We ended the call and I brought Kaley and Mikhail inside, We went room by room and Mikhail was carrying our burdens for us. Mikhail just had a sack held up and everything we were planning to put in our bags was taken by him.
”Don't worry, I can handle this work just fine.” Mikhail smiled at us.
”You're really strong, aren't you?” Kaley said, placing a few rolls of bandages on his sack.
”Well, I'm in the military, I'm supposed to be strong.” Mikhail replied.
”What we meant is that you're stronger than most people. You even picked up Vera with one hand last time.” I explained.
”Oh~ Is that so? Yeah, I guess I am. It's one of the few things I'm good at.” Mikhail chuckled.
”Let me ask you something, are you perhaps a machine gunner? No offense but I rarely see you let go of the trigger.” I said to him.
”Oh! Yes! Yes, I am one. Why do you ask?” Mikhail smiled for a moment.
”Well, if you don't mind, I'm gonna ask Oscar to lend you his PKM- ah!” Mikhail suddenly grabbed me and lifted me up.
”What the f.u.c.k?!” I shouted in my head.
Kaley was chuckling, watching me getting manhandled by the guy I knocked out before.
”HAHAHA! The Pulemyot Kalashnikova! My favorite! I have one when they brought us here but Artem made me leave it behind over that other place!” Mikhail was ecstatic.
”Well, put me down first!” I exclaimed, trying to get out of his grasp.
”Oh! Sorry, sorry! Okay, down you go.” Mikhail was smiling and it was a better smile compared to Nikolas' scary grin.
”It's a little different though, it's not full-auto, it's semi-auto...” I explained.
”What?” Mikhail was confused.
”It was made by MCM Firearms. They made only a few of those things and it is quite rare. Oscar got his hands on one of those and it works like a charm.” I replied.
”But...” Mikhail was a little disheartened.
”Okay Mikhail, let me explain to you a few things. Using a semi-auto is what's best for us right now. I didn't say much when you provided suppressive fire because that's what we needed at the time. However, on these deadheads, we need to conserve our ammo as much as possible. If you get used to it, you could fire faster and faster but not as fast as a full-auto obviously. To be honest with you, you're the one who spent a lot more ammo compared to everyone. I'm not telling you not to shoot them but I'm telling you to be more… surgical. Do you understand what I'm saying?” I explained.
”Okay, I understand. A PKM is still a PKM. I just need to finger it fast and hard, right?” Mikhail said with a straight face and I accidentally snorted.
”Yes, you need to finger it fast and hard… over and over… absolutely.” I was nodding my head with a huge grin while Kaley was already facepalming.
”Yes, so it could still fire fast, right? That's the key, finger it fast and hard, over and over, over and over.” Mikhail's smile was back on his face and his accent was slowly showing.
We continued looting the place and we found several valuable items. The number of medical supplies inside was enough to put a huge smile on Kaley and I's faces. We found a lot of bandages, cotton, rubbing alcohol, band-aids, gauzes, splints, gloves, masks, face shields, tongue depressors, blood infusion sets, catheters, syringes, needles, thermometers, and etc.
Most of them were inside the supply room and we also managed to get our hands on a defibrillator, nebulizer, an instrument sterilizer, and several oxygen tanks.
When we got to the little pharmacy inside, we got our hands on several bottles of antibiotics and pain relievers like ibuprofen and acetaminophen. There are also several dosages of anti-allergens, antihistamines, cough suppressants, and etc.
It took us a few trips and we placed everything we could put on the cargo space of the SUV and the three L300s used as ambulances. Our lookouts were piling bodies one after the other and we started burning them before I tried to reach Jay once more.

”Are you guys close?”

”We just passed the National High School of Arkong Bato.”

”You're about halfway then, it would only be a few minutes before you reach us. Just turn left when you reach the boutique, you'll see Jared and Lawrence over there.”

”Okay, we'll be there.”

It took maybe fifteen minutes before they reached the hospital and we saw Jay with Bing, Daisy, Jon, Michael, Russel, and two other soldiers. They drove near the hospital and we saw a few valuable items in their truck bed. Mikhail just gave an upwards nod to Russel and Bing when their eyes meet.
”I almost forgot that he's a part of their squad...” I thought to myself.
”Unc Zeidrick let you out, huh?” I said to Russel.
”Yep, I've been going out a few times already. Dad's been busy with Raphael and Anthony so he would just nod to everything I say.” Russel replied.
”Do you know what they're doing?” Kaley asked.
”Hmm? I don't know what's the other thing they're doing at Anthony's house but the other one I think is that they're making custom holsters. Raphael borrowed my guns and he said that he took its measurements. I'm not gonna change my guns' attachments anytime soon so they offered to make me one.” Russel replied.
”Oh, that's a great idea. I only have tactical holsters for my guns I always use and not for everything else. For the others, I only have leather cutouts that aren't as good as what we are using.” I replied.
”Yeah, they made a prototype for Ken's double-barrel. It actually fits nice and Ken's holster was more of a gun rack because they mounted it on the side of his wheelchair. They're still working on it because they want to place shell holders on it as well.” Russel explained.
