“You’ll see it soon enough when you reach the far end but still keep your eyes peeled. We’re gonna be checking each place again in case we missed anything dude.”

“Thanks dude. Just radio in if you see anything else dude.”

“Sure dude.”

I can see everyone following Tatiana’s orders in how to properly check each room in case there’s still a person inside. Checking for a zombie is easy as pie but for a living person it’s a different story. You’d need to pay a lot more attention not just to your surroundings but also yourself. The way you enter the kill zone, how you check the corners, how to make sure you’re not revealing yourself carelessly, and etc.
“Brian, make sure that when you creep in, that muzzle would not be already peeking inside since if they noticed that, they’d be already aware that you’re on the other side. Be aware of that and also watch out for your foot. It’s sticking out and I could easily shoot it. The moment you reveal yourself doing that I’m already in position to gun you down. Also…” Tatiana added a few more thing regarding CQB.
“We’re really gonna do that procedure to each and every room?” Brian asked.
“Correct. Each and every one. It’s for your safety and everyone else’s.” Tatiana replied.
“For you, I’ll do it. Anyway, after this, I’m thinking that you could teach me more of this you know… personally.” Brian said.
Kaley slightly elbowed me but I whispered to her, “I heard.”
“Oh, you’re not my type.” Tatiana bluntly said.
“Well, what’s your type then?” Carlo slid in.
“Oh, someone with a v.a.g.i.n.a. Well…” Tatiana stole a glance at me but she continued her sentence after that short pause. I felt Kaley was glaring at her so she stopped and I just shook my head.
“This is getting complicated.” I thought to myself.
“…nevermind. *chuckle*” Tatiana said after trailing.
“Hey, stop hitting on her and let’s finish the job here first. Don’t you remember that she’s with Rin? Be serious here for a moment.” Marvin chimed.
“Hah! Just making small talk. Well, what happened between you and Ashley? Hmm?” Brian grinned.
“Oh~ Details man!” Carlo got excited.
“Nothing! Nothing happened! Shut the f.u.c.k up and let’s finish what we’re doing here!” Marvin shouted.
“Hopeless! He’s hopeless!” Carlo was shaking his head.
“If you don’t like her give her to me! I’ll do much better.” Brian scoffs.
Marvin was shaking his head but Kaley and Tatiana performed disciplinary action. The two fell into the pavement clutching their nuts while muttering gibberish.
“We’re not here to bicker, we’re still not done here yet!” Kaley shouted at the two.
“No lollygagging!” I added with a smirk.
Brian turned around glaring at Kaley but he saw me looking at him with a devilish smile. He shrunk down while they both took a minute to jump up and down. Marvin and Mark continued to lead some of the group to continue on checking the other houses.
“The f.u.c.k are you two jumping now?” Tatiana asked.
“What? That’s what you do when you get your balls kicked! You won’t understand.” they simultaneously said.
Tatiana was confused but the rest we’re acting pretty normal.
“It’s a Filipino thing. It does nothing really but we just kept on doing it when that happens.” I told Tatiana.
She finally understood… I think… and we continued on checking the houses.
We found more bodies inside which belongs to the people originally living here in this larger house. It immediately ruined the mood we’re having earlier since it was a family where their dad took the lives of his kids and wife and finally killing himself. Instead of them suffering from the hands of the cult, they took their own when they still had the chance.
The family was covered by a white blanket where you could see a bloody hole where the gun was pointed and shot. The father was sitting on the couch still holding the revolver he used and there’s a spray of blood and brain matter on the wall next to him. However, a small figure in the blankets slowly moved in which I surmised that the shot didn’t kill the figure’s brain and must’ve missed somehow and the time passing made it turn. We didn’t let it get up and Tatiana threw her knife towards its head and it sunk back down.
The people I’m with was just having solemn expressions.
“What I decided on, letting the people here which are left, taking the brunt of the mob while we swoop in to take everything… is the reality now. That’s just the way it is. We can’t ta-” I was cut off by Kaley.
“We know, I know. You don’t have to keep on explaining your decisions to us. You can if you’re worried that we have different opinions but know I for one support you. Besides, the way they treated their people that used to be their friends warrants them to take responsibility or punishment for something, right? We have no judicial system anymore and that’s just leave us to decide for ourselves.” Kaley said.
“The people they’re with would eventually kill them. What’s the difference if we’re the ones to do it for them? Well the cult did but in the end, they would owe us a favor and a few other things, correct?” Tatiana chimed.
“Boss, like you always say, the world has gone to shit. I don’t know what to add to that because I think that already explains it. It’s not like that they were innocent.” Mark said.
“Hmm, that’s life’s greatest illusion. Innocence. Seems like I was worried for nothing, thanks.” I said while I approached the next room.
The owner of this place probably has been hiding their own supplies from their neighbors since this room has several boxes of different kinds of food. Dried pasta, rice, oats, canned beans, canned meat, canned vegetables, candies, a few MREs, and several gallons of water. There’s barely a dent in here and it confirmed my suspicions.
“This guy could be a prepper. Would I find more things here though?” I thought to myself.
I then told Tatiana and the rest to keep on searching the other houses since this one was already clear. Kaley and I remained in this house to search a few more things in case we find another stash like before. I thought it would take us a while but we already found a safe in their master bedroom hidden behind a cabinet. It was a safe with a 6-digit combination lock so I quickly went to check their pockets and other belongings.
I checked each drawer first and I found his wallet and phone. He also has a Sat Phone sitting by one of the nightstands so I placed it in my bag.
I started on fiddling on the phone and when I browsed through the calendar app, I approached the safe once more.
“You already found the password? That was quick.” Kaley asked.
“We’re not sure but I’m going for the obvious ones first. If this fails we could always force open the safe here by shooting the large bars that lock it off or just torching it.” I replied when I typed in their birthdays.

I was on the last date on the dates saved on the app and it was their anniversary. I made a small exhale first and slowly typed it in. Each button I press makes a small beep from the safe that is as large as the liberty safes I have at home.

“Yes!” Kaley celebrated.
The red light finally turned into green and I turned the knob of the safe.
Our eyes lit up and I can’t help but smile from happiness.
Aside from the stack of files from the top compartment and several jewelry and cash on the side, there are two AR-15s, one Benelli M2, and a Kimber 1911 on the safe. The AR-15s have different attachments from each other and one of them has a few engravings while the other has more wear on it. It wasn’t a lot of guns but there’re several ammo cans below. We found six cans of 5.56 ammo, four cans of 12-gauge shells, two cans of .38 Special, and four cans of .45 ACP with several magazines and a speed loader. I opened each can to make sure that they’re all filled to the brim but the weight simply told me that they are. The last can for the .45 ACP cartridges is missing a box but this is still a huge haul for a single house. What we’ve found here are .50 cal ammo cans and a single can of this full with 5.56 ammo would give us 1200 rounds worth! Multiply it by six and we have 7200 rounds all in all just for the 5.56 ammo!
“Jackpot! We could use this when we go back to the People’s Park.” I exclaimed.
“Hey, what’s that?” Kaley asked while pointing inside the safe.
“Hmm? Oh! This is…” I trailed.
