Divide and conquer

"Okay, we got inside," Daniel remarked the moment Mathew joined the rest of the group. He then stretched his hands up before throwing a long glance at the hole they all used to get into the building. Only after a long while that was necessary to confirm no zombies managed to follow them, the officer turned his eyes towards Mathew. "Now, what?"

The young man only smiled in response before shaking his head.

"It's not me who you should be asking that," he stated before looking at Norbert. "Which way to the roof?"

"Straight through the main hall, then up the stairs, all the way to the top," Norbert replied. He had more than enough time to figure out all the necessary details of their incursion into the building before they even rushed inside. "That is if you don't mind going through the floor that the locals occupy," he then added, seeing how Mathew was ready to get going right away.

And his words successfully managed to stop the young man from rushing ahead.
