Chapter 328: I Disagree!
Two seconds after Long Yu asked, Shi Xuan responded, "Captain, the surveillance cameras are four meters away from the fence. With the fog this thick, the visibility is limited. Nothing can be seen if it's too far away from the surveillance cameras."
Listening to his answer, Long Yu asked, "How about the other areas? Have the monsters there been cleared?"
"Yes. A Quan and Captain Li covered the other areas. You can return now." Shi Xuan replied.
With their task completed, the four of them returned to the shelter. After undergoing the decontamination process in the white room, they went to get a shower and gathered in the meeting room to wait for the others.
Half an hour later, all combat-capable personnel had gathered there, leaving only the two children and elders working on the greenhouses and kitchen.
Sitting around the round table, Li Tianyu said, "Miss Yao, I informed Commander Du about your three conditions."
"He agreed but requested at least five thousand doses of medicine for the first shipment. Most of the soldiers in the Second Army are suffering from severe deformities, and these five thousand soldiers have the worst cases. If possible, he asks that the medicine be delivered as soon as possible."
Yao Ran thought for a moment before replying, "Based on the number of deformed monsters that attacked us today, I can roughly gauge the severity of the situation."
"However, given the limited visibility and the sheer number of deformed monsters out there, along with mutated animals and plants, delivering the medicine will be extremely dangerous."
Hearing this, Long Yu added, "Ran Ran is right. In order to deliver medicine safely in the current situation, at least forty people with good combat abilities, preferably people with abilities, are needed."
Li Tianyu frowned, contemplating their words. After a moment of silence, he said, "We don't know when the fog will dissipate, and my comrades can't hold out much longer. I can't ask you to deliver the medicine, so I will do it myself."
The other soldiers nodded in agreement. One of them said, "We will go with Captain Li. It's dangerous, but there is no other choice. The medicine must be delivered immediately."
After considering the pros and cons, Yao Ran said, "I will go with you."
As soon as she spoke, Long Yu grabbed her hand. "I disagree!" he said with a deep frown.
Yao Ran looked at him calmly and said, "A Yu, they can't deliver the medicine alone. I'm not weak-I can protect myself."
She paused, then lowered her voice and whispered, "A Yu, I need to go out to see the situation outside and find information about The Ark. I can't hide here forever, waiting for the enemy to get stronger and kill me again."
Long Yu shook his head, gritting his teeth, and said, "No. I won't let you take this risk. If you need information about The Ark, I will find it for you. Ran Ran, I won't let them take you away from me again."
Yao Ran wanted to say something, but Long Yu interrupted her, "If you want to go, we will go together."
"You can't leave now. The deformed monsters are still surrounding this place, and our friends need you to lead them." Yao Ran whispered.
Long Yu stared into her eyes and said word by word, "Either we go together, or we stay together. It's your choice."
Sensing the tension between them, Shi Xuan cleared his throat and interjected, "Captain, Yao Ran, please wait
moment."
Turning to Li Tianyu, Shi Xuan asked, "Captain Li, can you contact Commander Du?"
Li Tianyu nodded, "Yes. Do you need to speak with him?"
Shi Xuan replied, "No need. Can you ask him to send people to pick up the medicine?"
Li Tianyu considered this for a moment before responding, "I will call him now." He pulled out a satellite phone from his pocket and held the number one button for five seconds. When the call was connected, he said, "Commander, this is Li Tianyu."
From the other end of the line, Du Zhaoyi replied, "Captain Li, where are you?"
Li Tianyu glanced at the others in the room before answering, "Commander, I'm still at Captain Long's place. The fog hasn't cleared, and we were attacked by deformed monsters this morning."
Du Zhaoyi fell silent for a moment when he heard this before responding, "Stay there. I will send people to pick up the medicine. We are currently under siege by the deformed monsters, so it may take a few days to go there."
As he spoke, someone in the background seemed to report an urgent matter. A second later, Du Zhaoyi hurriedly added, "That's all for now. Take care, Captain Li."
Before Li Tianyu could reply, the call ended.
Placing the satellite phone on the table, Li Tianyu looked at the others and said, "Bad news. The base is under siege by the deformed monsters, and the situation seems dire. Commander Du said he would send people to pick up the medicine, but it would take a few days for them to come here."
He turned to Long Yu and added, "Captain Long, my team and I may need to stay here until Commander Du's people arrive."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Long Yu nodded, "No problem. Stay as long as you need, Captain Li."
As he spoke, his grip on Yao Ran's wrist loosened. She glances at him thoughtfully for a moment before turning his hand over and holding it with her own.
Caught off guard by her intimate gesture in front of everyone, Long Yu raised an eyebrow but said nothing.
Beside them, Shi Xuan sighed inwardly and thought, 'Captain seems to have forgotten how strong Yao Ran is. Love really does make people more anxious and worried too much than usual.'
Shi Xuan looked at the others and said, "The deformed monsters keep appearing in this area. I think we should patrol regularly to keep them at bay."
Long Yu nodded and asked, "A Xuan, can you organize the patrol schedule?"
