Chapter 10 Caroline Escarte
The door was cracked all over the place, but it was still holding the forte
-BAM!
I hit the doorknob as hard as I could, breaking it from the inside out.
I gulped a little before proceeding to open the door and sweat was already pouring all over my face.
'As I thought. Something is leaned against the door. Given how much time the door withstood the zombies' attacks, It was obvious, I suppose,' I thought, as I began pushing the door with as much strength as possible.
'Heavy!' I thought as I kept applying more and more pressure before the door finally began opening.
The door opened up a little, and I found all the furniture pressed behind it. Even still, I kept pushing it until the door opened enough to let me through.
When there was enough gap, I moved inside the guest room, and what I found dumbfounded me.
'She' was there, sleeping in the corner of the room. That girl, Caroline Escarte, was sleeping in my guest room.
She was the same girl that had a crush on me. The same girl because of whom 'that' person gave me an HIV injection.
'Were you here to pity me?' I thought with a sad expression before I moved closer to her. I noticed that her health did not seem good and there was a tired expression on her face despite her being unconscious.
'How long before she wakes up?'
[99+ hours]
I saw the screen but rather than getting shocked; I thought again.
'How long before she wakes up, if I take care of her to the best of my ability?'
[3 hours: 32minutes: 47 seconds]
I nodded at that before proceeding to move out of the guest room. She is probably exhausted and hungry, more importantly thirsty.
People can survive without food for 3 weeks, but without water. The max that they can hold out is 3 days.
'And given how much time has passed, along with all the hard work and sweating she might have done.'
I need to get her some water from the kitchen before using the medical drip to hydrate her. I think I have some equipment in my almeera.

'They must have heard the commotion I created when I took the other zombies down,' I thought before turning to Caroline.
'If I leave her here on her own, how long before she dies?'
[13 hours: 14 minutes: 14 seconds]
I then stepped out of the room and looked at the entrance door as I wondered until when the door would remain untouched.
[45minutes: 12seconds]
Looking at that, I moved back into the guest room and began removing all the furniture from the door front.
Once I was done with that, I picked up Caroline and began moving towards the living room.
I saw the doorknob of the master bedroom was broken, and the gate was open. The balcony gate was broken into pieces as well.
'Must have been those zombies,' I thought before proceeding to lay Caroline on the bed in the master bedroom.
'Setting up the drip should take 5 minutes, give or take and if I put an ORS solution, I can probably help her wake up faster. Killing the zombies outside while leaving her here isn't the right option either. I guess I should farm some Exp using the heavy objects from the house,' I thought before proceeding to set up a medical drip using makeshift equipment.
Once I was done with setting up everything, I let the drip ORS solution flow into Caroline's veins and immediately proceeded to take out all the heavy objects within the house and…
[Ding!]
[You have killed an E-Grade Zombie]
[You have gained +50Exp]
[Ding!]
[You have killed a Lesser E-Grade Zombie]

[You have gained +25 Exp]
I threw multiple objects but I could only get 3 zombies.
I noticed that time was also almost up, so I cautiously proceeded to move inside the master bedroom, where I used whatever I could to block the gate. I had already kept the kitchen knife and other smaller sharp objects within the bedroom
The zombies' number was high, but only a few should be able to stand against the gate. The other zombies would either be standing, or trying to move forward behind the ones in the front.
I got a few old filled suitcases along with a sturdy table and a bunch of clothes and other stuff, placed it in front of the gate.
'How long?'
[2 hours: 12 minutes]
With the gate already broken once, I guess this is how much time I can make it last. I then looked at Caroline sleeping and sighed before covering her with a blanket.
'If I push myself against the door as well, I wonder how long I will be able to hold out,' I thought as I proceeded to reshift the objects to make some space for myself and sit against the door.
[5 hours: 34 minutes]
I then put another point in Strength and one more in Constitution
[8 hours: 23 minutes]
'This should be enough for now…'
-Bang!
-Bang!
-Bang!
'The guests are here, huh? Aren't they energetic?' I thought before, once again I saw the time passing slowly and slowly as I held my life on the line again for the 5th time today.
