Chapter 365: 365
“Hah! No, it’s not. SV_CHEATS 1 is.” I cheekily replied and Lois was the only one who got it.
Kaley was shaking her head but Lois and I continued with our plan. I asked Kaley and Tatiana to keep watch while we dragged Mikhail with us. We were controlling the drones while Mikhail was the one camping with his melee weapon.
“Mikhail…” Lois trailed.
“Yes?” Mikhail replied.
“Can you say ‘Here’s~ Johnny~’, please?” Lois’ eyes were expectant.
“Oh yes, please do.” I chuckled.
“What? Here’s Johnny?” Mikhail said the words but the delivery was off.
“Nevermind…” Lois and I lost interest.
I lured the zombies on the 2nd floor to the end of the hallway and made it hover in place. The battery life was still above 70% and I felt confident that it could last until we were done.
When Lois started to lure the ones on the first floor out the door, I shot the first few so they would be an obstacle. It removed the requirement of placing a stick near the entrance. As time went on, the blood smeared on Mikhail’s fire axe was almost dripping. I made him wipe it off first while I handed Kaley my controller and killed a few myself.
Lois made another run through with his drone on the first floor and everything was killed.
A small pile of the dead was near the entrance so we dragged them to the side first before checking their bodies. I found a few IDs, wallets, watches, pieces of jewelry, and mobile phones. I made sure to take care of the mobile phones we found because we might find useful information stored inside before this DDR Camp got overrun.
We left two bodies near the entrance on top of one another so we could have the tripping system for the ones on the second floor.
Time quickly passed and the whole hospital was cleared almost illegally. I picked up my radio and got help from one of our clearing groups.

“Jay? Are you guys out now?”

“Sky? Yeah, we’re out and clearing the dead. We found a lost dog and we took it back earlier, I think it’s a Boxer? Derek is taking a look at it but it seemed to be fine. We’ll know later if it’s safe to take care of.”

“Oh, really? That’s good but let’s make sure that it’s safe first yeah? Anyway, Come to the Barangay of Arkong Bato at the San Lazarus Hospital. We found a lot of items here worth taking. We don’t want to drive back so I figured I’ll have you guys do it.”

“It’s really tame and its temperature was normal. It was just really hungry when we saw it and good thing Bing brought a few pieces of Jerky. Do you want us to bring more vehicles? We saw the 8-wheeler earlier and its windshield was… damaged. How about one of the military trucks in the DDR Camp?”
*bzzt*

*bzzt*
“Wait, what are you guys using right now?”
*bzzt*

*bzzt*
“The 6-wheeler you guys found before.”

“How about gas? You brought extra?”
*bzzt*
–
*bzzt*
“Gas? We always bring a container as per your suggestion. It’s still full.”
*bzzt*

*bzzt*
“Then that’s good. There’s an SUV and a few L300s here. You could just use them so you won’t drive back home. We’ll wait for you while we loot this place.”
*bzzt*
–
*bzzt*
“Sure. We’ll be there in a few.”

We ended the call and I brought Kaley and Mikhail inside, We went room by room and Mikhail was carrying our burdens for us. Mikhail just had a sack held up and everything we were planning to put in our bags was taken by him.
“Don’t worry, I can handle this work just fine.” Mikhail smiled at us.
“You’re really strong, aren’t you?” Kaley said, placing a few rolls of bandages on his sack.
“Well, I’m in the military, I’m supposed to be strong.” Mikhail replied.
“What we meant is that you’re stronger than most people. You even picked up Vera with one hand last time.” I explained.
“Oh~ Is that so? Yeah, I guess I am. It’s one of the few things I’m good at.” Mikhail chuckled.
“Let me ask you something, are you perhaps a machine gunner? No offense but I rarely see you let go of the trigger.” I said to him.
“Oh! Yes! Yes, I am one. Why do you ask?” Mikhail smiled for a moment.
“Well, if you don’t mind, I’m gonna ask Oscar to lend you his PKM- ah!” Mikhail suddenly grabbed me and lifted me up.
“What the f.u.c.k?!” I shouted in my head.
Kaley was chuckling, watching me getting manhandled by the guy I knocked out before.
“HAHAHA! The Pulemyot Kalashnikova! My favorite! I have one when they brought us here but Artem made me leave it behind over that other place!” Mikhail was ecstatic.
“Well, put me down first!” I exclaimed, trying to get out of his grasp.
“Oh! Sorry, sorry! Okay, down you go.” Mikhail was smiling and it was a better smile compared to Nikolas’ scary grin.
“It’s a little different though, it’s not full-auto, it’s semi-auto…” I explained.
“What?” Mikhail was confused.
“It was made by MCM Firearms. They made only a few of those things and it is quite rare. Oscar got his hands on one of those and it works like a charm.” I replied.
“But…” Mikhail was a little disheartened.
“Okay Mikhail, let me explain to you a few things. Using a semi-auto is what’s best for us right now. I didn’t say much when you provided suppressive fire because that’s what we needed at the time. However, on these deadheads, we need to conserve our ammo as much as possible. If you get used to it, you could fire faster and faster but not as fast as a full-auto obviously. To be honest with you, you’re the one who spent a lot more ammo compared to everyone. I’m not telling you not to shoot them but I’m telling you to be more… surgical. Do you understand what I’m saying?” I explained.
“Okay, I understand. A PKM is still a PKM. I just need to finger it fast and hard, right?” Mikhail said with a straight face and I accidentally snorted.
“Yes, you need to finger it fast and hard… over and over… absolutely.” I was nodding my head with a huge grin while Kaley was already facepalming.
“Yes, so it could still fire fast, right? That’s the key, finger it fast and hard, over and over, over and over.” Mikhail’s smile was back on his face and his accent was slowly showing.
We continued looting the place and we found several valuable items. The number of medical supplies inside was enough to put a huge smile on Kaley and I’s faces. We found a lot of bandages, cotton, rubbing alcohol, band-aids, gauzes, splints, gloves, masks, face shields, tongue depressors, blood infusion sets, catheters, syringes, needles, thermometers, and etc. 𝑛𝑂𝓥𝑒𝓵𝒏𝓮xt.𝒸𝐎𝗆
Most of them were inside the supply room and we also managed to get our hands on a defibrillator, nebulizer, an instrument sterilizer, and several oxygen tanks.
When we got to the little pharmacy inside, we got our hands on several bottles of antibiotics and pain relievers like ibuprofen and acetaminophen. There are also several dosages of anti-allergens, antihistamines, cough suppressants, and etc.
It took us a few trips and we placed everything we could put on the cargo space of the SUV and the three L300s used as ambulances. Our lookouts were piling bodies one after the other and we started burning them before I tried to reach Jay once more.

“Are you guys close?”

“We just passed the National High School of Arkong Bato.”

“You’re about halfway then, it would only be a few minutes before you reach us. Just turn left when you reach the boutique, you’ll see Jared and Lawrence over there.”

“Okay, we’ll be there.”

It took maybe fifteen minutes before they reached the hospital and we saw Jay with Bing, Daisy, Jon, Michael, Russel, and two other soldiers. They drove near the hospital and we saw a few valuable items in their truck bed. Mikhail just gave an upwards nod to Russel and Bing when their eyes meet.
“I almost forgot that he’s a part of their squad…” I thought to myself.
“Unc Zeidrick let you out, huh?” I said to Russel.
“Yep, I’ve been going out a few times already. Dad’s been busy with Raphael and Anthony so he would just nod to everything I say.” Russel replied.
“Do you know what they’re doing?” Kaley asked.
“Hmm? I don’t know what’s the other thing they’re doing at Anthony’s house but the other one I think is that they’re making custom holsters. Raphael borrowed my guns and he said that he took its measurements. I’m not gonna change my guns’ attachments anytime soon so they offered to make me one.” Russel replied.
“Oh, that’s a great idea. I only have tactical holsters for my guns I always use and not for everything else. For the others, I only have leather cutouts that aren’t as good as what we are using.” I replied.
“Yeah, they made a prototype for Ken’s double-barrel. It actually fits nice and Ken’s holster was more of a gun rack because they mounted it on the side of his wheelchair. They’re still working on it because they want to place shell holders on it as well.” Russel explained.
