Chapter 160 - Gathering (III)

Mark raised an eye when he heard they also included Steve in the team. It seemed like the General wasn't scared to put both his sons on the line to get the mission done. He nodded and walked deeper into the room and saw various boards and also a town map on the table.

He sat on a chair and said, "Alright, it's best if you guys start telling what you can bring to the table. I already have a rough plan, which is very simple. Depending on your capabilities, I will change it." While scanning each and everyone apart from Denton and Steve. 

There were a pair of lanky twins, a macho man, and a woman. The twins were in contrast to each other. One had red hair who was very energetic and the other grey hair who looked like it bore him. The macho man was brimming with fighting spirit as he looked at Mark. The woman was the only person who looked normal as she stood silently at the back. 

Steve looked at his teammates and gave a nod. Everyone stepped ahead and introduced themselves properly and their strength. First was the overly energetic twin. His name was Max and was basically a scout and look out for the team. He could run quickly and be very handy in finding the location of the people. He almost went on to tell his whole autobiography until Steve stopped him. 

The next was his twin. He was a normal soldier who was fairly well at using guns compared to the average soldier. His name was John. He didn't go further from the topic at hand. 

After that was the Bulky man. His name was Don. He focused mainly on using heavy guns like machine guns. He could also use weapons like axes and pack a powerful punch. He immediately tried to challenge Mark to a fight after his introduction but was kept quiet by Steve. He was the basic muscle head in the group.

Last but not the least was the woman. She was the strategist person in the group, but not only that she was also the sniper in their group. Her name was Emma. She was also a senior to everyone else except Steve in the group. She remained calm after that while looking at Mark. Mark ignored her and turned to Steve. 

"What about the special person? Is he or she not here yet?" 

Steve scratched his head and said, "Well, it's Denton. He is the mutant in our camp. That is why he is here." pointing towards his brother. 

Mark looked at him, then at Denton before nodding. Now it explained why the weak man was in this group. He was the lucky bastard who mutated. 

"And what is Denton's special mutant power?" 

Steve looked at Denton and nodded. Denton went to the wall and punched it. It formed a dent. He turned back and looked at Mark with a grin, trying to show off his new powers. But Mark didn't think much of it, why? Because he had a member in his group with the same power. 

"Like you just saw, he has gotten a physical power-up. We ran some tests on its limit and we can say he can lift a car easily. So he could cause some considerable amount of damage in the upcoming battle." 

Mark nodded, hearing him. He found out Suzie was actually a bit stronger than Denton. Suzie could probably lift an army tank easily. A car was only worth one of her hands. But he didn't voice them out at all. 

"Alright, I got the general idea of everyone in here. Now tell me about the situation of our opposition. What are we going up against and how much area do they cover? I heard they expanded quite a lot from the last time I went into their base." 

Steve nodded and looked at Emma. Emma simply stood up and went in front of the desk where the map was laid out with a few red dots and circles everywhere. 

She pointed at the red dot in the middle and said, "This is their main camp. They are using a school for it. Now they started to branch out and try to kill zombies in the surrounding area so they could expand. The intel we got from the scouts was that they have outposts in these areas. So if we want to take their primary base out, we need to sneak in without getting noticed and then strike them quickly." Pointing at a few smaller circles which surrounded the red dot and then gave her own small plan. The plan was straightforward. 

Mark hummed as he saw the map and heard her plan. He didn't give much thought to her plan. It was dumb and risky. He wondered how she became the strategist of the group. First of all, it would be hella tough for them to sneak in with a large group. Even if they were successful in sneaking in, it is impossible to take the primary base out without getting noticed. There would be people making rounds in the streets. The gangsters weren't dumb. 

After they strike the base, the people guarding the outposts and who were outside can easily attack them from the backside. A pincer attack was something they should avoid at all costs. So the plan was thrown out the window. 

"Hmm, yeah, the plan is dumb." So, he flat out refused it. There was no nicer way to say it. 

Emma frowned a little but didn't reply. She was just giving a suggestion. She didn't put much thought into this plan because Steve already told her the team they were working with already had one and they just need to follow. But getting shot down like that wasn't much nice either. 

"So now with that out of the way, let's get to the plan I put together the last two days. It's rather simple, a distraction game."
