Mark nodded with a smile. 'It seems like Steve is doing a good job on the other end. Now let's get to work.' looking at the window.

Slowly opening the window, they peeked through the curtain and saw two people in the corridor. One was on the other side of the hallway while the other was walking away from them. Mark noticed the slightly opened door to a room on the right side. It was a classroom with benches attached and chairs to the side.

He remained silent, observing the corridor and the two people in it while Kevin was looking out for people. As soon as the person on the other side walked away and the one walking almost in the middle, Mark jumped inside. He squeezed into the room on the right and turned around to see a person sleeping. Smiling at how convenient things are, he slit the man's throat.

He looked back and saw Kevin already closing the door. Both of them waited as they heard the footsteps from the corridor. As soon as they came near, they suddenly stopped in front of the door.

The door got knocked and Mark put a finger on his lip while walking towards the door. Kevin hid behind a cabinet in the room while Mark got behind the door and slowly opened it. They already shoved the body under the tables, and now the room was empty.

"Man, how long do you take to open the door. We got an order, so wake up. We need to get to the-" said the person as he came in, but paused when the room was empty.

Mark didn't give the man any time as he kicked the gun in his hand and placed the sword on his throat. Everything happened too quickly for the man, and he couldn't react even a bit.

"Now don't make any noise. Just stay quiet and sit down on the chair to the side." He whispered and Kevin came out from his space. Mark knocked his head back and signaled him to close the door.

Closing the door, both of them sat opposite to the gangster. With Mark's sword on his neck, he could only stay quiet while observing the two people in front of him.

"Now, let's start with the basic question. How many people are currently in this place?" pressing the sword harder. A small line of blood trailed down the man's neck, making him shiver.

"Around 30 people. Almost everyone went over to the outpost near the high rises. They suddenly attacked us. The boss lost his cool and ordered everyone to move there." his voice trembled.

Mark simply nodded and continued, "Now, where is your boss's room?"

"The floor above. His office is in the principal's room. But many people are guarding that place. You-" he stopped when Mark pressed it hard enough for him to feel pain. He started sweating harder.

"Exactly, how many people are on this floor and the above? How to get there?"

"There are probably five more on the main corridor, which is to the last right from here. The stairs up are right around the corner, so it's easy to reach. There are another four people on the corridor above "

Mark nodded and sliced off the head without giving the person a chance to retort. He looked down at the head and then at the body falling. Covering his mouth, he swallowed the vomit back in and drank some water. He never killed humans, the last time was when he had too much adrenaline and forgot. Zombies were different as they were already dead, but now he killed a man knowing fully what he was committed to and it made him feel a bit sick.

Exhaling some air, he turned back and gave Kevin an assuring nod.

"We need to get this done quick. I'll move in the front, and you cover the back while looking out for people. Let's burn this place down." Extending his fist.

Kevin smiled and did the same. Standing in the front, Mark opened the door and peeked outside. He noticed a gangster standing at the far end with a gun, looking around. He couldn't afford to kill him in that position.

As soon as the member turned around and walked into the main corridor, Mark quickly went out and slowly made his way with Kevin covering his back. They paused as they almost reached the middle. Right in front of them to the left was the entrance to the building. Many people were outside patrolling and they could get caught if they don't cross the doors quickly.

Taking a deep breath, Mark peeked outside and saw people looking around with guns. Everyone was on high alert. Normally this distance could take Mark three jumps to get across. But it should only take him one jump if he did it now.

Taking a few steps back, Mark slowly ran and leaped across while looking to the side. Luckily, no one caught his leaping figure as he safely landed on his two feet. Turning back, he urged Kevin to do the same. Kevin was normally more athletic than him, so he would only take an extra jump.

Taking a deep breath, Kevin ran and jumped with all he got. Surprisingly, he could reach farther than he thought. Seeing him come near the end, Mark stretched his hand out and pulled him in. Kevin fell on Mark and they both tripped.

As their bodies fell on the floor, Mark tried to stretch his hand out and stop their momentum, but it was too late. It created a small sound, making a person outside look into the corridor. As the gangster wanted to check what made the sound, he heard his friend.

"Hey, don't wander off. The boss is raging today. If we mess up, we will die." making him stop and get back to his position.

Mark sighed in relief as the man turned around and both of them got up.
