Rescue Mission

Zeds car roared as it pulled out of the park position it had been sitting in. The car made it to the fence and soon four armoured military SUV followed.

The soldier who was currently stationed at the main entrance to the private parking area opened the main gate.

Zed and five soldiers were on their way to rescue as many family members as possible. This would be a long and tiring mission which could possibly take the rest of the day.

Zed currently held a piece of paper which had the addresses of every single soldier's family homes. This is where he would pick up the family members.

Zed picked up the radio and spoke into it, "make sure to keep close to my car and don't slow down unless I do."

"copy that" A soldier soon answered.

This soldier was soon followed by the same reply from the other two cars.

The company of vehicles we're pummeling through zombies which were scattered among the roads. Not a single zombie stood a chance when faced with these high-speed clumps of steel.

Along the way, Zed explained exactly how each person would be rescued. The process would be for Zed to lead the group and when they arrived at a house one of the soldiers would get out of their car and pick up any survivors. While they were doing this Zed would hold off the zombies.

Soon the group arrived at the first destination and as it had been planned one soldier got out from his car and went into the apartment block.

Zed got out from his car and began slicing down undead with his katana. Soon 15 zombies had been cut down and the soldier had come back outside with 3 people. It seemed to be a mother and two little girls.

Once they all got into the car Zed went back to his own.

"3/40 family members saved" stated the system without emotion.

The same planned continued to work every time until all four cars had been completely filled. Since each car could hold around 10 people the total amount they could hold was exactly 40 people. Then Zed had to take five people in his car which ended up making it very cramped. The mission had been completed when all 40 people had been saved.

On the way back to the base not a single word was spoken within the car. It was dead silent the entire way back. Eventually, though they had arrived back at the parking lot and Zed dropped everyone off.

Everyone was immediately joyful after seeing their family members had not been harmed. Although they had not saved their families themselves, that was part of their initial plan while trying to take out as many zombies as possible.

The only reason it was now possible to save them was that the sound of their earlier fight had brought the majority of undead to the centre of the city.

Zed smiled when he saw the soldiers holding their wives and children close and decided that it would be best to act upon this moment of happiness. If he could convince them to work while happy, it would not decrease their overall morale.

"Follow me and I will keep you all safe. I am the chosen one of this new age and I alone will deliver you to prosperity in our new lives. The buildings which surround our current compound should be filled with supplies. In turn, to keep our group alive we will be needing said supplies. Soldiers are to clear each building one by one. Women and children are then to empty each building one by one until all the supplies are found put into one singular building." Zed yelled to his new followers.

The soldiers and their families had listened to every word which came from Zeds mouth. He was their saviour after all and any less would be disrespectful and shameful.

Seeing the survivors listening to what he had to say, Zed continued, "I will be setting off to explore, send survivors back here and get a footing for the emerging survivor groups in this city. Since I am the strongest here you will be vulnerable. Thus, the fortification of this compound should also take place immediately. Kagami will be in charge until I get back."

Since the compound was surrounded by a full square of tall buildings Zed had decided to use them as a place to both sleep and store supplies. They could also act as a natural defence once they were fortified. This place was the perfect base at the beginning of the apocalypse so if he could obtain it so early he might be able to get a good footing this city.

Zed didn't get back into his car and instead decided to jump over the main gate in a single action. That was a four-meter high gate which he had jumped and everyone had seen it.

The families understood everything Zed had said. They would now follow Zed until the end and so the families all got straight to work once Zed had left. Kagami immediately started giving out orders and the soldiers all listened. Kagami would be in charge of ordering and designating buildings for the supplies and housing. He would also be in charge of fortifying the base.

By the time Zed would come back to the compound, Kagami would ensure everything was complete.

....

Zed sprinted along the main road cutting the undead in two as he passed. His main goal was to find the girl and her family which had saved him in his past life. His second goal was to find a man who in the future would become extremely powerful. In zeds previous life there was a man who had the power of increasing the power of zombies. Due to this he had been seen as an enemy against humanity and thus had his entire family murdered in front of himself. The man was then tortured to death by the 3rd great and his only rival in power.
