Before setting off, Xu Shuhan suddenly grabbed Ling Mo, pleading, âDonât leave me behindâ¦â
Ling Mo felt a bit helpless. Given how timid this Zombie was, it wasnât suitable to leave her with the main groupâ¦
Wang Lin and Lan Lan also clamored to go, but were ultimately seriously refused by Ling Mo. Additionally, Ye Lian and the three girls were taken along because, according to Jason, the fuel was genuinely neededâ¦
Jason didnât have any objections to Ling Moâs decision, but he did look at Xu Shuhan with some curiosity. Her timid movements and the mask on her face made her quite conspicuous, so Jason couldnât help but glance a few more times. After that, his attention shifted to Ye Lian and the others, particularly Li Yalin.
âThis incredibly stunning âmixed-raceâ beauty is the Commanderâs sisterâ¦but her looks and personality seem a bit off⦠However, Ling-Ge is truly blessed. Three girls, all outstanding in appearance and temperament. Itâs hard enough to see one such person these days, yet he has three by his side⦠Within the entire Falcon, perhaps only Chief of Staff Su at the Camp can stand shoulder to shoulder with them,â Jason couldnât help but think.
The Oil Depot is located in Zone B, which is quite a distance from Zone A, where the Dormitory is situated. To be precise, Zone A is a relatively independent area.
When Jason took out the fuel canister from the Helicopter, he also loaded up some bullets, and even handed over two pistols to Ling Mo.
âOccasionally, Zombies or mutation beasts might appear over thereâ¦â Jason led the way while explaining the details of the area to Ling Mo. âHowever, no gunshots are allowed near the Oil Depot, so if those Monsters are spotted, itâs best to use gunfire to lure them to an open area. Weâre going to a deeper place this time, and if under normal circumstances, it might take about two hours, but this time we need speed. Iâm confident with Ling-Ge here, it should take no more than an hour.â
âBut why do we have to go deeper? And havenât you been using this Oil Depot for a while now? How come there are still Zombies?â Xia Na suddenly turned around and asked.
Xia Naâs question was exactly what Ling Mo wanted to ask. In every sense, he and these female Zombies seemed to be on the same wavelengthâ¦
Jason quickly gave Xia Na a friendly smile and replied, âThatâs indeed the case. But in the past, to bring back more fuel, the number of people sent was limited. Plus, due to the unique environment here, we havenât carried out a thorough cleanup operation. Another reason is that even after eliminating some, new Zombies keep appearing, including Infant Zombieâ¦â
âZone A was also discovered by us accidentally. But we never really thought it could come in handy, soâ¦â
When Jason got to this point, Ling Mo couldnât help but want to interrupt. Why had Yu Xuan suddenly decided to send them to such a place? But seeing that Jason had a lot more to say, Ling Mo just had to hold back. Besides, they were going to be here for a while, so getting to know the environment better was a good idea.
âThe reason for going deeper is because thereâs a special aviation fuel stored there. Thatâs also why we used it as the reason for this flight. If we were just going for regular fuel, we wouldnât have been granted this much time,â Jason said, suddenly looking serious. He gazed at Ling Mo and added, âLing-Ge, from my personal perspective, your timing in coming back couldnât have been better.â
Ling Mo paused for a moment, but after exchanging a few glances with Jason, he felt a stirring inside. âBe more specific,â he said.
âBut this matter has really been troubling the Commander. Although I havenât met the Commander in person, when Captain Tom came to give me the orders, he was clearly worried. To be honest, Iâm not fully clear on the situation, but I can tell you roughly what I know. However, before that, I need to relay a message to you.â
Jason hesitated briefly before cautiously reciting, âThe current situation is unclear. Until someone comes to pick you up, do not approach Falcon under any circumstances.â He exhaled and said, âThatâs it.â
âThe situation is unclearâ¦â Ling Mo pondered for a moment, frowning. âWho said this?â
âIâm not sure, but Captain Tom relayed it to me,â Jason answered honestly.
âWas it verbatim?â
âYes, word for word.â
âFrom the tone, it doesnât sound like Yuwen Xuan. It might be Zhang Yuâ¦â Ling Mo muttered to himself, then looked back at Jason. âYouâve delivered the message, so tell me about the Falcon situation. Why do you see things differently from them?â
âBecause⦠theyâre thinking for your sake, but Iâm more concerned about the Second Camp,â Jason replied with some difficulty, then quickly added, âLing-Ge, I hope you wonât be angry because of thisâ¦â
Ling Mo waved his hand dismissively, âI wonât. Itâs good that youâre straightforward. Go on.â
Jason immediately breathed a sigh of relief and displayed his usual simple and honest smile, though it quickly faded. âActually, the higher-ups are keeping this matter under wraps, but since we spend all our time there, weâve picked up some clues. I may understand a bit more because I recently visited the Main Camp. You might find it hard to believe, but the Main Campâs attitude toward our Second Camp has become quite unfavorableâ¦â
He gave Ling Mo a deep look and said, âAnd the fundamental reason is youâ¦ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
â¦
âDid the medications arrive this time?â
As the helicopter slowly descended into the Square, several people from the Falconâs Main Camp approached, with one officer asking loudly.
Jason was the first to step out of the cabin and then turned back to unload a case of medicine. âThis is the amount for this trip.â
The officer came over and glanced at the case, his expression immediately darkening. âJust this much? Are you kidding me?â
âThis type of medicine is hard to collectâ¦â
Before Jason could finish, the officer had kicked the box over, swearing, âHard to collect? You have a helicopter. Where canât you go? Hard to collect? Could it be harder than risking our lives?â Râ
Another member from the Second Camp had already jumped down from the helicopter, and it was none other than Tomâ¦
Jason was about to lose his temper when Tom shouted at him, âDonât cause trouble! And you, donât speak so excessively. Having a helicopter doesnât mean we donât have to take risks. Itâs just a convenient mode of transportation. We still have to risk our lives to get into those buildings and warehouses!â
Tomâs forceful shout temporarily subdued the Officer, but soon after, he retorted with a sneer, âDonât think we donât know that all the good stuff gets kept by your Second Camp. Youâre never shy about taking food from us, but when you deliver supplies, suddenly there are all these conditions. Seems like youâre planning a rebellionâ¦â
âYou can spout nonsense casually, but watch your words,â Tomâs face darkened as he shouted back.
âJust because Ling Mo seized it doesnât mean itâs your private propertyâ¦â The Officer scoffed before turning to leave. A nearby Soldier stepped up, preparing to take the box of medicine.
However, at that moment, a foot suddenly landed on the box, followed by Tomâs voice, tinged with anger, âThis air force base was won through Ling Moâs sacrifices, and this box is something we risked our lives for. You think you can just kick it away and leave?â
âOh, and what are you going to do about it?â The Officer turned back with a cocky attitude, asking.
These people werenât real military personnel; most of them gained their ranks after joining Falcon. Falcon had always employed this âmilitary rankâ system, but this Officer was merely wearing a hat symbolizing his position.
And the way he carried himself, he was far from resembling a soldier, looking more like a street thug.
âStand it up for me,â said Tom, who was a genuine special forces soldier. His eyes, full of menace, coldly watched the Officer as he spoke in a deep voice.
âSo what if I donât? Go ahead and hit me!â The Officer laughed in anger, taunting him.
â¦
Jasonâs recounting paused at this point, and Ling Mo pressed, âAnd then?â
âAnd then⦠he got punched.â
