Volume 3 Chapter 213: False Humans and Real Humans
General Phil's face looked grim, but his mind was working hard.
He didn't know whether the question asked by the young officer in front of him was just out of his momentary curiosity, or whether his question was asked on behalf of the leader of the fleet.
At this moment, he suddenly noticed the scene outside the porthole on his side.
He originally thought that this small spaceship was going to take him to the fleet leader's flagship, but when he looked through the porthole, he discovered that the small spaceship seemed to have not moved at all.
Ever since he boarded the spaceship, he has been staying next to his original warship and has not moved at all.
In an instant, General Phil felt that he understood that the question asked by this young officer might be asked on behalf of the leader of the fleet.
In this case, I have no choice but to answer.
"Yes, the history of our race is false. It is better to say that our race called human beings is false and fictional. It feels ridiculous, doesn't it?" The moment General Phil said this, it was as if he was instantly relieved, and a relaxed expression appeared on his face.
It's like finally having someone to confide in after carrying a secret for so long.
"False? Fictional?" Nanzhu on the side suddenly widened his eyes and stared at General Phil, waiting for his further answer.
"Tell me about it." Lin Xu nodded expressionlessly.
"The existing history of mankind is actually fabricated. Since five thousand years ago, all history has been modified and edited." General Phil was full of a feeling of breaking the jar. Now that he had said it, he would not hide it anymore.
"Starting five thousand years ago? Wasn't that when humans first encountered the Zerg?" Nanzhu asked in surprise.
"Yes, according to historical records, it is true, but that is only the history announced to the public to deceive all the people and allies. According to the real history known only to a few high-level officials, humans actually suddenly appeared five thousand years ago." General Phil replied .
"Suddenly appeared? How could they suddenly appear? There must be some origin, right? Did you pop out from between the rocks?" Nanzhu asked puzzledly, asking the question on behalf of Lin Xu and everyone else.
"As for its true origin, perhaps it's not much different from popping out from a crack in a rock." General Phil laughed at himself.
He was silent for a moment before speaking again.
"Humans are actually a puppet race created by the Zerg five thousand years ago." General Phil sighed.
"What the hell?" No one had expected the answer, and Nanzhu exclaimed in surprise.
Lu Yao, who was working on the test next to him, suddenly stopped, obviously shocked by the answer.
Mu Xiyue's expression also showed a moment of doubt about life.
Even Lin Xu blinked several times. Only Miss Qiu remained calm.
In fact, this answer was beyond everyone's expectations.
No one expected that the final result would be like this.
"Five thousand years ago? A puppet race created by the Zerg? Then, did you make up the false history you called fabricated? Or did the Zerg make it up for you? Was the name of the human race given to you by the Zerg, or did you give it to yourself? And what about your war with the Zerg? Tell me in detail." Lin Xu could no longer hold back and asked immediately.
"I'm sorry, it's such a detailed question that I can't answer. However, the Capital Planet should have detailed records of this real history. I just don't know where it is stored. Once you occupy the Capital Planet, you will definitely find it if you search slowly." General Phil shook his head, indicating that he could not answer these questions.
But it doesn’t matter. Lin Xu immediately looked out the porthole. The battle had entered a white-hot battlefield, so he spoke.
"Arisa, stop playing around, and make a quick decision. Immediately capture the capital planet, take over the data center, and find the true history."
"Understood. Leave it to me." Arisa's voice echoed in the small cockpit.
The next moment, General Phil saw an unforgettable scene. Above the battlefield in the distance, a huge space channel was generated, and endless warships poured out from the space channel.
In just the blink of an eye, the number of warships on the battlefield doubled.
The Zerg warships, which were already being suppressed, were now in a desperate situation.
At the same time, a large number of warships pressed directly towards the location of the capital planet.
The bombardment of huge ships and cannons, followed by rapid airborne ground combat, cleared the Zerg remnants on the ground.
Watching all this happen, General Phil suddenly realized something. The man in front of him didn't seem to be a junior officer at all.
Could he be the so-called leader?
General Phil looked at Lin Xu in surprise. He could not imagine that the ambitious man who he imagined should be full of dominance and always say "I come, I see, I conquer" was actually this ordinary young man.
Suddenly, General Phil, who had been moving somewhat casually, stood up straight.
At the same time, he kept recalling in his mind whether he had done anything impolite when talking to the other party just now.
Only after confirming that there was nothing did I breathe a sigh of relief.
"Thank you for your frankness. You can go back first." Lin Xu turned his head to look at General Phil again and nodded to him friendly.
"Yes, it's a pleasure to serve you." General Phil saluted solemnly, then turned around and left with meticulous steps.
Lin Xu was a little surprised for a moment. Wasn't he quite casual when he came here just now? Why did he suddenly become so reserved?
"He seems to have just realized that Lord Lin Xu is the one you want to meet his leader." This time it was Nanzhu who keenly noticed the abnormality. After the other party left, he smiled and said to Lin Xu.
"I see." Lin Xu, who had not noticed this, recalled what had just happened and smiled in a daze.
But these were all trivial matters and he quickly forgot about them.
Because on the other side, Arisa's fleet has successfully occupied the capital star. At the same time, the ground combat armored forces have found the location of the data center and cleared out the Zerg nearby.
The autonomous mechanical aggregate sent by Lin Xu later has also successfully arrived at the data center and connected to the data center's database.
Yinghuo took action personally and instantly took control of the most core database of the entire "human" world.
Unfortunately, after countless searches on Yinghuo, not a single bit of information related to real history was found.
No one knows where the true history is hidden.
"If there is no record in the database, then it can only be collected manually, and the biggest suspects should be those biggest figures, right?" Nanzhu suggested.
"The biggest figures, they should be the Speaker or the Commander, right? Can we find where they are?" Lu Yao asked.
"Search again, search again. Don't be anxious. I will dig three feet deep to find them." Arisa said fiercely.
At the same time, all the ground forces on the capital planet also took action following Arisa's orders.
The database naturally contains detailed information about the commander and the speaker.
Among the people who survived the disaster on the ground, some were in pain, while others were at a loss.
The ground forces have already begun data scanning of all the rescued ordinary people, looking for the commander and the speaker who may be hiding among them.
The result was that nothing was found.
It was not until ground forces detected a suspected underground fortress thousands of meters underground near the parliament.
Based on the big data analysis in the data center, Arisa speculated that this might be the so-called doomsday bunker built in advance. The commander, the speaker, and some missing senior officials are likely hiding here.
Negotiate to get them out.
This was Arisa's first thought.
But then she overturned her idea.
No need to wait, it’s too troublesome, let’s just attack directly.
In this way, following Arisa's will, the ground forces began their assault on the Doomsday Bunker.
At this time, in the intelligence room such as the Doomsday Bunker, which was monitoring the outside world through the small amount of monitoring equipment left outside, the top "human" officials were arguing with each other.
The network lines in the doomsday bunker are completely isolated from the network of the entire "human" society, and are not connected to the core database. The fear is that possible enemies will gain control of the core database and follow the clues to find this place.
This also means that once you enter here, the means of obtaining information from the outside world will become extremely limited.
Just like now, when everyone first saw the Zerg wreaking havoc on the capital planet, they cursed in pain, but were also glad that they could hide here and be safe for the time being.
But then the development of things began to exceed their imagination.
A fleet came from nowhere and seemed to have destroyed the Zerg fleet in space, and even sent ground troops to destroy the Zerg on the ground.
They also analyzed the weapons and equipment of this suddenly appearing army, but could not tell which civilization it belonged to.
So while everyone was happy, some people began to advocate opening the doomsday bunker and returning to the safe ground.
Some people also feel that the current ground may not be safe.
"The Zerg have been wiped out. Where is unsafe?"
"Although the Zerg have been eliminated, who are the newcomers? Can you guarantee that they are our people? We are all high-ranking human beings. Who knows if it will be a blessing or a curse if we fall into the hands of a group of unknown people?"
"I think you are feeling guilty. Everyone knows that your family has been embezzling the funds for the research of space jump devices. If not, we might have successfully researched space jumps long ago."
"You, you are slandering me. I am doing this for the sake of all mankind. I must not let all the high-level officials fall into the hands of people whose origins are unknown."
Seeing that several congressmen were about to quarrel again, the Speaker turned his head away with a headache and didn't look at them, but his eyes were communicating with the commander.
But both of them were very hesitant, not knowing whether to open the doomsday bunker at this time.
Unexpectedly, before they could make a decision, the entire doomsday bunker suddenly began to shake violently, causing everyone in the intelligence room to fall to the ground.
"What's going on? What happened?"
"Was it an earthquake? Check the bunker quickly to see if there is any damage ."
"No, it's an invasion. The bunker was invaded. It's those ground troops. They broke in." A voice suddenly screamed hysterically.
Everyone's eyes immediately turned to the monitor he was pointing at, and they saw that outside the gate of the doomsday bunker, the ground that had been deeply buried had been drilled open by a drill.
At the same time, the door was blown open by a powerful bomb, and a large number of combat machines poured into the bunker.
"What are they going to do? Those here are high-ranking human beings. Are they going to rebel?" someone shouted angrily.
"Idiot, they are not our subordinates."
Some people also saw danger in the combat machines' unceremoniously blasting open the bunker's door.
It is obvious that the other party does not care about their life or death, otherwise how could he behave like this.
"Quick, run away."
"Escape? Where to escape?"
"Wait, why did the Speaker rush out?"
"And the commander also ran away."
"No, they are going to surrender. We are also fast and we can't fall behind."
Finally, someone reacted and immediately followed the Speaker and the Commander and chased after them.
There were even people stamping their feet in anger.
I cursed inwardly, you are the Speaker and the Commander, I am just a member of parliament, my reaction speed is not as fast as yours.
On the other side, the fighting machines that had just rushed into the doomsday bunker in front of the gate and had not yet started searching saw a group of figures holding white flags walking out cautiously.
As he walked, he kept shouting, "I am so-and-so, I want to surrender."
The fighting machine's eyes swept across these surrendering figures and directly locked onto the Speaker and the Commander among them.
"Hello, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Commander, please tell us the whereabouts of the true history." The camera of the combat machine locked onto the two people, while the muzzle of the gun also locked onto the two people, and the mechanical voice asked.
Suddenly, the two people who were locked by the gun felt a cold sweat covering their foreheads.
It was obvious that the robot was following orders. Although they didn't know what the consequences would be if they refused to answer, they didn't want to challenge how seriously the robot would follow orders.
So without waiting for the robot to ask any more questions, both of them confessed everything.
"I know that the true history is hidden in the museum, in the safe on the bottom floor." The Speaker was the first to speak.
The commander, who was a step slower to speak, glared at the Speaker hatefully.
"I hope you are not lying. Please follow me." The fighting machine made way for the passage and motioned for everyone to go out of the bunker.
So everyone walked out of the bunker with trepidation.
At the same time, Arisa, who had obtained the information she wanted, reported the news to Lin Xu as a gift, and at the same time, she had already arrived at the museum and opened all the safes on the bottom floor of the museum.
He didn't even look at the various artifacts inside until he found a hard drive that was obviously storing data.
Afterwards, the hard drive was protected layer by layer by the autonomous mechanical aggregate at its core, and then directly escaped into Lin Xu's personal space and was handed over to Yinghuo for data reading.
So after a while, Lin Xu and others on the Skylark finally learned the true history of "human beings".
Looking at the records above, even Lin Xu couldn't help but frown.
As General Phil said before, humans are a puppet race created by the Zerg.
Compared to what General Phil knew, the records on this hard drive were more detailed.
Five thousand years ago, the wise men among the Zerg felt that the Zerg were all muscular and simple-minded bugs, and there were very few wise men who could use their brains. So they imitated the primate intelligent races that were widely present in the universe and created the "human" race, intending to use it to assist the Zerg and conduct research on technology.
It is a pity that the intelligent "humans" eventually betrayed the Zerg and defected collectively five thousand years ago. They even took away many races enslaved by the Zerg when they defected.
From then on, there was a long war between the defecting "humans" and the Zerg.
The Zerg have always wanted to destroy "humans", the failed experiment, while "humans" have always wanted to completely get rid of the Zerg and destroy the Zerg, their creator.
Because "humans" don't want to admit that they were created by a bunch of bugs.
"So, the fake fairy ship we saw was the one that those humans took when they defected from the Zerg? Those human follower races on it also escaped with the humans?" Nanzhu said with sudden enlightenment.
"So, how did the fake fairy ship come about? Why are the traces of humans living on the fairy ship, their fictional past history, and those literary and artistic works all from Earth humans?" Lu Yao still expressed confusion.
"No, it's not the history they made up, but the history the Zerg made up for them." Mu Xiyue, who read faster, corrected.
"Huh? The Zerg made up history for them?" Lu Yao was stunned for a moment, then quickly continued reading.
Sure enough, according to the introduction later, the past history of mankind was not actually fabricated by themselves, but was fabricated for them by the Zerg.
Even the name "human" was originally given to them by the Zerg.
"Why, why is this? Why do the Zerg call them humans? They even fabricated a part of the history of real humans onto them?" Lu Yao looked at Lin Xu, the only real human, in confusion.
"And that fake fairy ship was given to them by the Zerg after they were created by the Zerg." Lin Xu added.
"So, this means that the Zerg created a race similar to real humans, and gave this race the name of humans, and fabricated part of the history of real humans onto this race, and even gave this race a fake fairy ship? What the hell are these Zerg?" Nanzhu now has a head full of question marks.
In fact, it wasn't just her, everyone present had a lot of questions in their heads.
I originally thought that everything was just a problem for these "humans" and the Zerg were just a background.
Only now did I suddenly realize that the Zerg were the culprit.
"So, now we can be sure that the Zerg must know the existence of real humans, and even have some understanding of humans, so they were able to create such a race that is similar to humans, and even intercepted part of human history and fabricated it onto these humans created by the Zerg. But what is the purpose of the Zerg doing this? Is it really just as the hard drive of real history says, to assist the Zerg in technological research?" Lu Yao tapped his chin and thought.
"Yes, if it was just to create a race to assist the Zerg in technological research, there would be no need to go through so much trouble. So the Zerg must have other purposes, so they deliberately named this race after humans and fabricated a history related to real humans for them." Mu Xiyue also agreed with Lu Yao's opinion.
"Oh, no, I can't take it anymore. I feel like my head is going to explode. I just can't figure it out." Nanzhu rolled on the sofa.
“Hey, you are a fox famous for your wisdom after all. Please don’t bring shame to your fairy fox clan.” Mu Xiyue, who is also a member of the clan, couldn’t stand it anymore.
"Using your brain is tiring. Why should I use my brain when I can just give up?" Nanzhu said confidently.
In short, as the true history was obtained, some mysteries were solved, but it seemed that there were more unsolved mysteries.
However, this time everything pointed to the Zerg, a direction that no one had thought about at the beginning.
"Okay, now that it's confirmed that there's a problem with the Zerg, our next step will be to find them. Although most of the Zerg we've encountered so far are brainless, since they've done so many things, there should still be quite a few real Zerg with brains that we can communicate with." After refusing to use his brain, Nanzhu happily made this decision and looked at Lin Xu, waiting for his approval.
"That's right. If you have any questions, just ask the Zerg directly. They are really brave to name their creations after humans without permission." Lin Xu smiled and reached out to touch the pair of fox ears on Nanzhu's head, but his words were filled with chillness.
"Ah, yes, these Zerg must be aware of the existence of humans. Since they know the existence of humans, they still dare to name their creations like this. What do they mean? Are they looking for death?" Nanzhu also reacted all at once and immediately got furious.
A flash of cold light flashed in Miss Qiu's eyes, and Mu Xiyue and Lu Yao also looked at her unfriendlyly.
To their clans, human being is such a great name.
But now it is being desecrated by a group of insects.
It felt like an ancient retainer seeing the name of his own monarch being taken by a street thug to name the livestock he raised.
If they don't punish these insects, wouldn't it make them seem incompetent?
As the saying goes, if the master is humiliated, the minister will die, so you damned bugs, go to hell.
Whether it is Miss Qiu, Mu Xiyue, Nanzhu or Lu Yao, they are all eager to try.
