Chapter 1588 - 896:
Director Gao took a deep breath, then looked at the people standing below and asked, "Let’s hear it, what are everyone’s thoughts."
A short woman sitting to the lower right of Director Gao said:
"Director Gao, how about we lie low for a while and temporarily withdraw our people? We won’t head north anymore; after all, we’ve captured a lot of people and gathered a lot of resources during this period."
This short woman is named Bu Ah, with eyes that show more of the sclera, a pointed forehead, and a height of less than 1.5 meters; yet she is one of Director Gao’s most trusted subordinates.
"No, according to Chen Wu, the team coming this time might be different from the previous one; what if those people reach us here? Can we resist them?
Can we withstand bombs launched from such a long distance, with enough power to collapse a building?
If you ask me, we should find a way to evacuate and avoid drawing attention; that’s the crucial matter." a seemingly composed man said.
"Ha!"
Bu Ah snorted.
Then said, "I suspect you have a personal agenda, thinking about going to your friends in the Southern region, you probably always wanted to leave our Jinmu Group, right?"
The composed man heard her and turned pale, immediately explaining, "I don’t, don’t spew nonsense, Director Gao knows my loyalty well."
"I genuinely sense that these people are somewhat different from those before; if we stay here, I’m afraid we can’t stop them."
Bu Ah glanced at him. Her natural eye expression looks rather creepy.
She then turned to Director Gao and said, "Director Gao, I believe we shouldn’t leave here; there are several reasons for this.
First, the people heading north are not only from our group; although we’re the largest in this sector, there are other groups within other sectors.
And as far as I know, people from Myanmar and Yue Country have gone too, why would they necessarily target us?
Moreover, if they want to take action against so many of us, even if they have heavy artillery, so what?
Second, last time we went north too, and retreated when we faltered. Although it failed, we’re still fine now. I don’t see those people daring to head south.
Third, Director Gao, we’ve been operating here for so long, not to mention so many resources. How could we move them all quickly? We have no means to transport everything, and if we move, where would we find such a stable place?
Leaving here, facing Zombies, we really can’t resist them.
Leaving here is actually a dead end for us."
The short woman listed clearly why they couldn’t leave here.
The composed man said with some urgency, "Although, although, if we stay here, are we just waiting for them to come? The enemy is so strong, what do we use to fight their heavy weapons?"
"Ha ha! Coward, are you brainless?"
"Say that again if you dare."
"Coward!"
Swish!
The seemingly composed man was no longer calm, instantly standing from his seat.
"Oh oh oh, look who’s acting tough with no brains?"
In her intangible manner, the short woman insulted the other men in the hall, causing their expressions to change, some were displeased.
They started to criticize, but the women on the other side supported Bu Ah.
Suddenly, the entire conference hall was a chaotic mess, noisy and embroiled in disputes.
"Stop arguing!"
Bam!
Director Gao slammed the table, shouting loudly.
"At this time, you still indulge in arguing? I assume you all are idle."
The composed man’s expression was embarrassed, seeing Director Gao’s face a bit off, he obediently sat down.
He knows Director Gao the best in Jinmu Group, witnessing her ruthlessness to the extreme.
Even though Director Gao showed little expression, if one knew her deeds, they’d be shocked.
In the hall, there was an equal split of men and women.
With Director Gao’s anger flaring, no one dared utter a word.
"Chen Wei, you mentioned seeing infantry vehicles while leaving, did you see anything else?"
Chen Wei thought for a moment, then spoke, "Seemed like there were four or five infantry vehicles, didn’t see anything else, seemed like their numbers aren’t that many....."
Director Gao rubbed her forehead, starting to plot internally.
Bu Ah’s earlier words struck a chord with her.
Leave the Jinmu Group sector here?
Ha!
What a joke, she hadn’t left even before Doomsday, let alone now.
Moreover, all the forces she commands are here; how would she obtain everything she currently has if she moved to a new place?
Besides, if she leads people away, what if nearby sectors’ groups take over her right here?
She never indulges in benefiting others for free.
Furthermore, truthfully, she isn’t that scared.
Jinmu Group’s walls are so solid, and the watchtowers so numerous, she believes they can hold.
Moreover, she is fighting on her turf.
They could wear the opponents down just by dragging things out, victory is undoubtedly hers ultimately.
From Chen Wei’s account, with few numbers, they might not be that strong.
Director Gao thinks from two aspects: one, how powerful they justify, if she can resist them.
Second is the loss she can endure if they leave.
The extent of their strength isn’t clear yet, thus someone needs to investigate.
Regarding her ability to resist, Director Gao’s gaze is a bit cold, internally considering, seems like she should talk with other sectors’ leaders, forming a unified front would escalate the strength remarkably.
Unless those people have over ten thousand forces, they couldn’t dream of exterminating all these people; however, in Doomsday, a ten thousand-strong force is practically a fantasy, outright impossible.
Having understood all this.
Director Gao looked at everyone and said, "Alright, Chen Wei, head out tomorrow, I’ll assign you a few people, go probe and ensure to find out exactly their numbers and their real strength."
"Director Gao, I’ve just returned. Can’t someone else go?"
Chen Wei’s expression seemed as if he swallowed feces, utterly unpleasant.
Having barely escaped, only to be sent back, isn’t this akin to suicide?
Is this a joke?
"This is an order, not a negotiation, Er Hua, go with him tomorrow, if he doesn’t cooperate, kill him!"
Director Gao’s tone was cold, as if discussing a mundane matter.
"Alright, Director Gao." Another woman nearby responded.
"Fine, Bu Ah, contact other sectors, say... ask them to coordinate, if anything happens, it’s trouble for everyone."
