    Two hours later, in Sangke Wetland Park, a group of fighters arrived there to check a crate that had been dropped by The Organization a while ago after Hugo had made a call yesterday. The crate that has been dropped contains a lot of needed supplies to aid for Eduardo injuries, food and more needed clothes for this cold environment. The group of six fighters arrived there without any issue with their jeep. In that group of six fighters, there is Ri Ku, who has offered to come with Turbo squad members to check the supplies and the area.


    At the entrance of this park, the group leave their jeep behind and walk in a formation, with their assault rifles prepared to shoot any zombie in sight. They walked for a good one hundred meters, then they saw a zombie getting up from the ground, and one of the fighters quickly took out his knife and threw it at the zombie''s head, killing it and putting it back to rest.


    "Nice throw." compliments Ri Ku that soldier from Turbo squad who threw the knife.


    "Thanks." responds the fighter.


    The group continues their walking, when they arrive in front of the crate that has been dropped. The group looked around the area, in case someone had come here, and decided to take the supplies for themselves instead of sharing. The crate that has been dropped in the middle of a hill is like any supplies crate that belongs to the Organization, one that measures about two meters tall, green with camo and The Organization logo to let the fighters know this is the crate they''ve ordered.


    "It''s almost empty." says a person from Turbo squad checking the crate while the rest are looking around the area.


    "What?" asks another fighter, walking to his comrade in arms.


    "Look."


    Soon, most of the group came to check the crate, they saw there are essential missing things in there, like medical aid, ammunition, clothes and food. They would''ve just taken it like this and gone back to their base like they should''ve done, but they took the entire medicine that Eduardo and many others would need in the future in case they''ll ever get wounded. Luckily, Ri Ku found some footprints leading to a nearby building. The group is arming themselves and walking toward that place, careful and without making any sudden noise.


    Arriving at that house, the group opens the door and walks inside with their guns, aiming at the two people who are resting in bed, almost naked and with a lot of supplies that are stashed under the said bed. The group looked at the two with confusion and laughter. Some were confused on why the two would decide to have a sexy time outside, with broken windows and in an environment with a deadly virus, while others were laughing under their helmets that they''ve sure got balls to do this.A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.


    "D-D-Don''t shoot." says the two people at the bed, raising their hands and shaking up.


    "We don''t want any trouble." responds the guy from the bed, the one with an eye patch.


    "Speak English." says Ri Ku to the two.


    "We don''t know English," says the other man.


    "You''re lucky I know Chinese." says Ri Ku to the two lowering his weapon.


    Ri Ku is in the front of the group, when he has laid his weapon, the others proceed to do it as well, slowly and cautiously.


    "Now." says Ri Ku in Chinese. "What are your names?"


    "Yan." says Yan, and he points at the dude with an eye patch.


    "Shin." says the person with the eye patch.


    "Nice to meet you." says Ri Ku to Yan and Shin. "My name is Ri Ku, and I am a member of the Shi Huang Squad, owned by the Organization. You two are in a group?"


    "We were." says Shin to Ri Ku.


    "Were? What happened to it?"


    "We got attacked by another group in Xining. We were going in that city to search for any supplies. We were attacked after we stepped in the city."


    "Seven of us have perished, including our leader, which left me, my lover and three other people to flee the city, going all separate ways." says Yan to Ri Ku. "I don''t even know if the others are still alive at this moment."


    "And that said city," says Ri Ku. "It is safe?"


    "It had a lot of zombies in there. Don''t know if it is worth risking our lives there. This event happened like a week or two ago. I lost count of time, Ri Ku."


    "We both did. From then, we decided to remain in this shack, living and spending our last moments with each other until we perish one day."


    "Now be well," says Ri Ku taking his thermometer and measuring the two body temperatures, then he looks at the thermometer and says to them under his anti-bite helmet. "Because you will have a new place to stay in."


    Then, Ri Ku proceeds to translate the discussion with the other five people, who don''t speak mandarin at all. After he explains he will take them, one of the fighters asks Ri Ku.


    "Are you sure they won''t possess any harm?"


    "I am sure of that." responds Ri Ku to that one fighter question.


    Soon, the two quickly take their clothes on, get out of the bed and help the fighters load the supplies in the jeep trailer cabin that they''ve used to come here and get the supplies. This whole thing lasted for twenty minutes or so, and when they were all done, the group and the two new survivors got in the crammed jeep and drove toward Dicang village which is a few kilometers away.


    "You two haven''t noticed the noises coming from there?" asks Ri Ku to the two survivors while the jeep is driving on the ravaged roads.


    "Yes, we did." says Shin. "But we thought they were coming from the group that had attacked us."


    "And this group, how many were there?"


    "I don''t know, but I believe there are many in numbers. Probably more than you."


    "I see." says Ri Ku. "You two, I want later tonight to come and relate the entire attack you''ve suffered to our commanders. If you can."


    "What are you thinking?" asks Shin.


    "You''ll see." says Ri Ku to the group and the discussion stops because they arrived at the gates of the base.
