"Yes!" Milo said, fist-pumping the air. "I got on the same team as big brother," He added excitedly. "Who decided it was a good idea to put me on the same team as the psycho best friends?" Ian whined, playing with a massive smile on his face "I'm giving that person my snacks for next week!" "I'll be free to get it from you," Eagan said playfully. "You should be happy you get to see my awesomeness every day," Silver bragged. "I still don't know how both of you go crazy with the zombies, but for my peace of mind, I have concluded that both of you are on steroids, "said Ian while playfully scrutinizing the two "Yup, definitely on steroids." "..." Shannon shakes her head as the boys fool around. " We aren't on steroids, but I'll you in on a secret," Silver said "So, there is a secret; I knew it! "Ian said dramatically, making Shannon roll her eyes at his stupidity. " You become best friends with Eagan you'll also get a chance to be awesome," Silver whispered to Ian " Eagan only s
"I can see you all are pumped up. "Eagan stood in the middle of his teammates. "Hell yeah! I must let out my frustration of getting beaten by the golem on something; the zombies are the perfect target. "Ian cracked his knuckles to show he meant business. "I also can't wait any longer for some actions," Milo said "You all will have enough time to have fun, we'll be moving out in an hour, but before then, I prepared your equipment." Eagan had spent his points on buying the equipment and also upgrading their weapons. He prepared vests, Masks, and hand protection against bites during a close combat fight with the zombies so they were safe. He handed each person their backpacks containing the props and upgraded weapons. "Woah, this is so cool!" "This protective on the hand is hard as iron; I won't have to worry about the zombie's bites now!" "You'll still need to be careful." "The gun is the right weight now; it'll be easy to shoot and carry around," Shannon comments. "Even the do
No matter how often Eagan asked Jonathan, he refused to tell him who 'they' were. At some point, he told him he didn't know them, that they always come out from nowhere to get food from other survivors. From his explanation, Eagan concluded that it was another one of the 'Church' situations. "Milo, take them to the bus. Have you had anything to eat?" Eagan asked the duo "No, our last food was taken three days ago," Jonathan answered just as their stomachs growled. "Here, you can have these till we get to our base. Are there other people apart from you two?" He handed them his chocolate bars and water bottles. "There are other people, but we separated a while ago in search of food, and there's no way we can contact them, " Jonathan explained as he eyed the chocolates. "It's not poisoned," Eagan said, noticing his Hesitation. "No, no, I didn't mean it was poison; I was just surprised you still have things like this around; we only get spoilt food or expired can foods," Jonathan ex
"We'll continue our raid in the Central Today; I have heard from the survivors that there are dangerous groups there; we'll avoid them if we can, and if we can't, we will throw out the trash," Eagan addressed the scavenger teams. "We will separate into teams as we go to the university to get the needed materials." "While teams 1 and 2 are on p district, teams 3,4, and 5 will patrol around and check out places with resources while also looking out for survivors… is there any question?" he asked. "What time are we meeting with other teams?" "We'll meet them once we are done getting the materials we need from the university," Eagan answered. "How do we know where to get those materials?" "He already gave the map of the school to me; our goal is to clear out the university of any zombies; when we clear them, we can use that place as a temporary base, and we can put survivors there, so we have a lot of work to do, I hope you all are ready!" "I'm more than pumped up for this; I can't
Without a break, he aimed at the second one, and with a bullet, he took him down. "Wow, I didn't know your sniper skill were this good!" Priya commented. "What isn't our captain good at?" The System has noticed some people pointing guns at you and your teammates and recommends hiding in a safe place; you can't kill until they have been proven to be enemies. "Silver, bring out a pen and paper, then write" we aren't your enemy; we won't open fire on you if you don't shoot us first" write it quickly, "Eagan instructed "What?" Silver asked, shocked at the request "Write it quickly, "Eagan repeated. "Sure… done; what now?" he asked after writing. "Raise it toward the building on your left." Silver did as instructed. They have withdrawn their guns; you may proceed to make negotiations with them. "Why did you ask me to do that?" Silver asked, still not understanding the reason for the request "There were some survivors pointing guns at us," Eagan Replied Silver scoffed and asked.
Shaking her head and clenching her fist, Eva responded, " We didn't eat all the food in here; it was those bastards from the Dragon base who had taken everything away, including supplies we gathered ourselves" Priya and Eagan glanced between them as Ian said, "Them again? Now I'm even more interested in them." Eva sighed, a frown adorning her beautiful face making her look stressed and older than she probably was " If you're just passing by, you should leave soon before they catch news of you being around," she ad iced with a sad smile. "Don't you think it's too late now?" Ian asked with a raised eyebrow, and Priya gave a nod in agreement "What do you mean by that?" Eva asked, sincerely confused "Us clearing the zombie horde is announcing our existence or, should I say, arrival in their territory. If that didn't get their attention, I don't know what will do," Priya said. All the while, Eagan has been quietly watching. "So, we would know what we are up against. Why not tell us wh
"Relax, I was only trying to lighten the mood, in case you haven't noticed; he..." he pointed to Eagan. "He is about to go on a killing rampage, and as much as I support the rage you all are feeling, we honestly can't make a hasty decision that comes with his rage. Trust me, I've witnessed lots of it, but right now, we are dealing with a scumbag drug dealer, and a freaking army of we'll train men," Silver explained, and the glaring stopped seeing he was right to try to soften the mood. Eagan relaxed a little; one of the reasons he is best friends with the silver-haired idiot sitting to his right is because he knows when and when not to do things that could potentially end their lives or save their lives. Small chatter erupted in the room as they discussed ways to deal with the base. Amidst the conversation going on, Silver remained silent, clenching and unclenching his fist; Eagan noticed his movement, looked at him in the eyes, and saw he was livid and confused. "What up?" Eagan a
"I already got a list from Nina, and we only have twenty people willing to go with us; I am surprised at how well-managed this place is; honestly, only twenty out of about two thousand people; you've lived up to our expectations," Uncle Festus compliments over the call. "I learned from the best. Can you come to the center? There are many people here, and I would like it if you could help deal with a group of people," Eagan asked tentatively. "I'm sure you could deal with those people, can't you?" Uncle Festus asked "They are drug dealers," Eagan said, and Uncle Festus sucked in a breath. "I'll be there in an hour; wait for me." "Thanks! I'll send the location." "There won't be a need for that; there is a tracker on all the buses from the base, "Uncle Festus explained, and Eagan rolled his eyes. It sounds like they'd do "How unexpected!" He mocked playfully He hung up before any other words would be said; Priya looked at him, curiosity floating in her eyes as she asked. "Is th
