I Became A Mech Soldier After Waking Up in The Future. - Chapter 95

“Pardon my late arrival. Have I missed something yet?”

“Escarte and I are talking about the disposal of the Zerg corpses piled up inside and outside the city,” Frode explained on the side.

Judas on the opposite side nodded and said:

“That’s right, now that the purge is coming to an end, this large-scale invasion of Zerg and predators will cause more serious problems later on. It’s very likely to cause epidemics, and the rate of infection might be increasing. So, I think that cleaning the zergs’ corpses all around the city, especially outside the city, should be taken as a priority before it attracts new waves of zerg swarms. ”

Jeanne nodded and said, “Well, that’s the obvious thing. So, what’s the problem here?”

Frode grumbled displeasedly, “I’ve planned to allocate some soldiers to do these things, but Escarte seems to have a different opinion.”

Jeanne glanced at Frode. An ominous premonition rose in her heart. Was it still coming?

Sure enough, Judas smiled slightly and spoke unhurriedly.

“Based on my experience, I think there will be a more efficient and cost-effective way to dispose of the Zerg corpses. I heard that there are many deviants here in Trudheim, so let them help transport the Zerg corpses.

After fighting such a bitter battle, the soldiers must be extremely tired right now, and so their efficiency will also decline. Instead of them, why don’t we give the chance to the deviant to help the soldiers who have risked their lives to protect them? In this way, the soldiers will also have the time to recuperate. Kill two birds with one stone, if I may say.

Furthermore, those deviants must’ve been attacked by the monster when they invaded. Since they can’t receive federal medical treatment, without a doubt, most of them might have been infected by zerg poison, and if they haven’t, it is only a matter of time before they are.

So, instead of wasting time and effort waiting for them to die and then burning their corpse, why don’t let them perform the last service for the federation on their last day? I think this is a superb idea.

What do you think of my proposal, Ms. Jeanne?”

At the end of his words, a chilling chuckle came out of his mouth, causing Jeanne’s goosebump to spike.

Jeanne clenched her fists, raised a smile, and said in a feigned calm tone.

“Lieutenant General is joking. These deviants also suffered disasters, and they are exhausted and wounded as well. How much can they help? They will only drag us down. The loss outweighs the benefit.”

“How can you say it like that, young miss?” General Judas chuckled lightly, a brief madness gleaming in his eyes. “They can make contributions to the Federation before they die. How could they be unwilling? No matter how tired or painful their bodies are, as long as they can prove their value to the Federation again, they will definitely be enthusiastic. Don’t you think?”

“Don’t be too cruel to them young miss. Don’t take their opportunity to amend their ways. It’s not nice of you to do that. I think if they can complete the corpse clean up this time, I will personally ask the general to erect a monument with their name on it in the Memorial Hall for the Swarm Tide Victims. Generous, am I?”

‘Lunatic! This man is an absolute lunatic!’

The more Jeanne heard General Judas’s words, the dizzier and sicker she felt.

Even the word “cruel” paled in comparison to this man’s method.

Is this madman already speaking on the premise that all deviants will die? Furthermore, this man twists my words as if I’m the evil here attempting to bereft the deviants of their chance at salvation!

Jeanne always thought that she had a top-class negotiating ability, but she couldn’t even muster a word in front of this Devil.

His grudge against deviants had been etched deep in his bones; it had already become his obsession. No matter how eloquent Jeanne was, she wouldn’t be able to persuade this devil.

Originally, Jeanne wanted to avoid the topic of “mutate infected with the disease,” because she knew in her heart that once the deviant was infected by the disease, it would end up in death.

Having said that, it was one thing for the deviants to contract the disease and die, but it was another matter altogether to forcibly classify them as the infected and push them to deal with the Zerg corpses. The executioners of the former were the Zerg, while the executioners of the latter were their fellow human beings.

Dealing with Zerg corpses was a very dangerous job because Zerg’s blood is very infectious. If protective measures were not strictly applied, it was easy to be infected with insect poison and then fall ill.

Once they got the disease, there was no salvation for them, only a dead end.

Keiko had been poisoned by kudzu poison before, and Professor Bailey had also been poisoned by scorpion-shaped predators.

Both kudzu venom and scorpion venom were chemical toxins and were not contagious. However, zerg poison was a biological toxin that could be transmitted through blood and mucous membranes, which is more dangerous and harmful.

For example, the unfortunate female soldier with a broken arm was infected with Zerg poison because her wound was in contact with Zerg blood, and in the end, she ended up with euthanasia.

Did the deviants forced by Judas to clean up the Zerg’s corpse would be granted a good protective gear while doing it?

Absolutely not. They were practically given a death sentence.

Jeanne could already imagine the cruel scene where they were pushed into the burning Zerg corpse and turned to ashes together.

Jeanne knew that persuasion alone couldn’t stop Judas’s murderous intentions. On the other hand, Frode, who was beside her, was always gloomy and silent and did not seem to oppose Judas too much.

Jeanne guessed that General Eric had put pressure on Frode to delegate power to Judas, and Judas might have been given full responsibility for this matter.

That was to say, now Jeanne had no way out. There was only one way left—to delay time as much as possible.

Fortunately, she had already met Donna before and had mapped the current dynamic distribution map of the army in the Trudheim region.

The place that Frode was looking for was relatively hidden and could never be found by ordinary people.

The address and opening method of the underground secret warehouse and a part of the intercom device were handed over to Donna.

Jeanne spent two hours with Donna setting up a detailed plan to rescue all the deviants in Trudheim.

After the discussion, Donna Casperia hurriedly left the temporary hiding place to organize the manpower to search for the scattered deviants across the city and took them to the secret warehouse to hide, avoiding the limelight these days.

However, it would take time. Donna told Jeanne that it would take at least 7 hours to complete the evacuation completely.

However, it was less than an hour from when Donna left to when Jeanne sat in front of Judas.

There were still 6 hours left, and Jeanne had to buy at least another 6 hours, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Jeanne glanced at the time on the bracelet id. It was now… 6 o’clock in the evening. 6 hours later, it would be 0:00 in the morning. Who’d laughed in the end? We would see by then.

The corners of her mouth turned up, her blue eyes lit up with fighting spirit, and she said to herself, “Jeanne, from now on, this is your battlefield! That person helped you block the tide of thousands of zergs. Now it’s yours!”
