Chapter 20: Ambiguous Identities
"Thank you!"
She bowed in thanks.
Zhou He shook his head slightly: "You can do it yourself." ”
With that, the battle suit on his body slipped off him like flowing water, condensed into a human form, and stood quietly aside.
"If there is danger, alert me as soon as possible."
He reminded the starcore.
"Okay sir, I am responsible for your safety, in case of danger, I will activate the 'Dawn' suit to protect your safety as soon as possible, do you authorize it?"
"Hmm."
He nodded slightly: "Then I'll rest first, and wake me up when I'm close to the target." ”
"Yes, sir."
It replied calmly.
The atmosphere in the carriage was silent, with occasional whispers, but they all kept their voices down, and their eyes looked at the mysterious man and the black steel armor that looked like a mechanical warrior.
Zhang Ling and her teammates consciously gave up the bed and carried those who were seriously injured to the bed.
"What's that?"
Zhou He asked calmly, Zhang Ling was piercing the needles of the infusion tubes hanging from the top of those carriages into the skin of those people.
"Nutrient solutions, when we are caught in, there is no food, they will keep us alive by delivering nutrient solutions to our bodies."
Zhang Ling explained.
Zhou He nodded.
"The Dawn suit can fly, right?"
He asked the Star Core.
"Yes."
The star core replied affirmatively: "However, since it is difficult for the human body to bear the load it brings, the professor left it to you." ”
"Professor······ Who is he? ”
Zhou He asked, full of respect for the old professor and curiosity at the same time.
"Professor? He? ”
The Star Core was slightly silent for a moment, and replied, "I don't have much information about him, but he is one of my creators, and he has a very intelligent brain, and he is afraid of them. ”
"They?"
Zhou He was slightly stunned: "Does it mean a subspecies?" ”
"Probably, but I don't have much information about them in my memory module to tell you about them."
The voice of the star core was slightly faint.
"Oh."
Zhou He was slightly disappointed, he really wanted to know what those subspecies people were afraid of, how they pulled humans down from the clouds, how they ······
There are so many that he doesn't know how to find out? Do they know?
He looked at Zhang Ling.
"Is there anything you'd like to consult?"
She observed Zhou He's gaze and asked.
"I don't know much about subspecies······ In other words, I don't know much about the world, and the place where I was born is very closed, and my parents rarely talk to me, so I have a lot to know. ”
"Subspecies."
She reached out and rubbed her temples: "They have very smart brains, so they have always been ahead of us humans in terms of technology, and they hate us very much, and have the determination and desire to exterminate us, of course, because of their numbers, and because our 'human brains' once created a 'magic needle' a satellite probe that can shield them, it is difficult for them to find us ······"
"I really don't know where to start."
She smiled wryly, but patiently recounted, "But their mechanical army makes up for their lack of numbers······
Zhou He shook his head: "How were they born?" ”
"How were they born?"
Zhang Ling was slightly stunned and said, "I don't know this very well... It seems like it was born a long, long time ago, right? But they have been hiding in human society and secretly developing until they start a war, and human society has collapsed as a result. ”
"Oh."
He nodded, still in a mess, and couldn't figure it out: "What does the 'human brain' say?" Person? Or is it some kind of artificial brain? ”
Zhang Ling frowned slightly: "We don't know about this, it's just that legend says that they are a group of very powerful people, with brains that are smarter than subspecies······ But there has been no news of him for a long time, and many rumors say that he was killed by the conspiracy of the subspecies, but others say that it was because of the rebellion and human traitors that led to his murder by the subspecies. ”
"Thank you."
Zhou He nodded in thanks, although there was no useful news, he guessed that it might be the old professor's people······ But this is just speculation, and if you think about it, there are too many questions.
"That... Do you have a similar suit? ”
He gently patted the 'Dawn' suit standing quietly beside him.
"There is ······"
Zhang Ling hesitated for a moment and nodded: "But because it is related to the confidentiality and safety of our human front, I can't tell you this information." ”
"Hmm."
Zhou He nodded, signaling that if he could find out who created their suit similar to 'Dawn', he might be able to know who he brought into this future world... But it doesn't seem to matter? They're probably all dead, right?
"Star core? How long did it take me to wake up? ”
He asked the star core suddenly.
"About three to five years, because I'm also in a dormant state, and I was activated after you woke up, so I don't know."
Starcore replied.
"That... Are they still alive? ”
He continued.
"I don't know."
It responded, and then reminded: "We are close to the target, and the other party has sent a patrol signal, but since I have not given a reply, the other party has stopped advancing, are you in a state of readiness?" ”
"Hmm."
Zhou He nodded, there was no useful information, but it was not too important to himself.
"Guys, I'm going to go out and do something for a while."
Half a kilometer away from the target, Zhou He put on his suit again, the tailgate slowly opened, and the gangway fell.
"Need our help?"
Zhang Ling asked.
Zhou He shook his head: "Thank you, no need." ”
After that, he walked out of the carriage under the gaze of everyone, and only then did he withdraw his gaze as the carriage closed.
"Captain, who the hell is he?"
Wang Er, who had been silent on the way, asked Zhang Ling at this time.
Zhang Ling shook his head: "I don't know, at first I guessed that it was someone from a special team in a certain war zone, but no, I was surprised by how strange he was with subspecies, and even made me believe what he said." ”
"If it's someone from a war zone, he should help us, right?"
Wang Er questioned.
"So it can be judged that he does not belong to the human front."
Zhang Ling pondered: "But I can't tell if he is a pseudo-human arranged by the subspecies." ”
"I can't figure it out."
She shook her head: "His identity is too vague. ”
"Can Teacher Zhou rescue them?"
Ah Yi stared at the ceiling with a blank gaze, and then slowly twisted his head to the side of the eleven.
"Absolutely! Teacher Zhou is amazing! Those iron-cast guys are simply not enough to fight. ”
Da Eleven said, gesturing with his hand excitedly: "You also saw that the clothes on his body couldn't even hurt the shells, and the car was scrapped by Teacher Zhou's knife." ”
"That's good."
He nodded slightly, closed his eyes, and the faces of his dead companions flashed before his eyes one by one.
Zhang Ling heard the conversation between Ah Yi and Da Eleven, and looked at them, she thought: Perhaps, I can learn about his situation from them.
