Meng Chen arrived at the critical moment and destroyed the octopus that had broken into the interior of the flying ship, so he was appreciated by the entire crew and improved the bad effects of his previous madness. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 But Meng Chen was not happy, because Smith was the biggest winner in this incident.

Vice Captain Harold unreservedly praised Smith's heroic actions in front of everyone in the conference room.

"Triist King went out of his way to protect his comrades in the most dangerous situation, so he injured his right arm. This is the spirit of our Hades, the spirit of Zion, and the fundamental difference between us humans and machines. Let's cheer for the heroes, cheer for our cause, cheer for the victory! ”

Smith was in the center of the crowd, hanging a wounded arm with a white bandage like a hero's medal. His healthy hands clenched into fists were raised high, enjoying the cheers and respect of the crowd.

The simple summary party ended quickly, and the people dispersed in twos and threes. Smith didn't shy away from walking towards Meng Chen, and Meng Chen actually saw a smug look on his face. "Smith, I didn't expect you to be a calculating man. But this time, he acted suddenly and got the full credit. ”

"Agent Brown, this is what humans call opportunistic. You know three of these things better than I do. ”

Just as the two were engaged in a conversation with the smell of gunpowder, George came over and said, "David, Kim, the deputy captain has called you over." ”

The five maglev flying ships are a lot of force, and the octopus of ordinary size no longer dares to touch its tiger whiskers, so the other four captains dare to come to the largest Hades and have a meeting together.

Apparently they already have results. When Meng Chen and Smith entered the conference room, Harold greeted them with a spring breeze on his face: "Haha, welcome." Our heroes! ”

The captains of the other 4 ships also nodded to them.

"We would love to know what it was like. Captain Levi, Yuto Nagashima, Smith, and the beggar. Harold stared at them with his eyes as he spoke. Meng Chen's heart trembled for no reason, and he subconsciously looked at Smith. The other party is still a poker face, but now he often has a fake smile on his face.

Secrets are still secrets, and both Meng Chen and Smith are doing everything possible to kill each other, but this is only a matter between them. When confronted with these real-life characters, they chose to keep it a secret.

Occasionally, they would look at each other, as if to say, "It's our little secret." ”

Meng Chen and Smith's answers were the same as they saw. Although the beggar has also been discussed as a suspicious character, the operator discovers that the beggar's body has been recovered by Machine City, and he is too dead to die. This suspicion is self-defeating. All eyes were on Smith.

"It looks like his abilities are any individual in the assimilation matrix."

"After being killed by Neo, Smith must have turned into a virus due to a logical error."

"It's just terrible, I'm afraid only Neo can compete with him now."

"This is to be reported to Zion, and all hackers are reminded to be careful of Smith."

The crowd was silent for a moment, and one of the captains spoke, "Machine City may be brewing an unprecedented offensive. Zion asks us to wake up as many qualified hackers as possible. ”

Harold spoke, "Our ship also has the whereabouts of a qualified hacker. Captain Levi died in the mission to awaken him. We need to contact him as soon as possible to complete the awakening work. ”

Harold turned his head and said to Meng Chen in a slightly inquiring tone: "David, the field staff who carried out the mission last time, only you are still healthy. Will you be able to re-enter the matrix in the near future? ”

Meng Chen immediately asked, "Captain Harold, am I the only one who enters?" ”

Harold said, "Kim is injured, and I plan to wait until he recovers before going on a mission." ”

The other captain immediately said, "Don't worry, my people will cooperate with you." ”

Meng Chen looked at Smith and couldn't read anything from his face. Meng Chen secretly calculated, "Smith knows that I am his biggest threat, if I enter and he takes the opportunity to unplug me, it will easily kill me." No, I must not enter alone. ”

"Mr. Captain, I've been working with Captain Levi and Kim for a long time. Now that I'm suddenly left alone to run in with a new team, and to carry out such an urgent task at such a moment, I'm afraid that there will be problems in the middle. ”

"Okay, you tell the hackers who carried out the mission in detail, and then go back and rest, I will notify you again if there is a mission."

The captains needed to continue their deliberations, so Meng Chen and Smith went out first.

Meng Chen wondered why Harold would speak to him in an inquiring tone, and he didn't force him to do it when he didn't want to carry out the task. But in short, his purpose was achieved, and he did not delve into the reasons for this.

After they left, the five captains looked at the figures of the two for a long time before one of them said leisurely: "Harold, do you really doubt them?" They were heroic in the battle, and one of them was hailed as a hero by you. ”

"David's behavior is so suspicious, is his behavior when he just went offline due to nervousness or is it more meaningful? And why did he refuse to enter the matrix? Kim also has a lot of suspicions, he is so calm, completely different from usual. The contrast between his and David's demeanor is too great. ”

"Your crew, you know better. What's next for you? ”

"It's up to you to wake up the hackers. And I'll send someone to keep an eye on them. If you don't want people to know, you can't do it unless you do. They're always going to show clues. ”

Welding armor, repairing weapons, maintaining equipment, replenishing supplies, everyone is busy.

Only Meng Chen had nothing to do in his room, listening to the various voices coming from the deck above his head and under his feet, his heart was empty, "Harold must have discovered something." Did it me or Smith arouse his suspicions? Smith and I couldn't replicate the character of our predecessor, and that was our biggest flaw. But why didn't he immediately debunk us? ”

"He must have been because there was no evidence. I evaded his suspicion with madness, and Smith used his own contributions. Although we did not leave any more excuses, it could not erase the doubts in his mind. He's bound to make arrangements, so what is he going to do......"

In the corridors of the residential area, the sound of hurried footsteps sounded from far to near. A crew member pushed open Meng Chen's door with a "ho", panting and said, "David, go to the engine room, no, the situation is too tense." The captain has forced all hackers to go online! ”
