Ferdinand sauntered back and forth through the area as he wasn't able to get a hold of materials that he needs that is used to mine minerals and coal so he would have to rely on his soldiers pickaxes in mining the materials required as he still have 10 meters of cubic space in his inventory there's a lot of materials he could take to the base so his current or leftover duty for him to do is to watch and guard his soldiers while they are mining for resources.
Another lucky thing is that they won't have to worry about starting a fire as when the soldiers are summoned, they also have a lighter with them when the soldiers were summoned. Unfortunately for Ferdinand, the only thing he can summon are weapons for personal use, and perishables such as first aid kit and some other miscellaneous stuff like food that can be distributed among his soldiers. Though the soldiers that he summoned also have first aid kits, he guessed that it's just in case. He needs to establish a working base as soon as possible with different soldiers or groups having to gather resources so he could achieve self-sufficiency so that they won't have to rely on his system for medical purposes and for foods.
Ferdinand was watching the skies while patrolling the area around the resource point when he suddenly heard a crunching sound on a bush a few meters beside him. He carefully sauntered towards the point of interest. Peeking at a nearby tree there he saw a soldier donning an armor being eaten alive by a walker. It seemed like that the walker was a mutant one as it was eating through the metal armor, which makes a crunching sound when being eaten by the walker. The soldier looked at Ferdinand, filled with helplessness.
Noticing something off, the mutant walker looked at its back and saw Ferdinand peeking through a tree to which it got agitated and screamed its lungs off as high as the heavens can hear. Coincidentally, this also alerted Waylen and Simpson, and so they both dashed off in the direction where they heard the scream. While Waylen and Simpson were dashing towards their commander. The mutant walker jumped off the body of the man wearing an armor and headed for Ferdinand.
Ferdinand summoned his knife and got into battle position. When the mutant walker was closing in, he immediately slashed forward, which the mutant walker dodged to its finest abilities. This time the mutant walker counter attacked which the mutant walker made a strike sideways, which Ferdinand was able to dodge with difficulty. It seemed like that what has happened these past few hours was already taking a toll on his mental ability as he hadn't rested yet for more than a day.
Ferdinand was already stumbling his head up and down while he dodged from left to right from the attacks of the mutant walker. He was then unable to return a counterattack towards the mutant walker. He just had to wait for a few more seconds and his soldiers would be able to rescue him from his predicament. Unfortunately for him, he then suddenly stumbled down backwards as he didn't see a root of a tree at the top of the soil to which made him stumbled.
Fortunately for Ferdinand, he was able to still dodged the multiple attack of the mutant walker and could counter some of them while he was down. It seemed like that the fact that he stumbled down made him awake a bit, which would be a saving grace as Waylen and Simpson were already closing in. The mutant walker wasn't able to notice the soldiers coming towards it and so when it noticed them, it was already too late. Both Waylen and Simpson slashed down the neck of the walker, which killed it in an instant.

Ferdinand then heaved a sigh as his soldier helped him get up from his seat. The counter on the walkers too was raised up, so that means that a mutant walker counts as a walker too or a normal one. Multiple questions then barraged him by his men as to why he hadn't quite rested yet and yet he went to investigate for the sound. They told him that he should have just called them to investigate, as he needs a proper rest. Before even more questions barraged him, he pointed at the bush and asked them to investigate it now.
They looked at the point of interest and they were in fact shocked that there commander weren't just some action hungry commander.
