The first squad moved through the damaged loading dock, followed by the second from the northern warehouse, while the third entered through the eastern section where the outer wall had been destroyed by artillery earlier.
Around them, the armored vehicles maintained their positions, with several Vanguards now covering the central building while the Guardians and infantry handled the remaining infected along the surrounding roads.
"Central target is rising," one of the DASF operators reported.
