Working under a leader in a post-apocalyptic world

I was living with a group in a post apocalyptic world, and the leader of our group was a big buff guy who had very... aggressive tendencies. He typically killed those who didn’t do well at their jobs. The world outside was very desert like and we lived within the fenced enclosure of some kind of base thing. There were like mutant kind of people outside so it was a little dangerous. So one day, we’re exploring a part of the base we hadn’t been to, and it was very dark and there were a couple of rooms to the side with the possibility of having zombies in so we had to be quiet. But one of the guys screwed up, and the leader guy cursed him out and told me to unlock the door so we could get out before the mutants got to us. The problem was that I was newly made as the leaders secretary kind of thing, and I didn’t know all the codes yet. I asked him for the password, petrified because I should know and he could kill me for not knowing. But he told me the numbers (there were at least 12 numbers) and put them in. The thing is, I screwed up quite a bit, still being new, but the leader didn’t really get mad at me much. He didn’t even threaten to kill me which was good. One day, while we were on the roof of our base, a helicopter started flying over head and we didn’t know what it was for, so the leader made me shoot it down. I wasn’t familiar with the launcher, and it was sort of a tracking one, sort of not. So I was shooting and missing, and some would lock on to the helicopter yet still miss. Eventually I shot one down and the leader seemed very impressed, despite me sucking. The dream ended with a group of ya venturing out in to the desert to look for something. We hadn’t done it before because there are these huge dangerous animals which will kill you given the chance.
