Chapter 233: Surrounded By Children
"Both," replied Réne, his face a blank mask. "I agree with both your points, so Eve and her team will go after the food, and you and your men will go after the weapons."
There was a chorus of grunts around the room as everyone agreed to the plan. Eve looked concerned for a moment before a wall came over her emotions, leaving her face blank. "Do we pick our own teams?" she asked, turning her attention to Réne.
"I don’t care what you do," shrugged the leader of the Naval base. "But whatever your plan is, you need to be prepared to leave the moment the sun rises. We can’t take the chance of meeting with a zombie, no matter what kind. The moment the sun comes, they go hide again."
Once again, there was a chorus of grunts as chairs scrapped against the floor. "Then I guess the only thing to do now is get a couple hours of shut eye," nodded Adam as he looked at his wife. "We’ll see you at 0500."

"Still blaming me for that?" sighed Eve. Tears started to fill her eyes as she looked at the man who was literally her other half.
"Yes, well, we all know forgiveness is bullshit. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be in this fucking place without hot water or electricity," replied Adam as his face twisted with rage for a moment. "But I am sorry for bringing it up. This whole apocalypse is messing with my head."
