Chapter 22: The Plot of Upheaval and Sherlock's Proposal
Colonel Packard's anger was not unfounded.
Major Chapman's death was only one of them—as a soldier who had just retired from the battlefields of the Vietnam War, Packard was accustomed to death, and much of his anger was directed at the Sea Stallion's weapons.
At the beginning of the movie, King Kong goes on a killing spree and executes all the helicopters due to the source explosives, and in the brutal massacre of King Kong, Colonel Packard dies at least a few dozen people.
These are his brothers who depend on him for life and death.
Thus, the killing intent was born—and Colonel Packard's killing intent was far deeper than that of ordinary people.
As stated in the War Paint prompt, Colonel Packard is not an "ordinary man", he is a madman...... Or a patient.
This guy has a very serious battlefield syndrome.
He loved to fight, he was eager to fight, and even the fact that fighting and war had long been a part of Colonel Packard's life, and before this mission, Colonel Packard and his team were about to retire, which was nothing less than a disaster for Colonel Packard.
He had made this mission the last of his life.
Sadly, it even became the only meaning of his life!
In fact, even in the real world, there are many people who don't understand the dangers of mental illness.
In fact, in terms of the number of deaths, the number of deaths caused by mental illness is not lower than that of cancer......
All in all, Colonel Packard, who has lost the meaning of life, has a new life on Skull Island.
He set himself a small goal......
Kill King Kong.
Either you die or I live.
Or to put it more simply, Colonel Packard just didn't want to live......
So, the words that are taken for granted blurted out.
"I'm going to kill it, I'm going to kill it!"
Excited heart, trembling hands......
Everyone could see that Colonel Packard was swinging up and down, and heavy gasps came from between his mouth and nose, as if he were stunned.
“what?”
Conrad didn't quite understand what Packard meant, and he muttered, only to see Packard slowly open his eyes.
The bloodshot eyes and hideous eyes made Conrad feel a thrill - as a veteran, Conrad understood that the colonel was on the verge of collapse and explosion......
He closed his mouth resolutely, and then he heard Packard continue.
"That thing, that big monkey, you all saw it, right?"
Packard said loudly as he spread his hands and surrounded the crowd.
"That thing! That thing shouldn't have been in this world at all! It! It killed dozens of my brothers. ”
Packard pointed to the nameplate around his neck, his anger growing.
"Just let him go, and I'll just leave? Dream! I can't do it! ”
"No weapons? It's okay, I still have a gun in my hand! I still have heavy machine guns, I still have bombs! Even if I can't kill him, I'm going to give this beast a hard blow!! ”
The successive bad news made Colonel Packard completely lose his mind, and for a while, the whole forest was filled with Colonel Packard's roar, he danced and described his ambitions, while the characters looked at Colonel Packard, but they were all silent.
The boss is looking for death, but it doesn't mean that everyone will die with him.
Even the most stupid person has the most basic judgment - lack of heavy firepower, just by virtue of these guys present, in the eyes of King Kong, they are undoubtedly grasshoppers after the autumn, and they can't jump twice at all.
Until a voice came from behind Packard.
"Colonel, I'll do it with you!"
Wang Wei walked out of the crowd with a calm face and stood beside Colonel Packard, and then, he looked at the group of reincarnators who were at a loss and didn't know what to do, and said with a smile.
"Without Packard, there is no chance to evacuate, and it is clearly written in the chain side quests...... Do you really think this road is easy to follow? If we don't accompany Packard to kill King Kong, none of us will want to run! ”
The reincarnators were immediately dumbfounded......
Remembering the rules of the chain side quests, the reincarnators were all silent.
Until Luzio, who is the captain of the Samsara team, leads the way.
"Isn't it just a beast, I'm afraid of an egg, my brothers did it!"
"Black Hawk! Invincible! ”
The black eagle, with only two or three big cats and kittens left, shouted a slogan again, not to mention, it was really inspiring to shout a slogan on this occasion......
As a result, the trend of standing in line became more and more obvious, and many reincarnators silently stood by Colonel Packard's side - they were also forced to helpless.
Until a voice suddenly came into the eardrums of the reincarnations.
"Why rush to death? Actually, I have a solution here...... A way to get you all out alive. ”
Everyone immediately looked up at Sherlock, only to see that Sherlock was still smiling, he didn't open his mouth, but the voice that came into the ears of the reincarnation was clear and clear.
"Your side quest is nothing more than protecting Colonel Packard to the extraction point, and the reward is a chance to get out of this mission. Of course, there will be restrictions in this Conquest Paradise, for example, you can't do anything against Colonel Packard's wishes, in other words, you can't force Colonel Packard to do anything. ”
Sherlock said this, but Wang Wei squinted his eyes sharply.
This old man, even if he didn't receive the task, he could guess what the side quest on this side was......
Of course, this is not a lot of ability, from Wang Wei's previous words and the attitudes of the reincarnators, as long as it is a person, he can guess this.
But from Sherlock's words, Wang Wei can be sure that Sherlock has found a way to break the game......
A game-breaking method that is good for most reincarnators, but not in the interests of Wang Wei!
"But you can't force it, it doesn't mean that the characters can't force it, right? Now friends, look at you left and right, and look at the soldiers who are subordinate to Colonel Packard...... Yes, take a good look at their faces, and then quietly figure out what they are thinking......
Sherlock's voice gradually deepened, and there seemed to be a kind of magic in this voice, which made the reincarnators involuntarily turn their heads and look at the characters who had been fighting side by side for two days.
You can see that these characters are dazed on their faces, they are holding guns, but they don't know how to react at all.
On the one hand, it is his own boss, and on the other hand, he is obviously rational......
In fact......
This choice is not difficult......
They really didn't want to have any more trouble with King Kong...... They don't want to use their lives to fill King Kong's stomach!
"No, sir, this is death!"
Sliveko spoke suddenly, and he looked at Packard and took a deep breath.
"Guys, don't you see? The colonel has gone mad! He's crazy! ”
"Shut up, Sliveko!"
Colonel Packard scolded the little soldier who had followed the hero and heroine of the plot all the way, however, his actions were limited to scolding - the colonel was not reasonable in the first place, and he did not lose his mind enough to kill Sliveko on the spot.
This is undoubtedly in line with Sherlock's intentions......
The wind was blowing, and Sliveko's voice was heard in the wind.
"Cole, Mills......"
"I think we should take the colonel...... Even in a rude way. ”
