Before setting off, Xu Shuhan suddenly grabbed Ling Mo, pleading, “Don’t leave me behind…”
Ling Mo felt a bit helpless. Given how timid this Zombie was, it wasn’t suitable to leave her with the main group…
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 needed…
Jason didn’t have any objections to Ling Mo’s 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 couldn’t help but glance a few more times. After that, his attention shifted to Ye Lian and the others, particularly Li Yalin.
“This incredibly stunning ‘mixed-race’ beauty is the Commander’s sister…but her looks and personality seem a bit off… However, Ling-Ge is truly blessed. Three girls, all outstanding in appearance and temperament. It’s 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,” Jason couldn’t 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.
“Occasionally, Zombies or mutation beasts might appear over there…” Jason led the way while explaining the details of the area to Ling Mo. “However, no gunshots are allowed near the Oil Depot, so if those Monsters are spotted, it’s best to use gunfire to lure them to an open area. We’re going to a deeper place this time, and if under normal circumstances, it might take about two hours, but this time we need speed. I’m confident with Ling-Ge here, it should take no more than an hour.”
“But why do we have to go deeper? And haven’t you been using this Oil Depot for a while now? How come there are still Zombies?” Xia Na suddenly turned around and asked.
Xia Na’s question was exactly what Ling Mo wanted to ask. In every sense, he and these female Zombies seemed to be on the same wavelength…Jason quickly gave Xia Na a friendly smile and replied, “That’s 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 haven’t carried out a thorough cleanup operation. Another reason is that even after eliminating some, new Zombies keep appearing, including Infant Zombie…”
“Zone A was also discovered by us accidentally. But we never really thought it could come in handy, so…”
When Jason got to this point, Ling Mo couldn’t 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.
“The reason for going deeper is because there’s a special aviation fuel stored there. That’s also why we used it as the reason for this flight. If we were just going for regular fuel, we wouldn’t have been granted this much time,” Jason said, suddenly looking serious. He gazed at Ling Mo and added, “Ling-Ge, from my personal perspective, your timing in coming back couldn’t have been better.”
Ling Mo paused for a moment, but after exchanging a few glances with Jason, he felt a stirring inside. “Be more specific,” he said.
“But this matter has really been troubling the Commander. Although I haven’t met the Commander in person, when Captain Tom came to give me the orders, he was clearly worried. To be honest, I’m 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.”
Jason hesitated briefly before cautiously reciting, “The current situation is unclear. Until someone comes to pick you up, do not approach Falcon under any circumstances.” He exhaled and said, “That’s it.”
“The situation is unclear…” Ling Mo pondered for a moment, frowning. “Who said this?”
“I’m not sure, but Captain Tom relayed it to me,” Jason answered honestly.
“Was it verbatim?”
“Yes, word for word.”
“From the tone, it doesn’t sound like Yuwen Xuan. It might be Zhang Yu…” Ling Mo muttered to himself, then looked back at Jason. “You’ve delivered the message, so tell me about the Falcon situation. Why do you see things differently from them?” ṙà𝐍ôᛒƐS̈
“Because… they’re thinking for your sake, but I’m more concerned about the Second Camp,” Jason replied with some difficulty, then quickly added, “Ling-Ge, I hope you won’t be angry because of this…”
Ling Mo waved his hand dismissively, “I won’t. It’s good that you’re straightforward. Go on.”
Jason immediately breathed a sigh of relief and displayed his usual simple and honest smile, though it quickly faded. “Actually, the higher-ups are keeping this matter under wraps, but since we spend all our time there, we’ve 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 Camp’s attitude toward our Second Camp has become quite unfavorable…”
He gave Ling Mo a deep look and said, “And the fundamental reason is you…”
…
“Did the medications arrive this time?”
As the helicopter slowly descended into the Square, several people from the Falcon’s 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. “This is the amount for this trip.”
The officer came over and glanced at the case, his expression immediately darkening. “Just this much? Are you kidding me?”
“This type of medicine is hard to collect…”
Before Jason could finish, the officer had kicked the box over, swearing, “Hard to collect? You have a helicopter. Where can’t you go? Hard to collect? Could it be harder than risking our lives?”
Another member from the Second Camp had already jumped down from the helicopter, and it was none other than Tom…
Jason was about to lose his temper when Tom shouted at him, “Don’t cause trouble! And you, don’t speak so excessively. Having a helicopter doesn’t mean we don’t have to take risks. It’s just a convenient mode of transportation. We still have to risk our lives to get into those buildings and warehouses!”
Tom’s forceful shout temporarily subdued the Officer, but soon after, he retorted with a sneer, “Don’t think we don’t know that all the good stuff gets kept by your Second Camp. You’re never shy about taking food from us, but when you deliver supplies, suddenly there are all these conditions. Seems like you’re planning a rebellion…”
“You can spout nonsense casually, but watch your words,” Tom’s face darkened as he shouted back.
“Just because Ling Mo seized it doesn’t mean it’s your private property…” 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 Tom’s voice, tinged with anger, “This air force base was won through Ling Mo’s sacrifices, and this box is something we risked our lives for. You think you can just kick it away and leave?”
“Oh, and what are you going to do about it?” The Officer turned back with a cocky attitude, asking.
These people weren’t real military personnel; most of them gained their ranks after joining Falcon. Falcon had always employed this “military rank” 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.
“Stand it up for me,” 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.
“So what if I don’t? Go ahead and hit me!” The Officer laughed in anger, taunting him.
…
Jason’s recounting paused at this point, and Ling Mo pressed, “And then?”
“And then… he got punched.”
