Chapter Ninety-One: Return to the Resistance
In a secret stronghold of the Resistance Army, several large men in military trench coats gathered around Jack, sitting with a serious face, the whole room was very dark, the light was very dark, and the atmosphere was a little depressing.
"Jack, I'm glad you're alive, but... You know what I mean," said the big man in the officer's hat solemnly, he also heard that Jack was still alive, so he rushed here immediately, but after meeting, Jack directly talked to him straight to the point.
"It's a bit risky, but it's one of the few opportunities we have." Jack patiently explained.
He returned to the Resistance and was not idle at all, he persuaded the big man with the military hat in front of him, he was the supreme commander here, his name was John, and he was directly responsible for many things.
Jack knew that Mia didn't have much time left, so he hoped that the Resistance would push the attack forward, but judging by John's face, he didn't want to accept Jack's proposal.
"I know that this is a bit risky, but the enemy is also facing the same risk, and the information I have provided to you is absolutely accurate, there are one of the few baggage factories of the enemy, and those days are also the time when the enemy's defense is the most vulnerable, Rhodium crystal is not so easy to load." Jack continued to patiently explain that he had to be patient.
"But do you know, this involves the whole body, we go directly to hit their baggage factory, they will surround us in turn, have you thought about this problem?" John interrupted Jack and tossed his hat aside, pulling a cigar from his bosom.
The room was quiet for a moment, Jack touched the bandages he was wrapped all over his body with both hands, and then pointed at John and looked at him with an unwilling expression, he heard John's thoughts, John didn't want to take risks, he was a coward, he didn't want to take responsibility.
"You know, many of them are unwilling, they are not an indestructible stone, if we can free the Starstriped test subjects there, maybe they can help us resist the Starstriped Corporation, and they can also be our strength against the Starstriped Corporation." Jack went on to explain that he felt his face change, but John had seen his reluctance.
John took out his lighter and lit a cigar, the light of the lighter lit up the dark room, John was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a thick beard and some wrinkles on his face, and he looked like a man who had experienced wind and frost.
"You also said, maybe, so that's just maybe, I know you have great command skills, but do you understand, our resistance is just a pistol, but there is only one bullet in the gun, and we have to rely on this bullet to protect the surviving humans, and we have to fight against the Starstripe Corporation, you know my analogy." John said as he took a puff of his cigar and turned his back to Jack and spat the smoke ring aside.
"If this bullet doesn't go out, then it's just a bullet and can't provide any deterrence to the enemy! If we can't inflict damage on the enemy, the outcome will be the same, and we won't be able to protect the surviving humans. Jack's face was getting worse and worse, and the light in the room was dim, but his appearance was really visible to John.
Suddenly, John smiled, a sneer, but not a mockery, and took another puff on his cigar, then looked at the wall and thought about something, then took off his gloves and took out a delicate little pocket watch from his coat pocket, and illuminated it by the light of the lighter.
It was an old English pocket watch, the plating on the watch body had been somewhat depreciated, it was something his wife had given him many years ago, and he had kept it, but in the cataclysm, his wife was dead, and the yellowed head photo in the pocket watch was the only picture of his wife in his hand.
"My wife, Jennifer, you know," John said, looking at the yellowed photograph and sipping a cigar.
Jack didn't speak, he didn't look at the pocket watch in John's hand, he just tried his best to convince John that he didn't want Mia to die like this, he had to try it for both public and private purposes.
"She is a very bold person, and when I think back to the scene when I fell in love with her at that time, I still think I will have a headache." The lighter's flame went out, and the delicate little pocket watch made a soft sound when folded, and the little watch was put back in its pocket.
John's expression changed slightly, and then he took the cigar in his left hand, pointed to Jack, who was standing in front of him wrapped in bandages, and motioned for him to sit down, there was a somewhat shabby sofa behind Jack, but still able to sit.
But Jack remained unmoved, and stood in front of John, and he wanted to add something, but then he felt that it would be redundant, and that would be a mistake, and the two of them stood quietly for a while, and the room did not make any more noise.
"I'm bold, I'm learning Jennifer, so I can sit in this position, but I can't win against Starprint just by being bold, I need someone, I need a gunner who can hit this bullet on the enemy's vital point." John said, and then took a sharp puff on his cigar, his expression calming down, more like discussing something.
Jack instantly understood what John meant, and then staggered over to John, raised his hand and put his hand on John's shoulder, and said, "I'll be the gunner, and I can guarantee that the bullet will hit the enemy's vital point." ”
"This is also where I appreciate you, sit down, let's study the anti-encirclement thing, I think, you must have something to learn." John sat on the couch to the side, crossed his legs with an expectant expression.
Jack's hanging heart finally relaxed, he knew that he had succeeded, he persuaded John, and then a smile appeared on his face, and in the long dark night, the two of them chatted endlessly about the judgment and thoughts of the situation.
