All this time, Jason was only looking for seconds. Ever since he arrived in the vicinity of the stadium where the Fireflies' base was located, the drones in the sky were scanning all the land of South Carolina.
Sam, who was at the base, had created a large meeting where a full-scale invasion was being planned, where the main objective would be to take the bases that were here in a short amount of time.
This invasion would be much more aggressive and effective, where it would not matter how many people they had to kill, but how many they would place under care.
The Fireflies are a problem, terrorists who could easily turn against them if they find out that they have also altered the system to make surviving less problematic.
Not everyone can understand the rules of the new world, but it is necessary that at least they put plans into motion where people's productivity is always at its maximum.
Jason was looking for time, and once everything was in its place he would take South Carolina as his new extension of domain. Of course it would be difficult, but with the people who live in this city it would be enough to create stability.
Therefore, George made the decision to negotiate with the Fireflies by posing as other people, a large group of survivors.
At this point the Fireflies did not know if they had really attacked their people, so no one could act recklessly now because they did not want to enter into a flashy war.
Their base was exposed, so the Fireflies did not want to draw the attention of the CRM right now, otherwise they would be destroyed.
…
The Fireflies searched in vain for a cure to counter the Wildfire virus. Morale within the organization fell as vaccination trials continued to fail and the CRM military began to hunt them.
Eventually they established their main research laboratory at the University in South Carolina, some time after a group of students had left or died.
While they were there, they set up a guard post in a stadium to keep a record of who and what entered and to monitor the outskirts of the area while they installed their main research laboratory in the Science building.
But this was simply happening everywhere. According to Joel's words, his missing brother Timmy visited a laboratory when he was a Firefly, and at that time everyone believed they were the future of humanity.
But things were fulfilled when Joel had discovered Ellie, who in a short time made him remember his daughter. He had found her in a shopping mall very close to a CRM outpost; by then she had been bitten and beside her there was the corpse of a dark-skinned girl.
Joel wanted to kill her, but when he asked Ellie how long she had been bitten, she answered that it had been many days. The scar on Ellie's arm had healed, but she never turned into a walker.
After a long time, Joel contacted his brother to devise a plan and be able to find a cure if there was a possibility. By the time they discovered that there was someone immune to the virus, there were many people in the shadows who did not agree with the existence of someone immune.
By the time Joel arrived at the Fireflies' base in Texas, it was said that if the truth was that she was immune, making a cure could be considered. But somehow Joel and his brother Tommy were framed, though some people at the Fireflies' base opposed that.
As soon as a division of power existed, the battle broke out and since then Joel had been separated from his brother. But both agreed to come to South Carolina to find a Fireflies' base where they could make a cure.
It was then that at that moment an internal infection broke out, turning people into walkers. Many of those who fled labeled the Miller brothers as ruthless killers, not knowing that they were only victims of selfishness.
The leader of that Fireflies settlement gave Joel the task of taking Ellie to South Carolina, but they were separated when they ran into some thieves. Upon arriving at the Fireflies' base, he discovered that Ellie was in that place, but he could not show interest since he did not know the Fireflies of this place.
After some time, he came to the conclusion that he did not want to associate with any person from this place and was only looking for a way to leave and get Ellie out of that place in order to then look for his brother.
...
Jason knew that Joel had his complications and understood that for him it was important to lie to him, so he did not take it too much into account. But if there was something to take into account, it would be the story about Ellie; if she is immune, everything that would happen from now on was important for the future of humanity.
He had heard that new scientists had joined the research, some new talents like Sheldon, who in a short time proved to have great skills in the field.
As for the high command, they were desperate and feared that taking so much territory would be a real problem to manage strictly. But none of them can match Jason's determination and vision, who was the best when it came to making the right decisions.
Jason knew that the Fireflies could be his ally in the fight against the CRM, but thinking it over, he does not need allies in a battle of tactics and precise decisions.
He knew that as soon as he accepted allies, they could greatly influence the results of his operations. There is no need to say how Jadis betrayed Rick in the original story and he almost lost a war right when he was starting with the Saviors.
Jason knew how to control things, and right now he wanted to maintain control of this city. If the CRM discovers it, at least he wants to have a defensive dome where the CRM's conventional attacks do not work.
The S.C.T. will not be easy to defeat!
Jason set out to do things personally in places where decisions about the future needed to be made, not only for him, but for the entire S.C.T. organization.
As time passed, right now his people would be mobilizing toward this place. How many would there be? From 5,000 to 10,000 soldiers?
It could be. Now South Carolina has become a target under Jason's orders.
"While they play at being tough and think with their lower head, my people will step on their heads in just a few more minutes!"
A cold smile was drawn on Jason's face, showing his absolute arrogance in front of these people.
