Chapter 185 Quarrel
"Bang!"
The fist collided with the sofa and made a muffled sound. Fortunately, Rick was not the only one sitting on the sofa, otherwise he would have knocked him down with a punch.
Rick reacted quickly. He jumped up from the sofa the moment the opponent pounced on him, dodging the sudden blow.
Upon seeing this, several people around him hurriedly stepped forward to hold Abraham. Rosita immediately hugged his arm, but was thrown to the ground by a huge force.
Abraham effortlessly broke away from the obstruction of several people and rushed towards Rick again.
"Click."
"do not move!"
Colt's black muzzle pressed against the giant man's forehead, and the long barrel glowed with cold light, causing everyone's movements to freeze.
Then both sides took out their weapons and pointed them at each other. Even Lily raised a small revolver, which was a weapon given to her by Aji for self-defense.
Although Tara also took out her weapon, her expression was a little unnatural, and she shouted to everyone hesitantly.
"Don't be impulsive. If you have anything to say, please speak it up."
Eugene, who had shrunk into the corner, was the most troubled at this moment. He realized that this matter had something to do with him.
It felt like two villains, black and white, were quarreling in my heart. On the one hand, I hoped that Abraham would kill each other so that his secret could be kept temporarily, but later he would have to use lies after lies to convince others that the truth would eventually come. It will be revealed to the world. When the time comes, will you be able to bear the consequences?
On the other side, he wanted to stand up and tell everyone the truth about all this. He hoped that he would be brave and that he could stand up, but his cowardly character made him dare not speak at all at the moment.
However, the word vaccine in the opponent's mouth became the straw that broke the camel's back! He mustered up the courage to tell the truth, but the words turned into a shout when he reached his lips.
"Abraham!"
"Shut up, this has nothing to do with you!"
Eugene didn't shut up, instead he started chattering endlessly.
"Maybe I can't really turn the situation around, but one thing I'm very sure of is that I'm the smartest one out of everyone in the room right now, so I say you should put your guns down. If there's a gunfight, based on everyone's 90% of the people here will die from bullets or stray bullets. I don’t want to die inexplicably, so I need you to put down your guns now.”
"I will give an opinion that is acceptable to both parties. Whether you agree or not depends on what you want. I mean..."
"Eugene! Shut up!"
As the red-haired brawny man let out a low roar, he who had been talking endlessly just now instantly turned into a punchline and shrank his body towards the corner.
Ignoring the gun on his head, Abraham stood up slowly, staring at Rick with fierce eyes.
"Abraham!"
Rosita was worried that he would do something outrageous, so she quickly whispered a reminder, but was interrupted by the strong man raising his hand.
"We are two separate teams. I don't want you to dictate to our people. I will take Eugene to Washington. Unless I die, no one can stop my progress! Do you understand?"
After understanding what the other party meant, Rick raised his eyebrows indifferently and put down the gun.
"Of course, no one of my people will go to Washington with you. We will separate tomorrow."
"as you wish."
…
That night, the two groups of people slept in two groups, and both sides left people to keep watch. In the first half of the night, Aji was on duty, and in the second half of the night, it was Morgan's turn.
Looking at the sleeping people, he walked over to Abraham, who had not slept. His face was hidden in the dark night and no one could see clearly, but his identity could be seen from the military uniform on his body.
Abraham was not a fool. He understood what Rick meant before he finished speaking in the evening, but he did not want to believe what the other person said. It could be said that Eugene and Washington were the pillars of his life, and the faint guess in his heart was also shaken by him. Deliberately ignoring it, his attitude towards the sudden appearance of Morgan is not good now.
"Why, do you still want to persuade me to give up going to Washington?"
"Of course not, I just want to talk to you about the situation in Washington."
"Are you talking about that friend of yours?"
"No, he is the leader of our base. It is said that he has a lot to do during this trip. When he left, he also mentioned that one of the reasons for going to Washington is to see if the living conditions there are better than here. But according to the news we received some time ago, the situation there is not optimistic either.”
"Why, is there still a group of people waiting to kill us?"
"At least there was no such news before we left the base, but I'm not here to talk to you about this, and I don't need you to agree with any of my views. I just don't want to..."
At this point, Morgan paused and did not continue. Instead, Abraham asked strangely.
"What don't you want?"
"Nothing, I'd better tell you the purpose of looking for you this time."
"..."
Seeing that the other party was silent, Morgan didn't care and began to whisper about what happened this time.
"Our captain is the man who went to Washington. His name is Lu. He is a very powerful virologist. There are about a dozen researchers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in our base, and there are even two virologists. professor."
"Lu built a laboratory when the base was first established. I can't guarantee whether there are such teams in other places, but our research progress is definitely in the leading position."
"With this kind of configuration, we still haven't been able to completely overcome this difficulty, so what Rick said makes sense. I have a suggestion. You can follow us back to the base first, and wait until you finish watching us. After this situation, if you still decide to go to Washington, no one will stop you, and the experts in our base can also help you identify the authenticity of this matter, right? "
He said a lot in one breath, but the other person still sat there blankly looking out the window. Morgan shook his head secretly. He had done everything he could, and the choice still depended on the other person's own wishes.
What neither of them noticed was that Eugene was not sleeping at all at this time. He was staring at the roof with his eyes wondering what he was thinking. The moonlight shone in his eyes, revealing an inexplicable look.
…
In a small town more than ten kilometers away from Rick and the others, Carol and his party also hid in a house for the night.
At this time, the person watching the night was Babota, and there was another person sitting next to him, it was Carol, and the two were talking about something.
"Aren't you going to sleep?"
"Can't sleep. "
"Still thinking about Rick?"
"uh-huh."
Babota sighed, looked back at the closed door of the room behind him, and spoke in a deliberately lowered tone.
"Do you think Captain Rick has..."
"Don't talk nonsense! Don't let Loli hear these words, you know?"
"Then do you think we should go to this terminal?"
Carol pondered for a moment and said with some uncertainty.
"I definitely want to go, but don't make direct contact. Let's observe first."
"All right."
