Chapter 30: Alert
[Alert!]
*Phew*
Merlin had almost finished clearing the class 1 zombie wave. Although he was frowning even more due to the fact that he had found 3 semi-intelligent zombies, along with 7 zombies with hardening bones and collapsing organs.
This meant that not only were a handful of zombies specialising, but a lot of them were. Merlin had estimated that it would take around a week or two at best for the first fully specialised zombie to appear. This would change a lot of things and would makes things incredibly difficult for humans to survive, because the non-players would only have around a week to level up at least once, in order to be able to fight with these specialised zombies.
But he couldn't worry about that anymore. He needed to completely finish off this wave and then needed to check out how his subordinates were doing.
*PEW**PEW*
Suddenly, Merlin heard a noise he thought he would have never heard before. It was the familiar sound of guns firing with the almighty suppressors on them.
During the apocalypse, everyone began using suppressors on guns, because normal guns would imply create so much noise that all the zombies in the surrounding area would rush over.
Turning around, he saw a 12 man team, consisting of 6 melee units with riot shields, 4 assault rifle officers, and 2 hand-gun officers for close combat firing. And the best part was not the strategy they were using, that was no doubt very well thought out, but it actually was that every man was using suppressors on their guns.
A satisfied smile spread across Merlin's bloody face, creating an eerie image, and causing the officers to flinch slightly.
"Sir! Here to report! We are here to provide support against the zombies!"
"Ok. Terminate with extreme prejudice!"
"Yes Sir!"
With this, the dozen strong team was off to slaughter, while Merlin walked up to James.
"Are you alright?"
"Y- Yes Sir!"
"Good… then get you're a*s up and move it!"
"Yes SIR!"
James instantly rocketed onto his feet and began to follow Merlin towards the direction from where the soldiers had some.
Merlin had enhanced his eyes to see further away, and had spotted Sean and the other 4 team leader waiting outside for him.
This infuriated him to an incredible extend, and he pushed back slightly, held James in his right arm and charged towards the group.
Seeing Merlin's expression as he ran towards them at an astonishing speed, everyone's faces were drained of colour as they all instinctively moved back a few steps.
But it was too late, as Merlin had covered a distance of around 50 meters in an instant.
"What the f*ck do you think you are doing out here?!!!"
"We-"
"Zip it! You f*cktards think that standing outside you home-base to welcome me like a housewife? Who do you think I am? Who is going to protect the base?"
"Sir-"
"I said ZIP IT! I'm not done! There has to be at least 2 whole teams, and 2 team leaders continuously patrolling and guarding the base at all times! And there has to be at least 1 more team on standby! Do you understand?!"
"Yes Sir!"
"Good! If I see something like this for anyone, even if it is a god, I will personally tear them apart and feed them to zombies, before tearing apart those zombies once more!"
"…"
"And you, hmm, what was you name? Chief was it?"
"Please call me Max, Sir!"
"Alright. Max it is. Your team is considered 2 teams. I need you to split them into two, and assign two leaders for each. Send those two to my room after 20 minutes. Also, you need to get ready for a trip. We will be leaving after nightfall, at 2100 hrs."
"Yes sir"
"The rest of you fools! Get back to work! I will be leaving soon, but before that, I will be clearing 2 floors of the building, which will make up our living quarters for now. I will then pick a room, and make sure the two leaders in Max's group find me. When I leave, I will be taking Max with me, so those two leaders will work with you all. By the time I come back, I want at least 2 more floors cleared. Got it? GO!"
Not waiting for their reply, Merlin walked into the building, and went straight to the first floor to clear the zombies there.
It should be known that the Colossus had around 120 floors. The first 50 floors were residential areas for people who wish to live there. The next 50 floors were a hotel, and the top 20 floors were for commercial use by businesses for offices.
He swiftly cleared the 2 floors clean of any zombies and found a room for himself, before opening the system alert that had opened up during his clearing of the class 1 zombie wave.
