Volume 3 Chapter 196: Is he really a human? I am not dreaming!
"Those who have exhausted their energy should rest as soon as possible to replenish their energy loss."
"Team T313, block the gap on the left."
"Nuclear bomb, who has a nuclear bomb? Use one on these evil bastards."
With a loud bang, a small mushroom cloud rose above the battlefield, and a large number of zombies of various kinds were blown away by the shock wave.
Various zombie parts fell onto the armor of the power armored soldiers with a crackling sound.
The surface of the power armor was stained with a layer of blood.
At this moment, from the dense pile of zombies nearby, a thick tentacle suddenly stabbed towards the nearest power armored soldier.
But at the moment the tentacle pierced the soldier, runes on the surface of the power armor flashed, and a protective shield formed by a repulsive field defense instantly blocked the tentacle.
That was because the impact force of the tentacles had reached a certain critical value, triggering the protective shield.
With a bang, the power armored soldier was knocked away by the impact of the tentacles and crashed into the pile of corpses next to him with a bang.
"There's a bastard here, kill him."
Several soldiers nearby jumped up together, waving their chainsaw swords. Amid the buzzing sound, one man and one sword cut the tentacles into pieces that were still shaking all over the ground.
At this time, the soldier who had just been knocked away by the tentacles also crawled out from the pile of corpses.
"Damn it, I got tricked."
"Keep an eye on the fel energy detector and be careful." A man who looked like the captain reminded.
"Yes, boss!"
The soldiers responded one after another.
His eyes were fixed on the various values on the panel on the helmet, which contained data fed back by the fel energy detector.
The so-called evil power, as the name suggests, is the power bestowed by the evil god on those bastards.
It is inherently opposed to the energy given by humans and used by the elves.
And hunting down the evil god's cubs in the universe is the natural mission of the elves.
"Boys, break is over, attack!"
The bearded captain looked at the latest data from his helmet, stood up and shouted while holding up his chainsaw sword.
"Attack."
So, team after team rushed towards the dense swarm of zombies ahead again.
"Lord Lin Xu, it looks like they are about to wipe out all the zombies on this planet. Should we still step in?" Nanzhu asked as he kept zooming in and out the holographic projection and observing the battlefield.
"We still have to show up, but we shouldn't go to this planet. Since this race that calls itself the Eldar is hunting down the so-called lackeys of the evil god, they should know something about what's going on." Lin Xu said after zooming in on the dozen or so ten-thousand-meter-long space battleships parked above the planet.
"But these space battleships look a bit shabby." Lu Yao asked puzzledly.
"It's not just a little shabby, it's extremely shabby. It looks patched together, and different parts of the hull have different colors. It's just like their power armor. It doesn't look like high-tech at all. Instead, it looks like it was picked up from somewhere and randomly pieced together." Nanzhu complained.
"Okay, after all, they are also a race that shouts "Long live humanity", so give them some face," Lu Yao reminded.
"Don't worry, I won't say that in front of you later. I do have some emotional intelligence." Nanzhu raised his head and said proudly.
In this way, the Skylark flew towards the fleet that was stationed above the planet, occasionally sending out some bombing spaceships.
As they got closer to the fleet, various small alert spaceships appeared.
If the Skylark had intended, it could have easily hidden itself from these small spaceships and approached the enemy fleet silently. However, the Skylark did not do so. Instead, it openly revealed its whereabouts and even sent clear signals to the enemy.
Then, a communication request soon came in from the other side, asking to talk to the members on the Skylark.
Lin Xu nodded, and Miss Qiu answered the call.
"Hello, travelers from afar , welcome to the Eldar fleet. I never thought that in this universe ravaged by evil gods, there would be travelers like you who can travel freely in the sea of stars."
"But as you know, this universe is ravaged by evil gods, so I'm sorry, we have to conduct some tests on you to make sure you are not the evil god's lackeys before we allow you to approach the fleet."
The holographic communication screen showed a rough man with no hair on his face and even a bald head.
Lin Xu didn’t know why, why did this elf either have a beard or a bald head?
"No problem. How do we conduct the test?" Lin Xu asked.
"It's very simple. There will be a detection spaceship approaching you in a while. Please board the spaceship for testing. I swear in the name of mankind that the Eldar are a peace-loving race and will never do anything bad to you." The big bald man in the picture said proudly.
Lin Xu looked at the screen on the other side, where bearded or bald men wearing power armor were shouting "For the glory of mankind" and wielding chainsaw swords, their bodies covered in blood.
It really doesn't look like a peace-loving person.
But Lin Xu still nodded and said, "Okay, we will accept the inspection."
So, the bald guy on the other side thanked him with satisfaction, and then both parties closed the communication.
Just like that, a moment later the Skylark met a small spaceship sent from the fleet.
After both parties stopped, a connecting bridge extended from the small spaceship and connected with the Skylark. Although the models of the two spaceships were completely different, the specially designed connecting bridge was successfully connected with the entrance and exit of the Skylark.
Everything was ready. Lin Xu, along with Miss Qiu, Nanzhu, Mu Xiyue and Lu Yao, opened the hatch. Two sturdy soldiers in power armor entered the small spaceship opposite under vigilant eyes.
Then, Lin Xu saw that the soldier in the power armor, who had just been looking at him and others with vigilance, was looking at him as if he had seen a ghost.
No, it's like seeing something incredible.
"Hey, hey, am I seeing things?" A soldier reached out and patted his companion.
"I, I seem to have read it wrongly. Is the data on this energy detector broken? It's reminding me to welcome humans?"
“This value is indeed human.”
The two soldiers in power armor looked at each other and were stunned for a moment.
"What are you two doing? Is that how you greet guests? Did you see that? Are there any fel readings?"
At this time, another bald man also wearing power armor walked out of the spaceship and asked as he walked.
Then he also saw Lin Xu and others. In an instant, as a series of numbers appeared on the helmet, he was stunned.
"There are no fel energy readings, but there are elemental energy readings, and this value, could it be that humans have really returned?" One of the two soldiers at the start had begun to tremble a little.
"Human, really human? I'm not dreaming!" The bald man who came out later stared at Lin Xu and spoke with a trembling voice, as if he wanted to confirm.
"Lord Lin Xu, it seems we have been recognized?" Nanzhu asked in surprise.
"If they recognize us, then so be it. We've never tried to hide ourselves on purpose. It's just that few people can recognize us." Lu Yao on the side was very calm.
Indeed, no matter where he is, Lin Xu rarely deliberately hides his human identity. It’s just that few people can recognize his human identity.
Now that I have been recognized, just let it be. It’s not a big deal.
"Yes, I am a human being, hello." So Lin Xu nodded in acknowledgement generously.
Then, the bald strong man rolled his eyes and fainted.
"Uh, am I that scary?" Lin Xu touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Well, I think he might be excited." The power mecha soldier next to him was much calmer now, but his eyes were still on Lin Xu, as if he was curious about what the legendary humans, the humans that his own tribe believed in, were like.
On the largest spaceship in the fleet.
In a conference room, a meeting of the high-level elves was being held.
"The nuclear bomb stockpile has run out, a large number of damaged power armors have not yet been repaired, and the number of patrol ships has dropped below the safety threshold. The most critical thing is that the number of artificial wombs has dropped sharply, and the number of newborns of the Eldar is decreasing. We must rest and recuperate."
"Where can we rest? In our current state, if the battleship stops somewhere, I'm afraid we won't be able to fly again. There are still countless evil forces in the universe waiting for us to wipe out. How can we rest now?"
"That's enough. You should admit it now. We can't wipe out the evil god's forces. Even if we wipe them out, they will soon revive. As for us, we are the last remaining force of the Eldar. If this continues, the Eldar will no longer exist in the entire universe."
"So what? Are you going to give up the mission assigned to us by humans? This is the pride passed down from generation to generation by our ancestors. Countless elves have fought for it. Are you going to give up now? Don't tell us, go talk to our ancestors." A bearded burly man slammed the table with a bang.
"Do you think I want to give up? But if we don't make corrections, the elves will no longer exist. At that time, who will stop the expansion of the evil god?" Another bald man also slammed the table.
Just like countless previous meetings, everyone banged their heads on the table, but in the end no one could convince anyone else.
Sitting on the main seat was an old man who also had a bald head but a face full of wrinkles. He was obviously very old. He placed his hands on his chin, supporting the table, and slightly closed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking about.
"Children, children are our future. No matter what, the number of artificial wombs must be restored." The old man finally opened his eyes and sighed.
"Do you also support resting?" The bearded burly man who had just slammed the table in opposition looked incredulous.
"It's not that I support resting, but reality forces us to stop temporarily." The old man sighed.
"But once we stop, it will be difficult for us to set sail again." Although the bearded man was dissatisfied, he still listened to the old man's words.
"That only means that we, the Eldar, can only go so far. Otherwise, if we continue sailing, we might be exhausted of all our strength in the next battle, or the next one, and then we won't be able to rest. I know you must be saying that instead of stopping to rest and facing an unpredictable future, it is better to burn out in the battle and die on the battlefield. But we have to consider the entire Eldar race and not act on impulse. We have to leave hope for future generations," the old man advised.
"But, but I won't give up." With a bang, the bearded man slammed the table hard again.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, with a bang, the door of the conference room was pushed open heavily .
A figure wearing power armor rushed in with a look of disbelief on his face.
"What happened? The evil god's cubs fought back? Impossible, they are already at the end of their strength." The high-ranking elves who were meeting in the conference room all frowned.
Although everyone thought it was impossible, allowing soldiers to break into the meeting room was definitely not a small matter.
And such a big thing, no matter how you think about it, it will not be a good thing.
After all, they haven't had any good things happen to them in who knows how long.
However, what the soldier said next made everyone, including the old man sitting in the first seat, wonder if they were dreaming for a moment.
"Humans, it's humans, humans are back."
As he spoke, the soldier's voice even began to tremble.
"What? Soldier, do you know what you are talking about?"
"Humans are back? That's impossible."
"What's going on?"
Suddenly, the conference room became chaotic.
Until the bald old man who was in the lead slammed the table.
"quiet."
Suddenly, everyone quieted down.
"What's going on?" The old man then looked at the soldier, with confusion in his eyes, but also an unbelievable desire.
"A spaceship just applied to visit our fleet. The patrol team followed the procedure and wanted to detect whether the other party had any evil energy. Unexpectedly, they detected human-level energy strength. It's a human, really a human." The soldier finally calmed down, but his voice was still trembling.
"Let's go and take a look together." The old man stood up, still tall, and holding back his slightly trembling hands, he walked out first.
The rest of the high-ranking Eldar followed one after another, each of them with deep confusion and excitement in their eyes.
The doubt comes from the absolute impossibility, the excitement comes from the fact that it would be great if it were true.
If it is true, not only will the crisis of the elves be resolved, but the doomsday of those evil god's pups will also come.
At this time, the patrol team, which had received orders from high-level officials, had brought the Skylark to the front of the fleet's flagship with the highest standards.
Countless patrol ships led the way in front, and the Skylark followed behind, approaching the flagship all the way.
The closer they got, the more Lin Xu and his companions realized that this seemingly still huge fleet had a deep-seated sense of embarrassment.
The warships of the entire fleet seemed to be pieced together from all over.
It's the kind of shabby battleship that only interstellar pirates would use in the Milky Way.
Moreover, there is a serious shortage of various frigates, patrol ships, etc. around.
It looks like there are only a dozen warships for show.
Moreover, the main guns on the battleship are pitifully few.
"How can they survive in this river system with such firepower? It's okay to fight the zombies on the ground, but if they go against the rest of the space fleet, wouldn't it be like delivering food to the humans?" Nanzhu said in disbelief.
"But what if there is no space fleet in this galaxy that can fight against them?" Lin Xu suddenly said.
"No? How is that possible? There are so many civilizations in the entire river system, it is impossible that none of them can develop." Nanzhu didn't believe it.
"Yes, it is impossible to be normal, but have you forgotten this completely dead planet? Have you forgotten the evil god's broadcast every three years?" Lin Xu pointed to the planet not far away, which had been swallowed up by zombies and yellow sand and could be said to be completely dead.
"This, all the civilizations in this galaxy can't be like this, right?" Nanzhu looked incredulous.
"If you suddenly received a message from the so-called God in the early stages of the development of civilization, and the God pointed out the way to eternal life, how many civilizations could resist such temptation?" Lin Xu sighed.
"If this is true, then the people in this river system are truly miserable." Nanzhu couldn't help but take a deep breath.
At the same time, the Skylark was approaching the flagship.
This was followed by a grand welcoming ceremony.
At the same time as the welcoming ceremony, a group of high-ranking spirits, led by the bald old man, finally met Lin Xu and his party.
Looking at the energy value that was off the charts on the energy detector, as well as the body size of the human being that was being welcomed as indicated by the device.
Even with the bald old man's temperament, he almost couldn't breathe and fainted.
"The great elder of the spirit race has seen humans."
"I've seen humans."
Boom boom boom, countless mushroom-shaped fireworks exploded in the starry sky.
Of course, those were not real fireworks, but nuclear bombs fired by the celebrating Eldar.
The news of the return of mankind has spread among the elves at the fastest speed.
All the elves were cheering.
Even the soldiers on the ground who were still encircling and fighting the zombies got the news.
When the news came, the soldiers couldn't even believe it at first.
With a loud bang, a bearded soldier in power armor was distracted while looking at the newly received news and was whipped out by a bio-dragon's tail. He hit the rocks heavily and directly collapsed the mountain wall.
Such an impact, even through the power armor, was enough to make him suffer so much pain that he couldn't stand up for a long time.
But today he rolled over and got up.
"Captain, humans are back. Are they really back? Is this news true?"
"This, I don't think it's true, but the news on the battlefield terminal can't be false." The bald captain touched his bald head through his helmet, his face full of confusion.
“So humans really are back.”
"Roar! Kill these evil bastards!"
"Humanity is back. Charge forward for the glory of humanity."
"Kill them as a gift for the return of mankind."
Just like that, the soldiers wearing power armor rushed into the zombie group as if they were injected with chicken blood.
Suddenly, the zombies' front line, which had already been torn apart, was torn into even more pieces.
In fact, the soldiers are all aware of the Eldar’s current predicament.
There used to be many spirit tribes in the universe who were active and hunting down the evil god's cubs.
But since when, their Eldar fleet is the only one left in the universe.
Now, even their fleet is facing difficulties and is on the verge of collapse.
Although everyone appears to be open-minded on the surface, there is actually an invisible pressure in their hearts.
But now, with the return of humans, all this pressure has been eliminated.
As long as humans exist, the elves will not perish.
At the same time, Lin Xu, who was connected to the flagship of the Eldar, stopped the Eldar from expanding the scale of the celebration.
Rather than celebrating, he now wanted to figure out what had happened.
Including what happened in this river system in the past, the bet between the Apocalypse and humans, the origin of the Eldar, and why the Eldar have become so destitute now.
Everything is much more important than celebrating anything.
So, it was still the same meeting room as before, but this time Lin Xu was sitting in the main seat.
Even Miss Qiu, Nanzhu, Mu Xiyue and Lu Yao, at the strong request of the spirits, sat around Lin Xu.
The Spirit Clan's great elder and a number of high-ranking Spirit Clan officials stood below with great joy, vying with each other to answer Lin Xu's questions.
