The Colonel looked at his subordinates with a flash of hurt in his eyes. He sighed, and turned the gun to his own temple, closing his eyes and pulling the trigger.
Peng!
Following the gunshot, the Colonel slumped to the ground slowly. He wasn’t willing to betray his own principles and hand this base to Yue Zhong. However, he could not bring himself to kill his subordinates. Furthermore, he had already lost his loved ones to the zombies, there was nothing holding him back. Thus, he committed suicide.
"Colonel!!"
"Colonel!!"
"..."
Seeing that the Colonel had committed suicide, the soldiers under him could not help but shed tears. This superior of theirs had treated them well and fairly through the years, and they were upset that he had chosen to die.
"Colonel, we’re sorry!" Nangong Yang came up to the body and saluted, before going to the monitors and spoke into the mic, "I’m the one in charge of this nuclear base, Nangong Yan. Who are you people?"
