Volume 3 Chapter 173: Humans, you are in big trouble
The Skylark slowly approached the system where the Asando people were located.
I have to say that the Asando people have developed quite well in the past ten thousand years.
The entire galaxy looks extremely prosperous from afar.
Even on the most remote planets in the galaxy, a large number of settlements have been built.
At the same time, looking at the passengers on the curvature-traveling spacecraft traveling in and out of the galaxy, it is obvious that the Asando people also have exchanges and even trade with other civilizations.
"Lord Lin Xu, do you think those Asand people are stupid? Do they really think that they can gain the trust of the new master by stabbing the old master in the back?" Nanzhu looked at the prosperous scene of the galaxy outside the window and expressed his incomprehension.
"Who knows? It's just that intelligent creatures are always confused by the situation." Lin Xu also expressed his incomprehension.
"I think that the Asand people were just desperate at first, but after they stabbed the humans in the back, the Apocalypse tribe didn't react to their behavior at all, so they had some kind of illusion that the Apocalypse tribe supported them in doing this, so they insisted on going all the way." Unexpectedly, Lu Yao expressed a different opinion.
Even Lin Xu was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, it seemed that this was really possible.
“To put it bluntly, they just take themselves too seriously! They really think the Apocalypse Clan cares about them.” Nanzhu complained.
"Isn't it always like this for intelligent creatures? They always unconsciously look at everything from a self-centered perspective." Lu Yao shrugged.
"By the way, Lord Lin Xu, I heard from Daisy that humans left a memory device for the Asando people, which recorded the next direction of humanity. Later, the Asando people wanted to hand over the memory device to the Apocalypse people, but the Apocalypse people ignored them. The Asando people should still have that memory device, right? I hope it has been destroyed." Nanzhu said worriedly.
"They shouldn't be so stupid, right?" Lin Xu also became a little worried.
"They do seem to be quite stupid." Lu Yao nodded.
It seems that in the minds of everyone, it has become a consensus that the Asandos are stupid.
"I hope they are not that stupid." Lin Xu sighed.
"What if the storage device is really gone?" Nanzhu asked worriedly.
"It shouldn't be. When humans left things behind, they must have considered various possibilities. I think it shouldn't be something that is easy to destroy." Lin Xu said after thinking for a while.
"Could it be a high-dimensional object? Of course it is." Nanzhu suddenly thought of it and nodded slowly.
Humans will definitely take some precautions to keep Lin Xu away from these things.
For humans at that time, high-dimensional items were not considered precious, so leaving behind a high-dimensional item was naturally nothing.
And humans don’t have to worry about the Apocalypse people coveting this high-dimensional item.
Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary civilization, high-dimensional objects are magical.
But in the eyes of the Apocalypse Clan, who were once a high-dimensional civilization, that's just the way it is.
Even though they have reduced their dimensions now, it is still easy for them to use high-dimensional organs to make some high-dimensional items.
Just like that, Skylark entered the interior of the galaxy in the blink of an eye at a speed a thousand times the speed of light.
Lin Xu deliberately did not activate the various stealth facilities on the Skylark, which was considered as a fair announcement of his arrival.
However, even so, because the Skylark was moving too fast, the radars of various spacecraft along the way only had time to detect a high-speed aircraft passing by.
But he didn't even catch a glimpse of the Skylark.
"Captain, a super-fast aircraft has been spotted passing through."
"Such a fast speed, it must be a thousand times the speed of light. Could it be that the one who has this kind of technology is the God's family?"
"A clan leader has come to the Asando territory? Never mind. It's none of our business. We are just transporting goods. Continue on the original route, but be careful not to run into the clan leader."
Similar conversations were basically heard from various spacecraft entering the galaxy from outside the galaxy.
Of course, the Lord God they are talking about is naturally the Apocalypse Clan.
Lin Xu didn't know that he was actually recognized as a member of the Apocalypse clan.
At the same time as the passing spacecraft captured the shadow of the Skylark, the Asando people's early warning system spread throughout the outer periphery of the galaxy also discovered the existence of the Skylark, which had not hidden itself.
Although the entire river system is the pasture of the Apocalypse Clan, all civilizations are under the supervision of the Apocalypse Clan.
But wars between civilizations still exist.
Especially wars between vassal civilizations.
As long as the clan is not exterminated, the Apocalypse Clan will not care if there is limited conflict between them for the sake of competing for interests.
Therefore, the Asando people naturally developed a strong military force.
It can even be said that the Asand people were eager to spread rumors about humans and join the Apocalypse Clan.
In addition to the fear of being liquidated by the Apocalypse, a big reason is that since humans left, many servant races belonging to the Apocalypse have begun to covet humans' former servant races.
However, before the Apocalypse Clan made a statement, these servant races did not dare to do anything.
But it still put a lot of pressure on the Asandos.
This is probably one of the reasons that prompted the Asando people to completely betray humanity.
"Hyper-speed aircraft? Thousand times the speed of light? Is it an adult from the family?" The Prime Minister, who had just finished a meeting and returned home to rest, received a report from the galaxy's outer warning system as soon as he sat down.
"We have sent an inquiry signal, but the other party has not responded. The people below don't know whether to intercept it or not. What do you think?" The attendant stood beside the prime minister and asked the commander's opinion.
"Tell your subordinates not to intercept. With a speed a thousand times the speed of light, it cannot be a spaceship sent by another servant race to launch a sneak attack. It can only be a master from the family. Although I don't know why the other party did not reply to the message, maybe he is here with some secret mission this time?" The Prime Minister wondered.
Until the servant reminded him.
"Some people below are speculating, could it be a human spaceship?"
"Humans? The information from the Grand Chancellor? Have humans really returned? Even if humans have returned, they will go looking for their former subordinates as soon as they come back. Aren't they really afraid that the Apocalypse will be dissatisfied with them?" The Prime Minister frowned and thought.
He didn't understand. Logically speaking, humans had just returned, and even if they had obtained the forgiveness of the Apocalypse Clan, shouldn't they be behaving themselves down now? Why did they dare to show off their power in such a high-profile manner to their former subordinates who had already defected to the Apocalypse Clan?
This shows a complete disregard for the Apocalypse Clan. The Prime Minister does not think that humans would be so unwise.
"Do we still need to send that spaceship over directly?" the servant asked again.
"Let it come over. It's just a spaceship. Even if it's really human, so what can it do?" The Prime Minister thought about it and finally decided to let the spaceship come directly instead of intercepting it.
At the same time, Lin Xu on the Skylark was also a little puzzled. He had come in so brazenly, without even hiding his signal, and was almost over the Asando people's home planet, but the Asando people didn't react at all.
Even if they really sent a warship to intercept, with the Skylark's speed a thousand times the speed of light, they probably wouldn't be able to stop it, but it is still an attitude after all.
"Lord Lin Xu, the other side sent another message, asking about our identities and whether we are members of the Apocalypse clan." Miss Qiu's tone was a little stiff, and it was obvious that she was dissatisfied with the message she received.
"Are you still asking us if we are members of the Apocalypse tribe? They have completely forgotten the identification signals of humans." Nanzhu said unhappily.
After removing all camouflage, the Skylark displayed various data during the flight process. Anyone who has ever known human civilization can basically recognize that these are data parameters belonging to humans.
It's like when a submarine is on the seabed, you can tell the model of the submarine just by the sonar frequency.
The spacecraft manufactured by various civilizations also have similar unique identification codes, but now it is obvious that the Asando people have completely forgotten the flight parameters that belong to humans.
It is also possible that they took the initiative to delete a large amount of information related to humans in order to show their loyalty to the Apocalypse Clan?
It’s a pity that their loyalty is destined to be performed to the blind.
It was not until the Skylark arrived above the Apocalypse's home planet that a hesitant inquiring signal came from below.
"Master Lin Xu, the other party asked us whether we are human?" Miss Qiu relayed the content of the signal.
"Answer them, humans are back." Lin Xu was also dissatisfied and replied.
Then, in an instant, the home planet of the Asando people below seemed to have become mute, and no signals came for a while.
"What's going on?" Nanzhu asked puzzled.
"Could it be that he was scared?" Lu Yao said after thinking for a while .
At this moment, on the Asando home planet, a group of congressmen had just finished a meeting and left the venue.
Before I had walked far, I was urgently called back.
This time we are not discussing the intelligence regarding the return of humans.
Instead, the discussion is about what to do now that humans have arrived.
Members of Parliament quarreled fiercely in Parliament.
As Prime Minister, you cannot just quarrel like the MPs.
The Prime Minister, who had just sat at home for a few minutes, quickly summoned his staff and began to discuss how to deal with human problems.
And first of all, there is the issue of name.
"Prime Minister, I think we should first stay calm. Even if humans come back, so what? Times have changed. We are now their servants. There is no need for us to be afraid of them."
"That's right. We can no longer call humans masters, nor can we call ourselves servants as we did before. We must tell humans openly that we are Asando and are equal to humans. We are now servants of the Apocalypse Clan, and humans can no longer interfere with us."
"Very good. Then you will be the one to conduct the preliminary negotiations with humans." The Prime Minister looked at the young man who had just made an impassioned speech with satisfaction, and suddenly felt relieved.
“I will definitely not let you down, Prime Minister.” The young man’s face flushed instantly, and he was extremely excited.
Being favored by the Prime Minister might be the beginning of his meteoric rise to fame, so he must not let the Prime Minister down.
The young man decided secretly.
While the high-level departments on the entire planet had not yet reached a conclusion, Lin Xu and others on the Skylark above the planet no longer had the patience to wait any longer.
"Lord Lin Xu, we can't just keep waiting like this, right? Are they deliberately ignoring us?" Nanzhu raised his hand and said obediently.
"Let's go." Lin Xu stood up and walked out of the Skylark.
"Where are you going?" Nanzhu hurriedly followed and asked.
Miss Qiu, Mu Xiyue, and Lu Yao also followed.
"Of course I'm going to get the storage device. I've already seen where the storage device is. I can just go and get it back." Lin Xu said with a faint smile on his face.
"See? This means that the storage device is really a high-dimensional item." Nanzhu was stunned for a moment, then reacted.
Lin Xu saw high-dimensional objects through a high-dimensional perspective.
"There is currently only one high-dimensional object on this planet, that's right." Lin Xu said happily.
Although the thing is not in his hands yet, since Lin Xu has already "seen" it, he can't run away.
Of course it's worth being happy about.
"Fortunately, they didn't hide the stuff somewhere else." Nanzhu also felt relieved.
The expressions of the other people also became much more relaxed.
As long as we can find the route map left by humans and continue the next voyage, nothing else matters.
"They probably don't know that humans have returned, or they just found out not long ago. How can they have time to hide?" Lu Yao guessed.
"I think even if they knew that humans had returned, they would only hide the storage device more securely on the mother planet, and would not hide it somewhere other than the mother planet." Mu Xiyue suddenly said.
When everyone thought about it, it seemed to be true. The Asand people did not know how terrible humans were today.
Whether there are high-dimensional objects on a planet can be known by just taking a look.
Just like that, several people left the Skylark, and Lin Xu raised his hand and put the Skylark into his personal space.
Then, they flew rapidly downwards and in the blink of an eye they arrived above the capital of the Asando people.
Of course, Lin Xu and others didn’t know that this was the capital of the Asando people, and they didn’t care. Lin Xu just "saw" the storage device, which was placed deep underground in the city.
As soon as the Skylark disappeared, the radar that had been monitoring the Skylark outside the planet immediately sounded the alarm.
The person in charge of monitoring will report the information to the higher authorities as soon as possible.
"What do you mean? Disappeared? That was a spaceship, how could it disappear for no reason?" The Prime Minister felt terrible when faced with the latest news.
"But the satellite radar can no longer detect any trace of the enemy." The attendant reported with his head down.
"Human technology is still superior to ours. Could it be that they saw that we didn't respond for a long time, so they directly interfered with our detection signals?" someone speculated.
"Reply immediately and say that we invite humans to meet here in the capital." The Prime Minister immediately gave the order.
Things can no longer be delayed. If we delay any further and humans do something they did not expect, perhaps even the Prime Minister will have to take the blame.
However, after the reply was sent, no reply was received.
It was not until a moment later that the somewhat anxious Prime Minister saw a staff member running towards him in a hurry.
"Mr. Prime Minister, the Doomsday Bunker has sent an urgent message. The Doomsday Bunker has been invaded. The invaders are about to reach the location of the supercomputer. Our defense facilities are simply unable to stop the invaders."
Suddenly, the Prime Minister felt a black screen in front of his eyes and almost fainted.
"Doomsday bunker?" Several staff members who didn't know the situation looked at each other, but they didn't know what a doomsday bunker was.
"Humans are actually here to retrieve that thing? That thing was clearly handed over to us by them ten thousand years ago. How dare they take it back? Aren't they afraid of causing conflict and upsetting the Apocalypse Clan?" the Prime Minister roared manically.
"Mr. Prime Minister, the Grand Speaker has called to inquire. What should we do now?" another staff member ran in and asked.
"Prepare the holographic projection equipment and project my image into the doomsday bunker. I will talk to the invading humans in person." The Prime Minister said gritting his teeth.
So a moment later, in an underground palace hundreds of meters deep under the capital.
Lin Xu had just removed an alloy door and saw a huge machine placed on a high platform inside the door.
The instrument looked as big as a house, with all kinds of wires connected to it, spreading out in all directions.
Some of those lines extend into the walls, some extend into the ceiling, and some extend into the underground.
But it can be seen that the instrument is the core of everything.
But when Lin Xu looked at the instrument, he frowned slightly.
"Isn't it just a storage device? Why is it so big?" Nanzhu was stunned when he saw the facility that was as big as a room.
"No, this is not it." Lin Xu shook his head.
"No?" Nanzhu was surprised, because Lin Xu couldn't have made a mistake.
"Inside this thing, the most core part is the memory. They have expanded too many things outside the memory." Lin Xu said a little helplessly.
"Is this using the memory as something similar to a chip?" Nanzhu thought about it before reacting.
"That's about it." Lin Xu nodded.
At this moment, a holographic projection light was projected down from the wall, and not far from Lin Xu and his companions, several holographic projection figures appeared.
It was the Prime Minister and several of his staff.
"Humans, do you realize that you have caused a big disaster?" The Prime Minister said to Lin Xu in the first place.
His voice was so powerful and his brows were furrowed in a serious manner, giving people a feeling of great majesty.
"Have you gotten into a big trouble? Could you please explain it in detail?" Lin Xu, who originally didn't want to pay attention to the other party, was aroused by the words of this serious-faced gentleman.
He was very curious about what kind of trouble humans had gotten themselves into.
"Human, I know that our Asando tribe was once a servant race of humans, but we have now been accepted by the great true god, the Apocalypse tribe, and have become a servant race of the Apocalypse tribe. The previous contract between us has long been invalidated. But now you are stealing the items of the great servant race of the Apocalypse tribe. This is a serious provocation and blasphemy to the Apocalypse tribe. I hope you can stop and not try to challenge the dignity of the Apocalypse tribe." The Prime Minister tried to persuade earnestly, as if he was doing this for the good of you humans.
Lin Xu's only reaction was a strange change in his expression as he looked the Prime Minister up and down.
Including Miss Qiu, Nanzhu, Mu Xiyue and Lu Yao, they all looked strange when they heard what the other party said.
But in the eyes of the Prime Minister, the expressions of the crowd were encouraging.
Looking at the struggling and anxious expressions of these humans, it is obvious that they do not want to offend the Apocalypse Clan.
The plan is passed.
"Well, after all, we were once humans' servants. Considering how humans took care of us in the past, if you leave now, I can pretend that nothing happened. How about that?" The Prime Minister continued earnestly.
But Lin Xu just shook his head, as if he was too lazy to continue talking to the fool, and turned to walk towards the huge machine the size of a room on the platform.
"Human , what are you going to do? If you don't stop, you will be in big trouble, do you know that?" The Prime Minister's face changed and he immediately shouted sternly.
"I'm curious about something." Lin Xu suddenly paused and asked curiously.
"What are you curious about?" The Prime Minister's forehead was covered with sweat.
No matter what, he couldn't let Lin Xu destroy the supercomputer. It was the most important treasure for the Asando people to develop so far.
If it were destroyed, he, the prime minister, would have to step down immediately.
"I know that in order to distance yourself from humans, you may have deleted a lot of records about humans, but you wouldn't have forgotten that this thing was temporarily placed here by humans, right?" Lin Xu asked doubtfully.
Lin Xu's words made the Prime Minister feel slightly embarrassed.
But as a prime minister, to climb to this position, one must first learn to be shameless, so he quickly adjusted his expression and continued.
"Of course we know that this was given to our tribe by humans, but since humans gave it to us, it is ours now, and even humans cannot take it back." The Prime Minister said in a resounding manner, changing the concept.
Even the staff standing beside him looked at him with admiration and applauded him.
"Give? Who said that? I just asked you to keep it, not give it to you." Nanzhu said dissatisfiedly.
"I don't know where you got the news from, but my tribe has a clear record of this. This is what humans gave to our tribe. The Apocalypse Tribe also knows about this. I advise humans not to make mistakes." The Prime Minister once again threatened the Apocalypse Tribe.
"Is there any point in playing word games like this?" Lin Xu sighed.
"Word game? I don't understand what you are saying." The Prime Minister said, knowing the essence of playing dumb.
It’s a pity that in the face of absolute power, any sophistry is meaningless.
Lin Xu was too lazy to pay attention to him. He slowly rose up and landed on the platform.
"Stop, human, stop." The Prime Minister shouted at the top of his lungs.
Lin Xu pointed his finger forward.
The next moment, there was a loud bang.
The huge machine on the platform was broken.
