Stuck in Campaign with negative workers

[7heTexanRebel]

I managed to fight off the final wave on the mission where you face 3 waves by the sea and they come from east and west. Well I must have missed a zombie or two when clearing the map because after clearing the wave I noticed that my tents were getting ransacked by like 2 zombies but it cascaded and infected most of my buildings before I could cleanse it. Unfortunately they got my Soldier Centers and I deleted them because I couldn't afford the repair and I had about -140 workers and couldn't repair anything, huge mistake.
Well now I have about 100 soldiers and -50 workers after deleting everything that used workers and there doesn't seem to be a way to restart the mission. There's no way that I can lose with this much military but I cant win because I need 700 pop to win.
Do I need to restart the entire damn Campaign?!

If you lose the mission you can play it again.

You can surrender by pressing the checkmark button to the right of the build menu and then press 'retire'. Losing a mission simply reduces victory points earned from the mission when you win it. Victory points is not a resource, but simply used for highscores.

Edit: Have you tried moving the soldiers to a soldier center and dismissing them so that you can get enough workers for rebuilding the colony?

Edit2: Woops, didn't see that you had sold the Soldier Center.

You can pause resource gathering structures(sawmills/quarries) to temporarily gain back workers.
You can focus fire your own soldiers to free supply.
You can sell structures until you have power and workers to repair or build energy structures etc.

You get the workers back if you just dismiss the soldiers at a soldier's center.

He said he sold his soldier center and can't make a new one.

He only needs to free up enough workers to get to 10, then he can dismiss the rest to focus on economy instead. Always better to get the refund if you can.

Thanks this is what I was looking for. Seem insane to not have the ability to resign.
To the people saying to free up workers and make a soldier center: I already did that and I went from -140 to about -50, I have no buildings using workers. All of my workers are tied up in military.

You can focus fire your own troops to free the necessary supply if you don't have a soldier center to dismiss them, until you can reach positive if nothing else can be done.

[Guts]

Order your troops to attack each other and they'll free up enough space to get to a positive number.

You're welcome. Was it not possible demolish or use friendly fire (attack button then click on friendly unit) to free it up?
