Chapter 368 - 353: You Are Responsible for the Mistakes, I Am Responsible for Holding the Fort
Mountain Eagle, in anticipation of the dangers that could arise at any moment, discarded his crutch, donned the exoskeleton and flexible armor to help Butcher and Pigeon establish a defensive position and set up ammunition in the designated places.
Butcher and Pigeon were worried about their boss’s health, but they wouldn’t express it, only working even harder so that the boss would do less.
Actually, from the moment he put on the exoskeleton, the pressure on Mountain Eagle’s right leg vanished.
But the thing can’t be worn 24 hours a day; once it’s taken off, the relaxed leg muscles will feel an increased pressure.
Mountain Eagle’s leg injury hadn’t worsened; it was just that in this slow delay, recovery time was being prolonged.
Setting up a defensive position on crucial points was not complex – nail a few boxes together with discarded planks, position them on the site, then fill them with rocks and sand. When unused, they could even be planted with flowers and such.
At Sunset Mountain, with just one winding road, by arranging three to five such wooden boxes on the mountaintop and on the West Side garden of the café, one could command a view downwards to suppress the enemy coming up the road.
If there were enough wooden box positions around the mountaintop, they could potentially cover the surrounding jungle as well.
However, this wasn’t something that could be done in a short time, and Mountain Eagle wasn’t in a rush. He focused first on the roadside, leaving the rest to be done gradually later.
Busy until around one in the morning, just when Mountain Eagle thought about going back to take a shower and sleep, an excited cry from Zorn came over the radio...
"They’re here, two vehicles..."
Upon hearing this, Mountain Eagle patted Butcher on his back and said, "You take Daria and her sisters to the West Side garden of the café, while Pigeon heads to the mountaintop."
