The new Camp

Early morning next day, Laurael left the camp alongside her team of 30 members, tasked with bringing her team members to Level 19 as soon as possible.

Like a proud military member, she led her own team out with her head held high.

Being one of the strongest Team Leaders in the camp, she was respected all over.

Amongst her 30 team members, five were above Level 15, holding the same title as hers. But, their status naturally was lower than her.

" Our main focus is to level up. Don't forget, " She reminded her team members.

She had great hopes out of these women.

" Yes Ma'am! " The girls obediently nodded.

They had come to terms with their leader's show-off behavior, which only calmed down before her aunt and Alex.

They first moved around the nearby areas in their cars, and killed all zombies there.

Even though Unison High, was outside the city. The lights, human smell and noise there still attracted some zombies, even after doing their best to keep it under check.

Being dead, the zombies still had all of their sensory reasonings there.

So, they could smell, see and hear.

That was the reason why the big survivors' camps were always surrounded by thousands of zombies.

Laurael knew that once, Unison High also became more populated it will be harder to protect.

That's why she needed to get stronger!

The only way was to get to Stage 2.

And she knew how to do that.

She looked at the women in front of her.

They were the ticket for her Stage 2 Promotion Token...

" Ah. Lady Laurael did you sleep with our Master yesterday? I saw you coming outta there happily..."

Laurael was brought out of her thoughts, as she heard the woman and blushed.

All the women in her car, had slept with Alex. So such a topic was normal to be talked about.

" Oh. So i was right... I also wanna cuddle with Master..."

" I'm so jealous... I was only able to be with Master once. "

" Ara Ara... Lady Laurael is young and beautiful. "

" Just look at Team Leader, she looks so rosy. "

" Yeah. Like a flower that was just watered... Giggle... "

Laurael was stunned.

Where was her respect!?

She hadn't even spoken and these women were already talking stuff.

These civilians really had no military discipline.

She quickly shut off these women who were talking nonsense.

After some time, it was around 8 in the morning that they heard the sound of clashing.

" Someone used gun? " One of the team members said.

" Report that we're engaging these people, " Laurael ordered seriously.

Someone holding a gun was serious matter, even in her team now only she and one more member had a gun while others were carrying some sharp weapons and axes.

The hot weapons were limited due to strict control by Albigion government on firearms.

She told her team members to park their vehicles nearby and then got down.

Soon, she found out what was the reason behind the sound.

There were around 6 people surrounding the group of 20 people.

Amongst the ones being surrounded, someone was already dead.

20 people cowered completely as they watched a man amongst their opponents holding a gun.

Laurael noticed the badge of their survivors' camp, on the shoulder of one of the cowering men.

" Everyone stop right there! " Laurael didn't wait anymore. Holding gun straight she walked forward slowly.

" Who's there? " The 6 people were stunned, as they turned to beautiful and tall Laurael and other women.

They hesitated. But soon their minds flashed with greed and lust.

And...

" Disgusting, " Laurael muttered feeling these men's gaze on herself.

Bang! Bang!

Next moment, she killed two people with consecutive head shots.

One of them was holding a gun of course.

Being at Level 19 her perception was top-notch.

" Shit! "

" They killed Jerolt! Take his gun! "

" No! We need to run! "

" Where did they come from.. Argh. "

" Damn... Help me... I'm being overpowered? "

Other female team members as well quickly followed down and hacked three remaining men to death, leaving one alive for interrogation.

" Speak " Laurael asked threateningly.

" Please! Don't kill me! I'll speak! "

The man was easy to persuade.

Just then one of the cowering men, as if he had just noticed ran towards Laurael's group.

" Pamela! It's me! " The man said interrupting Laurael.

Laurael was annoyed seeing some man, talking when she was busy interrogating.

She looked at the woman named Pamela, who had just joined her team.

" Is he your husband? " She asked.

" Y-Yes Lady Laurael. He is Jason. The one I told you about, " Pamela said.

" I'll kill him. If he shouts again. Tell him to shut up, " Laurael said coldly.

" O-Okay Lady Laurael, " Pamela promptly nodded, as she went to Jason and pulled him aside.

Laurael continued interrogating.

" W-We are just sentries. To keep watch on the surrounding. "

The now cowering man pointed at bald man amongst 6 men from Unison High Camp.

" But, that man was part of our camp and he ran away with our food. So we wanted to bring him back. "

" Is that true? " Laurael asked.

" No... " Bald man denied quickly while shivering in fear.

He had seen one of these women killing a man just because he had said something annoying.

Laurael looked at Pamela who was talking with her husband in hushed voice.

" What did he say? "

" Lady Laurael... Those 6 people were harassing them for all food and resources Jason and others carried... " Pamela said what she had heard from Jason.

Laurael also asked Jason about bald man's background, but he didn't know much.

' Thank God. I never told anyone that I had run away from other camp... ' Bald man was now sweating profusely.

He was actually a spy sent by other camp alongside many others.

Laurael looked back at the man they had caught and smiled eerily.

Pointing her gun at the man's temple, she said slowly, " Tell me the truth, or you're having extra hole in your body. "

She had no time to waste here, she was going to just kill this man and end the matter now.

Feeling the coldness in his head the man shuddered.

He stayed silent for a moment then spilled everything.

Shot!

With another gun shot, the man died.

Laurael now looked at the bald man, knowing everything about this other camp.

The bald man was actually a spy, and he was in contact with his brother from this camp.

One of the men who died just now was this bald man's brother.

And today, the bald man had brought his team here to provide his brother with some cigarettes and other resources. So that his brother could suck up to his superior.

The plan was for his brother and others to gang up here and steal these people clean.

Laurael wondered why this bald man had so much brotherly love.

Yeah. Just because of such a small mistake, his brother and other friends had all died.

He will also most likely die today and no one will get his insurance money....

" Where did you actually get enough points to buy enough of these useless things? " Laurael asked.

She had seen catalogue at Unison High Camp, cigarettes were slightly high priced.

For someone from 4th tier residency it would be hard to buy.

As a non-smoker, she thought of these things as useless.

What if she smoked and Alex didn't like the smell? She would rather die than use this thing.

Laurael shivered in disgust.

" L-Lady Laurael, I think I understand how they buy such costly things... " Pamela was the one who replied nervously.

She continued while glaring at her husband, " For last few days, I have been giving all of my points to my husband. They must be doing the same to many other women. "

Pamela wasn't an idiot, after two days of consecutively being scammed, she had seen many other women like herself being scammed.

But, still since it was for her husband she gave the points willingly. Same was true for other women who had also discovered the scam.

Laurael nodded. She remembered some of Alex's girls from Internal Security Department talking about this.

Even in apocalypse these people were scamming each other over petty things.

Bald man was a spy, he came to their camp, now he was providing some stuff back to his brother... The stuff scammed from other women at that.

" Whatever... Since you are a spy, no need to live anymore, " Laurael said.

Bald man who knew what was to come, tried to run away.

But, just then a zombie jumped out of some grass and bit him.

Laurael looked at this calmly. She had already noticed the zombie.

" Let's go. The sound of gunshot and smell of blood will attract the zombies. We already have the coordinates of this new camp. I'll send them to Master and then he'll make the decision, " Laurael said as she went back to the car.

Pamela heard about the so called 'Master' and felt curious.

She stared at the zombie gnawing at the bald man's body and slowly approached it with her axe.

After two outings with Laurael's team she had already reached Level 7.

" Pamela what are you doing? " Her spinless husband tried to stop her.

But, she ignored him and hacked the zombie to death then, she also killed the now zombie turned bald man getting some extra exp.

" Wow! what level are you Pamela? " Jason asked.

He was at Level 4 himself.

In start levelling up was easy, but since his team only went around safer places and there being 20 people in his group he got very less exp.

" Go back to the Camp and I'm not giving you my points from today to waste, " Pamela said coldly.

" I'm sorry Pamela. I didn't want to... But, that bald man forced me to take money... " Jason apologized.

Pamela hearing the apology couldn't be angry anymore.

" Okay... Sigh. Take care and don't associate with people like this. I'll see if I can get you into some good team, " Pamela said.

There were some good teams in 4th tier residency, she could try getting Jason into one of them.

Poor Pamela didn't know that, those teams were just pigs being raised to be slaughtered.

" Thank you Pamela. I love you! " Jason hugged Pamela feeling relieved that his wife was still as naive as before.

She was also beautiful and charming, he was really lucky to have her.

" Me too. I love you. Now get back safely, " Pamela said with slight smile.

" Yes, " Jason said.

He looked at bald man's corpse for a moment and was ready to leave with other team members of his.

But, he was stopped by Laurael.

" Stop. We have been ordered to approach that other camp. Three other teams, Lady Madison and Master himself are coming to take care of this mission. You're all coming with us, " Laurael coldly said.

These men will be good meat shields if something unexpected happened.

Jason and others of course didn't want to join in.

" You'll be killed as deserters, if you don't cooperate, " Laurael repeated.

Now these people readily agreed.

After 2 hours, Laurael reached near the camp location provided by dead man.

A little far away, they could see a lines of residential row houses.

That was supposed to be the camp, the bald man came from.

The area actually wasn't that far away from Unison High...

" We need to make sure that, we're not caught. so don't make noise... "

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Just as Laurael was reminding everyone she heard loud noises of vehicles.

She also got a message on her intercom from Cecelia to attack the camp.

They were supposed to kill everyone and subdue all women on sight.

" Launch the assault everyone! " She ordered.

Their three vehicles as well joined in the fray, alerting the people on other side.

" Who the fuck dares to attack us!! "

" Damn motherfuckers. This sound will attract zombies! "

" Shit! They have guns! Is that a military vehicle!?? "

" WAIT WE DON'T WANT TO FIGHT! STOP WHERE YOU ARE OR WE'LL SHOOT. "

Someone said loudly in the megaphone.

But, response was the gunshots from the dozens of vehicles marching at their base.

Laurael was stunned, her Master really didn't like keeping things low-key.

All the men on the front were directly killed.

The eye sight of Level 19 women from military background was no joke.

' Makes sense since it's not that far from the Unison High. Master really brought Lady Cecelia and Lady Vienna's teams here, ' Laurael thought dejected.

With more people she will have less chance to show off her strength in front of Alex.

In Unison High, her team could be ranked 3rd in Exploration Department.

So, she wanted to prove her worth now.

When she reached at the gate, the gate of the residential area was already broken cleaved in half and laid aside, most likely work of Madison.

Laurael wanted to storm in, but, " Lady Laurael we have the order to stay behind and make sure that no zombie enters inside. "

" What the fuck!? Who gave the order?! " Laurael was infuriated.

" It was from Master, " The woman said nervously.

" Spread out. Not a single zombie should make inside, " Laurael changed her tone and ordered.

Her team members giggled.

While the Jason and his team members were jealous.

Having such a supreme loyalty of beautiful and powerful woman like Laurael...

They were jealous to death...

They quickly spread out as per orders from Laurael.

As expected, zombies could be seen running this way from many sides.

The smell of blood could even be felt by humans. These undead naturally had better sensitivity to blood.

" Protect each other and kill! " Laurael ordered as she stayed back.

She had already reached the Level Cap. Her team members were the one who should fight.

The number of zombies coming was not much.

They also didn't come at once, so others could easily handle them.
