So, the reduction of soldiers that had to go with them was actually good because all the 14 soldiers with them were soldiers that had a higher level of skills.
If they had to travel with a lot of soldiers who couldn't deal with level 2 zombies, then they would probably have some casualties.
Treyton and the other people in the team couldn't watch everyone because there were also some people in their team that weren't strong enough to deal with level 2 zombies at the moment.
For example, Astrid and the others still couldn't deal with level 2 zombies on their own.
If there's an emergency, Treyton and the others who could deal with those stronger zombies would surely pay attention to their members first before other people.
So, it's better to have more skilled people that could help them protect their members than people that they had to protect.
With all the people with them, they easily dealt with all the zombies that were inside the building.
