The Insider System

Chapter 217: Cleared

Lake looked back down the street that they had just finished clearing and said. "I think we should be done for the day." It had been a few more hours and he was starting to think another wave of undead would be coming out soon. They had run into a few really weak undead in the past ten minutes and he was pretty sure they were seeing the work of the few gargoyles that had been able to find a second person to turn before he had found and killed them.

It was fine it would give them something else to do tomorrow that wasn't just this again. Even if both jobs were repetitive, Lake much preferred hunting to cleaning even if he had found a few cool things while going through people's houses. "I think that would be for the best." Lake looked at the guy who agreed with him and could tell he was just saying this because he didn't want to work anymore.

"Alright go see if everyone has food or if we need to stop and get some more before we return to base." Finding someone who was actually someone he should be talking about their plans with Lake said. "We're about to go back to base so no one gets attacked while I'm in a building." Lake had to go in because there was a chance there would be a living monster in every building he went into so while he was inside they could get targeted.

He wasn't too worried about one gargoyle but the Undead seemed interested in tricking people and Lake was afraid someone might fall for it if he wasn't there with Detector to tell them the truth. "We should go get some water first. Everyone's bottles are empty." Lake nodded and asked. "Are we good on food?"

He had already asked that other guy to check but Lake was pretty sure this dwarf would know since they had brought up water. "Yes we shouldn't need to go look for more for another day." Hearing this, Lake yelled to the guy he had sent to ask to stop and then said. "Follow me." Once they were on the move Lake stopped at the first well they saw and let everyone fill their bottles.

He was still a little worried about the water but after watching everyone drink some he guessed there was nothing he really needed to worry about. He was still going to wait till later to drink the water he gathered though. "Ok let's go home."

...

Once inside he saw that the people weren't in the first room and had moved deeper in the building. Seeing an open door Donny went inside. Seeing a smashed gargoyle and that his team was fine he asked them. "What are you doing?" They were crouched around a body for some reason and he wanted to know why they hadn't gone outside yet.

"They're still breathing and we were discussing what we should do." Moving one of them out of the way so he could get a better look at the person on the floor Donny saw that they were right but that didn't mean this person was alive. "What was the gargoyle doing when you came inside?"

"It attacked us as soon as we came into the room." This didn't really tell Donny anything but looking at how good the body's shape was he said. "I don't think this is a normal person anymore. Why would the gargoyle leave them alive?" Even the best of the people he had saved had been slightly hurt so the fact this person was completely fine made no sense.

Donny could tell these people didn't want to take the risk though so he said. "I'll deal with it, go back outside." He was 100% sure he was right so he had no problem killing this monster even if it looked like a normal sleeping person. Decapitating the undead Donny felt the Exp and put his weapon up before heading outside. "Start getting the wounded inside, I have to go again." They could all hear the screams so he needed to go before any of them got too far.

It seemed even the few minutes he had spent here had been too long. "Find me something to eat while I'm gone." he could eat on the run as long as he had something so he would get it when he got back.

Finding the first and closest of the three he could hear yelling about needing help Donny saw this guy hadn't stopped fighting and was still hitting the gargoyle while being pulled along the ground. This was a good sign for them so Donny ran out to help. Killing the gargoyle the man said. "I almost had it but thanks for the help."

The guy looked like he was about to run back to the main battle so Donny said. "There's a group of survivors over here that we need help guarding." The man looked at him and asked. "Survivors?"

"I've been killing the gargoyles that have been dragging people away for a while." The man looked really excited as Donny said this and said. "Did you save my wife?" Donny didn't know but he had saved a few women so he said. "Maybe, go look, I have to go and get the next person."

Donny pointed towards the alley the others were in and ran off to get the next person. This guy was fine so even if it took him some time he would be able to find the others on his own.
