1469 has been waiting for the opportunity
Leaving the lab, Carter and John did not hide the heaviness on their faces.
Although the heavy reason is how to get out of Buha Island, in the eyes of outsiders who don't know what's going on, these two people are worried about the attack of the worms, which is just in line with the current chaos.
At this time, the sky was close to total darkness, and the sound of artillery was still in the distance, and the flash of the shell explosion could be faintly seen.
Looking up, there is no moon in the sky, only stars. The line of sight was flat, and the insects gathered together in twos and threes, probes probing their heads to look into the distance.
John glanced around, but didn't see the person he was looking for, so he couldn't help frowning and circled around the clearing unhurriedly.
At the moment, only a handful of people know about the escape plan, and the vast majority of the Zerg are kept in the dark, how will these people react if the plan is announced?
Agree?
Or against?
There are only about a hundred Zerg people on Buha Island, and although they are very united on weekdays, but at this critical moment of life and death, will anyone betray this group?
These questions kept circling in John's mind, and he gradually made up his mind that if he did not move, he would not allow anyone to oppose or withdraw from the action.
Unless it's a dead man!
John, who had made up his mind, was relieved, and now it was up to him to see if he could wait for the right time.
Thinking of this, John began to observe the position of the guards - just listening to the sound of gunfire, he knew how fierce the battle on the outskirts of Buha Island was, but there were not only no fewer guards around the clearing, but there were many more than usual, which showed how deeply the defenders were guarding against the insects.
This is understandable to John, after all, the worms have escaped from the aliens, and it is strange that the north has no worries, but it is one thing to understand, and it is another thing to feel pain.
In the past, there was no way to do it, and the defenders could only look at it like a prisoner, but today, everything will be different!
Carter suddenly stopped John, who was wandering around, and lowered his voice: "John, persuade everyone, let everyone go back to rest, if you wait like this, when will you be the leader?" ”
John turned his head to look at the sky, and the flashes of explosion came again and again: "Everyone is worried, except for those who have no heart and lungs, which one can rest at ease?" ”
It's not that there are no people who go back to the dormitory, but only a very small minority, and the vast majority of people stay in the open space, even if they can't get any news, they don't want to go back.
"Gotta go back!" Carter said, "You have to let everyone conserve their physical strength, and when the opportunity comes, you have to have physical strength, right?" ”
John immediately nodded, clapped his hands and said loudly: "Everyone go back, it's okay, the aliens will definitely not be able to hit here, let's go back and rest." ”
The insects looked at John in a daze, their minds were a little foggy, and many of them couldn't help but look at Carter beside John.
John was revered as the leader of all the insects because he led the people out of the control of the aliens, and if he had just arrived on the island two years ago, no one would have questioned John's orders.
But now it's a little different, because of John's decision, all the bugmen have been under house arrest in the northern capital for more than two years, and there are not a few of the more than a hundred bugmen who have no grievances in their hearts.
In addition, Carter's current status has been exchanged for various techniques by Carter, and in the minds of many Zermen, Carter's opinion is even more important.
The reason why John was the first to find Carter was because he knew that Carter's prestige was no less than his own, and even more than that.
However, Carter is obsessed with technology, has no interest in management and other work, belongs to the easiest type of people to win over, and there is no conflict of interest between the two, so John is not worried about Carter seizing power.
Sure enough, as John expected, Carter immediately helped: "John is right, this time it must be the same as before, there is nothing to see, let's go back and rest." ”
After listening to Carter's words, the insects present gradually dispersed, and after a while, the shadow of the insects was no longer visible in the clearing.
The guards in the distance finally breathed a sigh of relief and reported the situation to the command.
The gathering of the Zergs is due to an alien attack, which is indeed understandable by nature, but this does not mean that the defenders have relaxed their vigilance.
What if there is a mole sent by aliens in the worm? What if some of them were to be re-controlled by aliens? What if that is what if?
In short, at any time, the supervision of the insects cannot be relaxed.
Few of the worms who returned to the dormitory could rest in peace, and they still gathered together in twos and threes and muttered.
John wanted to put them on the bed for sleep, but he couldn't really do it, could he?
The whole dormitory, that is, the guys who came from the military background, could ignore the sound of gunfire and fall asleep on the beds one by one...... I don't know if I'm really asleep, or if I'm pretending to be asleep.
John would rather everyone pretend to be asleep in their beds than see them chew their tongues together.
Time passed slowly, but every second was very determined, and at about twenty-two o'clock, Carlos, who looked tired, finally returned to the dormitory, and with Phil came back.
John was in good spirits and immediately called the two aside: "Why did you come back?" ”
Carlos said: "There was a lot of chaos in the headquarters, I waited a little longer, and deliberately rubbed for a while, and Phil heard a lot of news. ”
John was anxious, but he had to suppress his feelings: "What news did you hear?" ”
Carlos looked at Phil, "Did you hear the news, or did you say it?" ”
Phil smiled awkwardly, "You still say it, I don't even know what they mean." ”
John urged impatiently: "Don't be verbose, either of you can say anything, I just want to know the result, I don't care who says it!" ”
Carlos hurriedly said: "When I was in the headquarters, I heard on the radio that the battle was very fierce, the front was no longer able to withstand it, and there were not many shells left, and the current support artillery fire mainly came from two warships!" ”
"Battleship?" John's expression became very solemn, "In which direction?" ”
The warship is definitely a big one. Trouble, if you are intercepted by a warship while fleeing from Bucha...... The consequences are unimaginable!
"I don't know." Carlos said, "I heard it was serious, and I'd like to hear about it later, but those damn guys kicked me out, and Phil heard the rest." ”
"What did Phil hear?" John looked at Carlos with anger in his eyes.
Carlos glanced at Phil: "He said that the command ordered the troops in front to abandon their positions and shrink their defenses with the laboratory as the center!" ”
"Do they really say that? Did you hear it right? John almost jumped up and grabbed Phil by the shoulder.
If the defenders all shrank to the vicinity of the laboratory, it would be difficult to leave, but the process of shrinking must be accompanied by all kinds of chaos, isn't this the opportunity he has been waiting for?
