Huo Li's proud smile froze for a moment, but he immediately smiled again and said, "Look how smart this kid is. He knows I'm not handsome, and he can even curse me. Hahaha!"
The other survivors in the cave didn't know that Huo Li was heartbroken. Instead, they were amazed at the high IQ of this smart cabbage! How smart is a cabbage that can curse people!
At this time, the female leader Claire also completely believed the words of the smart cabbage, and said to Huo Li and Xiaoyi, "I support your plan. I will notify the entire valley base and hold a collective vote on this matter!"
Half an hour later, more than 400 people gathered in the open space in the valley, waiting for the female leader Claire to speak. The 400-plus people were all decision-makers selected by the valley base at a ratio of 10:1. Of these, 150 were members of the valley's guards, 60 were members of the anti-mechanical resistance team led by the male leader, Mr. Claire, and the remaining 200 were representatives of the elderly, children, women and children who usually worked hard in the caves to grow purple algae and make other necessities of life.
The female leader, Claire, climbed a boulder in the valley and said to everyone in a loud voice: "The two people next to me are the new saviors sent to Planet D by the Savior Alliance."
Amid the boos of the "saviors" from the audience. Claire raised his voice to suppress his dissatisfaction and explained to the two people: "They are different from the robbers and good-for-nothings sent in the past 50 years. Mr. Yi and Mr. Huo used the food conversion ability of the intelligent cabbage to bring abundant food to the survivors in the mine base. And the intelligent cabbage not only has this ability, it can even control the surrounding mechanical warriors in a certain amount! And now the mine base has used all the purple algae they stored to transform into this kind of intelligent cabbage, and all the staff have started to plant and guard the cabbage. As the leader of the valley base, I put forward this proposal to everyone. I think we should follow the example of the mine base and use our stored food..."
"Hush!!!"
"Don't believe those two liars!"
"Smart cabbage, I also have intelligent purple algae!"
"To cheat us out of our food, this excuse is too lame!"
"Is this old woman Claire crazy?"
"I've said it before, the leader should be Alexander..."
There was a lot of booing from the audience, and the most severe scolding came from the valley guards, who even said that Claire should step down, showing that they have been grudged against Claire and his sister for a long time. The next group was the old and young women and children who were engaged in the purple algae planting and were reluctant to give up their food.
The black-haired boy looked at the female leader standing on the boulder and saw that she could no longer suppress the angry people in the valley. He reached out and took out 20kg of the "black roots" of the smart cabbage from the space, and threw it into the open space under the boulder. The "black roots" quickly spread in the soil, and then grew green cabbages upwards. In front of all the valley representatives, a field of smart cabbages was formed in a few seconds.
The green belt that suddenly appeared in front of them calmed down the valley representatives who had never seen green before! The noisy scene suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at this green plant that they had never seen before with curiosity.
Then, a cabbage growing in the front shook itself, and climbed out of the ground with its roots. It stood proudly in the front of the cabbage field and said to the people in front of it:
"Hello everyone! I am the wise cabbage that Chief Claire just mentioned!"
The survivors in the audience were silent, staring at the mysterious scene in front of them with wide eyes!
The female leader Claire took this opportunity to regain the right to speak and control the whole scene. She asked the cabbage in a serious manner:
"What is 4 plus 4?"
"Equal to 8." The cabbage answered without hesitation.
The people in the audience gasped in shock.
Then, with the secret cooperation of the black-haired boy, the wise cabbages performed speaking, difficult arithmetic, and forward rolls for 400 people. At this time, the people who were cursing in the audience were basically convinced. However, when everything was going in a good direction:
"Wait a minute! Chief Claire, don't change the concept here!" A representative of the guard team objected loudly: "This so-called 'smart cabbage' does have self-awareness and can calculate, so what! Do we have to donate all our food for this, change our lifestyle of decades, and let the purple algae growers and guards guard the cabbage?"
After the guard team member shouted, the people below began to waver.
"This is the only chance to change our fate, do you think..." Before Claire could finish her speech, she was interrupted by a male voice from the audience.
"Claire, you think this is 'an opportunity to change our fate', aren't you too naive! Indeed, this cabbage has wisdom, can do math, and can even dance!" This person, who was obviously from the Guards faction, said sarcastically, looking at the people around him, and the Guards representatives laughed exaggeratedly in unison.
"Mr. Alexander said it well!"
"We support Alexander!"
Someone from the audience shouted loudly in the chaos.
Mr. Alexander paused for a second or two, then made a quiet gesture to the surroundings and continued, "Count, who among us can't do it? Who among us can't dance? And we can shoot, and we can make weapons! Aren't we much smarter than that cabbage? Before the end of the world, we had hundreds of billions of humans with higher IQs than the smart cabbages living on Planet D, but they were still almost wiped out by the D system and mechanical warriors!"
The words of the guard leader Alexander were extremely inflammatory. When everyone present thought of the tragic situation of hundreds of billions of people being slaughtered by machines, they all became pessimistic. That's right, we humans can't defeat the D system and the mechanical warriors, so what's the point of devoting all the power of the base to cultivate these cabbages?
The black-haired boy looked at the one-sided situation and was about to manipulate the black silk in the cabbage field to mutate some delicious food to prove the strength of the cabbage. But Huo Li's voice rang in his mind, "Wait a minute, don't do anything now. There will be a better opportunity in 5 minutes."
So the black-haired boy put away the roots of the cabbage and watched the guard leader Alexander's power-grabbing performance silently.
"So, our leader Claire only let this cabbage do math problems and somersaults and wants us to believe that this cabbage can help us defeat the D system with the support of hundreds of millions of mechanical warriors. Haha! In order to make us hand over all our food reserves, he even lied to this little cabbage without shame." Alexander pointed at the lonely cabbage standing at the front of the vegetable field. "Such a small thing can control the machine? How does it control it? Waving its leaves to make those evil unmanned armed helicopters land? And then the mechanical warriors inside lined up to walk down and face it?"
"Ahahahahahahahaha!" The guards around burst into laughter, making the female leader Claire on the stage look even more like a crazy woman with a broken brain.
Huo Li's voice resounded in the black-haired boy's mind: "Alexander did make a good suggestion."
The black-haired boy stood quietly by and watched the infighting drama in the valley base. He asked in his mind: "How many kilograms of brains do you want?"
Huo Li: "1,500 kilograms of brains, which means more than 3,000 kilograms of filaments."
The black-haired boy: "Okay."
At this time, the female leader Claire standing on the boulder was already exhausted by the repeated shouts of "Claire step down" from the audience. She was trying to say something to stabilize everyone's emotions, but her voice was completely drowned out by the scolding led by the guards.
At this moment: "The suicide squad led by Mr. Claire is back from the oil field!" A guard stumbled in and yelled to everyone: "More than a dozen brothers died, and there are many injured!"
"All guards and anti-mechanical resistance team members go to support immediately!" When the female leader Claire heard the news about her brother, she didn't care about the power struggle on the scene, and shouted to the people in the audience.
"No! If they run back like this, they will surely be chased by mechanical soldiers!" Guard captain Alexander shouted in retort. The survivors who were about to obey orders and rush out of the valley hesitated and stopped. "There are still more than 4,000 people in this valley. We can't let all of them be implicated because of the adventurous behavior of their 300 suicide squads! Attacking the oil field controlled by the D system was originally their own wrong decision. For the sake of everyone's lives, they should lead the mechanical warriors away by themselves! They should be responsible for their mistakes!"
"That's right! We can't let them in!"
"We can't let them lead the mechanical warriors back!"
Even the artisans and growers outside the guard team on the stage were filled with indignation at Alexander's words.
The female leader Claire on the stage was trembling with fear at the captain's voice, which was full of confusion: "Didn't my brother and his suicide squad members pay for the fuel and guns used in the valley base with their lives? If they hadn't stolen and killed nearly 700 of our brothers and sisters in the oil field over the past 10 years, would my brother have made a desperate decision to attack the oil field? You! You..."
But her voice was drowned out by the crowd below the stage again.
"Close all the gates of the valley caves, and don't let them come back!" Alexander shouted loudly, and the crowd below responded! They all ran quickly to the caves they usually guarded.
At this time, Mr. Claire led more than 300 people to run towards the valley base, supporting each other. Some of the seriously injured were even carried on the backs of their teammates. Everyone's physical strength had been overdrawn to the limit!
"Is there a plane following us?" Mr. Claire shouted to the scouts following closely behind him.
"No! Mr. Clare, we have been hiding in the Tara Mountains for three days and have long avoided the reconnaissance planes that are following us. I just carefully observed the surroundings with a telescope and there are no traces of enemy planes." Mr.
Clare finally breathed a sigh of relief and continued to lead the wounded soldiers back. Two minutes later, the vanguard finally arrived at the entrance halfway up the mountain, but what awaited them was a closed gate that was blocked by rocks!
"Open the door!" Mr. Clare shouted, "We will have five minutes to get there. There are no enemy planes following us!"
However, the guards inside the door, who had been bewitched by Alexander and were eager to get in, pressed tightly against the rocks, as if the wounded members of the suicide squad and the mechanical warriors who were chasing them would rush in as soon as the door was opened.
More than 300 exhausted wounded soldiers had already reached the entrance halfway up the mountain, where they were stuck and could not push open the blocked door no matter what they did!
"Open the door!" The wounded soldiers outside shouted anxiously, "No mechanical warriors have discovered us now, but we must enter the valley before the daily patrol drones arrive!"
The anti-mechanical resistance team members and the female leader Claire in the valley were extremely anxious and directly drew their guns to confront the guards, but because they were outnumbered, they were already controlled as much as possible.
To make matters worse, two patrol drones appeared in the northern sky at this time!
"Drones are coming! Let us in!"
"The drone is still far away and can't see us, move faster!"
Alexander, the captain of the guard, who originally only wanted to create panic and seize power, was shocked when he heard that there was really a drone passing by outside the cave: his original intention was to wait until the coup in the valley base was over and all the power was firmly in his hands before letting the remnants of Claire's men in. But now, they can only blame their bad luck! And he can take this opportunity to eliminate the trouble forever!
Alexander thought of this, made up his mind, and shouted to his men: "They really attracted pursuers! The valley base must not be exposed. In order to protect more lives, the door cannot be opened!"
As the two drones flying from the north got closer and closer, the death squad led by Mr. Claire had given up on breaking down the door. They must not expose the entrance to their home at this time, but scattered in all directions, pretending to be in a panic and fleeing in order to divert the attention of the drones!
Just when this group of people were about to die under the sweep of the drones in a few minutes! There
was a loud bang! Gravel splashed at the entrance of the cave! Two slender figures walked out slowly side by side...
