'Eyes on the ball Rika... we cannot afford to be taking today off for no reason at all... especially with those kids across the road that could hold all the answers to my questions...'

Rika prepared herself mentally and physically as she was mere minutes away from exiting the building, she had been staying in for almost a week now, she had been keeping tabs on the students living across the road from her, which meant she had to be nearby for ninety percent of the time, save for a few times where Rika ran out of supplies and had to run into the heart of the city on her own.

Rika was capable enough to look after herself in the newly formed world she was currently living in at the moment, it didn't stop her from thinking about the idea of creating allies though, it would be a benefit to her and the other's greatly.

Rika's mind did cross over the thought of having the students from Fujimi high school as her allies for now, she knew how hard it must have been to get by and she knew how much more of a chance they could stand with more numbers against the endless hordes of zombies.

'What is useful... what do I need to deal with these irritating enemies that will indeed cause me problems in the next few days...'

Rika placed the palm of her left hand on her chin as she thought to herself as she looked at the stuff around the spacious room, the tanned woman couldn't make her mind up with what to take with her. To Rika, there was several items she considered taking for her own benefit, like her sniper rifle for example.

The Barrett M82A1, a weapon RIka was well known to using whilst she was in the military, reason being that Rika's aiming whilst she spent her days in the military, was one of the best within her camp. What made it better for Rika was the Barrett being 'Recoil Operated', she was used to dealing with weapons of that calibre.

'The Barret M82A1... A weapon standardized by the military huh...me and this baby have a lot of memories together... Hmmm, I'll take it! I need to stick to my strengths, sniping from a far maybe could be something I need to do.'

Earlier, Rika had moved her sniper from the boarded-up window as she placed multiple items on her bed, in preparation to now, where she had to decide what to take. Currently, Rika lurked over the bed as she had placed multiple weapons and different day to day items she needed, such as the various amounts of clothing placed into a neat pile.

Next to the bed, was a duffle bag with enough space to fit a big amount of stuff within it, Rika was well aware that she had to choose her items carefully as she could end up regretting it in no time. It still did not stop Rika from thinking about bringing the 'lesser' items she had within the room, such as, the bed sheets she had gotten so used to, the many books she had scattered across the room as she spent her free time reading and etc.

'I can always come back for these items if I have to... I cannot believe I am about to think about this but everything in here is all I need for a home... if only it was this simple to stay here and survive for the rest of time.'

Rika let out a sigh of frustration as she let herself go on auto pilot as she grabbed random things to place within the bag, firstly, Rika grabbed the various different clothing's, such as, T-shirts, Trousers, Jackets, bullet proof vest and undergarments.

Of course, instead of making a mess, Rika made sure to carefully fold the clothes up and keep them in a neat pile beforehand, Rika was well aware of maximising the amount of space she could use within the duffle bag.
