Inside the checkpoint command post, General Baker had just finished a conversation with Mexico City, conveying Victor's instructions on strengthening border control and monitoring refugee movements.
After receiving a report from the front lines, he immediately walked to the surveillance screen, studying the blurry images transmitted by the tower camera, observing the chaos of dust and the surging crowd, his face darkened.
"Can you identify the pursuers?" Baker asked.
"Too far, too chaotic, can't clearly distinguish! But they are definitely not regular troops, the formation is scattered, shooting at will!" replied the Lieutenant.
"How many refugees are there?"
"Over two thousand! And increasing! They're very panicked, some people are already nearing the barbed wire obstacles!"
Baker quickly weighed the situation.
