Ian stood up and turned to the door, the banging had stopped for now. He was silent contemplating his next move carefully.
After a what looked like a minute, Mark broke the silence.
"Sir, any mission for us," Ian whose mind had gone wondering about was pulled back to the real world. "Well our mission is to clear the whole building from up down, do you have any strategy we could use."
"From what I see sir, we can first clear the 100th floor then set up camp since we can't operate from the roof top." Mark said when he saw his commander attentively listening to his idea.
"There's only six of us so will have to be careful not to call a hord on us."
Ian was very sure he wasn't dealing with just zombies, the sky was too silent, no birds nothing came to site. Considering he was on top of the highest building in the city. He was pretty sure there was a possibility of fliers and if that was right then they'll be sitting ducks here.
Since the other five were equipped with M4A1 carbine, he went ahead and bought 20 clips for 1000 coins and gave them 4 each, he had bought another 20clips earlier on so he gave an additional 2 remaining with to.
They loaded there weapons and after confirmation, it was time to move out.
"Radio check, what's your call sign sir, Mark the captain asked,"
"Mmh, how about eagle and eagle actual when in command." Ian said after thinking through.
"Eagle actual will do sir."
"You guys will be team alpha with you Mark as Alpha 1, John Alpha 2, Connor Alpha 3 and Smith Alpha 4 and Carter Alpha 5."
"Copy that eagle actual, preparing to breach the roof access door, breaching in 3...2...1."
Bang!! The door was forced open, the zombies at the door turned around ready to pounce on the the team.
"Contact, contact called out Mark on the radio."
"Weapons free," Ian gave the order.
Mark who was leading the team opened fire and the group of zombies was taken down clearing the stairwell.
They moved down in formation, the zombies in the hallway had heard the gunshots and were now moving today the team.
"Alpha one, take alpha 2 and 3 and move along the left wall I will take the right with alpha 4 and 5, let's clean them the hallway first before cleaning the rooms."
Ian and his team moved through the hallway taking out the zombies crowded along the way.
They could here banging on some of the doors as the passed shooting down zombie after zombie.
After about 2 hours the whole 100th floor hallway was cleared. Ian was tired sat down to take a rest. The others were androids so they never got tired, they just sat down to check on there ammo before moving to room clearing.
Ian pulled up his status to check on there progress.

All those zombies and I only get this little experience and coins, Ian was frustrated, it was like he was being scammed, the job and the gains don't match at all.
"Hey system do you mind telling me why I got the exp rewards is sky high and coins low for killing all those zombies."
"So like am supposed to gain 20 exp and 250 coins for each kill"
"So all this will reset once am back on Earth ."
While he was still contemplating and thinking about what he should do, his team had already cleared the rooms finding 15 survivors and killing another batch of zombies.
The hundredth floor was now cleared, he told the survivors go back to their rooms and leave only after 7 days have passed, supplies could be taken from the other rooms since the whole floor was safe.
I have to move fast if am to clear this place within 7 days, today is day one so I have to clear about 10 floors to be on the safe side. I also saw the system had opened another fuction.
The host can now summon military personnel to help him as he tries to survive and save lives during the apocalypse, troops summoned will be loyal only to you. Since they are your soldiers you will be responsible for their meals, gear, clothing and accomodations.
The summons will come with standard military gear and the host will be responsible for arming them hence the need for more coins.

Since he was up against time, Ian went ahead and summoned 10 special forces operatives. Infront of him the hallway a circle formed on the floor and ten soldiers appeared as if teleported from god knows where.
As soon as they appeared the gave him a salute and waited for his instructions.
"At ease, you all know why you are here so I'll be direct, we are currently on the 100th floor and have six days to clear to the ground floor."
The alpha team is currently crearing the 99th floor, you will join the as reinforcement to expedite the cleaning time. You will move in teams of five so I need two of you to be team leaders."
Two soldiers moved forward, one male, his appearance in the mid 20s and the other a lady also in mid 20s.
"Good you will be Carlos and you will lead team bravo while you will be Lisa and will take team beta any problems."
