When Jiang Mi heard the commander’s words, she clenched her fists to control her anger for a moment before she said, "Commander, D area is the most dangerous area. Even when we mobilize all the soldiers we have, it’s impossible to clear the zombies in that area."
"I only have a total of seven people in my team. How do you expect me and my team to go to the hospital?" she asked.
Hearing this, the commander let out a sigh and said, "I know that this mission seems impossible, but I trust your team’s capability."
"Commander, this—"
Before she finished her words, the commander raised his hand to interrupt her and said, "Vice Captain Jiang, this is an order. You will have one day to prepare and depart tomorrow."
Knowing that this matter was settled, Jiang Mi stared at the commander coldly and left the office in heavy steps.
After leaving the office, Jiang Mi returned to her room and saw that her roommates were back from their missions. Seeing only two of her roommates who returned, she said nothing and went to her bed.
Unlike the survivors, the guards and soldiers were assigned to rooms with bunk beds. Each room has four bunk beds that could accommodate a total of eight people.
When they first came to this military base, her room was full. But with each passing day, the roommates who returned from the missions were getting fewer and fewer. Yesterday, there were still five people in this room. But now, there were only three people left.
Each of them were soldiers who experienced the loss of their team members. Just looking at her roommates’ expressions, Jiang Mi understood that their mission must not have been as smooth as hers.
When she was checking the supplies she brought back, the door of their room was opened and two guards entered. They went to pack the belongings from the empty beds and left with several boxes and backpacks.
Now that the beds are cleaned up, they might get new roommates soon. Thinking about the order she just received from the base commander, it seemed that her bed would soon be given to a new guard too.
While she was arranging her supplies, a large group of people were rioting at the area where the base generates electricity.
Standing in the large hall, one of the survivors shouted, "Where is the commander?! You promised to give us food and water as long as we work for you. But now that we have worked for so long, you not only didn’t give us any supplies but also forbade us to even contact our family!"
As soon as he said this, another survivor shouted, "If you don’t let us out, we will destroy these machines!"
When the guards heard this, they exchanged glances but said nothing.
