Chapter 8 (2/2)
”This radio record is the best proof of life I've ever seen.” Mickey said happily.
In one car, the main members of the team argued about the notebook Alice had brought.
”Alaska?” Clare questioned.
”We have to go over and have a look. We can't just ignore it.”
”Do you know what kind of journey it will be?” Claire was obviously against the unknown.
”Yes, it's definitely a long journey.”
”So in the end, what happens? You can't prove that there are still people living there.” Clare said excitedly.
”These radio records show that...”
”It's all recorded half a year ago. How many radio calls have we responded to, and how many times have we been too late.” Clare retorted firmly.
Alice said, ”these records show that there is no infection. It's isolated and safe.” Then he took a look at Wu Qizhe, as if to get his support.
”The people in this team are risking their lives on me. They don't have to daydream.” Clare shook his head and said with certainty.
”Maybe that's what they want, a dream.” Wu Qizhe pointed to the people around him: ”our people are getting fewer and fewer. Now there are less than 30. They are beginning to despair.” After a pause, he said, ”maybe they need a hope, a hope to guide them.” The reason why he said this is to promote the plot. He has consulted the system. He can't leave biochemical crisis 3 until the end of the plot.
Claire was obviously agitated by Wu Qizhe.
All the rest were called together, and after an opening speech, Claire stated his purpose, which was unanimously approved by everyone's cheers.
”We're going to Alaska.” It's rare to see everyone cheering. Claire's face is filled with joy, and maybe confused at the same time, because it's unknown.
Holding Wu Qizhe's palm, she jumps out of the car with a bright smile on her face. Looking at the handsome outline and firm eyes, Claire suddenly feels relieved that she is not alone at least.
......
At night.
Claire got together with the team's backbone to discuss how to get to Alaska.
”We're running out of food and gas. We need a lot of supplies to go to Alaska.” LJ said.
”I only have half a tank of oil. That's all. Mitch, what about you?”
”Mine's going to be empty. I can run a hundred miles at most.” Wu Qizhe took out the map and pointed out several places to go. They were all rejected one by one. Finally, everyone decided to go to Las Vegas. Although it was dangerous, only there could we find enough food and supplies.
Going to Las Vegas is probably the team's only hope.
Wu Qizhe can't find a reason to refute. Even if he doesn't go to Las Vegas, the umbrella company will send someone to catch Alice sooner or later. When he goes to Las Vegas, at least he is still familiar with the plot.
After talking about business, we put out the fire and planned to have a rest.
”Dennis, you go there. Get in the car.” Claire opens the car door and looks at Wu Qizhe who left with LJ. She wants Dennis to get on the car and have a rest. She, Wu Qizhe and Kmart all sleep in this car except last night. The woman's keen intuition told her that Dennis seemed very different to the new Alice.
”I sleep with LJ tonight. Carlisle, go to bed early. Good night.” I put my arm around LJ's shoulder and got into the car.
Claire was a little uncomfortable. She obviously felt that Dennis didn't sleep with them in the same car because of Alice's presence, which made her a little annoyed. How can we get to know each other first? Can't we compare with Alice who has only known each other for two days?
Bored to death, strong women also have trouble when they go back to the car and find Kmart is also a look of melancholy, shaking his head, don't think about it, there are still a lot of things to deal with tomorrow.
