"Notice, at eight o'clock in the evening everyone assembles in the dining area; Notice, everyone will meet at the dining area at 8 p.m.! The radio inside the base suddenly sounded, and everyone's eyes were drawn to it.

"Hey, Ciel, Kim," Thompson appeared at the door to Ciel's room, "Did you hear that on the radio?" ”

"Of course, we're not deaf," Hill was a little unhappy to see Thompson appear at the door, this man was coming over from time to time now, Hill was trying to get close to Jason, she didn't want to be misunderstood that there was some relationship between her and Thompson that went beyond friendship.

"It's not going to be easy to announce at this point, and I think there's going to be something big going on at the base," Thompson said, completely ignoring Hill's emotions. His gaze fell on Ciel's, a smile on his face.

"Would you like to come in and sit down, Thompson?" Kim looked at the man standing at the door and felt that it was rude to turn him away, so he took the initiative to invite him in.

"Thanks, Kim," Thompson moved over the chair next to him and sat down next to Hill, he looked out the door and whispered, "I just went to the West End for a walk, and I saw that Jason and many of them were packing up, are they going to do something soon?" ”

Thompson's words surprised both Hill and Kim, and they looked at each other, then Hill looked at the watch on his wrist and said, "It's almost an hour until eight o'clock, and whatever it is, we'll always know when that time comes." ”

"We don't have a say in the field, we can only follow them," Thompson said, "and I wish I could stay in a stable sanctuary and wait for the world to recover." Following behind professional soldiers in this way, the future is really not very optimistic for us ordinary civilians. ”

"They'll at least protect us, Thompson, and I don't think you should complain, but be grateful to them," Hill said, "If it hadn't been for them, we'd probably have died on Route 106, and to be honest, I don't really like the feeling of being buried under the sand." ”

"Hill, you may have misunderstood me," Thompson explained, "and they saved our lives, and it was safe to stay with them, I don't deny that, but I want to say about the future." After all, they have a mission to perform, and our need is to survive, you must know that military missions are inherently dangerous, let alone in the current environment. ”

As Thompson spoke, he kept Hill's expression on his face, and his heart relaxed a little when he saw that she didn't continue to refute his words.

"With them, if the location is changed to the outside now, then they will not be able to ensure the safety of our civilians when they are on a mission," Thompson continued, "Come to think of it, we can't compare to them in terms of physical fitness or tactical literacy, and if we are all in a dangerous environment together, is our survival situation very worrying?" ”

"You have a point, but I think it's safer to stay with Jason and them." Hill remembered what happened to him and Kim before, and he still trusted these GIs more psychologically.

"Well," Thompson said with some frustration, thinking to himself that he would be the first to stand up and protect Hill in case of danger in the future.

"Have you had dinner?" Kim asked.

"I've eaten," Thompson touched his stomach, "and I talked to a few of the soldiers while I was eating, but they were all tight-lipped. ”

"If we get closer to those scientists, there should be no problem," Hill said confidently, "Jason's mission is to protect these scientists, and we're not on their list of people to protect, so we can't be too outlied, as long as we stay with the scientists, we'll be as safe as they are." ”

"Well, you have a point," Thompson nodded.

"Do you know anything about those scientists?" "They don't seem to go to the shooting practice room very often, and they usually spend most of their time in their rooms or offices." ”

Both Hill and Kim shook their heads, and Thompson continued: "That Dr. Mario, it seems that he has won the Nobel Prize, and I have some impressions of him. ”

"Really?" Kim and Hill asked, surprised.

"Anyway, I've seen him on TV, and I think it was a few years ago." Thompson carefully recalled, "I remember that he was very accomplished in physiology and medicine. ”

"It turns out that there is such a powerful bull around you!" Kim and Hill both sighed.

"It's not too early, why don't we go to the dining area and wait now, maybe we can meet them, and then we can talk." Thompson looked at the two girls in front of him, waiting for their opinions.

"Okay, let's go over now." Hill and Kim stood up and began to organize their clothes.

The three of them walked towards the dining area together, and as they passed by the soldiers' quarters, they saw quite a few people sorting things.

Apprehensively, they sat down in a corner of the dining area, an inconspicuous position that made it easy for them to observe the others.

"Jason, they're not here yet," Thompson looked around, and saw that there wasn't a single soldier nearby.

"Look at that," King pointed down the hallway to the other side, "it's Dr. Mario." ”

Mario and the Tampa Institute personnel were walking towards the dining area, and he and Martin were walking in the front, whispering something to each other.

"Shall we go over and sit with them?" Kim Chao Hill asked.

"Wait and see," Hill's gaze remained fixed on the scientists, "and if you rush over, you might cause others to resent it." ”

"Well, let's wait for a better opportunity." Thompson nodded, looking back.

"What are the crew members doing?" Kim suddenly thought of the group of people they had been forgotten about.

"I don't know, I rarely see them," Thompson said, "and I've only met them a few times in the gym." ”

"If you don't tell me, I've forgotten about them...... Hill said, "and they're as valuable as we are when they leave the plane." ”

"How can I increase my value here?" Hill's words made Kim fall into deep thought, and she began to realize that being a top student at Miami Law School would not help her much in the current environment, and Hill had begun to increase her importance in the base by approaching Jason, and it seemed that she had to find a way.

It was nearly 8 o'clock when Jason led his men to the dining area, where the crew had been seated moments before they arrived. Jason looked at it, counted it in his mind, and knew that everyone had arrived.

The soldiers began to take their seats in an orderly manner, and Jason stepped up to the stage, and the people who were talking quietly began to fall silent, and all eyes were on Jason.

"Guys, we've been here longer than planned," Jason said, looking at the people below, "Tampa didn't get back to us as scheduled, and judging from the time, I don't think they're going to be in a good situation." ”

There was a burst of discussion below, and some people began to talk to each other, many with anxious looks on their faces.

"Although the resource reserves of the base are still relatively sufficient, if the status quo continues, the progress of Dr. Mario's research will be seriously affected," Jason said, and exchanged his eyes with Mario, who motioned for Jason to continue.

"So I decided to take everybody from the base out of here and to New Orleans and Houston." Jason continued: "Tomorrow everyone has a full day off, each of us preparing what we are going to bring with us, and ...... the morning after tomorrow."

"I'm sorry Major, I had to interrupt you," it was Kevin, the co-pilot of the crew, who stood up to speak, "I don't understand, why would we risk leaving here when there is no shortage of supplies at the base?" Wouldn't the most appropriate option be for everyone to stay in this safe place and wait for the country to send troops to pick us up? ”

"Kevin, I understand your thoughts," said Jason, "old man, we've known each other since we flew back from Washington, and there's no doubt you're a great captain, but there are some things you don't seem to have figured out. ”

Jason looked at Kevin with a puzzled face and continued, "Our situation is that we are trapped here, although the supplies are still abundant, but it will always run out one day, and the entire Florida military force is in Tampa and here, only about one layer of the 5,000 soldiers at the Miami base arrived in Tampa alive. The problem now is that the connection between Tampa and us has been broken so far, and there are some things I don't want to mention, but I want us to face it. ”

"Will Warzenton sit idly by and ignore us?" Kevin said, "Dr. Mario, they're all here, and if we're the ones who can be given up, what about them?" Warzenton would not be willing to give up on them. ”

"Of course, Warzenton will not give up on them, nor will he give up on the rest of us, and it is my mission and that of the soldiers to protect each and every one of you." "The line from Orlando to Tampa is littered with tens of thousands of zombies, which is an area that no small force can pass through, and Warzenton can't send more people to help us. ”

"Why do we have to leave here when it's so dangerous out there?" Kevin asked, "Is the Ph.D.'s research more important than the lives of all of us?" ”

"Doctor, I'm not addressing you, on the contrary, I have great respect for you and your colleagues, but before thinking about the problem, I feel that life should be above all else." Kevin turned his head to Mario and explained, and Mario nodded slightly at him.

"I'll admit you're right, Kevin, life really should be above all else, and the lives of the majority of people should also be higher than the lives of a small number of people." Jason said to Kevin, "Even though I'm in this small group of people. ”
