The End Of Life Chapter 141

"That's good for you." Mark simply nodded and stood up to leave, "Alright then, I'm wasting too much time here. I'll be leaving then. Remember General, only two days. I want to get this done quick and easy."
"Sure, you don't need to worry too much about it. I'll get the team ready in two days for you." nodding.
Mark exited the room and noticed no one was there waiting for him. He looked around but didn't find them. He then heard Steve from behind, "They aren't here. Two of your members asked about their family and wanted to meet them. So I asked a person to send them there. I saw them leaving in your jeep."
Mark nodded and asked, "So, who's going to take me?" Steve laughed hearing the man and said pointing at himself, "I will if you got no problem with that. I have some work that way, anyway."
Mark nodded and stretched his hand down the hallway, asking him to lead the way. Steve nodded and walked in front of him, but as they got down the stairs, Mark asked, "Can I get a map. The country map." He wanted to note down all the places on the map he saw inside Donald's room before he forgets.
Steve paused and nodded before he asked him to wait and went into a room. He came back within a few seconds with a rectangular folded paper and handed it to him before continuing down the stairs. Mark took a peek into the map and simply kept it back when it was within his expectations.
After reaching the ground floor, they exited the building and Mark said, "Your father said he would provide some ammo for the job." He remembered Donald's small promise.

"Yes, come this way." And led him to a similar tent. It was the same one as the last time. But as they entered, Mark noticed the decrease in the number of boxes of bullets in the tent.
'Seems like the camp is really low.' he thought. Steve was already having a chat with the officer behind the desk and then waved him over. Mark walked up to the desk, and the man asked, "So what kind?"
"If possible, I need 357 Magnum and 7.62MM bullets." He quickly said his requirement. He wanted the Magnum for the Desert eagle guns he found back in the villa. He didn't use those guns and kept using the Beretta because of low ammo. Now he could stock some ammo and use the better gun.
The man nodded and told the soldier behind him to bring a few magazines worth of each. It didn't take long for the soldier to come back with a small bag in his hand full of clips and gave them to the man.
The man pushed the bag towards Mark and said, "Here you go. We can only give you 10 magazines of Magnum and 25 of 7.62. We are already on a shortage of bullets."
Mark nodded and took the bag before checking the contents and nodded again. Steve led him out once again and stopped before turning around and saying, "Alright, just wait here. I'll go get a car for us to use." And went away.
Mark waited for a few minutes until he saw a normal SUV car stop in front of him. Steve rolled down the windows and asked him to hop inside. He slowly drove the vehicle out of the main camp area, while sometimes stopping the car to talk to some soldiers on duty and get updates.

"I need to constantly check on these idiots or else, they won't properly do their job." He sighed while driving. Mark hummed while nodding. He also noticed a few of the soldier's slacking off and couldn't help but shake his head.
The car eventually came to a stop in front of a small two-floor apartment. Steve got down and waved his hand telling him to get down as well. He walked towards Mark and said, "Your people should be in this apartment." And went inside the corridor.
Mark already noticed the people inside various flats in the building in front of him. The small building only had two flats on each floor so 6 flats in the entire building. They walked up to the first floor and Steve turned to the right.
He stopped in front of the flat and knocked on the door. After a few seconds, the door opened and Suzie looked at both of them and said, "Ah! You are finally here. The Colonel sent a soldier with us to the apartment after we asked. Come on in." She stepped aside.
Steve didn't move but turned towards Mark and said, "Well I can't stay any longer actually. I still have some work to do. I'll leave you guys to it." And walked away.
Mark shrugged and went inside while Suzie closed the door. Mark scanned the living room he just entered and noticed the people seated, looking at him. He also noticed Suzie's dad, Ray, and David's daughter, Daisy.
"Ah! Mark. You are finally here. How are you?" Ray stood up and gave him a light hug while patting his back.
"I just had some stuff to talk with the General, so it took me some time. It's good to see you again as well. I hope you and the guys with you are well here." Separating from the hug.
"It's all good. At Least we don't need to constantly look out for zombies within the camp and are relatively safe. Come have a seat." He pointed at a seat on the couch.
"Good to hear man." He sat while turning towards Daisy and asked her the same question.
"I'm fine. I live in a girls-only place just like this. By the way, thank you for looking after my Dad." She thanked him and Ray said the same.
"It's ok. They look after themselves pretty well too. You guys don't need to worry too much about it."
