"I will be damned...There are two alive people on the rooftop!!" Matt mumbled, "Well there isn't any hostile near them and it's mid-August so the nights aren't that cold so they can stay there for the night, I am gonna sleep for now"
Speaking to himself till then, Matt returned back inside closing the balcony's transparent door behind him. Since he had already decided to deal with the rooftop girls tomorrow, he didn't think much about it and directly laid on the sofa and went to sleep.

The Next Morning
Around 5 O' clock Matt woke up all on his own, though he didn't sleep before 1:30 even a short nap of 2 to 3 hrs is enough for him and after staying in the apocalypse for so long he has a biological clock which doesn't allow him to sleep for long and Matt didn't have any complained about that.
After waking up he started to meditate and feel his spirit not wanting to only rely on his system to increase it Matt had decided to use Meditation as much as possible so that he could at least control it in a much more precise way than before.
Matt continued to meditate for the next 2 hrs straight and only stopped because many peoples have started to wake up so it wouldn't be possible for him to meditate any longer.
"Son, you should go freshen up. I will see if there is something to eat in the kitchen" said Maria.
"Yes, Mom I was going to do that!" Matt said as he went into the washroom attached to the living room since he knew that it won't be long where bathing every day wouldn't be possible he wasn't going to let go of the chance to clean himself.
15 minutes later when Matt came out of the washroom almost everyone has woken except the kids who were still tight asleep and were sitting in the living room.
"What are you all talking about?" asked Matt who had changed his clothes into more flexible ones while drying his head with his towel.
"Oh! Matt, we were just talking about the food supply. There are only noodles that can be said to like food. The beers, Nuts, and Ice cream can't be included in it so we are short on it." Paul stated.
"Yeah, I know about that but this is a hotel so they definitely have cold storage for storing a large amount of food, all we have to do is get in there kitchen find the food and bring it back here," Matt said.
"Yeah, you forgot to mention the zombies we will meet there!" Mike added.
"Ok then, we kill the zombies, get in their kitchen find the food and bring it back here" Matt stated.
Mike could only wryly shake his head at Matt's confidence, though he knew that Matt's confidence wasn't misplaced as he had seen with his own eyes, how Matt dealt with the 7 zombies in an enclosed space within seconds.
"Whatever you want to do? Do it after you have eaten this!" said Matt's mother Maria coming behind him and passing a cup noodle to Matt.
"Uh... OK," Matt said, though he already had food for everyone he wasn't going to distribute it just like that when there was another boatload of food laying around somewhere in the building.
After passing a cup to Matt, Maria distributed the rest to others and sat beside her husband to fill her stomach as well.
Matt finished the food within 5 minutes or so as he wanted to get to the cold storage of the hotel to store as much food as he could in his inventory.
Ethan and Mike also finished their cup noodles fast when they saw that Matt wasn't thinking about taking them along.
"Wait- wait we are coming as well," Mike said as he hurriedly stood up from his seat grabbing on to his fire axe he ran after Matt who was standing on the door closely followed by Ethan.
Seeing that the two of them still wanted to follow him, Matt didn't stop them opened the door.
"Wait, take me as well. If there are more hands to pick " said Wade, Rose's father.
"You don't have any weapon so it will be hard for you to save yourself when you meet a zombie" Matt stated.
"Yeah, but I have this!" Wade said as took out a Glock 17 from his pocket, "With this, I can protect myself and even you guys"
Matt saw the Glock 17 and all the knowledge that he had about the gun came to his mind. The Glock 17 is a 9 mm short recoil-operated, locked-breech semi-automatic pistol that uses a modified Browning cam-lock system adapted from the Hi-Power pistol. The firearm's locking mechanism uses a linkless, vertically tilting barrel with a rectangular breech that locks into the ejection port cut-out in the slide.
During the recoil stroke, the barrel moves rearward initially locked together with the slide about 3 mm (0.12 in) until the bullet leaves the barrel and chamber pressure drops to a safe level. A ramped lug extension at the base of the barrel then interacts with a tapered locking block integrated into the frame, forcing the barrel down and unlocking it from the slide. This camming action terminates the barrel's movement while the slide continues back under recoil, extracting and ejecting the spent cartridge casing. The slide's uninterrupted rearward movement and counter-recoil cycle are characteristic of the Browning system.
It was a nice gun in Matt's perspective but he didn't know how the man in front of him got his hands on one.
"Don't look at me like that! I retired early from the military but I still have some connections so I have got this gun legally OK" Wade said when he saw Ethan and Matt looking at him with suspicion.
Ethan, he understood as a part of the Military even in tech support he must know about the gun but Wade didn't think that even Matt would know about it.
"Even still we can't take you. The noise made from Glock 17 is heavy enough that it could attract more zombies which will be disastrous for us." Matt stated.
"But-"
"No, I am sorry but we can't take you...
