Chapter 116: Everyone is happy
In the moment when the bright and strong light filled the vision, Jones finally felt a little regretful.
It’s not that I regretted being an enemy with Wang Ye, but that I regretted that I chose to stick to my home at this critical moment and wait for the enemy to come to me on my own initiative.
With one-eyed Jones' usual style, he always takes the initiative to attack, even if he is a dangerous move, he must keep the enemy out of the door. Jack values him so much that he is ruthless and good at taking the initiative, which can often erase the problems in the bud. In this way, even if the final action is not smooth, there is still room for mediation to be remediated.
However, this time, Jones unconventionally placed the enemy at the door of his house. For this reason, no matter what the final result was, it would be a serious mistake.
At this moment, I think that the few words Jack had said before leaving were undoubtedly the root of the problem.
"Jones, when I'm not here, I'll leave the oasis to you."
Perhaps the original intention of Jack's words was to inspire morale and allow Jones to work harder for him, but to Jones's sound, this was actually the heir heir.
Jack was not willing to be the position of Oasis Sheriff, and he always wanted to go further. And he was very close to that step. As long as this time things could be done, it was basically a foregone conclusion.
So for Jones, as long as he serves Chief Jack for a few more days and waits for him to be promoted smoothly, Jones can become his successor and inherit power.
However, it was these few words that changed Jones' mentality and became anxious about gains and losses intentionally or unintentionally.
In the past, Jones was a sinister and cunning outlaw, but now he has become a conservative and cowardly master of success. He is afraid of death, injury, and loss, so he strives to be safe and stick to his family.
So it finally caused bad consequences. The opponent's madness was far beyond his expectations. Not only did he coerce his friends, but he not only failed to make him give in, but instead aroused his fierceness and made him take action directly!
While pressing the activation switch of all defense systems, Jones fell into deep regret and fear like a black hole.
This time, he completely messed up.
After Wang Ye's two heavy artillery fired, regardless of whether the police station building can survive the artillery fire, the police station's prestige will be greatly affected.
It has been many years since no one dared to act so arrogantly in Jack's territory, and no one could shake the impeccable office building of the police station - at the Oasis Space Station, this building is known as an unwavering fortress. Even if the entire space station falls apart, it can survive in space as an independent module.
However, at this moment, as Wang Ye's two heavy naval guns continued to output, the shields on the outside of the building began to dissolve and fade quickly, and then fell apart. After losing the shield protection, the protective coating on the exterior wall of the building also began to burn and peel off, revealing the mottled inner alloy armor. From the outside, it looked like a burn scar, extremely ugly.
This scene is happening in the most prosperous area of Oasis Space Station. There are thousands or tens of thousands of eyes looking around, and then thousands or tens of thousands of mouths will spread all this with great energy and energy.
In less than two days, the millions of people at the Oasis Space Station will clearly understand that Deputy Sheriff Jones can't even save his own hometown!
Jones simply couldn't imagine how Jack would view all this after he came back... Jack was never a magnanimous person. He had been under Jack for many years and knew this better than anyone else. You can succeed countless times, but you can only fail once.
For a moment, Jones opened his one-eye and his pupils faced the strong light burst out from the heavy naval cannon. He was quickly stimulated to lose all his vision, but he was unaware of anything.
In just a few seconds, the layers of defense of the office building were quickly disintegrated, leaving only the last layer of armor that constitutes the main body of the building. If this layer of alloy armor as thick as 20 cm was also penetrated by artillery, then there would be no survivor for hundreds of people in the entire building.
It was in these few seconds that Jones stood in the sheriff's office, turning a deaf ear to the sirens coming and going.
It's over, it's all over.
At this moment, time seemed to have become particularly long, and Jones's thinking also became scattered and fluttered at this moment.
At first he was regret and shame. If he was the one who used to be, he would not lose his ferociousness even in the face of desperate situations. Wang Ye liked to die together, so he would die together. He might be able to destroy the prestige of this building and Jack for many years, but he would lose his friends forever. People who were watching would see that anyone who was enemies with Jack would eventually pay the price. But now Jones can no longer issue such a decisive order, because he would always unconsciously think, even if he ordered to kill Maryland, what would be the best for him?
This is undoubtedly a manifestation of cowardice... The deputy sheriff, known for his ruthlessness, has become so cowardly, and of course it deserves regret, shame and anger.
But soon, Jones was relieved from this emotion. Is cowardly wrong? Of course not, because cowardly is actually a necessary quality for him! He is the heir to take over the power of the sheriff, and only cowardly people can firmly sit in the position of the sheriff! For example, Jack, the legendary sheriff has hardly walked out of this office building in the past decade, and rarely enters the battlefield in person - even if he is clearly the most powerful soldier in the space station.
What needs ruthlessness and madness is that people under the sheriff will always be the sheriff, such as the deputy sheriff. Jones has been a deputy for Jack for so many years. After being influenced by the eyes, he has actually learned all the skills that the sheriff should learn. Now he has just entered his role first. So Jones doesn't think he is wrong, what he must say...
"Actually it's Jack's fault. If he hadn't caused enemies to be everywhere over the years, how could you end up in this situation?"
In a trance, Jones seemed to hear someone talking in his ear, and said it directly into his heart.
That's right, it's all Jack's fault... Whether it's Wang Ye or Maryland, they are obviously here to trouble Jack - he has never had any interaction with these two before, so how can he be worthy of the other party's crazy output of firepower?
If Jack is not at home, he becomes a scapegoat himself.
"It's so pitiful. You have worked hard under Jack for more than ten years. The hard work has been 'too many'. You have finally survived this day, but you have to die here because of your ex. If I were to die with me, I would definitely die with my eyes open. And are you really willing to die like this?"
"Of course I'm not willing to give up." Jones responded subconsciously, and then suddenly woke up, "Who is it!"
At this time, Jones finally realized that the sound that just appeared in his ear was not auditory hallucination, but that someone really touched him!
"Who else can I besides me?"
Wang Ye answered with a smile, while releasing the invisible state and appeared in front of Jones.
"By the way, the slowdown of time is not the revolving light effect before death, but I delayed the rhythm of firepower output, causing you to illusion... Otherwise, your broken building would have been razed to the ground by me, so how could I have time to give you random thoughts?"
Jones stared at Wang Ye nervously: "How did you come in?!"
"I have cleaned up all the outer shield and coating. Is it difficult to come in?" Wang Ye sneered, "You guy walked around in front of the gate of hell, and your IQ fell there?"
Jones didn't care about being ridiculed at this time and asked again: "...what do you want to do?"
"What do you think?" Wang Ye asked back, "What do you think I want to do?"
Jones was silent for a moment, locked his opponent with one eye, and began his best insight into the human heart.
"Do you want to instigate me? Stop dreaming," said Jones. "It's impossible for me to betray the sir."
Wang Ye smiled and said, "Take it down, your heart has long been betrayed Jack. A true loyal minister should have died with me without hesitation, and killed all my friends by the way, and finally left a corpse to express his loyalty to Jack. And what are you doing? Are you talking and laughing with me?"
Jones suddenly had nothing to say.
Wang Ye was right. Deep down, he was indeed no longer loyal to Jack, so he talked so much nonsense with the other party.
"Think rationally. In places like Wandering Star Domain, loyalty is simply a false proposition. As long as the price is right, no one cannot betray it."
"Then what price are you going to pay?" Jones asked.
ha!
Hearing this question, Wang Ye couldn't help but like himself.
At this point, the matter was basically resolved. Although Jones insisted on showing off his mysterious appearance, Wang Ye had seen through him for a long time and his subsequent reaction could be expected.
