"Commander! Our Northern flank ran out of zombies!"
As the door barged open, two of the officers inside were relieved by the young soldier's news. But the oldest officer didn't seem relieved.
He maintained a frown as he signaled the officer on the right to check. After walking over to the window and checking it, the officer returned with a nod.
"Thank gods. Finally, some good news... Quick, Pinli, can you go tell the northern flank to head to the south?"
"Yes, sir!"
As Pinli ran out of the room, the senior officer noticed something was a little off about the young soldier who had reported the news.
"You there. What's your name and rank?" The senior officer questioned.
"My name is Chen Bo, and I am a private under Sergeant Lin."
The young soldier replied, his face full of excitement, not noticing the senior officer's weird look.
"How old are you?"
This time, the young soldier fell into silence, almost as if it was something that he couldn't answer.
"I'm eighteen, sir."
