Chapter 807: Washington D.C (23)
"Is it 30 hours until the retreat? If we can finish handling the Eclipse gas smoothly, it seems we should be able to get out of the base without major issues."
"Don't worry about that. While you're away from the base, HQ has sent out several instructions. You just need to check everything and figure out what to do next."
"...Is there anything important?"
"It’s probably better to check it for yourself rather than having me explain."
The sky had darkened, and the persistent, roasting-like noise was still audible.
To the northeast of Washington D.C., where it had been an area once occupied by the military faction "Son of Eagle" and thousands of soldiers, but now, the Black Eagle Kestrel was stationed at Gallowdette University.
Inside the base's operations command room, which had been subject to a strict blackout, there were only a few individuals, and Race and Crow continued their conversation.
"As you said last time, the moment the Eclipse gas is dispersed over the capital, there will be many people trying to hold you accountable. While we can't say if it was intentional, the higher-ups seem to have taken care of that concern."
"...Yeah, it seems so."
Race's gaze was fixed on the screen.
On the screen, numerous English sentences were written. The content was simple. It was an order: "Dispose of some of the Eclipse gas." She let out a laugh, her expression one of disbelief.
She still remembered the recent order from the higher-ups: "Drop the Eclipse gas and cruise missiles all over the U.S. military." However, unfortunately, that was never carried out.
