Chapter One Hundred and Thirteen The First Team/Ah Zhen Line?
ββββββββββ First Team/Ah Zhen Lineββββββββββ
When I was a kid, I thought how interesting it would be if one day I could be the main character of a novel, movie, TV series, or comic book. I can meet countless interesting characters and all kinds of magical characters, aliens, magicians, zombies, werewolves, gods, angels, monsters, robots, futurists, time-travelers? Anyway, it's better than a world that is dull and unchanged every day, isn't it?
This thought accompanied me through elementary school and junior high school, and when I reached the end of junior high school and high school under the scorching sun, I was deeply aware of how naΓ―ve such thoughts were.
Monster? Demon? Corpse? Werewolf? Public enemy of the machine?
The exam papers in your hand are much more difficult to deal with than those ones, the pressure of the college entrance examination, the pressure of going to school, the pressure of graduation, the pressure of work, and countless road choices at the intersection of life, these are not even easier than choosing whether to press the nuclear bomb and blow up the monster along with New York in the movie.
At a cognitive tipping point where I don't know if everyone is bound to go through, I finally realized it deeply.
It turns out that I prefer to be a supporting role in countless novels rather than being the protagonist of a novel.
Monsters coming? There's Ultraman anyway. I just need to cheer and shout.
Aliens are coming? Anyway, there are mechanisms like the Earth Defense Force, so I have to hide from the underground shelter center.
Demons want to destroy the world? Anyway, in the end, God will definitely step up and save the world. Well, in the script, show a second or two of footage, and you should be content, right?
Even if there are demons and monsters, after they rule over human beings, don't they have to worry about firewood, rice, oil and salt? All the monsters, all the villains, in the final analysis, are just templates for real humans.
Well, I must admit that such thoughts don't seem to help in the current scenario. Maybe it's just that the plot is dragged out by those unknown viewers who like exciting and compact plots.
As a passer-by, I ...... Or more people like me who are not qualified to say things that have nothing to do with events that affect the fate of mankind.
Obediently flash to the side, just watch how the heroes and the big guys form an alliance and how they fight the crisis.
Almost...... That's it.
"Ah Zhen, I always thought you were an ordinary person." In a gloomy basement where even rats don't come, Xu Feng said to me.
"Thanks for the reminder. Although I never felt like I had elements beyond the scope of this collection for ordinary people. I replied truthfully.
Xu Feng smiled and said:
"But I have a feeling that one day, you will save the world."
I felt the tea leaves that I had just drunk in my mouth swirling in my throat.
"Hmm...... Where am I in the list of possible people to save the world? β
Xu Feng smiled and said:
"Probably hundreds, maybe thousands."
I nodded:
"That's not much of the truth."
Xu Feng said with a smile:
"But I still have a feeling...... One day, you will save the world and save everyone...... Then, defeat Miyoko. Let her experience the horrors of being as we are now. You can do it. β
"How many people have you said that before?" I asked.
"Probably...... Seven or eight. Xu Feng thought for a moment and said.
"Good, good." I finally drank the hot tea in my hand, and the warm tea flowed through my body, finally warming my body a little.
Xu Feng smiled, pointed at me, and said:
"But I do feel more strongly about you than anyone else."
I looked at Xu Feng with the most indifferent face I could show. For me, who was accustomed to this guy who was a lie out of ten out of ten sentences, his words were like a breeze in my ears, and they didn't hurt me anymore.
Of course, when you look at our seemingly leisurely discussion now, it is actually before dealing with the second meteorite of the great collision of heaven and earth.
Before that, the story we experienced could be described as wonderful, but it could also be said to be prosaic and completely expected.
After facing the drastic decompression in the limited domain, Xu Feng let the monster shrink the density of oxygen in the limited domain, and then Faye Wong and others in the amorous world returned to the limited domain with Hu Shubao, saying that it was not easy to catch this little monster that had been brainwashed by Zhu Qingyun for a long time, and then Zhu Qingyun appeared for no reason, Xuancheng's own spaceship was smashed by Xiao Chen, and the emperor he arrested also fled with a large number of replicants of his own, and he has now become a poor jingle Ethiopian refugee, And there is no means to save his life, so he can only send people to protect himself under the fence. Faced with his seemingly sincere but suspicious eyes, Xu Feng directly locked him in the basement and took strict care of him, but at the same time agreed to take them in temporarily. Of course, it is difficult to think about this kind of behavior with the cerebellum to know that there is a deep meaning behind it without making people feel suspicious.
"Zhu Qingyun must have some conspiracy." Xu Feng said, "That's for sure. β
"yes. What a great discovery, and it's worth a glass to celebrate, isn't it? I said.
Xu Feng continued:
"But I still haven't figured out what he's hiding...... At present, it seems that everything Zhu Qingyun said is true. It feels unassailable. Even, emotionally speaking, I think Zhu Qingyun is more humane now than before, and he seems to really want to cooperate with us. β
I turned my gaze to Fei Tiantian, who was drinking black tea with a straw, and then looked at Gao Hai and Qiu Chaoyue, who were sleeping soundly with their feet on the conference table, and then said:
"Let's get to the conclusion."
Xu Feng shrugged helplessly and said:
"The conclusion is ...... There is no conclusion. At the moment I do not have any reliable conclusions about Zhu Qingyun's intentions. In fact, I also guessed that the emperor was not resurrected at all, and the current emperor was the possibility that he had been brainwashed by Zhu Qingyun, and Zhu Qingyun's plan may be to make the mechanical world win, even at the expense of the electronic world. It is possible that the Eye of Wittgenstein is still hidden in Tefa. But the crux of the matter is ...... If the current emperor is fake, and he still has the ability to predict the future, then why can Faye Wong and the others return safely? And what is the intention of Emperor Fa to let the electronic world and the beauty world take refuge in us? Is it to deliberately tell the coordinates of the meteorites in the amorous world and the zombie world to deal with the meteorites so that they will die together? If this is true...... So, what exactly are they going to do when there are game rules restrictions? I haven't figured this out yet. But there are only two possibilities at the moment. One is that the imperial law is true, and Zhu Qingyun's words are also true, and we are really united now. Another possibility is that the imperial law is fake, and all the current layouts, whether it is the situation that the kinetic energy of the meteorite happens to require Xiao Chen and the monsters of the amorous world to exert their strength together to make it deviate, or the return of Hu Shubao, or let Zhu Qingyun and the replicant Wang Yong come over to form an alliance, or did not kill Faye Wong and them...... The spearhead of all this seems to be to keep us fighting meteorites. This meteorite ...... It certainly won't be easy. β
Zhou Mengdan asked a little nervously:
"Brother Xu, what do you think...... What is the secret of this meteorite? β
Xu Feng shook his head and said:
"I can't say it...... But I think there may be something hidden in this meteorite. Or, the meteorite itself has another purpose. It can serve some kind of purpose against Xiao Chen and everyone in the zombie world. But...... What the hell could this be? I once interrogated Murong Yin, and Murong Yin said that when they built the meteorite, their eyes were completely closed, that is, they didn't know what was hidden in the meteorite. I think that's the key. β
Zhou Mengdan said:
"If that's true...... That...... So what do we do? If the monsters of the amorous world are targeted...... Aren't we insecure? β
Xu Feng held his chin and said helplessly:
"But even then, we can't help it."
Yes, there really is no way. When Hu Shubao and Faye Wong came back, we had already confirmed that there were huge meteorites above the game world and the zombie world, and these two meteorites were hundreds of kilometers in diameter from the video taken on the ground.
So even if Zhu Qingyun has any layout, in the case that we are so passive, in addition to cooperation, there is actually no more choice.
So, we're completely out of the way now.
"Because of the current situation, I also do a lot of work for the unexpected." Xu Feng said, "I left a few hole cards, which are specially prepared for emergencies. If the situation really reaches the point of no return...... We must prepare for the Great Escape. Ah Zhen. β
"What about Xiao Chen, what are they doing now? You can't already deal with meteorites, right? Hu Zixin asked.
Xu Feng shook his head and said:
"The coordinates of the meteorite are still on Zhu Qingyun's side, if Zhu Qingyun doesn't give the coordinates to Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen won't be able to teleport to the meteorite by himself. And Zhu Qingyun's request was that Xiao Shiyi Lang would only give the coordinates after agreeing to deal with the meteorite, that is to say, the current Xiao Chen could only wait. β
Xu Feng paused and said:
"To be honest, I hope Hu Shubao doesn't recover, if she doesn't, then it may show that all this is not a layout, just an accident. But if she recovers...... Instead, I suspect it's all a trap. The key is ...... What the hell is this trap. From the point of view of coordinates, the coordinates of Xiao Chen and Xiao Shiyilang's attack on the meteorite are completely different, and the two have a distance, so they will not fight together at all, and they will not touch the cordon......"
Although the relationship between Xiao Shiyi Lang and Xiao Chen is very bad, after all, it is a major event related to the safety of the zombie world, and Xiao Chen cannot continue to put on a show, and now he can only obediently find our people to choose cooperation. And, on the other hand, our game world, the zombie world, the amorous world, and the beauty world have all exchanged the Book of the World, even if it is for the safety of the electronic world and the beauty world themselves, they will not be stupid enough to choose to destroy themselves to help the emperor.
Until the end, Xu Feng was unable to deduce what kind of layout Zhu Qingyun had set up, because he had too little information.
But Xu Feng still found some doubts, but he couldn't combine them into a reasonable speculation.
In addition to Emperor Fa, Xu Feng needs to watch out for Xiao Chen. In terms of character and proposition, the ordinary world and the amorous world both advocate peace and alliance, although the amorous world is not satisfied with our world's practices now, but at least it will not attack us, after all, no matter how rigid our relationship is, there has been a history of smooth cooperation before, and in fact, Xu Feng has not really done anything to endanger the interests and even the lives of the members of the amorous world in addition to controlling the amorous world for a few seconds, We just try our best to ensure the safety of our lives without harming the lives of the world.
But Xiao Chen is different. Xiao Chen is a person who is good at planning, and he still has a crazy factor in his bones, in order to achieve his goals, he can even be extremely cruel to his teammates, and even to himself. For him, ethics and morality are just things that serve an end, and as long as he can achieve his own ends, he can do whatever it takes. The people in their team even wanted to betray him before, if it weren't for Xiao Chen's superiority in strength to deter his team members later, and his team members also realized that there were even crazier people like Difa in other worlds, I'm afraid the zombie world team would have been shattered by now.
According to Xu Feng's observations in the past few days, Xiao Chen has not been very calm in the past few days. It is said that Xiao Chen once planned two large-scale zombie attacks and sweeps in the beauty world and the mechanical world, mainly to clean up some of the remaining mechanical troops and wandering legions in the electronic world and the mechanical world, and at the same time, Xiao Chen also recovered the giant zombies distributed in various worlds on a large scale in preparation for the next seismic meteorite plan. In order to prevent Xiao Chen from betraying our team and secretly colluding with Emperor Fa, Xu Feng naturally interrogated him, according to the rules of the game, Xiao Chen had to tell us the truth, according to Xiao Chen's own confession, the purpose of his harassment of Emperor Fa in the past few days is to test whether Emperor Fa has the ability to predict the future, the second is to harass Emperor Fa and reduce the possibility of him suddenly interfering when he is cooperating with meteorites, and the third is that he wants to save Tong Xinyi, a member of the team who was captured by Emperor Fa in the zombie world, It is said that this is also something that Chen Dongqing strongly advocates.
Of course, in the face of Xiao Chen's answer, Xu Feng could not easily believe it, and every step of Xiao Chen's move, Xu Feng had to personally inquire before he could rest assured.
When Xiao Chen stopped the zombie war against Emperor Fa and came back from the battlefield wearing a black cloak, Xu Feng personally stepped forward and asked:
"You didn't deliberately reveal information about our world to the machine world, did you?"
Xiao Chen glanced at Xu Feng and said:
"Nope. Absolutely nothing. I haven't made any attempt to reveal anything about our team or the Meteorite Project to Tefa or anyone else in the mechanical world. β
"Yes......" Xu Feng narrowed his eyes slightly and said:
"So, did you deliberately tell your men about the meteorite, and then, "inadvertently", let your guard down, and then let the people of the mechanical world arrest your men? In this way, you don't reveal any information subjectively, but Tefa can still know about the meteorite and our plans, can't you? β
Facing Xu Feng's question, Xiao Chen's face was slightly gloomy, and after being silent for a while, he said lightly:
"Yes. A few of the soldiers who were in charge of our plan were indeed captured by the emperor. But whether or not Tefa already knows our information, I can't be sure. β
Xu Feng's eyes became sharp, he smiled coldly, then patted Xiao Chen's shoulder and said:
"Don't think about exploiting loopholes all day long, Xiao Chen...... None of us are fools. In the future, you are not allowed to do the same thing again, you know? You name it, I ...... I can think of it too. β
Xiao Chen's pupils contracted slightly, and he froze in place, motionless like a stake, while Xu Feng had already staggered past him and slowly walked away.
After returning to the conference room, Xu Feng said to us:
Xiao Chen really had other intentions. He wanted to secretly cooperate with Tefa. β
Hu Zixin's face was ugly and said:
"So, Xiao Chen is in breach of contract, right? Wouldn't we be able to terminate our cooperation with him? β
Xu Feng shook his head slowly and said:
"The agreement only prohibits Xiao Chen from taking the initiative to disclose information to Emperor Fa, but if Emperor Fa takes the initiative to obtain information, then Xiao Chen is passively informed of the information, and he does not need to bear any responsibility."
Qiu Chaoyue slapped the table indignantly and said:
"And this trick! This Xiao Chen is really too insidious! β
Xu Feng said:
"But no matter what, when I got an insight into Xiao Chen's intentions, his plan was already bankrupt. But...... We also had to prepare in advance. to deal with some of Xiao Chen's possible deviant behaviors. β
"What are you preparing? Where we are now...... It's also too passive. Zhou Mengdan said with some distress, "We don't even have books from others, and we don't have any domin......ance at all."
"At least...... You can make some preparations to deter Xiao Chen. Xu Feng said, "On the one hand, there is preparation for escape. On the other hand, it is to restrict Xiao Chen's behavior. β
"But...... How to limit it? Hu Zixin asked.
Xu Feng thought for a while and said:
"This one needs the help of people from the ordinary world, because they don't have the Book of Worlds at the moment, so it's less restrictive. I'll talk to Amano in private, and be prepared to flee in case something other happens, provided that I don't violate the basic principles of the agreement. If it is only in the face of an emergency, the agreement does not make corresponding restrictions. Because when we need to flee, it already means that the agreement has been bypassed in some way, and our cooperation has broken down. β
I frowned and said:
"By the ordinary world? How do you want to rely on them? β
Xu Feng said:
"I can't tell you about this yet, but the fewer people who know about the possibility of being countered by other worlds in advance in order to avoid leaking information, the better. I'll let you know in due course. β
So, after Xu Feng left the conference room, we didn't know what Amano Yuezi or others in the ordinary world said. But thinking about it, Xu Feng still has his own plans.
And it didn't take long after that......
The second operation to deal with meteorites began.
So, all of us gathered in the zombie world.
Except for Zhu Qingyun and Hu Shubao, basically all the members are here. What is a little surprising is that Xiao Shiyi Lang actually gave up the plan to continue to wake up their team member Hu Shubao. And it seems that the mood is extremely lost. According to his own statement, he no longer wants Hu Shubao to suffer more, and now he has given Hu Shubao a laissez-faire and let her pursue her own happiness, not wanting to put too much pressure on her.
Faced with such a situation, we were naturally shocked, and Xiao Chen was naturally annoyed, which meant that the probability of the zombie world avoiding this disaster was reduced. But in the end, Xiao Chen was helpless, because in terms of probability, it was indeed possible to solve the meteorite crisis, but the probability was smaller than when Hu Shubao was there.
After a war of words, Xiao Chen finally reached a compromise with Xiao Shiyilang. In the end, all of us chose to continue the operation against the meteorite as originally planned.
Before the operation began, Xu Feng, Qiu Chaoyue, Fei Tian and others all went out to carry some aviation suits and distribute them to us, while Xu Feng went for a long time, and I don't know what he was preparing, but I think he has a little special operation.
After that, our final action ...... It's finally begun.
Looking up at the sky, each of us could see the flickering bright spot in the sky.
That bright spot represents a huge meteorite crashing into the zombie world.
In the past few days, the ground observation station of the zombie world has calculated its velocity area according to the albedo of the meteorite's frontal light, and also speculated the approximate volume and mass, coupled with the data provided by Zhu Qingyun, we can be said to have an extremely good understanding of all aspects of this meteorite.
