Chapter 9: The Sons of War (Revised Version)
So you didn't die? I was a little surprised, I thought I was going to die, Liu Riqiang was killed, why did I survive? Why did those aliens spare me a small life? Do you really want to experiment with yourself? Didn't that demon eye say it was going to eat me? I don't doubt this at all, that thing looks like a carnivore, do you think I have too little meat and plan to fatten me up? Or are you not hungry and save it for supper in the evening?
This thought made me panic in my heart, I am not too afraid of death (in fact, I am also afraid, but I have to die early and late, I can see it), but being eaten by a monster, it is too scary.
But now it's useless to think about it, I can't even confirm whether I'm still on Earth, calm down, I checked my body first, there is still a faint pain in my body, but the previous injuries seem to have recovered, and my head doesn't hurt anymore, it is very likely that I have been treated by those aliens.
It's just that there seems to be an extra wound on the temple, and when I touch it with my hand, I can faintly feel something more in the skin, as if something has been implanted, I close my eyes and vaguely feel that something is not right.
That's not good, it can't be planted with a bomb or something, right?
"Don't be nervous, you're just implanted with a brainwave generator." Suddenly, without warning, a voice sounded beside me.
Startled, I hurried to look in the direction the sound was coming from, and as my eyes adjusted to the darkness around me, I finally realized that I wasn't alone.
In this huge cabin where I was, there were many of these metal cages, large and small, some with unknown beasts in them, and I even saw a tiger, and in the cage next to me, sat a skinny alien.
This alien is about 1.7 meters tall, with a slender body, slender limbs, gray-white skin on his body, no hair, and many uneven bulges where he should be hair.
It's weird overall, but it's not as disgusting as the big beetles that came before.
And the key is that he is also locked in a cage, which means that like me, he is also a fallen person at the end of the world.
Seeing me looking at him, the thin alien explained, "Brainwave generator, a tool used to communicate between different civilizations, most interstellar civilizations have similar things, it can transmit your thoughts in the form of brainwaves, so that different races can communicate perfectly, of course, if there is a brainwave generator unilaterally, the communication will be relatively not so smooth, if both sides have brainwave generators, basically you can communicate without barriers, just like now, I think you must be able to understand my words." , despite the fact that you don't understand the language I speak at all? ”
It is true that, as he said, I had no idea what he said in a smooth tone, but I knew what he meant very clearly.
I see, I thought to myself, no wonder I could understand the words of those aliens before, obviously their language is meaningless to me, but I can understand the meaning, this thing is really amazing? With this thing, it's basically a monolingual dominance, but why would they be so kind to install such a high-tech device for me? Or is this thing really not worth mentioning to these aliens?
But this reminds me of one thing, if the other party installs this thing on me, it means that they are not going to eat me, at least for the time being, otherwise why bother, this thing is not a seasoning, it is impossible to make my taste just right.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and therefore I had more of a mood to learn about other information.
"Why do you all call me an ape," I asked casually.
"Because you're an ape-man, it's a convenient name, like deep down you call a Kraworm a worm and a demon eye a lizardman, you've already seen that guy, right?"
"Not only have I seen it, but I also had a fight, but it's more like being beaten unilaterally." I said helplessly, still haunted by the previous battle, that demonic eye gave me the feeling of being too terrifying, and it was completely an invincible opponent.
But the thin man's words did let me know some information, it turns out that those bugs are called Kraworms, so what race is the Demon Eye?
"You got into a fight with Demon Eyes? Ape-man, you seem to be more powerful than you look. The skinny alien said with a hint of surprise in his tone. That Demon Eye isn't a benevolent fellow, he must have thought you had some value to save your life. ”
This guy screamed one ape after another, and I said in my heart Okay, the ape is the ape, anyway, it's all come to this point, what do you care about the name?
I glanced at this guy and wondered what to call him, but for a moment I really couldn't find any characteristics to describe, the key was that unlike the big beetles and demon eyes that came before, this thing had no resemblance to any species on Earth - at least I didn't.
"Maybe, you call me an ape-man, and honestly, I don't know what to call you, you don't resemble any species I've seen in the past, can you introduce yourself?"
"I am a Jace, in our language, Jace means children of war, we are born for war, we die for war, but other races call us gunslingers, because from birth we are destined to be a warrior, every newborn will be determined a battle number, in the military school to learn how to fight, how to serve the race, everyone will be assigned a gun from birth, from birth to death."
"My name is Karim-Lurker-6713, Karim is the name of the unit I belong to, Lurker means my combat profession, and 6713 is my personal number, every one of us Jaces is called like this, you can call me Karim or you can call me 6713, it doesn't matter if you call me Gunman."
"Lurkers, what does that mean?"
"This means that I have the ability to hide myself, and we Jaces are genetically modified when they are not born, and each one has a special ability, and hiding myself is my special ability." As Karim spoke, the color of his body suddenly changed, turning into a dark black, and he suddenly blended into the surrounding environment, and he couldn't see it if he didn't look closely, I said in my heart that this thing was amazing, it felt like a chameleon, no wonder I hadn't noticed him before.
