"What about the soldiers? I can assume that we won't go underground like the civilians, right?" Yuan asked after learning the truth.
Mei Feng nodded and said, "Obviously. Who else will fight the invaders if not us? You'll experience it yourself soon, too. The training drill, that is."
"I can't wait." Yuan smiled.
"Anyway, let's get to the main reason I called you here today."
Mei Feng's expression suddenly turned serious.
"This may seem sudden, but I am going to give you a mission. I know you just joined, and most new soldiers don't receive their first mission until their second year in the military, but you want fast promotions, right?"
He nodded.
"Of course. What kind of mission is it?"
"Clearing trash outside the city."
"...Excuse me?" Yuan muttered, his eyebrows raised in a puzzled manner.
"It's not literal trash. You'll understand once you get there," Mei Feng said.
"Will I be doing this alone? I have never been outside the city."
