End Times, Surviving with My Beastly Army novel Chapter 358

Chapter 358 Wrong Thing to Say

Finished.

Donald’s voice trembled with anxiety. “Commander Bax, do you sense something’s… wrong?”

If Martin was willing to cooperate, they’d solve any problem that arose, no matter how difficult.

Martin suppressed his fury with considerable effort. His tone turned glacial. “No, of course not.

“But I’m curious about something. Your base doesn’t just fail to value talented people. You actually use such precious talent as bargaining chips for deals with other bases. Trade them away whenever convenient. Sell them out without hesitation?”

Donald caught the wrongness in his tone immediately.

His understanding couldn’t reach Martin’s emotional wavelength though. Their minds operated on completely different frequencies. He plastered on a nervous smile and spoke with extreme caution. “You think there’s something… improper about this?”

“Improper? Nothing improper at all.”

Martin’s laugh carried frost. “Since your base has shown your commitment, I can give you my answer right now. The cooperation starts immediately.”

Donald couldn’t suppress his elation. He’d made this attempt without much hope, yet somehow it actually succeeded.

Two forces attacking Robin simultaneously meant her strength wouldn’t matter.

She can’t stand against two powerful bases at once!

Donald congratulated himself on his own brilliance.

He returned to his quarters feeling thoroughly satisfied. At Redwood Military Base, Martin sat motionless before the fire, replaying Donald’s earlier words in his mind. A cruel smile curved his lips without permission.

Cooperation? Absolutely. Why wouldn’t I do it?

After all, Tyrant Base belonged to Robin too.

Donald reported his evening’s achievements to Rolf faithfully after returning.

He couldn’t keep the smugness from his voice when describing how he’d secured Redwood Military Base’s cooperation.

Rolf felt uneasy at first. Someone like Martin didn’t seem capable of this kind of arrangement.

Donald’s detailed explanation gradually dissolved his concerns though.

Apparently he’d overestimated Martin.

The next morning arrived swiftly.

Sunlight painted the horizon in brilliant hues. Members from various bases stirred from sleep.

Robin stretched languidly. Her gaze swept over Donald and Rolf, and amusement sparked in her eyes.

They thought I’d slept like there was no tomorrow?

Ten years of apocalypse survival in her previous life had trained Robin thoroughly. She could utilize rest periods for maximum mental restoration without entering deep sleep.

This unfamiliar environment contained too many strangers for her to lower her guard completely. Though her eyes had remained closed, every subtle movement outside had reached her ears.

Donald noticed her attention on him. Guilt over last night’s activities flooded through him instantly. He produced an enthusiastically warm smile. “Ms. Neel, did you sleep well?

“If you didn’t, please take more time! We’ll wait for you!”

He didn’t realize his excessive courtesy only emphasized his guilty conscience further.

This resembled unfaithful husbands returning home to their wives. They always attempted good deeds to

compensate.

Robin found it amusing. She studied him with meaningful intensity. “Donald, since when did you learn proper manners?”

Donald’s expression froze instantly. He scrambled to recover. “Ms. Neel, that hurts. This is basic courtesy! You saved our lives. I behaved poorly before, but I recognize my mistakes now. Can’t you forgive me?”

Robin’s smile held secrets. “Is tha

SOP

“Absolutely!”

“So you haven’t done anything to betray me?”

Donald’s heart lurched violently.

Has she discovered last night’s activities somehow?

He studied Robin’s expression with mounting terror. That enigmatic half–smile revealed nothing beyond

its surface.
