The quiet night was torn open by a faint glow, and the edge of the sky began to show the first light of dawn.
In the meeting room of Zarote Area, He Ao, clad in an overcoat, Heish, whose body was bandaged, and Dasanc, with a frown etched on his face, were gathered around the conference table, focused on various documents projected onto the smart table.
The underground doctor Heish had found has already left.
After returning to Zarote Area in the early hours, the underground doctor first performed a physical examination on all three of them, then treated each individually.
Of the three, Heish's injuries were the most severe. Despite her chatting and laughing with He Ao the night before, several of her wounds were nearly fatal and she was only sustaining herself through sheer physical resilience.
The doctor performed a major surgery on her, which went on until about one or two hours ago. Although He Ao wanted her to rest, she stubbornly took her place at the conference table.
