David was being let to the General"s tent, however when they had arrived at the tent David was asked to stay for a while since the commander wanted to ask permission to meet the General.The general"s tent looked like every other tent on the campus however it was bigger and had guards stationed at the entrance. One of them looked at him in contempt and the other with fear.
Moments later, the commander went outside the tent as he went near David and escorted him inside the tent after they entered the tent, the general smiled as he greeted him with the utmost respect. "Welcome to the survival camp. I am Lieutenant General Tullius Mccoy, May I ask for esteemed master"s name?"
David lightly smiled as he replied, "I am David Ombra, also a survivor like you." then he changed his tone to a slightly colder one as he asked the general. "Tell me generally, do you want these people to live or do you want them to starve to death here?"
The General squinted his eyes as he replied "Of course I want to save them. What use have I both as a General and a Human being if I cannot save these innocent people."
David looked at the Generals eyes, His eyes were full of resolution, even though the general was h.e.l.l-bent on saving these people, however, if you look closely there is fear as well as a tint of desolation behind his eyes that we"re full of resolution and dedication to his people.
Then he told the general. "That is good but don"t let your fear get ahead of you and your goal, back to the topic. Do you have some working vehicles?"
And the general replied. "Most of the vehicles won"t work but there are 2 M1117 ASV, 3 Humvees and a surprisingly a Jumbo-Cla.s.s Cruiser Bus." David was about to ask another question but Tullius replied like he knew what was going to be asked. "We have nearly 400 people living on the campus, Around 90 of which are moderately wounded but 18 are severely wounded and there are 73 soldiers on and off duty."
David smiled as turned around and told the General. "Gather the people and turn on the vehicles. We will go to a safer place. We will leave after an hour and a half" after he went out he called the commander and asked him to get Michael.
Nearly a minute after, Michael arrived as he looked at David seriously as he said "We need to help these people. Some are at death"s door already." David replied "Don"t worry about this. We will take all the people to the Village since there are 6 vehicles that are ready to deploy."
Michael sighed in relief as he thanked him. David also told him to get the twins so they will help them in escorting the transportation vehicles without getting attacked or destroyed.
David entered the Gymnasium, it reeked of blood and there were many people lying on the ground, however, there is a schoolgirl lying on the ground crying with multiple scratch wounds and some bite wounds that have yet to be treated, she gave off an aura that makes others uncomfortable but David was very familiar with this aura.
He asked one of the medics why the girl was not treated yet. The medic, however, shook her head as she said that no one would like to go near her. So David made up his mind as he went near the girl.
When he approached her, the girl suddenly shouted as she begged him "Don"t go near me! I don"t want to hurt you!"
He acted as if he had not heard the girl"s begging as he continued going near the girl and when he was about to ask her if she was okay but her eyes turned green as a black substance covered her arms.
When David saw this he smiled as he determined that he will help her overcome this mutation of hers.
She attacked using her claws but David just dodged every attack but at the right moment he had hit her neck strong enough to knock her out cold for a day. David used his identification skill on her if his a.s.sumptions were correct

Her status panel astonished David since it had exceeded his expectations since he was expecting a Dark skin armor mutation. He was not expecting a higher rank variant of a corpse devourer. He will personally teach this girl to make her a powerful general to his army.
He treated her wounds by st.i.tching the deep wounds and wrapping the shallow wounds in gauze after putting antibiotics.
Around 10 minutes later, the twins arrived as they were covered in blood. David let them rest since they would probably fight non-stop for a certain period of time later on.
Then time pa.s.sed as 30 minutes were left until the departure time. David called General Tullius as well as Michael and the Twins to discuss some plans that he had in mind.
David looked at them and said "We have two paths to choose on, The Eastern highway which is the closest path toward our village but the highway had too many mutations roaming the streets and occasional hordes pa.s.sing by or attacking the mutations. Or the Northeast intersection which has lesser mutations and zombies roaming but it would take too much time to arrive at the village."
General Tullius was silent as he was deep in thought but Xiao Che the reckless one suggested "How about we take the eastern highway, let"s just ram the zombies and mutations." but his brother Xiao Yao the smarter one disagreed "Even if we ram through the zombies they will still follow us and after we arrive at the base of the village how would we unload the villagers?"
The silent General Tullius suddenly talked"How about we use a luring tactic. We will need to use a Humvee and 3 soldiers as bait for the zombies and mutations."
David thought about it for a while and said "It would be dangerous to let the Humvee go as bait since it will be very bad if it were to be destroyed. Yao can you join the Humvee bait just in case a mutated zombie comes or a large horde would attack so the Humvee won"t be too damaged or destroyed."
Xiao Yao grinned when he heard the question of David as he replied enthusiastically "Of course I would join it is too boring here since the monsters are still weak right now."
After telling Yao what he will do David continued to talk. "The formation if the cars would be like this. The Bus in the middle, A Humvee at the left and right side, and the 2 ASVs at the back. Michael, Xiao Che and I will lead the Caravan. Remember, the formation of how we go there will still be the formation to go back here. Any Question?"
Everyone shook their heads and David told them to prepare before getting dismissed except for the General. David looked at the General and said "When we arrive at the village you will still be the General of these soldiers but don"t forget that I am the leader of the village. If any of your soldiers do something inexcusable I have the right to execute him or her on the spot."
After saying his piece, David went out of the tent and looked at lined up cars that were about to be used. David went near the bus and he saw 3 army mechanics doing maintenance of the bus.
One of them walked up to him as the mechanic greeted him, David nodded as he told the Mechanics to reinforce the windows using bulletproof gla.s.s. and some metal sheets covering the windows so the people inside the bus won"t puke rainbows. The mechanic told him that the windows of the bus are already bulletproof and they still have to nail the metal sheets onto the bus since it would be a great idea.
David had nothing more to do so he had just meditate to revitalize himself and regenerate both Health and Mana.
Time slowly pa.s.sed and it was already time for departure, People see already inside the vehicles, vehicles are already in the formation and the bait squad is already waiting for the operation to start.
