Chapter 73: Video Call
Soon after.
"Listen Jack, things are bad here! Those people are not RDA, they control this place, and now..."
Snap!
The lights suddenly turned on in the dim room, illuminating a black scientist wearing a white lab coat and with fluffy and curly hair.
The sudden light startled him, and he hurriedly tried to turn off the video conversation, but no matter how he pressed the button, the video still showed no response.
Jack on the other side of the screen noticed something was wrong and asked nervously: "Max? How are you doing over there?"
Max had no time to reply, and his eyes did not stay on Jack's face, but looked at something outside the screen.
At the end of the corridor, four people appeared silently.
Two soldiers in camouflage Guardian suits, the woman who had stepped off the plane earlier, and a young man in a suit.
Two soldiers quickly rushed to Max, clasped his hands behind his back, and smashed his head on the table, making a heavy impact.
"ah!"
"Max!"
The video call was not cut off. Jack, who was in the mobile scientific research station, watched Max being pressed on the table but was unable to do anything. He could only look at Max with apologetic eyes.
"Sorry, Jack..." Even though half of his face was pressed on the table, Max still said vaguely to Jack on the other side: "I can't help you anymore, don't feel sorry for me, just keep doing what you think is right...
…”
"Humph! I've wanted to do this for a long time." Duncan walked slowly to the screen with a villain's smile, turned to Alice who kept a helpless smile and said, "We are like the villains in the movie now.
Right!"
"As long as you are happy."
Alice smiled and shook her head slightly, stood beside him, and completed her work as a bodyguard dutifully.
Jack, who was far away, saw this through a video call. His fists under the table turned red, and he stared at the man on the screen. He was almost certain that he was the manager behind the aircraft carrier in the sky, because he remembered Alice's appearance.
, this planet lacks nothing but beautiful human women.
Alice, who was wearing a tight-fitting combat uniform, even though she was wearing a half-face mask when she appeared, was still highly recognizable and could be remembered fondly by many people, including him.
"Don't hurt Max. I planned all of this. He...he just obeyed my orders."
"You are Jack, right?" Duncan seemed to have just discovered the video communication screen, showing a surprised expression, and then apologized: "I'm sorry... Once you do something wrong within some rules, you need to pay the corresponding price, otherwise you will
It seems that the law is very cheap. In fact, he and you should be convicted of treason and crimes against humanity. This is how the world is, please forgive me!"
After that, he waved his hand, and Max was escorted away by the soldiers.
Before leaving, Max was still comforting Jack, "Don't blame yourself, I won't blame you, say hello to Norman for me!"
"No problem, I'll say hello to him."
It was Duncan who said this. He pulled the chair next to him and sat in front of the video communication, looking at Jack with a smile.
Jack couldn't hold himself back, "What do you want? Kill the life on this planet like RDA did, and then loot all the valuable things?"
"Oh..." Duncan showed a sad expression, "Why do you think so? We are an umbrella company, not an RDA company. We will not do anything like massacre life on this planet. Don't think of us badly.
We just..."
Seizing the opportunity of Duncan's pause, Jack, filled with anger, began to taunt, "Just what? You just massacred two thousand lives during the day. The lies you talk about are so disgusting!"
"I'm thinking about how to resolve the conflict with the Na'vi people."
"Contradiction? I think you need to read the book again!"
The word "contradiction" seemed to ignite Jack's anger. What he got in exchange for more than two thousand lives was just a cold word "contradiction"?
"Shh...shh!" Duncan leaned back against the back of the chair, put the index finger of his left hand to his lips, and said: "You should listen to me politely, or you want to know how many weapons I have on my ship.
?”
"..."
The threat was very effective. The anger in Jack's heart was extinguished by the cold reality. The skin between his eyebrows and the bridge of his nose formed a long ravine. The corners of his mouth on both sides were pressed down to a slight arc. The muscles on his face were tense and trembling slightly, as if
A beast that is ready to explode and hurt people at any time.
"It's a pretty good expression..." Jack has a very gentle face. Most people can't imagine such a person being angry. Now that Duncan has seen it, it is indeed quite scary.
He stopped playing the villain role-playing game. He sat upright and said to Jack on the other side of the screen: "I read your profile before coming here. Because of your disability, you don't get a sense of recognition in human society. You are considered ordinary people."
People treat you as an alien. As time goes by, you admit that you are an alien, and you refuse help from others like a stubborn old man. Now, you have found a sense of identity from a real alien, and I can actually understand it."
Jack's chest across the camera is like a balloon that expands and shrinks, and his heavy breathing reaches Duncan through the microphone. It is obvious that his true emotions have been exposed and he doesn't know how to face them, so he turned into anger.
The rapid breathing slowly became calm again, and Jack became firm again and said: "No, it's different! It was only during the time I became a Na'vi that I saw the reality of this world. I will not let you turn Pandora into a
Another Earth."
"This world is chaotic and false, Jack." Duncan said: "If you can think of resistance, you are actually influenced by freedom for a long time, but your eyes only see the present. Even if there is no our umbrella company today, ten years later, RDA will only
They will bring more people and more advanced weapons to continue to turn Pandora into their mining farm. Are they stronger, the Na'vi people who started from scratch, or the RDA company, which has countless advanced technologies? Do you need me to explain to you?
?”
"So you want to use these words to make me give up?" Jack had already expected that Duncan would say such words, and Jack showed a sarcastic smile at the right time.
Duncan waved his hands carelessly: "I am just stating the facts, and then give you the multiple-choice question. The Umbrella Company will conceal what happened on Pandora, and the Umbrella Company will also provide the Na'vi with: education, medical care, roads, and...
...It’s safe. And what you have to do is very simple, live on or give up this planet and just don’t move.”
After listening to the last paragraph, Jack's expression was completely unbearable. This is not a multiple-choice question, this is obviously a true or false question!
"Sorry Jack... This universe is like this, the weak eat the strong, and the fittest survive. The Na'vi people will be beaten if they don't seek to make progress. They are actually very smart. If they are unwilling to change, they will become the fertile and weak tribes on the African continent.
, ignorant, backward.”
Duncan showed an apologetic expression. Pandora is really a very suitable planet for colonization. Not only the resources on this planet, but also the Alpha Centaur galaxy where Pandora is located have great development value.
Pandora is one of the 14 satellites of the planet Polyphemus. These 14 satellites are not far from Pandora. A large number of ores among them are very convenient to mine with the advent of space navigation technology. Even if they are not mined on Pandora, the fourteen
There are enough satellites for Umbrella Corporation to feed several Earths.
More importantly, there are no limits on Pandora. Ultron can mass-produce robots and Umbrella can mass-produce clones.
