Chapter 264: Shamelessness
Exactly as Hal had guessed.
At first, Shi Sishi led his team into the jungle to rescue people.
But soon, he realized something was wrong.
As an old professor of Tianxing College, Shi Sishi’s knowledge is indeed profound, regardless of his character. However, even he could not recognize what these strange plants were.
Hat grass, death pepper, black tango, blue wind chime, etc...
Even on the outskirts of the jungle, he and his dozen or so disciples were unable to identify the plants that were not considered deadly. They could only find some similar ones from their memories.
The old dean and Wang Luo speculated that the plants came from the starry sky, and Shi Sishi made the same judgment.
But their situations are different and their choices are different.
The Longcheng team was trapped, and even though they guessed that it was an alien plant, they just wanted to escape for the time being.
After Shi Sishi led the team into the jungle, they made marks along the way to ensure that they could return along the same route, so they had no worries and did not worry about getting lost in the jungle.
Therefore, Shi Sishi had other ideas——
He wants to leave his name in history!
After this idea came into being, saving people became a secondary concern, and he began to focus on finding wreckage, speculating that there was a high probability that there were wreckage of alien spacecraft in this area.
Even though the journey was full of dangers, team members were exhausted, and some were even seriously injured, he never thought of returning.
This is a great cause, and it is normal for a few people to die.
As long as he could get out alive.
“Almost!”
Shi Sishi was really unwilling to accept this, but under the current circumstances, he had no other choice.
Now, he could only lead Su Xia, the old dean and others away and take them out of the forest, and then he would lead a group of fearless people back to search for the wreckage of the spacecraft.
He saw the two Hals beside Su Xia, but he did not think they were alien machines. He thought they were ordinary auxiliary robots that Su Xia brought out from the Oasis Camp.
But soon, Shi Sishi's expression changed again.
He saw the shabby little robot enter the jungle next to the swamp and drag out a silver-gray boat from an area covered with dead branches and leaves.
"That ship...when was it there?"
Shi Sishi's heart sank, and he had a bad feeling.
It looked like the silver-gray boat had been buried there long before all of them arrived.
And that shabby little tracked robot knew where it was buried, which meant...
That robot had been to this area before?
Or is it that this area was actually created by this robot?
"No, this robot..."
Shi Shishi's eyes widened, and in an instant, it was as if a thunderbolt exploded in his mind, splitting away all his doubts.
That little robot came from the stars!
But why...the robot actually raised its head, as if asking Beifeng something?
"The north wind got there first!" Shi Sishi was filled with resentment, his old body trembling. This was his chance, his page of history, but it was snatched away by the north wind.
Bei Feng had already discovered the wreckage of a spaceship in an oasis camp, and he had even discovered this place.
How unfair God is!
Shi Sishi didn't notice that his little disciple Chang Rui, who was standing beside him, looked even worse than him.
Ever since he joined the NPC camp, Chang Rui had been doing well. He even recognized professors like Shi Sishi as his teachers and had never encountered any troubles. Until that day, he came to the Oasis Camp.
The NPC named Bei Feng could actually recognize his player identity!
Since then, Chang Rui has become much more cautious.
Bei Feng became the NPC he least wanted to see, no doubt about it.
But now, the North Wind, together with the old dean of the academy, was riding on a silver-gray boat and was about to arrive at the small island where he was.
"Li Yun and the dog have been exposed. Could their exposure be related to Bei Feng?" Chang Rui was nervous and extremely uneasy.
He didn't want to give up this identity. Even if his plan to sell out the joint camp failed, he could still make money from other channels through this identity.
As a native of Longcheng, he has much more choices than Li Yun and the dog.
"Huh...stay calm, don't show any abnormality."
Chang Rui thought so and tried hard to force a smile, looking as happy as the others around him.
He received news about Li Yun and the dog, and now it was clear that although the people in the joint camp had locked them up, there was not much actual evidence after all.
The biggest problem was the dog.
That damn dog was AFK for too long and was discovered.
But he and Li Yun could still separate themselves from the dog and ensure their own safety.
"As long as the teacher is here, I will be fine." Chang Rui rolled his eyes and looked at Shi Sishi beside him. This old professor was his greatest reliance.
Soon, the silver-gray boat drifted and swayed to the small island in the middle of the lake.
This boat is naturally the tool that Hal uses to enter and exit the island in the middle of the lake on a daily basis. It is not big and can only carry five or six people at a time.
Su Xia, the old dean, Wang Luo and the two Hals were the first group of people to arrive on the island and got off the boat one after another.
Leave one Hal behind and drive the boat back.
"Haha, Commander, long time no see!" A burly man came up from the crowd in the joint camp and greeted with a loud laugh.
This man's name is Lu Long, he is Lu Ba's younger brother and one of the representatives of the joint .
Ms. Liuye and the others stepped forward.
"It's been a long time indeed."
Su Xia smiled and nodded, shaking hands or patting shoulders with everyone. She acted very naturally and soon they were chatting together.
He brought bad news.
Let these guys laugh for a while, it will be hard to laugh later.
"Commander, it was such a joy to defeat An Lan last time!" Lu Long said, his voice full of admiration, "Just seeing those photos of the scene makes my blood boil. I wish I was there at the time... If there is such a battle next time, you must call me!"
"Okay, next time for sure!"
"Commander, please call me next time!" someone else spoke up, looking excited.
"no problem!"
"And I've long wanted to fight those damn robots head-on!"
"Okay, call everyone up then!"
The battle to defeat An Lan made Su Xia the spiritual leader of many members of the resistance army.
When they saw him at this time, many people were as excited as if they had seen their idol, their faces flushed.
Even though these guys are psychic creatures and have a high status in their respective organizations, in front of Su Xia they still look like a young man just starting out, full of passion.
Shi Sishi and his dozen or so disciples stood aside, looking out of place and somewhat awkward.
Fortunately, the old dean and Wang Luo were there to communicate with them.
While Su Xia was chatting with the other members of the resistance army, the old dean also asked Shi Sishi: "Old Shi, why did you lead them to take the risk of landing on this island?"
He asked directly, his old eyes looking straight at Shi Shishi.
In terms of both status and age, the old dean is half a generation older than Shi Sishi and had once promoted him.
Facing the question from the old dean, Shi Sishi's face changed slightly, and his eyes dodged for a moment. After a moment, he replied, "I think there should be wreckage of an alien spaceship nearby. As long as we can study the wreckage, we may be able to obtain technology that is not inferior to that of the mechanical race... For the sake of the human race, I am willing to take the risk."
"For the human race?"
The old dean still looked directly at Shi Sishi and repeated these four words with a special meaning in his tone.
Soon, he sighed, shook his head, and stopped asking questions.
From the perspective of justice, occupying and obtaining some results that do not belong to oneself, using the perspectives of "for the human race", "for all mankind", "for defeating the mechanical race", etc., is a habit passed down from generation to generation in the academy.
As long as you stand on the moral high ground, you will not be afraid of being criticized by others and you can do anything with a clear conscience.
To be honest, this was actually passed down by the old dean.
The whole college learned from his temper and his thick skin.
Unexpectedly...
Someone actually used this excuse to deal with him.
"Before taking the risk, you should ask your disciples and others what they think." The old dean sighed, "They are still young and should not sacrifice themselves for your adventure."
“They will understand.”
Shi Sishi calmed himself down, kept his expression unchanged, and answered like this.
"If they succeed, their names will be recorded in history. Even if they are just left in a corner, they will be remembered by future generations. This is their honor."
"Perhaps."
The old dean's gaze moved, bypassing Shi Sishi and seeing the dozen or so young disciples behind him.
The youngest is less than 30 years old and has just completed the initial accumulation. Their life has just started, and the next few decades will be their time to shine.
If it weren't for Su Xia, these outstanding young people might have died in Hal's siege, paying the price of their lives for Shi Shishi's greed and risk-taking.
At this moment, after hearing the conversation between the old dean and their teacher, these young people realized that their teacher's purpose was not that simple.
"Are there wreckage of alien spaceships nearby?" a young disciple asked in surprise.
"I knew that these plants definitely do not belong to our planet." Another disciple's eyes lit up.
"So, that little robot, he is also..."
These young people are the elites of the academy. They are so smart that they can instantly connect everything that happened during this period with just a little hint.
It is naturally exciting to be able to have direct contact with alien civilizations.
But besides being happy, they also understood their teacher Shi Sishi's approach, and their hearts couldn't help but become a little complicated.
At the same time, everyone in the joint camp surrounding Su Xia also learned about the situation.
Ms. Willow looked at Hal, and thought that this guy came from an alien planet. Her eyes lit up and she said with a smile, "So it was you who fired the gun just now. You made us nervous for a long time."
"I thought it was the killers from the Zero Point Tavern. I wrongly blamed them." Lu Long also laughed and said, "Let me tell you, the Zero Point Tavern organization still has some credibility. The members without credibility have been cleared out by themselves."
"Natives, I do want to kill you."
Hal spoke in a cold and inhuman tone, and continued: "I have arranged everything around here. If the captain hadn't shown up, you would all be dead bodies by now."
"What? Captain?"
Hearing this name, everyone was stunned. It was obviously referring to Su Xia.
They thought that Su Xia just became friends with this little robot and could communicate with it, but they never expected that Su Xia's identity was so special.
"captain?"
Pairs of surprised eyes rested on Su Xia, and the disbelief and confusion in those eyes were almost overflowing.
A few guys with simpler brains were quickly relieved - after all, he was Commander Beifeng. He could even defeat An Lan, so what was wrong with him being the captain of an alien spaceship?
In their minds, "north wind" is almost synonymous with the word "omnipotent".
But most people are still confused, how can one become an alien captain as an indigenous person?
"Little robot, can the first one to discover the spaceship become the captain?" One of Shi Sishi's disciples asked. After all, he was from Longcheng and was well-educated. He had a natural arrogance towards the small resistance organization in the wilderness.
If the North Wind could do it, then so could they.
Kehal just gave him a cold look and said, "You are dreaming!"
“Ah, this…”
The disciple's face changed. He didn't expect the robot's answer to be so straightforward.
Is this how the program is designed?
Or did Su Xia ask him to answer like this?
Another disciple asked, "Are there any special conditions? Do I need to pass any tests?"
"Don't even think about it. He's the only one on this planet who can be the captain. None of you are worthy enough!"
Hal spoke impatiently, without even looking at him, and directly interrupted his thoughts without any tact.
These indigenous peoples—
Being so ordinary and yet so confident really annoyed him.
"Why? What's the difference?" the older student asked. "If it's knowledge, we can all learn it."
He asked this, and the other disciples looked at Hal, wanting a precise answer.
No matter what, the ability of elites like them who came out of Dragon City to learn knowledge and skills is definitely not worse than that of the leaders of small organizations in the wilderness.
However, Hal was too lazy to answer, leaving these disciples of Shi Shishi aside in embarrassment.
Su Xia smiled, reached out and touched Hal's big eyes that looked like telescopes, signaling him to calm down.
Then, he looked at the group of disciples, and his gaze fell directly on the last one.
"Chang Rui."
Su Xia put away the smile on her face and walked over.
Chang Rui's face changed slightly. It had finally come and he couldn't avoid it.
He swallowed, forced himself to remain calm, faced Su Xia, and said with a forced smile: "Commander Beifeng, what's the matter?"
"You know what it is." Su Xia replied.
"I...how would I know?"
"Didn't your two friends inform you?"
"I……"
Chang Rui's heart trembled. Su Xia seemed to know everything, but he didn't even have the courage to confront Su Xia or even look her in the eye.
Fortunately, at this time, Shi Sishi stepped forward and stood in front of Su Xia.
After the meeting at the Oasis Camp, the two faced off again.
Everyone was looking at this place, the voices of conversation became less and less, and it gradually became quiet.
The atmosphere gradually began to become tense.
Shi Sishi didn't have any good impression of Su Xia. Last time, Su Xia disrupted his joint plan, and this time, his plan to find the wreckage failed.
"Beifeng, what do you want to do?" He said in a bad tone, looking directly at Su Xia.
"You know what I want to do." Su Xia's expression remained unchanged and he gave a similar answer.
"Why, do you still think my disciple is undead?"
"Something big happened out there."
"No matter what happened, it has nothing to do with my disciple!" Facing Su Xia, Shi Sishi stood in front of Chang Rui and behaved quite tough.
