73 The Last Nigh (1/2)
Li Na was following the person in front of her while trying to control her breathing. She was doing daily exercise for Tarriors.
While maintaining her breathing, she also tried to synchronize her steps with the person in front of her.
This was the sixth day and she started improving. At least she was much better than the first day she started the exercise.
”Stop! You have fifteen minutes break before the Basic Combat training!” Wei Xi loudly announced to the group.
”Hah…” Li Na breathed out relievedly. She immediately went to the nearby tree. She sat down and straightened her legs out.
”Here, your water!” Cao Jingyi tossed her a bottle of water to her.
”Thanks, Sister Jingy~,” Li Na cheerfully thanked Cao Jingyi as she shook the bottle.
She opened the bottle and gulped down half of the bottle.
”Uwahh!” It was just mineral water but it was very satisfying. A drink after the exercise.
Cao Jingyi was one of the closest people to Li Na. She saved her life on the battlefield and she had been taking care of her in the base as well. Now she has been looking for her since she joined Tarrior.
”Have you heard about the expedition?” Cao Jingyi asked the young girl. She paid more attention to Li Na because Li Na was one of the youngest girls around.
She also respected her that Li Na was doing this for her little sister and her grandmother too.
”Expedition? What expedition?” Li Na had not heard about it yet.
”Mengyao will announce today, you will know soon,” Cao Jingyi waved her hand casually as she took a sip of water.
Not long after that, Zhang Mengyao truly came. It had been five days since Zhang Mengyao did not participate in the group's daily exercise. The rumor said she was in intense training with Tang Shaoyang so no one complained.
”Can I have your time please!?” Zhang Mengyao called out.
The little over a hundred Tarriors immediately looked toward Zhang Mengyao.
Zhang Mengyao then explained the base that wanted to form a medical team but they did not have the people. No one disagreed about the need for the medical team as Tarrior was the one who benefited the most if a medical division was formed.
”Tomorrow, we will form an expedition team. The team is composed of forty people, we have chosen the first twenty people from the ”Slaves” group so we need twenty more people from Tarrior!”
No one interrupted her as Zhang Mengyao continued.
”The mission is to rescue the doctors and nurses as much as possible! It could be a dangerous mission or maybe just like a daily hunt! And the destination is SH Hospital and the one who will lead the team is our Leader! Any volunteer?”
The group immediately fell silent. Most of them were thinking about the distance between the base to the hospital.
Just like Zhang Mengyao said, the mission could be very dangerous, or it may be just like a daily hunt.
However, despite all these issues, two people raised their hands to volunteer themselves. Zhao Zhong and Li Na, two immediately raised their hands when they heard Tang Shaoyang would be the team leader.
Cao Jingyi who sat next to Li Na was surprised by the girl's decisive decision. She did not expect the girl would have a big gut.
”Are you sure?” Cao Jingyi could not help but ask the girl to confirm she was in the right mind.
”Yes, I am sure! Sister Mengyao and Boss are kind enough to let me choose the Advanced Class. I can't disappoint them by backing down from a mission like this!”
Li Na answered with a strong determination. Of course, one of the reasons was because Tang Shaoyang was the leader. as for the main reason…
”We need the medical division badly. I have a fragile grandma and little sister. If we don't have doctors or a medical team, who's going to treat them?”
More than that, she needed to level up her summon as well. Looking for zombies around the base was getting harder and harder. So, she was having a hard time leveling up, now added with her summon too. So an expedition like this was needed for her to grow stronger.
Hearing Li Na's strong reply, Cao Jingyi smiled. She then also raised her hand, volunteering herself to join the expedition team.
After the first three people raised their hands, more and more people also raised their hands.
”Alright, we have enough people!” Zhang Mengyao stopped more people to raise their hands as they had enough people. With Tang Shaoyang, the team only needed nineteen people.
Zhang Mengyao wrote down the name that would join the expedition team.
This time, Cao Jingyi approached her and looked into the list. She was surprised that she did not see Zhang Mengyao's name on the list.
”You are not coming with us?”
Zhang Mengyao shook her head, ”Nope! Shaoyang asked me and Lu An to stay. He said the base needs a temporary leader to keep a check the base when he is away,”
”Ah…” Cao Jingyi nodded understandingly. Tang Shaoyang's decision was understandable.
