Chapter 14: CH 014: The blue skinned man
After uttering those words to Tasha, Anthony commenced the meeting, standing confidently in front of everyone in the room. "So, guys, our next expedition is scheduled to take place tomorrow morning," he announced, his voice clear and authoritative. "Unfortunately, most of our supplies have depleted, and we need to head to the supermarkets on Willow's Street to replenish them."
He paused, surveying the room before continuing. "From our previous experiences, we know that survivors often tend to congregate in places like supermarkets. Therefore, gaining entry might be challenging. However, I have every confidence that you'll figure out a way to overcome any obstacles."
Anthony emphasized, "Your primary objectives are to gather as many essential supplies as possible and ensure your safety above all else."
"If you encounter any unusual situations or come across a hostile creature that you're unable to handle, don't hesitate to call for backup," Anthony instructed, his tone serious. "Your safety is our utmost priority, and we must look out for each other." With that, Anthony concluded his speech.
Just then, Gunther spoke up from his seated position, adding a crucial reminder. "Additionally, it's essential that we avoid areas where the meteor fragments have fallen, as they may pose significant risks to our safety."
Everyone nodded in acknowledgement, their expressions somber and reflective, as the gravity of Gunther's words sank in. With the importance of caution duly noted, the meeting came to a close, and the attendees began to file out of the room.
However, before Simbi could make her exit, Anthony called out to her, his voice firm but polite. "Could you please stay behind for a moment?" he requested, his eyes also locking onto Gunther and several other senior executive members, including Tasha. The group lingered, their curiosity piqued, as they wondered what additional discussions or decisions required their attention.
Meanwhile, Dave had wasted no time slipping out of the meeting room, intent on retreating to the solitude of his quarters as he was quite weary. However, his attempt at a discreet exit was thwarted as he navigated the bustling corridors of the Casino base.
It became increasingly apparent that his fight with Ajax had sparked a flurry of interest within the casino, as numerous individuals couldn't help but steal glances at him. Their hushed whispers and furtive murmurs trailing in his wake.
