"Now let's pick a room! Shall we" Matt said as he looked at the door of the two VVIP rooms.
"Which one you think we should take?" asked Mike
"Well, I am more inclined towards the room in the right as it's close to the emergency staircase where the chances of us meeting zombies are much less than the regular staircase" Matt stated.
"Yeah, but we will have to check the emergency staircase for that won't we!" Ethan asked the reason was simple, he was dead tired and hadn't slept for 14 hrs straight. After getting called by Brigadier General Richards, Ethan has been awake the whole time at first it was only his mind that was exhausted due to continuous hacking then after killing these zombies he had also lost all of his strength as well.
"Yeah, but we don't have to do it now. It's already quite late and I know the two of you must be exhausted, especially you Ethan must have been hard for you to keep up with that idiot general of yours. So let's check the room and then we can bring others as well" Matt said hearing which the two of them sighed in relief and followed Matt.
Matt used the master card to open the heavy doors of VVIP Room 1, one of the reasons for Matt choosing the VVIP room was because of its door. It's really heavy and can't be easily broken by even a zombie hoard.
Entering the room a gasp came out from Mike and Ethan's mouth, the living hall was huge, it had 4 sofas big enough to fit for 4 people of almost 6 feet, along with attached kitchen to the right which was full of supplies including a small box of cashew nuts, groundnut, Almond, etc, all on wait sensors which if removed from it place for more then 30 seconds will be included in the bill. But's since the apocalypse had started it was not like they were gonna pay or anyone was gonna ask them. The fridge was full of beers, water supplies, and even ice creams.
The room even had a swimming pool, right beside the balcony, though Matt wouldn't call it a swimming pool as it was only 3 meters long and 2 meters wide, it was at most a giant bathtub to him, there were many other things he liked. Especially the 5 giant bedrooms and one small room which even though wasn't enough for all of them but was much better then what they had earlier.
The three of them checked the room to make sure if there wasn't any zombie there or if anyone alive wasn't hiding somewhere. Though they didn't find anyone they did find bags of clothes in two rooms filled with women's clothes and cosmetics allowing them to understand that it was occupied by two females though they didn't know where they were and at this time they didn't care.
"Everything looks good let's use the elevator and bring everyone at once. The two of you stay here and I will bring everyone" Matt stated and the two of them didn't have any problems with it.
Matt used the elevator to get back to the 6 th floor and started rounding up everyone to get ready and start getting out of there. The first ones to go were obviously women, carrying the kids. Mary carried Suzy, Maria carried Chris, Sarah carried Angel, Pamela holding Joshua with Susan's help. Of course, the lift was big enough to fit everybody in it but then it would be packed and Matt didn't know if there were any zombies in 7th and 8th floor and if by their bad luck a zombie's face or any part of the body crashed with the elevator buttons then Matt wouldn't be able to maneuver himself in a packed elevator so he just decided to take everyone in two parts.
After getting most of the women and kids on 10th floor he left Mike and Ethan to bring them to the room and went back to pick up the rest and also pick up his Grizzly Bear who was now soundly sleeping in the corner in his inventory to let that guy sleep on the 10th floor. After getting back on the 10th floor when everyone entered the room Matt once again took out his grizzly bear and let him sleep not far from their room. If Matt had let him stay in his inventory then when he took him out again he would still be sleep as his inventory keep everything in stasis causing a great deal of trouble for Matt.
Letting the Grizzly Bear sleep in the hallway on the 10 th floor Matt got back in the VVIP Room 1 and saw everyone was sitting in the living room except for the kids who most likely have been put to the beds by the girls.
"There is nothing else left to do, for now, so let's just go to sleep everyone is dead tired," Matt said and everyone nodded there head and started to talk about sleeping arrangements.
Matt, Ethan, Mike, and Paul had volunteered to sleep in the living room making it easy for the others. The 3 Elder couples took a room each leaving 2 large bedrooms for the remaining 5 girls. Mary decided to sleep with Pamela and help her through the night if she has any problems leaving Sarah, Susan, and Rose to share one bedroom.
After everyone went to their own rooms, Matt looked at Ethan and contemplated whether he should give Ethan a piece of black bears meat or not. He knew that Ethan was much more exhausted then Mike was when he gained his ability so the chances of him gaining an ability were almost above 90%. But the problem was he couldn't trust Ethan right now as currently he was with them only because of the conditions that put him with them and he didn't know whether he would leave them when he got the chance and if he waited to check his credibility he may not get such a chance.
"Man this is a dilemma!"
