"Everyone, as the vanguard, we accept the risk of death. But this Captain Lawson… his sniper is a complete amateur! At a critical moment, he actually held us back by opening fire on one of our own. I was nearly killed by a bullet from one of your team members, Captain Lawson!"
Herbert was one of Zane Locke's men. The original Middle-Level plant-type superpower user on Zane Locke's team had died on their first day at the base. Therefore, as the person with the highest plant-type Superpower Level on Zane Locke's team now, Herbert's standing was incomparable to what it once was.
Zane Locke frowned and stepped forward. "I believe Captain Lawson owes us an explanation, don't you?"
"Exactly! The monster is right inside. If we can't confirm its location, how are we supposed to deploy our people to hunt it down?"
"That's right, Captain Lawson, your man needs to apologize! It's a good thing he missed Herbert. If that bullet had hit, a life would have been lost!"
