The setup was situated at a distant part of the New Clark Worldwide Airport, which had been repurposed as a makeshift launchpad for his or her army operations.
As he watched, a technician approached him with an replace. “Sir, the nuclear missiles are being calibrated as per the brand new coordinates. We anticipate to finish the setup throughout the hour.”
Richard nodded, acknowledging the replace. “Be certain that all security measures are strictly adopted. We will not afford any errors,” he instructed firmly.
Simply then, Mark entered the room, approaching Richard. “Sir, there’s Maria Santos right here to see you.”
“Actually? Nicely, what does she want?” Richard requested.
“Concerning the camp, I feel it is vital. It’s a must to see her,” Mark urged.

Maybe a speech from the commander-in-chief to announce this choice can be helpful. It may assist ease any tensions and set the tone for our new unified neighborhood.”
Richard thought-about the suggestion. “That is a good suggestion however I am in the midst of one thing.”
“Have to be the rocket noises,” Maria guessed. “Talking of rockets, the noise they produce causes disturbance to the camp. Is it okay for me to ask why you’re launching these missiles?”
“Ah…that,” Richard smacked his lips. “We’re firing missiles on the enemy, zombies. Nothing so that you can get involved about.”
He cannot inform her that they’re launching ICBM the world over.
Maria regarded barely uncertain however selected to not press the difficulty additional. “I see. Nicely, so long as it ensures the security of the camp, I suppose it’s a necessity.”
“Sure, it is all about conserving everybody secure.”
“Okay, how about contacts from different teams or international locations? Has there any been luck?” Maria requested.
“Hmm…we expect the nationwide governments of different international locations are hiding of their bunkers. I do not imagine that international international locations completely collapsed from the apocalypse. In reality, there’s one, it is the USA. We do not know for sure however we imagine they’re nonetheless lively,” Richard mentioned.
“America…that is good to listen to,” Maria replied thoughtfully. Sensing that the dialog was nearing its finish, she stood up. “Nicely, I will go away you be, Mr. Richard.”
