Chapter 17: Bewilderment
In the café not far from Sam's house, Shen Yi still sat alone, holding a handheld computer in his hand, summarizing information from all sides, including the Decepticons that had appeared, their names, strengths, and other relevant information.
Without the assistance of Zeus, he could only input many materials by himself, which made his work efficiency much lower.
But Shen Yi is not in a hurry, so far, he has nothing else, just enough time.
The café's TV was still airing a report of the shootout on Fashion Avenue, and a presenter was standing in front of the smoked building, excitedly explaining what had just happened. Someone took pictures of the sound waves, and in the face of this terrifying mechanical monster, some of the so-called experts who had been invited were giving their opinions on this mechanical monster.
Some believe that it is a secret weapon built by the government of another country, while others believe that it is an invasion of an alien race.
Accounts differ and opinions vary.
A blonde woman with a coffee pot walked over: "Need more?"
"Thanks, one more drink is enough, I've had enough of it today. Shen Yi replied, staring intently at the screen.
"Well, you've been sitting here for four hours. The girl wriggled her plump buttocks and laughed, "Did a girl dump you?"
Shen Yi noticed the provocative tone in the other party's tone, and he smiled slightly: "No, I'm gay." ”
A look of disappointment appeared on the girl's face, and after pouring coffee for Shen Yi, Shen Yi could hear her angrily cursing: "Why should we be afraid of aliens?
Shen Yi smiled dumbly, opened the team channel casually, and asked, "How is the battle?"
"Beat the ass and pee!" Hong Lang shouted at the top of his voice, "Do you know how many Decepticons are chasing us? Twenty! Twenty of them, including hatchets, crowbars, and six diggers!"
The short-handled axe and crowbar are good to say, but the key is that the digging tiger troops are too terrifying, and the Hercules they form is still above Megatron in terms of strength ranking, and the harm to Hong Lang and the others can only escape.
"How many killed?" asked Shen Yi.
King Kong replied, "Just kill an ordinary Decepticon and get 6,000 points." ”
"Anything else?"
"No, but last night I killed the crankcase and got a car accelerator that can increase the speed of the car by 10 percent. ”
"No energy crystallization?"
"No, oh, by the way, Zhou Yiyu's kid, killed the laser bird and the thunder rod bird, maybe he has something extra. ”
Saying that King Kong had already called Zhou Yiyu, Zhou Yiyu took a while to connect: "What's the matter......"
His voice was gasping for words.
"The Boss wants to know what you got by killing the Laser Bird and the Thunderrod Bird, what are you doing? Are you hurt?"
"No, no, I'm fine...... Kindness...... Eight thousand points were harvested. In the channel, Zhou Yiyu's wheezing became heavier and heavier, as if someone was pinching his nose and talking.
Shen Yi frowned slightly: "Only points, what about other rewards, are there any energy crystals?"
"Oh...... Yes...... No...... Other gains......"
"What are you doing?" Shen Yi asked, "What about Michaela?"
"She's ...... ...... below me" Zhou Yiyu finally burst out uncontrollably: "Deeper, baby!"
“...... It seems that your gains are not small. Shen Yi cut off the connection: "King Kong, you ask the others to see if there is anything to gain." ”
"Okay. ”
After a while, King Kong replied: "Boss Chu has obtained a body stabilizer, but there is no energy crystallization either. I've asked other adventurers, and so far, no one has gotten their hands on it. ”
"That's not right. Shen Yi's brows furrowed even more.
In the world of robots, energy crystallization can be said to be the most common and common reward variety.
Generally speaking, after the adventurer kills the robot, there is a certain chance to obtain the energy crystals of the corresponding variety, although the probability of appearing is not high, but it is not so far that dozens of Decepticons have been eliminated, but none of them have been obtained.
To say that Transformers don't have energy crystallization, that's impossible. Because this is the basic power plant of robots, whether it is an Autobot or a Decepticon, there is this thing. In the first part, Megatron is stuffed with fire in his chest by Sam, which is actually fusing the fire with energy crystals, and causing Megatron's direct death.
In the battle just now, Zhou Yiyu even used the metal control to break through the external defense shield of the laser bird, and directly reached out to pinch and explode its energy crystal, which led to the laser bird's instant killing.
With the exception of liquid metal like the T1000, it has become an indisputable fact that almost all robots have energy crystals, so why has no one been able to get such a reward after fighting until now?
It's a bit too much to say.
Thinking of this, Shen Yi said, "I want to talk to Chu Sheng." ”
Soon Chu Sheng's voice came: "Shen Yi, what do you want to know?"
"Boss Chu, do you know why there is no energy crystallization to kill the Decepticons?"
"I don't know much about that. However, I've heard that the world of Transformers doesn't seem to produce energy crystals, and I haven't heard of anyone using energy crystals to create Transformers. ”
But that doesn't make sense. According to the consistent standards of the city, the fantasy world is rich in bloodlines and skills, the Xianxia world is rich in exercises and skills, the game world is rich in professions, bloodlines and skills, the ability world is rich in abilities and energy beads, and the science and technology world is rich in scientific and technological weapons and energy crystals. Isn't it strange that we're in the world of Transformers now, but we don't have energy crystals?"
"It's really strange, but the target we are facing this time is the Decepticons, and every Decepticon we kill has a reward, which is completely different from the previous mobs without rewards, have you ever thought about this question?"
"Then you mean to say that the city has replaced what should have been energy crystallization with a large number of blood spots?"
"That's what I thought. ”
"And why?"
"How do I know? Maybe the city doesn't want us to show up in the city with a lot of Transformers?"
"If that's the case, why is there a reward for Tinder Source Shards?"
Chu Sheng was dumbfounded.
It took him a long time before he answered: "There are countless puzzles in the world we live in, Shen Yi, I can't answer your questions, and I'm not interested in finding answers." ”
"That's the biggest difference between me and you......" Shen Yi said leisurely.
Closing the call, Shen Yi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he fell into contemplation again.
―――――――――――――――
* Command center.
On the computer screen, an American special forces team is being attacked by "poisonous scorpions".
This special squad escaped by luck after the attack on the US military base last night, and this battle should have been the first time that Captain Keller saw the true form of the Transformers. However, after the battle between the adventurer and the Decepticons, Minister Keller was clearly no longer so surprised.
But when he looked at the giant scorpion in the desert, he finally knew that this was not a secret weapon that any country could make.
He ordered: "Order the fleet to return." ”
This is an order that has never been seen before in the world of Transformers.
"But the navy of the * country is still ......," said one officer.
Keller replied categorically: "Order to return, this is not a war between countries, it is a war between the earth and alien planets." Until then, all humanity must join forces!"
"Do you want to join forces with those people?" Keller's chief of staff pointed to another set of images, which were the images of the Flood King Kong on the fashion boulevard.
Keller hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Then we have to wait until we get in touch with them before making a decision." ”
Standing outside the *command center, a smile appeared on the gentle face.
"How?" asked the ghost.
Gentleness walked forward: "Keller has agreed to withdraw his troops, so that there should be time to recall more troops before the big war begins." ”
"The premise is that they agree to a strong strike on the U.S. mainland." ”
"They'll agree, isn't that exactly what you're going to do?"
Yu smiled: "That's right. ”
Back in the informant's analysis hall, Gentle saw that Maggie was dressing herself up in a small dressing box, and then cleaned up and walked out the door.
glanced at Ou Yang gently, and Ou Yang nodded quietly.
Gentle understood, and said in a low voice: "She copied the information." ”
"Do you need me to follow?" asked the ghost.
"No, someone does this kind of little thing. Smile gently.
You glanced at her in amazement, but didn't say anything after all.
Leaving*, Maggie hailed a taxi.
"Where are you going, Miss?"
"Brooklyn. ”
"It's a black neighborhood, Miss. ”
"If you want to go, you will go, less nonsense!" Maggie said angrily.
The taxi driver smiled and stepped on the accelerator.
Twenty minutes later, Maggie finally arrived at her destination.
Ringing the doorbell, it was a fat man who opened the door, and was obviously taken aback when he saw Maggie: "Maggie?"
"I'm sorry to bother you. Maggie walked in quickly: "I need your help. ”
"No, this is my secret stronghold!" cried the fat man, "You shouldn't have come here!
Everything is as the plot deduces, Maggie and Fat Green walk to the room in a row.
Of course, Maggie didn't notice that the driver who had sent her didn't leave.
He quietly watched Maggie enter the house, picked up the intercom and said, "Hamilton reports to you, sir, the goods have been delivered." ”
"Good. Gently put down the intercom and nodded to You.
She turned and walked towards the command center.
In the command center, Minister Keller was still discussing things with his assistants.
"Analysis of all images has been carried out, and it has been confirmed that the target of the invasion is a robotic monster with significant firepower. Investigation and analysis have shown that this robotic monster has an IQ and is quick to react. It is not known how many of them are and how they are distributed, but from the available information, there will be no less than 200 individuals. ”
"Do you have any clues about the humans who are fighting the machines?" Keller asked.
"We searched the archives and didn't find any clues about these people, who are not Americans. ”
"It's even possible that it's not earthling. Keller replied angrily: "The situation we are facing is very complicated, and I need to report to the president immediately." ”
Just then, an officer walked over: "Security records indicate that an analyst copied the intrusion network signal. ”
"Do you know who it is?" Keller asked quickly.
Gentle strode over: "It should be Maggie, twenty minutes ago, I saw her go out in a panic." ”
"Search for her by satellite immediately, and get her back for me!" ordered Minister Keller.
"No need. Gently said: "I saw the taxi she got into, and I had already called the driver just now to ask for the address given by the driver." ”
Taking the address, John Keller nodded to Gentleness: "Good job." ”
Gentle smiled slightly, and was about to leave, Minister Keller suddenly said, "Please wait a minute." ”
"Is there anything else? Mr. Minister. ”
John Keller pondered for a moment and asked, "So...... Do you know why she did that?"
Gentle didn't expect the other party to ask herself this question.
After thinking about it, she replied, "I don't know either. But from what I've observed, she's supposed to be a competitive woman. I think she lost to me in terms of signal decoding...... I mean, my group must be unconvinced. ”
"So you think ......"
"I think she should be looking for help, maybe she thinks it will save her face...... She didn't mean to betray the country. ”
John Keller nodded, clearly agreeing with the gentle statement. "It's good that you're a smart girl, attentive and capable, responsible and have a good heart," he said. ”
He was clearly referring to gentleness for Maggie.
After a moment's silence, John Keller said, "So, would you like to work with me? I need a right-hand man." ”
A glint flashed in Gentle's eyes: "Of course, Mr. Minister, I am extremely honored by this. ”
