Jun placed his hand on Carlos' body with the intent of absorbing some free stats. Unexpectedly, he received the 'looting' notification. He was confused on why this happened. When he placed his hand on Jake's body he absorbed some of his stats, but when he did the same thing to Carlos' body, the result changed! Thinking hard, the only difference between the two was one was bitten and the other was not. Was that the reason? Jun decided to ignore the matter for now. He glanced at Adrian leaning on the wall. ”Are you done? We're leaving.”, he said then took the military knife from Adrian's hand. He gave him his baseball bat, and the knife to Sheila. Jun looked around and found a coat rack beside the door. The coat rack was made from cast iron and had a simplistic design. It's height almost reaching up to two meters. There were four hooks on its top, spreading in four different directions. He took the coat rack and was instantly surprised. He was holding a two meter iron coat rack, but the feeling it gave him was as if he was holding onto a tree branch. As if he was using a spear, he practiced swinging left and right, testing the range of his new weapon. He made a diagonal slash, brought it up and finished with a simple stab. 'It's really light!'

When he was finally satisfied on how he handled the coat rack, he opened the door. ”Let's go.”

There are four infected hitting the gate. There's only 40% remaining on the gates durability bar. Jun strode forward with no hesitation. Using the coat rack, he stabbed the infected's knee joints through the gaps on the metal fence. He used the same technique on each of the infected making them unable to stand due to their knees inability to hold their weight. Every stab he made was precise and powerful. When all of the infected fell down and could only growl at them. He opened the gates and went outside. He hurriedly stabbed the joints in their shoulders then whispered authoritatively. ”Kill them, be sure to go for the head. Both of you get two each. Hurry up! We don't know how fast they can recover!”, Jun said anxiously. He noticed that the horde of infected who was 50 meters away when he first entered the clinic had come closer and were approximately 30-40 meters away. He then chose to guard the perimeter outside the gate, so the two behind him can focus on the task.

Adrian and Sheila followed his orders without questions. Adrian swiftly stabbed the military knife on the forehead of an infected that was nearest to him. When it stopped moving he then looted it's body. He had been observing Jun's action starting from when they first met at the bank. And since he already know that an infected's body who didn't get looted can reanimate once again, he chose to first loot the body while being cautious of the other infected next to him.

Jun can see that Adrian has already began to adapt and his plan to make them reach level one seemed achievable. That hope vanished when he turned to the side and saw Sheila standing idly near an infected. She was trembling while hugging the bat close to her body. She raised it forward and smashed down on the infected's head. Due to her force not being strong enough, it only caused the head to cave-in but the infected didn't die. The infected who got bashed in the head started snarling loudly causing the group of infected to notice them.
