-Shit! Shit! Shit! - The captain was furious, how could this happen? As soon as he saw the sword, he was already sure that this sword was in his hands, he just gave this bum the opportunity to stay alive, so he offered a deal.

In any case, he was sure that if he refused, his guys would stuff him with lead and nothing would help him. But in the end he screwed everything up, he had never seen such defense skills and did not imagine that this was possible.

He was sent to this godforsaken place precisely because there were rumors that the Reaper was seen in this city, the government would not waste resources for this wretched camp of 3 thousand souls, at most they would send an escort to transport residents to one of the government camps, and that's not a fact.

All the same, after the catastrophe, little was left of the government, so now, power is in the hands of those who have a stronger fist, and these people, of course, will not waste their resources without good reason. Questions of morality and justice are increasingly fading into the background.

But still, he was sent here personally by the general and he was even provided with some weapons to support this camp, and all in order for him to clarify the information, and ideally return the weapon, and yet, he just successfully fucked up his mission.

- Morris! What the hell are you doing !?

During the shooting, the guard who handed Sam the sword was in the line of fire, by some miracle he remained intact, apparently managed to bend down and now, he was lying on the ground in horror, not understanding why he was almost killed.

- This is the business of the government George, I need you to spread the word in the camp that any information about this person will be awarded a solid reward.

Morris knew that there are people who know the address of this bum, but he only took 2 fighters with him, and although he was angry and wanted to complete this mission, he did not wanted to risk his own life for it.

Not only is there a bunch of critters in the city, but this bum is also most likely level 10, otherwise he would not be able to survive today, he just had to report everything to the top as it is.

Sam continued to move, pondering the situation. First, he had to read this government booklet, and then he would decide what to do next.

You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.

Somewhere in an hour, passing by one of the residential buildings, he heard a cry for help, coming closer, he asked for the apartment number and the intercom, after which he entered the building, cleaned the zombies along the way and rang the doorbell.

The door was opened by an old woman of about 80 years old, probably because she did not look good.

- Thank God, young man! I haven't eaten since yesterday, do you have anything to eat?

Sam was surprised, three and a half months had passed since the disaster, and he doubted that this old woman left her apartment, how did she even survive? Although he, nevertheless, was not so interested to ask.

If it were a beautiful busty woman, Sam would certainly have taken an interest in her affairs, and perhaps tried to show sympathy or even help, but he had no time to waste on this old woman.

- Granny, give me the keys to the apartment and you will get food.

Apparently she was too hungry to argue, she gave him the keys, he left the apartment and started pounding the neighbors' door, opening the doors, he cleaned the apartment, and then returned.

- Everything is done granny, the neighboring apartment is open, I killed the zombies there, so it's safe there, go look for food there.

He pushed grandma into the next apartment, and closed the door behind him with a key to calmly read the booklet. Given his awful mood, he had done more than enough for her. Sam lay down on the sofa and began reading.

Firstly, the first week, like the whole world, the government was in chaos, but about a week later, General Jack Meyers established martial law and began to deploy a camp in the capital of the country, city A, how many people he beheaded in the process, of course, is not indicated ...

Gradually, camps appeared in other cities, and the government established contacts, and took them under its wing, one by one. There are government camps in cities B, C, D, F. At least that's what the booklet said.

Obviously, there are also quite a few other camps, large and small, with which the "Connection" has not yet been established. Of course Sam was sure the general was working on it.

The government also refurbished one of the factories and they produced swords and shields, given the two meter limit, which is quite a logical move. Also, all people over 13 years old were supposed to undergo training and in the future participate in zombie cleansing, not for officials to do this? They probably have better things to do. For example, they are probably actively working on solving demographic problems, because of the disaster, the population has fallen sharply, and now all the hope is on officials to fix.

Also, the government provided various benefits, bonuses and payments, depending on the level of the person, people from 1 to 4 of the level received the minimum ration, people of the 5th and above already received many privileges, and so on. Obviously, 10x levels are still very few, but they were finally promised mountains of gold.

Well, in their place, Sam would also offer mountains of gold, because the main thing is that they bring him a candidate, he would immediately shoot off his legs, after which he would kill him and become much stronger. Sam even thought about it seriously, can he become an official? But he still discarded these thoughts, he did not have enough brains. An official's work is not easy, the complexity of their work can be compared with realtors or janitors, it seems relatively simple, but Sam will not handle such a job.
