Chapter Twenty-Five: A Not-so-Pleasant Communication

After a moment of silence, the voices on the other side resounded. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

(The rest of the conversation omits the noise, you just need to know that there is still noise in the communication.) οΌ‰

"Christy? How can you use Retina's communicator to talk, and she's right next to you? Where are you now, and how is the disturbance so severe? Before the words fell, Zhou Xin saw that the communication panel that was originally glowing with blue light began to change, and a figure appeared on the panel, but because the picture was a little distorted, Zhou Xin couldn't see the specific appearance of the characters on the screen.

Before Christy could reply, an exclamation came from the other side, "Who are you?" Why with Ralph? What about Retina? Are you the ones who appear on the surface of the planet? At this point, there was another commotion behind the man, and the man on the screen had to turn his head first to calm their emotions.

After a while, the commotion stopped again, and the man turned his head and continued, "Who are you?" Why did it start attacking us from 5,000 years ago? Won't you let us go until now? What did you do to Christy and Rhettina? Then he threatened, "Let the two of them go, we can't beat you, but we can still make you pay a price." ”、

Zhou Xin suddenly couldn't laugh or cry, "This-did you misunderstand something?" The translator translated his words into Atlantean in real time.

"What are you, you can speak Atlantean." The man across from him was a little surprised, and then he angrily asked, "Did you do anything to Christy?" Tell you, if you dare to hurt them, even if I lose the entire base, I will make you pay a heavy price. ”

"That's not the case, Grandpa Dean, they didn't do anything to me, and they're not our enemies." Seeing that things seemed to be going in a bad direction, Christy hurriedly explained.

However, the person on the other side obviously didn't believe Christy's words, and he became even more angry, "Did you brainwash her, why did she speak for you?" ”

At this time, it was Christy's turn to cry and laugh, "No, they really didn't do anything to me, in fact, they also came out of the earth." ”

At this time, the picture on the screen finally stabilized slightly, and Zhou Xin and the others finally saw the opposite side.

It was a spirited old man, with a wrinkled face, a not-so-long goatee on his chin, and, of course, the most distinctive feature of the Atlanteans, the pointed ears. But these are not the most important things, the most striking thing on his face is his eyes. The old man's eyes were completely different from Christie's, his pupils were deep purple, and his eyes were deeply immersed in the eye sockets, Zhou Xin looked at it, the old man's eyes seemed to have a suction, and Zhou Xin's gaze was deeply attracted.

Zhou Xin looked at his eyes attentively, and it took a long time before he finally came back to his senses, and at this time, he saw the angry look on the old man's face, and with the old man's eyes, Zhou Xin couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

However, it seems that Christy does not feel like this, and just when Zhou Xin came out of her mind, she began to introduce Zhou Xin and their origin to the old man. As Christy introduced her, the old man's angry face gradually subsided, and then a suspicious look appeared on his face, but although he was suspicious, he did not interrupt Christy's words.

After Christy's brief introduction, the old man finally spoke, and he asked suspiciously, "Are you sure what you said is true?" They can't lie to you, right? ”

"Noβ€”" Hearing the old man's questioning, Christy's tone became uncertain, "They also showed me a lot of evidence to prove their identity, and I didn't find any flaws in that evidence." ”

"Hmph." The old man said in an unkind tone, "Won't they make up some evidence to mislead you?" Do you choose to believe just their one-sided words? You know, we've only fought them, and we don't know if they have any other means. ”

"This-" Zhou Xin finally couldn't stand it anymore, and he interrupted, "Old man, are you too careful, if we really have bad intentions, then can we still let Christy communicate with you here?" ”

"Who knows if you're doing it for other purposes." The old man said stubbornly, "Maybe you tried to lure us out with Christy because you couldn't find our place." ”

"It seems that what the old man said makes sense." Ralph said stupidly.

"......" Zhou Xin glanced at Ralph, he thought for a long time, and then sighed deeply, "It seems that you are very wary of the original enemy, and there is no way to clarify our identity to you by relying on Christy alone." I still understand your thoughts, so let's not discuss our issues for now. I have a more important question here that I need your help with. ”

"Whatever the problem, I'm not going to help." The old man refused without hesitation, "I won't believe anything you say until I find out who you are." ”

"And what if it's about Retina?" Zhou Xin continued, and through the conversation just now, he guessed that Christy's mother should be called Retina.

"Retina?" The old man became excited, "What did you do to her?!" ”

"Thisβ€”" Speaking of Christie's mother, Zhou Xin was suddenly a little embarrassed, and he was speechless. And seeing Zhou Xin's expression, the old man immediately became angry, he kept asking loudly, and the words were mixed with cursing, in this case, Zhou Xin was a little panicked, and the originally organized language was forgotten at once, he stammered and wanted to explain, but the more he explained, the more he couldn't explain.

At this time, Christy came to the rescue, and she told the old man about her mother's situation. However, after saying that, the old man became even more angry.

"That's what you mean by not having bad intentions towards us?!" He angrily accused, "Could it be that Retina's current situation is your kindness to us?!" ”

"It was a complete accident." Zhou Xin tried to explain, "I just wanted to invite her to come up for a conversation, but I didn't expect such an accident." ”

"Use a combat machine to please?!" He continued to exclaim, "Or is this your civilized tradition of hospitality?!" ”

Suddenly Zhou Xin was speechless, and his face showed an apologetic look and wanted to continue to explain, but after struggling for a long time, he suddenly felt that no matter how he explained, it seemed useless, so Zhou Xin was embarrassed and froze. On the other side of the screen, the old man was staring angrily at Zhou Xin for a reasonable explanation, and both sides of the communicator fell silent at the same time, and the atmosphere suddenly fell into a stalemate.

The strange atmosphere lasted for a while, and Christy saw that the situation was not good, so she came out again to relieve the siege.

"Grandpa Dean, don't be angry yet, the top priority is to save my mother first, she has been in a coma for a long time, I don't know if there will be any accidents." She pleaded anxiously.

After listening to Christie's words, the old man gave her a blank look, and after thinking about it, he felt that the current situation seemed to be true, so the old man's mood calmed down a little, and then he spoke angrily: "For Retina's sake, I won't worry about you for now, and now I will give priority to treating Retina." Tell me what you want us to do. ”

Hearing the old man's words, Zhou Xin breathed a sigh of relief, and then he spoke: "I just heard that your name is Prit, so I can call you Grandpa Prit like Christie, right?" Zhou Xin was about to continue, but his words were ruthlessly interrupted by Prit.

"We haven't known each other that well, just call me Prit, you don't call 'grandpa'. If you have something to say, you don't have to be close to me. Pryt said ruthlessly.

Suddenly, Zhou Xin felt a little embarrassed, "Uh-well, then you guys get ready, we'll send Christy's mother to your base right away." ”

"Wait!" "Are you going too far, when will I allow you to come directly to our base?" ”

Zhou Xin was a little confused, "If it is not sent to your base, then how are you going to treat her." ”

"It's impossible for us to reveal the location of the base to you, so you should not think about this kind of plan." Pratt seems to be getting angry again.

"Okay, well, we'll listen to you." Zhou Xin hurriedly stopped the signs of Prit's anger, and then he asked, "Then how are you going to save Retina if you don't send her to your base, and you can't transport medical equipment to us, right?" ”

Hearing Zhou Xin's question, Prit thought for a while and replied, "You send Retina to the place we have designated, and we will send someone to pick her up at that place." ”

"Since that's what you think, we'll just do what you say." After listening to Perrit's suggestion, Zhou Xin thought about it and didn't seem to be able to think of a new way, so he had to reluctantly agree.

"Hmm." Prit's tone finally changed a little better, "The time is tomorrow, and the location will be sent to Christy via the communicator." ”

Zhou Xin nodded, "Then it's decided." ”

Seeing that Retina's problem was finally solved, Zhou Xin's mood relaxed, but Pratt didn't think so. After saying this, his expression became serious again: "Now that Retina's problem is solved, let's discuss Christie's problem." ”

Seeing Plitt mention herself, Christy looked puzzled, "Grandpa Dean, didn't I stand here properly?" There is something that needs to be solved. ”

Zhou Xin also looked at Prite with a puzzled expression, Plitt glanced at Christie, and said angrily: "Since you have sent Retina back, what about Christy, don't you have the idea of sending her back?" Or do you want to hold her hostage with you? ”

"No, no, no, I don't think so." Zhou Xin blurted out, and then he was silent for a long time, "But--I still hope that Christy can stay for the time being, which may be helpful for future exchanges between the two of us." ”

"We don't have anything to communicate with you." Prit directly interrupted Zhou Xin's words, "So you don't want to let Christy go?" There was a hint of sternness in his voice.

"That's not what I meant." Zhou Xin wanted to explain, but as soon as he spoke, he gave up in despair, and after a moment of silence, Zhou Xin sighed, "Let's listen to Christy's own opinion." ”

So Zhou Xin and Prit both set their eyes on Christy's body, and seeing that they were all looking at her, Christy was a little nervous, hesitated, and she made up her mind.

"Grandpa Dean, my mother will be handed over to you to take care of for the time being." She said the decision that surprised Prit, "After getting along for a while, I don't think Captain Zhou Xin is a bad person, I think you should have misunderstood him, so I still hope to stay here to solve the misunderstanding between you and them." Andβ€”" She turned her head to look at Zhou Xin, "I'm not in a hurry to leave here, and if I want to leave, the captain will let me go at any time." ”

Zhou Xin was also a little surprised to hear Christy's decision, but he still nodded very cooperatively, "Don't worry, old man, I won't restrict Christy's freedom, if she wants to leave, just tell me, I will send someone to send her home at any time." ”

"Butβ€”" Pritt's face was no longer stern, and he began to look worried.

"You're going to let me be willful for once." There was a hint of determination on Christy's face, "I believe I made the right choice. ”

"Well," Prit sighed, "this is the first time you've opposed my decision since you were born, but I didn't expect it to be in this situation, and it seems that our little Christy has grown up and can make her own decisions." ”

"Grandpa Dean, I'm sorry." Christy whispered with an apologetic look.

Prit waved his hand, "Don't apologize to me, I'm glad you made your own choice, but the decision you made is related to your own safety, remember to protect yourself." At this, his tone became serious. Then, he turned his head to look at Zhou Xin and said sternly to him, "Since she has made a decision, then Christy will stay on your side first." Boy, protect her well, if you dare to touch a single hair of her, our whole base will not let you go. ”

"Don't worry, if anyone dares to touch her, I won't let that person go." Zhou Xin hurriedly expressed his determination.

"Hmph, it's useless to just talk, it still depends on your specific actions." "Okay, if it's okay, I'm going to get ready to pick up Redina, so let's do it for now." ”

"Okay, okay." Zhou Xin nodded hurriedly, so Prit ended the communication without saying anything......
