34 Preparing for the Operatioin (1/2)

”Alright, just for the mother's sake we'll give Lachlan plenty of armour for protection,” Adam(J) said.

”Head out”.

Everyone walked down to the facilities, specifically the armoury. And although it didn't have much stuff, there was enough to gear up Lachlan. It seemed to be on a large oval connected to the school, so it was fairly large.

Adam(J) handed him an earpiece, ”Put this on, it's a tracker and communicator. Should anything go wrong you'll be able to call for reinforcements”.

Lachlan nodded and equipped it. He looked at the range of firearms. Although they might not do damage to the bigger beast, it should be enough for a last resort.

Looking at all the firearms made it hard for Lachlan to decide on just one. After all, they all had their purposes. LMGs could be used against hordes should he be swarmed, but shotguns could be used for one on one and do a lot of damage. There was also snipers and rifles, but they didn't suit his combat style.

He decided on a shotgun, looking at all the shotguns and names he only knew about two types. Double barrel, and MF (Magazine Fed). Looking at them he decided on choosing a shotgun called the Pardus LAX 12, Lachlan thought he might look call wielding it.

Standing on a battlefield with a shotgun in hand, to be honest, he really could just use one hand to handle it. He decided not to take two just because that seemed a bit impractical to him and instead chose a handgun and combat knife.

The handgun was a Desert Eagle, while the knife was a Gerber Silver Trident, something he's never heard of before but thought it looked cool.

He put on some gear, most of which didn't properly fit him, so he just left it off. Luckily, the belt fit him alright, so he can put the handgun and knife there. Because the clothes didn't fit him he just asked for some plain black clothes.

Walking out of the armour the soldiers and superiors were a bit surprised by the boys choice of weapons, as most of them were much more difficult to use, compared to many other guns anyway. Chloe was a bit confused as to why he wasn't wearing any proper protection.

”What about your armour?” Chloe asked.

”Didn't fit properly, don't worry, my bodies strong enough to handle it on my own,” Lachlan explained.

”Are you sure you want to use those weapons?” Adam(J) asked.

Lachlan nodded and Adam(J) sighed, unsure what the boy's thoughts were when choosing his weapons. Adam(J) shrugged it off as a boys desire to look cool, as he himself couldn't deny that's what he wanted when he was younger.

Looking at his phone, Adam(J) saw the time was 6:00, there was still roughly 1 – 2 hours before it went dark.

”Alright, I suppose you guys haven't eaten some good food in a while. Come, follow me to our ”canteen,” Adam(J) said.

The rest of the superiors nodded and began walking back towards the building.

When they reached their destination they looked around and saw a lot of other people gathered there. All of them eating some food.

Walking up to where they served food they noticed a menu.

'Curry and Rice'

'Chicken Noodle Soup'

'Salad'

'Spaghetti'

Next to the food menu was an array of drinks, most of which they didn't care about.

Underneath the names were all the ingredients, some of which made the group drool. It had been a while since they had some good meat or vegetables. So far along the journey, they've been relying on snacks, things like chips and biscuits.
