Richard finally got the confirmation that he sought, killing the Hydra and effectively ending this wave. Though not technically over there are still non-mutated zombies approaching the Blackwatch Oriental Military Camp, and there are still Flyers flying above.
Still, it is effectively over as Richard\'s Blackwatch forces are dealing with them with conventional weapons. The Flyers are countered by the anti-air defense systems, and the infantry could pretty much hold on their own by firing a hail of incessant bullets at the waves of the zombies.
He checked the time, it was almost one o\'clock in the morning. He also checked his shield integrity and it was at 80 percent. He activated the nanobots, repairing his suit\'s armor. The process was quick, the shield integrity was soon restored to 100 percent.
The night was dark, but the flashes of gunfire and explosions lit up the sky intermittently, casting an eerie glow over the scene. Despite the chaos, Richard felt a sense of control, he had dealt with the second wave…that is what he wanted to assure himself.
He had met new variants of mutated zombies, especially on the animal side. Is it possible that there are other mutated zombies derived from the animals? Well, since he saw one, it is possible.
"Blackwatch Actual…this is Eagle. Hydra has been taken care of, I\'m returning to base, over."
Richard\'s voice was calm and steady as he communicated with his team. The response from the base was swift, "Copy that, Eagle. Great work on the Hydra. Prepare for debriefing upon arrival, over."
"Copy that, Eagle out," Richard ended the transmission and made his way back to the command center in Ayala North Exchange Tower 1.
Upon arrival at the base, Richard was greeted by his team, who looked visibly relieved to see him safe. He deactivated his suit, allowing him to step out from it, and suddenly—two women rushed over to him and hugged him.
"I\'m glad you are safe," intoned the two, which are Sara and Lisa.
And also suddenly, they released him from their embrace and glanced at one another. Lisa\'s eyes narrowed as she looked at Sara.
"What\'s the meaning of this? Why are you hugging my brother?"
Richard clicked his tongue softly, he hadn\'t told his little sister about Sara and how they developed their relationship with one another, and made it official.
"Lisa…Sara here is my girlfriend…" Richard revealed.
Lisa\'s expression shifted from suspicion to outright confusion. Her eyes flicked between Richard and Sara, trying to piece together the situation. "Your girlfriend? Since when?" she asked
Sara, standing beside Richard, blushed deeply, her gaze dropping to the floor. She fidgeted with her hands, clearly embarrassed by the sudden spotlight. "Well, it\'s a recent development," she murmured, her voice barely above a whisper.
Richard, sensing the tension, placed a reassuring hand on Sara\'s shoulder. "It happened after we did the thing."
"The thing?" Lisa gasped.
"Yeah…" Richard confirmed, rubbing the back of his head sheepishly. He glanced at Sara and there was still a deep shade of red on her cheeks. He found it cute when Sara blushed like that, but he quickly refocused on the matter at hand. "So the fight is not yet over, but I\'m thankful to have been hugged by two beautiful ladies."
Lisa rolled her eyes playfully at Richard\'s comment but smiled, showing that she was easing into the new dynamics. "Okay, brother. I told you have a chance on her."
Richard nodded in agreement and he made his way to the main table where he debriefed everything about this wave. He detailed his fight against all mutated zombies and how effective the suit is in combating them. He also highlighted that the air force proved to be crucial in their operations as most of them had depleted the health bars of the monsters to the point Richard only had to deal a final blow.
Reports are coming in from the outside, informing the command center about how the Blackwatch forces are neutralizing every zombie that mindlessly charged on all fronts of the camp. They were taken down accordingly to the point they were never seen as a threat.
Four hours later, the number of the zombies decreased to that of a manageable level. The Blackwatch forces had effectively contained the situation, and the remaining zombies posed little threat to the well-fortified camp. Richard, overseeing the operations, felt a sense of accomplishment as the reports confirmed the success of their defensive strategies.
Another hour later, the sun rose from the horizon, casting a warm glow over the camp, signaling the end of a long night of battle. The Blackwatch forces, now able to take a moment to breathe, began the process of cleaning up and assessing the damage.
"There are over 80 casualties on our side, one Abram tank, one Apache…and…" Mark continued detailing the losses of the Blackwatch.
Richard listened attentively, nodding along the way as he already considered replacing them with new ones. After all, from this wave alone, his eight-digit gold balance turned into nine digits.
Looking at his new stats, he can\'t help but be surprised.

He has over half a billion gold coins in his account. There are a lot of things that can be bought from that alone. Heck, he might be able to build an army big enough to be in the top ten military in the world. Though of course, he can\'t be complacent because they were neutralized in this apocalypse, especially where magic users exist in this new world.
Richard rose to his feet and walked over to the floor-to-ceiling windows. He peered down below and whispered. "I\'m tired…I\'m going to need some rest."
And then, there was a notification alert in his system.
