Chapter 31 The Being Called God
The meeting place agreed between Secretary of Defense John Keller and Optimus Prime was a relatively empty wasteland.
Anyway, there is no shortage of wasteland in this part of North America, especially on the West Coast, except for the urban areas of a few cities, even the surrounding areas of these large cities have large areas of wasteland.
In addition, according to Tony, there is a military base nearby, and the other party can mobilize enough troops in the shortest possible time to conduct an inspection of this area and arrange an ambush circle by the way, and catch all the aliens if necessary.
"It could also be annihilation. ”
Of course, there is also this possibility, but it can be learned from the film that John Keller is not a radical martial artist, and even if he wants to go to war, he must first figure out the specific situation on the Transformers side.
"How's it going?"
Some lights could already be seen in the distance ahead, but it was already the middle of the night, and in the wilderness far from the town, the visibility was very low without special lighting equipment.
In such an environment, the two sides still have to negotiate, and some preparations must be made.
This made Ethan see the lights in the distance when they were far away, and the other party prepared enough lighting equipment to make the area as bright as daytime, and at the same time reminded them: we are here, don't look elsewhere.
"How?"
"Armored forces have surrounded the area. ”
Tony's armor has a variety of detection devices, and if you release some small detection equipment, the detection range will become even larger.
However, there is no need, it is completely conceivable that there must be more troops on standby in the distance, and air support will be mobilized if necessary.
"What should we do?"
Sam looked a little nervous, and when he was nervous, he would start babbling, and he sat quietly in the back, not thinking anything wrong with the Autobots.
Suddenly, he heard Tony say that the neighborhood was almost surrounded by American regiments, and he could bomb this place back and forth at any time with frenzied firepower, and he realized that this trip was not such a wonderful and easy journey.
"I mean, should we get off early?"
Ethan didn't look back, just looked at Sam behind him through the rearview mirror.
"You don't have to think too much, the other party won't do it so easily. ”
Without figuring out how many 'troops' Optimus Prime they have, or how many follow-up troops they have, the Minister of Defense does not dare to attack casually.
And Ethan had already seen a group of people standing in the clearing in the distance, the leader of the group was dressed in a suit and his hair was meticulously arranged, he was standing at the front of all the vehicles, and this did not look like a war.
The Minister of Defense showed great sincerity, and of course there was a possibility that this was a decoy to make Optimus Prime and others relax their vigilance.
However, Tony has detected that there is no close ambush, and if the other party moves, the Secretary of Defense will definitely accompany the funeral - Mr. John Keller should have no intention of putting his life into it.
As the distance between the two sides became closer and closer, the people around John Keller also looked very nervous, although there were several cars coming towards him, but at this time, John Keller had already learned some information about the other party from the personnel of the seventh district: an alien similar to a mechanical life form, and had the ability to shapeshift.
Several soldiers behind him who were responsible for protecting the Minister of Defense unconsciously clenched the weapons in their hands, although they did not raise the muzzle of their guns, but they were highly concentrated, and they could complete all the actions of raising their guns, aiming and shooting in one second.
Thanks to the soldiers who had fought against the Transformers and survived, they already knew that large-caliber armor-piercing shells could cause damage to this kind of mechanical life, so all the weapons and equipment brought out this time were this kind of weaponry.
Optimus Prime and the others stopped not far in front of John Keller, and then transformed from a heavy truck into a tall robot under the incredible gaze of the group.
"I am Optimus Prime, the leader of the Bo faction. ”
After a brief introduction of themselves, it is time for both sides to get to the point, and the things discussed by Optimus Prime and John Keller are equivalent to the initial understanding of two countries or powers, and it is impossible to expect to negotiate something immediately as soon as the negotiations begin.
Coupled with the fact that the maniac party has attacked the US military several times before, the trust of human beings in the Transformers is very low, and they don't understand the difference between the mad faction and the Bo faction, and the Transformers are the same in the eyes of humans.
So the negotiations didn't go well at the beginning, and at this time everyone noticed Ethan, who didn't know when he was standing next to Optimus Prime.
"Who is this......?"
John Keller kept looking at Ethan, and in his eyes he was a tall and handsome young man. There's nothing strange about that. But when a young man suddenly appears on such an occasion and is also standing next to an alien robot, it is very interesting: what is the identity of this young man? Could it be a spy lurking among humans?
"You can call me Ethan, I'm just a passerby. ”
"Young man, you'd better make it clear......"
Suddenly interjected was Reggie Simmons, an agent of the 7th District who had a lot of scenes in the original film, this person thought it was funny when watching the film, but in fact, a guy with such a personality is not likable in reality, and the tone of his speech is very offensive.
Ethan didn't have much feeling for him, but when this guy interjected and threatened himself in a very tuggy tone, his mood suddenly became irritable, and he almost slapped his face with a fireball.
"Ethan is from another civilization, and he actually suggested that I make contact with you. Because it seems to us that you humans are not ready to come into contact with other civilizations in the universe......"
Alien?
Simmons wanted to continue to say something, but suddenly he didn't know where to start? He was a little confused that he couldn't understand what was going on today, aliens didn't want money to come out, and aliens weren't cabbage, could they still be wholesale?
As a good agent, his first reaction was 'this thing is impersonation', after all, Ethan is no different from an earthling, no matter how you look at it.
Defense Secretary John Keller thought the same thing, but he wouldn't be as obvious as Simmons, and he greeted Ethan very politely.
"I wonder what kind of planet Mr. Ethan is from?"
"It was a world full of water, and the living resources were very poor, so after we grew up and accumulated a certain amount of capital, we would choose to leave there and venture into the vast universe, while looking for more living resources. ”
Ethan wasn't lying, just not the universe.
Optimus Prime was also curious about what kind of civilization Ethan came from, and when he heard this, he felt a little similar to the situation of the Transformers, but he was inexplicably more intimate.
Of course, Cybertron was tossed by themselves and could not continue to live, and the Transformers had to wander in the universe, while Ethan's planet sounded like there were too few living resources, so they had to wander around the universe in search of more living resources.
John Keller's first reaction when he heard Ethan's words was not very good, his first thought was that this was a civilization composed of a group of pirate-like raiders, or were these so-called 'adults' who went out on adventures were actually a group of scouts, and when they found a planet with enough resources suitable for survival, they would lead their people to seize the planet?
As Minister of Defense, he can't help but think about this aspect, which is his job in the first place.
Agent Simon on the side didn't think too much about it, he still suspected that Ethan, an alien, was a fake at all, and he wanted to force this guy to tell the truth through some special means.
However, this is not the right occasion, and in the end he can only squeeze two sentences, maybe it can anger this young man and make him show some flaws?
"It's a good edit, but it sounds a lot like an Age of Discovery. ”
Ethan smiled at Simmons, he knew what this guy had in mind, it was nothing more than doubting his identity, and this little misunderstanding could be easily solved.
He is not the kind of character who thinks that the other party is a small person, and just shouts in front of him, not to mention that he realizes that this world is actually a good choice: hasn't he been thinking about finding a few more logistics worlds?
The technological level of the earth here is only average, but the upper limit is very high, after all, there is cybertron technology, and even the technology of long-distance teleportation through technological equipment.
The most important thing is that you can get in touch with the top level of a country from the beginning, and no matter how you can take over the power of a country, many things will be easier.
The premise is that you must prove that you are an alien, and that you are the kind that is so strong that the other party does not dare to offend.
Raising his hand slightly, now Ethan released a small spell is the same as drinking water and eating, there is no need to make any preliminary preparations, and there is no need to recite a spell for half a day.
But with his movements, the purple energy light ribbon around him, the mysterious runes that appeared in mid-air, and the magic array emitting purple light under his feet would make people realize for the first time that this was a mysterious side power called magic.
With Ethan's movements, Simmons, who had always questioned Ethan's identity, was entangled in a cloud of energy, unable to move and left the ground little by little.
"There has always been no shortage of races from other civilizations in the universe on Earth, and there is no shortage of beings like me who have some special abilities. It's just that many years ago, you humans would not have called an existence like ours aliens. ”
Ethan paused, flipped his slightly raised hand slightly, and then slowly pressed downward. With his movements, Simmons, who had been lifted high, fell back to the ground.
"At that time, humans would call beings like us gods!"
