Promises are made to be broken

"..."

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 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 explained

The 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 ZOMBIES

121,122,123,124,125...

"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."
