It didn’t take long before our radios buzzed.

[Are you guys doing okay?! Those were grenades, right?!]

“Yeah, all taken care of! Keep on shooting and make the borders larger!”
*bzzt*

*bzzt*
[Okay! What floor are you guys on?]

“We’re on the 6th floor but your dad and Ibarra are still on the 7th checking the rooms. I’ll call you once we’re done! Keep shooting!”

[Okay, gotcha!]

“Watch out for the ferals! One was chilling in one of the floors earlier, make them the priority if one appears!”

[Yeah, we already put down a couple after the explosion but Jared’s been watching out for more. Stay safe!]

It took us only a few minutes of completely clearing floors 8th to 6th but I just kept guard on the stairwell that would lead to the 5th floor. It was because of the noise I made, the dead outside and below got riled up even more and they were heading for us. The only way for them to stop was to build our own wall outside by using their bodies while clearing every single one of them in this love hotel.
Matthew and Ibarra eventually joined us and they approached the stairwell while Tatiana and I went for the elevator shaft once more. We discovered that the feral came busting through the elevator roof, partly destroying it while bits of its own body got scr.a.p.ed off of it. However, we could see a few deadheads through the hole it made, making the elevator shake due to the weight acc.u.mulating inside of it.
We paid careful attention to it but we finally pried open the oozing door then taking proper measures to what might come from the other side.
“AaarchcGHGGckaarreeaa~”
As soon as the door was fully opened two deadheads stuck to each other by their open chest cavity fell down on the elevator car below along with a few deadheads that were ejected by being so cramped inside that hallway. I pulled out my Taurus TX-22 and I shot each one while Tatiana was waiting for the right opportunity to jump in. The two of us were hearing the three on the stairwell making some headway but we couldn’t stay in that position for an extended period of time.
“Create a small one.” I said to Tatiana.
“Okay, I’ll go first.” Tatiana replied as she pulled out her FN Five-Seven.
Tatiana made multiple shots at an angle towards the deadheads on the opposite side of where she was at and the bodies started falling one after the other, creating a small wall of the dead. There were a few that would fall through the shaft but it was my job to take care of them if they were still alive and kicking. However, I checked the cables of the elevator and as more bodies were falling down, the sheer weight of those deadheads would make the elevator come crashing down.
“Hurry, it could only take a few more and this old design of this elevator might make it fall sooner!” I reminded Tatiana because she was taking careful shots.
“No, it’s okay now! COMING IN!!!” Tatiana exclaimed as she was the first one to jump inside.
“GO AHEAD!!!” Matthew shouted as they stopped firing.
I quickly followed Tatiana and I saw her mow down three bodies on the opposite side of the wall she made. The wall wasn’t perfect but it served its purpose by making us have a surgical entry between the dead. I unloaded everything from my .22 pistol on the deadheads on the side of the ruined stairwell but as soon as 8 bodies dropped, I joined Tatiana with clearing the rest of the bodies at the end of the hallway.
Tatiana drew used her bastard sword to decapitate the closest one wearing nothing but an apron then she stabbed one right behind it wearing this love hotel’s uniform. It made a large hole in its eye and its face was now perfect for a f.u.c.k.i.n.g eyepatch. There were a dozen more in front of her but I shot half of them down after placing in a fresh magazine to my .22 pistol.
“I GOT THIS!” Tatiana exclaimed.
“I’LL CHECK THE ROOMS THEN!” I shouted back.
I just caught a glimpse of Mikhail coming down with Ibarra when I kicked down the first door in front of me. The smell of decay immediately assaulted my nose so I jumped inside with my katana drawn. On the bed was another businessman only wearing its tie but it was tied to the bedposts, missing the rest of its chest cavity.
Right beside it was several entertainers wearing part of its suit but their skin was about to fall off. The entertainers made a feast of the businessman which was tied up but judging from their arms and their fingers, they soon started to eat themselves due to having nothing else to sink their teeth onto.
The entertainers immediately went for me as the businessman snarled and tried to get up but I held my katana with both hands and dealt strikes with more power, slicing their bodies in half. I stabbed their heads after a quick brandish and I finished the businessman by sinking my blade a few inches through its ear.
“HERE’S~ JOHNNY~” I suddenly heard Mikhail’s voice then I heard a door being ripped to shreds.
‘This f.u.c.ker finally watched it!’ I celebrated inwardly.
I wanted to clap so bad because he was also grinning when he saw me but I prioritized kicking the door on the opposite side of the room first. It was vacant and still had fresh sheets and towels so I moved into the next one. Ibarra and Matthew continued to fire at the ones coming from the stairwell but it seemed that the deadheads coming for us started to slow down.
I picked up my radio to call Kaley.

*bzzt*
“You guys made a wall already?”
*bzzt*
–
*bzzt*
[It isn’t perfect but it’s high enough! We just need to polish it on the corners!]

*bzzt*
“Great job! We’ll clear the floors soon!”
*bzzt*

Tatiana had already gone through the other rooms and most of them were just locked on this floor. This time, we methodically cleared the floors right until the first one because the first floor was packed with the dead, even the stairwell leading to it. Since clearing them on the same floor would be stupid, we decided to lure them towards the 2nd and 3rd floors so we could clear them by batches and we could slightly pile them over the edges Kaley was talking about.
It took five repetitions to clear the first floor and the last batch of the dead were placed with the deadheads outside to act as doorstops. After that, we made the shooting group stop shooting for a while so the ones that got attracted by the noise would head elsewhere for the moment so we could catch a small breather. However, what they did was the same thing I did earlier, they shot anything outside a few meters so the deadheads would get attracted to that area instead.
“Mikhail, carry me.” I said to Mikhail, much to his confusion.
“Wut?” Mikhail looked at me for more confirmation.
“Just freaking carry me, I want to see if there are any spots this wall is weak at.” I replied.
“Okay, Boss…” Mikhail still thought I was joking but I soon climbed onto his shoulders.
“You two look f.u.c.k.i.n.g stupid, hah!” Matthew started laughing while Tatiana and Ibarra were shaking their heads in amus.e.m.e.nt.
“Heh, as long as it works, it isn’t stupid~” I chuckled as I surveyed the area.
I saw the wall the shooting group made and it looked like a half-circle speedbump about 8 feet in height, situated around the entrance of the love hotel. We piled a few stray bodies to add to the height of it but we still barricaded the entrance door with the furniture located around the area along with the windows a feral could easily climb onto. We did the same process until the 4th floor just to be sure and that was when we all gathered on the roof.
“Phew~ Okay, let’s take a short rest then we leave some people here while we check each room and the storage area for supplies. I already found a vending machine below but we need to check their storage areas.” I said to the group.
“I’ll continue barricading the windows just to be sure but after we’re done scouring the place, we need to lockdown each floor, the elevator shaft, and maybe take the 8th floor for us.” Matthew stated.
“That’s okay, we’d be flying here a few times to block a path towards that universi- DDR Camp so there should be a place where we could not just safely shoot the ones from a distance, but a place that we could also have a short rest.” I replied.
“Umm, Sir, what do you mean by ‘block a path’?” Max asked.
“We’d make another wall that would completely block the deadheads from passing through this street. Once we do that, we could drive around to that DDR Camp and we could clear it with fewer zombies to take down. Well, we’d be clearing most of them in the coming days but it wouldn’t hurt to be extra sure. Don’t forget, the ones below easily number a few thousand.” I explained.
“Couldn’t we turn that DDR Camp into another outpost?” Ibarra asked.
“I don’t know yet. We’ll see once we get a closer look and once we made contact with the other group that’s a little shy. The DDR Camp back home is just a high school and a hospital meshed together, this one’s a university. We’d need more people to be in this place but I don’t want to lessen the soldiers guarding our main base. It’s quite far too but we’ll see. That DDR Camp getting overrun must have its own reason why it happened in the first place. Let’s just hope that it wasn’t caused by a weak spot in the building itself.” I replied.
