Chapter 11 - Dangerous

The next morning, they woke up with renewed spirits. After a quick breakfast, they gathered in front of Captain Yusop, who gave them maps and detailed instructions.

"This hospital is in the city center, in an area full of zombies. We'll provide you with some additional weapons and a radio for communication," explained Captain Yusop.

Akira, Eky, and Alice, along with a few other soldiers, quickly moved towards the city. They walked in tight formation, alert to every sound and movement. When they reached near the hospital, they saw the main door was locked and guarded by several zombies.

Eky surveyed the surroundings. "We can try entering through the back door," he whispered.

They sneaked to the side of the building and found the back door slightly open. Carefully, they entered the dark, quiet hospital. The smell of medicines mixed with the stench of decay filled their nostrils.

Alice led the way quietly. They walked through the silent corridors, each step echoing loudly in their ears. As they were almost to the storage room, they heard a rumbling noise behind them.

Zombies began emerging from dark corners, their empty eyes fixed on the group. "Quick! We need to get the medicines now!" yelled Akira.

Eky and Alice held off the zombies while Akira and a soldier entered the storage room. They found the needed medicine boxes and quickly brought them out.

When they returned to the hallway, they were faced with a horde of zombies blocking their path back to the exit. Akira quickly radioed for backup, but they knew they couldn't wait for long.

"We need to fight our way out!" shouted Eky, swinging his bat with precision.

Alice darted between the zombies, striking them with calculated blows from her racket. The soldier accompanying them fired rounds into the undead mass, trying to create a path.

Akira, with a clear mind amid the chaos, directed their movements, ensuring they stayed together and covered each other's backs. Despite the overwhelming odds, they fought with determination, knowing that failure meant doom not only for themselves but also for those relying on the medicine they carried.

Finally, backup arrived, and the combined effort of their group and the reinforcements managed to push back the zombies long enough for them to make a dash for the exit. With their hearts pounding and adrenaline coursing through their veins, they emerged from the hospital, battered but victorious.

Back at the military post, they handed over the much-needed medical supplies, receiving grateful thanks from the doctors and other survivors. Captain Yusop commended their bravery and resourcefulness, expressing his gratitude for their contribution to the community's well-being.

As they rested that night, reflecting on their harrowing mission, Akira, Eky, and Alice knew that they were capable of facing any challenge together. Their bond had been tested and proven strong, and they were ready to confront whatever lay ahead in this new world overrun by the undead.
