Chapter 50: The Attack of the Robots
Whatever the reason, for the humans on Zion's side, the current situation is extremely grim, and the tribulation of life and death is already in front of us.
But in just one hour, the news had not yet spread in the dungeon, and only a very few high-level people knew about it.
Tang Feng and Neo went to see Morpheus and asked him, "Is the news reliable?" How many are there? ”
"The news is reliable!"
Morpheus replied with a solemn expression, "It's the exact news from another ship that went on a mission, the number of squid...... At least half a million. ”
Half a million?
In the original plot, there were only 250,000, which corresponded to the number of humans on Zion's side, and exactly one person corresponded to a squid.
And now, due to Tang Feng's intervention, not only has the time been advanced, but the number has also at least doubled.
You must know that the 250,000 in the original plot cannot be stopped by the defensive forces on Zion's side, which means that Tang Feng alone will have to carry down at least 300,000.
This is just a superficial number, who can guarantee that the Machine Emperor will only send one class, the squid sentinel, and it is likely that there will be more powerful combat robots.
In the original plot, that's because everything is under the control of the Machine Emperor, and the squid alone is enough to handle everything, but now, they are holding the mentality that the two countries are at war, and the degree of attention will definitely be very different.
In this kind of thing, Tang Feng didn't dare to be careless, as the so-called ants bite more elephants, hundreds of thousands of robots that can fly and fight, Wuwu pressed and rushed up, even if the Divine Mind Realm could support for a while, the consumption rate of spiritual power would be super terrifying.
This thing is very easy to calculate, assuming that a robot can only consume Tang Feng's spiritual power of 0.01 in one second, how many hundreds of thousands add up?
Besides, it can't just be a second, a minute, ten minutes, what is the concept of fighting a war of attrition for days and nights?
It is still extremely unwise to use the power of one person against one world at this time.
And now it is a defensive war in the base area, and there is no way to avoid it, and it is not possible to fight guerrilla attacks with them.
"It seems that the Prison Corps will have to be dispatched again."
Although he was prepared for the worst, Tang Feng himself had nothing to worry about, after all, there was no extreme force in this world that could threaten him.
You can come if you want, and you can go if you want.
Next, Tang Feng just asked Morpheus: "What are you going to do, have you already had a meeting?" ”
"Nope."
Morpheus whispered back, "Ten minutes later, the council will be called...... You came back just in time, so I hope you can participate. ”
"It's no problem for me to participate."
Tang Feng spread his hands and said: "But you know, I have a bad temper, and it is very likely that I will beat your supreme commander on the spot, if that guy still doesn't have long eyes and continues to stab me." ”
Commander Locke, that guy is also a stubborn character, and is not very receptive to other people's opinions and suggestions.
Although he had seen a spaceship disappear into thin air, he didn't have to suddenly become a well-behaved and honest person.
"He's not important anymore!"
Morpheus saw it very thoroughly: "500,000 squid, Zion can't stop it, it's the same with him or not, I can only rely on you!" ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Neo, unfortunately, this savior had not yet grown to the same heights as half a year after the original story.
Time was too short, and he had experienced too little.
Neo nodded silently, not minding at all, only rejoicing in his heart because of Tang Feng's timely return.
The sky is falling, and there is a tall top, but fortunately, Tang Feng is more than a head taller than himself.
Then go for it!
Ten minutes later, Tang Feng followed Morpheus, Neo and Trinity, into the spacious but still camp-style council hall.
More than a dozen councilors have already taken their places, and hundreds of key members have also sat in ordinary seats, and the commander-in-chief, Locke, is of course in the first row, and when he saw Tang Feng coming in, his expression was obviously a little abnormal, and a little embarrassed.
In other words, Tang Feng hasn't returned the Vigilance spacecraft yet.
The meeting begins.
The female speaker in her sixties picked up the small mallet and tapped it twice, and the scene was silent before she asked: "The news has been confirmed, 500,000 machine squid...... Commander Locke, what do you think we should do? ”
"Over the years, we have repelled the attacks of the robots, but this time is clearly different, and I think it will be the most serious life-and-death crisis we have ever faced......
Commander Locke stood up and said loudly: "The machine army has avoided our defenses and burrowed into the ground, which means that we can only wait inside Zion, the battlefield is within our home, and everyone must take up arms, take advantage of the favorable terrain, and fight them to the end......"
He has been saying this for a long time, and he must admit that if he does not consider such fantasy factors as Tang Feng and the savior, as a commander who only recognizes science and only talks about military affairs, his views should not be wrong.
At least 500,000 steel machines, corresponding to a maximum of 250,000 flesh and blood, this kind of final homeland defense war, the so-called strategy and tactics are useless, only frontal desperate fighting.
Obviously, the army of machines is going to completely eradicate the resistance of human beings, and robots can produce non-stop on the assembly line, and 500,000 may be just the beginning.
And on Zion's side, if one dies one less, it will definitely be too late to regenerate.
Whether or not we can survive this crisis can only depend on fate in the end.
This is the case, as the supreme commander, he is mentally prepared to die on the battlefield.
With his sonorous and tragic statement, the overall atmosphere in the council hall continued to sink, and everyone had solemn expressions, even revealing faint despair.
This is very different from the original story, because the number of enemies in Tema has doubled!
250,000, there is still confidence to fight with one, and there is hope to preserve a little revolutionary fire;
But this is 500,000 ah, with the most optimistic state of one-on-one consumption, people can still have more than 200,000 left, and clear out the fish that slipped through the net.
There is no such thing as a fluke, unless a miracle happens.
"Don't we have a savior?"
A not-so-impassioned call suddenly sounded from the crowd of ordinary seats.
"Savior?"
As soon as Commander Locke heard this title, he was a little angry, and raised his hand to point at Neo: "Is that him?" Well, even if he is, I think I'll be able to knock him out by rushing over now! Excuse me, how did he save the world? ”
This is really not bragging, Commander Locke has also received a lot of combat training knowledge, and his combat effectiveness on the real side is not weaker than that of Morpheus and others.
And Neo, for now, is only strong in the matrix, and the reality side cannot go beyond the realm of mortals.
In this council chamber, two people are fighting fists, and Neo may not be able to beat Locke, who is in the prime of his life.
Faced with such doubts, Neo looked gloomy and remained silent, because now he really does not have enough confidence to carry the burden of saving mankind.
It's just been half a month since he woke up, and he's even questioning himself: Am I really that person? Could it be a mistake? Tang Feng is obviously more like ...... than me
"I'm not a savior, but I'm better at fighting."
Tang Feng couldn't bear to let our little brother be in such an embarrassing atmosphere and was powerless to refute, after all, his fate had changed a lot because of himself.
It can be said that if we let it go, he may not live to six months later.
It is likely that the value of his existence has been taken no longer by the parent body and the architect.
Therefore, Tang Feng had to stand up and say something: "Commander Locke, personally, I really don't have any bad opinions about you, in many ways, you are competent.
But in the current situation, I have to do something to change your perception of the world. ”
Then he looked around: "Of course, you, everyone on the scene. ”
