***Slight changes are made in the last chapter***
The first thing Same saw then he went down the ladder was a few lots of buildings. There were kids running around on the pavement. 'This layer is least affected by radiation, so its the residential area for people who got their houses destroyed in the war or got kicked out by the imperial police in the inner ring.' Three kids heard Usyair's voice and quickly ran towards him. 'Uncle Ussy!!!' one shouted. 'You got the stuffs today?' the other one. 'Shhh! after our mommys will hear us.' 'Yeah yeah, they're right here.' Usyair took out a small bag from his coat and gave it to one of the kid. The kid took out the contents inside, it was candy. 'Thanks uncle Ussy!' Then he ran off. 'Hey don't hog it all!' the other two follow. 'Well we got that taken care of, i'll let you guys meet the governor of this area.' Same followed. 'What significant position do you hold in the rebellion?' Leong asked. 'Oh, i'm the foreign relations also head of the rebellion.' Leong nodded.
The first house on the third block is the governor's house. Usyair knocked on the door 'Eagle, its me.'. A moment later the door opened, it was a middle aged woman with short hair in a black T-shirt and shorts. 'Boys, this is the governor of the residential area, Miss Hantus.' Same and Leong shook hands with Hantus 'No need to be so formal with me, you guys can just call me Eagle.' Then she turned her head, showing a feather pinned and tucked in her hair 'Well this is my late pet Eagle's feather, well come in for some tea.'. Usyair, Leong and Same sat down on the couch. Eagle served tea and then sat down herself. 'Eagle is a citizen in Latin America, which is now named Area 32, she got drafted here as a military nurse during the war.' 'I was helping the Empire at that time.' 'Then why did you come to the rebellion?' Same asked? 'Well, a lot of of things happened, discrimination of non-lamists people helping the cause and all that stuff.' 'Oh okay.' 'In the residential area, there's a cafeteria, a gym and a shooting range.You guys can use those facilities freely.' She then stood up and looked out of the window. 'People here never get to see the sunlight, though they come out to the surface sometimes to buy essentials. So i hope that you guys can liberate these people from a life of living underground.' 'We will.' said Leong. 'So lets bring you guys for a tour of the whole residential area.' Everyone stood up and followed Eagle out.
Usyair went up to check on Fats and Skin. 'So this here building is the cafeteria.' Eagle pointed to a small house. 'It works like a restaurant on the surface,then only difference is its underground and it is not high tech.' They keep walking down the street, they see a big building with a sign writing "Gymnasium" 'Well, as you can see this is the gym. People who are not slackers in the rebellion come here and train.' Now they walk to the building down at the corner. Gunshots can be heard from the outside. 'This is obviously the shooting range, home to our best shooters the twins. Lets go in.' Eagle opened the door and they see four doors. Eagle opened the door on the right. In there, two guys are in there shooting at targets with pistols. 'Ran! Lun!' Eagle shouted. They took off their ear protection and looked to Eagle's direction. 'We got two new recruits., Same and Leong.' The one with a blonde mullet walked to Same and Leong and reached his hand out to shake hands 'The name's Lun, Gunman.' The other one with short blonde hair came 'This here's my sister Ran, Gunman and Spotter' 'Nice to meet you!' Her cheerful voice came out and greeted Same and Leong. 'I know i look like a boy in these clothes, hair and chest size but these are the attributes that makes me nimble you know?' 'But you look good to me' said Same 'Thanks! and now to business. What firearms do you two specialize in?' 'Hey, i'm gonna leave now, remember to be at the cafeteria when it dinner time, you will have free time to wander around after this.' Eagle left the shooting range. 'Well i specialize in rifles while Same's in high caliber pistols.'
'Tell me why am i doing this again?' Same said while holding two pistols in a jumpsuit that looks like the Trilibalt amour. ' We want to see your performance on the battle field you know.' Same was in an empty room full of space. 'This is a virtual simulation, please put on the helmet over there and strap it on tight.' Same took the helmet on the floor and put it on. 'Now, you have limited bullets and in urban territory with assailants everywhere. You will get hurt if you get shot by the assailants, if the shots hit vital organs or shot you many times, you're out!' Same nodded. 'Good luck Same!' Then followed by a kissing sound.
