CHAPTER XXXI
"Since the gang is targeting Cory. Stan, we might as well use him as bait to lure them in! ”
Task Force Leader Parker's voice came from the liaison, and coincidentally his plan was exactly the same as ZF's.
"I'm afraid that's not right, right? If something happens to Cory, our efforts will be in vain! ”
Henry listened to Parker's plan and was deeply worried.
"It's dangerous, but we'll do everything we can to protect him. And there's no better way to do it now, you say? ”
Captain Parker didn't want to give up, so he persuaded Henry "bitterly".
"You're in charge of this mission, and you're in charge. I'm just a helper, but I suggest you ask Tina! ”
Henry wanted to stop Parker, but suddenly thought of his identity. It's not very suitable for "pointing fingers", so I take a step back.
"You're right! I'll apply to the leader! ”
Parker was very helpful to what Henry had said, and hung up......
"You've heard you, we'll just have to wait for Parker's news now."
Henry put down the liaison and said to Sean, who was listening.
"I've heard it all, and that's it......"
Scout Sean nodded and motioned for Henry to sit down and rest.
"By the way, what is the origin of this group of foreign militants?"
Henry found a comfortable chair and sat down, and Sean brought him and Jim some more to eat. Henry eats as he asks Sean for information.
"I only know that these people are rebels in a certain country in the Middle East, and the rest is not clear......"
Sean wanted to help Henry, but he didn't know much.
"So what are these guys kidnapping Corey for? Will he be compelled to make arms for them? ”
Henry felt that something was wrong, so he asked his own questions.
"Corey is a military scientist, and his research focuses on new types of weapons. I guess these militants are also interested in this, right? ”
Sean swallowed the food in his mouth and spoke his guess.
"A new type of weapon? Can you elaborate on that? ”
Henry was even more curious when he heard these words, and then he continued to ask.
"I really don't know about this...... However, looking at ZF's attitude, it can only show that this person is very important! ”
Sean apologized and said he really didn't know any more information.
"The ZF of the Sea Blue Zone and the militants outside the sea are eyeing Corey, this person is really not simple......"
Henry muttered to himself, but Shaun heard his words anyway.
"That's right! Major Tina takes this mission very seriously, which is why you came......"
Sean patted Henry's "sycophant" without a trace, and then handed Henry a bottle of water.
"You don't have to, I just happened to take on this task. Actually, I didn't want to come, but I couldn't help it. ”
Henry didn't expect Sean to hear what he said, and he felt as if Sean had misunderstood.
"You don't have to be modest! You and this brother dared to come to the military factory single-handedly, which can only show that you are both civil and military! When I get back, I hope you can say a few more kind words in front of Major Tina......"
Sean said a bunch of nonsensical things, and Henry was dumbfounded.
"I don't have that much face! Besides, why do you say that? ”
Henry didn't understand what Sean meant, so he could only ask him.
"Hey, don't mention it...... Our task force has messed up this mission, and if you don't get punished when you go back, you can burn high incense......"
When Sean said this, he suddenly frowned.
"How so? You ......"
Henry wanted to continue saying something, but saw that Sean had connected to the liaison. He sensed that there was news from Parker, so he didn't continue.
"Captain, I'm Sean. You say......"
Sean didn't know what else Henry was going to say, but now he didn't have the time to care.
"Uh-huh, I see, I'll convey it to him!"
This time, Sean didn't ask Henry to answer the contact directly, but answered something.
"Captain Parker said they gave the task force an ultimatum, let's hand over Corey or they'll attack!"
Sean ended the call and said to Henry with a solemn face.
"You mean the militants?"
Henry was also taken aback after listening to Sean's words.
"That's right! Captain Parker said that the other party was only given half an hour, and he was preparing for battle. ”
Scout Sean nodded and said worriedly.
"You mean there's no room for negotiation?"
Henry just wanted to complete the task given to him by Tina as soon as possible, and didn't want to make a fuss.
"I have to fight! The task force was definitely not going to hand over Corey to them, so they had to bite the bullet! ”
After Shaun finished speaking, he gathered his equipment, and it seemed that he was planning to leave here.
"Are you going to help Parker?"
Henry understood Sean's intentions, but he still asked again, uncomfortably.
"That's right! I'm afraid the captain's side won't be able to handle it! ”
Sean packed everything and looked at Henry and said.
"So what should we do?"
Henry dragged Jim, who had not spoken for a long time, over, and looked at Sean and said sincerely.
"That's right! b
o! What do you think we should do? ”
Henry looked at Jim's sad face, and poked him and motioned for him to say something nice.
"No need! Just protect yourselves! If... I mean, if we can't go back, please send Corey back to the troop in exchange for each other. Please make sure you explain to her that we did our best! ”
Sean took Henry's hand very solemnly, looked into his eyes and said.
"Don't say these things! You must ...... No, we'll be able to go back safely! ”
Henry originally wanted to say, "You will definitely go back alive", but he thought of himself, so he changed it to "we".
"Thank you!"
Scout Sean thanked Henry very much, saluted him, and then opened the door and went out......
"Hey! b
o! He's gone, let's go, shall we? ”
Jim "quits" again.
"Go back if you want! I won't keep you this time! ”
Henry lowered his hand, surprisingly not holding Jim.
“b
o! Why didn't you let me stay this time! ”
Jim was surprised to see Henry's previous attitude.
"I'm going to work hard, I don't want to bother you......"
The sudden addition of this group of militants made the mission confusing. He didn't want Jim to lose his life, so he let him go.
"That's good! Then I'll go, take care! ”
Jim, who has always been hippie and smiling, timid and scared, did not look at Henry as seriously as before this time.
"How careful you are! I'm not going to send you! ”
Henry took a deep breath and nodded heavily.
“……”
Jim didn't speak, turned around and opened the door and left......
After sending Jim away, Henry began to check the equipment as well.
It didn't take long for Henry to pack everything. However, he did not leave in a hurry, but sat down again.
"What should I do in this situation?"
Henry put the pistol on the table and said to himself.
Today's situation is not optimistic. Supporting the task force may not be a good one. To fight against the militants, it is also unrealistic. Now Henry was a little embarrassed, and he didn't know what he should do for a while.
"Forget it, I'd better wait and see!"
Henry shook his head and got up to leave.
If you don't have an idea, it's better to improvise......
As soon as Henry walked on his front foot, Jim turned back to the cabin.
"Hey! b
o! Surprise no ?! ”
Jim returned to his usual appearance and shouted in shock.
"Huh? What about people?! ”
When Jim left the house, he was very uneasy. He felt that he could not leave Henry alone, so he returned to him.
To Jim's disappointment, however, Henry was gone.
Jim turned the house upside down and found no figure of Henry, and suddenly his mood became very bad. But on second thought, since he was already back, he must be brought back.
"This guy shouldn't have gone far!"
Jim felt that Henry couldn't go far in the short term, so he packed up his mood and chased after him......
