[Chapter 471: Cleansing out the Traitors]
Tank, Dozer, Morpheus, and Trinity were startled by this sudden change. Tank, who was staring at the surveillance camera, hadn’t figured out what was approaching them when the other party was already above their heads and knocked them twice.
This strange situation made the few people fall into a daze, and it was Morpheus who came to his senses first.
“David?”
“It’s me!”
Just as Morpheus was about to tell David how to get in, he suddenly saw a golden light gate flashing above his head, and then a figure jumped out of the light gate and stood steadily in front of him.
Seeing who was coming, it was indeed David who had just separated.
Morpheus couldn’t help but take a half step back and looked David up and down. He found that the other party was wearing the same casual clothes as in the Matrix world. He didn’t ignore Tank’s warning just now, so how did the other party approach his ship at an alarming speed?
Some kind of single-person aircraft? Parked outside?
And what technology did he use when he came in just now? Space teleportation?
Of course, there is another possibility, that is, he did not return to the real world, and was still in the matrix, so such an outrageous thing happened.
No matter what happened, Morpheus raised his hand to stop Dozer. The sturdy operator raised a weapon that looked very heavy and was aiming at David. He would open fire immediately if the situation was not right.
After seeing Morpheus’s gesture, Dozer relaxed a little, but did not put down his weapon.
Because the way this man named David appeared was too weird, and he didn’t know this guy at all.
“I know you have a way to find me, but I didn’t expect you to come so quickly.” Morpheus was very curious, how did David do it?
“If it takes a long time to travel such a short distance, where does the capital come from to come here to save the world?”
“That makes sense.”
Morpheus nodded. It is normal for David to have such strength. It would be strange if he didn’t.
As for the way it appeared at the end, it should be some kind of space technology!
“This is Tank, this is Dozer.” Morpheus introduced his crew members to David directly: “There are several others, I will introduce them to you later. Do you want to take you to visit my ship?”
“No, I have already scanned it.”
David scanned it when he saw the Nebuchadnezzar. Overall, the technical content of this ship is not high. Even without detailed drawings, Winter City can easily restore it based on its appearance and various states during flight.
The versions made by Winter City are better than the current one – because of the situation of humans in the real world, these ships are basically pieced together with various old parts, and the quality is really not very good.
Morpheus noticed the disgust on David’s face, and it was difficult to say anything about it.
This is the current situation of mankind, and there is no excuse.
If it were not for this, David, an alien from another universe, wanted to recruit him to save the human beings on Earth, Morpheus would not care at all, and would even try to find out the real intentions of the aliens and choose to fight against them.
Now, he is going to lead the way for the alien boss, just so that humans can have a real tomorrow.
“Have the traitors been cleared?”
“You came too quickly.”
Morpheus had just woken up and hadn’t said a few words when David arrived. He had no time to deal with the traitor issue, and his original plan was to find a way to test it out to confirm whether what David said was true or false.
“Understood.” David knew that Morpheus wanted to test Cypher, so he raised his hand to indicate that you can do whatever you want next, I’ll just watch the fun.
Morpheus nodded and asked Trinity to call everyone on the ship to a meeting, and then he personally explained the current situation to Tank and Dozer.
He used the most concise language to make the two operators understand what was going on.
As for David’s specific identity, he did not introduce it, and he would explain it in detail after dealing with the traitor.
Although Tank and Dozer had many questions, after learning that there was a traitor in the team, they knew that now was not the time to ask these questions, and said that they would fully cooperate with Morpheus and clear the traitor first before talking about other things.
Soon, the traitor Cypher, the white-haired girl Su Weiqi, Haozi and others walked into the bridge one after another. When these people saw a stranger in the bridge, they were all surprised.
“A newcomer?”
This thought was suppressed in an instant. Every time they wanted to accept a newcomer, it was a team action. Not only did they have to do various tasks in the Matrix world, but they also had to cooperate in various ways in the real world .
What’s more, the newly liberated people were so weak that they couldn’t even stand up, let alone open their eyes.
The young man in front of them looked very healthy, especially with his thick black hair. It was definitely impossible for him to be a newcomer who had just come out of the Matrix world.
After a little observation from the side, everyone noticed that David had no sockets on his body, and turned to guess that David was someone from Zion.
“What happened?”
Seeing that everyone on the ship came to the bridge and there were people who seemed to be sent by Zion, Sefer had an ominous premonition in his heart.
Morpheus glanced at Sefer, and did not reveal his true intentions early. He scanned all the crew members with a serious expression: “We are facing a huge crisis…”
David stood by and watched Morpheus’s performance quietly.
It must be admitted that Morpheus has a huge reputation on this ship, and none of these crew members would question Morpheus’ judgment and decision.
When Morpheus announced that Cypher was the traitor, almost everyone’s first reaction was not to question, but to prepare to subdue the traitor.
After Sefer found himself exposed, he did not want to get away with it by quibbling, but immediately wanted to use force to seize the initiative – such as taking hostages.
Unfortunately, he chose the wrong target. After picking up a screwdriver, he rushed straight towards David.
Maybe in Sefer’s eyes, David suddenly appeared on this ship just to remind Morpheus, so this young man is likely to be an important figure in Zion.
As long as he can hold this young man hostage, he will have a chance to escape.
Dreams are beautiful, but reality is very skinny.
Although these “hackers” are all peerless masters who can fly over eaves and walls in the matrix world, they can use all kinds of fighting techniques at will.
But in the real world, they are at most relatively strong ordinary people.
They can’t fly over eaves and walls, they can’t jump dozens of meters away with one jump, and even the various fighting techniques instilled in their minds are difficult to use in reality.
And David is an extraordinary existence who can jump hundreds of meters away in the real world, and he can easily subdue these people with just a flick of his finger.
But David chose a simpler and more brutal way: pull out a gun!
The black muzzle of the gun pointed at his head, and Sefer calmed down instantly. He froze in place and raised his hands obediently, and threw away the screwdriver in his hand.
“I can explain…”
“I’m not interested!”
Bang!
The power of the Holy Light Hunter was too great, so at the moment the watermelon exploded, David used the Holy Light energy to wrap it up to prevent the dirty things from being scattered everywhere.
At the same time, it also avoided damaging the ship, which already had many problems.
Putting away the Holy Light Hunter, David nodded to the startled Morpheus: “You’re welcome.”
“…”
Morpheus had an expression of “I’m not going to say thank you” on his face, and asked the crew to dispose of the body first – this thing is very simple, just throw it directly from the lower hatch into the sewer. The sewers in this world are full of bodies discarded by robots.
There, it is the final destination of most matrix humans.
After doing these things, Morpheus thought for a while and told the crew about David’s situation in detail.
Although everyone was determined to follow Morpheus, they all looked incredulous when they heard these outrageous words.
Morpheus did not say how David would prove the authenticity of these things. That was what David would do next.
“Before going back, go pick someone up first.”
“Who?”
“Neo.”
Morpheus’ eyelids jumped. If David had not shown too many “irrational” abilities before, according to his previous habits, he would definitely suspect that everything David did was actually for Neo, the savior.
Just as he was about to ask, David gave an answer that Morpheus found unbelievable.
“I know you want to find Neo, thinking he will be the savior of mankind.” David fiddled with some parts on the ship, saying something that everyone didn’t quite understand: “This is just a scam of the Machine Empire, and I’ve already replaced this savior.”
“Replacement? You mean…”
“Yes, Neo in the Matrix world now is actually someone I sent.” David looked at the main food for the people on the ship: a lump of nutritious paste, and his face was full of disgust: “So we have to pick him up first, and then go to Winter City together.”
The next thing to do is very clear, contact Neo and free him from the Matrix world.
As for the long recovery period? When Neo’s body was disconnected from the matrix and truly awakened, the holy light that David poured into his body began to work.
In just a moment, his body returned to its healthiest state.
Except that the hair on his body has not grown back, his current state is no different from when he was in Winter City.
However, it did not prevent David from taking a few photos.
“…”
Constantine looked at David speechlessly. He knew that when the multi-functional tool in Winter City was shooting, there would not be such an obvious flash. David was obviously doing it on purpose.
“How do you feel, John?”
“Not very good.” He reached out and touched his head. The unprecedented touch made him feel strange: “It seems that I have to practice seriously at home for a while.”
“Don’t worry, you will recover when you return to Winter City.” Referring to Clint’s situation, David can be sure of this: “Of course, if you want to shave your head again, I won’t object.”
