"Not there, Captain," Jason immediately denied Matt's plan. "You know, from here to Homestead, you have to go through the whole city."

"So what?" Matt asked.

"There are zombies everywhere in the city. If our motorcade is trapped in it, we will die," Jason said seriously. "I can't risk my brothers' lives."

"Excuses, you are making excuses for your cowardice." Matt was excited after his plan was denied. "Major, can you just watch our purser's illness get worse?"

"My responsibility includes the safety of everyone here," Jason said. "The purser is not the only one."

"In any case, I must choose the safest direction for our team." Jason continued, "I hope you can understand."

"Is there no other way?" Matt was still reluctant. He begged, "Try again, Major."

"It seems that it is," Jason said helplessly. He sighed and looked out at the incessant rainstorm.

"If it's really not possible, let's go back to the base." Matt was struggling. Jennifer worked with her for many years. The relationship between them was very good. He couldn't bear to watch Jennifer fall ill on the way.

"Matt, I can accept that the trip is slightly delayed, but I can't let this action go back without success," Jason said sincerely to Matt. "We have no way out, have we?"

"Then you need to come up with an idea, Major." Matt's voice suddenly rose. Jason's words changed his mood from disappointment to anxiety, and then he became slightly angry. "Didn't you say you should be responsible for everyone? Jennifer is one of them."

Matt's voice startled other people nearby, and some of the nearest people began to cast surprised glances here.

"No matter what we are going to do next, we must wait for the rain to stop," Jason said. "I don't think our team can go far in this weather."

"The plan was made by you, and the departure date was also chosen by you." Matt lowered his voice, but still could not hide his anger. "As a result, we are the people who bear the influence of these factors."

Matt turned angrily and left, leaving Jason alone.

"Major, what happened to him?" After Matt left, Dr. Mario came over. He looked at Jason in silence and asked with concern.

"Matt was worried about Jennifer's illness and asked us to return to the base," Jason said. "It was not as simple as he thought. You know, there was no turning back."

"They fly in the sky most of the time, and it is understandable that they do not know the situation on the ground," Dr. Mario said. "If it was me or Martin who was sick at the moment, I would not go back to the base, and Martin would not be so."

"You can see much farther than Matt," Jason took out his cigarette case, took out a cigarette from it and put it into his mouth. "Our way out will be Fort Myers, otherwise we will be trapped in Florida."

"And Fort Myers needs a boat," Dr. Mario said with a smile, looking at Jason.

"If there is a boat, we can escape from the heaven." Jason lit the cigarette with a lighter and took a breath. "Doctor, what should we do if we don't find a boat in Fort Myers?"

"I don't know," Dr. Mario said, "but there's always a way to the mountain."

"Well," Jason looked helpless. "Doctor, you came here when you were young. Do you know anything about the infrastructure construction of the Everglade Park?"

"For example, where is there a hospital in this area?" When Jason thought that the doctor had come to him to discuss the action plan, he mentioned his own experience here when he was young.

The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

"It has been many years since I did my scientific research here. It was still desolate and the conditions were very difficult." Dr. Mario recalled and shook his head.

"But you can ask others," Dr. Mario said. "Especially people who have been in Florida for a long time may have information you want to know."

"Good idea, Doctor," Jason nodded. "I'll ask everyone else after I smoke this cigarette."

"Well, let me have a rest. It seems that the rain will not stop for a while," Dr. Mario said. "You should have no plan to travel in the rain, right?"

"Let's go when the rain stops. Go and have a good rest, Doctor." Jason threw the cigarette butt into the rain curtain, and the cigarette butt fell into the water on the ground outside, making a faint "Z" sound, and the residual flame of the cigarette butt was immediately watered down by the rain.

"Mario, just now it seems that the captain and the major had an argument," Dr. Martin asked Dr. Mario when he returned to his seat.

"It's nothing serious," said Dr. Mario, squinting. He stared at the fire in front of him and said, "The captain is worried about Jennifer's illness. He wants Jason to take everyone back to the base first."

"Is he crazy?" Dr. Martin put down the meat skewer in his hand and stared at Mario's side face. "The major didn't promise him, did he?"

"Jason is an excellent officer," Dr. Mario said. "His overall view is much higher than that of the captain."

"Then I can rest assured," Dr. Martin sighed with relief. She took a sip of coffee and continued to ask, "Jennifer's condition seems to have no signs of improvement. Do we have any good methods?"

"If taking medicine doesn't work, we have to carry out infusion treatment, but we don't have infusion equipment now," Dr. Mario suddenly raised his head and looked at other people beside the fire, "who of you is familiar with the Everglade? Is there a hospital near here?"

"Hospital?" King thought for a moment, "I'm afraid the nearest hospital is the downtown hospital in Homstede."

"Is there any other hospital? Jason asked me about this just now, but the last time I came here, it was decades ago." Dr. Mario said, "At that time, it was desolate here. We only had crocodiles as our companions."

"There is another one, but it is far away," Jin said. "There is a hospital in the Flamingo Tourist Center, and it is the only hospital in the whole Everglade. This hospital is dedicated to tourists and has complete medical equipment."

"How far is it?" Martin asked.

"More than 30 miles, (about 50 kilometers)" Jin estimated in his mind, "Flamingo Tourist Center is almost the southernmost end of the Everglade, which is at the end of Highway 9336."

"Really? It seems that I will go to talk to Jason right away." Dr. Mario stood up and waved to Jin. "You can go with me. Tell Major about the Flamingo Tourist Center and see how he arranges the plan."

"I'm glad to help you," Kim also stood up and went to look for Jason with Dr. Mario.

"I'll go too," Hill quickly followed when he heard that he was going to find Jason.

"Major, I brought someone here for you. She should have the information you want." Dr. Mario found Jason and brought Kim and Hill behind him to him. "Oh, no, I brought two people here."

"Hill, King?" Jason saw the doctor who was going back to rest and turned back again, knowing that he should have new news. However, Jason was somewhat surprised to see the two girls brought by the doctor.

Hill waved to Jason and spat out his tongue mischievously.

"Kim knows where there is a hospital in the Everglades Park," Dr. Mario pointed to Kim. "You should ask her about the details."

"Tell me what you know," Jason was excited. He had just mentioned the hospital with the doctor, but the doctor immediately found someone who knew the situation.

"Yes, Major," Kim nodded. "The hospital in Homestead is the nearest to us, but it's the city."

"Well, I know the hospital there is in the urban area, so I gave up the plan to go there," Jason motioned to Kim to continue.

"The other is the only hospital in the Everglades Park," Jin said. "It is in the Flamingo Tourist Center at the southernmost end of the Everglades. If we want to go there, we just need to walk along Highway 9336 to the end."

Jason took a map, pointed to a position on it, and asked, "Is it here?"

"Yes, I've been there before," Kim said, pointing to the location on the map. "This is the estuary where the river flows into the Gulf of Florida. There is also a large campsite on its left."

"What about the hospital equipment there?" Jason continued to ask.

"Very good. I can do general surgery." Jin recalled carefully, "The Flamingo Tourist Center also has a small dock."

"Really?" When Jason heard the word "dock", his eyes lit up, "Are there many boats on the dock?"

"When there are many tourists, there will be more." Kim saw Jason's expression and knew what he was thinking. He quickly explained: "However, the boats are not big, and the number of passengers is small, and most of them are inland ships."

"Well..." Jason was disappointed. It would be great if there were enough ships to go to sea in the Flamingo Tourist Center, because according to the planned route, if they want to go north to Fort Myers, the distance is about ten times more than that to the Flamingo Tourist Center, and it is much more dangerous.

However, after careful consideration, Jason was relieved that Fort Myers was the largest port in southwest Florida from their departure base. The little Flamingo Tourist Center was just a tourist area, where it was almost impossible to find large ships that could go to sea.
