Chapter 405: Eyes on a single person
"What did you just say, Merlene?"
After asking that question, Airon's eyes fixed on a rifle on the ground and after grabbing an extra magazine, he aimed at the people on the ground directly at their heads before pulling the trigger.
Bang bang bang bang!
The four people received shots to their heads, the bullets penetrated their foreheads and shattered the back of their necks. It's easy to say that these people would not pose a threat after death, they would not turn into walkers.
After finishing off all the people he could see, Airon smiled, took a deep breath, and relaxed his whole body.
At the same time, he also heard gunfire from outside under the stadium.
However, even though the enemies seemed to be being eliminated, Airon did not look at Merlene. Instead, his eyes were fixed forward, and he continued walking.
But after walking for a few more minutes, there was a door in front of the hallway that was suddenly and forcefully opened.
Click!
Airon raised his weapon and prepared to shoot at any time, but with skill and strong reaction, he knew that figure had no weapon that threatened his safety so he relaxed a bit.
"Don't shoot, please!"
Airon, who saw this person appear, did nothing, just waited for them to approach.
But at the same time, a figure was following the person who had just entered. That person wore a gas mask, held a pair of long knives, and ran fearlessly toward their enemy.
"Help me!"
But before they could make any other noise, the masked person threw their knives at the back of the person they were chasing, and they fell to the ground after spitting up a mouthful of blood.
"Why did you take so long?" Airon asked with an indifferent look and said, "If you had taken a few more minutes, I might have died."
"I'm sorry, commander!"
Joel and Tommy approached to see what was going on and were stunned to see a person lying on the ground with two large knives embedded in their back.
"Why did you kill him? He's a civilian!"
Airon was getting more and more tired of Merlene, he was really considering being less passive in this situation, but he looked at the masked woman also waiting for answers.
"Sir!" The masked figure removed their mask revealing a female face no older than seventeen. "This man shouted that we would kill everyone, then pulled out a gun and fired it into the air, causing many to feel uneasy and start shooting."
"Considering the magnitude of the danger, we took lethal measures against those who held their weapons against our people and began clearing the area. Not long before that, we took control of the machine guns and right now those who have not surrendered are being eliminated."
Airon looked at Merlene as if to say if that was a sufficient explanation, so after saying it was a good job, everyone left. By then, the female soldier had handcuffed Merlene, Karla, Manny, and the others who had not shown resistance.
Under Airon's instructions, neither Joel nor Tommy were considered enemies, but all of them were now allies under the care of the S.C.T.
...
In an open space, many people were being formed after a thorough registration. They all had serious expressions, some were crying, and others had amputated parts of their bodies as doctors tried to save their lives.
Outside, dozens of people dressed in a gray suit that covered every part of their body and were heavily armed looked at this place in silence.
"Considering that the CRM currently has a little over 100,000 people, do you think the Fireflies can do anything, Joel?"
Without waiting for answers, he approached the commanding sergeant and said, "Mendez, it's always a pleasure to see you on the battlefield."
When the voice surprised Mendez, he shouted and saluted, "Glory to humanity, commander!"
"Glory to humanity, commander!"
All the soldiers made a respectful salute as they looked at Airon with a proud smile. Being on the battlefield alongside their commander is becoming increasingly difficult, and many people in this place could only hear stories that they considered very unreal about their commander from their colleagues.
But even if these were fantasy stories, everyone preferred to believe that those stories were real. And both Merlene and the rest saw and felt the respect that everyone had for Airon regardless of what was behind those masks, which gave them an understanding of many things.
"Give me a report on the losses," Said Airon with an expression of indifference as he watched the people in this base being placed under arrest.
"It was a quick operation, the leader's order in this place helped us take the most difficult points almost immediately, so there were only a few injured due to bullet impacts on their suits, but they are only bruises," Sergeant Mendez responded immediately with a firm voice.
"And the enemy?" Airon looked around and saw the corpses being placed in body bags and taken to a special place.
"At least seventy and counting, they were the ones who opened fire first, so..." But before Mendez could continue speaking, Airon immediately interrupted him and said, "Don't try to justify it, we are only defending ourselves from our enemies."
"Yes, sir." Mendez's eyes lit up upon hearing that.
Losses and pain are unavoidable, Airon was aware that many will direct their pain towards someone and that someone was Airon, who didn't have a mask on his face.
The brains of these people are somewhat peculiar, so Airon knew that it was natural for many to hate him now that he had possibly killed many loved ones of those who now remain alive.
But that doesn't matter, the empire he has built now is and will be much greater than any other. Yes, he's not afraid to be hated since that's normal, he's afraid of not being recognized and that his orders won't be accepted.
Everyone knew that would happen, and they would accept any kind of order that would be given to them right now. But many who knew Airon knew he wasn't that reckless, so they stepped aside and waited.
