SOMETHING (en) √

Thirteen

Amber gave them one firearm for each of and bombs that could be used. They also got themselves a few melee weapons, in case anything happened. Did they know how to use it? No. But they still need to use it. Nowa and Allan also just see all of these in the games that they played. It's different. They know the type of the weapons but not how to handle it.

"We have a shooting room down here. Don't worry, the creatures won't listen to it. Let's try it first," Amber said.

"We never know how to use it. This is not in a game," Nowa said.

"It's fine. I know perfectly how. Come on."

Amber led them to the shooting room. As soon as they arrived, Amber started to tell them about the components of each of them. Amber showed them something like the barrel, hand guard, extended clip, magazines, trigger and trigger guard. She also made sure that everyone recognized the bullets that were used for the firearms that they chose. Most of them are holding submachine guns.

"Are you confident about the firearms that you are holding now? Make sure it's comfortable," Amber said.

Most of them nodded their heads, except Mike. He seems reluctant.

"What's wrong?", Daniel asked him.

"What if I accidentally shoot any of you?", he asked everyone.

"That's why I tell you about the trigger guard. Pull it when you're not using the firearms," Amber said while patting his shoulder.

Daniel gives him his reassuring smile. Making sure that Mike will trust himself.

"Don't worry. We'll be alright," Daniel said.

Mike nodded. The rest of them entered the shooting room. Amber ordered them to use the earphones for only a while and pull them off after that. They can't use the earphones forever after all. The firearms are heavy, indeed. And for the girls to get used to it, it will take longer than the boys.

"It's so heavy," Bella said.

"I feel the same way," Nowa replied.

"You'll get used to it. That's also my reaction before. And Bella, the one you're holding right now is a 2.4-kilogram PMX," Amber said.

"Oh... 2.4."

Bang Bang Bang!!!

The shock that they get once they begin shooting causes them to throw their own body away. The bullet ended up flying everywhere!

"Oh shot! Stop it!", Amber said once she saw it happen.

They're all clueless about what just happened. Their whole body is now shaking from the impact. Amber slapped her forehead.

"I lost trust in myself," Nowa said.

"Yeah, me neither," Bella replied.

They looked at each other scaredy-cat faces before finally laughing at how dumb they looked right now. They slowly get up, patting each other before trying again.

^^^^^

It's about lunchtime now. They wasted most of their time practising until Amber thought that it was enough. It's only a few hours of practising so the word 'perfection' won't exist. It's enough to manage the bounce back of the firearms.

"Are you guys feeling okay with it?", Amber asked.

"Dude, my whole body is shaking like crazy!", Daniel said.

"You'll get used to it. You need to," Amber rubbed his back.

"Allan?", Amber asked him.

"I'm good."

When they were practising, Nowa noticed something with Allan. His eyes. It's full of hatred. And it's worrying her, to be honest. Each of the targets that he shoots, it's like he's really aiming for those creatures out there.

"For Nowa, Bella, Daniel, Allan and I. We're using a 9x19 mm Parabellum. We can fit each other's bullets so we can share if any of us run out of it. But as for Mike, you're using QCW05 which requires 5.8x21 mm. If you're out of it, change to the Glock that we all have," Amber said.

"Okay," Mika replied.

"They're few cars outside. I'll try to take one. Cover me," Amber said.

They nodded. All of them head back to the main entrance. Daniel is helping with checking the situation out there.

"There's an Alza out there. Just right in front of this shop. I think the door is unlocked," he said.

"Are there any of the creatures?", Amber asked.

"I don't see any."

Amber slowly walked outside the shop with Daniel following her back. Both of them are now hiding behind the car. Nowa and Allan hide behind one of the cars that are closer to the shop, just to keep them company. Mike and Bella stay inside the shop, looking far behind Amber and Daniel. They keep their eyes, ears and nose open.

Daniel gives a thumbs-up signal. Signalling that nothing is around them. Nowa, who sees the signal, passes it to Mike and Bella. The door is really unlocked, making it easier for Amber to do her work. They saw Amber entering the car. A few minutes later, the car engine is on! Amber and Daniel get back to them.

"Let's take as much as ammo before leaving," Amber said.

They put their ammunition in the bag that Amber provided for each of them. She also gave them a vast, just in case.

"Let's go. I'll be driving," Daniel said.

They entered the car, shutting the door before Daniel drove it away from this area. They're now heading to Kajang. Amber also handed them a walkie-talkie. They'll be needing it sooner or later.

^^^^^

They didn't say anything along the drive away. Everyone is so focused on their surroundings. Yes, they're inside the car but the one who hurt Maya at the airport before could suddenly jump into them.

"Should we stop anywhere to get something to eat? Whatever it is, we can't survive with an empty stomach," Amber asked.

"I think we should. There's a supermarket around here if I'm not mistaken," Nowa said.

They all agreed to stop by the supermarket. Daniel stops the car right in front of the green supermarket. The supermarket is so dark. Only the sun could help them.

"Let's split into two groups. It can make it easier to grab everything faster. We'll be needing some food and medication. Along the time, change your clothes to something more comfortable," Amber said.

"You really came prepared for anything like this," Bella said.

"My dad was a soldier after all."

They split. Nowa, Bella and Allan will be filling the medication. Amber, Daniel and Mike will be filling for the food. Once they enter the supermarket, they go their own way, finding all the stuff that is needed.
