There's No Love In the Deathzone (BL) novel Chapter 582

Chapter 582: Chapter 576. Brainstorm

[The lake, huh?] Radia’s voice came with the sound of soft tapping before a burst of Han Joon’s low laughter came in the background.

After Jock told them what happened during the reconnaissance, they made a report to the Big Boss right away. The first thing that Radia mentioned as a response was also the thing that had been in the dungeon-hopping members’ thoughts the moment they heard the report.

The lake. The lake they had passed by while taking a leisurely walk around.

"I did have a strange feeling about it, but I never thought it would be where the Fallen Star is," Zein said after a brief silence in which everyone spent their time feeling foolish.

[Oh?]

"I mean...I thought it would be too obvious?" Zein shrugged, even though Radia couldn’t see him.

At that time, he had a fleeting suspicious thought, but he kept telling himself that it didn’t look like a good place to hide. Well, aside from the fact that there was no indication of any dungeon--although they knew the reason now. If anything, Zein thought the dungeon would be somewhere underground or in the mountain that Bassena had seen before.

Honestly, he thought the shards had better hiding places, but...

"Didn’t think we would get reverse psyched," Han Shin laughed, quickly making peace with their negligence.

"Well, it makes sense now," Bassena leaned back and crossed his arms as he looked up in reminiscence. "It is located between these dungeons that we have been eliminating."

[You’re right] they heard Han Joon’s voice then. [But we have a different problem now]

Right. The lake. The lake they had no idea how to cross--even back then with just a few of them. With the entire troops...that was even more headache-inducing.

"Phew..." Zein, Bassena, Han Shin, and Cohen who had seen the lake themselves exhaled heavily.

But Bassena quickly shook his head and made his report. "I sent a team to scout the lake from afar."

[Alright] Radia stopped his soft tapping. [I’m going to meet the Eastern Sun shortly, so we can devise an attack plan after you have enough information] he paused for a bit, before asking in a rather stern voice. [How’s Jock and Ella?]

"Better," Han Shin replied immediately. "Ella shouldn’t be using any magic for a week, but otherwise..."

[That’s fortunate]

"...should we send them back?" Bassena asked carefully, but Han Shin quickly made an X with his arms, shaking his head with a glare.

[No; the journey back would be more arduous. It’ll be better to let them convalesce there] _{ƒгeewebnovёl.com}

"Ah..." Bassena nodded, and Han Shin let out a relieved breath before raising his fist silently at the Saint class, making a menacing expression. Bassena pressed his lips and raised his hands to apologize for stepping out of the doctor’s line. "I’ll send them to the Sanctuary then."

[Yes] Radia agreed readily, and they could hear his voice became more relaxed then. [I’ll take him back when I go there later. For now, think about the best plan based on the information you have so far, and get back to me] the soft tapping sound could be heard again as Radia sounded his order. [Start moving the troops to the new camp. We’ll use the ruins and the forest as our main rally point from now on]

"Yes, Sir."

After the call ended, they gathered the executives in the new camp, including all of the people responsible for each base. Zhan, who came after picking up Ashur in the Castle, arrived first on his bike, laughing happily after a few days of action and a chance to ride across the desert.

Ashur did not share such enjoyment; he cursed and grumbled so much, swearing to never go on a ride with Zhan ever again.

"Seemed like we’re still in high spirits," Tian Yu nodded in satisfaction.

"The only thing that can break that guy’s spirit is being told to stay put," Bassena scoffed.

"Perfect for a battlefield, then!" the old man chuckled.

The other base supervisor came shortly after. The path had become much more convenient after the fifth lane cleared off the tar, so their vehicle could go all the way to the new camp. A big command tent--bigger than even the main base--had been erected in front of the ruin. As the executives entered the tent one by one, they instantly realized this place would be their new rallying point.

Without wasting more time, Bassena immediately gave them a brief about the situation and what they had discussed with the Guildmaster. A mix of tension and excitement filled the tent at the end of the brief, and the people who were still high in adrenaline from the dungeon clearance immediately discussed their next step.

Their first topic was making this place, which used to be the field of fog, to be their new operation base.
