Chapter 114: 114
I picked it up and placed it on my ear.
*bzzt*
“Bro, were done. Sorry about earlier.”
*bzzt*
*bzzt*
“That’s fine, we took care of it. Just come to the back entrance of the academy and get to the 2nd floor. We’re slowly checking the rooms. Wait, if you could find a few kegs of sulfuric acid in your chemistry lab take it all.”
*bzzt*
*bzzt*
“I’ll try but there’s still a few roaming inside the school. We’ll head there if possible. We encountered a few sprinters here and good thing it slammed on a vending machine. They would just run straight without checking the obstacles in their paths.”
*bzzt*
*bzzt*
“Oh really? There are more sprinters here though, you’re a bit lucky. We encountered a lot and a few dozen regular ones. Oh yeah, break the glass of that vending machine and take everything! I’ll take dibs on the Kit-Kat bars there.”
*bzzt*
*bzzt*
“Already did bro. We have ch.i.p.s too. Russel would go crazy over these things.”
*bzzt*
*bzzt*
“Hurry kids.”
*bzzt*
*bzzt*
“Oscar? Something happened there?”
*bzzt*
*bzzt*
“I had too much to eat earlier and I’m feeling it about to come out the other side. You know I can’t evacuate if it’s not my toilet.”
*bzzt*
*bzzt*
“HAHAHAHA!!! Just hold it for a few more minutes. We’re almost done.”
*bzzt*
We ended the short talk and then we entered the nurse’s office. It was filled with different kinds of medical supplies ranging from bandages, antibiotics, first-aid kits, burn ointments, disinfectant alcohols and a few painkillers. I also found a few bottles of Morphine, Aspirin and etc. I placed them in the bags and we carried what we could and we headed to where their armory is supposed to be located.
*bzzt*
“Bro, were at the second floor. Can’t find the sulfuric acid you were talking about. We just looted a few more vending machines in the school.”
*bzzt*
*bzzt*
“That’s fine, I’m just hoping we’d have an alternative to take care of the bodies at home. Go ahead the pile of bodies and turn right, walk three rooms forward and then another right. We’re at the front door of the armory.”
*bzzt*
*bzzt*
“Roger. Hope that MK-14 is still there.”
*bzzt*
The armory is next to a room labeled ‘PURCHASING DEPARTMENT’. We entered that room first and we only found paperwork after paperwork. Jared met up with us and they have a few blood splatters on their clothes.
“Here we are guys; hope we find something in here.” I said as I opened the door.
*creak*
Jared gave a disappointed expression but I just patted his back. The guns inside are mostly gone but there is still a lot inside.
“It’s impossible that they left this place full now would it? What’s left is still a lot.” I said to him.
“Yeah, I just hoped that the gun I was looking for was still here.” Jared said.
“There’s still the 3rd floor, right?” I said.
“You haven’t got to that place yet? Hmm, I hope we find more upstairs.” Jared said.
It was a huge armory but what’s left inside are two M4 rifles, five Winchester ’94s, two Ruger 77s, three Maverick 88s, four Glock 17s, one Mac-10, two M1911s and seven .38 Specials. On one corner are two battering rams with five body armors hanging from a small closet. There are about a dozen extending batons and there are also a couple canisters of tear gas and smoke grenades. There’s also 8 riot shields the same as what my uncle is carrying. There’s also a couple dozen of uniforms folded with different sizes on a box on one corner.
“Could this battering ram the one used on the zombie on the 1st floor earlier? It’s the right size.” I said to myself.
The silver lining is that there are several metal boxes here that are full of different types of ammunition. There are four boxes of 5.56s, two for 9mms, three for 7.62s, six for .45 ACPs, one for .44 Magnums, three for .308s, and two for .38s. There are a few dozen empty magazines here for different guns so that’s a plus. Finding all this ammo here made up for what we used earlier. We even found a couple of suppressors that can be added to the M4s that we found here and a few chokers for the shotguns. We placed everything on the cases and we readied them so that a few of the guys will head down to load them in the truck. I radioed my uncle and I said to park the truck at the glass door in front while Oscar and Lois clear the few zombies in the area. It took a while but we loaded everything below.
*bzzt*
“Holy shit kid, this is a lot of guns compared to what we got before. Well, this is a police academy so it’s understandable.”
*bzzt*
*bzzt*
“Hahaha, one more floor old man. Keep it tight.”
*bzzt*
*bzzt*
“You little… I just forgot about it and now you’re reminding me again!”
*bzzt*
He stopped talking after a few probes and we proceeded to the last floor. It has multiple rooms same as the ones below but I remember that there is the head’s room here and the administration office where the servers could be located. Everyone is present now so we continued with searching the whole area. The way towards it is the same staircase we went before. We slowly climbed it and I peeked when we reached the floor.
What I noticed was that there are already a few on the ground probably taken care of and I noticed a small barricade of tables on one side that leads to the administrator’s office. I decided for us to check the other rooms first before we head to the head office and the administrator’s office.
“Be ready guys. You’ve seen the pile on the 2nd floor. There could be a lot more here.” I said.
“Heh. But we’re a lot more now.” Mark chimed.
“Well, you’re right about that.” I replied.
We started to simultaneously check each room. The room I went in is a lobby for the instructors and there are several tables and chairs and a counter for some refreshments. There’s a couple boxes of coffee, creamers, and tea on the cupboards and a couple of biscuits on the side. It has a big frame that lists all the names of the instructors here based on their position. There are several names on the frame listed so I just skimmed over them.
I exited the room and I saw Tatiana wiping her face with a towel. The fire axe I gave her has blood smeared on the sharp side and it is slowly dripping on the ground. The room they came from is a classroom and probably has a few inside but they took care of it using their melee weapons because the others had their blades drawn as well.
“Well that’s good that they’re trying to conserve ammo.” I said to myself.
“Just don’t forget that your lives are more important than bullets.” I reminded them as they all gave faint smiles.
“I thought we need to conserve as much as possible.” Jared replied.
“Yeah, but we could still find and make more. I couldn’t make a clone of you guys.” I replied.
“Well how much ammo do we need anyway?” Jared asked.
“I could say about 50 Million rounds?” I said.
“Oh- wait, what?!” he exclaimed.
“Give or take.” I said.
“That many?! Why?!” he asked.
“That’s the population in our island group. We’re about 50 Million here. Well, that’s not including the 322 that I killed all in all.” I replied.
“Hold on, you’re counting all your kills?!” Jared exclaimed once more.
“Yeah.” I replied.
“How many did I kill then?!” he was excited.
“I dunno, why would I know that?” I replied.
“But you have the best memory here!” he exclaimed.
“Hey, I can only remember what I see. I’m not all-seeing you know.” I replied as we walked forward.
“I’m gonna start counting mine then.” he said.
“Then do it if you can then. Just don’t let counting them get in the way of what we’re doing here yeah?” I said.
“Sure.” he replied.
We now checked more rooms as we drew closer to our goal. We cleared less here and only the regular ones seems to be roaming around the 3rd floor. Even I was using my katana and Kaley her wakizashi. We searched everything minor and we went to the head’s room and found a couple of soldiers sitting in a corner where their heads are blown off by the pistols in their hand. I found a single battering ram on one of the officers and surmised that this guy is probably the one who struck the head of the zombie on the first floor. There are four bodies in total and one that seems to have the higher rank among all of them is seated on one of the chairs but his head is also blown sideways. He’s holding a gun with his right and a cigar on his left. I looked at everyone and they have solemn expressions.
