The prolonged and arduous engagement with the zombies and Lin Feng's associates in Hong Kong had finally drawn to a close. Under the combined efforts of Blackwatch and the United States Armed Forces, the region was now declared clear of any immediate threats. Richard, who had been at the helm of the operation throughout its duration, had been operating without pause, driven by the knowledge that unforeseen complications could arise at any moment. Now, with the mission successfully concluded, he allowed himself a moment of reprieve, a deep sigh of relief marking the end of constant vigilance.
The clearance of Hong Kong was not just a military victory; it was a strategic win that opened up numerous possibilities for future operations. The city could now serve as a vital staging point for Blackwatch and the United States Armed Forces, providing a foothold in the region that was crucial for both logistics and operations planning.
