Section 196 Shadows
The sorceress sat in her room, distraught as she manipulated the equipment in front of her.
It's a large, sturdy, bulky machine, about the size of a two-door refrigerator, but it looks a little messy. Its shell appears to be metallic, but for some unknown reason it has been dyed a dirty earthy yellow. From the top of the machine to the bottom of the machine, there are several pipes that look inexplicably uncomfortable. Normally, this kind of equipment is not so much seen in an ordinary person's home as it is suitable for a laboratory with relatively old equipment.
At the top of the machine, a little lower than the face of an ordinary person, there was a small panel with flashes of graphics and symbols that the earthlings did not recognize. However, if you look at it for a while, a normal person will recognize that it is some kind of unknown text from its regular changes.
"Data transmission error!" would probably mean this if you translate these words into Chinese.
Zhu Hua cursed softly, and then sat down dejectedly. The interference is too strong for the signal to be sent.
This time it was just a regular data transfer, that is, to pass on some information gathered from Earth, especially in terms of weapons. Of course, this is a very legitimate request, although their main purpose this time is to target the Huiyue Warlock, but yes, since they have come to such a world with advanced scientific and technological civilization, it is only natural to bring something back by the way.
Because all his companions died, the remaining Zhu Hua had to protect himself as his first goal. This is not because she lacks courage, but because objective facts are what it needs. She must survive to provide all kinds of assistance to the second group of comrades who arrive, so that they can be ready for battle as quickly as possible. Obviously, this strategy can be more helpful for the whole mission than being killed by the enemy without a strategy.
Of course, during this time, she can't really be completely idle. Since you can't solve the main task, it's better to get the secondary task for a long time.
But this task is very difficult. It is easy to gather information on missiles from the Earth's network. But it's complicated to teleport the stuff back. On average, it takes about 100 times to have a successful transmission.
It's so difficult to communicate between two worlds. From this point of view, the creation of magic is much better than the products of these technologies. Even though there are thousands of shortcomings, at least it can ensure that information and materials are conveyed in a timely and accurate manner within the scope of world rules.
Of course, she herself knew that it was useless. The combat weapons created by the technological civilization on Earth can only be used as a reference for warlocks, or as temporary tools in a certain environment. Most of the weapons of war on Earth, such as cannons and missiles, do not help the warlocks much in their wars.
The reason for this is also very simple: on Earth, although long-range weapons such as artillery, airplanes or missiles are powerful, they can only be fired freely and carefree from the rear of the front line dozens or hundreds of kilometers away. In such a situation, it is difficult for anything other than the same kind to threaten them. But in fact, the short-range self-defense capability of these weapons is actually very weak. At close range, without the support of other friendly forces, the defense power of aircraft, artillery, missiles and other units is almost zero. A group of infantry can easily destroy it, or even capture it.
Therefore, this weapon is of limited use against warlocks. Anyone knows that a small group of warlocks can easily infiltrate the enemy's rear, claim these terrible weapons for themselves, and let the flames of death pour out on the heads of their original owners. The only way to solve this problem is to arrange for Warlocks to defend the relevant positions - so the key to victory or defeat in the war becomes once again a battle between Warlocks and Warlocks, and the winner will have the right to use these terrible firepower.
Instead of investing resources in building these powerful but expensive weapons, it would be better to get more Warlocks! Wouldn't it be nice to defeat the enemy's Warlocks and take the weapons that the enemy has spent so much money to make.
If you want to fight against the warlocks, you still need something integrated, and a large weapon that can effectively resist the infiltration of the warlock is suitable. For example, a floating fortress, even if it is finally breached, can at least make the enemy pay a certain price.
In her frustration, she went to the kitchen and poured herself a glass of water.
It was originally a residence for five or six people, but now she is the only one, so of course it seems very empty. Even if there's such a machine in it, it's the same.
The kitchen has a window that looks diagonally out onto the living room of another family. It happened that someone was there on the other side, and several eyes looked at him.
It should be noted that at this moment, she is wearing a newly bought light gray coat, short skirt, stockings, and a pair of high heels on the insoles at the door. At least in terms of how she dressed, it was hard to tell that she was an exotic visitor.
She smiled at the other side and nodded.
Practice is the best teacher, and now she knows what she has to do to hide her true origins, and can use the best and easiest way to live in this world. Just like her income in this world. Although it was gambling at first, she realized in time that gambling was not destined to last long, or that gambling was too easy to expose. No matter what kind of gambler it is, after a long time, it is natural to be able to detect some clues. As a warlock, she wasn't afraid of any danger she would encounter, but she also knew that the world wasn't friendly to strangers. There are many precedents for human beings in this world to exterminate their own races.
Of course, if the two worlds really want to have a war without restrictions, then the earth can survive for three months. It's a pity that when a person faces the whole world, even a high-level warlock can only be crushed. Therefore, the most important and crucial lesson of survival in another world is to hide yourself.
Others may have been trained or something, but she realized it herself.
The other side also made a greeting gesture towards this side. But then, she heard a slight murmur from there.
If it were an ordinary person, through two windows, it would be impossible to hear a slight sound of this magnitude. But she's no ordinary person.
"See, it's so beautiful...... That must be the little ...... who was adopted."
“…… It is said that I don't have to go to work every day, I stay at home, and I still look so good......"
She'd heard a lot of those words a long time ago. In fact, she welcomed it more than disgust. With this rumor on the ground, at least no one doubts her identity and her unusual behavior. In fact, as a person from a civilization that is very different from the earth, whether it is marriage or childbirth, Zhu Hua said that the harm to her is infinitely close to zero.
A chime sounded in the room where the machine was placed.
Zhu Hua rushed back as fast as he could.
There was a temporary pause in the space-time turbulence on the outer walls of the world—and possibly for some other reason she didn't know—but the machine's communication was normal.
After activating the communication switch, a face appeared on the panel that she didn't like at all. It's not that there's anything wrong with the other party's looks, but because that face gives her too many bad memories.
“…… A member of the Rangers' Provisional Sixth Brigade ...... "Although she wanted to report in her heart according to the habitual official tone, or at least inform her identity, and then add the usual phrase "sir", she didn't speak. Looking at that face, all but anger and hatred welled up in her heart. To be honest, although she has always felt that she has buried these emotions in the deepest part of her heart, she feels that she can do anything for her ambitions, and at the same time, she will not fluctuate in her heart in the face of any situation. But at this moment, anger almost swallowed her reason.
It took all her strength to keep her semblance of calm.
If you look closely, even through this unreliable instrument, you can detect her mood at the moment.
It's a pity that in the eyes of the other party, she is too humble, so she doesn't even have the leisure to observe her expression.
"Is that you?" the other looked left and right. "Why are you, Wang Dayong?"
"He's tragically dead. Zhu Hua finally answered. "I've sent the message back. ”
She has already provided complete evidence for the details of that part, that is, Wang Dayong's death. Prove that this is not a murder, but is carried out based on the requirements of the mission. What she did was nothing more than to end Wang Dayong's pain ahead of schedule. And this is indeed an irrefutable objective fact.
"Oh, really, I didn't pay attention!" replied in a typical nonchalant tone. This kind of arrogance and frivolity is not unique, although this matter is related to a human life, and it is the life and death of a warlock, but in the eyes of many high-level warlocks, low-level warlocks are basically such a kind of cannon fodder role. They have little concern for individual warlock casualties, and only the massive casualty numbers can move them slightly. Wang Dayong has completely disappeared, no one will remember him, miss him, and no one will come to investigate the cause of his death or even avenge him. This is the end of a warlock without a family. "So you're left now?"
Zhu Hua bit his lip and did not speak.
"It stands to reason that you should be dead. The face said suddenly.
"I was in charge of external marking, and I was able to escape. Zhu Hua knew that the other party was referring to the ambush of the First Lawyer. It was a doomed battle, but she had reason to think that no one would pursue her escape (even killing a companion for it).
"I've reported you dead. The face said jokingly.
