"The order I received was to keep them safe," Jason continued, "and the purpose of keeping them safe was to provide them with a stable research environment where their research results could be used to save our country and our people and save the world." There are millions of Americans out there waiting for a miracle, and the miracle will be created by the Wise Doctor. ”

"Now that the area between Orlando and Tampa has blocked our way out, and we don't have planes, how do we get out of Cape Florida?" Captain Matt said that the crew had just whispered to each other below, and basically agreed to stay at the base and maintain the status quo and wait for the rescue of Warzenton.

"Mr. Matt, that's exactly what I'm going to say next," Jason coughed to make his throat a little more comfortable, "our plan is to take the Fort Myers route, find the boat there, and cross Appalachian Bay, where we don't have to fear anything but wind and waves. ”

"With all due respect, Major," said Matt, "the distance from here to Fort Myers is nearly 200 kilometers in a straight line, and the whole of the Everglades is traversed, and the distance is more than 400 kilometers if you take the road, and the probability of danger along the way is very high. ”

"Mr. Captain, we share your concerns," Dr. Mario said abruptly, "but staying at the base, we will have to deal with the problem of leaving sooner or later, and now that we can't access the satellite lines on the Warzenton side, it is obviously not wise to wait for their rescue." Since we have to leave sooner or later, I think, as Major Jason said, leaving when we are at our best, so that each of us has a better chance of surviving, and New Orleans and Houston have our institutes and troops guarding there. Whether it is the size of the number of people or the material reserves, it is incomparable here, and when we get there, don't we have a better chance of survival? ”

"Why are you so sure we'll make it to New Orleans and Houston alive? Doctor," Matt asked, "the only way to cross Appalachian Bay is if we can find the right boat, and if we get to Fort Myers and we don't have the ship we want, then we're in a dangerous position, and Fort Myers doesn't have a military base like this as a fortress for us to hide in." ”

"Yes, Doctor," Matt is right, "I'd rather accept the visible future than the unknown" The crew members echoed Matt's words, all of them thinking the same as Matt and not approving of leaving the base.

"As I said, the end result of staying here is also to leave, and instead of waiting until the supplies run out and then being forced to move, it is better to start preparing these things now and go to a safer place." Mario said to the crew, looking a little tired, and after talking to Jason in the afternoon, he had a long conversation with Martin, which was already a bit lacking in energy.

"If they all died, it would be nice to die a day later," said a member of the crew, who looked at the reactions of others around him, some nodding and others shaking their heads.

"I agree with the Doctor," Hill said, "I have read in a book an old saying from the East, that if a man has no foresight, he must have immediate worries, and that the Doctor has not only himself in mind, but all of us, and all of us in America. If you think about it, if everyone outside has turned into monsters, then what's the point of us living inside the base? If civilization cannot be restored and the world cannot be saved, then what will the survivors struggle for, it is better to get rid of it as soon as possible, and they can suffer less torture. ”

Jason's eyes began to change slightly as he looked at Ciel, and both Mario and Martin looked at Ciel, slightly surprised by her speech.

"Wouldn't it be better to live one more day, little girl," said Madam Jennifer, purser, following Hill's words.

"If there's nothing left of torment left to live, and you still think you've earned it, then there's nothing I can say," Hill said, making a helpless expression.

Jennifer was slightly angry at Hill's confrontation, but her years of professionalism had always kept a dignified smile on her face, and she had a trace of contempt for Hill and her little girls before, and she didn't pay much attention to their existence.

"Guys," Jason raised his voice a bit, "this plan has been decided after I have consulted with my soldiers, and I have come to inform you not to discuss with you, but to inform you of this decision. ”

There were some protests below, and Jason ignored the emotional crew members, and he continued, "If there are people who don't want to leave together, I'll leave them plenty of food and weapons inside the base, and I'll wish them the best of luck." In addition, I would like to tell everyone who is willing to follow us to leave, please pack your bags, take your trust in us, and we will go side by side on the road together. I'll repeat the planned route, we'll cross the entire Everglades Park to Fort Myers, it's not as easy as the road, but it's far away from the zombies, and the safety of our people is better guaranteed. ”

"It turns out that what is going to happen in the base is to move everyone around," Thompson whispered, "and it shouldn't be easy to cross the entire Everglades." ”

"Well, I've been there," King said, "but most of the time I was on a hovercraft, a swampy environment where the main threats are mosquitoes and wildlife." ”

"It's so much better than the zombies you see everywhere," Hill said, "and it's like a trip." ”

"It's going to be a tough trip," Thompson lamented, coming from Texas, where the geography is mostly desert, so he's not very comfortable with the humid climate of the southeast, and this is the first time he's faced with this kind of swamp environment.

"Be sure to keep up with the big army, and don't leave anything behind," King told Thompson and Hill, "There are a lot of American crocodiles in the Everglades, and the largest I've ever seen is more than five meters long. ”

"Matt, we should protest," Jennifer said to the captain sitting next to her, "and what the Major just said shows that they have completely ignored our proposal, which is very undemocratic." ”

"If everyone here had a vote, do you think we would have a better chance of winning?" Matt asked rhetorically, and his words made Jennifer speechless for a moment.

"But he can't ignore that there are so many people here who don't want to go on adventures with them," Kevin was a little unconvinced, "Does he think that keeping some food and weapons is enough to protect us?" ”

"Why are these big-headed soldiers so arrogant," Kevin looked at Jason's departing back, his eyes tinged with some anger.

"Have you all decided to stay?" Matt asked his colleagues next to him.

The crew members were silent, and the insistence just now was no longer visible on their faces, Matt sighed and said: "Then when we go back, we should hurry up and organize our things, bring all the belongings with us, and don't leave anything behind, because maybe they will save our lives at some point." ”

"Hopefully, as the Major said, he will take us safely to New Orleans and Houston, or I will have to go court-martialed against him." Jennifer said.

"Is this institution still there?" Matt looked up at Jennifer.

Jennifer gave him a blank look, throwing him a "just talk a lot" look.

"Dr. Mario, I'm Hill," Hill said to Dr. Mario, "I hope to contribute to your research projects in the future, you know, my friends and I can't help with a lot of things at the base, but we don't want to be idle. Everybody is trying, and we don't want to be here as a spectator. ”

"I'm glad you think so, beautiful young lady," said Mario, "your wish is not difficult to fulfill, because of the disaster, we have lost many companions, so there are many vacancies in the hands of people, I am sure that you will find your place in these vacancies, nothing else matters, the only thing you need is that you have this heart." ”

"Thank you very much, Doctor," said Hill, happily, "I am truly blessed to have met you, and I hope to be around you to witness some miracles. ”

"You will," Martin said with a smile, "what's your name?" ”

"My name is Hill, the girl over there is called Kim, and we're students at the University of Miami Law School." Hill pointed to King and Thompson and said, "And Thompson, who is from Texas and is the partner we met on the road. ”

"Talk to us more, we need the help of all those who care," Martin held out his hand to Hill, and the two hands were clasped together, and Hill felt that he was holding hope in his hand.

"Jason is a very manly man," Martin said suddenly, "Ciel, you really have a good eye. ”

Martin's words made Hill's face flush, and she had a girlish look on her face.

"I'm just ......" Hill tried to explain something, but for a moment she couldn't find the right words.

"No need to explain," Martin stroked Ciel's long blonde hair with his hand, "It's normal to do whatever you want, and a woman who doesn't pursue is the one who needs to be sympathized." ”

"Thank you, Dr. Martin," Hill nodded.

"We'll go back first, and you'll go back early with your companions, and remember to put your things in order," Martin said, "and the Everglades aren't as comfortable as we thought they would be, and it's going to be an unusual trip." ”

Hill returned to her place, and both Kim and Thompson looked at her curiously.

"What were you talking about?" Thompson asked.

"Dr. Mario has agreed to let us join them in their research project," Hill excitedly said to his friends, "and I don't know what we need to do with them yet, but we finally got them to notice us, and this is the first step in our success." ”

"God, that's a great job," Thompson said happily, "and the thought of me being able to stand next to Nobel laureates and be part of their research projects makes me feel like the lights are on me all over Hollywood." Thank you for giving me this opportunity, Hill. ”

"Lady luck has always been on our side, hasn't she?" Hill was overjoyed, and a bold idea was brewing in her mind.

"Of course, without her patronage, we wouldn't be where we are today," Kim hugged Hill, overflowing with joy.

"You guys go back and get your things in order first, I'll be back later," Hill said, smiling mysteriously at Kim.

"Are you going to the doctor?" Thompson asked.

"It's a woman's secret," said Ciel, "and you go back and wait for me." ”

"Alright then, come back early," King nodded, and stood up with Thompson, and the two headed back.

After Kim and Thompson's backs disappeared into the hallway, Hill walked in the other direction.

Jason lay in his room and looked at the map in his hand, constantly planning some details of the route. The door to the room was gently pushed open, and he looked towards the door.

"Ciel, why are you here?" Jason was a little surprised, he didn't expect Hill to come to him at this time.

"Jason, please don't reject me again, okay?" "Let's cherish our last days here," said Hilchuchu, pitifully. ”
