Chapter 239: World War II Survivors
In a trance, I only felt my back grinding against the hard metal siding, and the tall figure in front of me was dragging me with my left leg, and I couldn't see his appearance clearly, only his tall body, long silver-white hair, and the gray scales of his body skin.
Finally we arrived in a large and bright hall, the walls of which were covered with high-tech displays, on which all kinds of green data flashed, and on the side there was a huge 3D image sand table with countless planets spinning. I'm guessing it's a model of a galaxy.
Countless people were busy next to the monitor, and suddenly I saw Commander Chen, who was actually driving this huge machine, and then I saw countless familiar people on the other side pointing at the monitor...... Fan Qunping, Wang Haiyan, Chen Shaolong, Chen Shaohu... They were all alive...
The man threw me to the ground, and I barely managed to stand up, only to find Quanzi, Ah Fang, and Ai Qin kneeling beside me, already dying.
The man who dragged me in had turned to face me at the moment, he was wearing a heavy metal mask, through which I could only see its dark green eyes, he was not human, I told myself for sure.
Unexpectedly, he pulled out a pistol and pointed it at me and asked, "Where's the thing?" ”
"What's that?" I asked, a little confused.
"I knew you wouldn't be honest!" After he finished speaking, he raised his gun, and killed Quanzi with a "bang", and he continued to ask, "What do I want?" ”
"I don't know what you want?" I looked at him in despair.
"Bang!" With a bang, he killed Ah Fang again.
I didn't even have the strength to stand up at the moment, so I could only desperately shout, "Stop, stop!" What the fuck do you want? ”
"Battery!" He gave me a vicious kick, "I want batteries, I want batteries!" I know, the battery is in your hands! ”
Ai Qin looked at me from the side, "Dezi, don't give it to him, if you give it to him, the world will fall into chaos, don't give it to him!" ”
"I want you to talk more!" He unceremoniously opened fire, and in front of me he shot Aichen again.
"No!" I sat up from the ground with a long howl. I was shocked to find that I was lying on a simple bed, not a bed to be exact, just a rag under me.
Aichen lay in a puddle of dark green liquid on the side, and a person on the side was smearing dark green juice on the scars on her face.
"Stop, don't touch her!"
"Are you awake?" He said in a strange accent.
He and I spoke at about the same time. He glanced at me, and through the faint fluorescence I found that the person in front of me was actually a European face, with a bare head but a white beard, and I was surprised that there was a big living person here, and even more strange European and American appearance He could also speak Chinese.
"You ask me, 'Is my name?' Let me think about it, what am I called, I'm sorry! No one asked me that question for so many years that I forgot what I should be called, Michael or James! He narrated with some confusion and some stuttering.
"Why are you here?" I struggled to stand up, and found that I was also covered in this dark green slime, "What is this?" ”
"Don't be disgusted yet, this place is the sewer pipe of the whole machine, and this slimy thing is very likely to be the excrement of the whole machine!" He said.
"What? What is this feces? "I couldn't figure out what this person was talking about.
"Hell knows what kind of is! Anyway, this thing is very good, it is a good medicine for trauma! He said, "You both have your bodies ripped apart by those ugly sisters, and now you can wake up and talk to me, you have to thank these disgusting things!" ”
"Ugly sister? What is Ugly Sister? ”
"I can't figure out why you Z people call such ugly things 'sister', I'm sorry I can only read and write, which is roughly what it means!" The logic of his language finally returned to normal, and it was clear that he hadn't spoken to anyone in a long time.
I think he's talking about the ghost's 'ghost'! In short, this strange person has not hurt us for the time being, and I am relieved.
"Who are you, and when did you come to this place, this place is so hard to find, don't you tell me that you are a fisherman who stumbled into it by mistake?" I wondered.
"Fishermen? Oh, no, no, no, young man, I am a glorious soldier! He finished painting Aichen's face and walked towards me, "Hell, I close my eyes and think about it now, I just remember that our ship was attacked by a Japanese submarine and was about to sink, and a dozen of us got on the escape boat, and in the end three of us got here alive!" ”
He sat down on the hard metal plate and continued, "This place is amazingly big, it's horrible! We were stuck, and I don't know how many years it was? You see my beard is gray, and they're all dead! The two guys who spoke Chinese and French died, and I was the only one left! ”
"So you learned Chinese from a native of country Z?" I asked.
"Haha, I'm so happy to be able to speak Chinese with you, I can speak French and your language now, but my mother tongue is almost forgotten by me!" He paused and continued, "Hey, who are you, and how did you get into this place?" ”
"That's a long story!" I said.
"Then don't be in a hurry, let's talk slowly!" He waved his hand and said, "With you here in the future, I won't be alone!" Promise me that you will not leave me, or you will be sorry for my life-saving grace to you! ”
"What about two more partners?" I asked.
"Then I don't know!" He said, "It's been a lot of commotion outside these days, and it's not peaceful! He thought for a moment and continued, "Maybe it's been eaten!" ”
I looked at Ai Qin who had fallen asleep, and for a while my heart was mixed, and this hurried adventure would probably be the return of the four of us in life. I think of the nightmare just now, what is the origin of this masked man who haunts me at this moment? Before I fell asleep, was it the World War II veteran in front of me, or was it the Wansheng Stone?
The juice that smeared all over my body is indeed effective, coupled with the special repair of our blood, now in addition to the soreness of muscles and bones, the whole person is indeed in a much better state, looking at Ai Qin who is still sleeping not far away, I don't know where to go for a while, so I just want to know more about the person in front of me first.
According to his account, this guy should have been one of the soldiers who went to the island in World War II, but he was trapped here and didn't escape. He has lived here alone for so many years, there must be something special about him.
"Michael! I'll call you Michael! I said, "My name is Tokuko, thank you for saving your life!" ”
"Well, maybe I should really be called Michael!" He smiled, "Tokuko, well, that's a strange name!" ”
"How many years have you been here?" I asked.
"Is the damn war over?" He asked me rhetorically.
"It's been almost eighty years!"
"Oh my God, damn it, I'm almost a hundred years old!" He suddenly said with some fear, "It's terrible, this place has trapped me for eighty years!" ”
I looked at his face, estimated to be forty or fifty years old, thinking that it must be the radiation of the Wansheng Stone or those parasites that delayed his aging, I followed his words and asked, "It's really terrifying, how have you survived these eighty years?" ”
"It was very difficult at first, first of all I talked to myself, in English, French and Chinese, and I played three different people to prevent myself from going crazy. It's been a long time, and I've been fulfilling every day in order to survive. There's plenty of water here, and I'll have to keep hunting, or I'll starve! "One time I had a very serious injury while hunting, and that was the first time I tried to treat myself with something so disgusting, and as you can see, it's amazing." ”
"You've been here for so many years, haven't you thought to get to know here?"
"Of course, I've been to a lot of places, the farthest one for three days, but I don't have anything to carry fresh water, so I'll have to go home again!" He paused and continued, "At that point I realized that this was supposed to be a goddamn machine, and I was trapped inside. ”
"Machine, is this a ship or a submarine?" I asked, pretending I didn't know anything.
"What the hell knows what it is?" The man in front of him said, "It's amazing who could make something like this, I thought it was built by the Nazis...... You say that submarines are very similar, sometimes they rumble for a long time, and by the way, then the fresh water is gone, and I have to endure it for a while, but there are benefits. ”
"Benefits, what benefits!"
"The good thing was that I was able to change the taste, and there were so many fresh fish to eat at that time!"
I thought to myself, maybe the huge mechanical consumption of this spaceship will cause the freshwater treatment equipment to shut down, and at first this guy said that there are fish and shrimp to eat, I don't quite understand.
"How do you usually hunt? I don't think you have any weapons in this room! I asked, skeptically.
"You come with me!" With some excitement, he led me through the green pool to a house where I saw several World War II U.S. military M1 rifles, a dagger, and several military uniforms hanging next to them, and a pile of animal skulls and weapons made of fish bones on the other side.
"I used to try to tame an eight-legged leopard, but then it bit me while I was asleep, so I killed and ate it, but it is still my good friend." Michael pointed to the skull of a leopard and said, "I call him Downs, he was my childhood friend!" ”
It's hard for ordinary people to understand Michael's weird way of making friends, but I really understand him, and he can still maintain a positive mood in this oppressive environment, what a psychologically strong person he must be.
Now it's certain that Michael really was just the one who had stumbled into this place by mistake, and he didn't know anything about the Ten Thousand Life Stones. It's just that what he doesn't know is that the Wansheng Stone is quietly changing him, such as the fact that his aging is extremely slow.
"Will this gun still work?" I asked.
"Of course it works, but I advise you not to use it!"
"Why?"
"There's a creature here that is unusually sensitive to gunpowder, and that creature is hard to deal with!" He said.
"Then I'll use it as a burning stick!" I grabbed one of his guns and asked him for some bullets.
Out of his treasure room, he grabbed me at the door and asked, "What do you mean by a burning stick?" ”
"It is a killing weapon that has inherited 5,000 years of Chinese civilization!" I'm kidding.
He was stunned, perhaps thinking that I was speaking very strongly, and carried the remaining two guns on his back.
We waited by Ai Qin's side for her to wake up, and at this moment I wondered where Ah Fang and Quanzi had gone, whether they had really been dismembered by those ugly apes as Michael said.
Thinking of this, I suddenly remembered that before I fell asleep, I heard "cluck-cluck!" The dark shadow disappeared in an instant after hearing it, could it be that this sound was also made by Michael?
"Do you know how to deal with those chimpanzees?" I asked.
"What chimpanzee?" He didn't know what I meant by chimpanzee.
"That's the charm you said!"
He shook his head, "It's hard to deal with, they don't have natural predators here!" You can only find a way to avoid them! ”
"What are they? Have you caught them before, or have you ever eaten them? ”
"Oh! The orangutans you said are very apt, except that they are faster and have higher IQs than chimpanzees...", as if he had something inconvenient to say, he began to spit out, "Well, perhaps, they are not creatures on Earth!" ”
"Why?" I asked.
"They seem to be waiting for something?" Michael said suddenly, "They are very territorial, as long as they are their territory, I can't get close, and they occupy more important positions." ”
"For example?"
"Like a fresh water supply pipeline!" Michael said.
"What else?"
"A mysterious door!" "There's always a rumbling sound coming out of that door. ”
