One Thousand Four Hundred and Sixty-Nine 1 Waiting Opportunity
After leaving the laboratory, Carter and John did not hide the heavy look on their faces.
Although the reason for the heaviness was how to escape from Buha Island, in the eyes of outsiders who did not know the inside story, the two of them were worried about the attack of the Zerg people, which just fits the current chaos.
At this time, the sky was almost dark, and the sound of artillery in the distance was still there, and the flash of the explosion of shells could be vaguely seen.
Looking up, there was no moon in the sky, only stars. With their eyes level, the Zerg people gathered in twos and threes, looking into the distance.
John looked around, but did not see the person he was looking for. He frowned and circled around the open space slowly.
At present, only a few people knew about the escape plan, and most of the Zerg people were kept in the dark. If the plan was announced, how would these people react?
Agree?
Or oppose?
There were only about a hundred Zerg people on Buha Island. Although they were very united on weekdays, at this critical moment of life and death, would anyone betray this group?
These questions kept turning around in John's mind, and he gradually made up his mind. If he didn't move, he would not allow anyone to oppose or withdraw once he took action.
Unless he was dead!
John, who had made up his mind, felt relieved. Now, it depended on whether he could wait for the right time.
Thinking of this, John began to observe the position of the guards - just by hearing the sound of gunfire, he knew how fierce the battle outside Buha Island was, but the guards around the open space were not only not missing, but there were many more than usual, which showed how deeply the defenders were prepared against the Zerg.
John could understand this point. After all, the Zerg escaped from the aliens. It would be strange if Beidu had no concerns, but understanding was one thing, and whether he felt happy or not was another.
In the past, there was no way, and the defenders could only look at him like a prisoner, but today, everything will be different!
Carter suddenly stopped John who was wandering around and said in a low voice: "John, persuade everyone to go back and rest. If we keep waiting like this, when will it end?"
John turned his head to look at the sky, and the flashes of explosions came one after another: "Everyone is worried. Except for the heartless ones, who can rest at ease?"
There are some people who go back to the dormitory,
but only a very small number of them. Most people stay in the open space. Even if they can't get any news, they are unwilling to go back.
"We must go back!" Carter said, "We must let everyone save their energy. When we wait for the opportunity, we still need energy, right?"
John nodded immediately, clapped his hands and said loudly: "Everyone go back, it's okay, the aliens will definitely not be able to hit here, go back and rest."
The insects looked at John in a daze, their minds were a little confused, and many people couldn't help but look at Carter beside John.
John was respected as the leader by all the insects because he led everyone out of the control of the aliens. If it was two years ago when he first came to the island, no one would question John's orders.
But now things are a little different. Because of John's decision, all the Zerg people have been under house arrest in Beidu for more than two years. Among the more than 100 Zerg people, there are few who are not resentful.
In addition, the current status of the Zerg people was exchanged by Carter with various technologies. In the minds of many Zerg people, Carter's opinion is more important.
The reason why John first approached Carter was because he knew that Carter's prestige was no less than his own, and even exceeded it.
However, Carter was obsessed with technology and had no interest in management and other jobs. He was the easiest type of person to win over. There was no conflict of interest between the two, so John was not worried about Carter seizing power.
As expected by John, Carter immediately joined in and said, "John is right. This time it must be the same as before. There is nothing to see. Go back and rest."
After listening to Carter's words, the Zerg people present gradually dispersed. After a while, there was no trace of Zerg people on the open ground.
The guards in the distance finally breathed a sigh of relief and reported the situation to the headquarters.
The gathering of Zerg people originated from the alien attack. In essence, it is indeed justifiable, but this does not mean that the defenders relaxed their vigilance.
What if there are spies sent by aliens among the insects? What if some of them are controlled by aliens again? What if that happens?
In short, the supervision of the insects cannot be relaxed at any time.
Few of the insects who returned to the dormitory could rest in peace, and they still gathered in groups of three or two to whisper.
John really wanted to push them to bed to sleep, but he couldn't really do it, right?
The whole dormitory, only those guys who came from military backgrounds could ignore the sound of gunfire and fall asleep on the bed one by one... I don't know if they are really asleep or pretending to be asleep.
John would rather everyone pretend to sleep in bed than see them gossiping together.
Time passed very slowly, but every second was very firm. At about 22:00, Carlos, who looked tired, finally returned to the dormitory, and Phil came back with him.
John was refreshed and immediately called the two aside: "Why did you come back so late?"
Carlos said: "The headquarters was very chaotic. I waited a little longer and deliberately dawdled for a while. Phil heard a lot of news."
John was anxious, but had to suppress his emotions: "What news did you hear?"
Carlos looked at Phil: "You heard the news, or you tell me."
Phil smiled awkwardly: "You tell me, I don't know what they mean."
John urged impatiently: "Stop talking so much, it doesn't matter who says it, I just want to know the result, I don't care who says it!"
Carlos hurriedly said: "When I was at the headquarters, I heard on the radio that the battle was very fierce, the front couldn't hold on, and there were not many shells left. The current support artillery fire mainly came from two warships!"
"Warship?" John's expression became very solemn, "In which direction?"
Warships are definitely a big trouble. If they are intercepted by warships when escaping from Buha Island... the consequences will be disastrous!
"Not sure." Carlos said, "I heard that the situation is quite serious. I want to hear more later, but those damn guys drove me out. The other news was heard by Phil."
"What did Phil hear?" John looked at Carlos with anger in his eyes.
Carlos glanced at Phil: "He said that the headquarters ordered the troops in front to abandon their positions and shrink their defenses with the laboratory as the center!"
"Did they really say that? Did you hear it right?" John almost jumped up and grabbed Phil's shoulders.
If all the defenders shrink to the vicinity of the laboratory, it will be difficult to leave, but the shrinking process will definitely be accompanied by various chaos. Isn't this the opportunity he has been waiting for? () "Shell Frenzy" only represents the author Metal Crack's point of view. If you find that its content violates national laws, please delete it.
