Chapter 12: Stalemate

"So, are they really our God, our creator?"

"Huh! This is also the most fundamental reason why they always look down on earthlings! Xu Yunzhi said: "But they forgot that we earthlings have taken our own path of development, and they have no reason to dictate to us!" ”

"I'm afraid they won't accept this fact for a while," Ms. Zhang said, "which is why they have never subconsciously wanted to be with us as an equal." To them, we are like animals in a laboratory! ”

"Colonel Shu has already seen the clues from your failed space expedition!" Xu Yunzhi said: "So he used the example of Napoleon rescuing the Russian officers and soldiers in the ice lake after the victory of the Battle of the Three Emperors to condemn them!" ”

"That was really a tragic ......" Zhang Jingyi couldn't help but feel sad when she thought of the fiasco of that space expedition, and remembered that Claire's helmet was broken and finally died of the poison of the universe.

"But this time, it's time for them to wake up!" Xu Yunzhi said.

"Hard to say!" Zhang Jingyi disagreed: "People's habitual thinking is difficult to change, and Jones people are the same. I remember once when Jones Lulu was building blocks and explaining organic life to us, she said that they and we are both intelligent life forms that are produced from inorganic matter to organic matter in nature, and they are the final form of organic life in the universe. Since they knew this, they should have been with us as equals, but apparently they didn't. ”

"Well, what you said makes sense," Xu Yunzhi nodded and said, "Maybe in their eyes, we earthlings are the backup gene pool of their Joneses, that's all!" ”

"I think that's it!"

While they were chatting, Xiang Zidan came over riding an Emily around his neck.

"What are the two sisters talking about, so focused?"

"We're talking about the Jones people," Xu Yunzhi said, looked at Emily, and smiled: "It's still Zidan who is serious and responsible, and rides an Emily around his neck all day long...... Treat your sister as a mount, wouldn't you, Emily? ”

"Huh? Sister Yunzhi, how did you arrange Sister Zhen? Xiang Zidan saw that Xu Yunzhi didn't have Sister Zhen by his side, so he asked.

"Me?" Xu Yunzhi said with a smile: "Tang Liqing and I usually hand over the little guy to Zheng Xiaojie. ”

"I'm dizzy!" Xiang Zidan said: "It turns out that I am the only one who is so honest!" ”

The sound of artillery outside the city finally stopped, and the ground no longer shook with the shelling. As soon as the cannon fire stopped, the surroundings fell silent. As soon as the surroundings were quiet, the dungeon seemed to be very lively, and the people were still immersed in the joy of victory, and refused to disperse for a long time.

"Let's hurry up and rest!" Xu Yunzhi said: "I don't know what will happen tomorrow!" ”

"Shifts have been arranged," Xiang Zidan said, "and tomorrow may be a little troublesome." Just now, the Jones people mainly shelled the rubble pile above the dungeon, and the mines and traps laid by Captain Shao and the others may have basically been destroyed. ”

"What then?" Xu Yunzhi was a little anxious when he heard this: "Is it too late to arrange overnight?" ”

"It's definitely too late," Xiang Zidan said, "But don't worry, Professor Xu!" I was just telling Liang Jingjing that they destroyed the defenses above the dungeon, so don't blame us for being ruthless! Tomorrow they still want to climb up, and we will bombard people directly! ”

Xu Yunzhi didn't understand, Xiang Zidan said today's battle situation, and told her that they just bombed away the Jones mothership today, and did not fire at the attacking Jones crowd: "They destroyed the minefield and traps above the dungeon, if they attack again, our ion cannon will be aimed at their crowd!" ”

"I see!" Xu Yunzhi understood: "In this way, I hope Samantha will be smarter, otherwise their casualties tomorrow will be even greater!" ”

"Let them come!" Zhang Jingyi said: "Since they treat us as monkeys in the laboratory, let them taste the power of monkeys...... But then again, if it weren't for the dungeon they helped build, our fate would be in jeopardy! ”

"You can say that, but it's not all!" Xu Yunzhi said: "I checked the information, and when the gate of the dungeon was built, the earthlings and Jones had already begun to have conflicts. The Jones people helped design the city gates, which were all made of metal, but later because of the conflict between the two sides, the earth changed the manufacturing plan of the city gate by itself, and did not tell the Jones people. It can be seen that there were still smart people on our side at that time, and they took precautions, considering that the metal door could not stop the Jones people's ion cannon, and changed it to a stone structure door. ”

"That's why they're so reckless!" Zhang Jingyi groaned and said, "What offensive methods will they take tomorrow?" ……”

"I wish Samantha had been smarter," Xu Yunzhi said again.

Samantha, of course, doesn't "put it smarter". The Jones who had only killed seven people in the Hundred Years' War were still only five of them killed, so they despised the earthlings as deep in their bones. But this time, the extremely despised earthlings actually killed hundreds of Jones people at once, and also made the Jones people lose the commander of their army, Jones Moon, which cannot but be said to be a great shame.

Such a great shame is impossible without shame.

The next day, the vigilant earthlings were surprised not to see a single Jones man.

"Are they scared?" Liang Jingjing asked Xiang Zidan.

"I'm afraid it won't," Xiang Zidan said, "Maybe I'm thinking of some new way!" ”

From morning to afternoon, not a single Jones man appeared, not even the Jones mothership that had been hovering in the distance was invisible, which surprised the earthlings.

"They're leaving?" Shao Youping saw that there was indeed no trace of the Joneses, so he suggested going out and laying some mine traps: "If they don't come, shouldn't we take this opportunity to prepare again?" ”

"No way!" Xu Yunzhi said: "Don't go out, the Jones people can be invisible, maybe they are hiding somewhere and waiting!" ”

"Is that really the case?" Someone asked.

"Colonel Shu said it, but I haven't seen it," Shao Youping said, "Why don't we send a few fewer people and go out of the city tentatively first?" ”

"Forget it, Captain Shao, you can't set up many mine traps with a few people out."

"At least we have to show the Jones people, we can't just cower in the dungeon and dare not go out of the city, right?"

Since they all said so, Xu Yunzhi is not good to insist on it. She could only order all observation points to keep a close watch and not let go of any suspicious movements, and at the same time ordered all fire points to be ready at any time, and once they found movement, they would immediately open fire to cover those leaving the city.

Shao Youping selected ten people, she originally planned to lead the team out of the city by herself, but Xu Yunzhi did not allow it: "You bring another team of people to stand by at any time, if the people who go out of the city are attacked, you go out immediately and cover the people in front of you to withdraw!" ”

"Okay!" Shao Youping agreed, and she ran to an observation point on a high place to look out. The field of vision was very broad, and I saw the heat wave rolling outside, and the air seemed to be burning: "Just this terrible weather, the Jones people are lurking in the wild?" ”

She looked to the side and saw ten men out of the city appear. They looked around, walking slowly and cautiously. Gradually, they were already two hundred meters away from the city gate, and began to squat down and dig the ground with sappers and shovels, ready to lay mines.

Shao Youping retracted his gaze and began to look at those who were originally going to respond, hesitating whether he should send more people out, Xiang Zidan came. When she saw Shao Youping on it, she shouted, "Captain Shao, is there any movement outside?" ”

"There's no movement," Shao Youping agreed absentmindedly, as if talking to himself, "Send some more people out, it should be no problem......

"You sent people out of town?" Xiang Zidan heard Shao Youping's words and asked in surprise. She asked, as she lowered Emily from her neck and prepared to go up to Shao Youping's side.

"yes!" Only then did Shao Youping notice Xiang Zidan: "Professor Xu said that he was afraid that the Jones people might be lurking, and on such a hot day, I can't see it......"

"Call them back!" Xiang Zidan shouted: "The Jones people's body protection is not only invisible, but also heat-insulated!" Have you forgotten that Colonel Shu is not afraid of heat or radiation? ”

Shao Youping listened to Xiang Zidan's words, and his body was hot. She hurriedly turned around and looked out from the observation port, and found that the ten people who were digging and laying mines just now had all fallen to the ground. She grabbed the binoculars and looked again, and saw that the necks of the ten people who fell to the ground were all red---- and all ten of them had their necks cut!

Visions were also discovered at other observation points, and all earthlings who saw this scene were stunned. No one was seen, there was no movement, and the ten people who left the city had their necks cut off in an instant, and blood flowed all over the ground.

"I'm damned!" Shao Youping beat his head and cried. It's no wonder that Shao Youping was originally more cautious, but after the first battle, the primitive weapons they arranged actually shined, so she was a little too excited......

"Don't cry, Captain Shao!" In the conference room, an impromptu emergency meeting was held. Xu Yunzhi said: "I was also at fault, I didn't insist on not letting people out of the city. ”

"What about the bones of the ten sisters?" Shao Youping's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and he asked with a sob.

"People are already dead, and we can't take risks with the living for the sake of people who are already dead," Xu Yunzhi said helplessly......

"Order all the firing points," Tang Liqing said, "If there is nothing to do, shoot a few shots into the clearing, although their protective bodies can be stealth, they can't protect against bullets!" ”

"Yes, that's the way!" Zhang Jingyi said: "Anyway, we have enough ammunition. ”

This time, the earthlings no longer dared to go out of the city. Similarly, the Jones could not get in, and the two sides were at a stalemate. Tang Liqing's proposal was very effective, and the earthlings shot indiscriminately outside from time to time, although they failed to kill and injure the Jones, but at least they were taboo and did not dare to get too close to the dungeon. In this way, for ten whole days, the two sides did not exchange fire again.
