Chapter 73: Video Call
Soon after.
"Listen Jack, the situation here is very bad! Those people are not from RDA, they control this place, and now..."
Snap!
The lights in the dim room suddenly lit up, illuminating a black scientist wearing a white lab coat and fluffy curly hair.
The sudden light startled him, and he tried to close the video conversation in a hurry, but no matter how he pressed the button, the video still did not respond.
Jack on the other side of the screen noticed something was wrong and asked nervously: "Max? How are you doing?"
Max had no time to reply, and his eyes did not stay on Jack's face, but looked at something outside the screen.
At the end of the corridor, four people appeared silently.
Two soldiers wearing camouflage guardian suits, the woman who walked off the plane before, and a young man in a suit.
The two soldiers rushed to Max quickly, handcuffed his hands, pressed his head heavily on the table, and made a heavy impact.
"Ah!"
"Max!"
The video call was never disconnected. Jack, who was in the mobile research station, watched Max being pressed on the table but could do nothing. He could only look at Max with an apologetic look.
"Sorry, Jack..." Although half of his face was pressed on the table, Max still said vaguely to Jack on the other end: "I can't help you anymore, don't feel sad for me, just continue to do what you think is right..."
"Hehehe! I wanted to do this once a long time ago. Duncan walked slowly to the screen with a villain's smile, turned his head and said to Alice who kept a helpless smile: "We are like the villains in the movie now, right!"
"As long as you are happy. "
Alice smiled and shook her head gently, then stood beside him, fulfilling her bodyguard duties diligently.
Jack, who was far away, saw this through the video call, his fists clenched red under the table, staring at the man on the screen, almost certain that he was the behind-the-scenes manager of the aircraft carrier in the sky, because he remembered Alice's appearance, and there was nothing missing on this planet, except for beautiful human women.
Although Alice, who was wearing a half-face mask when she appeared in a tight combat uniform, was still very recognizable, and many people could remember it deeply, including him.
"Don't hurt Max, I planned all this, he...he just followed my orders."
"You are Jack, right?" Duncan seemed to have just discovered the video communication screen, showing a surprised expression, and then apologized: "Sorry...some things within the rules, once done wrong, you need to pay the corresponding price, otherwise it will seem that the law is cheap, he and you should actually be convicted of treason and crimes against humanity. This is the world, please be sad! "
After that, he waved his hand, and Max was taken away by the soldiers.
Before leaving, Max was still comforting Jack, "Don't blame yourself, I won't blame you, say hello to Norman for me!"
"No problem, I'll say hello to him."
It was Duncan who said this, and he pulled the chair next to him, sat in front of the video communication, and looked at Jack with a smile.
But Jack couldn't hold his temper, "What do you want? Kill the life on this planet like RDA, and then loot all the valuable things?"
"Oh..." Duncan showed an uncomfortable expression, "Why do you think so, we are Umbrella Company, not RDA, we won't do such a thing as killing the life on this planet, don't think bad of us, we are just..."
Taking the opportunity of Duncan's pause, Jack, full of anger, began to taunt, "Just what? You only killed two thousand lives during the day, and your lies are really disgusting!"
"I'm thinking, thinking about how to resolve the conflict with the Na'vi. "
"Conflict? I think you need to reread your textbook!"
The word "contradiction" seemed to have ignited Jack's anger. More than 2,000 lives were exchanged for just a cold word "contradiction"?
"Shh...shhh!" Duncan leaned back against the back of the chair, with his left index finger against his lips, and said, "You should listen to me politely, or do you want to know how many weapons are on my ship? ”
“…”
The threat was very effective. Jack’s anger was extinguished by the cold reality. The skin of his eyebrows and nose bridge formed a long ravine. The corners of his mouth were pressed down to a slight arc. The muscles on his face were tense and trembling slightly, like a beast that was ready to attack and hurt people at any time.
“A pretty good expression…” Jack had a very gentle face. Most people couldn’t imagine how angry such a person would be. Duncan saw it now, and it was really scary.
He didn’t play the villain role-playing game anymore. He sat up straight and said to Jack on the other side of the screen: “I read your information before I came here. Because of your disability, you can’t get recognition in human society and are regarded as an alien by ordinary people. After a long time, you also admitted that you were an alien, and refused help from others like a stubborn old man. Now, you have found a sense of identity from the real aliens. In fact, I can understand. ”
Jack’s chest on the other side of the camera was like a balloon that swelled and shrank, and his heavy breathing was transmitted to Duncan through the microphone. It was obvious that his true emotions were exposed and he didn’t know how to face it, so he turned into anger.
The rapid breathing slowly became calm again, and Jack became firm again and said: "No, it's different! It was only during the time when I became a Na'vi that I saw the reality of this world. I will not let you turn Pandora into Another Earth."
"This world is chaotic and false, Jack." Duncan said: "If you can think of resistance, you are actually influenced by freedom for a long time, but your eyes only see the present. Even if there is no Umbrella Company today, ten years later, RDA They will only bring more people and more advanced weapons to continue to turn Pandora into their mining farm. Whether it is the Na'vi people who started from scratch or the RDA company with countless advanced technologies, I need to explain to you. ”
"So you want to use these words to make me give up?" Having already expected that Duncan would say such words, Jack gave a sarcastic smile at the right time.
Duncan waved his hands carelessly: "I'm just stating the facts, and then give you the multiple-choice question. The Umbrella Company will conceal what happened on Pandora, and the Umbrella Company will also provide the Na'vi with: education, medical care, roads, and... ...Safe. And what you have to do is very simple, live on or give up this planet, just don’t move.”
After listening to the last paragraph, Jack's expression was completely unbearable. This is not a multiple-choice question, this is obviously a true or false question!
"Sorry Jack... This universe is like this, the weak eat the strong, and the fittest survive. The Na'vi people will be beaten if they don't seek to make progress. They are actually very smart. If they are unwilling to change, they will become the fertile tribes on the African continent, weak and weak. , ignorant, backward.”
Duncan showed an apologetic expression. Pandora is really a very suitable planet for colonization. Not only the resources on this planet, but also the Alpha Centaur galaxy where Pandora is located has great development value.
Pandora is one of the 14 satellites of the planet Polyphemus. These 14 satellites are not far from Pandora. A large number of ores among them are very convenient to mine with the advent of space navigation technology. Even if they are not mining on Pandora, the fourteen One satellite is enough for Umbrella Corporation to feed several Earths.
More importantly, there are no tied hands on Pandora, Ultron can mass-produce robots, and Umbrella can mass-produce replicants.
