Code Zulu Alpha: Nerd in the Apocalypse! Chapter 621

Chapter 621

For the ti we have left until sundown, we chucked off all the bodies we put down while the rest gathered all of the dical supplies and equipnt they could. After that, we placed them inside our huge truck, maximizing space by placing obscurely shaped items onto our other vehicles available. Furthermore, we also checked the vehicles below if there was anything of value we could take ho like fuel, food, or even the vehicle itself.

"Ergency room first! Oh! There's also that room on floors 3, 5, and 7!"

"Roger-- hey! Tatiana! Don't head to the cafeteria! We were just told to--"

"The fuck are you talking about? We need food on a daily basis! In a way, it's more important than dicine!"

"Ah..."

"Ooh! A twinkie!"

"..."

After that, we also marked the rooms where the bigger machines were affixed so we'd be able to formulate a plan as to when we would try and take them back ho. A place to properly install them also needed to be reconstructed but locating the biggest piece of the problem was accomplished.

The only thing we wouldn't be able to accomplish was to tackle the 27-floor building at the end of this dical center. It would at least take us the whole day and so change to successfully clear it out but we just don't have the ti right now. However, that would be the top of the agenda first thing tomorrow morning. We just made a group watch the building while we were working in case anything occurred unexpectedly.

I pointed to a luxury SUV near the entrance, "How about that one, Unc? I checked it earlier, it's--"

"Hmm~ It's still mint and the scratches here and there could be easily buffed off. It's good but in terms of utility, we should just bring ho that truck with those oxygen tanks. It's half-full but you could fit stuff in the back… Umm… That Escalade too if you feel like it."

"Fine, fine. Let's fill them up with a bit of gas and so of the boxes we took from the ergency room."

"Alright."

After a while, we were ready and about to head ho but I took one final look at the last building. It was still standing tall but the only difference it had with the building we blood washed was that it had little to no movent even when we created a fuck ton of noise. It was supposed to be the one that had more to throw at us but it was the complete opposite.

'Am I missing sothing here?'

I was deep in thought but we eventually drove off the premises, and our team brought the rear. I was sitting comfortably at the back but as I looked at the far distance, the team I sent to deal with the dead stranded on a street right next to the river seed to be done with their work as well.

It was because I saw two places where black smoke was billowing at opposite ends of the street they told they were having small issues.

I wasn't exactly sure they cleared the whole area but they decided on a proper ti to punch their attendance cards out.

'Resting is also part of the process...'

We continued to drive the sa way back and we even t with other groups using the sa way as us. A few words were exchanged and we just turned into a long convoy heading straight for ho. Surprisingly enough, we didn't encounter many deadheads on the way ho because maybe we took down a lot of them today compared to a normal clearing group doing their rounds.

When we got back, the sun had already disappeared into the horizon and the guards on duty before we left have already tagged out with the guards for the evening. Night protocols were also being enforced and the streets were starting to get empty. Only our patrols were allowed to travel freely unless there was a viable reason or an ergency.

We then left the truck at the back of the DDR Camp before we went straight to our compound.

'Finally ho...'

As soon as we stepped out of our vehicle, we were warmly welcod by everyone inside. We were only gone for the whole day but it was always a relief getting back in one piece, it felt like we were away for ages. Nevertheless, everyone else felt drained and we just opted for a short eting after eating dinner.

I first gave a summary of what happened on our trip but I didn't skip the deadhead's behaviors. However, when I was just about to end my report, sothing struck my mind.

'Wait-- That's what we-- That's what I fucking missed!'

I was staring blankly at everyone and Oscar addressed it.

"Kid, are you okay?"

Several things went into my head but I was roughly calculating the amount of goop that flowed out from the third floor, along with the bodies we put down, taking into account that I watched all of it get flushed down to the 1st floor. I glanced a few tis at my team to almost ask a question but everything was finally clear.

I blurted out, "We missed sothing."

Oscar was confused, "What?"

I turned to my group once more, "We definitely missed sothing."

Artem looked at deeply before asking the sa question as Oscar, "What did we miss?"

I sighed before looking at everyone, "We missed the elevator."

"Elevator? What elevator?"

Katya interjected, "We did not. We opened the-- oh. We just wedged the doors from the 1st and 3rd floor."

"Get it now? We opened the doors to it but we have never seen… it. It's probably on the last floor and we didn't even think about checking that small space..."

Matthew interjected as well, "But… does it matter? It could be nothing? How much space it could hold? Is it enough to give us trouble?"

I sighed once more before starting to scratch my head, "It could be nothing but what if it's sothing? Our rule is--"

Oscar waved off after Marina cleared it up for him, "Kid. You're going back tomorrow, right? What's the problem? Oh, right... That thing of yours. It could be nothing? Right?"

I was starting to scratch my head more furiously then I replied, "Uh-huh. Tomorrow… Sure..."

I started feeling like a woodpecker was drilling a hole in my head but I tried my best to calm myself down. However, I wasn't able to pay any attention to the rest of the people that gave their reports so I let Oscar take over for this night.

'I already had the thought of checking it but I didn't check-- This isn't like … shit...'

What I wanted right now was an intense workout to help forget about it for the ti being and the gym upstairs was the best solution. As soon as the eting ended, I just went ahead of everybody and ran on the treadmill like I was trying to outrun my shadow. After that, I increased the repetitions I would do for lifting weights by two sets and I ignored almost everybody that tried to talk to .

I just noticed that Kaley was waving over, "Hey~! You're gonna teach a class, right? Everyone's waiting down-- Everyone's just getting ready!"

I continued to pull myself up from a bar, "What? I am? I thought-- Sure! Just let finish then I'll do it right after."

"Oh, okay! See you then!"

"Sure."

To be completely honest, I couldn't even understand almost anything that everyone told while I was pushing myself hard, and my short conversation with Kaley was the only one I could rember.

After a while, I just noticed that I was alone in the gym while music was still blasting, and my clothes were drenched with sweat.

I looked at the wall clock and it was exactly midnight. I thought I would only be increasing my workout for a bit but it seed like I doubled it. However, I still felt refreshed even if my muscles were aching quite a bit.

'I guess I forgot a little too much...'

I just scratched my head and removed my shirt before heading down to grab a towel from my room. However, once I opened the door, everyone was just in the middle of taking off our high school uniform and changing into their pajamas. A few props were on the table for so play as well and a costu was also set aside for .

Kaley was the first one to notice and she was shaking her head while pouting by keeping air on one side of her cheek.

"You doofus! You're late!"

I was confused, "What? Oh… the 'class'..."

Cynthia laughed awkwardly, "Oh… do… do we put this on again? Kaley?"

Rin turned to Kaley as well, "W-We do… r-right?"

Kaley just shook her head, "Don't bother… sorry… it was supposed to be a surprise… It would be better if he ca in here when we're still wearing it… I think we lost the elent of surprise..."

Tatiana chuckled, "That's true. We wore this costu once and that was one of the best tis I ever had! I can't even rember how much I squirted on--"

I just cut them off before saying, "Okay, I'm just gonna grab a towel here and take a shower for a few minutes. I actually saw nothing and I'll let you guys continue with whatever you're doing… When I'm back, whatever happens, happens…"

The four of them just looked at each other before letting out a smile. They seed to be figuring out a few things given the ti and I left them alone to complete it. I really did just grab a towel to take a hot shower in the bathroom and even took a short soak to release so tension.

Once I got back, I was t with a different scenario.

All of them were wearing different-colored pajamas and they were 'sleeping' soundly on the bed. They were all in various positions but I already know what this ant. I would be doing almost all of the work but let's just consider it appeasent for forgetting a little too much and being late for our nightly escapades.
