Chapter 59 Dawn
Platinum is waiting for the right moment to make its move.
As the zombies surrounding the small building are gradually cleared out, Platinum's waiting opportunity is about to arrive.
"Mysterious Iron, fire!"
Three consecutive 40mm grenades blasted away the last remaining zombies at the main entrance and the crowd behind the cover.
Before the smoke and dust from the explosion had even settled, the Qie Xue (a type of guard) had already charged forward, leading the charge.
"Thump thump"
Kheshig activated the triple launchers on both sides, firing two stun grenades into the hall.
"Bang bang"
Two stun grenades exploded one after the other in the hall, throwing the remaining armed personnel into chaos once again.
Qiexue and Baijin rushed in and killed all the armed personnel in the hall.
"Xuan Tie, follow along. Roy, guard the gate."
Bai Jin, along with Qie Xue and the newly arrived Xuan Tie, prepared to go up to the second floor.
"Kheshig and Xuan Tie, be on guard."
Platinum couldn't see what was happening inside the second-floor room from the drone's current perspective, so he could only step back slightly, raise his shield, and launch his hummingbird drone.
The Hummingbird drone flew up to the second floor and confirmed the camp leader's location through the peephole on the door.
"Location confirmed, no one else in the other rooms."
Kheshig led the way, followed by Bai Jin with his shield raised, and Xuan Tie brought up the rear. The man and his two dogs quietly made their way up to the second floor.
Platinum and Kheshig stood in front of the door. Platinum adjusted his helmet to isolation mode, then used his shield to smash open the iron gate.
With a clang, the iron door swung open. Platinum ducked low, and a stun grenade flew past him, passing through the gap between the shield and the door frame and into the room.
With a soft "bang," the other three people in the room immediately collapsed to the ground, clutching their heads, while the camp leader, who had just regained consciousness, fell into a coma again.
Platinum peeked out from behind the shield and witnessed the chaos. Then, waving the shield, he sent them to their dreams.
"Flagship, mission complete. Camp leader captured. Requesting further instructions."
"Flagship received. What are the camp leader's vital signs?"
Platinum glanced at the camp leader lying on the bed, then looked at everything around him, and chose to send it all back to the flagship.
"Bai Zhi, please process this information and see how much longer this person can live."
Lorraine sent the video that Platinum had sent to Bai Zhi.
"Commander, your vital signs are poor. If you stay still, you might live for another day or two."
Bai Zhi didn't know what kind of injury she had suffered; she only made a judgment based on the video content.
"Platinum, tie him up with a rope, don't give him any room to struggle."
Platinum found a bloodstained rope in the next room and used it to securely tie the unconscious camp leader to the bed.
"What should we do with the remaining three?"
"Tie him up and throw him in the next room. We'll talk about it after dawn. Remember to gag him too."
"clear."
Platinum tore off the curtains, gagged them, then tied the three men up with rope and threw them into different rooms.
"Flagship, mission accomplished."
"You've worked hard. Find a safe place to rest for a bit, and deal with them again tomorrow morning."
"receive."
Bai Jin returned to the landing craft, Roy and Xuan Tie guarded the shore, Qiexue and Maomao were on guard, and Di Ting kept an eye on the prisoners inside the building.
Lorraine laid out a cushion in the driver's cab, lay down on it, and slowly fell asleep.
Finally, all was calm.
Cleveland and his robotic dogs are responsible for guarding the area and ensuring the safety of those who are asleep.
Commander, wake up.
At 6 a.m., Cleveland woke up the sleeping Lorraine.
"Good morning, nothing unexpected happened during the night, right?"
No, it was just those prisoners who made a fuss for a long time.
"Ignore them."
Lorraine got up to take care of her personal hygiene and woke up Ouyang Nian, preparing to torture these people.
The landing craft has returned to port.
Platinum, who was sleeping on the landing craft, was awakened by the sound of water beside him.
"flagship?"
[The Commander is preparing to come with Ms. Ouyang Nian.]
Cleveland has reassigned Platinum to Lorraine.
Before long, Lorraine and Ouyang Nian, along with Tiangou, arrived at the camp in a landing craft.
Here, have something to eat first.
Lorraine handed two energy bars to Platinum; she should have finished the ones she brought yesterday.
"Thank you, Commander."
Platinum opened an energy bar and ate it.
"Commander, which side should we deal with first, the warehouse or the prisoners in the building?"
"Go inside and take a look. Tengu, follow me."
Bai Jin, carrying his shield, led Lorraine and Ouyang Nian into the two-story building.
Looking at the weakened camp leader, Lorraine asked.
"I'll ask you, and you answer: Where is the secret door in the warehouse, and what's hidden inside?"
"Heh, isn't that where you conduct your secret transactions? As for the secret door, find it yourself."
The person lying in bed burst into laughter.
"Then what are your reasons for brainwashing people?"
Platinum asked expressionlessly.
"This group of people is not united at all. I am the one who can bring them hope. Everything I do is to help everyone survive in the apocalypse."
"And all they do is stand by and make sarcastic remarks, hindering my plans."
"Only if they unconditionally obey my commands can everyone survive, cough cough cough cough."
Upon hearing Bai Jin's question, he began to curse, coughing up blood as he did so.
"So this is your excuse for harming women?"
"They only cause trouble, they only deserve..."
"Snapped!"
Platinum understood what he wanted to say and slapped him across the face.
"One last question: Did you send people to rob the farm on the east bank?"
"Why shouldn't I use her abilities? She even argues with me. Aren't all my actions just for survival? It's her honor to be able to follow my orders."
Upon hearing his reply and seeing his ferocious expression, Ouyang Nian was filled with rage, trembling all over, unable to utter a single word.
Lorraine noticed her unusual behavior, took her hand, and tried to calm her down.
Lorraine then placed the pistol, with the safety off, into Ouyang Nian's hand.
"It's yours now. Hold the gun tight and don't get hurt."
Then Lorraine and Platinum stood behind her, ready to support the exhausted Ouyang Nian at any time.
"It's a pity you know her..."
"Slap slap slap"
Ouyang Nian fired three shots into the man's chest, and then his body went limp and he collapsed.
Lorraine and Platinum caught Ouyang Nian.
"Commander, you only loaded three bullets into your pistol?"
"It was specially prepared for her."
Lorraine and Platinum carried Ouyang Nian onto the landing craft and called for Maomao to protect him.
"Lorraine, I didn't do anything wrong, did I?"
Ouyang Nian reached out and grabbed Lorraine's sleeve.
"Well done, go to sleep. We'll come back with the medicine after you wake up."
Hearing Lorraine's assurance, Ouyang Nian finally relaxed and fell into a deep sleep.
"Kitty, please stay here and protect her."
"Commander, it's my duty."
