Chapter 39: Mecha

Instead of waiting for the missile, Lifus waited for a voice message. That's a private channel for seven groups.

"Hey! Is anyone there? ”

Someone said a word in the channel.

Lifus hurriedly turned on the microphone on the monkey watch.

"Peregrine falcons? Is that you? Lifus asked, he heard the familiar voice for a long time, but he was not sure that the battle had been so tragic that the chances of surviving it were very slim.

"Team leader? You're alive? Did I hear me right? The voice on the other side was surprised.

"That's right, it's me." After all this series of frustrating events, what could be more exhilarating than recovering a comrade-in-arms who survived the catastrophe? "Where are you now? I'm going to look for you. ”

"I'll send you the location right away, but are you sure you can come over?"

"Don't worry, I have a helicopter."

Lifus put down the gun in his hand and restarted the engine.

The peregrine falcon was located at the southern foot of the Karakoram Mountains, not far from where their group had been ambushed.

Lifus landed the helicopter in a flat col and hiked into the mountains, where he found the peregrine falcon, which was distilling snow water from the waterproof layer of a military backpack.

On a fire that burned red charcoal was an aluminum lunch box, and the water in it was boiling and boiling, and the water vapor condensed into water droplets on the lining of the military backpack covered on it, and flowed down the folds on the lining of the backpack to the water bag below, so as to form a simple field water purifier.

The peregrine falcon was in a bad state, he had typhoid fever, severe altitude sickness, his eyes were sunken deep in his sockets, and he coughed incessantly.

It's hard to imagine that he was a beautiful French lad a month ago, and of course the nationality here refers to the nationality of the IVF donor, just as Lifus considers himself Chinese, in fact, there is no country in the world since they were born.

Lifus picked up the oxygen cylinder on the ground and shook it, obviously, empty.

He stooped into the peregrine falcon's rudimentary tent, made of twigs and blades of grass, with a bed made out of two layers of trunks, and a mess of hay on it.

Livers sat on the hay, took a rice ball from his coat pocket and threw it to the peregrine falcon.

"How did you escape?" Lifus gets straight to the point, involving the dignity of the military, and he has to first establish the facts and confirm whether his previous suspicions are accurate, so as to set the depth and tone of the next conversation.

The peregrine falcon reached out to take the rice ball, but did not eat, he lowered his head, hesitated for a long time, and finally said, "I'm sorry, team leader, I became a deserter." ”

"I was frightened, the enemy was too strong, I couldn't fight, I wanted to escape from that hellish battlefield, I always thought that I was left with my own survival in the seventh group these days, I was going to fend for myself here, but I didn't expect you to be alive, team leader, I didn't mean anything else to send you a location, team leader, shoot me! I wish I died at your hands. ”

The peregrine falcon's voice was calm, and it seemed that he had really put life and death on the line.

"Actually, I guessed a long time ago, when I was trapped in the cave with the cockroach, I found that your location has been moving away in the opposite direction, but I still said that you are just missing when I send a distress message, and if I can be rescued at that time, I will not hesitate to shoot you in the name of a soldier."

"But now, we're just two wretched creatures trying in every possible way to survive, and we're dying, and the cockroach is dead, and he's dead, and he's got my life in it, and he's put his own life in it. In this way, your choice at that time cannot be said to be wrong, such a one-sided battle is no different from being slaughtered, so why make those senseless sacrifices? Moreover, our cause is not necessarily just. ”

Since learning of Achilles' conspiracy, Lifus's views and perspectives on many things have changed.

"Our cause is not necessarily just? What do you mean? "Something that the peregrine falcon has to defend even if it is shot, that's his faith.

"Achilles deceived us, and he deceived the whole world. The Chosen Project is its conspiracy, it created us to use us to control humanity, and the civilians in the safe zone are captured by it for human experimentation, and its purpose is to implant all human brains into chips and become its puppets. ”

"It is also developing super-intelligent robots, and if it is successfully developed, human beings will have no value to be used again, and they will likely be extinct."

Lifus told the truth directly, without giving the peregrine falcon a buffer time to prepare in his heart.

However, the peregrine falcon may have been a little surprised, but he did not have the slightest doubt about the veracity of what Lifus said, after all, he trusted his leader more than Achilles.

"By the way, I remember that when I escaped, the cockroach fired several electromagnetic pulse bombs, and then I saw a place that seemed to have a spatial collapse, and then a mechanical arm was revealed, about ten meters above the ground, I thought I was hallucinating because of the explosion, but now I think it is probably the real thing, and I escaped because of the opportunity created by those few electromagnetic pulse bombs."

The peregrine falcon recalled the strange phenomenon it had seen that day, the transparent space collapsing downward, and a metallic arm peeking out of the air.

"Robotic arm? Space collapse? Have we encountered an alien civilization? "Lifus doesn't believe that an alliance representing the highest level of Earth technology will be able to shrink the space.

"I wonder if there is such a possibility, a smart mecha more than ten meters high, with an invisible coating on the surface that can reflect or absorb light, was damaged by the EMP bomb to its internal network circuit or core chip, causing the invisible coating on the arm to fail and be exposed."

"Moreover, we didn't find out where the enemy was during the whole battle, they don't seem to be afraid of radiation, nor are they afraid of neutron streams, so maybe they really are a battle group composed of a group of intelligent mechs."

The peregrine falcon analyzed it as appropriate, there were meticulous reasoning and arguments, and there were also bold guesses and imaginations, and there were no mediocre talents in the Chosen Army.

Lifus remembered Lawrence's post on the Fruit Shell forum, which was the stage when the Alliance began to conduct human experiments a little blatantly, and it seemed to be successful, that is, at that time, that is, more than a year ago, they had just completed full control of the human brain, but after just over a year, they had developed such a high-performance intelligent mecha, how could this be possible? The Big Bang of Technology?

The ambush battle encountered by the Seven Teams is likely to be the result of the Alliance's just successful development of this intelligent mecha, and they can't wait to compare the Seven Teams, which have the strongest combat effectiveness in the Heavenly Chosen Army, and the members of the Seven Groups fell victim to this experiment.
