sergeant piggs arranged for noland lee to stay at the rear of the unit but did not give him any weapons.

he confiscated noland lee’s issued gun and engineering hammer, and even took away the rune staff hanging from his waist.

noland lee might be able to deal with the skeleton warriors barehanded, but if he encounters a walking dead covered in pus, his only option would be to run as far away as possible.

despite noland lee’s dire situation, sergeant piggs still planned to take advantage of him, even going so far as to put him at the very back of the team, in an attempt to use the biochemical bait on his body to attract the undead.

noland sensed the tangible malice.

sergeant piggs, an investigator of intelligence officer 2, not only coerced private second class koben into sacrificing himself using words and authority but also wanted to kill the sin soldier using the undead’s power.

other members of mars squad saw through sergeant piggs’ scheme as well.

while they fought the undead at the front and cleared the path to the front line, they occasionally glanced back at the unarmed noland lee in frustration. “sergeant piggs, let me cover the rear!” sergeant mike adams shouted back.

“i can cover the rear too!” private second class comi also shouted.

the other two privates, isaac and kovin, also followed suit and suggested to their temporary chief officer.

mars squad could not afford to lose any more members.

private second class jack was killed in the stairwell on the first underground level. private second class koben, forced by sergeant piggs, bravely sacrificed himself in the bombing operation.

sergeant mike adams and three privates didn’t want to see such a result.

most importantly, since sergeant piggs dared to force private second class koben to sacrifice himself in front of his teammates, he must have hidden means to avoid being held responsible and questioned.

otherwise, piggs wouldn’t have returned to the front line so confidently to face the wrath of lieutenant grett and sergeant major alvin stafford.

among various ways to eliminate hidden risks, the most convenient and efficient one was to use the army of the lost to bury the entire mars squad here.

therefore, sergeant mike adams and the other squad members anxiously wanted to stand with noland and then use the chaos created by the army of the lost to escape from sergeant piggs’ unit and return to the front line alone.

it seemed that sergeant piggs had seen through sergeant mike adams’ plan, or he just had a “soft spot” for sin soldier no. 888 and didn’t want to harm the other members of mars squad.

alternatively, he may not have any intentions to bury mars squad at all.

as he was faced with suggestions from the members of mars squad, he suddenly raised his hand, pointed to a big skeleton not far away, and yelled:

“that big skeleton seems to be targeting us. i can’t let it release the ‘death pulse.’ sin soldier no. 888, i order you to come with me to divert that powerful enemy!”

when sergeant mike adams and the rest looked up, they saw the big skeleton looking at their group.

the addition of military intelligence second division soldiers greatly increased mars squad’s firepower, but it also made the team bloated, losing its original flexibility, and attracted more attention as a result.

when mars squad previously approached the underworld cavern entrance, they had passed by that big skeleton without attracting its attention.

now, due to the noise and chaos created by the squad, the big skeleton had turned its gaze from the imperial army’s frontline and looked towards mars squad on the edge of the battlefield.
