After notifying General Hammer and handing Stark over to Sandman to lead his team for protection, Ash went to look for Cassel and his daughter Alex.
Following the path Kassel took at that time, Ash found the two prisoners in a small commodity kiosk. At this moment, there were other hostages gathered in this small kiosk.
Hammer's order has been conveyed to every soldier, and the soldiers led the hostages to begin to evacuate to the outside. Intimidated by the soldiers' weapons, no one dared to do anything bad.
"Kassel, we have to leave, this place will soon be covered by that tornado."
At this moment, Cassel squatted down and hugged his daughter. It looked like he had maintained this posture for a long time. The arrival of Ash broke the touching father-daughter scene at this moment.
Seeing Ash in such a hurry, Cassel was a little puzzled and asked: "Didn't you convince that general?"
Ash pointed at the strange celestial phenomenon above his head and said: "It's not about the gas bombs now. The energy of that abnormal celestial phenomenon is enough to destroy the entire east coast. Now we have to evacuate to a safer place before the tornado covers the ground."
After saying that, Ash directly pulled Cassel and Alex towards the evacuation direction.
"Wait a minute, you are the army and should protect others."
A voice that was clearly a child's spoke out the words of a child.
Following the sound, a little dirty black-haired boy wearing a thin hoodie said the above words to Ash.
Next to him was a black man wearing a black windbreaker and covered in dust. The man was holding the little boy by his hand to avoid hitting Ash.
"Child, we are evacuating to protect the people here. No one knows what is in that weird celestial phenomenon."
Ash is always patient with children, explaining the reasons for his actions to the little boy.
"No, you must cooperate with the gunslinger to prevent his arrival."
The boy's words made Ash realize as if he was awakened from a dream. The person in front of him at this moment was the target of the strange celestial phenomenon.
"Son, can you tell me who the gunslinger I should cooperate with is?"
The boy looked at the black man behind him cooperatively, waiting for the man's response.
He reached out to the black man in a friendly manner, but unexpectedly it was just Ash who stretched out his hand in the air in embarrassment.
"He comes from Middle-earth and doesn't know much about Earth's etiquette."
Ash knelt down to be at eye level with the child, looked into the child's eyes and said, "So, kid, what can you tell me? Only with relevant information can I tell the troops on the scene what to do."
The boy slowly told the story. It turned out that the boy's name was Jack, and he often dreamed of gunslingers traveling around the world in his dreams.
After a quarrel with his parents, the boy angrily went to the place he had met in his dream, and ended up in a parallel world by accident.
In the parallel world, Jack meets the gunslinger in his dream. The gunslinger understands Jack's special characteristics and prepares to follow Jack's dream to find the man in black and prevent him from destroying the world.
However, Jack's parents on Earth were visited by men in black and brutally killed. The boy had to live with the gunslinger.
They came to Block Island because there was a teleportation machine leading to the area where the man in black was, but looking at it now, the man in black took action one step ahead.
After listening to the little boy Jack's story, Ash finally understood the ins and outs of the matter. The United States is indeed a country with many disasters, and everything is possible.
"Is that a gunslinger? What do you call him?"
"Roland Deschamps."
"Bring the kids and come with me. We have to discuss how to deal with this big trouble."
Taking the gunslinger and Jack, followed by Cassel and Alex, Ash brought them to the command room on the second floor.
At this moment, everyone is in the command room helping to pack items and prepare to evacuate.
"General Hammer, I figured it out. The celestial phenomena outside are because of..."
Retell Jack's story to others in the command room and explain the reason for the incident.
Stark can always grasp the point of the matter and ask: "Why is the man in black looking for a child?"
"Because this child has powerful spiritual power, he can be made into a weapon by the men in black to attack the dark tower, the pillar of the world."
The gunslinger's explanation raised another question. Stark continued to ask: "Dark Tower, what is that?"
"That is the backbone of Middle-earth and many other worlds. Without it, many worlds would be ruined."
Speaking of this, the gunslinger Roland tried to explain the support of the world, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't find the relevant words to explain.
Seeing the gunslinger's embarrassment, Ash stood up and explained in a language that everyone could understand.
"Middle-earth and other worlds are like soap bubbles gathered together. The Dark Tower is the space in the middle formed by other bubbles. As long as this space is broken, other worlds will be broken."
Stark understood at this time, and said with some satisfaction: "Isn't this the theory of the cosmic bubble conjecture? A few months ago, Hawking introduced the theoretical conjecture in a cosmic science report. Didn't you guys read it?"
No one paid attention to Stark's complacency, and others who understood the seriousness of the matter began to plan the mission goals again.
"This child is the key. Let the rest of the hostages go and we organize on-site defense. The existing defenses can be used."
General Hammer quickly arranged the military tasks, and the Marines stepped into position.
Seeing everyone taking action, the gunslinger Roland also stepped forward and said: "I can also help, but I need some bullets."
With that said, Roland lifted up his windbreaker and showed off the two revolvers under his windbreaker.
"Anderson, come here and find some bullets for this gunslinger that he can use. And when the mission is over, you can write a good action report for me."
Hammer almost said this through gritted teeth. Some of the hostages actually had weapons. Anderson's hostage review work was a mess.
Ash also informed the three people outside the island about the matter at this time. The military and Forbol said they would start dispatching armed personnel to the island as soon as possible. However, due to the previous blockade, there were no ships available for dispatch.
Now there are only combat personnel left in the entire service station, and Stark, who is unwilling to evacuate to the depths of the island together. Cassel is taking Jack and Alex to rest in the command room.
The dark clouds outside have covered the entire sky, and the condensed tornado has also touched the ground. Slowly, the thick fog on the ground is getting heavier and heavier, and finally connects to the sky to form a cone.
Ash and Roland stood on the front line observing the vision in the sky. Ash asked by the way: "Roland, where is the Dark Tower you mentioned?"
Roland pointed to the cone-shaped tornado in front of him and said, "It's right there."
