Yesterday evening, I requested two people to go and find Jack. He had
been wondering around all day, and haven't seen his face in a while.
The reason is that one of the representatives from the tree house
village want to see us, and who is responsible for who. I told him,
Moses is the leader, also is my brother. Me myself is in charge of
battle plans mostly, and other stuff regarding safety and strategies,
and Jack, he is responsible for creating new weapons and different
strategies how to survive (farming, etc). Jack is a reader. I said. The
representative, Hannah, welcomed us, though it was intense at first,
later she realized that we're good people.
We were given the
permission that we can stay here (not in their tree houses), but in
their premises, and agree to help each other, as long as we protect
their people too from bandits, and craze.
*morning*
I
have never had any sleep this good before, since this is all happened. I
woke up and I saw Julie was using her axe on a tree, probably
practicing, or just bored or some sort. Jack is still asleep, and Victor
is sitting on a bench. I got up, and unpacked my backpack:
1. 1 axe
2. 1 crowbar
3. a handgun and a hunting rifle
4. amunitions
5. liquor
6. rope
7. sunglasses
8. a compass
9. map
10. snack.
I
quickly grabbed the snack and ate it. Man, I was so hungry, I might
have even forgotten to eat on the way here after the battle. I finished
my snack in seconds, then I drank some of the water that has been given
to us last night. I then started making plans as of what we should do to
help this place better (Moses is pretty much useless at this point, and
let me in charge).
*afternoon*
I then proceed to find a useless table, round table, and this is going to be my new work desk.
I
laid my map on it, pin it down with rocks, so it doesn't go anywhere. I
took out a piece of paper and started jotting down the stuff that I
want to get done for today. After I was done with all of my preparation,
I started a fire, boiled some water, and prepare them for everybody. I
woke them up one by one (literally, but more like ditch by ditch). I
gathered everyone around. From about 160 people, we're down to 125
people because of Valors. As much as I would love to go back, and
retrieve the body of our fallen, it was way too dangerous. I grouped the
group into several, and divided the jobs.
I called the leaders candidates of each group to the front table, so I can tell them what the plan was.
first up, Victor.
Victor's to do list:
Once
I drew a 2 miles radius circle on the map, covering our parameters, I
told him to bring 15 men with him. I told him to dig a hole circling the
tree house village (ours too). 5 meters deep, and 3 meters wide, and
after you guys are done cover it with branches, so craze or bandits
don't know that it's there. Now, you have to do this carefully, and
divide the physical resources management. I suggest you to have 5 men
working, 5 rest, and 5 guarding, and the cycle continues. Bring guns,
and make sure they are equipped with silencers. Safety is number 1, and
leave no man behind unless they asked you to leave them.
Jack's to do list:
Jack,
I know I can trust you with hunting. Make sure with have enough food
either meat or vegetables for the next 2/3 days. Bring 20 men with you,
divide them into groups 2 each, but keep them close in case of troubles.
I want you guys to be safe, don't fool around, and if the group mess
up, we're all not eating. No pressure. Safety is number 1, if you guys
have little food and there is trouble, signal everybody, and go back.
You will be 1 mile away from Victor, so warn them if you guys see
anything. One more thing, don't make too much noise.
Moses' to do list:
Moses,
you and I will bring 5 men with us each and we go about another mile
away from Jack. To patrol in the front line. I'll bring walkie talkie,
one for each leader, and each leader must have a whistle. We patrol, if
we see anything, get to safety. Bring sniper rifles, melee weapons, and
shotguns.
I then said one more thing to them :
I'll
contact you guys through each walkie-talkie, frequency 67.9FM. You
heard warning from us, blow the whistle twice, and wait for your crew.
Tell your crew if you guys can't find each other and heard the whistle,
head back to the base. When these whistles are blown, every men is on
his own, and head back to base IMMEDIATELY. Pick your men wisely.
Be safe all
They
were all then spread out and pick their own men, and after their done, I
yelled everyone who is not going, please you're our only defense. Arm
yourself, and get ready for anything. Split yourselves into two groups. 1
for farming and planting, and 1 for defense. After things were finally
sorted out, we all spread out, and proceed onto our quests. (p.s Julie
is with me)
*Evening*
I was
watching with a sniper rifle, and Julie had her binoculars. Nothing,
then we circle around the perimeters, and still nothing. This is how it
went. 3 people, Julie, Craig, and I were patrolling the North to West,
Moses and his group were patrolling the South to West, and two other
groups were patrolling South to East, and East to North. Sometimes we
see each other, but not for long because we had to keep patrolling. The
sun is going down now, and our shifts should be over sooner or later. I
was sitting duck with my sniper when Julie said to look 20 degrees to
the left. I saw a cutter, walking towards us, but it's very far away. I
took this chance to see it's weakness with my silenced sniper rifle. I
shot it's face, and blown of half of it, but still nothing. It was
confused as if where that (my bullet) came from. Then, I took another
shot on its knee cap, and it fell, but later got back up. When it got
back up, I notice something behind it's neck. It's a huge blob,
yellow-ish color attached to it. I took my chance to shoot it, and it
popped. The cutter didn't die, though it just stays there. Not making
any moves, as if I had taken of it's nerves. I looked at it curiously
through my scope, for about 15 minutes or so, but still nothing. I took
this into consideration, and took notes from this. After that was done,
I contacted all of the leaders of the team to head back. There was no
problem so no whistles were blown.
*Night*
It
was a success. The tree house village was impressed on how our group
handle things. We even had dinner with them. Now, everyone is drunk,
having fun (not loud fun), telling stories, and bond with each other. I
have not yet told them about the weakness of the cutter, so I will make
sure I will tell them tomorrow morning. I'm writting this, while Julie
is right beside me, humming.
"Good shot" she said. I'm just smiling and I told her, good eye for spotting that cutter.
This is where we sleep at night, make sure we're not visible to anything (we still have patrols)
