Chapter 382 – Calling for Reinforcements
"What is the meaning of this?"
Jack was bandaging his back after someone helped him stop the bleeding. Now that the adrenaline had faded, his body screamed in pain. Even so, he was looking at Emma, waiting for her answer.
"The two major forces in this place are fighting for time…"
Regarding this matter, Jack did not think of hiding anything. They had successfully escaped the danger represented by leaving the beaver community. It did not matter if these kinds of things were said now. He slowly raised his hand and said a key word.
"The real mission I was assigned was to gather information and see if the communities here had a relationship with the CRM or the Fireflies. Now we not only know about the connection between these two organizations, but we also understand what they are looking for."
"I didn't understand it at first. Although the Fireflies' plan was to confront the CRM in order to restore the government before the end of the world began, perhaps they know the CRM, and because of that they protested the rules imposed by that organization. Many things must have happened for the Fireflies to attack so uncontrollably in that way."
Jack paused and said, "That old man was from the army, and right now there are two options that can exist in my mind. One, if the Fireflies attack Reginald's refuge in that way, it means he has some connection with the CRM, or on the other hand, he openly showed his interest in joining the Fireflies' rival organization."
"These days they have been lightly attacking the beaver community, and the main attack was today…"
Upon hearing that Jack had reached such a conjecture, everyone's faces were somewhat astonished.
"No one is trustworthy…"
A man beside his children frowned slightly and said, "So they just kill innocents because of their damn objective?"
"Basically that's how it is. Killing people and burning crops, their objectives or their way of reaching them are not good…"
"So what do we do?"
Regarding Emma's question, Jack also had an approximate answer in his heart and said, "Although I don't know what else we can do in our situation, what we will do is wait…"
"Right now there are two major forces fighting, it would not be convenient to go out until we know that we are all united…"
As he said that, Jack unconsciously touched his chest, wanting to take a sip from his small bottle of wine, but discovered that it was also empty.
Only then did he remember that when they searched him earlier, someone had taken it. He smiled bitterly and continued, "Although I don't even know if all of this they are doing is worth it, what I can say is that there is a serious problem that our people need to resolve as soon as possible."
"Also, you don't know what kind of big move both sides will make, so this time we have to interfere so that they don't reveal activity to the CRM… It is true that our organization is no longer afraid of someone like them, but the longer we remain silent, the better prepared we will be."
While speaking, Jack slowly raised his head and looked out the window. Listening to the noisy voices outside, he said, "We will be in trouble if they discover us. We barely have weapons to defend ourselves, and most of them are elderly people and children who escaped with us…"
Boom, boom, boom!
Just as Jack finished speaking, the roar of projectiles suddenly sounded from outside. The sound was not too loud and was obviously very far from them.
At that moment, they realized that the outside had become silent.
Several people stood up and went to the window, only to find that all the troops had left, and the direction was filled with smoke and gunfire. It was obvious that both sides had already begun to fight.
"Well, we won't be here by nightfall…"
Seeing that there was no one else outside, Jack raised his hand to check the time and suggested that it was better to leave as soon as possible.
"No matter what the surrounding area will look like, and we don't care about their affairs at this moment. Let's leave this place of good and evil as soon as possible."
"Yes…"
…
"Gentlemen, the captain is in trouble."
"This is the elite team in South Carolina, we are under a confusing situation so we need reinforcements!"
"Zz… Report on that confusing situation!"
"Listen, the captain is injured, and so is the second officer. We don't have absolute certainty, but two organizations are confronting each other. The first community is led by the group that attacked the scouting force some time ago, and the second group is the Fireflies."
A soldier who was waiting for a response said, "We need help to get out of here, we can't retreat any further…"
But at that moment, the convoy entered a silent street, and by the time the group realized it, several figures emerged from the darkness and opened fire.
Bang Bang Bang Bang!
Numerous bullets struck the armor of the Humvee the group was traveling in. In response, they returned fire, either with the machine gun on top or with shots from the windows.
"We're under fire, we need help!"
"The city is chaos, walkers will be drawn in by the thousands, and it will be a miracle if we manage to survive."
"Get us out of this damn place, we must move directly toward where the captain is!"
A soldier at the front shouted, "Laicon, you'd better keep your eyes open and have the necessary ammunition to eliminate dangerous objects!"
"That's a rocket launcher!"
"Watch out!"
Bang Bang Bang!
But before the people on the machine gun could open fire on the target, he pulled the trigger, and within a few seconds an explosion was heard in the surroundings.
Boom!
Fortunately, the missile hit the side of the road, shaking it slightly. In response, smoke grenades were launched so they could get out of this place as soon as possible.
"Send reinforcements as soon as possible, quickly!"
Bang Bang Bang!
…
Central Base.
At this moment, a meeting was being held to decide what to do about South Carolina.
At the same time, Jason, who was also in this place, watched attentively the images that the drone was transmitting to them.
"We are taking Alabama, we can't divert our forces to South Carolina!"
"It's right next to us, and those are thousands of lives that we must consider!"
"Don't talk to me in that tone, you know perfectly well what I am considering when I say these words!"
The situation was chaos. Jason watched all of this in silence and closed his eyes to think. Regardless of what these people said, the final decision would be made by him.
