Kapitel 4: Chapter 4 - How to improve, Marine style!

Garret sat in the store with his squad mates, Hicks, Tomoe, Marina, and Mboto. All of them expectant as he was cleaning his glock pieces with them all having taken apart their guns to clean and make sure they were all at a hundred percent since they had no army bunker or depot nearby to use.

Garret explains everything he can from the party, the weird pill, how and where he woke up, no clue about his youthful appearance and body, and how he has a store he can buy things from by showing them the sudden appearance of the glock clip he uses 15 points for.

And explains to them how he can grab stat gems and his stats. He can't see their stats but he promises to save up and buy gems for them to see if they can get the benefit too.

At first all of them thought he had lost it. Then the reality hit them as they remembered the zombies, the clip appearing out of thin air from a magic circle, and how they all had a weird green pill before this. And all of them agree on the 3 day gap. It just didn't make sense.

But it was what happened so they were all stuck trying to figure it out together.

Garrett catches what they agree on, "Hold on? All of you had a green pill before this?"

They all nod as Mboto says, "Indeed. We found them in the barracks when we went back to our dorms. It was labeled as some sort of health supplement from the military so we all took one. The florescent flow was written off as a way it could be seen in the dark when we asked a superior about them before we took them. And we took them the same day you did. Just later than you since we had further to go."

Garretts mind works overtime as he thinks this information through. So they all came to this apocalypse world of zombies after a pill was taken. They don't have a system but he does. They haven't changed physically... At least based on what they have seen so far. And no one knows how the world went to shit in a matter of days.

Okay... So they either had this pill to make them immune to the coming virus and were transported here to fight the growing infection. Or they were somehow flung into an anime or another world like so many isekai comics and books he had read when he was younger.... None of this bodes well though.

In the first one their government would know about the coming threat and would be either keeping people quiet to avoid panic or would have facilitated it to make others test it so it becomes survival of the fittest.

On the other hand if this was isekai. They would be screwed as they don't know which universe that landed them in. They could be in any of the 100+ zombie stories he has read, watched, or seen in comics. And there are a lot!

He sighs out loud causing his squad to perk up and he goes, "Alright troops. Listen up. We are going to stock up hard. Grab all weapons and ammo we can from this survival store and any food stores nearby to ensure we are fully loaded and fully stocked before we go hunting for others. That's step one. Step two is we establish a base of operations with said survivors we find as long as they are friendly. And we then go on to research the world. Are we in our own? Are we in another like those isekai stories kids have been enjoying recently? We don't know. So step three is to understand where we are and the news of this area. And once that is done step four is to make our base long lasting and survive this world. Am I understood troops?"

All four soldiers yell out, "Sir yes sir!"

Garrett nods and sets up a rotation schedule for every two hours so they all get in at least 8 hours of sleep for the days ahead.

They all manage to rest well and no other zombie hordes. One or two stragglers per shift but nothing a quick crossbow bolt or knife to the head couldn't fix.

Garrett knew he had to save up for those gems for stats so during his shift he did a little scouting.

Setting up a noise booby trap and leaving a note. He took about 50 crossbow bolts, two crossbows, and a walkie talkie along his knife and pistol and went hunting for the surrounding two blocks.

He found quite a few zombies shambling around and managed to spear them through the skull at key angles that only cost him one bolt per kill.

During the entire two hours of killing, recovering bolts, sneaking, drop kicking a head in here or there, maybe a knife stab or two, and then repeating the process. He accumulated over 180 kills.

He was satisfied with his progress as he made it back in time for the shift change.

He greets Tomoe as she set up for her shift and blocked a bit at why he had full gear on before explaining to her he was busy scouting out about two blocks down for their route to City Hall in the morning.

Nodding to herself she went to her post while Garrett set down his gear and checked his stats.

Garret Grimsborne:

Str- 26

Agi- 21

Sta- 27

Int- 19

Sense- 21

Store points - 2,025

Grinning to himself he grabs the stat gems.

He grabs 4 of each for a solid 2000 points and put them away for now.

They had a test to do in the morning.

He wakes up with the squad and asks them to gather around as they cook up some basic field spread of dried fruits and some fried meat with some electrolyte charged lemon water.

They all gather as he hands out the stones.

They all gasp and Hicks asks, "You sure sir? You said this costs you around ten zombies for just one of them. You gave out 4! This is hard to come by!"

Garrett admits to his scouting activity being about gathering points. But he admits as well that they are his squad he wants to see if this can help them.

They all nod and try to absorb the crystals.

But soon they all see a notification appear in front of them.

They all have a screen saying, Stat system is not available for this player at this time thus player can't consume the stat gems. To consume stat gems please wait until stats are available. Please wait for the next-

And they all had around 3 more days before they could access their systems.

Garrett was confused by this time limit but his troops all shrug it off and agree that if they could unlock this system as well then they can rely on their own points versus mooching off of their commanders. Garrett nods as he is basically forced to absorb the crystals for himself from his squad.

With them down the hatch he feels his body tone up and his eyes get sharper. Not only that but he feels like he can take a lot more punishment in battle and in exercises. He grips his hand hard around a metal clothing rack and notices the aluminum iron alloy actually bends way more easily than normal.

He would normally have to push himself some to leave behind dents. But now? He only had to do a basic flex of his fingers and arm and he had it bent into his fists shape.

He looks to his hand in pride while his squad cheers.

He grins as he looks up at them and goes, "Should I call myself captain America if I keep this up?"

They all laugh as Colonel Grimsborne stands with a new outlook for this world. It was determined but with hope lighting up his eyes. He goes, "Let's follow our plan and get ready to fight these rotting corpses!"

They all salute and cheer before grabbing the food, clothes, weapons, ammo, and any other useful and daily necessities they could grab from the survival store and the general store three shops down the street.

And thankfully they were unimpeded by any zombies. For they were all dead.

They look to their Colonel with suspicion on how many he hunted last night as he sheepishly goes, "Iiiiiii may have been.... A bit motivated to grab those star crystals. But hey! It works for us don't it?"

They all roll their eyes with good humor and load up a Ford truck and a uhaul that Mboto and Hicks got up and running with Marinas help while Garrett and Tomoe loaded the supplies in.

With the truck working and the uhaul behind it being driven by Mboto while marina is his passenger. Hicks grabs the Ford and has Tomoe join him in the seating up front.

Garrett himself takes the back with his crossbow ready and they head towards City Hall as carefully as they could.

It was going to be a long day but a good day to progress their goals for the moment.

Kapitel 5: Chapter 5 - Reclaiming City Hall

Garrett and his squad proceed to the City Hall. It was about 3 miles or so through the city but with vehicles they were making good time.

They just had to deal with a zombie or 10. But Garrett took care of them quickly. And it only took a bolt each time. With his agility and senses where they were he was aiming and popping them as fast as a professional archer at a tournament. He really felt like he was better than his prime now. But he wasn't getting arrogant.

He knew many soldiers who trained for over a decade and felt like they were invincible on the field. Only for a stray sniper round or a well hidden mine trap to end their career.

Until his stats were at least 50 or higher on average. He wasn't going to pretend he was captain America or something. Though once he was there... He would probably be captain America. Physically anyway.

They make it closer to City Hall and the sound of gunfire starts up again as they hear a lot of moaning and groaning coming from the building.

They pick up the pace and reach there in the next 3 minutes. Only to turn the corner to see a group of about 15 people with pistols, shot guns, some basic sub-machine guns, and the odd assault rifle or two shooting into a crowd of at least 300 zombies. Maybe more as they were flooding out of the nearby buildings and streets that Garrett and his troops didn't take. He noticed the shot gun users were cops and the sub-machine gun users were swat. The Assault rifles were used by soldiers, though he didn't recognize these ones. But they were obviously struggling and doing what they could to fight back despite what looks like diminishing ammo reserves.

He slams the trucks main carriage and motions for Mboto to stop. They halt as the nearest zombies notice them and begin to shamble towards them.

Garrett grits his teeth as he begins to take arrow shots at the approaching zombies killing them one bolt at a time.

He yells out, "Marines! Reinforce and rescue tactic B47! Now!"

Mboto, Tomoe, Hicks, and Marina all nod and rush out of the vehicles, Marina takes her rifle and goes manual mode and begins to pop heads from the top of the Uhaul truck, Tomoe reinforces by being on the Ford truck and shooting with her crossbow bolts alongside Hicks who is helping with well placed shota from his sniper rifle to conserve ammo.

Mboto was up close and personal with the zombie enemies as he used the riot batton and a riot shotgun to beat back and shoot up to 3 zombies at once. Garrett was going old school with his pistol but also adding in a machete he grabbed from the survival store. All together he and his squad was making good progress being a diversion to ease the hordes pressure on City halls defenders.

The Defense line noticed their reinforcements and cheered loudly and began to fight more aggressively against the oncoming horde. The zombies began to fall one by one faster and faster.

Garrett was a storm in the zombie horde. He definitely noticed his growth as he was feeling much more energetic and feeling the rush of having such power over such weak opponents.

Until he stabbed into the chest of a huge and ripped zombie. He noticed where his knife landed, the heart of some huge pecs. And looked up to see a solid 7ft tall ripped body builder who obviously used steroids. But his zombie form had way more muscle and bulk to it than the average person. Garrett looked between his knife and the zombie a few times before going, "Well shit."

The zombie immediately tries to bear hug him and crush him. But Garrett manages to pull his knife out and retreat from the hug. Rolling backwards he brings his pistol up to bear and unloads the next 8 rounds into the zombies neck and skull. It stumbles back as its head is half gone and the neck is shredded. Garrett remains in his ready position and his knife at the ready as he reloads his now empty clip.

The zombie looks back down at him and its remaining left eye seems to get a sickly green glow. Garrett goes pale as that was the same glow that he and his troops took in the form of those pills. He brings his pistol up and fires at the eye. It goes dark but a new eye appears in the abs of this thing!

Garrett yelps and lets loose another 5 rounds at that new eye before leaping up and driving his knife into the remaining gray matter of the bulk zombie.

It gurgles as the ab eye and remaining brain are shredded. Making it fall to its knees and die in a final death spasm.

Garrett huffs as he had to use way more stamina than he thought to pierce its skin and muscles for that last attack. It was way more dangerous than the average zombie. He turns as the horde is down to stragglers and goes to help finish them off.

In the next few minutes they have cleaned up the remaining zombies and have begun to pile them up with the help of the defenders and some volunteers from the inside of city hall to burn the bodies to avoid disease.

Garrett takes off his helmet and approaches the trio of soldiers who are watching the burning to ensure no one gets bitten by a zombie playing dead. Garrett asks, "Colonel Garrett Grimsborne of the marines. Who is in charge here?"

The trio of soldiers look to each other then to a man walking out of the city hall. He is in fatigues with a knife and a pistol on his hip. But nothing much else. He has a general patch on his uniform and Garrett comes to attention. The general eyes Garrett up and down before grinning in a smug way, "Thanks for the assist there Colonel, my men had it handled but the reinforcements are very much welcomed. Thanks."

Garrett nods and asks, "We also brought supplies, ammo, and weapons. Where should we put them?"

The General thinks before going, "Put them in the City hall locker rooms, its where we put all that gear and the supplies to ensure no one can access them so easily and without permission since only the soldiers know the combination."

Garrett nods and drives the truck while Mboto drives the Uhaul to the directed door way closest to the lockers. With the help of about 5 other civilians they manage to get the supplies unloaded and prepped while hiding the working trucks in the garage behind city hall in the underground parking area. They manage to secure them and head up to meet the others.

They see the survivor area with about 20 kids, 50 adults who are civilians, and about 10 elderly folks.

He hums as he sees the General approaching them, "Sorry for the late introduction Colonel I am General Byers, I worked hard to make sure we had this many survivors from around the city. Anyway come with me."

Garrett follows the general into the city hall main meeting room where a man with graying hair in a suit is there, alongside a police chief. The general sits at the head while he invites Garrett to sit on the other end of the table. He goes, "Now Colonel, to bring you up to speed about our situation and to make sure we have an understanding about what your squad will do for us here. Are you ready?"

Garrett nods and settles in for a no doubt long discussion. While he settles down he notices two messages from the system.

Congratulations on defeating a full horde! +1 to every stat!

Good job on taking your first mutant down! Strength mutant ability is absorbed into strength! +3 to strength!

Base gained! +1 to Int and Sense stats!

Garrett sighed quietly to himself in satisfaction at this. At least while it was a stressful situation and he was no doubt going to be exploited for having a fresh squad and working vehicles, he at least got something good out of this whole event.

Current stats of Garret Grimsborne:

Str- 30 +4 = 34

Agi- 25 +1 =26

Sta- 31 +1= 32

Int- 23 +2 = 25

Sense- 25 +2= 27

Store points - 975
