"Commander Yiming, are we really just halting the operation completely?"
As Zhen Ren questioned the decision in front of everyone, Yiming didn't seem to take offense to it as he signaled him to take a seat.
"What other choices do we have?"
"I... I don't know. But there has to be something that we can do other than sit here. We can't just turtle ourselves against this threat."
Yiming didn't answer back right away as he looked over to the Colonel on his right, who seemed to be a little zoned out.
"Li Qing, what has the scientist said back so far?"
"Nothing. We already got the samples for them... They said they will report back by the start of next week."
"There's your answer, Zhen Ren. We are going to wait until the scientists find a way to counteract it."
Yiming paused for a second, then continued.
"Yan Lin, you'll be tasked with maintaining the gains we had made in the city. Zhen Ren, you'll be going to Dongguan to swap with Li Miao."
"Yes, sir."
