Qin Luzi pointed at the man with a green dot and said, "He is fine. Bring him into the camp and make sure to keep his temperature in check. Tie up the other one and keep watch."
"Understood."
Leaving those orders behind, Qin Luzi went to find Zhang Yuan.
At that moment, Zhang Yuan was speaking with Wei Ying over the satellite phone. When he saw Qin Luzi approaching, he gestured for him to wait.
"Captain Wei, we understand your situation, but it's impossible for my team to escort the survivors to the survival camp," Zhang Yuan stated firmly.
On the other end of the line, Wei Ying sighed and said, "Old Zhang, you know my team has limited vehicles. There's no way we can transport so many people. Not to mention, we barely have enough supplies for our own team."
Zhang Yuan remained silent for a moment before replying, "Captain Wei, I can promise you that my team will provide enough supplies for both the survivors and your team. But you will have to find your own vehicles."
"With so many abandoned cars around, I don't believe you won't be able to find a few buses or trucks in working condition," he added.
Wei Ying immediately understood his meaning. It was impossible to ask the Phantom team to accompany them back to the survivors' camp.
Letting out another sigh, he asked, "Old Zhang, are you and your men really not coming back?" freёwebnoѵel.com
"Captain Wei, we have already done our best to complete the rescue mission. We lost too many brothers. We can't just abandon their families—we have to go save them. That was our promise to our fallen brothers."
"I hope you understand and help convey our decision to the commanders," Zhang Yuan said, his voice unwavering.
Realizing there was no room for negotiation, Wei Ying relented and asked, "I understand. How many people are with you now?"
"Besides the mission target and his friends, we have about 250 civilians. Some of them have awakened abilities and might be useful to you," Zhang Yuan replied.
Hearing that the number wasn't too large, Wei Ying felt some relief and asked another question, "How much supplies do you have?"
Zhang Yuan knew he couldn't afford to be stingy if he wanted the Eagle team to escort the civilians and said, "Right now, we have enough to last your team and the survivors for a month."
"We are currently clearing out zombies in the factory district while gathering more supplies. When you arrive, we can discuss the distribution."
For the first time during the call, a faint smile appeared on Wei Ying's usually stern face. His tone softened as he said, "Alright, my team is almost there. We will meet in an hour."
"Okay."
After ending the call, Zhang Yuan shook his head and muttered, "What a cunning old fox."
