Chapter 5 - Team Selection

At 11 am

"As you all I am going to select the team members regardless whether you like it or not. The team members are Ralph Woods, Leonard Brown, Stanley Gray, Justin Thompson, Marcus Jenkins, Eric Williams, Zack Reed, Vincent Robinson, Robert Davis, Alan White, Lucas Evans, Sebastian Hunt, Charlie Edwards, Molly Reyes, Evelyn Marshall, Ruby Carter, Lily Richardson, Annabelle Green, Victoria Palmer and Me, Axel Adairs. This will be the team. These students should follow me after I dismiss you all. I hope I am clear. Don't worry, after the first few missions I will make more batches. Anyway all of you are now dismissed."

The students followed me as I walked to an empty classroom. I sat in the teacher's seat and students sat in their respective seats.

After sitting there for a few minutes. I asked the students to ask their doubts. Lucas then asked me confused "Why did you choose me?" I replied calmly "You are good at chess and games which revolve around strategy so I will train you these three days to make these strategies work in real life and show you which strategy you should use in almost every scenario."

Evelyn then asked me politely "Why did you choose me then? I am not good at things that can help you, Mr Adair.

I replied "Well you are good at camping and hunting. You will use the same traps for zombies. This is why I chose you and Sebastian Hunt.

If you all confused about your roles I will list them out for you

Timeskip

For two days I ruthlessly trained them. For attackers and defenders I made them do exercises and helped them increase their stamina.

For strategist, I made them play chess and others games at each other. The winner have to fight against me in chess. The loser have to fight against me in chess until they win. If the person defeat me they will join the others in training. On the first day by 3pm they both defeated me and started doing the exercise. On the second day, they both defeated me by 1pm.

For Trap Makers, as you expect they both have to make 30 traps in an hour. After doing that, they have to do exercises.

For the all rounders they do the exercises and makes 10 traps in an hour and do weight training.

For Transports they have to do weight training and running while carrying weights.

For the Lab helpers, I made one study biology and the other chemistry.

Last the voice captain I trained him in making sure he can keep the team from quarreling and help the team be strong without me and ofcourse made him do the exercises.

I also made sure they all knew how to throw a knife perfectly while doing almost everything.

I also did the exercises with weights on me to motivate them.

The last I gave them a rest day and made sure they prepared for the first mission.

I also made them capture rats and stored them in the lab.

The night was nearing as I was thinking how to do this mission. I brushed my teeth and slept peacefully.

The next day I did the same morning routine. I called the team and prepared them for for killing zombies. These three day they have all bonded with each other nicely. I hope I won't lose any of them during the first mission as that will cause instability in the team. I will protect them as much as I can.

After eating lunch I called our team strategist Lucas and Molly for discussing what strategies we should work with today. "So what will be today's mission plan?". I asked. "Well me and Lucas discussed for hours and came up this plan. We go out today night and walk out the mountain. I am sure zombies won't be there so we will safely walk out of the mountain to the digital appliance store nearby. Take the equipments and the transporters will transport them. They will go with 1 attacker and defender and both all rounders. Next we will go to your lab and find clues to this virus. I am sure we will meet a zombie or two if we haven't till. Then we will kill them and take one body. One attacker and defender and two strategists will then go and transport them. Then the remaining people will loot supermarkets, houses for food and water and return them."

"The only problem with this plan is that we have no information about zombies other than they can see very well and can't hear that well. There is chance there are multiple types of zombies. So we have to be careful with is plan. After getting further information about zombies, we will be able to make better plans." Lucas said.

I then made a few minor changes with plan as placing traps when we are coming back to school and trying to find survivors.

I then called the team and discussed the plan. We had some arguments but after some time, they all were happy with the plan.

As night falled, we took our weapons and looked at the gate.ooking back at the school, one last time seeing both teachers and students wave. As I took a deep breath and left the school.
