Angie returns to Zayn's room with the box of materials Zayn requested. She just put that shirt on and checked into the room.
Zayn was there, meticulously preparing for their departure.
"I think I've packed everything. We'll be fine with this. O, hey, you're back, Angie." Zayn rechecked all their luggage and then raised his hand to Angie.
Angie only responded with a nod. She saw Zayn would carry a large bag full of things and the smaller ones around his body.
Whatever it was, she didn't want to carry those heavy things around.
"Here, please put on this military uniform. We're leaving with the fifteenth team soon. I've sent a notification to them via walkie-talkie." Zayn presents brand-new elite military clothing for women.
"..." Angie accepted it, but she stared at the uniform in confusion.
"If you are confused about how to wear it, I will help you later. Please dress the clothes first, and I will take care of the attributes." Zayn could guess Angie's confusion.
Angie just nodded and entered the room. She immediately changed her clothes on the spot and returned in front of Zayn with slightly messy clothes.
"Hmm, fine." Zayn rubbed his head with a smile. He then helped Angie to properly wear her new military uniform.
Afterwards, they left their lab room in military uniforms. Zayn's backpack contained a lot of stuff, but Angie's was empty.
Before leaving the lab building, Zayn asked the receptionist about Professor Tyler. He wanted to know the development of their anti-zombifying serum type II.
"My apologies, Sir Zayn. However, Professor Tyler doesn't seem to have come out of his lab yet. We haven't received any updates on the serum you're referring to. However, I'm very impressed that you and Professor Tyler will come up with the cure for mankind. We no need to be afraid of turning into a zombie! Heehee~" The receptionist lady laughed strangely and wiped her saliva.
"..." Angie pulled Zayn away from that weird lady.
After the event in the medical examination room, she became very protective if another strange human tried to approach her human. That quirky professor was an exception since that human was helpful.
"Haha, alright. Maybe he's tired? We slept so late last night, after all. Please tell Professor Tyler I'm going with the fifteenth squad to do a field test on the real monsters out there." Zayn raised his hand in farewell. He then left the building lab with Angie.
"Ah~, if only he didn't have a girlfriend yet. She is so blessed with such a beautiful face and sexy body. Why is God so unfair? Is it a privilege only for the good-looking ones?" The receptionist lady leaned her cheek in her hand. She sighed as she stared at the talented young genius's back with a dreamy expression.
"Yo, boss. We've come fully equipped as we talked about yesterday." Rico raised his hand in greeting.
"Your preparations are so fast. As expected of the fifteenth special squad. How about the condition of your arm? Are you ready to avenge your suffering to the zombies, Rico?" Zayn walked closer to a group of soldiers near several military vehicles.
"Haha, I'm fully recovered. It's a bit painful at times, but everything will be fine. Those zombies will pay a heavy price." Rico moved his arm.
"I'm glad to hear that. You're all well. We're going into the danger zone for a risky field test. Are you ready to die? If not, you can back off now." Zayn patted a nice armored hummer as he stared at every soldier.
"What do you say, Zayn? We've got a huge promotion as a special squad to assist you in missions. We even got some advanced weapons and war vehicles because of that. We'll be escorting you on your latest test serum to the wild zombies." Steven patted Zayn's shoulder and glanced at everyone. He got everyone's approval.
Ever since Zayn had gotten a drastic promotion in rank and privileges, the fifteenth squad was also splashed with luck. Their squad received a big promotion and upgrade. While that might seem like a piece of good news, it also came with bad conditions.
Their squad was promoted to a special squad, several ranks above their previous position in the military. However, they wouldn't get any more promotions as their job was mainly focused on escorting and helping the young genius scientist Zayn with his research.
"I'm glad to hear that. I'll drive this car. We're leaving now." Zayn got into the car of his choice and opened the door for Angie.
After that, he rode his hummer and several military vehicles followed in escort formation.
Somewhere in the lab building, a bespectacled man watched Zayn's entourage leave with a glint in his eyes.
"Boss, they have left the base." Someone reported the situation via a walkie-talkie.
"I know about it. Proceed to plan phase two." The bespectacled man grinned and looked up slightly. The sun's rays made his glasses shine.
"Roger that." Someone on the other side of the walkie-talkie responded curtly, then quickly got to work.
At that point, Zayn had no idea what awaited him at the base. After a few minutes of driving, they came to an overpass outside the city.
"Rico is here. Boss, where are we going?" Rico asked via walkie-talkie. Zayn hadn't told their destination yet, leaving the entire squad confused.
"Zayn's here. We're heading towards the western city. There aren't many zombie variants here due to routine cleaning. I've already told you. We're going into a dangerous zone. So, please stay alert and be prepared for any unexpected encounters." Zayn responds to the walkie-talkie call.
"Roger. But which city?" Rico continued his question.
"The city where we met for the first time. It should already be a very dangerous place with lots of zombies and mutated monsters. We'll be doing some field tests on our way there." Zayn looked west, and so did Angie.
"!~" Angie's mood was blooming and cheerful. They would take a lot of cheese and hunt. It was almost a week since the time of that event.
"Cough... That town is only about twenty miles north of City X. It's a beyond dangerous zone.
However, I suggest only entering the eastern region, boss. We will keep more than twenty-five miles from the forbidden city." Rico coughed and explained a bit.
"Huh, why is that?" Zayn felt a little confused.
"That's because around City X there have appeared several super zombies. They can destroy tanks with their physical strength and shoot down passing jets with just rocks and debris. City X is a forbidden city and the twenty five miles around that city is an beyond dangerous zone." Rico sighed at the end of his explanation.
"All right, I understand. We're not going too deep, to begin with. Our final place is the suburbs. So, we'll be fine." Zayn gave his reassurance.
"Roger." Rico responded briefly, then ended the call.
Zayn's entourage went west on a detour, which was a reasonably safe path.
