Volume 3 Chapter 151 Lin Xu's Identity Exposed
"Come to think of it, you know so much about humans, and you even have technology passed down to you by humans, but your civilization has never seen humans?" Lin Xu asked puzzled.
"We have seen humans, of course we have." The receptionist who was explaining to Lin Xu suddenly became a little anxious.
It's like being caught bragging.
"Really? But you just said 'it is said'." Lin Xu said with a smile.
"I know this information from historical records. It must be heard! Ten thousand years ago, our civilization was already a civilization that had close interactions with humans." The receptionist said quickly.
And it wasn't just one receptionist, but receptionists from various races and civilizations on the war planet, all of them spoke in unison.
Speaking of which, it was the first time that Lin Xu saw them so unanimous in their opinions on one thing.
"Oh, so do you have any film and television footage from ten thousand years ago? I want to see what humans looked like." Lin Xu made a request.
"I'm sorry, the video and film materials about communicating with humans are also top secret in our civilizations. We can only report it to our superiors. As for whether we can get the video and film materials, it depends on the opinions of the alliance's top leaders." The receptionist replied.
Lin Xu nodded and did not delve into the issue further, but he knew that he would definitely not be able to see any film or television materials.
These guys can't even recognize themselves as humans, let alone self-regulating mechanical aggregates, so how could they possibly have any video footage of them communicating with humans?
I just don't know how much truth or false the information they just told me about the Cleansers is.
While Lin Xu was visiting the War Star accompanied by the reception staff.
The top leaders of the Rebel Alliance are also continuing their discussion on the civilization represented by Lin Xu.
Of course, the most important thing is to discuss how to cooperate with the civilization represented by Lin Xu.
Finally, after Lin Xu had been playing around without a care in the world for several days, the top leaders of the Rebel Alliance began to get restless.
After all, they are the ones in a weak position. If they keep dragging it out like this, when this civilization from the extragalactic galaxy becomes impatient, the rebel alliance will definitely be the ones to suffer.
Lin Xu didn't mind playing for a few more days. After all, it was a good experience to have someone accompany you, explain things to you, and act as a tour guide the whole time. Nanzhu was especially happy. He was having so much fun that the things he bought every day were all over his body.
Although every next day, the things bought the day before would be stuffed into Nanzhu's personal space and disappear, which made the accompanying personnel very confused about where the things went. In the end, they could only attribute it to some kind of technology.
So one day, when Lin Xu and his companions were about to continue their day's sightseeing, several reception staff took them to an extremely secret place inside the War Star.
The car windows were not opened along the way. Although Lin Xu and his companions had clearly memorized the driving route through the nanorobots, they pretended not to know and only asked curiously where they were going.
"Mr. Lin Xu, the representatives of various civilizations at the Alliance Joint Conference are ready to discuss cooperation with you today."
"Cooperation? Okay, it's time to talk about it." Lin Xu did not comment.
Just like that, the car window soon allowed us to see the scenery outside again, and we had arrived in front of an extremely large building.
There was sunlight in the sky, but it was obviously simulated sunlight.
After getting off the car, looking around, there was a bustling city, but the nanorobot told Lin Xu that those were just images projected by several huge display screens. The city scenes were projected all around just to create a relaxing environment for the many representatives of the joint meeting.
I believe that if necessary, these projected scenes will be changed to mountains, snowfields, seas, etc.
Lin Xu, greeted by the reception staff, walked into the joint meeting building with Miss Qiu, Mu Xiyue, Nanzhu and Lu Yao.
Soon in the conference room, they saw more than a dozen representatives representing various civilized races on the war planet standing there to greet them.
These representatives welcomed Lin Xu and his companions with their own etiquette in turn.
They all knew these days that Lin Xu and his group were led by Lin Xu.
Although it was a bit regrettable that they waited for several days but the bigger figure they imagined did not arrive.
But there was nothing they could do. The situation was stronger than them, and they were the weaker party, so they could only talk to Lin Xu.
"Mr. Lin Xu, if we reach some agreements after our conversation today, can you represent your civilization to ensure that the agreements are implemented?" After inviting Lin Xu to take a seat, an intelligent life covered in red with four or five layers similar to humans asked first.
"Of course." Lin Xu nodded.
"That's good. Please forgive me for my intrusion." The man nodded with satisfaction.
So the talks officially began.
"Mr. Lin Xu, we hope to reach a cooperation with your civilization and jointly fight against the Cleaners." Another intelligent life with an abnormally swollen head and no hair spoke up.
It is not known whether his lack of hair is a racial characteristic or a personal feature.
Just like the Mediterranean Sea among humans, if aliens have only seen humans in the Mediterranean, would they think that all humans are Mediterranean?
"Fight against the Cleansers together? Do you have the ability to fight against the Cleansers? It won't be that we are responsible for the fight and you are responsible for cheering! Besides, we are just outsiders, and we are just passing through this river system. Since this river system is not suitable for survival, we can just move to the next one. There is no need to fight to the death with the Cleansers here." Lin Xu smiled and said bluntly.
"Mr. Lin Xu, you are right. Your civilization has the ability to sail across the river system. For you, it is naturally a very simple thing to leave this river system directly. But don't you want the technology of the Cleansers? Those technologies inherited from humans?" someone tempted.
"We also have those technologies." Lin Xu remained unmoved.
"Really? Then I'm afraid you don't understand humans yet. Humans have high-dimensional technology. Aren't you interested?" The other party said confidently.
In this universe, no civilization can resist the temptation of high-dimensional technology, and they believe that the civilization in front of them is no match for it.
Lin Xu's expression changed, and the opponent obviously noticed this. He immediately became energized and continued to pursue the victory .
"You should have heard from our receptionist that humans have high-dimensional technology. I can tell you clearly that the Cleansers were not given high-dimensional technology by the humans who created them. This is what we are most thankful for, otherwise we would not have survived until today. But the Cleansers' bases have bases left behind by humans. We can tell you clearly that there is human high-dimensional technology there, if your civilization can get it."
Lin Xu hesitated for a moment, as if he was persuaded.
"Are you sure that the Cleansers' base camp has high-dimensional technology? If not."
"Of course we dare not lie to you about this. Otherwise, even if we break through the Cleansers' base camp, we will still have to face the wrath of your civilization. For us, it is probably better to continue to face the Cleansers. After all, the Cleansers are just rigidly executing procedures. We still have a chance to survive in the cracks."
"Moreover, we are not just waving flags and shouting like you said. We also have enough intelligence. This is the result of our hard work in collecting for countless years, including the action patterns of the Cleansers and the possible location of the Cleansers' base camp."
"Do you know the location of the Cleansers' base camp?" Lin Xu was really surprised this time.
I didn't expect that these guys would actually do something wrong.
The representatives of each race looked at each other, nodded, and then stood up collectively.
"Mr. Lin Xu, next we would like to invite you to a special place. That is where we discovered your civilization. I would like you to see it with your own eyes. This is also our sincerity."
In this way, Lin Xu and his companions, led by representatives of various civilizations, boarded a special internal vehicle. About ten minutes later, the car traveled hundreds of kilometers and arrived at another building inside the war planet.
This is one of the core departments on the War Star, the Cleansing Countermeasures Research Laboratory.
Today, the countermeasures research room was decorated in advance, as if they had known that an important person would come to visit.
There were even a group of staff standing on both sides, welcoming Lin Xu and his group.
While Lin Xu was looking at the countermeasures research room, which was monitoring the scenes of the cleansers cleansing various civilizations in various galaxies, the first thing that came to his mind was.
Among these civilizations that are being purged, how many are like the previous civilization, which clearly abided by the agreement and did not develop curvature navigation technology, but were lured by the Rebel Alliance to trade curvature engines, leading to the purgation?
Here, Lin Xu was visiting the various equipment in the countermeasures research room.
At the same time, representatives of each civilization introduced to Lin Xu the functions of various instruments in the countermeasures research room.
It feels a bit like showing off.
After all, the civilization represented by Lin Xu possesses strength and technology that is no less than that of the Cleansers, and the race that is now curious about the technology of their own civilization, which naturally gives the representatives a sense of satisfaction.
As Lin Xu's visit progressed, the representatives kept advocating that the intelligence they possessed would definitely be of great help to Lin Xu's civilization in its fight against the Cleansers, so they hoped that after Lin Xu's civilization obtained human technology in the future, they would be able to give some benefits to the resistance alliance.
Lin Xu just nodded without comment.
Not far away, a figure who looked like an adjutant hurried over and brought a very important news.
It was said that there was an urgent communication from another war planet, which required the collective presence of all civilization representatives in order to be connected.
"Mr. Lin Xu, I'm very sorry, we have an urgent matter here. How about you take a tour here by yourself first and let the supervisor introduce you?" Although the representatives were a little reluctant, since it was an urgent message, all civilization representatives must be present, so everyone could only go and answer the communication across thousands of light years.
"Another war star? Do you have other war stars?" Lin Xu asked curiously.
"Yes, our Rebel Alliance is not just a war star, but a rebel alliance composed of countless civilizations on several war stars." A representative said proudly.
"Then you guys go, I'll tour it by myself." Lin Xu nodded.
So everyone left, and only Lin Xu and a few others were left here to continue listening to the staff's introduction.
On the other side, a dozen or so representatives of civilizations went all the way back to the joint meeting.
I answered the call I had been waiting for for a long time, feeling confused.
Soon, more than a dozen figures appeared on the holographic projection on the opposite side. They were the representatives of the civilization on another war planet.
"We have already watched the video footage you sent over earlier that showed what appeared to be an extragalactic civilization annihilating the Cleansing Fleet." The person on the other end said with a serious expression.
Because the communication spans thousands of light years, even with relay stations relaying the signal, there is still a serious delay.
This delay was as high as ten minutes.
So the other party didn't wait for the answer and continued speaking.
Because if I wait for a reply from this side, it might take half an hour to say one sentence back and forth.
"What happened?" the representatives here asked puzzledly.
Of course, they have to wait more than ten minutes before the other party can answer their questions.
But the other party continued talking on his own.
"You have already invited them to the battle planet, right? Don't invite them, don't reveal the coordinates, don't do that."
"But they're already here!" The representatives here were astonished, but unfortunately the other side had to wait more than ten minutes before they could see their astonishment.
Of course, from the solemn posture of the other side, the representatives here had already noticed that something was wrong.
"It's humans, they are humans. Those small objects that can freely assemble into warships are the legendary autonomous mechanical aggregates. We didn't recognize them at first. We are still a small tribe on the war planet. Their ancestors were once members of the maintainers. There are also some paper books about humans circulating among them. Only then did they recognize the autonomous mechanical aggregates, so humans have returned. You should run away quickly, and don't let humans catch you." The tone of the other side became more and more urgent.
The representatives here were stunned.
Human? That guy named Lin Xu is actually a human?
Let us flee? But we have already welcomed him to the war planet and even entertained him for several days.
It’s a pity that due to the delay of more than ten minutes, the other side still doesn’t know that the representatives here already have a deathly look on their faces.
"What, what should we do?" More than a dozen representatives looked at each other.
No one was able to speak for a moment.
"Let's run away! Let's run away quickly! There's still time to escape now."
"You coward, are you going to abandon the Battle Star and escape alone?"
"What else can we do? Do you think humans will let us go after what we did back then?"
"That's what our ancestors did, what does it have to do with us?" Well, this represents the essence of Deep's simple life.
"Haha, go tell this to humans and see if they believe you or not."
Suddenly, the representative stopped talking.
"No, calm down, something is wrong." A representative suddenly thought of something and interrupted the chaotic crowd.
"No? We have already confirmed that it is a human, what else is wrong?"
"What I'm saying is wrong, humans, or these returning humans, don't they know what happened ten thousand years ago?"
Suddenly, all the representatives were awakened.
"Yes, they definitely don't know, so they pretend to be an unknown civilization and try to gather intelligence from us." One representative's eyes lit up.
"It's useless. Even if they don't know now, they will know it sooner or later. You don't really think you can hide it from humans forever, do you? The Cleansers must have records of what happened ten thousand years ago. Once they connect with the Cleansers, they will know it immediately. We can't escape."
"What should I do? I don't want to just wait to die."
"Otherwise, let's just go all out and kill him." Someone said with a cold look in his eyes.
"Get rid of him? You're crazy, he's a human being."
"So what if they are humans? There are only a few of them. We just need to kill them and then flee to the outer galaxy. When the large force behind them gets the news, they can only track us to the War Planet at most. They definitely don't know that we have already fled secretly."
"Escape in secret? You, you actually want to betray your own race and civilization."
"I don't want to die, do you want to die?"
"Humans are back. They are not like the Cleansers who can only follow orders mechanically. In this case, the war planet will definitely be lost. So is it wrong to preserve the bloodline of the tribe as much as possible?"
"For so many years, we have been unwilling to go into exile in the outer galaxy, simply because we could not safely take the entire war planet with us! But now, the time has come when we have to give up the war planet. Perhaps this is also an opportunity to completely leave this galaxy and start a new life in the outer galaxy. From now on, we no longer have to live under the shadow of the Cleansers. Isn't that good?"
Representatives from more than a dozen civilizations looked at each other in surprise.
Finally someone made up his mind and made a decision.
"Okay, then kill that human, and then organize as many people as possible, abandon the war planet, and go into exile in the outer galaxy."
The dozen or so representatives are the helmsmen of various civilizations.
They made the decision, and thus determined the fate of the war star.
Although I am reluctant, this is the only one left and it is not a solution.
By the time they made a decision, more than ten minutes had already passed.
The war planet on the opposite side has also received the signal from this side and knows that they have already brought humans to the war planet.
"You idiots, you are really going to get me killed."
"What should we do? What should we do? Will humans find our battle planet by following the coordinates recorded on your battle planet?"
"Quick, cut off the communication. We can't let humans find us."
"Yes, update the destination of the battle star. Hide quickly and don't let humans find you."
The war star on the opposite side had already shut down the communication in the panic.
The dozen or so representatives of civilizations here no longer had the heart to pay attention to them.
Next, when disaster strikes, it's time for everyone to fly away. Who will care about your war planet that is thousands of light years away?
Maybe I can sell your coordinates later to attract humans to hunt you down first, and it can also buy us some time to exile to the outer galaxy.
However, before that, the human who is currently in the Countermeasures Research Room must be killed first.
Only by killing him can we delay as much as possible the time for humans to know that they have been exposed.
They would have time to escape.
"What should we do? Who will do it?"
"Of course we're going to do it together. Do you think you can hide at this moment?"
"Okay, let's do it together."
Many representatives of civilizations still feel psychologically burdened when it comes to taking action against humans.
But since this is the only remaining method, that's all we can do.
Who would have thought that just half an hour ago, they were still fantasizing that they could use the power of extragalactic civilization to eliminate the Cleansers and even obtain the technology left behind by humans.
Who knew that just half an hour later, things would take a turn for the worse.
There is no advanced extragalactic civilization, but humans have returned and are about to settle everything.
At this time, Lin Xu, who was in the countermeasures research room, was still unaware of this.
Although the nanorobots were scattered all over the war planet, he had no plans to monitor every tree and blade of grass on the entire war planet.
More is being done to gather intelligence about the Cleaners.
For example, copying information in a database or something.
Unfortunately, there is not much information in the database related to the Cleaners, only known intelligence.
No one knows where these civilizations on the war planet have hidden the information related to the Cleansers.
Just as Lin Xu was visiting the Countermeasures Research Room, the supervisor who was responsible for receiving Lin Xu received the latest news.
The representatives of civilization have finished the important communication and invited Lin Xu to visit the next place.
Lin Xu didn't think much about it, and took the jumping Nanzhu, the steady Miss Qiu and Mu Xiyue, and Lu Yao who was curious about everything.
A few people boarded a car that was waiting for them, and accompanied by the reception staff, they headed to the next destination, just like the previous days.
But just when the car was halfway there, it suddenly exploded with a loud bang.
A huge fireball rose up and spread in all directions through a pipe.
Even the main road connecting to the interior of the war planet was blown into ruins.
You must know that the main road inside this war planet connects all parts of the war planet, and the walls on all four sides are bearing the huge pressure of the war planet at the same time.
It is naturally extremely solid and can even withstand close-range bombing from a nuclear explosion.
But now it has been completely destroyed by this explosion.
It can be seen that in this assassination, the dozen or so representatives of civilization used all their strength from the very beginning.
At this time, through the surveillance, the car that Lin Xu was riding in was seen to be rising into gas in an instant, accompanied by a loud explosion.
Representatives from more than a dozen civilizations all showed informative smiles.
Unfortunately, their expressions froze the next moment.
Because after the smoke cleared, Lin Xu and his companions were found intact in the ruined main road of the war planet.
