Chapter 8 - FUCKIN SCHOOL!

As we got out of the car, I decided to pull some night vision goggles I had scavenged from some undead military personnel near Atlanta and handed them to everyone. After everyone had put them on, I instructed Daryl and Merle to keep this spot safe. At the same time, I followed Bobby to the temporary medical area as I sling my M16A2 rifle over my left shoulder after attaching a silencer to it and keeping one hand near my combat knife's holster on my waist. I need to be ready for silent takedowns, not shooting on sight even with a silenced gun as it still makes noise when fired. My long sword will not be very effective in tight quarters, and well, it lights on fire, so it'd blind us given the night vision goggles!

As Bobby and I made our way up to the school, I peeked inside one of the doors and saw nothing was inside, seemingly except for a few random blood splatters on the floor and lockers. Looking at Bobby, I gently open the school doors some before slipping inside quietly as Bobby opened the door wider for him to get in.

"Okay big guy, where would they have kept their medical stuff at?"

"I believe either the nurse office or one of the science labs... or all of them given how much supplies they should've had."

"Then guide me, big guy, leave the frontal fighting to be okay? You navigate I murder shit since that seems easy enough."

With a nod from Bobby, we carried on and crept our way through the school, even taking the longer paths if only to avoid an area like the gym, which may be crawling with the dead, till we found one of the science labs locked. Looking inside, though, there was definitely some medical stuff. Looking at Bobby, I told him to be on watch as I pulled my thieves tools from my inventory, making it look like I did so from one of my pockets. As I got out my lock-picking gear, I slowly and carefully picked the lab door before hearing an excellent click, meaning I had unlocked it. Opening the door, we slipped into the room before closing it behind us as we didn't want any uninvited guest biting us. As we rummaged through the room as quietly as we could, we luckily found the right medical stuff we had come looking for.

We quickly and carefully started to leave the school with the objective achieved till we heard someone bash a window out and enter the school from somewhere. Looking at Bobby, I signaled we needed to move now; no more being quiet may cost us our lives. Thus we started sprinting through the halls to our entry point when the sounds of gunfire went off, followed by screams and what sounded like doors being thrown open violently. As we burst through the doors we had entered from, I took one look behind us to see a group of undead scarily navigating the halls after us like experts. Pushing Bobby on ahead, I looked towards one of the walkers and mumbled something trying to command it since Necromancer said I could influence the dead here somewhat.

"Attack your friends."

When I had finished this command, a walker in the middle of the group grabbed one on the left by the head and shoved its head into a locker with a loud bang before eating them. The others momentarily looked back at the lone walker that suddenly acted out and snarled at them before continuing on as it pinned their friend and ate them still. Seeing that my command had worked, I focused on two more walkers before giving out another one.

"You two are strong; you two hunger for your friend's flesh."

With that, two more acted out with inhuman strength as nothing is limiting their body's functions anymore. Two from the front turned around and swung their arms violently into the bunch behind them; with a cracking sound, heads got busted in as their arms were destroyed due to rotting and suddenly getting violent. Turning forward once more, I caught up with Bobby after having a nice little experiment with one of my skills; he was out of breath but alive. Frankly, that was all that mattered to me right now; we got the shit, Bobby is alive, and we get to save a kid from dying tonight. Getting into the car while Daryl and Merle cleared away some bodies from the area we headed back to the farm.
