Chapter 127 - Day 11 - Reports (2/2)

We parked the trucks inside though I took the guns from the truck which I just covered by a blanket from the supermarket. All of the pistols are in my pack but the shotguns and the rifles are covered neatly by the blanket. The shotguns are Mossberg 500s and a Maverick 88 while the rifle is a Ruger 10/22. An M4 was found by Oscar inside the glass office as well along with a couple of assorted handguns though most of them are Hi-Points and a couple of Glocks and Taurus's.

I brought them inside my armory as Kaley and I cleaned ourselves and headed to our bed for a short rest.

As soon as my head touched the pillow, I was already asleep. I just woke up while Kaley is hugging me from the side. I just stared at her sleeping face for a moment before I got dressed and headed down. Surprisingly, the contents of the trucks that we brought are now empty and I looked at the people at the catwalk. Lois, Mark and Bing are just chatting normally while I started on approaching them. I looked at my watch and it's 5:52 AM.

”Boss, Arnel said that you guys went out yesterday?” Mark asked.

”Yeah.” I replied.

”With bro?” Lois asked.

”Yeah.” I replied.

”Where?” Bing chimed.

”Let's talk about it later after we eat. Anything happened when we're gone?” I said.

”Not much. Just Matthew constantly checking if you guys are back yet.” Lois said.

I looked back and I saw the kids that are staying in the compound approaching us. Aya, Izzy, Cleo, Kimmy, Kenny, and James.

”TIME TO EAT~!” They all shouted.

”Sure, thanks!” I replied with a smile.

”When did that happen?” I asked the three.

”I dunno. First time they did it.” Lois said.

When we headed to the pool area, I could already smell the food. My mouth watered and my stomach grumbled. Kaley caught up although still yawning and jabbed me in the shoulder as we took our seat. We had fried rice mixed with chopped vegetables and scrambled eggs and you could smell the fragrant scent of the toasted garlic on top of it with green onions. The viand is sliced meatloaf which is fried until it was crispy with a side of miso soup. There's also a thermos pot on the side with hot chocolate and coffee.

We ate merrily and we cleared the table for our morning meeting.

”Alright, let's start the meeting now. Report?” I said.

”I'll go first.” Ken said.

”I've browsed through the files you gave me and I made digital copies of the files from the academy though it's only scanned copies for now. There's a few dozen from that file that matched with the files from the camp. They're a mix of trainees and officers. The drive from the school also matched a few that are in the camp as well and there are a lot of students and a couple of teachers inside.” Ken said.

”Wait. You said before that some of the people before went outside as well, right?” I asked.

”Yeah, why?” he replied.

”Is there an indication on the file from the camp whether they are still on the camp or not?” I asked.

”Oh! Sorry but there is no indication whatsoever. Just a long list of names and their profiles.” Ken said.

”I see, they should have done something like that. It's gonna be a headache if we managed to pick from this list but they're already missing. Anyway, thanks man. Project Fishing will be carried later on.” I said.

”Anytime, the server I will be making could probably extend up to Andrew's house. If you got the hardware I'm looking for, I could extend it up to the canal system. It's just a few repeaters that we need.” He replied.

”Yeah, we'll get to that. The closest shop that could have those is at SM Marilao. Though I would like it if we use cables so that no one would accidentally pick up on our signal. The mobile networks don't work anymore but people still have their phones on their person like me. It will be a risk if someone picked up on us.” I said.

”Oh, that's right. Where is SM Marilao? Is that the only place to get what we need?” Ken asked.

”It's a huge mall at the Bulacan area but probably dangerous. There are small shops around also but we never could be too sure if they have those around. That place is just the safest bet to have it but one of the most dangerous places to look at. There could probably in one of the houses here but I don't know where exactly they are. I can't know where something is if I haven't seen it yet.” I replied.

”I just have good memory, I'm not a seer.” I said to myself.

”That's fine. This thing is not in a rush so just get them when you can. However, if you could find more drones and other electronic devices, I'd appreciate it.” Ken replied.

”Sure man. I'd keep a lookout.” I said.

”E-Cigs too!” Ken added.

”Sure... though I'll prioritize the essentials yeah?” I said while shaking my head.

”Hah! Just kidding! That's too much! You're too kind!” he replied.

”Jay, how did the cleanup go?” I asked.
