It took him a few moments to recall Kisha and her group. Their formidable display of fighting prowess upon arrival at the shelter, executed effortlessly, had left a lasting impression on him. However, this impressive demonstration also put him on guard in their presence. freewebnoveℓ.com
Their extraordinary power hinted at their exceptional nature, leading him to suspect they were not ordinary individuals. It was only upon discovering they were special agents that he slightly eased his guard.
His brow furrowed slightly as he inquired, "Are you the group responsible for completing this mission and creating this map?" He watched Kisha and her companions closely, silently assessing their reactions, seeking to glean something from their demeanor.
Kisha simply nodded in response, offering no further explanation. The man’s brow furrowed even more tightly, his frustration evident at the lack of forthcoming information from Kisha. Deciding to confront the issue directly, he spoke sternly, "Then, explain the markings you left on the map and provide a detailed account of what you observed out there.
We cannot afford incomplete reconnaissance missions or false information meant to deceive us." Each word carried a weight of warning as he addressed Kisha and her team.
With a cursory glance at each member, he gestured for them to come closer, conveying the seriousness of the consequences they would face if caught attempting to deceive the authorities by passing off incomplete or falsified mission reports.
Kisha and her companions exuded confidence as they stepped forward. Knowing Sparrow had meticulously mapped out the western district, he took the lead, leaning in towards the table.
With deliberate gestures, he pointed to various markings on the map, asserting, "I’m most familiar with these markings as I was responsible for mapping them while our team conducted our reconnaissance." The man’s gaze followed Sparrow’s movements, taking in the detailed map. Sparrow continued, "Our scouting commenced from the outskirts of the western district, moving inward.
We identified small encampments surrounding the central hub, where the majority of zombies congregated. Each encampment was equipped with lookout posts positioned along the perimeter, which we’ve indicated on the map with corresponding circles to denote their surveillance areas.
Beyond these individuals, the area appeared deserted." With his explanation complete, Sparrow stepped back, rejoining Kisha.
The man’s expression contorted in deep contemplation, his thoughts inscrutable to Kisha and her companions. Yet, his seriousness was palpable, indicating he was deliberating something before speaking again.
"Did these individuals protect you from the zombie raid while you were outside?" His tone suggested a hint of skepticism as if he himself couldn’t quite believe the question he was posing, yet it was clear he sought to grasp something significant.
Kisha responded with a deadpan expression, her tone matter-of-fact. "No, we were already in the outer part of the western district when the zombie raid occurred."
