"Alright that should take care of them, follow me, I'll show you two why I decided to go home." They are both silent, curious on what I'm about to show them, they just look at each other and follow me silently.

Walking inside the house, "Hey Souta… Why are we in your father's room?" Amy asked, she probably find it weird.

"Hmm, here… probably here…" I keep stepping on the wooden floor, then, "oh, here" I took out a piece of wood, reaveling a handle on the floor, I then pull the handle reaveling a stairs leading downstairs.

"Follow me" it's pitch black inside, it's an underground basement after all, it's also cold, and has lot of dust, you can tell that this place have not been opened in the past few years.

I turned on the lights, switching the power button, revealing a small hunting lodge gun room, filled with hunting weapons. Shotguns, Pistols, Snipers, rifles, Bow, crossbow, traps, and other tools.

They are also many displays of animals, such as bear rug, dear, and other many animals. It's an ideal room to have as a hunter.

The two were speechless, "what… you have something like this in your house?" Amy asked can't believe what she's seeing.

"You two know who my father is, he's from the military, we used to hunt when I was still a kid, that's the reason why I know how to use a gun" I explained, feeling proud.

"So this is the reason why you and your family visit here in the country side?" Steff said as she look close on the weapons.

"Know everything makes sense! For someone who is rich as you to visit in a countryside!" Amy exclaimed.

"Yeah… anyways of that, let's take all these weapons with us, also, wear these, this are a black bullet proof vest, you two should wear it" handing it to Amy

"Eh? How about you?" Amy asked

"It's fine, I know what I'm doing, besides if we have a good loot, we'll probably take another bullet proof vest"

"…" Amy got silent feeing guilty, "it's fine, really, take it, it's also for me to keep you two safe at all times" I smiled and give it to her. She take it, having no choice… "Thank you.." she said

"Hey Steff, you've been staring at those guns for a while now, you can choose what you want to take, you too Amy, chose your weapons that suits you"

"Okay…"

Amy chooses a hunting rifle the hunting, Ruger Gunsite Scout Rifle, it already has a suppressor, after all hunting in silence is the key to not let the animals run, also adding a suppressor can reduce the noise signature of each shot, which is advantageous in a zombie apocalypse scenario like this, for avoiding attracting unnecessary attention.

She also has a pistol that has a suppressor attached to it, as for Steff, she have to pick either a shotgun or a hunting rifle, those are the choices after all, she have no choice but to pick a hunting rifle as well, because shotgun has a very high recoil after all, as someone's first time in using guns, that's a disadvantage to have.

While I, have the AK 47 that my father left behind. In a zombie apocalypse scenario, a modified AK-47 could be adapted for improved performance and versatility, it's a luck for me to have these features that my father left behind.

The AK-47 features an adjustable stock for enhanced maneuverability, an optics mount for improved accuracy with red dot sights, an upgraded grip for better control and reduced fatigue, a muzzle brake for recoil reduction during rapid firing, an extended rail system for attaching lights, lasers, and foregrips, ambidextrous controls for user-friendly operation with both hands, an efficient magazine release for quick changes, suppressor compatibility with a threaded barrel for reduced noise, a durable finish that is corrosion-resistant for harsh conditions, and an upgraded trigger for enhanced accuracy and control.

With all these weapons, and a month's worth of food, we'll survive this apocalypse! I teach them how to use guns, we also tried firing it as it has suppressors.

They are just the same to be honest. With a month's worth of carefully rationed food and our modified weapons at hand, I begin imparting basic firearm training to the group.

I emphasize the importance of firearm safety, proper stance, and accurate aiming. As the echo of gunshots fills the air, we adapt to the suppressed sounds, realizing the advantage of reduced noise in a world where every sound could attract unwanted attention.

The training sessions strengthen our cohesion, transforming a group of individuals into a team prepared to face the challenges ahead. We drill tactical movements, practice reloading under pressure, and discuss strategies for navigating through zombie-infested areas.

As the sun sets on another day in this apocalyptic landscape, our group feels a newfound sense of readiness. Armed, trained, and supplied, we stand united against the ever-present threat. Little do we know, the real test of our survival skills is just beginning, as the darkness ushers in a myriad of uncertainties in this changed world.

We're now ready to move, our plan is to go to the mountains! There is a house there that I know who owned, we can stay there until we fully trained ourselves to become a better version of ourselves.

We walk to the back gate, silently moving our way through the highway, we killed the zombies roaming around here yesterday as target practice, now there are only some of them that lingers around, we killed those zombies that are nearby silently with our new weapons, walking towards the highway in early in the morning, crouching and steadily moving, My eyes are in the front, Amy is covering the left and and up, while Steff covers the right and our back.

As we swiftly move forward, we manage to get out the highway and went to the houses, this is a familiar place as we three live in this area, we know the places to go, with some zombies who noticed us, we easily killed it, it becomes easier than yesterday because of these new weapons.

After half an hour walk, we manage to arive in the highway, this time, this highway leads towards the mountains, with sheer determination, we walk passed the road filled with broken cars, the path is 6 km long towards the mountains, with our pace fast and steady we manage to successfully got into the mountains in half an hour!

We're now resting bellow a tree inside the mountains, "Ahhhh!! That was an intense hour! Finally We're doneeeee" Amy shouted in a bliss,

"Amy, you might attract unwanted attention if you keep shouting like that" Steff said while standing and looking around, she's a worry wart after all.

"Calm down Steff, those zombies aren't even near here"

I finished drinking my bottled of water and sat down, and said, "Stop fighting you two, let's just be glad that we manage to get away from the town" These two are fighting again, a serious Steff and a Carefree Amy, these two always fight like this, maybe they calmed down from those things knowing about the guns give them hope after all.

"Oh yeah, Souta, I've been curious, what place are you gonna take us?" Amy asked, changing the topic

"I'm also curious.." Steff also asked.

"You two really aren't the type who wants surprises, well it's not like it's a secret anyways, we're going to this large house, a mansion to be price"

"A mansion??" Amy asked again getting closer to me, I can also feel the same way for Steff..

"Yes, a mansion, I know the owner of the mansion, he's an old man that my father know, we used to go there, and I also got close to him because I always jogged around here"

I explain, the anticipation in their eyes mirrored by my own excitement.

"The mansion is secluded, surrounded by dense woods. It's not only spacious but also fortified, making it an ideal sanctuary in these uncertain times. The old man, Mr. Haruki, is a family friend with a penchant for preparedness. He's turned the mansion into a self-sufficient haven with its own power source and ample supplies."

Amy's eyes widen, absorbing the details. "A fortified mansion in the mountains? Sounds like the perfect hideout."

Steff nods in agreement, "Better than navigating these zombie-infested streets. When do we leave?"

"We should be able to go there now, you two seems excited after all" I giggled, they look like a kid aftee I showed them a toy.
