Chapter 50 Arrangement

The division of labor between the two sides was orderly, and Caitlin directed the other three to prepare the equipment, play the video, and display the documents.

On the other hand, Ruby took advantage of being a child herself, and she called on the women and children in the place where she lived. Let them convince their relatives and friends to lay down their arms for a while and listen to the facts that will be announced.

Nadia hid under Jiang Ke's arrangement, waiting for the next time she would show her face.

Victor's direct troops are not weak, and they are relatively more stubborn, but due to the weakness of the situation, they have to stop the attack at this time, follow the tide, and give up for the time being.

After gathering everyone in the playground of the command building, through old-fashioned playback equipment and speeches, Ruby even took the stage to give an emotional speech, letting everyone know the truth.

The ensuing events went relatively smoothly, and when Ruby's provocative speech was combined with Catelyn's announcement in front of the public, the camp was divided into three factions.

On the one hand, there are extreme blind believers, who are few in number, but who act in extreme ways. They believe that everything Alita and Victor do is necessary, and that everyone should sacrifice themselves unconditionally in the face of human existence. They rebelled and tried to regain control of the camp.

The other part is the awakened people, who believe that in the last days, mankind should work together to tide over the difficulties, and not experiment with the people who are alive now for the sake of selfish desires or the revival of mankind. They know that if they don't stop it now, let it go. The next ones to be taken away for experiments could be their children, their partners, or even themselves. This part of the people actively cooperated with Jiang Ke and others to suppress extremist believers and blessed people.

The last small group are the despairing negators, for whom it doesn't matter who is in charge of the camp, as long as they live, they have no ambition, no hope, just to survive.

When the last fanatic was locked up, the crowd finally got a moment of respite.

Leaning against the wall, Jackson asked, "Can I know what time it is?" It felt like I was going through a French Revolution. ”

Caitlin sat on a pier and glanced at her watch, "Three in the morning." ”

Jackson nodded, turned and left, "I'll take a look at Ben, I'll trouble you here." ”

Ruby finally found Andrew, and she took Andrew to join Jiang Ke. She happened to see Jackson's departure at the door, and she looked back and asked, "What's wrong with him?" Something doesn't look right. ”

Caitlin gave Ruby a smile, "He's just tired...... We're all tired......"

Ruby looked at Caitlyn suspiciously, "Uh-huh......", she hesitated, but chose to turn and follow Jackson.

Jackson came to Ben's resting room.

Ben was covered in bandages, and due to the lack of medical supplies, he was only treated simply at the moment, and then he had to resign himself to fate.

The severe injury made his whole body swollen, and one eye was so swollen that he could not open it.

The door opened, and Jackson walked in.

Ben opened his mouth, and the puffiness made his tongue less flexible, "Yo...... Come and see, isn't this my old buddy Jackson? ”

Jackson smiled reluctantly and shook the cigarette in his hand.

Ben's eyes widened and he shouted, "I love you!" Come and order a ...... for Ben."

Ben, with Jackson's help, sat side by side against the wall, one on the bed and the other on a stool, facing the window.

Smoke filled the air over the room.

Jackson was the first to speak, "Do you think we made the right choice?" ”

Ben: "Do you mean leaving Jenny?" ”

Jackson gently patted Ben's broken ribs, and Ben shivered in pain.

Ben: "OK...... OK…… No kidding...... Do you regret it? ”

Jackson, "No, I never regret it. I just listened to what Victor said, and I was a little confused...... What we have done in the past will have its value. ”

Ben lit a second cigarette, "To put it simply, philosopher. ”

Jackson glanced at Ben, "Let's say, I shoot in order to take out my enemies, I use knives, I swing my fists. In order to make money, I steal, rob, and sell drugs. At least that's what I'm trying to do. But now, in order to save a nest of "ants", the "ants" want to get salvation by pleasing "people". I can't figure out how I can do it. ”

Ben took two puffs, "That sounds exciting." ”

Jackson looked at the ceiling, "What did you say?" ”

Ben: "Don't you think it's fun?" ”

Jackson nodded noncommittally, "Indeed." ”

Ben: "Can there be a second chance like this in my life?" ”

Jackson: "No. ”

Ben: "Isn't that enough?" ”

Jackson was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "I love you." ”

Ruby stood outside the door, listening to the conversation between the two, and retracted his hand to open the door.

On the other side, Jiang Ke and Caitlin came to the command building, Victor's office.

Caitlin quickly flipped through Victor's papers, "Judging by this order, Alita has placed a big order. A total of 10 people are needed, which is really providential, I will arrange a few people and pretend to be the "goods" this time. When the time comes to attach Nadia, they will not be suspicious. ”

Outside the room, a small group of people walked in quickly, and the leader came to Caitlyn and Jiang Ke, and he vaguely heard the words to prepare a few people.

Caitlin noticed someone coming in and got up to introduce Jiang Ke, "This is Mike, one of my informants, thanks to him, we were able to rescue you for the first time." ”

Mike was the guard at the time, and he wittily lured Victor and his cronies away. At this moment, he still has a wound on his face, I don't know if he suffered from the crackdown just now, or if he was punished by Victor.

Jiang Ke smiled at him friendly, "Thank you, my name is Jiang Ke." ”

Mike looked at Jiang Ke, "I really didn't expect that Caitlin's friend was actually an Asian, and he was so capable of fighting." ”

Caitlyn reached out and nudged him, smiling, "No kidding, there must be something else going on here." ”

Mike looked at Caitlyn and replied with a serious face, "Yes, although we suppressed this riot, uneasiness and panic engulfed the entire camp, and it was thought that without supplies from Alita, the camp would not last more than a week. And the environment is getting worse and worse......"

Mike was telling the truth, the days were shortening, the temperature was dropping rapidly, there was little food to be found in the natural environment, and without Alita's supplies, the camp was in danger.

Mike stopped talking.

Caitlin, "What's the matter, let's talk about it." ”

Mike, "an extremely pessimistic person, has developed the idea of exchanging people for food. They want us to hand over this room so that they can contact Alita for negotiations. ”

Caitlin slapped the table angrily, "What a fool who can't learn smart! The bottom line of humanity can always break through our imagination. How long will the current supplies last? ”

Mike: "Up to 3 days. ”

Caitlyn sighed and said slowly, "In a few hours, Alita's supplies will arrive, and then we will hijack and destroy their facilities, and if we succeed, we will move everyone from the camp." The anxiety can be dissolved. ”

Mike was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "I see, I'll find a way to calm my emotions, I wish you all the best." ”

After Mike left, Jackson and Ruby walked in, "Almost, huh?" ”

Caitlin: "yes, we need seven more volunteers. And not ordinary volunteers. ”

Ben frowned and staggered in under Catelyn's startled gaze, "7?" Did I hear me wrong? Could it be that I was left out? ”

Caitlyn looked at his injured appearance and hesitated, "But ......"

Ruby, "And me!" ”

At this time, Mike also turned back, he stepped forward, and said, "You saved us at that time, you are welcome, you can dispatch this life at any time." ”

Caitlin: "But ......"

Jiang Ke walked up to Caitlyn, he looked around and said, "Mike, you have to stay, your leadership will help stabilize the camp." Ruby can go, she has mastered the technique, and the right age will add to her credibility. As for Ben......" He paused, looking at Ben with barely visible appearance.

Ben: "If you don't say a word, I'll kill your leg right now." ”

Jiang Ke nodded, "Then I still need five people with military experience." ”
