Inside the military post, the atmosphere was much safer and more organized. Fully uniformed soldiers bustled about, checking equipment and standing guard. Akira, Eky, Alice, and the other survivors were taken to the briefing room by a high-ranking officer who introduced himself as Captain Yusop.
"Welcome to our military post. We've heard reports about the conditions outside, and we'll do our best to protect you," said Captain Yusop.
They were offered seats and given food and drink. After a while, Captain Yusop began explaining the situation.
"We have enough supplies to last a few months, but we must continue finding ways to overcome this outbreak. We're working with some scientists still operating in the city."
Akira, feeling responsible as the group's leader, asked, "What can we do to help?"
Captain Yusop smiled slightly. "Your courage has already helped a lot. However, if you're willing, there are critical tasks that need volunteers. We need people who can move quickly and not attract the zombies' attention."
Alice, always eager for action, immediately responded, "We're ready to help. What's our first task?"
Captain Yusop explained that they needed to retrieve medical supplies from a hospital in a dangerous area. "We need the medicines to treat the victims here. The journey is risky, but if you succeed, you'll save many lives."
That night, they rested in the soldiers' barracks. Akira, Eky, and Alice talked quietly, planning their steps. "We have to be careful. This isn't just a normal journey," said Akira.
Eky added, "We've been through a lot together. I know we can do this."
Alice nodded. "We're doing this for everyone here. We'll come back safe."
