The End Of Life Chapter 40

Mark continued to wait outside, looking out of the window in the hallway as the father and son were having a discussion on him. As Mark made his way outside, Steve looked at his father who was donning a smile on his face and asked, "Why?"
"Why, what?"
"You do not have to give him so many favors just because he saved civilians. I am sure even without him, we could have saved the people." Steve knew it was an impressive feat from Mark, but it was not worth giving so much weaponry and favors because of that.
The military was already at a low place at the moment, and giving off so much ammunition could only decrease it further. Hearing his son's confused question, Donald smiled and answered, "You do not get it yet, Steve. Once you have as much experience I gained over my 40 years in the military, you will understand what I did would be a plus point for us in the future."
Hearing him, Steve still grasped nothing and Donald simply said, "Just believe me on this one and try to be calm about this with him. Give this sheet to the people near the armory and you can give him some weapons." Steve nodded, took the paper from him and made his way out of the office.
"Come with me Mark, I need you to follow me and we can get you your weapons," said Steve as he noticed Mark looking out the window Mark turned back and nodded. Following him out of the building, they made their way to the end of the camp where there were enormous tents and vehicles lined up, with soldiers going in and out.
Mark followed Steve inside one of the biggest tents and made their way towards the person at the front drinking some coffee. Mark noticed the number of emblems the person had, and his rank was higher than Steve's. Steve slowly talked with the guy meanwhile, Mark looked around.

There were enormous crates having guns, and ammunition loaded in them. As Mark looked around the person Steve was having a conversation, saw the slip, and was shocked. He looked up at Steve and Steve said, "I know, but dad says it is his gut feeling and this would do us a lot better in the future."
He just nodded and handed the paper to the person beside him and asked for him to bring the contents. They continued talking with each other on other matters as all the guns asked for were collected.
After a while, 2 soldiers came with two boxes and several guns in their hands. Steve turned back and tapped on Mark, who was still looking around. Mark turned towards Steve and noticed the boxes in the soldier's hands.
"Mark, here are the things my father promised you. Have a look at them." motioning them to open both of them.
Mark slowly went toward the boxes and peeked inside. He saw 2 Beretta 92 guns and an Ak47 with their respective ammunition. He also noticed 5 grenades by the side and a smile formed on his face. He slowly stretched out his hand and took the Beretta into his hands.
Getting a good hold of it, Mark checked it out before placing it in. He turned towards Steve and nodded, Steve, gestured to the soldiers to close them and said, "Come, Mark, I will show you the vehicle too." and walked out of the tent followed by Mark and the two soldiers.
They walked across various military vehicles and it amazed Mark at the size of the tanks lined up. This showed that the Military near Stargaze city wasn't a small one, it had its fair amount of suitable vehicles at disposal.
They continued on till the end of the vehicle till they reached a small reinforced jeep. It had all sides of it covered in metal which looked very resistant and the wheels were almost double the regular size. It had an open-top to look out for any directions.

"This is the new Titanium reinforced jeep out engineers made. It is made of an alloy and hence bulletproofed to a degree and tightly closed so zombies can make their way inside," explained Steve.
Mark was surprised at the description, Titanium was the 2nd strongest metal after tungsten. Except for tungsten, which had very weak impact strength, titanium was the best choice to reinforce the vehicle with. The open roof can enable them to shoot from the top.
He wondered how they got enough Titanium to completely reinforce this thing and remembered there was a Titanium factory nearby which made the alloy used. Mark nodded with satisfaction and Steve told the soldiers to keep the boxes inside.
"So when will you leave?" turning towards Mark after the soldiers left.
"I was thinking now."
