The next day, in the command center.
"Everyone, I first want to apologize." Xiaoyun bowed down in front of everyone in the room.
"It's my failure that I couldn't prevent this tragedy... I'm sincerely sorry."
Seeing Xiaoyun bowed down with no sign of getting back up, Yezi decided to speak up.
"No plan is perfect. At least we learned that those zombie mutants can come in packs like those."
"Yeah, Commander Xiaoyun, there's no need to be so harsh on yourself... Everyone knows the risk they are signing up for." Han Bang spoke up.
Xiaoyun finally gradually got back up, but his face still looked very down.
"You guys are right... But I cannot excuse myself for this big of a failure... Almost a hundred dead. A. Hundred. Soldiers."
Suddenly, Xiaoyun's face changed as if he had decided something in his head.
"Today, I'm going to step down as the commander, and Yezi——"
"Absolutely not." Yezi instantly rejected the proposal.
