Chapter 13 - New hierarchy

Kalel went to sleep and didn't help to take a turn watching the place, the civilians, it is how he thought about non combatant people could assume this task, the warriors needed as much rest as possible, their stamina was getting depleted to fast while they were moving and fighting. It is why he gave the order to all the players to only increase their stamina for the time being.

He woke up at 6 am before just before the sun raised. He left his space pocket, went to the washroom before looking for Joan. Joan was the real person in charge of logistics and was the second in command. Thierry was in charge of the civilians, Kevin as the second player with the highest level was in charge of the warriors. Nalya became their nurse and Guillaume, the retired military man helped them by studying the monsters and creating new strategies to face them.

They all ate together at the cafeteria and discussed the itinerary they will be taking. Bernard was also there, Thierry thought by including him, they will have an easier time to work together with the group who joined them. Joan spoke first :

" We are now less than 4 km away from the safe zone, by listening to the radio and talking to the rest of the survivors, we learned that there were groups of monsters next to the bridge which protect the entry to the safe. They are around 1000O monsters mostly goblins lead by Ogres. The military advised people not to come by while they were trying to open a path for the civilians. "

Guillaume intervened while spreading a map on the table.

" Moreover, we don't have any other way to get into the safe zone except making a detour which we will add a at least one week because of the monster threat and we don't know how many we will face on the way. Even with the supplies we have, we can at most sustain our people for the next month, some of them have conditions and need special medicine, we are in a dire situation."

Everyone took some time to think about their situation. Kalel then spoke out after studying more in details the map.

" We won't make a detour, I don't want to lose more people to the monsters, we should go to the police station, take the weapons and materials there. We will then move to the Bernadice private clinic where we will secure the place and make it our new base. We will salvage the surrounding and wait for the military to do their job. In the meantime, we will slowly kill the goblins groups surrounding our location, it will allow us to level up. I think it is the better plan. Thierry and Jon go warn everyone, those that want to leave us are allowed. We will not give them any supplies. We will leave in 30 minutes. Only the elderly, children and sick people can travel inside my space, it is big enough for 60 people max." He annonced after some time.

They agreed with the plan and went to prepare the necessary things hey needed. Kalel spent his time with Guillaume trying to create strategies on how to face monsters with his ability, they made some progress, kalel wanted to continue this discussion but everyone was ready, he opened his space to let the people get inside.

They then went outside in the court. Behind Kalel you could 40 warriors, players or not armed with different weapons and 200 civilians, mostly middle-aged men and women who were regretting not to be sick enough to travel using the space pocket ability. These people were at least useful because they carried some supplies like water, Gaz cylinders, bags of rice or furniture. Some even used bikes to carry more stuffs. They all had at least a knife to protect themselves. Fear and a kind of stubborn determination was the only emotions you could feel from them.

They left the Highschool ground at 7'30 am in direction of the north-east where the nearest police station was.
