CHAPTER XXXV

"Captain! Who were you talking to? ”

After Task Force Scout Sean completed his mission with Captain Parker, he returned to the blast vehicle.

He was about to report to Parker, but he saw someone the captain was talking to. So he didn't bother him, and waited until Captain Parker finished the call, and Sean didn't speak.

"Oh! I'm talking to Lieutenant Henry. Has the town been cleared of all the infected? ”

Task Force Leader Parker had just finished his video call with Henry when Sean's voice arrived behind him.

"All the infected in Locke Town have been cleared, it's just ......"

Sean truthfully explained the results of the mission to the captain, but he seemed to have something to say.

"What do you want to say?"

Parker motioned for Sean not to hold back and say everything he had to say.

"It's strange that no survivors have been found in the town other than the infected!"

Sean nodded, and spoke out the doubts in his heart.

"They're probably all gone, right?"

Parker didn't take the situation described by Sean to heart.

"Pass my orders! Let the team members pick a random place to rest and relax! ”

Parker rubbed his sore shoulder, put his hand on Sean's shoulder and smiled.

"Yes!"

Sean understood what the captain meant, and turned to leave.

"It's safe in town, shall we go inside?"

After Sean leaves, Parker calls for the vice-captain.

"Okay, everyone's spirits are too tense, it's time to rest!"

The vice-captain glanced at the team members who were busy in the town and said what he and the team members thought.

"Well, let them not forget to collect some supplies, they may not have a chance in the future!"

Parker said as he looked at the vice-captain earnestly.

"That's for sure! Oh yes! Do you want to arrange for someone to keep watch tonight? ”

The Vice-Captain fears that the infected will attack the task force at night, so he asks the Captain for his opinion.

"To be on the safe side, it's business as usual!"

The vice-captain and the captain Parker had the same idea, and Parker also thought it was necessary.

"Yes! Then I'll take Corey to join Sean? ”

The vice-captain called Corey out of the explosion-proof car and asked for the captain's opinion.

"Go ahead! Be sure to make sure he's safe! ”

Parker's eyes met Cory. Stan, who gave the vice-captain a special order before they left.

"Okay!"

With that, the vice-captain took Corey into Locketown.

"I hope nothing goes wrong......"

Captain Parker watched the sun slowly disappear from view, praying in his heart that he would be able to survive the night safely......

It didn't take long for it to get completely dark.

"Sean, you take a team member to do a good job of protection!"

The vice-captain assigned one of Sean's two to take precautions around the town.

The so-called "protection" actually refers to the early warning facilities to prevent the surprise attack of infected people, which are mainly composed of surveillance cameras and sensor devices.

"Yes, sir! You! Follow me! ”

After giving a military salute to the vice-captain, Sean pointed to one of the team members and motioned for him to come with him.

"Oh, good!"

The named task force members were stunned for a moment, and then followed Sean to the blast vehicle.

"It's the sensors, you take them, remember to set them evenly around the town, and not a single corner can be left behind. I see? ”

Sean got into the explosion-proof car first and pulled out a whole bunch of electronics from inside. He turned around and shoved them into the team behind him, and told him again and again.

“…… But I won't......"

The team members looked confused, saying that they didn't know how to operate at all.

"I'll teach you later!"

Sean expected him to say that, so he told him not to worry. With that, Sean continued to look for something.

"So you're here!"

Sean searched for a while and finally found what he was looking for.

"Let's go! Come with me! ”

Sean was holding several metal poles in his arms, along with cameras on them. Presumably this is the surveillance camera, he closed the car door and led the team out of town......

"The sensor and security cameras have been installed, so I can take a break!"

Sean and his team worked hard for almost an hour before they got all the work done. He stretched and said "pleasantly".

"Do these things really protect against the intested?"

The team members looked at the screen and seemed skeptical.

"Don't underestimate these things, they can save your life at a critical moment!"

Sean threw himself into the comfy seat and sold off.

"I don't understand!"

Sean didn't plan to explain the principle of this, and he couldn't figure it out, so the team members simply didn't want to.

"Hey! Sean! It's too boring to just keep it like this, why don't we have some fun too? ”

The team member touched Sean with his elbow and said mysteriously.

"What's the fun?"

Sean didn't know what medicine he was selling in his gourd, so he asked curiously.

"Oh, that's it!"

With that, the team member took out a bottle of wine from his bosom and two small glasses from his pocket.

"Where did you find that?"

When Sean saw that there was wine to drink, he was immediately interested. He took the bottle from the team member and dragged it around.

"I've seen that this is a good wine, I found it in a big family's house!"

The team members proudly introduced the source of the wine, looking very proud.

"Forget it...... We're on duty all night! ”

Sean can't remember the last time he drank, and this bottle of wine completely hooked his "gluttony". But looking back, I couldn't drink alcohol during the mission, so I had to reluctantly return the wine.

"Hey! Nothing will happen. Besides, aren't there these machines, what are you afraid of? ”

The team members probably didn't want to drink alone, so they began to persuade Sean.

"No, no, no! I don't drink! ”

Sean pushed back the bottle that had been handed over, and in fact his heart had begun to waver.

"Why can they all eat and drink in the house, but can't?"

When the team members said this, they felt very unbalanced in their hearts. Indeed, the rest of the team members who did not have to keep vigil enjoyed themselves in the house and even had a party. All this, Sean is looking at it.

"Then ...... Take a sip? ”

Sean was finally moved by the team's advice and agreed to share the wine with him.

"Come, come, come! Drink it up! ”

……

In this way, Sean, who was in charge of the night, and another team member drank in the equipment car, and no one could have imagined that a crisis was brewing......

"Captain Parker!"

Task Force Leader Parker was sitting by the fireplace, watching the burning flames and dozing.

"Oh...... It's you! Have a seat! ”

Just as Parker seemed to be asleep, Corey's voice made him sleepy. He beckoned Corey to sit down, and politely pulled over a chair.

"Sorry to disturb you!"

Corey doesn't know that Parker is almost asleep, so he apologizes for his actions.

"Oh, it's okay. Is there something you can do? ”

Parker said it didn't matter, but in his heart he still minded.

"It's nothing, I just want to talk to you!"

Corey sat in his chair, looking reserved.

"It's about your son, right?"

Parker looked at the preoccupied Corey and guessed what was on his mind.

"yes, I'm still begging you to help me find him! After all, Zach is my biological son......"

As a father, Corey knew he wasn't a good father. After all these years, he wanted to make amends to Zach. But I can't think of any good way but to ensure his safety.

"Hmm...... Well, I can give it a try...... But I can't give you any guarantees, I hope you understand! ”

Parker had turned down Corey before, but this time he didn't choose to turn down Corey's request.

"I understand! Thank you! ”

Corey was very happy to see Parker agree. He bowed deeply to Parker and turned to leave.

Captain Parker looked at Corey's somewhat aged back, and his heart was mixed......
