Chapter 224 The Greatest Wish
His voice was a little strained. “Robin, I told you from the start-I wanted to follow you. Are you trying to push me away now?”
Robin shook her head. “Talented people deserve a chance to shine. Martin, from the very beginning, I planned to let you take charge of Redwood Military Base.
“In the past two days, I’ve been watching everything you’ve done. First, you’re a soldier. You’re the perfect person to manage a place like this.
“Second, you’re not happy with how people are living here. You want to change things.
“Someone like you is a born leader. You need a bigger stage. And Shangri-La is too far from here. I trust you can handle this place well. If I leave Redwood Military Base to one of my own people, I’ll feel at ease.”
Martin stared at her, stunned. For a long time, he couldn’t say a word.
He had never imagined that Robin had been thinking like this from the start.
He couldn’t understand why she trusted him so much.
“Robin…”
He wanted to say something, but she seemed to read his thoughts. She waved her hand. “Martin, letting you run Redwood Military Base is also good for me.
“I trust you. You won’t betray me. So in a way, this means I’ll control two bases. This is the apocalypse. What matters most is resources. Not just money or supplies-but people.
“And Redwood Military Base has exactly what we need. If we work together, we’ll be very strong.”
“Robin…” Martin said, his voice full of emotion. “You’re right. I will never betray you.”
“Then that settles it,” Robin said.
Listening to them talk about who would take over his base-right in front of him-Chad was furious. He slapped his thigh in rage. “Damn it! You’ve got some nerve! I’m not even dead yet, and you’re already talking about taking my base? That will never happen!
“Shoot! Kill them all!”
He roared at the guards.
The guards raised their guns-but hesitated.
Robin finally lowered her head and looked at him again.
She smiled brightly. “You’re right. You just reminded me I almost forgot about you.
