Volume 3 Chapter 209 You are not a real human
With sparks and lightning all the way, a small team of power mecha warriors quickly eliminated all the thousands of insects that attacked the settlement.
When everything was over, as the nine elves walked back under the starlight, covered in insect slime, the hundred or so people crowded around the wall cheered loudly with fanaticism in their eyes.
In their view, these people who claim to be followers of humanity must be sent by humans to save them.
They have never seen humans and have only learned information about humans from various materials left by their ancestors.
They knew that humans once wore huge and tall armor and killed insects as easily as chopping melons and vegetables.
They knew that humans had magnificent warships that hunted the vile swarms among the stars.
Now, although they did not see humans, they saw human followers with armor similar to the ones worn by humans in the legend, and human followers who were the same as their ancestors.
They were finally no longer alone.
Afterwards, the chief welcomed Keith and others into the settlement with even greater enthusiasm. Although there were still many doubts that had not been answered, there was no doubt that they needed Keith and others' help now.
After a while, the artificial sun in the sky finally restarted successfully.
The sun once again filled the living area. People in the settlement looked up at the sky and breathed a sigh of relief. The sun rose again.
“这处聚居地应该是临时建设的吧?我想知道,你们原本生活在哪里?又为什么会来到这里?还有,你们对人类的了解,又是从何处得知的。”凯斯一口气问出了目前的疑问。
"Yes, this settlement was established after we were separated by the Zerg and stranded here. We originally lived in another living area, which is currently the best maintained living area in the entire Star Fortress. We have a city there, our City of Hope." The leader nodded and replied.
"As for understanding humans, we will be taught everything about humans in the schools in Hope City from a young age. We will naturally know."
"Everything about human beings?" Kes' eyes suddenly lit up.
At the same time, Lin Xu, who was far away on the Skylark, also brightened his eyes.
" Find the City of Hope and find all their records about humans." Lin Xu immediately gave the order.
As a result, this order appeared in real time on the helmets of everyone in Case's team.
All of a sudden, everyone in the fifth team, whose emotions, having just calmed down a little after the fight, became excited again.
After all, this is an order from the great Lord Lin Xu.
"Where is Hope City?" Keith asked.
"It's in the living area next door, but it's now surrounded by a swarm of insects, otherwise we wouldn't have been separated and trapped here." The leader smiled bitterly.
"Next door? Well, do you want to go home?" Keith grinned, revealing eight neatly-shaped teeth in a smile that even reflected light. He was just about to give a thumbs-up to the leader of the settlement in front of him.
"Go home? Of course." The leader didn't care about Keith's actions, but was instead aroused by some emotions in his words.
"Okay, let's go. I'll take you home and you just need to show me the way." Keith said directly.
“可是,希望城被虫群围困,我知道你们很能打,可你们只有这点人?”首领迟疑道。
"How do you know? We only have this few people?" Keith asked.
"You, you have other manpower?" The leader's eyes lit up.
"Of course, although there are not many people, it is enough to kill a few bugs."
What Keith didn't say was that, although there were other people, the other teams also had their own tasks, so the task of finding the City of Hope would only be completed by their Fifth Team.
However, although their numbers are small, with perfect preparation, their combat effectiveness is definitely not comparable to that of mere insects.
So, not long after, when the people in the settlement had just finished their excited preparations and were nervously planning to follow Keith and others back to Hope City, a huge roar continued to be heard above the false sky above the living area.
Then, several huge holes appeared in the sky.
Unlike the small opening when Keith and others came in, this time the entrance was at least a hundred meters wide. Even high in the sky, people on the ground could still see it clearly.
At the same time, we also saw several large machines with huge drills drilling through the sky and then falling directly from the sky.
However, while still in mid-air, these huge machines transformed into gigantic war machines that were more than a hundred meters long.
It looked like a huge tank, with thick tracks and countless huge gun muzzles pointing in all directions, and fell to the ground with a loud bang.
Then, the tracks of the giant tank, which was a hundred meters long, turned, driving its huge body to the front of the nine soldiers of the fifth team.
There are nine giant tanks in total, and there are also nine Eldar warriors, so it is obvious that one person is fighting one tank.
At this moment, Arisa jumped up immediately when she saw this scene in front of the surveillance camera on the Skylark.
"Hey, this machine learned how to transform from my battleship, right?"
"I don't know. This is the equipment they made themselves." Lin Xu shrugged.
“You figured it out yourself?” Arisa was a little surprised.
"Yes, they have been busy this year and have drawn quite a few sketches, but most of them were rejected by Yinghuo. However, some of them looked good, so I asked Yinghuo to help them complete the design drawings and try them out after they are produced." Lin Xu replied.
“他们这样是要给我版权费的。”亚里莎双手环抱,气势十足道。
"I haven't seen you pay copyright fees to the Transformers designer." Lin Xu complained.
"This, can this be the same? I'm just borrowing, borrowing." Arisa's momentum suddenly weakened by three points.
At the same time, Case and others on the surveillance camera had already arrived on .
They did not enter the indoor cockpit either, because the cockpit was originally designed to be open-air, so that they could jump out and fight at any time.
Moreover, these tanks can be connected to their power armor, so they can remotely control the tanks even if they are not sitting in the cockpit.
Afterwards, the hundreds of people who had stranded here were picked up by Case and loaded into his tank.
The tank roared, its tracks turned, and headed towards the living area next door.
These cold and huge tanks, especially the thick gun muzzles, really gave the leader and others confidence.
They kept explaining the direction, and the tanks soon arrived at the edge of the living area.
The locked gate blocked the passage between the living areas.
But under the tank's gun, the blockade was blasted open with one shot.
The hundreds of people on the tank all swallowed their saliva. When they first came, they took a lot of effort to climb in through the ventilation duct.
The passages between the living areas are wide enough that even a tank that is a hundred meters long and wide can pass through easily. This shows that this place was designed to accommodate large machinery.
But the passage is not peaceful either. There are countless insects hiding in the dark passage.
These insects themselves don't like light, so compared to the living area where the artificial sun is still bright, they prefer to live in dark places. Unless driven by higher intelligent insects, they will not take the initiative to go to bright places.
The arrival of the huge tank, coupled with the searchlight from the front of the tank that illuminated the surroundings as bright as day, was like dropping cold water into hot oil, and it instantly caused a violent reaction.
However, these bugs could not make much waves under the countless turrets of the tanks and were easily destroyed.
The tanks rushed all the way, covering a distance of dozens of kilometers in almost an instant, and soon arrived at the living area where Hope City was located.
The hundreds of people in the settlement who were sitting not far from Keith were all very excited at this moment. They didn't show any of the nervousness they had just experienced when they entered the passage and faced the swarm of insects.
Until the giant tank blasted open the locked gate in front with a shot, and the sunlight shone through the gate onto the giant tank.
The tank Case was in was the first to rush into the living area.
The first thing you see is a huge city built of steel in the distance, located in the center of this living area, and an endless swarm of insects besieging the city from the outskirts of the city.
There have been flames of war in many areas of the city, but the battle is not over yet and the city is still holding on tenaciously.
This made Keith nod his head, at least the situation was not as bad as the worst.
Although with Lord Lin Xu, even the worst situation can be reversed, Keith would rather rely on his own abilities to complete the task assigned by Lord Lin Xu, rather than letting Lord Lin Xu clean up his mess.
That would be a great shame.
At this time, both the Hope City that was holding out and the Zerg that was under siege noticed the nine huge tanks that suddenly appeared.
"For the glory of mankind, charge!"
"For humanity."
The Eldar roared, shouted slogans, and rushed towards the City of Hope with tanks at an accelerated speed.
On the plains, the tanks, speeding wildly at a speed of 200 kilometers per hour, crashed into the swarm of insects like wild bulls.
In an instant there was a bloody storm, and then countless turrets on the tanks opened fire.
"The turret is justice, kill these bastards." Keith shouted.
"More is better, bigger is beautiful, caliber is justice, charge!"
The cheers of the Eldar also made the blood boil for the hundreds of settlement members sitting on the Kestanks, so they raised their rifles and fired at the Zerg. Although it was useless, it was better than nothing.
In this way, the tanks rampaged through the swarm, obviously alarming the brains of the swarm.
The siege of Hope City was commanded by several huge intelligent insects the size of hills.
The intelligent insects in the distance moved, and suddenly a large number of insects separated from the vast swarm of insects and came towards the tank cluster, trying to submerge the nine tanks.
It's a pity that the tanks manufactured by Yinghuo are of extremely high quality. After all, they are produced by human production lines. There is no possibility of them breaking down during a fight. They are even like a meat grinder, covered with the blood and flesh of insects, but they are still running at a speed of 200 kilometers per hour.
Until the nine tanks arrived at a certain location and suddenly stopped.
"Ready, long-range turret mode." Keith gave the order.
四台坦克清理周边,五台坦克直接原地扎根,随即一阵机械变化,整台坦克庞大的躯体抬起,一根粗大的炮筒指向天际,紧接着轰鸣中开火了。
The shells seemed to have eyes and went straight to the brains of the insect swarm, those insects as big as hills.
Those insects obviously felt the threat, chirping hoarsely and spreading force fields in the sky.
Boom boom boom, mushroom clouds rose in the air.
But it doesn’t matter, we have plenty of ammunition.
Then countless shells were fired continuously, pouring down like an overwhelming force.
Finally, the force field in the sky was blasted away and landed directly on the insect.
Then, insects as big as hills were sent directly into the sky by the mushroom cloud.
In an instant, the entire battlefield seemed to pause.
Immediately afterwards, the swarm of insects, having lost the command of the intelligent insects, fell into chaos.
"Fight back and kill these bugs."
"Kill the dirty bugs."
"Long live humanity."
This is the slogan heard from the City of Hope in the distance.
The city lord led the way and rushed out of the city in an armored vehicle.
Behind him were countless soldiers sitting in various vehicles.
There are armored vehicles, trucks, and even tricycles.
The soldiers in the car kept firing, eliminating the insects that were already in chaos.
After leading the soldiers to launch a counterattack, the city lord left the battle group and headed towards the giant tanks of Keith and others.
In any case, as the city lord, he must meet these unexpected reinforcements.
Even now, he still doesn't know who these external supports are.
But looking at the huge tank and its powerful firepower, a possibility emerged in his mind, a possibility that made him so excited that he even trembled a little.
Keith also led the tank group, disabled the long-range mode, and rushed towards the City of Hope.
Along the way, kill all kinds of insects that are already running away and trying to hide back in the darkness.
Finally, halfway through the journey, we met the city lord's armored vehicle.
However, compared with the giant tank that is a hundred meters long, this armored vehicle is as small as the comparison between a child and an adult.
"Are you sure they are followers of humans?" The city lord asked excitedly after communicating with the leader of the hundred people.
"Lord City Lord, if they are not followers of humans, who else could they be?" the leader asked.
"Yes, this is the only possibility." The city lord nodded heavily.
By the time Keith resolved the battle with the Zerg and finally met with the city lord, the nanorobots had already followed Keith's footsteps and spread towards the City of Hope.
Soon, all the knowledge from the school textbooks in Hope City appeared in front of Lin Xu.
Lin Xu took the textbook simulated by the aggregation of nanorobots in front of him and flipped through the pages with a look of astonishment on his face.
"What's wrong? Let me take a look too." Arisa came over and watched with them.
然后她的表情也跟着愕然了起来。
“这,这是他们记载中的人类?穿着动力装甲和虫子打架?这么看来也难怪他们一开始把灵族认成你们了。”亚里莎错愕之余,竟然还从中找到了一点合理性。
"What do you think is the possibility that the humans who arrived here back then would have to wear power armor to fight a bunch of bugs?" Lin Xu looked at Arisa and asked.
"The possibility is zero, unless you humans all went crazy back then." Arisa looked at Lin Xu, then pointed at a few places in the book, "Let alone humans, any human family can easily deal with these bugs. Do you humans need to fight bloody battles? And make huge sacrifices?"
Arisa said this and pointed her finger at "huge sacrifice".
"Yeah, then what's going on?" Lin Xu nodded slowly.
"Haven't you figured it out? It's obvious that these guys who call themselves humans are not humans at all. They are obviously a bunch of impostors. Although it's unclear whether they are pretending to be humans on purpose or there is some misunderstanding, they are definitely not humans." Arisa said affirmatively.
"That's right, that's right. How could the people described in this book be humans? Letting humans wear power armor to fight insects? All of us in the clan should die to atone for our sins." Nanzhu leaned over and nodded repeatedly.
"The most important thing is that this is a huge sacrifice. How is it possible?" Lu Yao also joined in the fun.
"I also think that the ancestors of the tribe that built this City of Hope did not follow humans. But those people called themselves humans, and there is also this fairy ship. Except for the unqualified building materials, it is too similar to the real fairy ship." Lin Xu concluded. Although it was confirmed that this human was not that human, there were still many mysteries that could not be resolved.
The most crucial point is why this suspected fake fairy ship is so similar to the real fairy ship.
Also, what about the traces of human life on the fake fairy ship?
Various pop songs, games, film and television materials are indeed human.
At this time, Keith was already enjoying the treatment of a hero. Amid the cheers of the people of Hope City, he entered Hope City with his fellow Eldar.
The tanks were left outside the city because they were too large.
Nine people walked on the streets of Hope City, and the buildings on both sides of the street were filled with cheering crowds.
Keith waved to everyone, which brought another round of cheers.
The city lord also stayed with the few people with a smile on his face.
Then there was a grand banquet, and enthusiastic girls performed hot dances.
But the nine Eldar warriors found it boring.
They really didn't understand what was so interesting about this female twisting and turning. It was not as exciting as the battle.
Women only slow down the speed at which I can draw my sword.
The Eldar, who are all male, have a very unanimous view on this.
However, Lord Lin Xu seems to like beautiful females very much. If he ever encounters beautiful females of a hostile race, he can snatch a few of them and present them to Lord Lin Xu.
Keith was drowsy but he still thought about Lin Xu. He just didn't know what Lin Xu would feel if he knew it.
The welcome banquet finally ended, and the city lord took Keith and others to the place where precious documents were secretly collected in Hope City. There were records of all the information about what their clan knew, about this fortress in the starry sky, and about human beings.
Only then did the members of the fifth team regain their spirits.
I can finally complete Lord Lin Xu's mission.
The nanorobots have now covered the entire City of Hope, but have not yet found where the documents are hidden.
It was not until the elevator went down under the guidance of the city lord that Keith realized that the precious information was stored underground.
"Here is the information about everything that happened back then. You can check out this information, but I'm sure you shouldn't make it public to the people of Hope City." The city lord stood in the huge data room with a complicated look in his eyes.
"Is there any truth that cannot be known?" Keith asked puzzled.
"Yes, in fact, our ancestors did not voluntarily stay behind to cover their retreat. Instead, there was an internal rebellion when they were escaping, so they were trapped here." The city lord was silent for a moment, then spoke.
"So you portray your ancestors as great as possible in order to give future generations a reason to persevere, right?" Keith understood after thinking about it.
"That's right. Once they find out that their ancestors may not be as great as they imagined, or may even be deserters, what do you think will happen?" The city lord said with a wry smile.
"I don't know." Case shook his head.
"Yes, no one knows, so it's good like this now." The city lord nodded.
"Don't worry, we won't tell anyone." Keith nodded.
"That's good." As soon as the city lord finished speaking, he looked around with a look of surprise.
Because he saw that the countless and various documents scattered throughout the huge archive room were floating up in the air. Every document was floating up, and at the same time, there seemed to be a big hand in the void, constantly flipping through these books quickly.
Books were flipped through as quickly as possible and then moved on to the next one.
Countless books in the entire information room were flipped through at a speed visible to the naked eye.
By the time he reacted, all the books were back in place.
"This, what is this?" The city lord looked at Keith in amazement.
"Lord Lin Xu was reading these books and he has finished them now." Keith replied.
"Lord Lin Xu? What is that?" the city lord asked doubtfully.
Even the legendary humans he knew did not have such incredible abilities.
"Lord Lin Xu is a human, but not the humans you know." Keith explained.
He now also knows Lin Xu's just-made inference through the information transmitted.
"Not the human I know?" The city lord was puzzled.
"Have you ever thought that the humans you know might not be real humans?"
