Chapter 22 - The Test

One night, Mica was walking around the bunker when she saw a light coming from the library. She was surprised to find Twilight there, reading books. "So the famous Twilight actually reads books?" Mica asked. "Well, my knowledge is limited, and to be useful to our leader, I need to learn new things," Twilight replied. Mica sat down near Twilight and asked, "But why do we need to follow him? He's just a kid." "A simple kid cannot just order you around, can he?" Twilight pointed out. Mica just clicked her tongue in frustration and left.

The next morning, the group started their usual routine of training hard. Today was the day they would put their improvements to the test with a mission to loot a hospital overrun by thousands of zombies. Richard and his mercenaries were on standby in case of failure. Mica led the mission.

To lure the zombies away from the hospital, they used grenades. But not all the zombies were lured away, so Marie's group of five people were tasked with firing guns and driving a car to distract the remaining zombies. They had already scouted out the area and planned their escape route. Once the zombies were lured away, Mica divided her group into two. Lily led half of the group to loot the hospital while Mica and her group killed any zombies that tried to get inside.

Inside the hospital, Lily found that it looked abandoned, with smashed windows, barricaded doors, and signs of struggle throughout the building. It was quiet inside as the zombies had been drawn away by Marie's group. However, when Lily shot the ceiling, hidden zombies appeared and they had to fight to clear them out. They managed to loot the hospital of valuable medical supplies, equipment, and tools that could be useful.

After an hour, Mica ordered half of her group to assist Lily's group as they didn't have much trouble outside. They left with trucks full of loot. Souta, who had observed their strategy, was impressed with the results, especially with their decision to leave no survivors. The group returned to their bunker with their valuable loot
