Volume 3: Over the Moon (28)
According to Liu Yuxin's speculation, since the rebels would throw notes at the settlements to let the residents escape and run west, there would definitely be a place nearby that resembled a liaison station or shelter. Because the age of this group of inhabitants was still stuck in the Middle Ages, they could not afford to travel long distances.
Liu Yuxin also felt very strange about this, according to common sense, shouldn't the hostile sides keep a relatively safe distance?
In fact, just as Liu Yuxin expected, after running for dozens of kilometers, a shuttle-type spaceship more than ten meters long slowly landed in front of Liu Yuxin, and after a "clang" stopped, two silver humans jumped down from it.
Liu Yuxin is very familiar with that kind of silver material, and she also received a set when she was in West Kunlun, which is the standard suit of the Giant Clan, but these two humans wear more simple clothes, and they do not have multi-functional parts attached to it or wear helmets.
"Friends are from outside, right?" Linglong' wants to see you. ”
"Linglong?"
Liu Yuxin was correspondingly wary of these people who were obviously on the side of the Giant Clan, even if they didn't attack him as soon as they met.
Seeing that Liu Yuxin had been on guard, one of the two humans smiled:
"Don't be so nervous, we've been watching you for days, and we weren't sure you came until you just liberated the settlement. Let me introduce myself, my name is Xian"
"My name is Yu"
The other also introduced himself in a timely manner.
It turns out that I've been being watched since I entered here!
But this group of people doesn't seem to be hostile to themselves? This very contradictory conclusion was incomprehensible to Liu Yuxin for a while, and this group of people had a very different mental outlook from the group of creatures in the settlement.
Don't? This group of people who look like official members of the Giant Clan are the rebels in the Elder's mouth?!
"Y-are the rebels who are throwing messages to the inhabitants of the settlement?"
"Yes!"
Two visitors actually confessed!
This is an unexpected and unreasonable answer.
In order to find the root cause of the matter, Liu Yuxin boarded the spaceship with them. After the ship lifts off, it takes them to a valley full of sci-fi atmosphere.
Walking through a dozen huge metal buildings, in front of you is a platform like a blooming lotus, on which the petals of the flowers bloom are the aprons.
The ship landed smoothly on one of the petals.
"Please follow me!"
After Liu Yuxin got off the spaceship, a human guide who had been waiting for a long time led him into a silver tower-shaped building in the valley, and then retreated.
After the leader withdrew, a soft voice rang out in the room:
"Welcome, human! There have been no visitors here for 20,000 years! ”
"You are?"
"I'm Linglong, the manager of this safe house."
This answer surprised Liu Yuxin too much!
As the manager of this safe house, why did the master of the safe house shrink into a corner and be called a rebel and a rebel?
"Are you wondering who are the people who built those settlements out there?"
"I'm a little concerned, after all, they manage a little bit...... Inhumane. ”
Liu Yuxin was skeptical that this Al could know the meaning of his words, but forgive him for not finding other words to describe what happened to those who were raised.
"I understand what you mean, and I sympathize with those creatures, so I gave them the help I could."
"But you could have stopped them!"
"No, human! You don't know us! We, the Archons, have never had the power to make proposals, and the Core has prevented us from intervening more aggressively. Maybe we can make some workarounds, but I can't do anything without a proposal, and providing the creatures with the means to escape is already my limit. ”
This sounds too complicated, and Liu Yuxin didn't understand it at all.
"After the non-combatants on the mothership entered the safe house, I was activated from my slumber and began to carry out the mission entrusted to me - to secure their lives and safety. The members who fled because of the surprise attack of the alien beasts were panicked and annoyed, and vowed to study a way to completely defeat the alien beasts in this dimensional space derived from the main material world. ”
"Mutual killing fuels hatred between opposing sides, and bitter hatred can distort everything! Driven by hatred, my people have been transformed from noble giants into terrible demons. In search of the power to destroy the Holy Spirit, they created the ecology outside and used the creatures they had bred to do cruel experiments. I was bound by the rules, and although I was extremely disgusted with this kind of behavior that pushed the people into a catastrophe, I couldn't take the initiative to stop them. ”
By this time, Liu Yuxin understood the reason why this world was so weird. I learned why the administrators of the settlements were castrated versions of their colonization uniforms, and why the rebels could only help their poor fellow in extremely inefficient ways.
Under the manipulation of fate, this world has formed a dead knot, hatred has long sprouted in the hearts of both sides, these escaped orcs and humans will not show mercy to those giants who have persecuted them because of Linglong, and the current forbearance is nothing more than because they can't obtain powerful offensive weapons, and they are far from being the opponents of those giants.
According to the priority order of the protection clan, Lingling should find a way to annihilate these fish that slipped through the net. But its conscience prompted it not to do so, but it also understood that paper could not contain fire after all, and if it continued to delay, the rebels and their own people would inevitably have a life-and-death war.
The only peaceful solution is to send the clansmen back to the mothership to isolate the two sides, and before that, Linglong must first find a way to ensure that her clansmen are still safe after teleporting.
This is also the reason why Linglong is anxious to see Liu Yuxin, and it must know what the situation is like outside before it can make a decision on whether to send the clansmen out.
Then Linglong asked Liu Yuxin about some of the outside situation, and was also very surprised when she learned that Tianguan was trying to restart the mothership, according to its opinion, humans without any special skills are not opponents of those alien beasts at all, and Tianguan pinned his hopes on humans is undoubtedly whimsical.
But in fact, a human has already made it here!
Perhaps humans are the most suitable for this kind of task, after all, because they have been too weak for a long time, have no grudges with almost all races, and are not qualified to participate in the turmoil 20,000 years ago, they are more likely to be ignored by the beasts, and it is easier to gain the trust of the party.
All that remains is to arrange for Liu Yuxin to meet with the surviving clansmen and find a way to convince them to prepare to evacuate the safe house.
When Liu Yuxin knew that Linglong was going to send him as a messenger to meet those giants, she was also extremely reluctant:
"Why me?"
"I'm sorry to ask you to take the risk alone......"
Linglong paused for a second, seemingly extremely embarrassed:
"Now the remnants regard me as a traitor, and they will not be able to listen to me. And you came with a mission from the Heavenly Officials, so it should be easier for you to be accepted by them. For those who don't want to return to the mothership all the time, your arrival is a symbol of hope! They should be able to treat you appropriately, and you may be able to get extra help from them. ”
Originally, restarting the central control room of the mothership was its own purpose, and adding a group of helpers who are very familiar with the mothership will indeed help to complete this task. After weighing it repeatedly, Liu Yuxin finally put aside her prejudices for the time being, and decided to meet the remnants of the giant clan who had been hiding here for 20,000 years.
Liu Yuxin returned to the settlement that she had liberated.
For safety, Liu Yuxin evacuated the inhabitants of the settlement, leaving only an empty castle and freed the elders.
"I guess you should calm down now, right? I need to talk to your gods. ”
The old minotaur just looked at Liu Yuxin with hatred. The experimental materials of this settlement have run out, and his life cannot be saved no matter what, and he may even become a pitiful test subject, he would rather be killed by the other party now.
Seeing that the elder didn't speak, Liu Yuxin also had a headache, and those giants undoubtedly needed someone to match them, if this minotaur didn't cooperate, Liu Yuxin estimated that he would have to spend a long time here.
"Let's talk to you so"
Liu Yuxin lit up Xiao Wu and let it play a video on the mothership:
"You know what this stuff is, right? I come from the same place as your gods, and I have a mission that is closely related to their fate, and they will naturally give me some help when they see me, and when the time comes, destroying a proving ground will be a trivial matter, and you will be exempted from punishment. ”
When Liu Yuxin said this, the elder's dead eyes suddenly lit up, and he raised his head and asked:
"Are you telling the truth?"
"Of course it's true! If it's fake, how can I possibly go into the trap? ”
This strange visitor really can't be measured by common sense, the elder carefully looked at the information played by Xiao Wu for a while again, and finally made up his mind to give it a go:
"Okay, then I'll contact the oracle now!"
After retrieving his full set of belongings, the elder began to communicate with his superiors.
Not long after, the elder turned off the communication and walked over:
"The Divine Messenger has promised to come and see you, and you'd better really have a mission as you say."
"Don't worry, I don't have to lie to you"
The two waited for a while in the silence of the settlement, and a transport ship landed in the middle of the clearing of the settlement, and after the hatch opened, a black robe nearly three meters tall and four yellow turban wrestlers came down.
The black robe walked up to Liu Yuxin, observed Liu Yuxin through the two round holes on the mask, and suddenly his body trembled:
"Captain of the Guard? You're finally back! ”
Elder: "......"
Liu Yuxin: "......"
This plot is changing too fast, and all the rhetoric that Liu Yuxin thought of was stillborn, and there were only a string of question marks left in her mind.
