Chapter 33: The Rebellion of the Machines (V)



Huo Li looked around at the angry crowd, nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "As a missionary of the Salvation Alliance, I am very happy that everyone has such awareness! In order to save our homeland, everyone must do their part and join the team to protect the cabbage!" Huo Li solemnly raised the flat cabbage in his hand again, "This is a highly intelligent intelligent creature. When its number reaches a certain level, it can control the surrounding machinery!"

"Oh my God! It's amazing!"

"Wow, is this true?"

"Oh my God! We are saved!"

"Yes, you heard it right. When the number of this kind of intelligent cabbage reaches a critical point, we can make nearby helicopters and even mechanical warriors fully use them! So, Our most important task at this stage is to ensure the healthy growth of every intelligent cabbage! And make sure they are completely undetected by unmanned reconnaissance aircraft." Huo Li looked at everyone and raised his voice and asked, "Can you do it?"

"Yes!!!"

More than a hundred survivors, young and old, roared like a tidal wave, shaking the mine hall.

"Very good!" Huo Li said appreciatively, "Then starting tomorrow, a group of smart cabbages will grow around the mine. What you have to do is: make sure they get enough light and don't block it. In addition, and the most important point! Make sure that there are more than 8 people on guard around the smart cabbage field, and always observe the situation in the sky through telescopes! If a reconnaissance aircraft appears in the line of sight, notify the smart cabbages growing on the ground within 2 seconds! The notification method is: shout directly at the cabbage, 'The reconnaissance aircraft is coming! Hide quickly!', and the smart cabbages will automatically hide in the ground. Did you remember it?"

"Remember it!!!" everyone shouted.

"A-choo!" The black-haired boy sneezed at the sting of the black ash falling from the mine, but in his heart he couldn't help but admire Boss Huo's strange idea: in this way, he wouldn't have to guard the cabbage field every day. Why didn't he think of such a weird operation of letting people shout directly at the cabbages during the day...

At this time, Huo Li had already given instructions that as the smart cabbage field grew, more people must be dispatched to carry out reconnaissance and security work. Then Huo Li finally turned to the black-haired boy who was left aside, and asked: "Mr. Yi, do you have anything else to add?"

"Ah, Mr. Huo just said it very well. I only have a little to add," the black-haired boy said, "I have promised everyone before that the 800 kg of purple algae borrowed from the mine base for food conversion will be returned in full after one day. But now I have a better suggestion: at the time of three meals a day, you send someone to the smart cabbage to report the name of the dish for this meal, and the black roots in the cabbage field will serve the food within a few minutes. In this way, you can pay it back on a daily basis until 800 kg is reached. What do you think?" In other words, I am going to default on the 800 kg of food owed!

"Can we still have today's food?"

"Great, I don't want to eat purple algae porridge anymore!"

103 people unanimously agreed to this decision, and were excited to eat more delicious meals, without realizing that Mr. Yi was planning to repay the debt with interest. So the collective dinner and mobilization meeting of the mine base ended successfully!

The next morning, Xiao Yi left 400kg of black silk around the mine to transform into intelligent cabbage. After watching Red Beard Jack arrange 16 people with telescopes to serve as guards around, the two decided to continue the journey to find a base to borrow food to grow vegetables. After

asking Red Beard Jack, they learned that the nearest human base to the mine base is the Valley Base, which is in the mountains about 400 kilometers to the west.

At Huo Li's request, Red Beard also wrote a personal letter to the Valley Base, in which he tearfully described the glorious deeds of the great Mr. Yi and Mr. Huo: food transformation, intelligent cabbage, etc. He wrote several thousand words. With this letter, Huo Li probably didn't want to tamper with the memories of the survivors of the Valley Base anymore, the black-haired boy guessed.

Just as the two were getting ready to set off, Huo Li did not take out the teleportation talisman, but turned to the young man and said, "If you want to keep in touch with the cabbage field, you have to drop black silk along the way. Using the teleportation talisman will definitely not work," Huo Li said as he soared into the wind in a very unrestrained manner, flew around the black-haired young man, and made an inviting gesture to the young man in a very gentlemanly manner, "Xiao Yi, let me take you over with me!" The

black-haired young man glanced at Huo Li's right arm that was in an inviting gesture, and at his smiling eyes, chuckled, and instantly transformed himself into a huge black eagle, spread his wings, rushed into the sky, and flew away to the west.

Huo Li: "..."

2 hours later, this strange combination of a man and a bird flew westward to a deserted mountain. In order to avoid being mistaken for an enemy plane by the survivors in the valley, the two of them dived and landed at the foot of the mountain. Rather than calling it a mountain, it would be more appropriate to call it a continuous pile of earth mixed with stones. There was not a single tree on the mountains, not even a single weed.

Huo Li used his consciousness to sense for a moment, and said to the black-haired boy: "Starting from the western peak, this entire ridge has been hollowed out by the survivors. There are more than 4,200 people living inside. This should be the valley base. The leaders of the base are two siblings named Claire."

So the black-haired boy walked towards the western peak under the leadership of Huo Li. When they climbed to the middle of the mountain, Huo Li directly shouted in the D-planet language to the guards who were wearing brown clothes and hiding behind the rocks:

"We are the missionaries of the Salvation Alliance. We have an emergency to discuss with your leader, Claire and his sister."

When the two soldiers hiding on the side heard Claire and his sister, they relaxed their vigilance a little and walked out from behind the rocks together, but still pointed their guns at Xiaoyi and Huo Li. It was not until the detectors carried by the soldiers determined that both of them were non-mechanical that the guards turned their guns around. One of them said,

"Follow me!" and turned around to lead the way for the two.

Xiaoyi and Huo Li followed him halfway up the mountain for a while, and followed him into a cave entrance covered with rocks. The three of them walked through the almost hollowed-out mountain, and from time to time they could see two-man patrolling with guns. The valley base was much more well-trained than the more than one hundred people in the mine. The entire base was under a semi-militarized management, and everyone was a soldier. Even the women and children who were responsible for growing purple algae in the daylighting area of ​​the valley had guns on their waists. After seeing the unfamiliar Xiaoyi and Huo Li, they all cast vigilant glances in this direction. After the leading guard explained the two people's purpose, everyone returned to their respective positions to continue their own work.

Finally, after passing through three mountains, the three of them arrived at a gate guarded by a row of guards. After the soldier who led the way explained the reason, Huo Li and Xiao Yi were temporarily guarded by the guards, waiting for the response from the soldier who was going to report the news to the leader. Five minutes later, the two were finally allowed to enter under the guard of four soldiers with live ammunition.

A brown-haired woman in her thirties was sitting in the first seat. When she saw the two people come in, she nodded slightly and said,

"Are you the legendary missionaries of the Salvation Alliance? I heard from the older generation that the Salvation Alliance has been sending so-called 'saviors' to our planet since 50 years ago. Then they rely on their special abilities: controlling wind, fire, earth and other abilities, and they think they are invincible!

Under their instigation, the people of our planet D launched many blind attacks on the mechanical army, and within a few years, almost all the resistance forces in the interior were wiped out. Of course, many of you so-called "saviors" also suffered casualties." Claire sneered and continued:

"After a few years, some "saviors" thought it was hopeless to complete the mission, and were unwilling to hide in the dark and work hard like us. They even relied on their special skills to rob survivors for a living! Many bases were looted of food by them! How can you be saviors! You are clearly demons sent by God to destroy the world!

Either you are vicious or you are arrogant and brainless! What do you have to argue? "When the female leader said this, her chest heaved with anger and she glared at the two of them angrily.

Huo Li stood at the bottom and frankly accepted her angry accusations against the former saviors. He did not refute a word but just frowned and said: "They are indeed the scum of the Savior Alliance and deserve severe punishment." After

hearing this, the female leader felt a little relieved, and then turned her gaze to Xiaoyi, waiting for his opinion on the matter. The

black-haired boy said concisely: "They deserve to be killed. "

Huo Li and the female leader were both stunned when they heard this, and looked at the black-haired boy in disbelief.

But Xiao Yi still had a calm face, not joking at all, and then turned to Huo Li and asked: "The Savior Alliance has no rules against killing, but does it have a rule against killing teammates?"

Huo Li said seriously: "It shouldn't be possible, have you forgotten the time you killed me in the Savior Alliance?"

The black-haired boy said with a little regret: "Oh, I know."

The female leader looked at the two people standing below, discussing the feasibility of killing other saviors, as if they were talking about the weather. The female leader was a little frightened, and finally put away her original disgust and contempt and asked:

"What are your names? What is the emergency that you came to the Valley Base to discuss with me this time?"

The two of them certainly couldn't say directly: We want you to hand over all your food supplies and let everyone help us defend the cabbage. So Huo Li stepped forward and handed the passionate and tearful handwritten letter written by Red Bearded Jack to the female leader Klar. Then he said:

"I am Huo Li, a senior tasker of the Salvation Alliance, and this is Xiao Yi, a senior tasker of the Salvation Alliance. You can call us Mr. Huo and Mr. Yi. This is a handwritten letter from Red Bearded Jack of the Mine Base, which records what we have done in the mine base in the past few days. "

Claire took the letter and read it carefully. But as the words 'all the food in stock', 'creating colorful and delicious food out of thin air', 'intelligent cabbage', 'control machinery', 'speaking directly to the intelligent cabbage' flashed before her eyes, Claire's trust in the two people turned into suspicion. Were these two really not scammers pretending to be missionaries to steal food? Or were they originally on Planet D? A wandering and unsuccessful savior? But this is indeed a handwritten letter from Red Bearded Jack. Claire looked at the familiar notes and couldn't help but wonder if this old Jack had gone mad in the underground...

The female leader Claire looked at the two of them sternly, as if she wanted to find some flaws in the faces of Mr. Huo and Mr. Yi. But to her disappointment, these two people were as serious as cabbage could really speak, and were quietly waiting for her statement.

"Mr. Huo, as far as I know, the cabbage written in this letter should be the name of a crop before the end of the world. I have never heard of any crop that can have its own...intelligence. So I can't and don't have the right to hand over all the food stored in the entire base to you."

"I know it's unreasonable to make such a request without any evidence. Then let me prove it. "Then the black-haired boy said, while taking out a cabbage with black "roots" from the space and throwing it on the ground. Those "black roots" automatically drilled into the soil on the ground of the cave, leaving only a green cabbage growing well on the ground.

The black-haired boy made an inviting gesture to Chief Claire: "Now you can ask it questions."

Although the female leader Claire had never seen a cabbage before, she also knew that it was a plant like purple algae. How could purple algae speak! Claire looked at the guards around her who were secretly glancing at her, opened her mouth, but in the end did not say a silly "one plus one equals what? "Ask.

Huo Li, who was standing aside, was a little impatient with the slow progress today, so he walked forward a few steps, squatted down in front of the green cabbage, stretched out his hand and patted its leaves "lovingly", then asked softly in a tone like coaxing a child:

"Little cabbage, come, tell uncle, one plus one equals what?"

Everyone: This time the Salvation Alliance did not send robbers to save the world, this time it sent a fool!

The black-haired boy also tried his best to keep a decent smile, at the same time, he gritted his teeth and controlled the black silk to transform into a mouth in the soil, and answered in the voice of a little boy:

"One plus one equals two. "The little cabbage twisted its leaves and answered muffledly.

The sudden appearance of the child's voice scared the female leader and the guards in the cave! They all stared at the little cabbage with shaking leaves.

After a few seconds, everyone hadn't recovered from the shock! The female leader Claire also squatted down, moved closer to stare at the cabbage carefully, and then unconsciously slowed down her tone and asked:

"Then do you know what 2 plus 2 equals?"

"Equal to 4, this is too simple! "The cabbage continued to answer in a muffled voice with a little boy's voice.

This time the female leader finally saw clearly that the voice came from this cabbage! But Claire still stretched out her hand in disbelief and gently checked the tender green leaves of the cabbage, as if she believed that there was a miniature microphone hidden inside!

The black-haired boy directly controlled the cabbage to shake its body, crawl out of the soil with its black roots, and jump onto Claire's palm so that she could check it thoroughly!

Claire was startled by the sudden action of the cabbage and almost threw it out. Go! But she still relied on her years of training as the leader of the valley base to calm her mind. She held the cabbage carefully in her hands and searched it up and down diligently, but there was indeed no trace of the microphone.

Huo Li on the side looked at his "little boyfriend" with part of his body in the woman's hand, and obediently followed Claire's inspection, lifting the leaves and roots! Huo Li's face was as gloomy as water. As soon as the female leader finished the inspection, she stepped forward and grabbed the cabbage, holding it in her hands and said softly:

"Little cabbage, we are more than just good at counting, right? Come on, dance for your uncle, okay? "

The black-haired boy cursed in his heart: Huo Li! Damn you!

But in order to dispel Claire's doubts, he used his roots to support his flat and fat body, swaying his leaves and spinning around... He really danced!

This time, Claire basically believed what the wise cabbage said. The other guards in the cave also looked at this smart little cabbage with awe and curiosity.

Huo Li held the little cabbage that was dancing in his palm like a priceless treasure. His doting eyes almost drowned it. Then Boss Huo, who was immersed in great happiness, got a little carried away:

"Come on, little cabbage, tell Uncle Huo Li, is he handsome?"

Under the unanimous attention of everyone, the little cabbage stopped spinning and seemed to be looking at Huo Li's deep phoenix eyes. The bridge of the nose and thin lips.

Then he waved his leaves and said in a sweet voice to Huo Li's handsome face,

"You! Handsome! What a fart!"
