Chapter 118:Controversy

"Notice that everyone is meeting in the dining area at 8 p.m.; notice that everyone is gathering in the dining area at 8 p.m."The radio in the base suddenly sounded, and everyone’s eyes were drawn to it.

“Hey Hill, Kim,” Thompson appeared at the door of Hill’s room, “hear the news on the radio?”

“Of course, we’re not deaf,” Hill said, seeing Thompson at the door, a little unhappy, the man who came to the door from time to time, Hill was trying to get close to Jason, and she didn’t want to be misunderstood about what went beyond friendship between her and Thompson.

“The notice broadcast at this time should not be simple, and I think something big could happen at the base,” Thompson said, completely ignoring the emotions that Hill exuded.His eyes fell on Hill’s, with a smile on his face.

“Are you going to come in and sit down, Thompson?”Kim looked at the man standing at the door, felt that it was impolite to turn him out, and invited him in.

"Thank you, Kim," said Thompson, moving past the chair next to him, sat down on the side of the Hill, and he looked outside the door and whispered, "I just walked around the West Side and saw that many of them were sorting out their outfits, what was the immediate action?"

Thompson's words surprised Hill and Kim, and they looked at each other, and then Hill looked at his wrist and said, "It's about an hour before eight o'clock, and whatever happens, we'll always know by that time."

“We don’t have a voice here, we can only walk behind them,” Thompson said, “and I wish I could stay in a stable sanctuary and wait for the world to recover.”This is behind the professional soldiers, and for us ordinary civilians, the future is really not very optimistic.”

“They can at least protect us, Thompson, and I don’t think you should complain, but you should be grateful to them,” Hill said. “We might have died on Route 106 hadn’t been met, and to be honest, I didn’t like the feeling of being buried under the sand.”

“Hill, you may have misunderstood me,” Thompson explained, “that our lives were saved, and it was safe to be with them, which I don’t deny, but I want to say the future.”After all, they have a mission to carry out, and our need is survival, you know, the military mission is inherently dangerous, not to mention in the current environment."

Thompson said, keeping Hill's face, and seeing that she did not continue to refute her words, his heart was a little relaxed.

"With them, if the location is now changed to outside, then they are not going to be able to fully protect the safety of our civilians when they are on mission," Thompson continued, "you think about it, we can't compare ourselves to their ability, whether in terms of physical fitness or tactical literacy, is our survival not very worrying if we are in a dangerous environment together?" 」

"Although you make a lot of sense, I still think it would be safer to stay with Jason."Hill remembered his previous encounter with Kim, and was psychologically more trustworthy with these soldiers.

"Well," said Thompson, somewhat disheartened, thinking that in the event of danger, he would be the first to come forward to protect Hill.

“Have you had dinner?”Kim asked.

"I've eaten," Thompson touched his stomach, "and I talked to a few soldiers while I was eating, but their mouths were very tight."

“If we get closer to the scientists, there’s nothing wrong with them,” Hill said confidently. “Jason’s mission is to protect these scientists, and we’re not on the list of people they’re protecting, so we can’t be too out of the group, and as long as we stay with the scientists, we’re just as safe as they are.”

“Well, you make sense,” Thompson nodded.

“Do you know about those scientists?”"They rarely go to the shooting training room, and they usually work in their own rooms or offices," Thompson said.

Hill and Kim shook their heads, and Thompson continued, "That Dr. Mario, as if he had won a Nobel Prize, I had some impressions on him."

“Really?”Kim and Hill asked in amazement.

"I've seen his story on TV, it should have been a few years ago."Thompson recalled carefully, "I remember him having done great things in physiology and medicine."

“There’s such a great cow around!”Kim and Hill lamented.

"It's not too late, we want to go to the dining area now and wait, maybe you can meet them, so we can talk."Thompson looked at the two girls in front of him, waiting for their opinion.

“Okay, let’s go now.”Hill and Kim stood up and began to sort out their costumes.

The three men walked together toward the dining area, and as they passed the soldiers' dormitory, they saw that many people were sorting things.

With a nervous mood, they came to a corner of the dining area and sat down, which was not very conspicuous, just so that they could observe other people.

“Jason, they’re not here yet,” Thompson looked around and found that there was not a single soldier nearby.

"Look there," said Kim, pointing down the corridor on the other side, "it's Dr. Mario."

Mario was walking toward the dining area with the people of the Tampa Institute, and he and Martin were at the front, talking in a whisper.

“Shall we go and sit with them?”Kim asked.

"Wait," Hill's gaze remained on the scientists, "and if it passes, it may arouse the disgust of others."

"Well, let's wait for a better chance."Thompson nodded and took his eyes back.

“What do the crew usually do?”Kim suddenly thought of the group who had been forgotten by them.

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

"If you don't, I've forgotten them all," said Hill, "and when you leave the plane, their value becomes as ordinary as ours."

“How can you increase your value here?”Hill's words made Kim in brood, she began to realize that in the current environment, the identity of a high-tech student in Miami Law School did not bring much help to herself, Hill has begun to improve her importance on the base by approaching Jason, it seems that she also has to think of a way.

As it approached 8 a.m., Jason brought his men into the dining area, where the crew was already sitting before their arrival.Jason looked at it and counted it in his heart, knowing that the man had arrived.

The soldiers began to sit down in an orderly manner, Jason stepped onto the stage, and the people who were whispering below began to quiet down, and everyone’s eyes were on Jason’s.

“Gentlemen, we have stayed here longer than planned,” Jason said, looking at the man below. “There was no response to our schedule, and I don’t think they were optimistic in time.”

Below began to sound a discussion, some people began to turn their ears, many people's faces with anxious looks.

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

"So I decided to take everyone at the base away from here and head to New Orleans and Houston."Jason continued: “Tomorrow everyone has a day off, each ready to take what they are going to carry with them, and the next morning...”

"I'm sorry Major, I have to interrupt you," said Kevin, the co-pilot of the crew member, standing up and talking, "I don't understand why we should risk leaving here, since there is no shortage of supplies at the base?"Is it not the best choice for everyone to stay in this safe place and wait for the country to send troops to pick us up?”

"Kevin, I understand what you think," Jason said. "Old chap., we got very good when we flew back from Washington, and you're no doubt a great captain, but there's something you still think about."

Jason looked at Kevin, who was puzzled, and continued, “Our situation is stuck here, and while supplies are still plentiful at the moment, it’s always running out of time, and the entire Florida military presence is in Tampa and here, with only a layer or so of the 5,000 soldiers at the Miami base, and only a layer or so of people who have arrived alive in Tampa.”The problem now is that the connection between Tampa and us has been at a break, and there are some things I don't want to say, but I hope we will face reality."

“Will Washingtonn sit back and ignore us?”Kevin said, “Dr. Mario is here, and if we’re going to say we can be abandoned, what about them?”Wharton would never and would never give up on them."

"Wantton will not abandon them, of course, nor will they abandon the rest of us, and it is the mission of me and the soldiers to protect each of you."Jason said, "Orlando to Tampa line, there are tens of thousands of zombies, this is a zone that no small force can cross, and Washingtonn can't send more people to help us."

“If it’s so dangerous out there, why should we get out of here?”Kevin asked, “Is the Doctor’s research more important than all of our lives?”

“I am not against you, Dr., but I have great respect for you and your colleagues, and I feel that life should be above all else before I think about it.”Kevin turned his head to explain to Mario, who nodded slightly to him.

"I'll admit you're right, Kevin, that life really should be above all else, and most people's lives should 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."
