———————————————— Fifth Team/Luo Rong Line———————————————

I felt a sharp pain in my chest, I felt something cold and sharp pierce my chest, probably puncturing my veins, and I looked down to see a silver dart.

I was hit by a bullet! I was hit by a bullet!

I gasped for breath and covered my hand in horror with my hand on the dart that had been inserted into the flesh, but soon, a strong feeling of dizziness surged into my brain, and my eyes, which I was already dizzy from the naval battle of the Emperor just now, suddenly turned black, and my whole body fell down, knowing nothing.

I was woken up by the voice of an old man, and I opened my eyes in a daze, and the first thing I saw was the white-bearded old man named Smith who had shot me unconscious, he was wearing a military uniform and holding a device that I don't know what kind of instrument he didn't know. Beside him, there stood four or five old men about his age.

"Woke up?" Seeing me, Old Man Smith opened his mouth and spoke not very fluent Chinese, but his eyes were still full of vigilance.

When I saw the old man, I remembered that I had just been hit by a bullet in the chest, and I hurriedly reached out to touch it, but I saw that my chest was still intact, and there was no hole in my imagination except for a small red dot. That's when I breathed a sigh of relief.

"I ...... Am I still alive? I asked, a little scared, and I looked around and directed myself to a cramped room like an operating room, with lights everywhere.

Hearing my words, the room burst into laughter.

"You're not dead." Old Man Smith couldn't help but laugh, "We just knocked you unconscious with a tranquilizer bullet just now, because we weren't sure if you were friend or foe, or if you were a spy sent by the robots. In the time since you passed out, we have strictly examined your body and determined that you are an ordinary person. ”

"Now it seems that you at least don't look like those people sent by AI, if it is really a spy sent by AI, you should resist when I shot at you just now, after all, you are a spy who won our trust by sacrificing thousands of ships, and it is impossible for you to die under my gun so casually, which is not in line with the most economical thinking of those AIs. Of course, it can't be ruled out that those AIs are smarter and see that I'm a narcotic bomb. Old Man Smith said, touching his long white beard.

It seemed that the old man was willing to believe me, and I was finally relieved. But the old man quickly took out a strange watch and put it on my wrist, and said:

"Still, we can't fully trust you right now. We have not been able to find any information about your identity and background from the database at Base A1 under the sea. So your identity is still a blank for us. As for the other person who is on the same ship with you, we have already found his information, he is the original native of the AI submarine base, Gololi Julius Cesar, a recruit who has just joined the army for less than half a year. ”

Brother Lori's identity, he also told me, it seems that these people know Brother Lori, but they don't know me.

"It's just a lie detector you're wearing, and I'm going to ask you some questions, and if you're lying, we'll know right away, so you have to tell us the answers to the questions we asked you, you know?"

Lie detectors? I immediately became nervous, what should I do, if they knew that I was not from this world, would they kill me? My heart was pounding, and I felt as scary as a sword on my neck at the sight of Old Man Smith's frowning sword eyebrows.

Old Man Smith didn't give me much time, he stared at me and asked in a tone that looked like an interrogation:

"Your name?"

"Luo, Luo Rong." I said hesitantly.

"Where are you from? You're not from base A1, are you? Old Man Smith asked.

My heart was pounding, and even my jaw was oozing beads of sweat. How do I answer that? Tell the truth, but wouldn't it be more bullshitty if I told them I was from another world? How much less will they believe in me? But if I tell them a lie, they'll see through it.

In short, I can't lie. But you can't tell the truth......

What to do?

Probably out of a hurry, suddenly, I had an idea and said nervously:

"I ...... I—I'm not from your place. However, I, I, I'm definitely not from the robot side...... I'm from China...... I guess I'm on your side......"

Since the polygraph can detect whether I am lying or not, then I naturally know that I am not a robot.

"China?" Hearing my words, Old Man Smith frowned fiercely, and my heart fluttered.

An old man on the side said: "China, isn't this the name of an Asian country from a long time ago?" That was long before the AI passed the Turing test. Why is it called such an ancient country? Or is this the code name of which organization? ”

I was silent, I didn't know what to say, I knew that my thoughts and theirs were not of the same era, and it was really difficult to communicate.

"You're from land, aren't you?" An old man with a short beard and yellow skin who was sitting next to me suddenly asked, "I have done some research on ancient Chinese. The style of your speech and the vocabulary you use are very similar to the words of ancient China, not like the speaking style of our modern people, I guess, you must be a human from the mainland, right? ”

Unexpectedly, my Chinese saved me, and I hurriedly nodded gratefully, tears of fear flowed from my eyes.

Old Man Smith squinted one eye, glanced at the yellow-skinned old man, then looked at me, and said suspiciously:

"Are there any remnants of human organization on the continent now? According to our information, since the nuclear winter, there have not been many people on the continent who have survived, and even if there are, they are some mutated deformed mutants, who survive by eating garbage and corpses, and there is no formal human organization anymore. ”

I bowed my head in tears and said with some nervousness:

"There was...... But now...... There is no more...... "What I said is the truth, because for me, the mainland was originally my motherland, but in this era, my motherland is gone, so the lie detector cannot detect it."

The thought that I was caught up in God's game and that I might never see my loved ones again brought tears to my eyes, and I really wanted to go home. Although I was always bullied in my old home, at least I was familiar with that place.

"You mean you're the only one left in the human organization on the continent, right?"

"Hmm......" I nodded, rubbing my sour eyes.

"And how did you get to our escape boat? What is your relationship with Golori? How did you meet? Smith asked sternly.

I bowed my head and said:

"Yes, it's Golori...... He saved me. I, when I woke up, I was already in a nuclear submarine...... The rest, I don't know very well. There were five other people with me, and they were all dead......"

"Could it be that the people on the Leviathan nuclear submarine saved you?" Smith frowned and pondered, "But now that the nuclear submarine has been sunk by the AI's quantum mines, it's unlikely that you can ask the dead man what happened." ”

I lowered my head, tears streaming down my face, and I kept rubbing my hands, and the more I rubbed them, the more moist my eyes became.

Seeing me crying, Old Man Smith frowned, patted me on the shoulder, looked at the watch on my wrist, and said:

"Okay, let's just ask this first. It is inappropriate to uncover people's scars now. And it seems, the polygraph doesn't detect any signs that you're lying. You should be someone we can trust. After all, it would have been easy to destroy our unarmed human escape fleet with the ability to sink 1,200 AI ships, but the fact that you didn't do so proves that you are not hostile to us. Now the survivors of our A1 base have just escaped from the brink of death, and they are all desperate, you are the only hero in their minds, and you have even become a mythical existence. If you really are not on the side of A1, but on our side, I would like to ask you to play the role of a hero, wipe away your tears, and heal the wounds in the hearts of those poor survivors. Also, I forgot to introduce myself, I am the commander of the first brigade of the human escape fleet and the captain of the water dragon, James Smith, they are my deputies, they are the first mate Alex, the second officer Rosenberg, the third officer Zhou Yuan, the chief engineer Zodd and the boatswain Lei ...... "Captain Smith introduced me to the identities of several other old people present one by one, and I knew that the yellow-skinned old man was called Zhou Yuan, the third officer, and it seemed that he had Chinese blood.

From the old man's description, I know that because of this attack by the AIs, one of the only two remaining submarine bases of the human race has been completely destroyed, there were originally 500,000 people in this submarine base, but now less than one-fifth of the people have escaped and survived, if the previous human escape fleet was pursued by the AI's 1,200 quantum stealth fleets, I am afraid that there will not be a single living mouth left. Originally, Captain Smith and the others all thought that this time the people of Human Base 1 would definitely die, and they were even ready to die.

However, the emperor easily sank the fleet of 1,200 AIs and performed a mythical feat, but saved them. It was because of Difa's actions that they couldn't believe that we were humans, and instead thought we were spies sent by robots.

And where I am now, is the last undersea base of mankind, the emergency room of base A2, this is the largest undersea base of mankind, and it is also the only remaining undersea base, if this undersea base is also destroyed, then the earthlings, there will be no more human beings.

However, Captain Smith, they seem to have misunderstood me, and they think of me as a hero who destroyed 1,200 AI ships, and in fact, the real hero is the Emperor, not me at all......

"Well, can you do us a favor? Now the mood of the people is very low, their thoughts are also negative and pessimistic, and some people have even started to commit suicide. We're having a hard time controlling the situation, and you're the only one who can do us that favor. ”

Captain Smith looked at me helplessly, "As long as you are on our side, we will agree to you as much as possible if you put forward conditions that do not exceed the bottom line." ”

I swallowed hard, clenched my fists, and said without confidence:

"If you really believe me, I ...... I'll try my best. ”

"You young man, why are you so unconfident in yourself? If it weren't for the fact that we knew what Golori was capable of, and that he was even more timid and unconfident than you, I wouldn't have believed that you would be a legend who sank 1,200 ships. Haha, you say yes, right? An old man with a red nose on the side patted me on the shoulder and laughed, he was the first mate, Alex.

Talented...... Hero...... Savior......

I couldn't help but feel a little ashamed and nervous because I was the only one who knew that these titles didn't belong to me at all, but to a much crazier character...... What would they think if they knew I wasn't really a savior?

"That...... Brother Lori with me...... What happened to him—How was he? I stammered.

"Oh, he's been interrogated before, and now he's resting in the camp, and I'll let you meet in a moment." Captain Smith said, "Any other questions?" ”

I looked around and realized that my body had been wiped and I had changed into a white tightsuit, which they had checked my body and put it on.

"I, my book...... I had a book with me...... Where did that book go? I asked cautiously.

"Oh, you mean the novel called 'The Machine World', right? Stay in the pantry with your belongings and pick them up whenever you want. Captain Smith said, "Is that book important to you?" ”

I nodded heavily, humming repeatedly, that book was an important item enough to destroy the world, and I must not lose it.

I was slightly relieved to hear that the book was safe and sound.

"I want to go out and see...... May I? I asked.

Captain Smith exchanged glances with the others and said:

"Of course, but you'll have to wear this watch you have, it's a device that detects your vital reaction and your location, so you don't get separated."

I looked down at the watch on my wrist, at the tiny dial and the dark green fluorescent numbers on it, and I knew that although they were saying nice things to keep me from getting separated, this thing was actually a tool they used to keep track of me.

Soon I was allowed to leave the emergency room, I took my copy of "The World of Machines" with a satchel with me, and walked out of the emergency room under the guidance of Captain Smith, but as soon as the door opened, I heard a girl screaming.

"It's coming, it's coming!"

"He's out!"

"Really, I saw him!"

"He's so skinny, much thinner than I thought......"

I felt a dazzling light in front of me, and when I got used to it, I realized that in front of me was a red cordon separated by a fence, and outside the cordon, there were more than a dozen girls, all about fifteen or sixteen years old, they gathered at the front of the cordon, chattering excitedly and staring at me with wide eyes, and still holding a thin instrument in their hands to shoot at me, as if it was a camera or something, I noticed that several of the girls were the ones I had seen before I fell unconscious, Among them, the girl in a floral dress, with shoulder-hanging black hair, big shiny eyes, and snow-white skin, squeezed in the direction of the cordon with another blonde girl.

Further behind them stood a large crowd of gray-faced adults, each with wide eyes trying to squeeze their scalps into the cordon to see me, as if I had really become a hero. What struck me as strange was that I found that most of these microscopic people were women and young children, and the ratio of men to women was only three to seven at most.

"Why are most of them women......" I couldn't help but muttered to myself.

"Because most of the young people have joined the war, and when we escape, our principle is to let the children and women go first, so most of the people who escaped this time are women." Captain Smith heard me talking to myself, and immediately sighed and explained.

I was shocked, I didn't expect Captain Smith to have such good ears.

I looked at the faces of the people in front of me who were full of expectations for me, looking at me with the eyes of the gods, and I had a wonderful feeling in my heart, from childhood to adulthood, I have never been seen with such an eye full of expectation and admiration, this kind of vision, is not this kind of eyes that I have always expected others to look at me?

If only I were the hero they thought I was, then I would be seen that way by them all the time...... But I was afraid, I was afraid that if I exposed the truth about the sinking of 1,200 ships, their eyes of admiration now would turn into disappointment, anger and even ridicule. I shudder at the thought of such a scene.

The guards dispersed the crowd of onlookers and pulled away the girls who were pressed behind the cordon, who were reluctantly dragged by the guards.

"Ahh

"Yes, he's the hero who saved us, why can't we watch it?" Several girls shouted angrily at the guards who tried to pull them away.

"Hero, look this way, look at me, look at me!" A couple of girls screamed like crazy, making my face hot and embarrassed.

"He's blushing, he's so cute!" A girl with braided hair said excitedly.

The black-haired, white-skinned girl in her shabby floral dress broke free from the guards, crossed the cordon, and trotted in high spirits to me, where she took an olive branch garland from her neck, put it on my head, and said to me with a smile on her hands:

"Hero, although I don't know where you are from, Hero, I still thank you for saving us. You're amazing, you're my idol, my name is Cherry, please let me thank you on behalf of everyone. As she spoke, the girl pursed her lips and leaned in to kiss me gently on the left side of my cheek. The surrounding crowd erupted in cheers and applause.

I took two steps back in a panic, my cheeks became hot, and a feeling that I had never felt before suddenly appeared in my heart, and the girl giggled, brushed her long eyelashes, and asked me expectantly:

"Hero, you will perform miracles and save us in the future, right?"

The girl's words gave me ten thousand pounds of pressure and made me a little breathless, but the girl's kiss just now made me a little dizzy and confused, and subconsciously, I actually hummed and nodded.

"Of course......" I said subconsciously.

At that time, all I could think of was the soft, wet feeling of the girl's lips when she kissed me, and the big beautiful and charming eyes and snow-white face, and I completely forgot what the girl was saying, until cheers erupted around me, and I realized what I had said, and I was suddenly frightened by my own words.

It's over...... How could I make such a stupid promise? What should I do......

"It's not...... That one...... No...... I mean......"

I hurriedly shook my hand, trying to explain that my promise was not my intention, but Xueluo looked at me in surprise, winked and asked:

"What's wrong, big hero?" Cherry looked at me and asked.

Seeing Xueluo's big sparkling eyes, and the eyes that seemed to reveal disappointment and sadness, I suddenly felt very sorry in my heart, and the truth I wanted to say in my throat was forced back.

"I ...... I mean...... "My cheeks are almost burning, and I can't tell what to say, especially in public, and I can't find the right words for a while," I mean...... Can you ...... That one...... Kiss me again? ”

Unable to find any other excuse, and under the gaze of the masses, I could only swallow my saliva, enough to find a perfunctory sentence to hide the panic in my heart.

As soon as I finished speaking, I was so anxious that I wanted to pat my thigh, I looked at the girl named Xueluo in front of me nervously, the girl's face was a little confused, but she quickly came back to her senses, and then came forward with a smile, and then she closed her eyes and kissed me directly on the lips!

A soft, moist, and a little warm feeling covered my lips, I experienced a strange sensation that I had never experienced before, I felt as if there was a fire burning in my lower abdomen, my heart fluttered and beat rapidly, my two hands began to disobey, I subconsciously put my arms around the girl's shoulders, and then closed my eyes and kissed them.

There was cheering all around, and the tension in my heart subsided a little.

Xueluo's lips left mine, and I wiped my mouth a little shyly, a little afraid to look her in the eye.

"Say something to everyone, hero." Xue Luo glanced at me and took two steps back, "How did you manage to sink so many ships?" ”

Xueluo suddenly pushed me in front of everyone, and in the face of hundreds, maybe even thousands of pairs of eyes, I felt an inexplicable panic, and I couldn't even speak. I cleared my throat and felt uneasy, but everyone looked at me expectantly.

"I ...... The ...... "I was stumbling and stumbling, and I didn't know how to speak."

"Hero, do you think we're going to be in danger next? Will we survive the robots? Xueluo asked me worriedly, "Do you have what it takes to defeat those robots?" Just like you sank the fleet of robots before, will you still perform miracles? ”

Can it be done? Can it work miracles?

Xueluo's words stopped me. Of course, I can't do it, with my ability, let alone 1,200 ships, even one ship can't be sunk, but if even I don't have confidence, then these people in front of me may be even more desperate.

In the face of so many people, in fact, I was so scared that my fingers were trembling, I really couldn't help but shout, I wasn't a hero at all, the real hero was Difa, I was just a fart who was almost scared to pee my pants.

But I couldn't say it, and when this sentence came to my lips, I was stuck.

Just as I hesitated, I suddenly remembered what Tefa had said before he fell into a coma, and he told me that if he wanted me to be a hero, maybe he had already anticipated my current situation. Did he mean to ask me to pretend to be his real hero?

Thinking of this, no matter what, I'm out of the way......

"Yes......" I said in a trembling voice, trying to make my voice look a little confident, "I'm going to protect everyone, and I'm going to fight off those robots again!" Those robots...... It's not scary at all!! I've ...... Know their weaknesses! ”

I shouted these words almost with my eyes closed, and when I said this, I felt a sudden silence around me, and when I opened my eyes, I realized that the people in front of me were looking at me in amazement, as if I had said something rebellious.

"Did you hear him say those robots aren't scary at all?"

"He said he'd fight off the robots!"

"He said he knew the weaknesses of those robots?"

There was a whisper in the crowd, and then the crowd erupted in cheers and shouts, and everyone seemed to believe my words and be infected by my voice.

Soon, the crowd broke through the cordon, they rushed forward, lifted me up, threw me high into the air, and shouted at me heroic.

"Hero! Hero! ”

Everyone was celebrating me, and I felt that they had gained confidence because of me, and I felt sincerely relieved, even though I was telling a lie, but seeing the smiles on the faces of these people, I also felt that my lies were worth it.

However, just as I landed, an alarm suddenly sounded on my watch:

"Alert! Discover the AI Quantum Stealth Deep Sea Fleet! Alert, discover two thousand one thousand AI quantum stealth deep-sea fleets! The fleet is still forty nautical miles away from the submarine base, please evacuate the A2 base immediately! ”

At the same time, the alarm sounded, and the watch in the hands of everyone present.

The smiles on everyone's faces disappeared when they heard the alarm sound from their watches, replaced by inexplicable horror, and then, I don't know who screamed "Run!" in the crowd. Then the crowd suddenly collapsed like a pagoda made of sand, and it broke up in an instant.

The people of this world are even more terrified of robots than I thought, and when they hear that robots are attacking, they are as frightened as if they heard that a ghost is coming, and they all lose their minds and start to run away at a loss. The few people who were still a little sane also ran forward and grabbed my hand and said:

"Here they are...... Help us...... You have a way to defeat them, and you can do it...... Help us......" An old man with pale hair looked at me with trembling old hands with a pitiful look in his eyes, but I was just as afraid, and I was frozen in place, at a loss.

"Calm down! Everyone, don't panic! Retreat to the escape center in an orderly manner! After all, Captain Smith was an experienced old man, and he immediately made a decision, raised his voice and began to command the people present in an orderly manner, but the fear and despair of the people were so serious that many people did not listen to Captain Smith's command and screamed and ran away on their own.

"Help us......" Xueluo looked at me in fear, her big eyes full of tears and some pleading looks. This is the last base of humanity...... If this place is destroyed by those robots as well...... We have nowhere to go...... My Mom and Dad...... I was killed by robots when I was very young...... If this place is taken again, even my sister will die......"

"I ......" I was scared, my hands were shaking, my teeth were chattering, I felt that both of my legs were completely weak, I really had never experienced this kind of thing, what should I do? I can't do anything, huh? I really want to cry, I don't want to stand in this position at all, I don't want to be a hero at all, I don't have that ability at all......

"I can't do it......" I whispered, tears about to come out.

"Luo Rong, do you have any good suggestions? You used the waves from the explosion of the combustible ice base under the sea to defeat the robot fleet, right? Do you have any good countermeasures now? The old man named Zhou Yuan's deputy walked up to me and asked in a low voice.

"I ...... I don't know what's going on here......" I said with some unconfidence.

"Luo Rong! Luo Rong! "Suddenly, I heard someone calling out to me, and I turned my head to see the blonde-haired Golori hurrying over with a melancholy face, gasping for breath. He wears an eyepatch on his left eye, which is also obscured by Wittgenstein's eyepatch.

"Brother, brother!" Seeing Gololi, I suddenly had a sense of security, Gololi has two personalities, and the other personality is Difa, as long as I think of Difa, I feel like I have grabbed a life-saving straw, and I feel saved.

I ran forward, and Golori threw herself into my arms crying.

"Great...... Hmm...... It's great that you're okay...... Luo Rong...... I've been scared since I woke up...... "I didn't expect Golori to cry directly in my arms, Gololi's personality is even weaker and timid than me, and what happened before must have frightened him."

"I ......" I steadied my brother, looked at the eyes of the people around me with some mind, and then lowered my head and whispered in Brotheroli's ear, "Brother...... That's the other one in your body...... It's the guy named Difa...... Can it come out now? ”

Golori was stunned, he raised his head with tears in his eyes, and his delicate face turned pale:

"You...... Do you want to see another me? ”

I looked at Golori and whispered:

"Well, the bots have already called...... Now only he may have a way...... Can...... Find a way to get him out for a while? ”

Golori wiped her tears and said with a complicated expression:

"I'm scared of him...... He's not a good guy...... Although he is very powerful......"

I stared at Golori, didn't speak, just stared into his eyes.

Golori lowered her head and said softly:

"Please, please don't look at me like that...... I—I see...... I'll just call him...... Can't be here, though...... Looking for a place in the middle of nowhere......"

"A remote place?" I asked, confused, glancing at Captain Smith, who was directing the panicked crowd.

Golori looked at Captain Smith and his deputy Zhou Yuan, and then said with some embarrassment:

"Hmm...... Tefa ...... He has a phobia of women...... There are so many girls here...... He—he's not going to come out......"

"Huh?" Although the situation was tense, I was still shocked to hear Golori's words. I looked around, and then said to Glori:

"Let's go to that corner, then." I pointed to a security door next to me that appeared to be a men's restroom.

Golori hurriedly shook her head and said:

"No, no...... I don't want to go to that place......"

I suddenly became anxious and asked:

"What's wrong? There are men all along that road......"

Golori's cheeks turned red, and she said with some embarrassment:

"Because...... I have a phobia of men, and when I go to a place where there are many men, I get scared......"
