Chapter 515: Meeting

The people in the conference room were deadly silent. In the past, they had also suffered losses during battles, but not to such a degree. Moreover, what caused such a heavy loss was not a zombie tide or mutant beasts, but a single entity, the Black Hole.
“In addition to its growing speed, the Black Hole’s defense is strong. Currently, bullets have little effect on it. Since bullets don’t seem to work, then we can only use cannons! The Black Hole has also attracted a lot of mutant beasts. I suggest taking the initiative to attack and annihilate it before it reaches the Safety Zone,” said General Zhang passionately.
However, none of the higher-ups said anything after listening to General Zhang’s words. Even an elite team of 2,000 people had been annihilated in the blink of an eye, so how could they accept that plan?
General Zhang was standing beside the table, and his brows suddenly wrinkled. Back at the Shenhai Island, a similar situation had happened. Everyone had been thinking about themselves. If at such a critical moment everyone decided to put themselves above the greater good, then there would be only one outcome; certain death!
General Zhang’s tone turned cold. “When my 3rd Regiment was slaughtering mutant beasts in Shenhai Island, we had already suffered great losses. But all my brothers, as well as I, wanted to fight in the front lines. The bounden duty of soldiers is to protect their homeland! Protecting the homeland and all the people! Never forget that!”
His remark made all the people present somewhat silent.
“What General Zhang said is right!” Suddenly, a thin 50-year-old man stood up. That man’s gaze was as sharp as an eagle. Although he was thin, he gave off a strong aura, like a lion.
“I don’t have many members under my command, but almost all of them are paranormals. Although bullets are useless, paranormals might stand a chance against it,” said a Commissioner surnamed Luo. He was the strongest amongst them.
“The 2,000 soldiers who sacrificed themselves were all under my command,” said Officer Huang in a sad tone.
Officer Huang looked up and slammed on the table. “But if we don’t kill that monster, how could I possibly face my 2,000 brothers-in-arms in the underworld?”
“At the beginning, Jiangning Safety Zone was just a small camp! We all built it little by little. After the f*cking doomsday, it became our home! We have to fight for it! Thousands of lives depend on us. Our burden is heavy, but we have to shoulder it and stand up straight!”
Officer Huang, as a leader of local troops, had already witnessed one instance of Jiangning turning into a living hell. He couldn’t let such a tragedy repeat itself/.
After their speeches, everyone could feel the blood in their hearts boil.
“In this case, we should discuss how to eliminate this Black Hole!” said Officer Huang.
But at that moment, the door of the conference hall was opened. Currently, all the commanding forces and power centers of the Jiangning Safety Zone were all gathered in this small conference hall. Naturally, nobody would dare to enter at such a crucial moment.
However, after seeing the people outside the door, Officer exclaimed, “It’s Han Yuan!”
A 30-year-old man entered, followed by two women and three men. One of them was Bai Jiayan, but he was just standing silently at the end. A bald man and a cold-looking woman were standing on Han Yuan’s left and right respectively. The bald man was intimidating while the woman seemed as cold as ice.
Everyone was overwhelmed by Han Yuan’s presence. Han Yuan seemed gentle, but his strength was simply unfathomable. Initially, he was not a soldier, but he had been awarded with the rank of Major General in the Huaxia Region. Since he was in the Jiangning Safety Zone, he could represent the Huaxia Region. As a result, all leaders of Jiangning Safety Zone had to pay more attention to him. Moreover, Han Yuan’s character was mysterious. Even General Zhang didn’t know what he was thinking.
“I already know everything.” Han Yuan sat down on an empty chair. “When I entered the door, I heard something. Black Hole, right?”
“Oh, then Commander Han, you must have also heard that we have decided to eliminate it as soon as possible,” said General Zhang.
“Yes, since I’m also here, I will try my best to help you. I will inform Huaxia Region,” said Han Yun.
“That’s wonderful!” Suddenly, all the people seemed to have been united together. As long as Huaxia Region could help them, nothing would threaten them in the future.
“Since you decided to encircle the Black Hole, you should first learn about its current state. I am willing to take the task, but my members are insufficient,” said Han Yuan.
What he said encouraged others and let everyone admire him. They all knew that no matter who got close to the Black Hole, it would be the most dangerous task. If they were not careful, they might follow the 2,000 soldiers’ footsteps. But Han Yuan took the initiative to take the risk.
“What are your criteria? I will send them to follow you,” asked General Zhang.
“A survivors’ team that is flexible and their individual combat power is exceptional. I am not planning to lead an army, but a special sharp knife!” Han Yuan said while his eyes shining. “And, the Black Hole may not be as you think. Eliminating it may not be the best solution,” added Han Yuan. His words stunned everyone.
“Haha, don’t mind what I said. We can’t make decisions until we get to the bottom of this,” said Han Yuan with a smile.
