CHAPTER XXIX
I don't know if the events went as I wished, my sleep returned to normal, and there were no more annoying scenes of war to disturb me or torment me. The incident of Wu Kexiong's attack on Bobo Kanshi has made dramatic progress, and the chairman of the NPC Committee specially sought out Mr. Elon Siming, who was in seclusion in Celta and respected in the hearts of Saipan people, as a lobbyist in order to resolve the contradiction between him and Bobo Kanshi. More importantly, this incident eases the antagonism between Saipan and the earthlings, since a series of events, there has been a clear gap between the Saipan and the earthlings, many earthlings will hide far away when they see the Saipan, and the Saipan people are the same, unless they are old friends who have been friends for many years, there is unlikely to be normal communication between the two races. And Ilonsimin has educated countless people in Celta, and he is Boron Kanshi's teacher, he should be the best person to mediate, and Boron Kanshi rarely agreed to this matter and is willing to sit down and talk.
The two sides agreed to hold the meeting in the No. 1 hall of the municipal government, and the participants were two committee members, Boron Qima and Yu Chengfei, on the Celta side, and the director of the joint logistics department, Xia Shuimu, Boron Haikechengsi, and Wu Kexiong, as well as some citizen representatives, and I was also fortunate to attend. On the side of the Fourth Fleet were Borbo Kanshi and Borcomat and a group of escorts, and according to the negotiations, there were only five members of the escort and twenty mechs.
The day was gray, and Celta's usually majestic white clouds filled the entire sky as if they had been crumpled and torn apart and then sent to a blender to be fully mixed and then sprayed out. The sun seemed to be frightened by the misery of the white clouds, and it cried and covered its eyes with its hands, unable to bear to witness the state of the white clouds, and finally simply hid. I arrived in Hall 1 early, and the lights in the hall were so bright in the dim light outside that my heart lit up a little brighter.
The early arrivals were citizen representatives, about 50 people, and it seemed that the people were full of hope and confidence in the talks, and they all wanted to see the end of the current chaotic state of talks as soon as possible. In the middle of the hall, an oval main negotiation table was arranged, and four rows of chairs were placed on each side of the long side of the table, about 5 meters empty. We, the general audience, sat in the auditorium, separated by a curtain wall, the nearest twenty meters from the main table. The representatives of the citizens were laughing and laughing and eagerly waiting, but the main man was not in a hurry until ten minutes before the start of the meeting.
On Celta's side, a group of people led by Boron Qima and Yu Chengfei surrounded an old man with pale skin and wrinkled faces, who should be Boron Kanshi's teacher, Elon Siming. The old man is already very old, the Ice Prism Star Man can generally live to 600 years old, and he should be 550 years old depending on his aging degree, which can be seen from the folds on his face, his wrinkles are like disgusting gray worms crawling on his face, giving people an impact that cannot be imagined, far from having smooth and translucent skin like ordinary Ice Prism Star people. Modern humans have changed their aging genes, and at the end of their lifespan, the aging of the human body will be more severe than when the genes have not been changed. Before the genes are changed, the wrinkles on the face of the longest-lived old man will not exceed 0.5 centimeters, while modern earthlings can easily reach 1 centimeter, and the longer the race, the more serious the situation, and the longest-lived of the five races in the outer eight regions can reach 2 centimeters. After changing genes, people pay while gaining life
It is an ugly face that cannot bear to witness at the end of its life, nature is always fair, there are gains and losses. People call this phenomenon lifespan regurgitation, and the time for us earthlings to enter lifespan regurgitation is also different, and some will be 360 years old. But some people will have a backlash when they reach the age of 300, these people will experience disgust when they witness their miserable situation every day at the end of their lives for nearly 100 years, and some people will commit suicide if they can't stand it.
It's the first time I've seen an Ice-Prism person of this age, and I've been prepared for it but I've been scared, so maybe it's better to see more. At the same time, I also understood why the Ice Prism people couldn't live in seclusion when they reached a certain age, but their appearance at this time was too scary. A thought suddenly popped into my heart, will I be untreated by young people when I am old in the future? What will happen to my favorite when she gets old!
Ilonsiming sat at the main negotiation table and said a word to Boron Siming from time to time, Ilonsiming sat in the middle of the long table, and Boron Siming and Yu Chengfei sat next to him on the left and right. The rest of the entourage sat in their seats behind the main table. Not a minute after they sat down, Wu Kexiong and his party came over, and they sat on the right hand side of Yu Chengfei at the main table. And the most important group of Boron Khamit arrived a minute before the appointed time. Borbo Kanshi and Borkomart strode in with five team members and twenty mechs, their short legs but fast frequency, walking no slower than us earthlings.
After seeing Elon Siming, Borpo Kanshi and Borkomat quickened their pace to him. Borco Matla bowed and greeted: "Teacher, are you okay!" And Borbokan actually only said: "Teacher! "Say no more.
The wrinkles on Ilonsiming's face were like the wings of a bird flapping a few times, and the wrinkles on his forehead were deeply squeezed together, and the old man tried to open his eyes wide and swept the two students in front of him and said, "I'm old, but you guys are out of luck." ”
Borcomat smiled and Bobokan was silent, and the two were led by the staff to sit on the other side of the long table, while the rest of the staff sat on the chairs behind the main table. Seeing that everyone had arrived, Borqima raised his voice and began to preside over the meeting. Borkima's opening remarks were very brief, and he also knew that he was not the protagonist of the meeting, and after a brief introduction of the people on both sides and the goals of the meeting, he handed over the topic to Elon Siming. The old man took a deep breath and began his persuasion.
"Two generals, I also know something about Celta's current situation. The two of them came to Celta not far away (1) to investigate the explosion of the photoelectric plant, and it was very hard. The investigation of the optoelectronic plant incident is a business matter, and I will not talk about it. Let me mention a little personal here. Wu Kexiong visited your office a few days ago, and for you soldiers, I am very angry that you soldiers were approached for no reason, and I understand it. But considering that there is a reason for the incident, it is inappropriate for you to forcibly arrest Wu Kexin in advance, so let's settle this matter! For Wu Kexiong, their general series will be canceled! Don't report to the alliance either. ”
The old man's speech was slow, and his words were clear and not at all like a person who was about to enter the wood, and after listening to it, Boron Qima and Yu Chengfei looked at each other and smiled bitterly, their original intention was mainly to let the old man coordinate the investigation of the explosion accident of the optoelectronic plant, and the results of the investigation were too unreasonable and too unfavorable to the earthlings. The old man didn't refuse when he raised the matter to the old man before, but now he obviously didn't want to get involved
In this matter, as the old man said, this is a business matter.
"But Teacher, they attacked us." Borcomat reminded in a deep voice.
"I don't need to say anything about what's happening in your office!"
I was wearing a stand-up vision and I could see the burning look in the old man's eyes from my angle, and Borcomart seemed to be hurt by the look and lowered his head. Borpokan was still expressionless, and since he arrived at the venue, he seemed to have become a supporting character, and it was Borcomat who was talking all the time.
The scene suddenly fell into a dead silence, and the old man's words clearly expressed his disagreement with the statement of the Boro Kanshi side about Wu Kexiong's attack on them, and he almost did not express his position directly. From time to time, Borcomat looked at his commander, waiting for his statement.
Bobo Kanshi suddenly stood up with a "rub", waved his hand to the subordinates sitting in the back row, and said, "Catch Wu Kexiong, the prisoner of Tongji!" ”
The five team members who led the team: "Ah!" sighed, but only stood up and was stunned on the spot, and only one team member hesitated to step forward to arrest Wu Kexiong, who was close at hand. Borcomat reacted, and hurriedly waved to the team members and mecha who were about to come forward and propped up the table with both hands to persuade Bobokhanshi: "Commander, we are here to negotiate. ”
Boro Kanshi's eyes flashed at this time, a cold light appeared in his eyes, and he grabbed Borcomat's throat with both hands, staring at him fiercely: "I am the commander, obey the order." ”
Boro Kanshi pushed Borcomat to the ground, and Borokemat hit his head on the chair, holding his throat with both hands, with a painful expression, and the Symbian team members and mechs finally rushed firmly towards Wu Kexiong and them under Borbo Kanshi's order.
"Big brother, let's go!" Zhao Yunru and Du Sheng saw that the situation was not good, and immediately got up and shouted. Several chairs flew up and smashed into the rushing Symbians. Each of the five members of the team was armed with a laser gun, and the mechs were not ready for battle, and there were no orders in their programs, and the muzzles of their guns were always facing the ground in the face of humans.
A few more chairs flew towards the Saipan team, but it was Fei Lin and the others who also got up and rushed out with Wu Kexiong, and at the same time threw a few chairs that could be used as weapons the most. Taking advantage of the gap between the Symbian players dodging, Zhao Yunru and Du Sheng had already rushed to the front of the Symbian players, and they were agile and tall, and they quickly solved the two and became entangled with the remaining two team members. Zhao Yunru held the opponent's right arm holding the gun, although the Saipan man was short, his strength was very large, and Zhao Yunru was on par, and neither of the two could endure anyone. Du Sheng and his opponent had already fallen to the ground and rolled into a ball, leaving only one team member who was smashed by a succession of chairs and even lost his gun.
"Stop, stop!" Xia Shuimu saw that the situation was out of control, and shouted while letting the team members in the venue step forward.
"Whoosh!" A brilliant light shone the audience, and people saw a person fall to the ground at the end of the light, and Zhao Yunru was stunned to look at the laser gun in his hand and the person who was shot by the laser gun, his eyes were full of panic. And with the stand-up sight, I seemed to see the sly eyes of the team member who was confronting Zhao Yunru just now, when he was shooting.
"Invincible Begins with Sacrificing to the Ancestors"
