Chapter 9: Going in the military camp

IN ANOTHER AREA

Ten people in military uniform with guns were going house to house, searching for supplies and guns near the residential area where Anik first appeared in this world.

Every one was talking in sign language and suddenly two zombies appeared from a house.

*Bang*bang*

The front two guys immediately shoot both of them on the head. The first man was a 50 year old veteran marine and the another one was 30 years old man who was also  a marine.

The old man signs all of 9 soldiers to search each of the house for supplies while making two-two people formation.

After they go to each of the houses in that residential area. They bring back the found supplies in the M939, which is a 5-ton 6×6 U.S. military heavy truck.

When they try to leave the place, suddenly an 18 years old-looking boy appears a little afar from them.

"Help!! Are you from the military?"

The boy said to them while keeping the distance of 50 meters.

The old man ordered the other to first check the area and bring the boy to him.

The half the soldiers went towards the boy and the half remained near the truck.

The boy quietly accept to come with them, and after they asked him to give his stuff ,he immediately gives them which were a water bottle, a kitchen knife, a lighter, and the metal pipe rod he was holding.

The soldiers were surprised to see him to give his stuff easily. If not, they have to forcefully take for their safety protocols like other many they have faced in the zombie apocalypse while taking in people.

After the boy came to the old man, The old man asked very seriously,"What your name and how did you survive until now and are there any other survivors in this area."

"My name is Anik Arvish. I survive on the remaining food in the house while locking myself in the house and after the food was over.I have to go outside to search for food and water. And I am alone."

Anik said, looking very sincerely.

"Where are your family?"

The old man asked Anik.

"They are not in this world."

Anik said to the old man, looking a little misty.

"Hey, Austin, how much more we can take in survivors without making things difficult for us? "

The old man asked the 30-year-old Austin.

"20 people max, sir!"

"Get back in the truck, boy. And soldiers also."

The old said to all while Austin started the truck and started to move.

After Anik  hooped on the back of the truck with the other soldiers, but suddenly, someone put a one side of handcuffs in his right hand and another in the back of the truck support pole.

"What for ??"

Anik asked confusedly.

"We don't know whether you are infected or not, so some precautions must be taken. You will be checked throughly in the camp. We are sorry for the inconvenience."

One of the younger looking man said to him.

I understand. So, What's all your name. My name is Anik like I said earlier.

"My name is Holden."

Only the man talking to him said his name, while others didn't say anything. He also said to don't mind others. They will open up after you get toughly check you in the camp.

"Search for bites, right."

Anik said to Holden and Holden nodded.

On the journey to the camp.Anik and Holden make small talk.Anik asked Holden how many people were there in the camp. He said there were 500 people.

Finally, after 1 hour,they reached the camp.

The camp was a school fortified by barbwire from what Anik saw.

Now, finally, the front soldiers let the old man in after he comes. out of the trunk, but other soldiers, and he was taken from inspection.

After the front guard checks every soldier with him. They let in the truck and them.

Finally, the soldiers released the sign of relief.

"So it's compulsory for everyone to get checked beside general Laim."

Holden said to Anik.

"Why not check general Liam?"

Anik asked Holden.

"They dare not because of him and his commands that we are here alive and even if he was bite, he would already tell us."

Holden said to Anik proudly.

"You all believe him so much."

Anik said to Holden, and he nodded to Anik question.

After the question,Anik finally entered the camp and saw women, children, old people getting rations and soldiers walking around patrolling. There was a medical center, a kitchen and other stuff he couldn't understand what where kept in that tent.

"Holden Can I go to the Medical center?"

Anik asked Holden

"Of course you can, let me get you there.I am free of duty for now."

Holden said to Anik after saying goodbye by to his friends.

"Sure, Holden who is…."
