Leaving the laboratory, Carter and John did not hide the heaviness on their faces at all.
Although the heavy reason was how to escape Buha Island, in the eyes of outsiders who didn't know what was going on, the two of them were worried about the insect attack, which was exactly in line with the current chaos.
At this time, the sky was almost dark, the sound of cannons in the distance was still there, and the flash of exploding artillery shells could still be seen faintly.
Looking up, there is no moon in the sky, only stars. Keeping your sight level, the insects gather together in twos and threes and look into the distance.
John glanced around but didn't see the person he was looking for. He frowned and walked leisurely around the open space.
At present, only a few people know about the escape plan, and the vast majority of the buggers are kept in the dark. If the plan is announced, how will these people react?
Agree?
Or object?
There are only about a hundred bugs on Buha Island. Although they are very united on weekdays, at this critical moment of life and death, will anyone betray this group?
These questions kept turning around in John's mind, and he gradually made up his mind not to move. Once he started taking action, he would not allow anyone to object or withdraw.
Unless it’s a dead person!
Having made up his mind, John felt relieved. Now, it depends on whether he can wait for the opportunity.
Thinking of this, John began to observe the position of the guards - just by listening to the sound of gunfire, he knew how fierce the battle outside Buha Island was. However, not only were there not a single guard around the open space, but there were many more than usual. It was obvious that the guards were
The military's defenses against the Insects are deep.
John could understand this. After all, the insect-men escaped from aliens. It was strange that Bei Yang had no worries. But understanding was one thing, and whether he felt pain or not was another matter.
In the past, there was no choice but to be watched like a prisoner by the defenders, but today, everything will be different!
Carter suddenly stopped John who was wandering around and lowered his voice: "John, I would like to advise everyone to go back and have a rest. If we continue to wait like this, when will it be the end?"
John turned 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 peacefully?"
It's not that there are no people who have returned to the dormitory, but only a very small number. The vast majority of people stay in the open space, unwilling to go back even if they can't get any news.
"We must go back!" Carter said, "Everyone must conserve their physical strength. When the opportunity comes, you still have to have physical strength, right?"
John immediately nodded, clapped his hands and said loudly: "Everyone, please go back. It's okay. The aliens will definitely not be able to hit here. Everyone, please go back and rest."
The bugs looked at John blankly, their minds a little confused, and many of them couldn't help but look at Carter beside John.
John is respected as the leader by all the bug people because he led everyone to escape from the control of aliens. If it had been two years ago when he first arrived on the island, no one would have questioned John's order.
But things are different now. Because of John's decision, all the bugs have been under house arrest in Beidu for more than two years. There are not a few bugs among the more than a hundred who are not resentful.
In addition, Carter used various technologies to gain the current status of the Insects. In the minds of many Insects, Carter's opinions are even more important.
The reason why John approached Carter first was because he knew that Carter's prestige was no less than his own, or even more so.
However, Carter is obsessed with technology and has no interest in management or other work. He is the easiest type of person to win over. There is no conflict of interest between the two, so John is not worried at all about Carter seizing power.
As expected, Carter immediately helped: "John is right, this time it must be the same as before. There is nothing interesting to see. Let's go back and rest."
After listening to Carter's words, the bug-men present gradually dispersed, and after a while, the shadow of the bug-man was no longer visible in the open space.
The guard in the distance finally breathed a sigh of relief and reported the situation to the headquarters.
The gathering of bugs originated from alien attacks, which is indeed excusable in essence, but this does not mean that the defenders relax their vigilance.
What if there is a traitor sent by aliens among the bug people? What if some of them are controlled by aliens again? What if?
In short, the supervision of the bugs cannot be relaxed at any time.
Few buggers who returned to the dormitory could rest peacefully, and they still gathered together in twos and threes and muttered.
John really wanted to put them on the bed and sleep, but he couldn't really do it, could he?
In the entire dormitory, those guys with military backgrounds could ignore the sound of gunfire and fell asleep on the bed one by one... I don't know whether they were really asleep or pretending to be asleep.
John would rather everyone pretend to be asleep in bed than see them gossiping together.
Time passed very slowly, but every second was very determined. At around 22 o'clock, Carlos, who looked tired, finally returned to the dormitory, and Phil came back with him.
John's spirits were lifted and he immediately called the two of them aside: "Why did you come back?"
Carlos said: "The headquarters was very chaotic. I waited for a while and deliberately delayed for a while. Phil heard a lot of news."
John was anxious, but he had to suppress his emotions: "What news did you hear?"
Carlos looked at Phil: "You heard the news, it's up to you to tell it."
Phil smiled awkwardly: "You better tell me, I don't even know what they mean."
John urged impatiently: "Stop nagging, either of you can say it. I just want to know the result, and I don't care who says it!"
Carlos quickly said: "When I was at the headquarters, I heard on the radio that the battle was very fierce. The front could no longer withstand it and there were not many shells left. The supporting artillery fire now mainly comes from two warships!"
"Battleship?" 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!
"I don't know." Carlos said, "I heard that the situation was quite serious. I wanted to hear more about it later, but those damn guys kicked me out. The rest of the news was from 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!"
"They really said that? Did you hear that 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 all kinds of chaos. Isn't this the opportunity he has been waiting for?
So what, "ourfeng" guessed it correctly, there are indeed many scenes behind the insect man...
