"Not there, Mr. Captain," Jason immediately dismissed Matt's plan, "you know, you have to go through the whole city from here to Homestead. ”

"What?" Matt asked.

"The city is full of zombies, and if our convoy is trapped inside, there is only one way to die," Jason said solemnly, "I can't risk my brothers' lives." ”

"Excuse, you're making excuses for your cowardice," Matt's emotions were a little agitated after seeing his plan rejected, "Major, can you just sit back and watch our purser's condition get worse?" ”

"My responsibility includes the safety of everyone here," Jason said, "and it's not just the purser. ”

"Whatever the situation, I have to choose the safest direction for our fleet." Jason continued, "I hope you understand. ”

"Is there no other way?" Matt was still a little unwilling, and he pleaded, "Think of a way, Major." ”

"So far," Jason said helplessly, sighing and looking outside at the rain.

"If it doesn't work, let's go back to base," Matt made a final struggle, Jennifer had worked with her for many years, and the relationship between the two was so good that he couldn't bear to watch Jennifer fall ill on the way.

"Matt, I can accept that the trip will be delayed slightly, but I can't let this go for naught," Jason said to Matt sincerely, "and we have no way back, can we?" ”

"Then you need to come up with an idea, Major," Matt's voice suddenly raised, and Jason's words made his mood change from disappointment to anxiety and then slightly angry, "Didn't you say you were responsible for everyone?" Jennifer is one of them all. ”

Matt's voice alarmed the others nearby, and some of the closest ones began to look at him in surprise.

"Whatever we're going to do next, we're going to have to wait for the rain to stop," Jason said, "and I don't think our convoy can get very far in this weather." ”

"You made the plan, and you chose the date of departure," Matt lowered his voice, but still couldn't hide the anger on his face, "but we are the ones who bear the impact of these factors. ”

Matt turned away angrily, leaving Jason alone.

"Major, what's wrong with him, Captain?" After Matt left, Dr. Mario walked over, looking at the silent Jason and asking with concern.

"Matt, he's worried about Jennifer's condition and asks us to return to base," Jason spread his hands, "It's not as simple as he thought, you know, there's no turning back when you open your bow." ”

"They're flying in the sky most of the time, and it's understandable that they don't know what's going on on the ground," Dr. Mario said, "and if it's me or Martin who is sick at the moment, I wouldn't be going to go back to base, and Martin wouldn't be either." ”

"You're looking far farther than Matt," Jason pulled out his cigarette case, took a cigarette out of it and put it in his mouth, "Our way out is only in Fort Myers, or we'll be trapped in Florida." ”

"And Fort Myers has to have a ship," Dr. Mario said with a smile and looking at Jason.

"If there's a boat, everyone can escape," Jason took a puff as he lit his cigarette with a lighter, "Doctor, what are we going to do if we don't find a boat at Fort Myers?" ”

"I don't know," said Dr. Mario, "but there must be a way before the car reaches the mountain." ”

"Alright," Jason looked helpless, "Doctor, you've been here when you're younger, and do you know all about the infrastructure of Everglades Park?" ”

"For example, where in this area there are hospitals?" Jason remembered that when the Doctor came to him to discuss a plan of action, he had mentioned his own experience here when he was younger.

"It's been many years, and I was doing scientific research here at that time, and it was still very desolate and the conditions were very difficult." Dr. Mario recalled, shaking his head.

"But you can ask other people," Dr. Mario said, "especially if you're in Florida for a long time, and they'll probably have information you want to know." ”

"Good idea, Doctor," Jason nodded, "I'll go ask everyone else after I'm done with this cigarette." ”

"Well, then I'll go and rest for a while, the rain doesn't seem to stop for a while," said Dr. Mario, "you don't have a plan to travel in the rain, do you?" ”

"We'll go back when the rain stops, go get some rest, Doctor." Jason threw the cigarette butt in his hand into the rain curtain, and the cigarette butt fell into the stagnant water on the ground outside, making an inaudible "z" sound, and the residual flame of the cigarette butt was instantly extinguished by the rain.

"Mario, it seems that the captain and the major had an argument just now," Dr. Mario asked as he returned to his seat.

"It's not a big deal," Dr. Mario said as he stared at the fire in front of him, "Mr. Captain is worried about Jennifer's condition and wants Jason to take everyone back to the base first." ”

"Is he crazy?" Dr. Martin put down the skewer in his hand and stared at Mario's side face, "The Major didn't promise him, did he?" ”

"Jason is a good officer," Dr. Mario said, "and he sees the big picture much more than the captain." ”

"Then I'm relieved," Dr. Martin breathed a sigh of relief, she took a sip of her coffee, and went on to ask, "Jennifer's condition doesn't seem to be improving, is there anything we can do about it?" ”

"If the medicine doesn't work, then the only thing we can do is to do infusion therapy, but we don't have infusion equipment right now," Dr. Mario suddenly raised his head and looked at the others around the fire, "Which of you is more familiar with the Everglades, is there a hospital near here?" ”

"Hospital?" Kim thought for a moment, "The nearest hospital is probably the city hospital in Homestead." ”

"Are there any other places where there are hospitals? Jason asked me about this, but the last time I was here was decades ago. "It was very desolate and we only had crocodiles. ”

"There's another, but it's a little far away," King said, "and there's a hospital at the Flamingo Visitor Center, and it's the only one in the entire Everglades, and it's a hospital that's dedicated to tourists, and it's more medically equipped." ”

"How far is it?" Dr. Martin asked.

"More than 30 miles, (about 50 kilometers)," Kim mentally estimated, "the Flamingo Visitor Center is about the southernmost point of the Everglades, right at the end of Route 9336. ”

"Really? Looks like I'm going to talk to Jason right away," Dr. Mario stood up, and he beckoned to Kim, "You go with me, give the Major a briefing on the Flamingo Visitor Center, and see how he arranges the plan." ”

"We'd be happy to help you," Kim also stood up and followed Dr. Mario to Jason.

"I'll go too," Hill hurriedly followed, hearing that he was going to find Jason.

"Major, I've brought someone here, she should have the information you want here," Dr. Mario found Jason and brought Kim and Ciel behind him to him, "Oh no, I brought two people here." ”

"Ciel, Kim?" Jason saw the Doctor, who was supposed to go back to rest, turn back again, and knew that he should have new news. However, Jason was still a little surprised to see the two girls brought by the doctor.

Hill beckoned to Jason and stuck out his little tongue mischievously.

"Kim knows where the hospital is in Everglades Park," Dr. Mario pointed at King, "and you'll have to ask her for details." ”

"Tell me what you know," Jason was a little excited, he had just mentioned the hospital to the doctor, but he didn't expect the doctor to immediately find someone who knew about the situation.

"Yes, Major," Kim nodded, "the hospital in Homestead is the closest to us, but it's the city. ”

"Well, I know the hospital there, and it's because it's in the city that I gave up my plan to go there," Jason motioned for Kim to continue.

"And there's the only hospital in Everglades Park," King said, "and it's at the Flamingo Visitor Center at the southernmost end of the Everglades, and if we're going there, we just have to walk down Highway 9336." ”

Jason took a map, pointed to a location on it and asked, "Is this it?" ”

"Yes, I've been there before," King said, pointing to the location on the map, "it's the estuary where the river flows into the Gulf of Florida, and there's a big campground to the left of it. ”

"How's the hospital equipment there?" Jason continued.

"It's good, you can do a lot of surgery." Kim carefully recalled, "There was also a small pier at the Flamingo Visitor Center. ”

"Really?" When Jason heard the word "dock", his eyes lit up, "Are there many boats on the dock?" ”

"When there are many tourists, there are many," Kim saw Jason's expression and knew what he was thinking, so he quickly explained, "But the boats are not large, they carry very few people, and they are mainly inland boats." ”

"That's right......," Jason was a little disappointed, if only the Flamingo Visitor Center could find a boat large enough to go to sea, because according to the previously planned route, they were going north to Fort Myers, the distance was almost ten times more than that of going to the Flamingo Visitor Center, and it was much more dangerous.

But when you think about it, Jason is also a little relieved, the largest port in southwest Florida from their departure base is Fort Myers, and the small Flamingo Visitor Center is just a tourist area, where it is almost impossible to find large ships that can go to sea.
