Chapter 253: The tension is nearing (1/2)
Morning came, Jin woke up from his bed and headed to the bathroom to wash his face. From there, he saw his haggard face from the battle from the previous from yesterday. After washing his face, he heads down and saw that all the group have already finished eating breakfast.
”Sir, we have finished our tasks. Because we did not disturb you because we know everyone is tired and exhausted from the battle yesterday.”
Fang Shirong said while drinking a glass of water. Then he added, ”The town's folk gave us some food and said it was an offering for us to eat. But before we ate, we checked it for contaminations and it was all good.”
Jin nodded and began munching the food that was on the table. After 20 minutes, they all packed up and drove to their destination. They reached the checkpoint and when they arrived; they saw the border check point that it fortified well.
”What happened here? It seems something happened a few days ago.” Li Xiaosheng commented and then Wen Xin saw a poster that was posted. ”Sir, I think I know what happened.” And Jin looked at the back and said, ”What happened?” he asked with a calm voice.
”Maskara has fallen to the Black Lion Pride and the N.D.A.M and the Southern government is currently in the clash.” Wen Xin replied to Jin, ”Damn, we just left Maskara, and now it's at the hands of the Black lion Pride. Well, I guess that the failure of their strategic command.” Fang Shirong stated.
”Han Zian,” Jin whispered, and then he looked at Fang Shirong and said, ”Han Zian is in Maskara” Fang Shirong look back at Jin with an unsuspected face. ”What the heck do you mean Han Zian is in Maskara? We need to go back then!” fang Shirong was about to steer the wheel to maneuver the APC to turn course.
”We cannot go back because we have already set the date for the Safe Zone Echo. They are expecting our arrival. We can no longer go AWOL, and Han Zian knows how to fight those scums. And I am sure he won't be going to get caught by those scums.” Jin stated, even though he wants to go back and Han Zian, he can't because he knows for himself that.
When they reached the last check point a guard stood in front of the APC. And all the guards were raising their guns for the ready.
”Sir, I think we are not welcome at the border,” Fang Shirong stated, and looked into the eyes of the guards. Jin opened the door and with a calm voice he said, ”Sir, here are the identifications of all of us here.” Jin handed, and the guard looked at him in the eye as if he was trying to intimidate Jin.
``This person is trying to intimate me, he just looks like a beggar from some recruit that wanted to get promoted.`` Jin thoughts while looking at the guard. After that, the guard turns around and walks away far from the APC.
The guards check on the monitor screen the identification, after 20 minutes, the guard came back and said ”You are from the N.D.A.M?” and Jin replied with ”Yes, Sir we are from the N.D.A.M” and the guard nodded. Then the guard handed the identification before letting the 2 APCs move forward.
”Finally, we have entered the eastern region.” Jin said while stepping on the gas and the APC moving down the road with some vehicles they see are from the battle back in the Northern region. ”I feel the battle in Maskara was hellish” Li Xiaosheng commented, ”War is always hellish and the war with the monsters is also hellish.” Qin Shanyuan added to what Li Xiaosheng have said.
After 4 hours on the road, they have reached the new Safe Zone Echo. They were all amazed at how the Safe Zone is constructed.
”Damn those walls are really up high, it seems the people inside are wealthy enough to upgrade their walls like this.” Fang Shirong stated while looking in front where there are also a lot of humvees and trucks are trying to get inside of the Safe Zone.
”It seems the place getting crowded by the time,” Fang Shirong commented. And soon enough, the APC is at the checkpoint. The guard that walks towards them knocked jin's door. Jin opened the door and salutes, the guard then said,
”Please hand me the verification of this vehicle and the vehicle is at the back and all the identification. As you are in a military type vehicle. Entering the city may cause some disturbance. Please coordinate with us accordingly.”
Jin then nodded and showed the guard an authorization letter from the Tower of the Safe Zone Echo, and the identification of each of the individual inside the APC's. And when the checkpoint guard saw each of the identification, he saluted at Jin and signaled the other gate guard to open the gate for the 2 APC. Took back the documents and stepped on the gas. Then they entered the new establish Safe Zone Echo.
Upon entering the safe Zone Echo there they saw how magnificent it was, then the old Safe Zone Delta.
