Doomsday America.

That night, around 7:20 pm.

Gavin stood at his post in the center of the second-floor corridor, a bottle of beer in his left hand, silently gazing at the floor-to-ceiling window, and then at the field crew members training outside. Led by Edward and a series of company commanders, the field crew members chanted slogans and common American military chants. As he watched, Gavin sensed someone approaching from behind, so he turned and nodded to Eugene, who was standing beside him. "So, Eugene, got the energy to come out for a stroll, or do you think you're ready for rehabilitation training?"

While teasing him, Gavin patted Eugene on the shoulder and pulled Eugene close to his side.

Eugene grinned and stood next to Gavin, speaking boastfully.

"Resume training? Huh? Who do you think you are, boss!"

"I've already started my recovery training. Every time you guys are asleep, I go to the gym and do fucking squats by myself!"

"I only injured my arm, not my leg. Even now, I can guarantee that at least nine-tenths of those soldiers below can't outrun me!" With that, Eugene picked up his drink and clinked glasses with Gavin.

After they finished their drinks, Gavin looked at Eugene's arm and finally couldn't help but ask softly.

"So, buddy, how's your hand?"

"What did Old Bert say? Do you think training can resume?"

"If you can, then get moving. You know the league can't do without you, and I've always kept the platoon leader position for you." "Give me an answer, buddy, but don't let me hear anything discouraging!"

"DK?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gavin released Eugene's shoulder and patted the injured spot on Eugene's arm.

When Gavin patted him like that, Eugene instinctively shrank his shoulders, but then gritted his teeth and sneered.

"Hehehehe, I'm perfectly fine. And the reason I'm here is to ask to reclaim my position as the second company commander, haha!" "I admit, my arm isn't fully recovered yet, but believe me, boss, this hand won't hinder my operations in any way!"

"Aside from my current maximum sniping range being slightly shorter than before, a mere arm injury isn't going to break a true Texas tough guy!" "You know what kind of person I am, don't you?"

"Of course!"

Upon hearing this, Gavin nodded in satisfaction.

Because of him, he was really getting a little anxious.

The field operations unit has been reorganized for some time now, with a total of six company commanders, but the position of second company commander has remained vacant.

Although everyone in the alliance knew that position was reserved for Eugene, the alliance wasn't a bunch of groundhogs huddling together for warmth! While not everyone here was a complete bastard, the vast majority of those who chose to become field agents possessed the ferocity of hungry wolves! And right now, in the Second Company, while Eugene was recovering from his injuries, the four squad leaders had already challenged for the company commander's position countless times!

They were all using their own unique skills; some were trying to win people's hearts, some were trying to establish their authority, and in short, everyone was putting on a show!

And now, because all four squad leaders are so enthusiastic about competing, the training effect of the Second Company is much better than that of the First Company, which Edward personally led! As for Eugene's current request for a promotion, Gavin has been looking forward to it for a long time.

It might be a good thing that the second company has become better because of the competition.

However, excessive competition may also turn the Second Company into a hidden danger in field operations, with the possibility of reckless actions or malicious attempts to claim credit.

Therefore, Gavin preferred stability to letting the four platoons of the Second Company continue fighting.

As for Eugene's eagerness to return to the field team, was he also intimidated by the menacing looks from the squad leaders?

Gavin didn't know.

In short, after receiving a definite answer, Gavin patted Eugene on the shoulder and nodded firmly to him.

"How could I not know what kind of person you are, buddy? We're both real tough guys, I knew you'd always get back to where you belong." "Let's skip tonight, how about tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow morning, Eugene, dress smartly, and then officially take over your second company in front of all the field agents!" "Don't let those brats and newbies look down on you, you jerk, so don't drink too much tonight, okay?"

"Haha, no problem!"

Upon hearing Gavin's reminder, Eugene immediately raised his beer bottle with a radiant smile and responded with a hearty laugh.

"Don't worry, boss, this is my last bottle for tonight!"

"As for my Second Company, haha, I know how to deal with a bunch of rookies and greenhorns!"

"When I wasn't around, that jerk Jonathan kept trying to take my place, but I told him he was dreaming!"

"A dog owner wants to compete with me? He should wait until the next expansion of the field service, or until our alliance establishes a damn professional police dog brigade, before he jumps out and takes charge on his own, hahahaha!" With a hearty laugh, Eugene raised the bottle with satisfaction and took another swig with Gavin.

As Eugene laughed, a figure was already walking towards them in the distance.

As the two put down the bottles, they noticed a figure approaching and looked at it simultaneously.

After a moment, Gavin chuckled and asked the newcomer.

"Liana, good evening. What's wrong? Are you not satisfied with the moonlight tonight, or is there something else you want to talk to me about?" Just as Gavin was speaking, Eugene had already left Lu with an awkward smile, leaving Gavin and Liana alone.

Seeing Eugene walk away, Leona pursed her lips in satisfaction, then leaned closer to Gavin and asked in a low voice.

"Boss Gavin, all I want to know is, what news has been released regarding my husband and son?"

"this……

When Leona asked him, Gavin remained silent for a moment, then shook his head.

"Excuse me, Leona, I've made contact with seventeen medium and large survival camps across Los Angeles to New York via radio. But... at least so far, I haven't received the answer you're looking for!"

Upon hearing Gavin's words, Leona's expression tightened.

Seeing this, Gavin immediately changed his tone and continued to persuade him with a light laugh.

"However, Leona, I believe the wait is worthwhile."

"Today's American radio network is certainly not as convenient as the pre-apocalyptic internet."

"We need to let our message spread for a while longer!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gavin patted Leona on the shoulder.

Leona took a deep breath and silently accepted Gavin's explanation.

In the past two or three days, four members of the family-finding group have chosen to stay at Camp Gavin, a truly alarming number. Leona, however, wasn't particularly worried, as her purpose in forming the group wasn't to conquer the Americas.

She simply wanted to offer a new possibility to every member of the family-finding group who was unhappy in their previous camps. If her men felt that living in the Alliance would allow them to forget their past loved ones.

Leona could naturally accept that outcome.

However, she has now truly rekindled her longing for her family.

Over the past month, after embarking on a solitary journey and enduring countless painful experiences, Leona had largely given up hope of finding her family. But then Gavin unexpectedly met with Johnny and Angle, and they turned out to be friends. Furthermore, Gavin used the League's influence to place a bounty on Johnny and Angle's information. Leona's seemingly dead heart was essentially revived.

Well, now the leader of the family-finding group, who was once weathered and heartbroken, has suddenly reverted to the housewife who longed for her family... For two whole nights, Leanna couldn't sleep; she just wanted to hear the news she wanted.

But what he thinks doesn't matter; the news will spread eventually.

Leona understood this herself, so after receiving comfort from Gavin, she nodded and prepared to say goodbye. But just as she was about to leave...

A sudden flash of light in the distance made her widen her eyes in alarm!

Since Gavin's back was facing that direction, Leanna hesitated for a moment to confirm, then quickly reached out and pointed behind Gavin, saying, "Boss Gavin, look! Is something... wrong?"

"What?"

Gavin frowned and turned around. He saw a sense of unease in Leona's eyes that made him uneasy.

As soon as he turned around, his eyes widened immediately. It looked like... there was a fire over there?

That's... the direction of the chicken farm!

"Fuck!"

Seeing thick smoke billowing from the chicken farm's gate, Gavin immediately picked up his walkie-talkie.

Before he could even ask a question, the sentry's voice came through the walkie-talkie!

"Boss, something's happened! The chicken farm is on fire!"

"Fuck!"

"Bullshit!"

"Damn it, put out the fire!"

"Drive the fire truck to the riverbank!"

"Go get the fire truck!!!"

In an instant, several anxious voices came through the walkie-talkie!

After all, the chicken farm still has over 30,000 chickens left, which almost entirely supply the camp with eggs!

Gavin is waiting for the hens and roosters to slowly reproduce and rebuild the camp's poultry industry.

And then a fire broke out there?

Upon hearing this, Gavin quickly put the walkie-talkie to his mouth and shouted loudly.

"Shut the fuck up! This is Gavin. Send one person from the outpost near the airport to the chicken farm to assess the fire and try to open the gate!" "Sixth Company, everyone go get the fire trucks! First Company, go to the old manor's basement to retrieve liquid nitrogen! Hurry, but be careful!"

"Other field personnel should quickly establish a firebreak to prevent the fire from spreading further!"

"Feng, William, take all the office staff and thoroughly investigate the cause of the chicken farm fire, and thoroughly investigate the current number of people in the camp, down to every single person. We must find a clear answer to the cause of this fire! Clearly!" With that, Gavin put away his walkie-talkie and rushed towards the dew, leaping from the dew to the ground.

Meanwhile, the field crew members who were running laps around the manor rushed towards the garage under the leadership of their respective company commanders!

Honestly, the field operations were a bit chaotic at this moment. Because of the recent expansion, most of them were still greenhorns. Moreover, the field operations themselves hadn't been established for very long, and the training of field operations personnel by Edward and other instructors hadn't yet extended to fire department duties! However, Gavin chose Sixth Company to drive the fire truck for a reason: after the field operations expanded, Gavin and Thomas had already considered fire prevention. Edward's First Company had more experience handling relatively dangerous items like liquid nitrogen.

In the Sixth Company, Alto serves as a squad leader. Alto himself is a former firefighter, so Gavin's role for the Sixth Company is to combine the roles of firefighter, field medic, mechanic, and demolition specialist, with a focus on support.

In the current Sixth Company, at least the squad with the Alto can operate the fire truck.

Therefore, under Gavin's arrangement, although the field team was in complete chaos, the other four companies at least knew to make way for the first and sixth companies! And so, as Gavin rode his horse and began galloping towards the chicken farm.

Alto had already climbed onto the fire truck, leading his team to pull two fire trucks towards the chicken farm.

But Gavin hadn't even gotten close to the chicken farm; to be precise, he had only ridden his horse two steps away.

A new message then came through the walkie-talkie.

"Boss! Boss! This is the airport sentry! We just spotted a car speeding off from the chicken farm and heading towards the composting plant!" "We've sent men in pursuit. We suspect the car is related to the chicken farm fire!"

As he finished speaking, the roar of a motorcycle came through the walkie-talkie!

Clearly, the sentry members had already mounted their motorcycles and begun the pursuit!

Upon hearing this, Gavin's brows furrowed in alarm.

Many of the league's management members who were sitting at the conference table discussing the league's future with Gavin were swallowing hard! Thomas, who was rushing out of the hall, couldn't help but wear a sour face!

If people really started fleeing at this time, then the fire at the chicken farm was probably caused by someone!

In that case, the boss will be very angry, and the consequences will be very serious.

I just don't know which department this oversight and problem occurred in!

But whose face will the boss's anger ultimately fall on?

Just as Thomas was thinking this, Gavin's voice came through the walkie-talkie on his waist again.

This time, Gavin's voice was unusually low, accompanied by the impatient sound of horses' hooves. Gavin growled through gritted teeth as he spoke.

"The sentry's clerk should pursue cautiously, avoiding gunfights as much as possible. Preserve yourselves, confirm the location, and headquarters will send reinforcements immediately!" "Martin, take your men, drive the fastest car imaginable, follow the sentry's calls, and bring that car and everyone inside back to me, without exception!" "Life or death!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gavin slapped Octavian hard in the stomach.

Octavian immediately accelerated, maximizing the speed attribute of the Jade Lion.

The fire truck was slower than a horse on its way to the chicken farm. Gavin arrived at the chicken farm in less than a minute!

After a quick observation, Gavin's face darkened even more!

The fire at the chicken farm was quite large!

Flames shot out from both the front and back doors!

This is clearly a man-made fire. Without properly prepared fuel, the chicken farm could never have burned this badly.

The Alliance's chicken farm is not the old-fashioned chicken farm full of straw. There are not many flammable materials in the chicken farm. The flames now can only be caused by fuel! While thinking this, Gavin forced Octavian to rush to the front door of the chicken farm.

After Octavian approached reluctantly, Gavin quickly dismounted and grabbed the chicken farm gate, pulling it open.

A wave of intense heat suddenly hit us!
