Irritated as hell, Ziu rushed outside the control room to find the General. He opened the doors of all the rooms that surrounded the control room, but he was nowhere to be found. In fact there was no soldier there. He dashed to the field outside.
The entire area, which was an hour ago bustling with human activity, was vacant with only three soldiers going back to their cabins after they had taxied off the aircrafts. An hour ago he was making various plans on how to trample and overthrow Adrianna and now the place was as quiet as a ghost town.
He went to the enclosure where the tanks were standing. Once again he noticed that there were only two troopers standing. They were talking while smoking a cigarette turn by turn. One of them was leaning against a tank's closed door.
Ziu went to them. The two of them were pretty perplexed when they saw him standing so near to them.
