rest of the rules with you all once I welcome you." The people separated into different groups to get registered for the professions they were interested in. At the end of their registration, there were two doctors, four student doctors,
He locked the door after Silver and pressed the button that unlocked the stairway that leads to the control room; he's never been here, he saw the plan for his room last night, and that's how he knew it was there. He climbed up the stairway, placed his hands on the doorknob, and got pricked; the feeling was similar to when he opened the box his parents left him. SCANNING DNA SCAN COMPLETE DNA MATCH... "For fuck's sake!" Eagan chuckled as the door opened, he walked into the room, and the first thing he noticed in the dim light was a figure sitting in front of the many computers in the room. The room's set-up was what he saw next, and he could think nothing but 'this is something out of a sci-fi movie.' He tried reaching for his gun, but it was left on his bedside table, ' Why was I aiming for my gun?' "Hello, young master, I'm Naina, and I've been waiting for you." " Uh mm, hi? " Eagan greeted, unsure how to react to a lady living above his room. " (chuckles) I'm the AI in char
Nina worked through the night writing the guide and rules for the base to discuss with Eagan tomorrow before he left scavenging. # There should be no fighting amongst survivors in the base; in case of any conflict, report to your team leader or Nina. # You are allowed out of the base for whatever reasons; only scavenging teams are permitted out of the ground during this time. #Crimes such as stealing, rape, and murder are punishable by eviction from the base or death. # Everyone is mandated to report to their chosen place of work immediately after brunch. # Toiletries will be distributed to every occupied room once every two weeks. # Everyone is entitled to two meals a day; your contribution to the growth and development of the base will give you an opportunity for a snack. Which means Snacks are earned. # The infirmary is available at all times; visit there whenever you are sick. # Report any damage to any gadget in your rooms immediately. # Everyone must join the morning tra
"..." They chuckled at the doctor's loss of words. Eagan walked up to him and gently said " Relaxed aren't bad guys, and we won't hurt you; all the zombies on this floor have been cleared, so it's safe to come out." The doctor peeked his head out and checked left and right as if to see if the guys standing there weren't enough proof that the place was safe. "Are you from the military?" The doctor asked now with a more stable voice than before when his voice felt like he was about to die. " No, we aren't," Silver answered. "If you aren't from the Military, how come you all carry guns? Are you criminals?" " I thought we already established that we aren't bad guys?" Eagan asked Shannon stepped forward to save the situation as she explained to the Doctor why they were there. " Indeed, we are not from the military, but we are also not criminals; we are here to rescue survivors and put them safely until the military comes to rescue them. You can choose to go with us and not to; we w
They stood in front of the tall high school building, its gate wide open and zombies scattered everywhere in the compound. They entered and began killing the zombies. "Stephen and Silver, go and Check out which of the school buses is working correctly and bring it out front. Eagan, Princess, Preya, Shannon, Jess, and Ian will go to the female hostel; Matt, Teo, Yesuf, and light will stay out here to guard the entrance against the zombies, and the others will come with me to the boy's hostel. Eagan devised a plan after seeing the zombies scattered around the hostel. " To make things Faster, I'll attract the zombies while you go there to check for the survivors. Jess, Ian, and I will be here to clear the Zombies. How does that sound?" Eagan asked "won't it be too dangerous to gather them all here?" Preya asked "We'll hand it in. Just don't stay too long." "Why not just go in with us?" "In most novels, any guy who goes into the female hostel, even though it's out of goodwill, gets
