hruday asked Hector if he was resting, to which Hector blatantly replied, I won't start making it till 8 He convinced him to guide them to Hector, who agreed to come at 7
hruday little disappointed, he went around calling people to be at the carpenter production house at 6:30 and after that, he went near Sophia, asking if they had brought lasers lights from the electronic store, sighing She took him to the storage section
he looked at small pen lasers and big decorative Christmas laser lights, and he said we will use this as communication.
what do you think? she replied that it was good but how will I communicate if one part needs assistance?
hruday started explaining that each team would get 2 lasers red and green, and she would communicate through red lasers only to warn them and green to request assistance
they would request it by flashing green and red at the same time or red laser signaling.
hruday and Sophia discussed and brainstormed ideas on how to make carts and other things that they might need, emergency measures and backup plans if they find out the workshop is filled with zombies and other scenarios, and what kind of knots were better as he had Pinterest pictures downloaded that had all kinds of guide to making powerful knots
then hruday stopped it as it was going to take a long time to discuss and discussing this with more people was more productive, ending their conversation
hruday walked towards the cart production house, thinking he shouldn't go around the storage room too much or it might start roomers
he went inside People were sitting and standing waiting for him to arrive He brainstormed ideas with existing vivid ideas, then hector arrived and showed his skills, guiding them properly With a total of 8 people working, they had completed making 6 proper carts and some weapons that were half-formed due to mistake and miscalculation
with a small break for dinner, they resumed their work
they got more help as people who were helping to cook came but Hector just told them to cut furniture and make light shields using plywood and sharp metal pieces After getting the hang of this, people were able to do it faster
they all stopped at 11:45 after completing 1 big wall shield and 4 light weighted shields for extra barricading This was one of the emergency measures that hruday had come up with, along with tons of arrows and bows
everyone went to sleep exhausted, wondering if they had cut extra peace and regretting ruining so much furniture
hruday woke up rather early to do his new routine,, which had now included stretching and watering plants.
Then he finished making the last 2 shields, while most went to make armor After finishing all that, he went around asking if they needed assistance, not really meaning it with his sleepy eyes While doing that, he called his friends for another session This time, he asked to be first and slept while getting massaged After getting woken up by Michael, he excused himself, saying he would massage better if he took a bath
and con-ed him as he locked his room in the pretense of changing his dress and slept like a baby. Michael didn't bother him and slept with others in the hall itself
hruday woke up with a frown and hit himself He felt afraid and hesitant to go do this absurdity. A teenager killing and fighting 100's of adults wasn't comforting at all
he knew he was brave but now that comfort was there and danger seemed to feel powerful he was hesitant it wasn't just him it was for all more so for volunteers who didn't even properly kill one of them they were even willing to do more work to escape this
but some knew they had to learn to face them and they also knew how exhausted and brave these young guys were so somewhere internally preparing for it if they said there were not enough volunteers, some didn't care and hoped that this plan gets canceled
somewhere against it saying that why should they have to risk their lives to save just one life of course with sugarcoating and the reasons were not even logical they were purely selfish in the end the managers had failed to require members of other members but they were all flabbergasted when they saw hruday who seem to have just woken up climb upside the building without using stairs and he seemed he was in trans wanting to die
hruday was on top at the edge of the building. He looked at numerous small window roofs, took a deep breath, and jumped This shocked Manny; even Roy ran toward him, thinking about the worst, then calmed down as hruday was jumping from one window to another. He too joined He wanted to get rid of the chains of fear he was feeling
Michael, who came after Roy jumped, ahh, he is doing main character things, Shit, I need to be a lean lead-side character not to die. Shit, this is scary He jumped, prying every god he could remember, closing his eyes, which made him not being able to land properly and get hurt He yelled in pain, and then he jumped properly after reaching the bottom. He felt a touch of pain in his ankle
he had shaken off his fear and tricked his brain into thinking that it would be worse if he Although the logic was not right in the end, it worked, but at the cost of his ankle and leg pain
he sprayed some painkiller onto his legs with that, he was good to go He also helped his friends jump, except Troy, who didn't jump
He scolded, "Why are you jumping with me? You have ideas about what would happen if I died."
Roy replied We wanted to prove the teacher's famous saying, Will you jump to the well if he does too?
Seriously, I knew why you were jumping; that's why I jumped with you. I don't know about Michael, tho
Michal well didn't want to leave you alone. That's why I did it. Why did you selfishly go to shine out me?
Wait, what did both Roy and hruday say, Michael? haha, I was joking when he said, Ah, man, my ankle hurts a little. Is my head swelling?
They were all prepared mentally and physically. Today he took out his phone and newly found headset He also borrowed it for Michael and Roy, who didn't have phoneparents'. They opted to borrow hruday parents' phones, which were left behind, and everyone listened to the same music He recommended hearing it to calm their nerves It was a thrift shop, so they had nothing to do but wait for the volunteers
they started to move their hands slowly, then they danced lightly Michael was imagining how attractive he was as a K-pop stars and how he rizzed up all the girls.
As Roy imagined everyone dancing for this on the stage and having a good time, his imagination changed as he opened his eyes Seeing the zombies from a distance, he too was now dodging zombies and killing them as if they were too slow
hruday was on heaven He felt so light he imagined himself dodging zombies and crushing them and he imagined building his own big base. His thoughts moved on as he imagined his plans and projects working They were all so lost in thoughts that they forgot how much time had passed due to the song being in loop but after the 3-song loop, they stopped the music and headed to the melting point
it seemed others worked really hard to convince, as there were 5 volunteers, excluding them in total, and there were 10 people ready to rescue and take goods
they all introduced themselves. There was 30-year-old Josef, who was giving off a serious vibe, and a 40-year-old uncle named Hector. He had a lot of belly fat but his arm muscles looked strong. He was giving off avenging dad vibes to him, and there was a cold Sophia, who hruday didn't like but still tried to understand but refused after coming, which he didn't blame as he did not put in any effort So now, with only 8+ 1 scout leader
he didn't know if he wanted more people, as he needed at least two people to block one opening and there were 3 ways the zombie could enter It seemed perfect yet he felt uneasy but he figured that it was just nervousness as he didn't want many people Then a thought came to his mind: what if they thought they could slack off?
I shouldn't make them feel entitled or easy so he called everyone There weren't many people who could have fought, as most were either fat or skinny aunts and they had 2 children to take care off
So he didn't know what to say as there were only 2 who he would consider strong enough to hold the barricade and run if needed, so he first praised those who came and then implied how important these people were and their lives were, and then he also made those 2 who didn't attend feel bad and guilty, saying every single person is important and extra. Then, just as people were looking at those 2 who were supposed to participate, hruday told everyone that those 2 people were reserved people and they would only help if things worsened and would communicate with everyone
