Chapter 17: Chapter 17: Fighting Luna
"Are there any other military camps besides this and the bunker area?"
Anik asked Holden.
"There are many military camps in this city. There are maybe 7 to 8 camps, including our camp and the bunker."
Holden said to Anik.
"Do we communicate with them?"
Anik asked Holden.
"Yeah, sometimes if we need anything and to exchange things."
"Why not group together?"
Anik asked Holden curiously.
"Because we lack enough human resources and big enough space to keep that many people together."
Holden said to Anik.
"Also, It will be difficult to protect and control that many people with so little resources. So, all military leaders divided their army and went to different places to make their base."
Ace added more to the conversation.
"Different leaders have different ideas to lead the military, so all leaders have disagreements and fall apart but still help each other and exchange goods."
Jonathan also added to the conversation.
"So, there are many factors leading to the separation of different leaders and the military."
Anik said to all of them. And they nodded.
After talking for a bit about the military, all started to eat ration which was cooked bean, water, and some bacon which was only given to the soldiers.
Following that, they started talking about types of guns, their pros, and cons etc. They talked about guns for 2 hours.
"OK, guys. Enough talk today. Sleep now."
Holden said to everyone.
Next, everyone was in their bed falling asleep.
-----------------------------------------------
IN THE MORNING/5:30 AM
"Wake up! Everyone, we have to go running."
Holden said to Anik, Jonathan and Ace.
One by one one wakes up even if they don't want to. First, they freshen up themselves follow Holden to the track and start running.
After 20 minutes, Anik was already tired and couldn't move his body, but Holden didn't give him any rest. Jonathan was teasing him, who was also a little tired, but not as much as Anik.
However, Ace and Holden were doing fine while running. They also see Luna coming towards them and she also starts running.
"Anik, I asked Sophia about you, and first she was angry but then said that it's ok to shoot the gun and spar lightly. However, She said if you come to the medical centre of injury then, you know what will happen?"
Luna said to Anik while running beside Anik.
Anik breathed a sigh of relief at first, but after hearing the last word. He didn't know what to do.
"Don't worry, I will stop her if anything goes wrong."
Luna said while running towards Ace and taunting him.
'Why is she so fixated on me? What did I do?'
Anik thought to himself while running with heavy breathing.
2 HOURS LATER
Anik was lying on the ground like a dead man and Jonathan was just lying down with a little heavy breathing but not as much as Anik. All three, Ace, Luna and Holden were fine. They stopped running because it was time for their training.
"Hey, Anik stand up, we are going to the bunker."
Jonathan said to Anik while helping him stand up.
After Anik hooped on the jeep barley, they went to the front gate and two soldiers hooped in like yesterday, and they went towards the bunker.
After reaching the bunker, they checked them first and then let them in.
"Now the training starts from the knife. Why is a knife important in this kind of environment? Ace."
Luna asked Ace.
"Because the knife is quiet and great for close-quarters combat against zombies and humans."
Ace said to Luna.
"Bingo. correct"
Luna said to Ace.
"From today, you are going to use KA-BAR which is the name of this knife in my hand. The KA-BAR is an excellent knife that is battle-tested and approved by multiple branches of the U.S. military.
There's a reason this knife is the go-to for many, as it can handle even the harshest conditions, is made to last, and is versatile enough to get many jobs done while out in the field.
The goal of a knife fight is to attack soft-body vital targets that are readily accessible, such as the face, the sides, in front of the neck, and the lower abdomen or groin. First neck.
Carotid arteries are good target areas because they are not covered by body armour or natural protection. Second, lower Abdomen or Groin.
Now, I will demonstrate the fight with the help of Ace. Pick off a knife and be in your fighting stance, Ace."
Luna told them while telling Ace to pick up the knife.
Ace picked off the knife and stood opposite Luna with a fighting stance.
"Are you ready?"
Luna asked Ace.
Ace just nodded and looked grave.
*Clank*
The sound of metal hitting was heard. Luna immediately attacked Ace, and she was pretty fast but was barely blocked by Ace's knife.
Ace tries to back off, but Luna doesn't give him any time. Luna tried to wide-slash him. However, Ace dodged that and attempted to constantly move around to not give any chance to Luna.
Luna just similes. She again ran towards him to attempt to stab him in the chest and Ace set out to block with his knife but got a punch in the face and lost his balance. And she hit his chest with the back of the knife.
"I won and that was a fake out. You have to be aware of your surroundings besides your narrow targets, do you understand? Don't worry, you did good for your 5th time."
Luna said to Ace.
"Yes"
Ace said and nodded.
"Now, Jonathan, in position."
Luna said to Jonathan.
Jonathan immediately picked up the knife and was ready in his fighting position.
"Ready?"
Lana said to Jonathan.
"Yes"
Jonathan said to Luna.
This time, Luna slowly moved towards Jonathan and Jonathan didn't know how to attack her or stand his ground. When Jonathan was in the range of Lana.
She tries to attack Jonathan's neck, but he tries to hold the knife-holding arm to stop the attack, but she hits him in the hand with the back of her knife.
Don't set out to block or hold the opponent's hand in a knife fight with your hand, but you can try with a knife to block. Try to dodge it from now on.
Jonathan nodded with pain in his hand. But the fight was not over. She again attacked him.
*Clank*clank*
This time he was able to block it with his knife. But that doesn't mean the attack will stop. Luna again attacks him, and this time the knife slips off Jonathan's hand.
*Thump*
"Oh my head"
Jonathan said while massaging his head.
Luna hit him with the back of her hand.
"You don't know how to grip a knife. Let me tell you how to grip your knife properly. There are types. The first is forward grip and the second is reverse grip, which you don't need now as a beginner.
Use forward grips which involve holding the knife by the grip, your fingers wrapped completely around, and the blade facing out from you, pointing straight up at the sky."
Jonathan nodded.
Like that Jonathan lost too many times that he lost count of it. After getting beaten off for 30 minutes. His turn was finally over, but he did learn numerous techniques.
"Anik your turn now."
Luna said to Anik.
Anik then picks off the knife and stands in his fighting position while gripping the knife.
"Ready?"
Anik nodded.
Luna instantly...
