Chapter 34
“Hey, Ezra... ... This won’t work. Dian... ... Is she already in? Then... ... .”
Wilkins, who had been calling out several names in a row, grabbed his head. Oh no, there’s no one!
“If there’s no one to go in with me, I’ll go.”
Just as he was about to give up, a voice of salvation was heard from behind him. Wilkins, who had turned around with a smile, was startled and froze. Grayson was looking at him with the same smiling face as before.
“Oh, no, it’s okay. You have no experience... ... .”
Wilkins had been trying to ignore Grayson’s suspicions since earlier. Naturally, he turned his head away in a hurry this time too. However, Grayson answered naturally.
“I’ve trained enough over the past month, so I can do it. And isn’t this something that needs to be done someday? You always say that there aren’t enough people to deploy to the field. That’s what everyone says.”
He wasn’t wrong. But sending Ace and a rookie alone? The fire had spread a lot, and since they had to go inside directly, the risk was high. I don’t want to imagine it, but a rookie is no help in an emergency. When faced with a situation they’ve never seen before, their bodies just freeze. Then Dane... ... .
Wilkins, who had been imagining things for a long time, thought to himself, “As expected.” He couldn’t lose Ace like that.
“No, it’s really okay. There was no need to... ... .”
He kept refusing, but he couldn’t drag it out for too long. In the end, Dane, who had been watching him as he couldn’t come to a conclusion, adjusted his mask as if he didn’t care, and moved first behind Wilkins, who was embarrassed.
“I’ll go in.”
