I couldn’t see anything unusual which was weird.Suddenly, I heard a faint electronic sound coming from somewhere inside the building. It repeated every few seconds, followed by a burst of static.I stopped. “Do you hear that?”Claire nodded. “Sounds like a radio.”[ELECTRONIC SIGNAL DETECTED.][SOURCE: EMERGENCY TRANSMITTER.][STATUS: ACTIVE.]It seemed someone had left a transmitter running and the signal was drawing the infected toward the station. I didn’t know whether it had been activated accidentally or deliberately but it explained why the horde had been gathering in the same place.“We need to shut that thing off,” Daniel said.“Yes, but first we need to make sure we can reach it without getting surrounded.”I studied the ar
I was reviewing the base’s defensive layout when Roger knocked on my office door.“There’s a group at the gate,” he said. “Five people. They’re armed but they haven’t threatened anyone. Their leader says she wants to speak with you.”I put down the tablet. “Did she say what she wanted?”“She says her name is Ruth. She’s representing a nearby base and wants to discuss an alliance.”“An alliance?”Interesting. So far, I had not got invitations for one so I had to hear this one out. “Alright. I’m going.”After the incident with Shelly, I realized I needed to be more careful when opening the gate. But then again if this woman wanted to attack us, she would have brought more people.In my previous life, I had believed that helping people would make them loyal to me. I had shared supplies and risked my life for neighbors who needed up betraying me without second thought.Although I had learnt my lesson, I was still willing to help, but without compromising my safety. If Ruth wanted my help,
“Do you know something about this?” I asked him.He shook his head. “Nope. Nothing at all. Just wondering why youre taking them.”I didnt believe him but I didnt have the time to question him. He didnt look like the kind of guy who could be peaceful forever.After getting what we came for, we decided to leave immediately. When we went outside, newer zombies had come and were heading towards a young man screaming in the car. He was yelling out certain names, as if he was part of Brigg’s team but none of the people inside were coming to help him.So, I did. I shot the zombies and took him to our truck. Daniel and Victor were right. Having numbers presented a slight advantage in the apocalypse. After putting away the things, I went to take a nap, leaving Claire in charge.When I woke up, my head was hurting so I decided to get some painkillers from the medical room. I also needed to clean up the small cut Shelly had made on my cheek with her sword.Claire’s loud laughter made me freeze
I turned aside before he could grab my rifle and drove my elbow into his chest. He staggered back, swearing, while I brought my weapon up and aimed it at him.Then a loud crash echoed from inside the warehouse. Everyone turned. Another crash followed, accompanied by a chorus of snarls that made my stomach tighten. The barricaded door at the far end of the loading area shook violently. Briggs went pale. “What the hell is that?”[WARNING: HOSTILE INFECTED BREACH IMMINENT.][Hostile Infected Remaining: 23.]The warehouse door burst open and Zombies poured through the opening, knocking over crates and climbing over one another as they rushed toward the loading area. Some wore torn military uniforms, while others had been trapped inside long enough for their clothing to rot away. Their faces were bloodied, and their movements became increasingly frantic when they spotted the living people outside.Briggs’s men immediately began firing. The first zombie dropped, but several more rushed in
When I came back, I remembered that the system warned me about defense consuming energy and resources. I needed to get more points to upgrade and keep the system running.I walked to the window and looked out. Lavender was playing with Leo. Leo would throw a ball and she would catch. She seemed to be settling in well with everyone. She had begged us to also go and rescue her brothers which we did after searching their house properly. There was nothing suspicious and all of them seemed like nice people. Besides, it was good to have more manpower at the base.I glanced up. although I couldnt see the dome shield, I could feel it. The shield had done an excellent job protecting the house when Victor’s drones attacked, which made it even more important for me to upgrade it. I also needed to improve my carryon firearms and find more supplies. Building a base was turning out to be an expensive hobby but I liked it.[SURVIVAL MISSION AVAILABLE.][Objective: Secure Abandoned Military Supply
I left the monitors and immediately went downstairs. I pressed the intercom when I reached the gate.“Who are you?” I asked, staring at the woman through my tab. She smiled. “Wouldnt you want you know?”“What do you want?”“Open the door and I’ll tell you everything,” she said.I chuckled. “I’m not that stupid.”“Cool, I’m leaving.” I titled my head as frown lines filled my forehead. This woman could be a dangerous enemy if I didnt handle her well. I honestly didnt know what to do.“First tell me who you are,” I said. “Shelly Black,” she said. “I worked at Legion Tech with you, and that’s how I know everything about those chips. I dont know how you can control them since we made limited remotes but I can tell you more about them.”“Okay,” I said. She didnt seem like a crazy maniac so I was hoping we could talk. “Give me a minute.”I went back to the house and picked up my upgraded rifle and went back to open the gate. “Wow,” Shelly said, looking around as she walked in through gat
