76 Starting the Operation (1/2)

At the main base, the sky was darkened, it was 5:00 and people were beginning to prepare dinner. The group has managed to take control of a few abandoned farms, especially farm near Sydney. After the city was invaded and fell people fled to all directions, as long as they weren't near Sydney it was fine.

The room inside the main base was deathly silent, the member's breathing could be heard faintly and the sound of children playing outside could just be heard. The reason for this silence was the discovery of the lab, one that seems to be heavily guarded on all four sides.

Flynn was the first to break the silence as his hands hit the table, ”Alright, I believe we should infiltrate the base, we need to know what they're doing in there”.

”Well we don't really need to,” Phoebe coward out, she hated when the group did missions with a high chance of death. Although, she would also come and help out since she doesn't want her close friends to die.

”What they're doing in there isn't something that those people want us to see,” Simon said, he took a quick breath but before continuing was interrupted by Flynn, ”Simon, I thought you would be on board this the most”.

”Let me finish,” Simon said towards Flynn, ”If it's something they don't want us to see, then we should absolutely infiltrate and see it”.

”Oh, sorry,” Flynn apologised, he just assumed what Simon was hinting towards. After all, after his miscalculation against the military bullets, Simon seems to have become more cautious which is completely understandable.

”I'm in,” Lachlan said to the side, Lachlan was apart of every mission, even if he wasn't actually needed.

”Of course you're in,” Phoebe said, she was most worried about Lachlan who was always at the front of the battles, putting himself in front of the most danger.

”I'm going in too, I need to find out what they used to discover the tracking device and take it,” Zhang said, he hated it when unexpected technology would screw up operations but loved it when it could get them new things. He would always bring it to the woman in charge of analysing and modifying the technology they get, it almost seems like he has a thing for her.

Of course, no one would question it out loud.

”I'll help infiltrate,” Joe said, his sister immediately spoke up milliseconds after, ”Me too”.

”I'll help secure the escape route,” Georgia said, she had always secured escape routes for these types of missions, she's improved over the 6 months as well.

”Oh fine, I'll help Georgia,” Phoebe said pouting as she gave up even trying to convince them to stop.

”I'll help out with the escape route as well,” Brianna said to the side. Flynn nodded towards her. This was the third mission she's been on with them, as such, it'll be better to have her stick out of the danger zone.

”I'll keep an eye on the surrounding area and report when something's coming,” Chloe said.

”Alright, I will tell everyone right now that this mission will probably be the most dangerous mission we'll have to do,” Flynn said.

”Why?” Lachlan asked as his attention snapped towards Flynn with that statement.

”We don't have any maps of the lab, no information who's there or the people they have guarding it, this is a blind mission, make sure to always err on the side of caution,” Flynn explained.

”Really? We have nothing?” Simon questioned, this wasn't something they've experienced before.

”Yes, it seems this lab was built after the evolution or in extreme secrecy, either way, there's nothing on it,” Flynn explained as he threw out a couple of theories.

”Alrighty then, when will we start then?” Zhang asked with an enthusiastic tone.

”Tomorrow morning, if they're human then they should at least take breaks and change patrols,” Flynn said, but after hearing from Zhang what they look like and how they operate, there's a likely chance they're professionals.

Due to the evolution of beasts, night times have now become even more heavily guarded than before. If something happens at night and a beast manages to slip through into the city it could cause a massacre, and it has happened before, about 1 month after the evolution. They make sure to now make the same mistake twice.

”Alright, get some good sleep, we don't want anyone sleeping on the job,” Flynn said, he was the most worried. Due to his compatibility, he still hasn't got a tamed beast, it just didn't feel right to be sending everyone on the mission but not going himself. Of course, he would be helping from a secure location near them, using the computer he might be able to hack into the lab systems, but that's not likely.

Most people didn't sleep soundly that night, they were tossing and turning. They thought they would be used to it by now, the nervousness they got when they were going to do a mission. But it seems it'll always be there, or it might just be because this wasn't a normal mission.

Lachlan slept the best. He hasn't told anyone because he thought they would have discovered it by now, sleeping with your tamed beasts can easily get rid of the nervous feeling. It can for him anyway.
