Chapter 29: Funders (for the brainless readers)
The new Ark reactor surprised Tony. She didn't know what to give to Luke. In the short time that Luke has been here, the dramatic changes she has brought to her and the rebel camp are obvious to all. Everything seemed to Toni like an unreal dream.
Toni pursed her thin lips and plucked up the courage to say something to Luke, when Dr. Otto walked in and told her to swallow her back.
Dr. Otto smiled and said to the two, "You're all here, that's just right, come with me to meet our funders." ”
"He's coming?" Toni was surprised.
"Funders?" Luke was puzzled.
Dr. Otto smiled and explained to him, "It's fair to say that if it weren't for the fact that this funder has been secretly funding us rebels at the great risk of being discovered by Nacui, we would never have survived until now." Wilson is our most loyal friend, and although he can't fight alongside us, he has been quietly fighting Nacui in another way. ”
"Without Wilson, there would be no Resistance." Toni followed suit.
"Wilson?" Luke was a little surprised in his heart, there is still such a character? He'd like to see it, too.
"Let's go, meet our old friend. He'd heard about you, Luke, and you wouldn't have imagined that your name had already spread through every rebel camp and become a legend. Dr. Otto's fat hand patted Luke on the back and smiled with satisfaction, "You have won the glory of our Manhattan district!" ”
"Are there any other rebel camps?" Luke was surprised to hear this. He thought this was the full picture of the Resistance.
"Of course, there are many like-minded people with us. Nacui's brutal rule has made all people with conscience rise up to resist, and countless unsung heroes have been born. Many of them have juniors who are well-known in their respective districts, leading their own teams, and are some of the most troublesome for their enemies. ”
"We, in Manhattan, are just one of the main branches of the Resistance." Toni also explained with a smile as she walked, "Don't you think that this is all our power? The rebels are so large that they have infiltrated underground networks throughout the East Coast. Not only in New York, Washington, but even across the ocean, there are rebels in Europe. All the forces that resist Nacui can technically be considered our allies, and we listen to the same voice. ”
"I see." Luke nodded, he really underestimated the rebels before. He saw Dr. Toni Otto and the others messing around here, and simply thought that the rebels were at the end of their rope.
Toni seemed to know Luke's thoughts, she smiled and said: "Actually, to a certain extent, you are right, most of the time, the resistance forces in various regions are not in direct contact, in order to avoid exposing each other and avoid being uprooted. Our secrecy is simple, and everyone is fighting their own battles. ”
"Yes, even I rarely contact the rebel leaders in Hell's Kitchen, Queens, or Brooklyn." Dr. Otto nodded, "We will easily not expose the presence of friendly forces unless we have to. ”
"Because of Christina?" Luke quickly figured it out.
"That's right. The eyes of the demon king can see through everything and easily see through the secrets buried under the surface. We've been hit by one of these catastrophes, and we've had this wonderful way of coping with it ever since. Dr. Otto said with some pride.
Luke was speechless and secretly scolded himself: "Forced to choose helplessly, it sounds good." ”
"Tell us about this funder?" Luke changed the subject.
Dr. Otto laughed and said, "Oh yes! Our friend Wilson heard about you, and he wanted to come and meet our Manhattan heroes. Normally, Wilson only sends us supplies every quarter, but this time it was about ten days in advance, and I think Wilson can't wait to meet you, the great master who fought against the Guardian Ancient One! ”
While they were talking, they had come to a sewer entrance. Along the way, some rebel fighters were so heavily armed that not even a single rat could pass through without warning.
Soon, the manhole cover opened, and two black-clad bodyguards jumped down first, these two people were dressed in suits and leather shoes, and they knew at a glance that they were not from the rebels.
Luke was surprised to see several rebels with guns on the side, and knew that it was the sponsor's bodyguards or something. The funder appears to be a man of status on the ground.
I saw two black-clothed bodyguards gesturing upward, and then, climbing down the rusty stairs, a chubby figure, was a back, and I couldn't see the face clearly.
Dr. Otto had already taken three or two steps to meet him, opened his arms, and laughed, "Wilson, are you alright, my old fellow!" ”
I saw that the chubby figure who came down from above turned around, revealing a face that Luke remembered vividly, the fat on his face trembled, but it was a kind smile: "Otto, my friend, it's great to see that you are still alive." ”
Dr. Otto, who was wide and fat, hugged the burly man who had become even fatter a few times. Luke's eyelids were jumping.
Wilson...... No wonder. Luke's face couldn't help but show a little strangeness, this so-called funder was actually Jinju......
Dr. Otto turned to look at Luke, beckoned to Luke, and said with a smile, "Come and get to know Luke, our great hero." This is a well-known philanthropist in New York, Wilson Fisk, who is a funder of our Manhattan Resistance. Almost all of us have weapons that he has provided. Old man, what good things did you bring us this time? ”
"Food, drinking water, ammunition, medicine, and a few other living materials." Wilson Fisk's smile trembled, and suddenly his face turned straight, and he said in a low voice: "However, these are only secondary. I came to meet this big hero, and I just stopped by. This time I also brought news from the rebel headquarters. ”
"What do you say? Message from HQ! When Dr. Otto heard this, he was shocked and shouted, "The headquarters is still there? Headquarters is not already ......"
"No, my friend, the headquarters has always been there. It's just been hidden in a place where no one can find it. You should understand why. Wilson Fisk said this, glanced at Luke, nodded to Luke kindly, and then continued: "But now everything has changed, the Demon King's eyes have been plucked out by you, and the headquarters thinks that this is a golden opportunity. A vigorous counteroffensive, my friend, is about to begin! ”
