章節 69: CH. 69: A suicidal plan
Oh no guys, we are almost on the boundary on top 30.
Send help!
*Ahem* Stones, I mean.

Rika reached the base and asked the captain for entry. They had to be sneaky or even a thick metal door would be destroyed by some blows from the Titan-type.
Soon, the metal door slid open.
"Be quick," the soldier urged.
Rika hurried inside and arrived at the meeting room. The room was quiet with many soldiers and privileged VIPs sitting on the couches. Several guns rested on the table in the centre and the corner of the room.
'Are we heading out?'
Her Captain, a stone-faced man rose from his seat. "Welcome back, Rika. Is the mission complete?"
Rika did a quick salute. "It is!"
"Great," He said and looked behind Rika. "But where is officer Tajima?"
"He…"
The captain sighed. "I understand, no need to explain."
Only some of the soldiers stood up and gave a salute in respect to Tajima. Others didn't even bat an eye at his loss.
"We don't have time for this," said a brunette wearing a high-class dress. She glanced at Rika. "The base at the Elementary school needs our help."
"Are we clearing the area now?" Rika asked as a smile formed on her lips.
"We are going to head out tomorrow," Captain said and turned to Rika. "However, you and the Irregular Squad are going to protect the Prime Minister and Cabinet during the International Conference in Tokyo Prefecture."
'What?'
Her eyes widened. "I am not going to Tokonosu Prefecture?"
"Your strength will be a valuable asset."
Rika regained her composure and saluted. "I understand."
"Good, now rest. Tomorrow will be hectic."
She saluted in response.

Time – 1120 Hrs
Standing before the window of her room, Rika lit up a cigarette. The 15th floor was reserved for honorable soldiers while any survivor inhabited the floors below this one.
She gazed out of the window.
A nice view of the devastated island.
Titan-type devoured the smaller ones. After eating some of them, its body went through growth.
She had the urge to pick up her sniper and blast its head off.
Shizuka and Asahi's face popped in her head. She clenched her fist and punched the window.
"Fuck."
If she went with Captain, there would be zero chance of returning to Tokonosu Prefecture. With her top-notch strength, she would always remain assigned to protect the VIPs.
A clumsy woman like Shizuka would be taken advantage of in times like these. Asahi being half dork didn't help much. Though she liked the boy for his sweet innocence. Now, no other man could catch her interest.
She slapped her face. Now wasn't the time to think about it.
'I just hoped the two stayed holed up in my apartment, or traded my guns to survive under someone else.'
But.
What if they didn't?
What if…
The worst case scenario...
Just what could she do here?
Abandon her orders and run?
That would be the same as betraying the country.
She threw the half-burnt cigarette and crushed it.
'I don't give a damn.'
She will pay up the consequences later. Right now, making sure of the siblings's safety took priority.
Choppers, planes, and boats.
Three ways out of here. She knew nothing about choppers and planes. But riding a boat wasn't difficult.
Reaching the docks is going to be difficult.
A plan was what she needed to break through the hordes surrounding the Docks area.
The creatures had taken over the Airfield and Docks as if these things knew the escape route of humans.
She took out a briefcase hidden beneath her bed. A few of her treasured guns were packed in it.
She had to choose her weapons carefully.
Some water containers too.
She could use the spears while she reloaded the guns. God, how much she wished to pick up a Minigun like a certain Cyborg and grill everyone in her way. However, it was impossible even with her magic. The recoil would hurt her body.
'It's so impractical to carry a Minigun.'
Still, nothing stopped a woman from dreaming while she cleaned up her beloved H&K PSG-1, a customized marksman rifle. A suppressor was necessary for any weapon, or the horde would become never-ending.
She went out and borrowed some water bottles in the name of research. The captain agreed with a smile. There was no shortage of water on this island but taking it without permission would be suspicious.
On her way back, she sensed a gaze piercing her back. She glanced at the brunette smiling widely with her arms crossed on her chest.
Rika felt a chill down her spine. Still, she smiled at the brunette before walking towards her room.
'I need to be wary of her.'
People like her were the most troublesome bunch.
What was her name again? Natsumi Aizawa if I remember correctly.
