Chapter 186 Allies
Xu Hongming subconsciously took a half step back, his eyes focused on the spaceship that was landing.
As the altitude of the spaceship continued to decrease, the details of the spaceship gradually appeared in his eyes, and Xu Hongming couldn't help frowning.
Where are the engine nozzles?
Where are the thrusters?
Why is there almost no sound during the spaceship's travel?
This spaceship... on what principle is it flying in the air?
Xu Hongming suddenly had countless confusions in his mind.
If he hadn't seen this spaceship rushing from a distance with his own eyes, and launched a powerful attack with unknown principles and frightening, he would even suspect that this spaceship was operating on the principle of "dog pulling a line".
The starship was descending very quickly. Just when all kinds of questions just emerged in Xu Hongming's mind, this huge starship had already hovered steadily in front of everyone -
yes, hovering.
Xu Hongming saw it very clearly. The spaceship didn't even touch a weed on the ground, and it just hung steadily in the air!
Swish.
A crack appeared on the side of the starship. As the hatch slowly opened, a metal staircase extended from it and finally hovered above the soft ground.
The resistance fighters following Xu Hongming raised their guns and stepped forward, using their flesh and blood to form a human wall to protect Xu Hongming and Lin Hui.
"Xu, Commander Xu."
A trace of fear of the unknown flashed across Lin Hui's face, and his paranoia was about to break out again: "Are there... people from the Roca civilization?"
"Roca people, are they aliens?"
Xu Hongming didn't say anything, just felt the increasingly intense heartbeat in his chest.
Having fought against intelligent machines all his life, he rarely felt a little panic at this moment.
Boom, boom, boom...
a series of hurried footsteps came from the open hatch.
Xu Hongming subconsciously held his breath and pulled out an electromagnetic pistol with a worn surface from his waist.
Although he knew that this backward weapon was useless, he was still a little calmer when he felt the slight coolness in his palm.
The next second, a figure rushed out of the hatch:
"Don't be impulsive! We are one!!!"
...
Looking at the young man standing on the edge of the pit with dozens of rifles pointed at his head, Xu Hongming's vigilance was instantly reduced.
"Put down your guns."
Judging from the appearance alone, the other party was a pure human.
Not an intelligent machine, not a cyborg, and certainly not some messy Roca.
Seeing the anxious and flustered expression on the young man's face, Xu Hongming's heart moved, and he stretched out his hand to push away the resistance fighters in front of him, and took the initiative to step forward: "One of us?"
"Of course."
Seeing the main person appear, the anxious look on Chen Fan's face eased a little: "Let me introduce myself, Chen Fan, you are..."
"Xu Hongming." Xu Hongming did not hide anything, and reported his name and identity in a deep voice, "Currently the commander-in-chief of the Hai'an Division of the Southern Theater of the Resistance Army."
Hearing this, the expression on Chen Fan's face froze.
Commander-in-chief of the Hai'an Division? This title sounds big. But... Chen Fan looked around, and there were only twelve people around Xu Hongming. Just imagine, how could a commander-in-chief have only twelve people around him? ! According to this, the matter disintegration cannon really accidentally injured friendly forces! It's over, something big has happened! ! "Yi, let me ask, can the people hit by the matter disintegration cannon be resurrected?" Under the gaze of everyone, Chen Fan sighed and asked Yi. "... Impossible, no hope, give up." Yi gave a very concise answer, completely shattering the last glimmer of hope in Chen Fan's heart. Before the electronic synthesized voice fell, the rebels in front of him had already raised their rifles as if they were facing a formidable enemy. Even the commander-in-chief raised a familiar electromagnetic pistol with a solemn expression: "Artificial intelligence?" "What is your relationship with [Source]?" Yes, another misunderstanding. A burst of hurried footsteps came from the starship behind him. Although it was clear that Chen Fan would not be harmed by these backward weapons, seeing that Chen Fan was threatened again, Isa, who was a little impatient, had already rushed out of the starship cockpit holding her own pistol. Seeing the mechanical prosthesis on Isa's body, Xu Hongming's eyes became more dangerous: "Are you from the Mechanical Sect?" Good guy, the misunderstanding has deepened! Facing the black muzzle of the gun, Chen Fan's mouth twitched slightly: "Wait a minute, I can explain all this." As he said, a fluorescent green light shone from his right hand. An electromagnetic pistol of the same model and a thick diary appeared in the fluorescent green light. Seeing the almost brand new electromagnetic pistol, Xu Hongming's pupils slightly dilated, and the expression on his face changed slightly. He slowly lowered the muzzle of the gun aimed at Chen Fan and whispered: "Tell me about it." "It's a long story. The whole thing started 260 years ago..." Xu Hongming: "......?" He admitted that the moment he heard this sentence, he had the urge to shoot for the first time.
...
More than ten minutes later.
"That's roughly what happened."
Chen Fan reached out to take the cup of water handed over by Gao Yuan and moistened his dry throat: "Do you have any questions?"
"...No, not for now."
Xu Hongming patted his stiff face hard to make his dizzy mind a little clearer.
After thinking for a moment, he grasped the key information in the previous conversation:
"So, were you helping us attack the Hai'an Intelligent Machinery Production Base before?"
Chen Fan nodded and admitted: "If you are talking about those antimatter bombs, then I did throw them."
Hearing this, a thought quickly flashed through Xu Hongming's mind:
thigh, this is a pure thigh!
If the rebels can get this thigh, then the small intelligent machinery will not be easily controlled?
The smile on Xu Hongming's face instantly became kind.
"Put it down, all of you put down your guns!"
"Comrade Chen Fan is our ally of the Hai'an Division, how can you point a gun at him?"
Chen Fan: "..." He
was still on edge before, but now he is calling him an ally.
Brother, you know how to change your face.
"What a coincidence." Xu Hongming walked to Chen Fan without any embarrassment, with a smile on his pale face. "After we took down the intelligent machine production base, we found that an intelligent machine tide broke out in this area. At that time, we suspected that the Allies were noticed by [Source]."
"No, we rushed here from Hai'an City non-stop, just to help the Allies deal with some intelligent machines, so as to relieve the pressure on the Allies."
Chen Fan was moved.
It's right, everything is right!
No wonder the rebels appeared in this place full of intelligent machines!
It turns out that they came to relieve the pressure of him, an ally who he had never met before!
And he...
actually injured these allies by mistake with the matter decomposition cannon!
He deserves to die! !
Xu Hongming hadn't noticed Chen Fan's almost overwhelming guilt. He pointed to the deep pit beside him, hesitated for a while and asked in a low voice: "Brother Fan, I have a question for you."
"Can the attack just now be used again?"
"If possible, I hope you can help the resistance army again..."
"No problem!" Chen Fan, who was full of guilt, nodded without hesitation, "I promise you that I will be the resistance army's eternal ally."
Xu Hongming was overjoyed when he heard this.
I've got it, I've got a thigh!
This support trip was really the most correct decision he had ever made in his life!
"Come, come."
He smiled and stretched out his hand to the depths of the forest: "Brother Fan, I'll take you to meet all the resistance fighters in the Hai'an Division."
"...Huh?"
Chen Fan was stunned: "All the resistance fighters?"
"Yes." Xu Hongming's face flashed with embarrassment, "The tunnel here... was collapsed by the antimatter bomb you dropped earlier, and all the resistance members were trapped underground."
He turned his head and glanced at the silver-white deep pit in front of him, his eyes full of fear:
"Now it seems to be a blessing in disguise."
Chen Fan's expression suddenly became complicated.
So...
the matter disintegration cannon did not accidentally injure friendly forces, and his previous guilt and worry were in vain.
Then what about the promise he made out of guilt just now...
"Ahem!"
Chen Fan coughed hard, turned around and patched himself up: "Let me make it clear in advance that the allies I just mentioned are limited to the war against intelligent machines and artificial intelligence."
Xu Hongming was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded: "Of course."
"I guarantee with my character that the resistance will only attack intelligent machines and [Source]!"
As soon as the voice fell, a figure hurriedly emerged from the depths of the forest and ran towards them quickly.
"Commander Xu! Something big has happened!!"
The hoarse roar mixed with the sound of hurried footsteps continued to echo in the quiet forest.
...
The figure gradually became clear, and it was a resistance soldier with black marks of gunpowder on his body.
He quickly ran to the front of Xu Hongming, and his slightly dim eyes curiously looked at Chen Fan and the starship not far away.
"What happened?"
Xu Hongming straightened his face and asked the resistance member in front of him.
"The latest news from headquarters."
The tired-looking resistance fighter quickly came to his senses and reported a piece of intelligence to Xu Hongming in a hoarse voice: "The wave of intelligent machines... has broken out."
"What, what?"
Xu Hongming froze in his tracks: "The wave of intelligent machines in what areas?"
"All regions." The resistance fighter's voice became increasingly hoarse. "The intelligent machines in the eastern and western theaters have rioted and are heading towards the southern theater."
"Even the intelligent machines in the northern theater have begun to migrate on a large scale."
Xu Hongming's heart trembled, and he asked in disbelief: "Are you sure all intelligent machines are targeting the southern theater?"
"..."
"To be precise, it's the Hai'an area." The resistance fighter's eyes showed despair. "Headquarters asked you to reply as soon as possible."
"What exactly happened in the Hai'an area, and why are all the intelligent machines heading for Hai'an?"
Xu Hongming did not speak, but silently raised his head and looked at the young man named Chen Fan in front of him and the khaki starship not far away with a complicated expression.
