ACT 230: The Wood Is Done



ACT230: The wood is ready

On the third day after the funeral, the island returned to calm, at least, as it seemed.

The three days were not completely peaceful, Caroline's surprise attack destroyed not only a wedding, but also the entire island was reduced by more than half of the staff within an hour, and the male labor force accounted for the majority, and after the battlefield was cleaned, more practical problems were placed in front of the leaderless islanders. Although some of the islanders had great opinions about Jimbo at that time, in any case, Jimbo was still the nominal owner of the island, and even the people who hated him the most had to admit that without this hands-off shopkeeper, the islanders who survived the catastrophe were completely scattered.

When Jimbo was there, their dissatisfaction and resentment still had nowhere to be sprinkled, and now that this person is gone, people's bitterness and resentment can only be swallowed in their stomachs, and they don't know who to turn to if they want to vent. The leader of the rebel faction survived, including the few people who were in the stilted building that night and Jimbo bared his teeth, and a few days ago, they dug out their hearts to bring down Jimbo, and now they got their wish, but the wind did not go as they wished.

The islanders who survived threw themselves at Fang Fei, crying or praying, in short, in the hearts of these islanders, if there was anyone to rely on at this time, it must be Fang Fei, not Qian Wanguo. Clear-eyed people can also see that the reason why the islanders have such thoughts is not because Fang Fei has much personal charm, but mainly because there are Song Jiu and the others standing behind her.

It is true that Song Jiu and the others are still outsiders, and the gang that attacked the wedding scene seems to be coming for them. But the attackers have already left, and judging from the current situation, the value of letting Song Jiu and the others stay on the island is obviously higher than taking them away, and then again, you can't bomb them if you want to.

Moreover, the people who survived were not blind, they still remembered the situation that day, from the time the militants appeared to the time they left, only Song Jiu and these people fought back, although it had little effect, although it was useless, but they did it. This is the only point, no matter how much the small group of Qian Wanguo fanned the flames, the people who are eager to return to a peaceful life are chicken thieves, they understand that at this special moment, a group of people who dare to fight and kill are the leaders, and they are definitely better than a group of people who can only play tricks.

However, they still didn't think about it, not everyone just wanted to survive like them, and for Song Jiu's group, the people's desire to show the islanders at the moment was meaningless, not only did it not serve as a comfort, but it seemed extremely noisy.

There are few companions left, dead and dead, captured and captured, who the cares about your eating, drinking, and Lazar?

The night was dark, the evening breeze was silent, and the stilted building belonging to Jimbo was still lit.

Song Jiu and the others were all gathered in the living room, sitting or standing, with different expressions, and the air was filled with a solemn atmosphere. The corner carpet lifted, and the basement opened a secret door, reeking of gun oil.

When all is done, the living must continue, for the sake of their dead companions, and for their own sake.

The question of how Caroline had followed her here was also clear, and it was clear that they had been careless from the start, and the novelty and euphoria of escaping the land had made them lose their vigilance. When I came across an engineering ship at sea, looking back now, it may not be an accident at all, the other party may have been looking for them, and they took the initiative to hit the muzzle. After that, a storm disturbed his thoughts, and he was paralyzed and vigilant again for the rest of his life after the catastrophe, and then landed on the island, and the long-lost comfort came to his face, and all the things that should be considered and guarded against were washed away by the wine and food.

Now that the need for accountability has been lost, the alarm bell has sounded too hard to allow them to continue to indulge in mourning. All of us are gathered here today to discuss the way forward, not to remember the souls of the dead.

A few minutes ago, Wu Wentao briefly clarified his speculation, and with Fang Fei's consent, exposed Jinbo's hidden underground arms, and put forward the opinion that it should not be stopped. Before they made up their minds, they all frowned and thought about Wu Wentao's words, and the atmosphere was a little dull.

"What do you mean..."Song Yaoxiu frowned slightly, carefully thinking about what happened before and after, and puzzled: "Caroline did not hesitate to travel here for the purpose of Yu'an?" ”

"Obviously." Wu Wentao nodded, seeing that everyone's faces were different, he explained: "Or to put it another way, the purpose is not Yu'an itself, they have other plans." ”

"What do you mean?" Song Yao asked the voice of most people, if it is said that there is a certain purpose to arrest people, then the most valuable person here should be Huihui, there is no doubt about it, but there is no reason for the foreign girl to know about Huihui's special situation.

Song Jiu, who had been silent for a long time, raised his head and said slowly, "Do you remember?" When we went to the industrial park to save people, those people originally planned to leave with Yu'an, but they were forced to stop by Lao Cao and them halfway, so they didn't succeed. ”

Song Yao was stunned when she heard this, and immediately remembered the situation at that time, Luo Yu was also present at that time, and the three of them did see the scene where the other party hijacked Yu An and fled, and they didn't understand the specific reason at the time, but now that they think about it, they seem to have vaguely guessed something in their minds.

"Speaking of which, it's still antibodies." Song Jiu rubbed his stiff face and sighed: "We all ignored one thing, Yu An and Xiao Xiong were captured together, Xiao Xiong was killed, but Yu An did not suffer the same torture, there must be a reason for this." ”

"But aren't antibodies only carried by Megumi?" Lu Qian could understand the meaning of Song wine, but she couldn't look at it well, and wondered: "Could it be that because Yu'an and Huihui have been together for a long time, Yu'an has also become an antibody?" Are antibodies contagious? ”

"So, aren't we all antibodies?" Acne Girl and Lucy thought of it together, and echoed in a low voice.

Song Jiu shook his head, nodded again, was silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "The only one who knows anything about this is Doctor Zhong. ”

Everyone was silent when they heard this, and the words they had just provoked were extinguished.

Wu Wentao swept everyone's expressions, coughed lightly, and said: "I agree with Song Jiu's statement, something must have happened in the industrial park at that time, but we don't have to guess now, what is the reason, only after contacting the establishment can we know the answer." Also, this matter is not the point. ”

"Huh?"

"I want to ask you one thing first." Wu Wentao lit his cigarette pouch unhurriedly, lowered his eyebrows for a moment, and asked aloud, "Do you plan to continue?" ”

"What do you mean?" Everyone looked puzzled.

"We chose to go to sea, the purpose is not to come to the island to enjoy Qingfu, now that things have happened, you should also wake up, it's still too late to quit." Wu Wentao glanced at Song Jiu, who nodded and motioned for him to continue.

"This island has been exposed, but Caroline has achieved her goal, she should not come back anytime soon, and there are no walking corpses here, there is water and electricity, and it is suitable for life." Wu Wentao's gaze stopped at the chef Niang Jia and the others, sighed, and said lightly: "The establishment and Kenny, one is a wolf and the other is a tiger, no matter which side you deal with, it is not an easy task, and antibodies can't add more chips to us." ”

"So what?" Yang Xiaomeng heard that Wu Wentao seemed to have something in his words, and wondered: "What do you want to express?" ”

"The road behind may be even more dangerous than on the day of the wedding, and with good intentions, I suggest that you think carefully and don't push yourself." Wu Wentao somehow lost his previous directness today, and he spoke in circles. However, there are also smart people present, and there are some things that need not be said too clearly, everyone understands.

The stilted building fell silent, everyone was thinking about it, and the next decision meant that there might never be any possibility of seeing each other again, life or death, each with its own destiny.

"Out to sea." Wu Wentao waited for a moment and asked, "It's better to stay." ”

Cao Zheng was the first to give a clear answer, his face was expressionless, and he spit out two words lightly: "Go to sea." ”

Yang Xiaomeng and Dai Wei were stunned for a moment, glanced at each other, and were a little worried in each other's eyes.

"I, I'm going to sea too." Yang Xiaomeng replied.

Dai Wei hesitated for a moment, then turned his head to look at Luo Yu, who had a resolute look in his eyes, no need to ask, her answer must be to leave.

"Out to sea." Dai Wei sighed lightly in his heart and echoed.

Song Yao and Lu Qian didn't think about staying at all, the matter has come to this point, it is normal for others to withdraw, what kind of matter is it for them to quit.

Song Jiu was the same, quietly looking at everyone present, his eyes fell on Hui Hui, who had a sad face, frowned and thought about it, and said, "Hui Hui, don't force yourself, you have the right to choose." ”

"I..." Hui Hui was stunned, she didn't expect Song Jiu to say such a thing, she seemed to be a little at a loss for a while, and turned her head to look at Wu Wentao, who also nodded and handed over the decision to her.

Song Jiu sat up straight and said, "Although the antibodies in your body are very important, it is still unknown whether this trip will have an end, if you don't want to take risks, then don't force yourself." If we can find the establishment, it's a big deal to come back again, and you don't have to worry about that. ”

"Thanks, I see what you mean." Hui Hui nodded in thanks, pursed her lips, and a hint of firmness flashed in her eyes, and said, "Maybe I'm a little self-conscious, but I really don't want to live in hiding like this, and Yu'an's arrest also has something to do with me, I can't pretend that nothing happened." I'm not like you guys who can kill and fight, and I rely on you to take care of me all the way, but fortunately, I have an irreplaceable role in other aspects, so I'm not useless, right? ”

Song Jiu raised his eyebrows and said firmly: "Of course." ”

"That's good, let me go with you again, life and death, I understand. No matter what the result is, it is worthy of everyone, Dr. An, and himself. ”
