Chapter 93: Coping
"What answer?" We were all curious and eagerly awaited his answer.
It's about our relationship with the Atlanteans, and about what we do later.
"My preliminary judgment is that this time it was a planned conspiracy." Trist affirmed.
But what he said was nonsense, this is a lice on the monk's head, an obvious thing. Anyone who arrives at this time can see that this time it is planned and organized. But he still didn't give an answer to our questions.
Ignoring the angry stare in our eyes, Trist began fiddling with his cards.
"It's all in the cards......
"This is not the time for you to play cards, and you can't hope for the answer in these few small cards." I said impatiently.
Fortune telling, for some people, is a medium dependence, a spiritual sustenance, a faith, but for me, it is just an efficient and effective means of accosting people who can pursue the opposite sex.
"Let me do the math." Trist was still fiddling.
"Fortunes are turning ......"
"Well, if you just figure this thing out, I'm afraid my fist can't help but make some intense contact with the bridge of your nose." Moon's hands were clenched into fists, gritting his teeth to squeeze the words out between his teeth.
"Don't worry, I'll tell you the answer." This time Trist seemed to be sure.
"I'm going to see what you can say, or ......" Moon shook his fist, the threat in it unmistakable.
"From what you just said, we have found no obvious signs, so it is not conclusive that the Atlanteans did it. At the same time, in terms of their technology, the huge pyramid may not be their doing. Trist said.
"So, it's likely that the aliens did it?" I said eagerly.
But Trist shook his head and said, "But it makes me more inclined to be an Atlantean." At the very least, they were an important part of the operation. ”
"There is some contradiction in your words, I don't understand." Moon said.
I also don't understand that the reversal is too fast.
"There is a saying that no two leaves are the same in the world. The same different civilizations will give birth to different ideas and ideas, and the Atlantean spaceship was built with your help, right? Trist asked, turning to Moon.
"Yes, although their technology level is good, it is still not far behind us." Moon said proudly.
"Really? Hehe...... You helped them build the ship, I'm sure. But the shape design should be their requirement, just like making an order, and manufacturing according to customer needs. Am I right?? ”
"I didn't pay attention to this, but the shape was their request." Moon reluctantly admitted.
"How could two different civilizations have such a high degree of similarity in their thinking and choose the same design? It's too much of a coincidence, so what we just saw can basically be judged to be an Atlantean ship.
And the direction of their artillery fire, we can all see, is the ground structure. Although no casualties were seen, this is more telling. Because there are no human beings on Earth, and there are no aliens, the purpose of this is to show their energy and show their strength.
Thus forcing the earthlings to surrender, or to submit to their obscenity. So they are undoubtedly playing the opposite role.
Why are there no familiar logos and markings, and do you think that since the betrayal has been decided, then they will keep the original logo? They can communicate with each other through spirits, and signs are superfluous to them.
Or maybe they have a new logo that we don't know and are not familiar with. As for that pyramid ......"
"The pyramid is like this??" I asked.
"That's what I'm worried about, just now Moon said that it wasn't their work, so it means that the Atlanteans are capable of building this high-tech flying machine independently. And it has been perfectly hidden from you. Trist casually glanced at Moon with a hint of reproach in his eyes.
A blush flashed across Moon's face and he opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything, after all, it was.
"There is another possibility, it was not built by Atlanteans, it was made by aliens. Then it means that the Atlanteans have colluded with the aliens. And it's been planned for a long time. Trist spoke out another possibility.
But either way, it's not good news.
"There's one more thing that can help us get a more definite answer." Trist said with a sigh.
"How?" Moon and I asked eagerly in unison.
"You can also get in touch from a distance, right?"
Trist glanced at Moon, who nodded in the affirmative.
"Let's get in touch with our combined forces, if I'm not mistaken, I shouldn't be able to contact them right now." Trist's voice became muffled.
I understand what he meant, that our troops are also in danger. Perhaps they have been controlled by the Atlanteans, or even misfortune.
"Wait!" Trist stopped Moon.
We looked at Trist in bewilderment.
"Do they know your contact information? Will it reveal our location? Trist remained calm and sane.
"No, I'm in contact with my dad, and the contact information between us is exceptional, different from the regular contact information of our Lemurians, and it is not known by the Atlanteans, as long as my dad is okay, he can be contacted." Moon explained a little, and tried to make contact.
But the results were disappointing, and after trying for a long time, there was still no response. It was expected by Trist.
Moon's expression was very bad, his eyes were distracted, his lips were white and trembling, and he sat down in his chair as if he had lost his strength......
I can understand his mood very well, but I don't know how to comfort him at this time, because I am not much better than him at this time. I am also deeply worried about my family, and I also do not know my whereabouts, and my fate is uncertain.
Anne didn't say a word while we were talking, because she was an orphan, she had no family, and she couldn't interject. But seeing the way we were at this moment, she tugged at the corner of my coat and didn't speak, but her eyes already showed her concern.
I gently hugged her, maybe now we're all the same, I thought to myself as I glanced at Moon.
"Okay, maybe it's not too bad, we have to cheer up." Trist broke the heavy atmosphere.
His words also give us a glimmer of hope and rekindle our little extravagant hopes.
"Maybe they were just imprisoned, but they weren't killed, and they're still waiting for us to rescue them. If that's what they are now, then they will really be in misfortune. "Trist's words make a lot of sense, and if I don't have the second half, I'll be grateful to him.
"Take a step back, they have been killed, and we have to wait for you to help them avenge their hatred. So, you have to pick yourself up. It's time for us to get busy......"
His words make a lot of sense, and this is almost the motivation that supports us. We can grieve, but we can't fall, we have to pick ourselves up.
"What are we supposed to do now?" Before we knew it, Trist had become our backbone.
Maybe it's because of his calmness, maybe it's his rational analysis. In short, we need someone so that we don't panic in a situation like this, at least know what we need to do, and we can't sit back and wait.
Now we are on one of Saturn's moons, and the exact location is unknown to us except for Moon, let alone the Atlanteans, and I believe that our safety is guaranteed at this moment.
Trist sat in his chair, his trademark cowboy hat pressed down slightly, unable to see his current expression, a card in his hand constantly appearing and disappearing, reappearing, disappearing......
"We're in a bad situation right now." Trist said faintly.
"Of course we're not good, it's obvious." Moon said.
"No, you don't understand what I mean. We are isolated now, and how long can the conditions here sustain us? Trist asked, turning his head.
"It's just a home-like base when I was a kid, and it's just a little shelter. Something here can sustain us for up to three months. Moon looked a little ugly.
This is undoubtedly worse for our current situation, and it is impossible to survive here even if we want to. Of course, we didn't plan to do that, but we just made our time short.
"Now we have to split up, one team to inquire about the situation, and the other team to find a way to get some supplies." Trist made a decision immediately.
"I'm going to inquire about the situation!" Moon immediately took a stand, and I stood up not far behind.
"No, I can only go, you can't get out." Trist said, shaking his head. "Don't forget my abilities......"
"Then it's too dangerous for you to go alone."
"I'm not going alone, someone has to pick me up, I can't do this far yet." Trist said.
"Then I'll pick you up!" Moon and I said in unison.
"Moon can't go, you're in charge of supplies. Only you know this area and know how to collect it, and we can't get your stuff from us. Lu, as soon as you and I go, we have all learned how to pilot the spaceship. Trist began to assign tasks, "And Annie, you go with Moon too." ”
Anne looked unhappy, and pouted, "No, I want to be with Lu." ”
As he spoke, tears began to glisten in his eyes......
I glanced at Trist gratefully, I understood his intentions, and it must be much more dangerous to return to Earth to find out the situation than to get supplies.
Although he didn't say it, he had made the best arrangements to be with Moon, and in case he was found out, Moon would be able to take care of him. And it is definitely far from the front line, there will definitely be no large forces nearby, only small forces.
But Anne still needs to be comforted, "Anne is obedient and goes with Moon to get supplies, or I will be hungry when I come back." ”
I thought of ways to trick her, and I have to say that this statement is by far the most effective I have found. She has a bitter past, and she has a deep understanding of what it is like to be hungry.
"Alright then, I'll be ready to eat and wait for you to come back." Anne nodded and said obediently.
Trist and I looked at each other and understood each other's intentions, and everything was in plain sight.
I carefully steered the spacecraft to fly into the rings of Earth, and due to Saturn's huge mass, it attracted a lot of interstellar dust under the action of gravity, forming a huge ring around Saturn. It's a spectacular place, but it's also dangerous, and if you're not careful, you'll collide with these inconspicuous rubbles, which can lead to crash and death.
"Tell me about your plan, you won't just run through it, will you?" I asked.
"Of course not, we're going to sneak into Earth together, and then put me down, and I'll go to scout. My range of capabilities is about 2,000 kilometers, which is probably the position from the low-Earth satellite orbit, where you have to pick me up and be ready to fly away at any time. Trist gave him a brief explanation of his plan.
But I still feel that something is wrong, and it seems that there is something left unexplained.
"Where do we land?"
"Africa!"
"Africa?"
"Yes!" Trist nodded affirmatively.
"Why there?" I don't understand.
"There are seven continents on the earth, excluding Antarctica first, which, although we landers rarely visit, is where the Lemurian base is located, and is exposed and therefore cannot be visited; Asia is the most populous place, and if you want to attack the earth, you will definitely not let it go; Europe and America are places where the earth's science and technology are developed, and they must be one of the main forces of resistance; Although Australia is sparsely populated, it is too close to Britain and the United States, and it is inevitable that it will be one, and at the same time, they are too close to the underwater dwellings of the Atlanteans. The only thing left is Africa, which is a vast place, and although it is quite populous, it is concentrated in a few places, and most of it is still inhabited, so it is most suitable for us to land there. "Trist's methodical analysis listens to me.
"But there is also a problem, it is not convenient to inquire about the situation there." I questioned it.
"I've thought about this, but it's the safest place, and although it's not easy to detect the situation, it's not too easy to reveal our whereabouts. As for how I gather intelligence, then you don't have to worry about it. Trist said with a small smile.
"It's not going to be a casino, is it?" I looked at the cards that suddenly appeared in his hand, and I had a little realization in my heart.
“bingo! Yes, there are some outstanding points. A look of approval flashed in Trist's eyes, and he continued, "Since ancient times, one of the best places to inquire about information is the casino. There are so many people that you can hear all kinds of information without even opening your mouth, let alone have the heart to inquire? Besides, such a big event this time should be known to everyone on the earth, and it doesn't take much effort. ”
"But now it's a good chance that no one will be found...... We were in the same place where we had been attacked, but there was no human figure in sight, only ruins. ”
"It's the city, and it's probably hiding in a bomb shelter. Africa, as far as I know, there are very few such facilities, there are still quite a few indigenous people there, and they live in a semi-traditional way, so there is a good chance of finding them. ”
As we speak, we have entered the Earth's atmosphere......
