Chapter 15: Another Story
The failure of the extermination operation caused the traditionally deserted infirmary to become noisy, and the surrounding sounds were chaotic, but the atmosphere was unusually depressing, and the insects had brought a huge blow to humanity, although not enough to slump everyone, enough to make many people uneasy.
Looking at the unconscious Li Rui, Jennifer couldn't cry, and almost used all her strength to hug Li Rui's sleeping body tightly, for fear that he would disappear in the next second, and shouted hysterically to Pat: "Why are you not injured, but Li Rui is unconscious?"
"He saved my life, and I saved his life, we don't owe each other!" Pat felt that he didn't want to answer irrational questions, he was not injured naturally to thank the unconscious earthling in front of him, but he couldn't bear anything because of this, what should have been done has been done, and what can't be done can't be blamed on me.
"He saved your life, you were intact, you saved his life, but he was unconscious, you really don't owe each other!" Jennifer looked at Pat fiercely, as if she felt that it was all his conspiracy.
"Your emotions are not very stable, whatever you think, I have a clear conscience. ”
"Have a clear conscience, are you really okay with a clear conscience? Don't you feel guilty? Why did you enter the battlefield without permission, why did the giant worm come at you, did you say it clearly?" Ah Xun also questioned Pat's attitude, which should not be the attitude of a person who has just been saved by someone.
"I can't tell, anyway, I've done my best to save his life, my mission was completed yesterday, and I'm ready to go back to my life. Pat also wondered in his heart that this really looked like a conspiracy, and if this was all planned by the client, then this kind of person was terrible!
"You can't go!" Jennifer was very unwilling, Li Rui was still in a coma, how could he let the person who directly caused him to leave like this?
Ah Xun glanced at the emotional Jennifer, if the earthlings controlled Pat, it would be equivalent to a dispute with the Nohir people on the surface, and the person who issued the task would definitely be happy to see it, from a rational point of view, no matter how you look at it, it will not be a good way to deal with it: "Let him go, there is no point in leaving him, we can't kill him, so the price Li Rui paid to save him will not be in vain?"
"But......" Jennifer wanted to say something, but was stopped by Ah Xun: "There's nothing to do, calm down." ”
After Pat left, Ah Xun felt that he needed to do something, otherwise it was difficult to predict what kind of backhand he would encounter later: "I have something to ask the marshal, and Li Rui will hand it over to you." Ah Xun felt that he should need to confirm his thoughts, turned to look at Wendy with a sad expression, and felt that it should be easier for girls to communicate: "Wendy, if you can, you can accompany Jennifer here." ”
Without waiting for Wendy to answer, Ah Xun walked out of the infirmary. According to the medical staff, Li Rui's body did not have any damage, and now he fell into a deep coma, probably because of the heavy injuries he received before, so that a well-trained top agent automatically blocked the pain from the neural induction system in his brain to protect his spirit from damage, which is enough to show the lethality of the injury, after all, even the mecha was broken, let alone a flesh and blood body?
Now it seems that it is very obvious that someone has used Pat to lure out the most powerful monster in the Gobi Center, in order to give humanity a blatant threat. This person behind the scenes has a very accurate grasp of people's hearts, and it is expected that a person who is willing to accept this kind of task will definitely try to venture to the center of the Turing Gobi, otherwise this plan will not succeed, does he really want to cause a war? Then I will not give you this opportunity!
According to the performance of the insect swarm, the whole Turing will magnify the limits of the creatures living nearby because of the influence of a supernatural force, why it is only effective for insects is unknown, it may be that the body structure of the insect is relatively simple, or it may be that this influence is very limited enough to affect other species, or it may be really a curse, in short, the insect will become a giant beast in the Turing Gobi, and the Turing Gobi will lose this ability, and the Nohir people are not allowed to enter the heartland, what is there? And why only for the Nohirs?
The swarm is affected by this supernatural force, and as the size increases, the restrictions also become strict, it doesn't matter if the ordinary sand scorpion is brought to the mothership, and the smaller self-detonating beetles are not significantly changed even if they are sent to Danas, but the giant beetle, as long as it leaves the center, begins to shrink in size, and it is obviously severely limited in range, and there is no way to leave the center too far. That's right, if this giant beast could easily leave the hinterland, the Nohir would have died long ago!
A supernatural being that does not allow the Nohir people to approach and can turn bugs into giant beasts, the forbidden area of life that has been deserted for a long time, is slowly unveiling its mysterious veil and revealing a hideous smile.
"A total of 70 unmanned excavators, 2,300 titanium alloy mecha fighters, 600 Falcon unmanned enemy destroyers, the operation failed, 24 unmanned excavators were damaged, 197 titanium alloy mechas, and the Falcon had no loss, 13 people died, 119 people were seriously injured, and 36 people were slightly injured. ”
Marshal Lin listened to Jason's report, his face was calm, for people who had long been accustomed to seeing life and death, this battle damage did not affect his mood at all: "In the future, minor injuries do not need to be counted as battle damage, Jarvis's research on the water of life seems to have gained some gains, and he has developed a new recovery potion, and ordinary minor injuries can no longer affect combat effectiveness, but unfortunately the effect still fails to reach the level of water of life." ”
Ah Xun pondered all kinds of doubts, and soon came to the door of the commander's office, without reporting or knocking on the door, he walked in with his head down, and saw Jason who had just finished his report: "Oh, someone, I'm sorry, I'll do it again." He turned around and walked to the door, standing upright: "Report!"
"Come in. ”
Jason made a little mess with the performance of an old man and a young man on his back, sorted out the information and left.
"I felt the need to take a trip to Danas to find out the truth. Ah Xun had doubts on his face, but his tone was very firm.
"Do you think they will tell the truth?" Marshal Lin squinted his eyes slightly, looking at the unusually dignified Ah Xun.
"You have to go to find out. ”
The old man thought about it quietly and gave the itinerary: "It's okay, you go back to rest first, let's leave together tomorrow, and before they have a meeting, we will show our bottom line first, so as not to have to talk too much." ”
The council hall in Nohir was mostly idle, after all, meetings of tens of thousands of people were not common in themselves, more often than not, there were only a few people in a huge meeting hall, and now there were three people talking softly.
"We meet again, friends from Earth, and we deeply regret what happened to you in the Turing Gobi. Personally, I really hope to get the friendship of the earthlings, and I will try my best to fight for the conditions for the earthlings in the council. Tailan still had a friendly attitude, but Ah Xun didn't think that this friendship was really friendly, and thought: "What you said is really wonderful, if you didn't deliberately conceal the situation and send someone to cause the accident, all this would not have happened at all, and now you are acting here again." ”
"President Tyran is really well-informed, and you already know what happened yesterday in Danas. Obviously, Marshal Lin is pointing to something, and it is just right.
"It's nothing, there was a young man who came back from Turing and went to the Adeptus Society to submit a mission report, and now many people know about it. Tyran thought for a moment, what was the young man's name, Pat, a little guy who had just become a high-level adequacy at the age of 202.
"Oh, he came back pretty quickly, I thought we should have arrived first. "Of course, Marshal Lin thinks that this is not important, the important thing is that you know it, you know that we can talk.
"Although they are 3,700 kilometers apart, if a high-level ability person travels overnight, there is still plenty of time for a day and a night. Tyran gave a reasonable explanation for this meaningless question, although he knew that it didn't matter if he didn't explain, but it would always be easier to communicate if he explained it clearly.
"In that case, we think too much. Marshal Lin glanced at Ah Xun, and the meaning in his eyes was obvious, "Do you believe it?" The response given by Ah Xun was also obviously "Ghost believes!"
"It's understandable that something like this has happened, and it's understandable to think about it more. Tyran was still polite, not in a hurry, and it was difficult to elaborate on it.
"yes, I think there must be a lot of people in Nohir who don't like us outsiders, such as the mission of the Anomalous Society. "If there really is such a person, who knows that the bugs will be dispatched by the whole army of the Nohirs, and the person who is scheduled to take over the mission will go to the Gobi Center, then who else will be this person if not you? Who else cares so much about the situation of the earthlings?
"I think it was really just an accident, I also looked at the quest about storytelling, and in addition to not understanding the purpose, it doesn't mean that the publisher of the quest is hostile to the earthlings. ”
"I hope so, Nohir is a beautiful planet, and the people of the earth don't want to destroy the peace here, they just want to blend in with this peace, but now it seems that Turinggo is not very calm. "The implication is that we also have a bottom line, and a space that can survive is the most basic requirement, and if it is urgent, war is inevitable.
"On that note, I think after the meeting, there will be a solution, we all like the calm. "Tyran is very sincere about the solution, after all, he is the head of one side, and he must always think about the entire Nohir Council, and peace is naturally what everyone wants to see.
"So now can President Tyran tell us the real story about the Turing-Gobi?"
"It starts after the fall of the gods......"
Hearing this, Ah Xun was immediately unhappy, and without waiting for Old Man Lin to react, he immediately aimed at Tailan: "You're not going to continue to fool, are you?"
Tailan didn't think much of Ah Xun's questioning, but what he wanted to say was the truth, and for the earthlings, this level of truth was enough: "In fact, thousands of years have passed, and most of the stories that have been handed down are myths, although the credibility is not high, at least as a reference, and I feel that the version I have heard is very close to the truth." ”
Tyran sorted out his thoughts and decided to start here: " Before dying, the supreme god turned his body into everything scattered in the world, of which his heart turned into an artifact, in the division war, the rebel leader got this artifact, relying on the power of the supreme god, invincible, but people gradually lost their sanity, the leader's cronies not far from seeing him become a killing machine, while the leader was drunk to steal the artifact, quietly hidden, the rebel leader lost this artifact after the strength was greatly reduced, unfortunately died in a battle, the rebels lost the supreme commander, morale was sluggish, and finally lost, after the death of the rebel leader, the artifact became an ownerless thing, gradually out of control, constantly exuding powerful power around, affecting the ecological environment, causing monsters to run rampant, and the plains have become wastelands. ”
"So you think there's an artifact hidden in the heartland?" Ah Xun looked at Tyran in disbelief.
"Yes. ”
"You're really unreliable than Pat......"
