Chapter 281 - Roof - Smoke (1/2)

The moment that pill flew in the air after I said something funny, I then had a mental breakdown.

”Wait, wait, wait, that's a pill that could relieve pain and I'm just flicking it for what? Comedy? Coolness? Wait, it's neither of the two… IT'S STUPIDITY!!! Hold on, I think it's cool doing that though- wait. It's funny too but still it's f.u.c.k.i.n.g stupid. IT'S A WASTE!!! Can I still catch it? I think I could. The moment I stop thinking I'll jab it after I lean over so I'll catch it after it starts to go down. Yes, yes, that would be the best. I'll...” I thought to myself as I watched the pill fly.

My shoulder already moved for my jab but unfortunately, I felt a hand on top of it and they turned me around to face them.

It was f.u.c.k.i.n.g Mando.

”Sir… respect!” He looked amazed at what I did and he's giving me a thumbs up.

”THE PILL!” I shouted as I quickly turned around to try to save it.

*plop*

It fell right in the middle of the bloody figure's cracked head. The impact it made when it dived head first violently divided its head from the top up until its soul patch. There's a few pieces of its skull that's getting mixed in with the discolored bits and pieces of its head that's making a viscous pool that is slowly flowing out. It's like you mixed rotting sticky oysters with blackened fish guts together. I'm tempted to pick it up and wash it but it is really too late to save it from its predicament. I was watching it for a few seconds and I almost performed the 21-gun salute.

For once I paid dearly from simply showing off.

”S-sir?!” Mando is almost shaking from the violent aura I'm emanating.

”What happened?” Kaley walked up to us.

I explained what happened and she just told everyone to come inside the hospital to where the generators are after shaking her head.

”Okay, enough fooling around. Let's be more careful this time and be ready in case those types are hidden and waiting for their would-be victims again.” I said as I took the lead.

”You're the only one fooling around...” Kaley muttered.

”Well we're pretty safe outside.” I replied and she just glared at me.

The door to where the generators are located is still locked so I employed some good ol' lockpicking. It's like I am in possession of the Skeleton Key since it was easily opened. Well, the doorknob is already loose and simply sticking a knife to the side and pushing against it would open it too but I don't want to tell my group that because of various reasons.

It was dark inside and we shone our flashlights around. The inside is secure and no one has been inside this place ever since it started. We found out that there's still gas pumped inside it and we only have to turn it on since it didn't automatically kick in when the power went out.

It started to make a loud grumble and we went outside after closing the door towards the generator while leaving the dented door of the fire exit open. We could see from the outside that some of the lights around the hospital had turned on. You'd need to be focusing on it to notice it since the sun is still up though we need to turn that off at night to avoid unwanted attention.

”Let's wait a few to see if more would still come. After that, we'd run around the perimeter a few times to take care of the stragglers that are isolated. There would be people later to come to the upper floors later to clear double-check places that might have doors or areas that are closed off. We need to check those places because they might contain more of them that were not able to get out.” I said to the group.

”We'd still be looting this place after, correct?” Tatiana asked.

”Actually... let's just take things from the rooms where the confined patients are or from the lockers of the medical staff. Let's leave all the supplies here that could still be used since some of us are gonna spend the night here after we're done.” I replied.
