Doomsday America.

Chapter 318 Division of Labor

Meanwhile, inside the restaurant.

Gavin's departure, though quiet, still drew everyone's attention.

As for the internal and logistical staff, whatever Gavin and the Brotherhood guys talked about didn't affect their work.

Given the current situation at the camp, the internal affairs and logistics work is almost fixed, consisting mainly of patrolling, standing guard, digging pits, and cooking.

But fieldwork is a different story.

As Gavin left the restaurant, a small commotion broke out at the tables occupied by the field staff.

Beside Scarface Barn, his lover, Adele, who worked in the office, absentmindedly raised her hand and grabbed Barn's hand as he was putting apple pie into his mouth with a fork, whispering, "Barn, are we about to have another big operation?"

"Um?"

Upon hearing this, Barn paused slightly, then chuckled and replied while swallowing the pie.

"Of course, judging from the boss's appearance today, this operation is probably going to be big. If I remember correctly, even during our previous operation to rescue the astronauts, the boss didn't look this serious." After saying this, Barn couldn't help but purse his lips, then picked up his drink and took a sip.

Just as he was gulping down his water, Adele took a deep breath and brought her mouth close to Barn's side, saying something.

"If it's a big operation, then...you'll definitely be there, darling?"

"Of course. Although I am not the official team leader or vice-leader, my training results are excellent, and I joined the camp very early. I am definitely a mainstay in the field operations," Barn replied confidently.

"So, as long as the boss's operation is big enough, I'll definitely be there. Darling, your husband is the first echelon of the camp's field operations team, and the absolute cornerstone of the camp!" With that, Barn smiled and hugged Adele, leaning over to peck Adele's cheek.

And Adele...

She licked her lips fiercely and suddenly spoke to Barn in a harsh tone.

"In that case... Barn, whatever you do, don't forget our promise: kill every single cultist you see, every single one!" In this short conversation, Barn had already used the word "of course" for the third time.

However, this time Barn was no longer calm; instead, he revealed his undisguised ferocity.

Although the wound on his face had long since healed, the scar was still fresh, with the scab showing a bright red color!

And as the crimson scar of the sacred flame writhed along with Barn's muscles.

His face looked a million times more ferocious!

And when Barn and Adele locked eyes, they exchanged sinister and ruthless smiles.

Not far away, Adriana silently left the table and went to Diana, who was sitting at another table.

As soon as she sat down, Adriana grinned, put her arm around Diana's shoulder, and said...

"My luck is really good! My punishment period just ended, and I'm caught up in today's big operation!"

"Do you have any inside information about what happened today? Where are we going? Most importantly, who are we going to kill? Are they the damn zombies, or humans who are even more despicable than zombies!" As she said this, Adriana's smile became even more unrestrained and arrogant.

Her words fully represent her truest inner attitude.

To her, she herself was someone who had been hurt by the living after the apocalypse.

After arriving at the camp, she witnessed firsthand how fellow travelers like Barn and Adele, as well as Tara and Nancy, were harmed by other living people. And needless to say, the longer the apocalypse lasted, the less humanity remained in the world.

Therefore, Adriana now prefers to shove bullets and knives into the heads of living people rather than hate zombies! She loves blood, and even more so, she loves the pairs of eyes covered in blood that were once fierce and ruthless, but now desperately beg for mercy!

What's more, she's been cleaning for over forty days now, and she's really going stir-crazy!

She wants war, absolute war, she wants to kill!

Even though Diana wasn't looking at Adriana, she could hear her increasingly heavy breathing.

Faced with that breathing sound, Diana remained silent for a moment, then pinched Andriana's buttocks in annoyance and scolded.

"Tsk tsk, you little bitch, why don't you use that ferocity in bed? Why do you always think about fighting and killing?" "Besides, you haven't participated in field operations for over forty days. If you want to keep up with the big operation, you need to familiarize yourself with it for a while longer." "So, I guess the boss won't take you out this time. You'd better keep holding back, you pervert."

At this point, Diana chuckled softly, then placed her knife and fork on the plate, picked up the plate, and left.

Although there were staff at home to clean the dining room, most of the time, the field crew didn't mind taking their own plates to the kitchen to wash. Watching Diana's retreating figure, Adriana paused slightly, then quickly got up and chased after her, saying as she did so, "Hey, don't walk so fast, and don't tell me you don't understand what I'm thinking."

"Guess why I specifically brought this up with you? I hope you can support me, sister. I need to be involved in this operation, you have to support me!" "Yes, yes, yes, I support you."

Diana shrugged indifferently at Adriana's request.

Of course she would support Adriana, since Adriana is her best friend now.

Since Margaret's death, many of the women who joined the camp later have been living in fear, becoming extremely docile and rarely forming cliques. Moreover, there weren't many women who had joined the field missions to begin with; besides Adriana, there weren't many left.

Rather than teaming up with others, Diana genuinely preferred working with Adriana. The woman was forthright, ruthless, and provided a strong sense of security. Adriana, having received her answer, finally grinned with satisfaction, then leaned in and nibbled on Diana's ear as a gesture of thanks. Meanwhile, behind them, at the dining area...

After exchanging a glance, Edward picked up the walkie-talkie and spoke softly.

"Guys, you've almost finished eating, right? Now, all field operation team leaders and deputy leaders, assemble in the lobby!"

"In addition, all field staff are ready for action and await the boss's orders."

"That's all for now. I'm going to have coffee in the lobby. Anyone want to join me?"

After speaking, Edward turned and headed towards the hall, with Eugene and William following behind him.

As they left, the other field team leaders also stood up one by one, their expressions calm as they walked toward the hall.

Among them, Madison's figure stood out, and his presence undoubtedly attracted the attention of many people.

On the other hand, outside the manor, in front of the wolf enclosure.

Hearing Edward's voice on the walkie-talkie, Gavin patted the wolf king Kiley's head one last time, then turned and left the wolf park, heading towards the hall.

"Boss!"

"Boss!!!"

"grown ups!"

"His Majesty!"

As Gavin walked toward the lobby amidst the greetings of his fellow workers, he glanced at the men around him.

Gavin stopped abruptly when his gaze fell upon the exceptionally tall, black figure, then hurried towards it. "Madison!"

Gavin let out a soft exclamation, then walked up to Old Man Mack, patted him heavily on the shoulder, and then leaned down slightly to look at Old Man Mack's ankles. Noticing Gavin's gaze, Old Man Mack grinned and spoke to Gavin.

"Boss, stop looking, I'm completely healed!"

"Recently, there haven't been many field operations that I've been actively involved in. You know, I prefer working with you; we're the best partners." With that, Old Mike lifted his injured foot and stomped it a few times. Not satisfied with that, he rolled up his trouser leg and showed Gavin his dark, muscular ankle. After a quick glance, Old Mike slapped his thigh and said...

"Don't worry about me, boss. Actually, I could have joined the operation back in early April, but I took a little break and haven't participated in any fieldwork." "But this time, I definitely won't miss it. I can tell from your expression that we're going to do something big today!"

After saying that, Old Mike put his arm around Gavin's shoulder and pushed him onto his sofa.

After Gavin sat down, he patted Old Man Mack's wrist to signal him to let go, then glanced at the golden legendary plate armor standing to his right. After a brief moment of reminiscence, Gavin turned to face his men and nodded to them.

"To make a long story short, guys, we're about to embark on an expedition that will take us at least two thousand kilometers away."

"Therefore, this is destined to be a large-scale operation that will last far more than two days, and there is no time for us to make more preparations."

"Next, I'll announce the personnel. We're deploying three fully-equipped teams, ten people per team. I'll be the captain of one team, and as for the vice-captain..." Gavin looked at Madison, pondered for a moment, and then said.

"Old Mike, now that you've fully recovered and are ready to participate in the operation, let's work together one more time."

"First team vice-captain Madison, I will personally select the team members later."

"Next up is Team Two, Captain Edward and Vice-Captain Steve."

"Team Three: Captain Eugene, Vice-Captain Martin."

"The other team leaders and vice-leaders can leave now. You just need to continue your field missions."

"Our enemies won't be too numerous, and the journey is extremely long, so we need to travel as lightly as possible. A team of thirty people should be enough." "Alright, everyone else, disperse."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gavin clapped his hands lightly.

As he made that gesture, the men around him looked at each other, then silently left, leaving only the men whose names Gavin had called. After everyone else had left, Gavin raised his hand and laid out the maps of New Mexico and Texas on the tea.

Eugene, with a cigar in his mouth, leaned over and offered Gavin a cigarette, lighting it for him.

After exhaling a puff of smoke, Gavin, with a cigarette between his fingers, pointed at the map and said...

"Come closer and take a look, our target is here, Silver City, Hurley Town."

"Edward, Steve, you two can take the map and leave now. First, gather your team, then plan our route. Hurry up." With that, Gavin handed the map to Edward, and he and Steve immediately took it and left.

After the two left, Gavin crossed his legs and pointed towards the armory on the third floor to Eugene.

"Eugene, go with Martin to the armory and find some good stuff, the really rare stuff."

"Bring some, whether for offense or defense, more or less: C4, mines, RPGs. Take your team and get those things safely onto our vehicles." "Besides the armored vehicles, we also need at least two trucks, not too big. One will mainly transport equipment and ammunition, and the other will carry fuel and water." "Alright, that's your job. Send your team to carry it out."

"By the way, one team might not be enough to move things. Why don't you pick some members from my team and bring them along to help you move things?" After saying that, Gavin waved to Eugene, who nodded and turned to leave.

As he walked, he waved impatiently at Adriana, who was waiting in the second-floor corridor, and shouted.

"Ah, my dearest Adriana, you're finally free from that exhausting physical labor, and we can rekindle our romance!" "Mazefalc!"

Hearing Eugene's words, Adriana gave Eugene the middle finger from a distance, and then naturally walked towards the armory.

She had no intention of joining anyone else's team; after all, she had been with Eugene's group ever since she arrived at Gavin's camp, and they were old acquaintances. While Eugene was selecting team members, Gavin got up from the sofa and waved to Madison.

"Old Mike."

He spoke softly to Old Mai.

"It's been a while since you've had any activities, are you still rusty?"

"How could that be, boss? Not only have my skills improved, I've even honed my marksmanship over the past few months. If I were to shoot a frisbee now, my accuracy would be much higher than before." "And with Tara's help, my physical fitness hasn't suffered either, although my muscles..."

At this point, Old Mai couldn't help but shrug and give Gavin a helpless look.

Gavin, standing nearby, nodded with amusement in response.

"I know what you mean, buddy. After all, we don't have as many comprehensive supplements here as we used to."

"Without those supplements, it's not so easy to build muscle. Even if you and Tara try your best, you're still much thinner than before." "Haha, yeah, that's exactly what I mean. I've never loved those little darlings I used to drink as much as I do now."

Old Mike laughed and patted Gavin on the shoulder, then couldn't resist giving Gavin's muscles a squeeze.

After massaging his shoulders, he moved on to his arms, and finally couldn't resist pinching Gavin's outer thigh.

After feeling Gavin's muscle mass, Old Man Mike shrank his neck with a strange expression, then whispered to Gavin.

"Boss, are you really Odin incarnate? Why is your muscle mass not only not worse than before, but even better than when you played football?" "Tara and I lost a full forty pounds, countless amounts of fat, but you not only didn't lose weight, you actually gained weight. You... were you slacking off the whole time when you played football?" After saying that, Old Mike looked at Gavin with an incredulous expression.

Gavin couldn't help but purse his lips.

Old Mike was right; he really did slack off a bit when he played football.

After all, it was just for fun, and Gavin didn't consider football a career more important than his life, so his training was somewhat inconsistent. But now, he was truly training for his life, so his training volume was much greater than when he was playing football, and his muscle mass had increased rapidly. However… Gavin didn't want to hurt his football teammate, Mike.

So he shook his head and laughed, scolding:

"Alright, stop bragging about me and hurry up and go to the armory to pick out equipment with Eugene."

"How long has it been since you participated in field operations? Our operational standards have changed a lot, and we have much more equipment now."

"I'm going to the garage first to pick out a few suitable cars. You can find me in the garage after you're done."
