Chapter 442. At The Edge of Darkness

For the past few months, something happened in the Borderland Unit 04-2. 

Trucks upon trucks came; not to the Unit itself, but to the empty field next to the Unit's headquarters. Some did find their way to the headquarters, however. There was a truckload of new equipment, and a truckload of food from the green-zone--not the usual thing they got during the monthly logistic drop, but higher quality canned food and some fresh ingredients they didn't even get during the New Year.

Naturally, they knew it was a bribe. 

Or rather, an incentive from the lovely rich people who came to conquer the Deathzone. Do not hinder us; do not sabotage us; be cooperative.

Of course, it was weird to think that anyone would want to prevent people from clearing the Deathzone. If the Deahzone was claimed, the Unit's staff would get freed from this dreary job of guarding the border. Ideally, that should be the case.
