Novel Bin Chapter 111
Chapter 111: 111
“Just go kid! Stop wasting time!” Oscar shouted while I saw Kaley rolling her eyes.
Oscar looked like he wants a piece of the action himself and he’s wearing a disgruntled expression. I cleared a lot of them and I wiped the blade with a cloth. I heard a few suppressed bullets firing but there were none coming from my direction. I kept on killing a few that were close and some that are a bit away just to be safe.
“What do we take kid? Want us to find the keys first or just hot-wire them?” Oscar asked.
“Right, they need keys. Just hot-wire them then. Take the biggest one here but grab the medical supplies from inside the few that would be left here.” I said.
“Sure thing kid.” Oscar replied.
*PSSHEW* *bolt slide*
I hear the M70 firing. I looked at Jared with a smirk while Lois has an annoyed expression.
“Sprinter?” I asked.
“Yeah. Just the regular kind though. It came from the city hall across the street. I saw it running down the stairs. See that ‘lil bro? That’s called skill.” he replied then looked toward Lois.
“Well that’s pretty far to be fair. I’m busy guarding the people here that’s why I didn’t see it. I killed more than you though.” Lois replied while scanning the place.
“Nah, the special ones give more points!” Jared said.
*thunk* *thunk*
“Stop arguing and watch the people below!” Nicole, their elder sister shouted as she sinks a few knuckles in.
The two immediately stopped bickering and remained silent.
“Good thing Nicole is here, making these two stop bickering is a pain in the ass.” I said to myself.
“You guys okay over there?” I asked the group who cleared with me from the other side.
“Well, you cleaned up most of them so it’s all good.” Zardon said as a few of them guards Oscar at the mobile that looks almost like a trailer.
Each mobile was opened and it took a bit of time since there were one and a half-dozen of them in the area. They carefully checked each if there would be someone inside or below the vehicle. They grabbed everything from the vehicles and placed the supplies in the trailer that Oscar is in. It took a few minutes to make a small perimeter so I started on moving some of the bodies on the side with help from a few of them since we don’t want to drive over them later.
*BRRRRRRRRMM*
“WHOO! F.U.C.K YEAH!” Oscar shouted.
Oscar howled as he successfully started it and we drove the vehicles across the street where the firetrucks are parked. Our 8-wheeler is parked next to a firetruck and it is right beside the mobile clinic that we took.
“Want me to try the trucks as well kid?” Oscar asked.
“No, a few of us head to this fire station first. I want keys available on this thing since on the case of an emergency we could drive this thing quickly. Besides, we could get a lot of things here too. Kaley, Matthew, Tatiana, Mark and Dong come with me inside. The rest stay here and clear a few that walks across.” I said.
The fire station is a two-story building that has a parking area on its right side where several firetrucks are parked but now, a small one and a medium-sized one are left. There used to be a huge firetruck here where there is a platform connected that could extend a few feet that I wanted to have. I picked the glass door and shone a flashlight around. I looked for the switch and when I flicked it, the whole place got lit up and all I could see first was a receiving area with a few tables strewn about.
I made a small commotion as I knocked on the tables. I waited a few moments and no one seems to be here.
“Dong guard the entrance yeah? We’ll move forward to the small rooms here. Mark, keep watch on that staircase that leads to their equipment area.” I said as the two moved.
The small rooms only contain paperwork after paperwork but there’s a fire extinguisher at the side with a metal fire axe covered by glass. I saw Matthew about to strike it with his elbow but I stopped him.
“Why are you so noisy? Wait a bit. You’re like Oscar.” I said as I grabbed the duct tape from by pack.
Kaley chuckled while Tatiana made a faint smile as Matthew grumbles, I taped a portion of it and said, “Now elbow it.”
*crrck*
The noise was minimized and I handed the metal fire axe to Tatiana.
“You need some range with your melee weapon, take this.” I said as she accepted it.
I skimmed over the map of the city and I saw the other places where the other fire stations are located. I them guided us to the 2nd floor while I let Mark guard the entrance with Dong.
The 2nd floor is the firemen’s quarters and there are several uniforms on the lockers on one side. I looked at one side and I found a box with 5 new uniforms for firefighters along with the helmets. There’s also a rack inside where there are several fire extinguishers of different types.
I looked at the labels and there are the five main types. Water, Foam, Dry Powder, Wet Chemical and Carbon Dioxide.
“This is good. We take them all.” I said.
“Really?” Kaley asked.
“Yeah. There’s not a single type of fire extinguisher that could put out all the classes of fires. There’s always a best fit for each one.” I replied.
I walked through the head office and I smiled when I saw a small place where all of the keys are located. Each key is labeled and I grabbed the one for the truck below.
We took a medium-sized firetruck that has two ladders on top of it. The electric buses were not here but what we found here is still plenty.
“Bro, that’s a canteen there. Should we open it now?” Jared said.
On a small flight of stairs, there’s a few roll-ups that could be raised and the canteen for the workers and the students could eat. There is definitely a lot of food items here but I need to make sure it’s safe first.
“Right, hold for a minute.” I said as I slammed my hand on the roll-up repeatedly.
*BANG* *BANG* *BANG*
I waited for a moment and nothing happens. I looked below the roll-ups where they would be locked by a padlock and I noticed that all of them are still on there. I tasked some of the guys to get the items from the fire station first while I made necessary precautions.
“Nothing’s here but we’ll do this later. Let’s go to the academy first and see if the things we’re looking for are still there.” I said.
The vehicles are now parked with the fire truck and the mobile clinic. The area it was parked at is relatively safe and it’s on a shade so it does not stick out. I left my uncle, Lois and Oscar in the area so we would have people guarding our vehicles and then the rest of us headed to the school and the police academy.
On the way, we encountered several so I spear-headed the formation while the rest fanned to the side. We made less noise as possible since I’m clearing them with my katana. Bodies littered the ground each time I made a slash. The length of the katana is perfect since it’s a few inches longer than the zombie’s arms. I could make a straight thrust to their head but I would occasionally chop their arms off first in one swift motion then to the head when they are waving it around.
“Jared, go with Tatiana, Nicole, Jo and Dong to your school. Make a quick trip to your infirmary to gather some supplies and radio to me if you’re done. Be careful yeah? If you could go to the admin office, try to access their computers if you could find their records.” I instructed.
“Are you asking me to hack the computer? I can’t do that! I could remove the hard drives at least.” he said.
“Right, that’s good too. Grab as much as you can.” I replied.
“I could get inside the computer; I’ve been trained with that as well.” Tatiana said with nonchalance.
“Really? That’s good then. Take care of them yeah?” I said to Tatiana with a surprised expression.
“Of course. Protect everyone, correct?” she replied.
They broke off with us and then we headed to the academy.
“She knows how hack systems too huh? Is that a slip or did she deliberately said that to get a reaction from me? Well, it could really be part of her training.” I said to myself.
I gathered my team and we headed to the academy. It was a three-story building with white walls. The glass door from the front is still intact but we went for the back door that I picked to get inside which is next to a few metal containers refurbished to a small shade for people.
