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 askedShannon 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 won't force you."The Doctor went inside the room and closed the door behind him" Damn, I've never met someone with this many trust issues!" Ian joked" We live in dangerous times, and everyone is taking preventive measures. Many people are fans of Apocalypse movies and stories, and many of those stories have bad guys bullying the weak, you know?" Preya explainedThe door opened again, this time a little bit wider" We'll go, but you must promise we'll be safe.""Promises are meant to be broken, but we will try our best to keep you all safe.""Thank you," the doctor put out his hand for a handshake with Matt."We are going to the next floor to check for other survivors. Help us gather the resources on this floor; Preya, your team will stay with them until Kyle's team arrives, " Matt instructed" Got it!"Once Matt's team left, Preya and her teammates with the survivors began gathering the resources on that floor, and as instructed, once Kyle's team came up, Preya's team went to join Matt's team." We're there any survivors on the lower floor?" Priya asked Kyle" Yeah, there were; we gathered the resources on the lower floor and sent them to the bus."" Sam, escort all survivors down. There aren't many resources here that are useable, so everyone grabs a box each and heads down to the bus," Kyle instructed.The zombies died when Preya and her team made it to the next floor. Matt's team was boxing us the supplies when Priya's team got up the floor." How come I'm playing a losing game?"His teammates looked at him, questioning his question."???"" I challenged Eagan to see who would kill more zombies at the end of the raid, but now I know I can't win," Silver whined, and his teammate laughed."Lol, we can't decide the winner yet."So far, the operation has been going smoothly without a hitch; true, the zombies here in the hospital are way more than the ones in the supermarket the previous day, but the operation is more straightforward than that of yesterday, probably due to their success yesterday boosted their morale and confidence. It also got them familiar with the weapons and also zombies.Eagan wasn't carrying his pistol today. He had a rifle with him, upgraded it before leaving the base, and kept the firearms in his gun holder's belt as extras. His team was killed while the other two rescued and cleared supplies and zombies.At the end of the operation, they rescued two professors, ten specialist doctors, five security guards, one newborn baby, four nurses, six older patients, and fifteen younger patients, none of which were bitten or sick. The doctors immediately took care of every injured one; they were forty-three survivors."There are other resources in the hospital storage; I can lead you there; I'm sure your shelter will need them," A female professor said"Please lead the way; we'll all go to get them. It'll be quicker that way, and what about the mother of the newborn?" Matt asked after noticing it was a nurse carrying the baby." She died during delivery... I'll be responsible for him, "the nurse answered with a smile."That's good enough, not that we'll leave him behind even if you aren't responsible... let's get moving."The professor led them to the storage, and they could break open the door after trying several keys that didn't open it. On the hold were different medical supplies ranging from medicines to equipment. It was a fruitful raid; there were losses, they rescued survivors, and they got more than enough medical supplies and personnel.The truck returned to the base with the survivors from the hospital, with Kyle's team escorting the survivors.Adam suggested they go to the high school near the hospital.While walking toward the high school on the next block, they killed as many zombies as possible while avoiding being bitten by them, zombies.YOU HAVE KILLED ZOMBIES121,122,123,124,125..."Hey, don't you get tired or at least have a limit or something?" Dexter from the princess' team asked Eagan, who was busy clearing out zombies" Have you ever seen someone without a limit?" Silver asked Dexter"..." Dexter kept quiet and continued on his journey"I do have a limit, I haven't reached it yet, though, and as for the gun, I'm using the pistol to conserve the bullets for the riffle, and most importantly, one shot kills all the way," Eagan explains proudly that if it were a comic or an anime his nose would have been drawn thin and long pointing to the sky.Silver scoffed at his pride." Yeah, you shoot like a professional, so what?" Silver asked, feigning jealousy."Did you do shoot practice without my knowledge, genius young master Eagan?" Silver raised his eyebrow at Eagan, who returned it with a playful glare"I didn't""No, true! How are you better than me, then? We started learning together!"" Beginner's luck?"Fuck beginners' luck.""Besides, I'm the genius, not you.""You dimwit..." they bickered as they walked.Since they needed to hide and kill Zombies on their way to the school while walking, the walk took twice the required time."We are here."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
Eagan walked towards the back of the female hostel and saw five women battling with the few zombies with sticks. Most of the zombies were already dead due to the noise he made the other time to attract them. Preya and Princess shoot at the zombies, careful not to hit the teachers. Once all the zombies were killed, the teacher breathed out, relieved they were finally safe. They ran towards the student to check if any of them were hurt or bitten, but they were all acceptable, to their relief. " Thank you for rescuing us; we have been reaching out to the government, but we haven't heard anything from them, so we thought they weren't going to send rescuers to us," explained a female teacher who had on a pair of blue jeans and a pink top, looked to be in their mid or late 30s. " We aren't from the military," Eagan said for the nth time since they began to rescue survivors. "Oh" " Don't worry. We are not going to harm you either." " I don't think you'll tell us if you want to," someone
ALERT! ALERT! THERE IS AN EVOLVED ZOMBIE NEARBY! ALERT! ALERT! THERE IS AN EVOLVED ZOMBIE NEARBY! "There is an evolved zombie close by," Eagan told his comrades. "You are kidding, right?" "No way, Shannon has jinxed it with her mouth!" "Do you remember when we were fighting the level two zombie yesterday? And then it called screeched to call reinforcement? Yeah, I think that is what is going on now," Eagan explained. " But we aren't fighting any .... Captain!" Realization dawned on them, and they groaned " Will there still be my survivors in the classrooms?" "I wouldn't know; we need a radio to communicate freely in combat; they probably won't have time to pick up an actual call." Light pointed at the incoming horde of zombies and asked, "would we have time to make a call?" While they were busy killing the zombies to prevent them from entering the school, Adam and his team faced off with the evolved zombie. "Fuck! This one is even more freaking difficult than the one we met
Like always, Eagan went through the normal speech process; a total of one hundred and five survivors were added to them and their total number summed up to two hundred and twenty plus the newborn baby. It's still a long way to go to reach the total capacity of people needed to fill the base capacity, but it is a good start. Everyone got registered, some high school students volunteered to be on the cleaning team, some girls joined the farming team, and the boys and the teachers volunteered to be on the combat and rescue team. The Doctors were also assigned to their posts: dentists, pediatrics, cardiologist, and even we're doctors dealing with internal organs. The doctors also agreed to train some of the high school students who were interested in medicine. After their registration, they were told about the rules and regulations of the base. Adam particularly emphasized the rewards and the punishment, letting them know that their base wasn't a lawless place where anyone could do any
WOULD YOU LIKE TO TRAIN WITH THE BATTLE GOLEM? After placing it in the training room connected to his room, the golem asked. The battle golem was almost a foot taller than Eagan's five-eight; the golem's body was made of steel and was hard to touch. "No," he replied, he was too tired to train that night, and he had to meet Nina and Naina to discuss some things before going to sleep. 'I'm so tired I wish someone could take over from here,' he thought. As he was heading back to his room, he saw silver coming into his room with two cups of milk like the day before. "Dude, don't you get tired, or are you made of steel or something? Did you go to train even after a long day of killing zombies?" Silver asked in disbelief as he handed him a cup of milk. "I didn't go to train; I just went in there to drop something," Eagan replied and began drinking his milk. "I know as have to get stronger and all but you can't do that if you are disabled or sick because of stress; what I'm trying to s
A slight knock came on the door, and Nina said, " Hello, Eagan; you invited me" Nina smiled as she walked in. " Yes, please come with me" he stood up from the bed and pressed the button that headed to the control room. "Oh, I'm surprised this place exists; I have never heard about it, not seen it in the general plan; how did you find it?" Nina asked as they climbed the stairs " I saw a note that directed me." As they entered the control room, Nina noticed Naina sitting on the chair while typing away on the computer. "Someone is here; who is that?" Nina whispered to Eagan; he chuckled and teased her, "You sound like a jealous girlfriend." Nina gave him a disapproving look, and Eagan raised his hands in surrender. " Okay, Okay! That's Naina; she's the one in charge of this place; hey Naina, meet Nina," Eagan called out to Naina, who was so engaged in what she was doing that she didn't two notice the two walks into the room. " She is like me," Nina said and approached Naina, who h
"What do you think about the shooting? I have improved, haven't I?" Silver asked Eagan; they were both sitting on top of the bus, keeping watch over the surroundings as the other teams went into the nearby houses to check for survivors. Not all came out today as they are training them to work in teams and get used to a small number of scavengers instead of the usually huge numbers that go out daily. "You could use some improvement," Eagan said frankly. " Would it kill you to compliment me? Of course, I'm aware I need a lot of improvement, but at least you could have said something like, 'oh, you did well' or ' you are impressive!' humph, how am I friends with someone like you" Sliver said dramatically while folding his hands on his chest. "Would you rather have me lie to you?" Eagan asked "Of course not! But at least you could butter me up a bit." " I didn't know you were bread," he teased, and Silver smacked his back hard while yelling. " Fuck you, Eagan." They suddenly heard
One month later "Congratulations, you have completed the beginner-level training." Eagan sat down exhausted after training with the golem the whole night. "How many minutes did it take this time?" "I5 minutes and 3 seconds…you broke yesterday's record by 1 min." "Good; starting next, I'll begin trying with the intermediate golem. How many points do I have available?" "You have 35,907 points and 12-wheel tickets." "Saving it was the best…I can do more things with that," Eagan said, still sitting on the floor to catch his breath. "Yes, there are advanced-level weapons available to you now." "I'll leave the points for now…what is a silver record with the golem?" Eagan asked, curious about his best friend's progress. They had started trying a week apart. "Silver has not beaten the golem, but his movement and strength have increased this weak compared to the last," the system informed. "That's good news…he'll soon wake up for his training," he said and got up. It's been a month a
