At the same time, the black-haired boy glanced coldly at the blonde woman holding the child. Mrs. Alexander always judged the situation. Seeing that her husband was dead, she knew that there was no hope of turning the tables. She immediately stopped crying and hid in the crowd with her two children.
The black-haired boy then retracted his gaze and said to the silent crowd: "I know that many of you, especially the guards and craftsmen, do not agree with the actions of the Anti-Mechanical Alliance. Most of you think that as long as you stay in this safe valley and avoid the reconnaissance planes that patrol every day, you can live a stable life forever.
Many of you superficially obey the leadership of the Claire brothers and sisters, But in fact, they were very dissatisfied with his monthly organization to steal fuel and military equipment from the oil fields to support the construction of the arsenal in the valley base. They thought it was unnecessary, because hundreds of thousands of humans could never defeat hundreds of millions of mechanical warriors.
You even secretly thought that organizing a rebel alliance was a threat to everyone's life and would do no good! Not to resist, not to provoke the machines, and to live a stable life in the valley is your most urgent hope.
Therefore, Alexander's usurpation of power this time can be responded to by everyone! Because resisting the mechanical alliance, that is, the death squad, will bring danger to the base! This idea has long been hidden in the hearts of each of you! Isn't that right? "
The valley residents under the stage lowered their heads in shame when they heard the question from the black-haired boy. Claire and his sister and the members of the Mechanical Resistance Alliance looked at the survivors in disbelief when they heard this! It turned out that they risked their lives to resist the machines, but in the eyes of their relatives and friends, they were a threat to the base!
"So," the black-haired boy continued, "today when Alexander lied that the suicide squad members led the pursuers to the valley base, so many people believed his lie without hesitation! But have you ever thought about why the D system's massacre of humans suddenly slowed down? There are obviously hundreds of millions of mechanical warriors in the world, why doesn't the D system send them all out at once and do their best to kill all humans on the planet in one go?"
The survivors in the audience were horrified when they heard this hypothesis. They all knew subconsciously that the strength of the D system was far more than that. In the massacre that lasted for nearly 30 years 20 years ago, the human population was decreasing at a rate of hundreds of millions every year. Even in the last few years, the number of people who died each year was more than 10% of the total population. But for some reason, after the D system carried out the elimination of humans in the coastal areas and lakes, it suddenly slowed down and withdrew most of the mechanical warriors. Even the patrols of drones became less frequent.
"Maybe it's because the number of humans is too small now?" A survivor in the audience answered hesitantly, "So the D system thinks that our existence does not pose a threat to it? So..."
This also expressed the thoughts of other members of the Valley Base, and everyone nodded in agreement.
"Heh!" The black-haired boy was amused by him, "Do you think that System D feels that 400,000 humans will not pose a threat to it, so it acquiesces to you to survive in the corner of the world? As long as you don't take the initiative to provoke the machines, System D will not take the initiative to attack you. Does it acquiesce to your survival by sending a drone for symbolic reconnaissance every day?"
The survivors in the audience were silent, but their expressions revealed their true thoughts.
The Claire brothers and sisters on the stage only then understood why they had encountered such great resistance when they established the Mechanical Resistance Alliance for so many years! It turned out that most of the survivors in the Valley Base were thinking that it would be best to live in peace with the machines!
"This idea is simply stupid." The black-haired boy said coldly, "You think 400,000 people will not pose a threat to the D system. At that time, the D system was able to kill you without any resistance when there were hundreds of billions of humans in the world! Are 4 million people a threat to it? Are 40 million people a threat to it? As long as the D system is operating normally, even hundreds of millions of people cannot shake it. Don't touch it at all! At that time, System D was not yet carrying out a crazy massacre of humans!
I can tell you, if I were System D, then in my eyes, any living human would be a big worry! If there are no other factors interfering, I will do my best until the last person is killed! "When
the survivors in the audience heard this, they all gasped in fear! This layer of peace fantasy built by ignorance and cowardice was ruthlessly punctured by the black-haired boy. Everyone was shrouded in great fear, and some even began to cry in despair.
The black-haired boy who caused all this looked at everyone in silence, as if giving everyone some time to digest the shock brought by the real situation.
But actually he was busy chatting...
Huo Li's voice echoed in the black-haired boy's mind: "Xiaoyi, isn't your analogy too... ahem, anyway, I have deleted the related memories of 2d14 and 099 for you. Xiaoyi, you are different from the murderous devil like D system!"
The black-haired boy remained silent on his face, and said consciously in his mind: "Well, if it were me, I could kill all 400 billion people on Planet D in three days. How could I spend as much as System D? You haven't figured it out after 50 years?"
Huo Li: "..."
The black-haired boy on the stage looked at the shock and suspicion on Huo Li's face in the crowd, and taunted him with his consciousness: "Okay, put away your hypocritical expression! Everyone knows that it won't take you three days, but only five minutes to kill everyone in the world. Well... well, it's true that no one knows."
Huo Li coughed awkwardly while standing on the stage, and quickly intercepted the signal that 099 and 2d14 were about to transmit back to the Salvation Alliance.
The black-haired young man standing on the stage was finally kind enough to speak again, breaking the silence and the increasingly fearful and desperate atmosphere:
"Why didn't the D system do this? Since it wasn't out of kindness, then there must be some serious problems with its own operation. As a result, it was unable to do so and could not send a large number of troops to completely wipe out humans. However, if we fail to take advantage of this gap to resist effectively, once it relaxes, it will be the time for the complete destruction of Planet D!"
Hearing that the D system would actually have problems, the already desperate people were shocked! They could not help but whisper to each other:
"Will the D system also have problems?"
"Mr. Yi said yes, then it must be!"
"What kind of problems can the D system have? Could it be a virus?"
"How is that possible?"
The black-haired boy just stood quietly on the stage, not commenting on the discussions and speculations below, and then said: "As for what exactly is wrong with the D system itself, Mr. Huo Li will now give you a detailed explanation."
Then the boy waved to Huo Li who was standing in the crowd, and walked around Alexander's already cold body to the stage. When passing by Huo Li:
"Why don't you just finish what you are saying?" Huo Li asked in Xiao Yi's mind with some confusion.
The black-haired boy answered with his spiritual consciousness: "How do I know what's wrong with the D system? I'm not the one who can control machines and read minds! Go ahead and explain it clearly on the stage. I can listen along."
Huo Li: “!!!” You dare to give a long speech without knowing anything!
Huo Li walked quickly to the stage and looked at the black-haired boy standing below the stage, listening attentively with a look of curiosity. Huo Li took a deep breath and said aloud:
“The reason why the D system has reduced its troop dispatches since 20 years ago is actually very simple - the oil and minerals on Planet D have been almost exhausted. After killing humans to a controllable range, the D system had to reduce its energy expenditure, reduce troop dispatches, and instead focus on the research of renewable energy. However, due to the lack of water and wind resources on Planet D, the D system can only use its remaining strength to invest in the construction of nuclear power plants, and then... In 5 to 10 months, all the nuclear power plants on Planet D will be completed. If the smart cabbage has not grown all over the world by then, Planet D will be completely destroyed!
Therefore, the top priority now is to do our utmost to ensure the healthy growth of the smart cabbage! However, this speed is still too slow!
Therefore, three days later, Mr. Yi and I will lead the residents of the valley base selected by us to attack the oil field together! "
There was an uproar from the audience!
At this time, the black-haired boy returned to the stage: "Then, now it will be up to me to decide the final candidates for the mission. Don't worry, this attack mission is voluntary." The boy looked at the survivors who suddenly became nervous and thought that everyone was going to attack, and added with some sarcasm.
"I'm willing to join!"
"I'm willing too!"
The members of the Mechanical Resistance Alliance heard the disdain in the boy's tone and rushed to express their attitudes.
Xiao Yi nodded to them with satisfaction, expressing his affirmation of this heroic behavior. He glanced at the survivors who hurriedly lowered their heads for fear of being called by "Mr. Yi", and then said:
"I will select the mission personnel this time. Mr. Claire, are you willing to participate in this attack?"
"I am willing!" Mr. Claire answered loudly.
"You, you, you, you, and you" The black-haired boy casually pointed to the five members of the Death Squad following Mr. Claire, "Are you willing?" "Yes!"
"
Yes!"
The five members also answered hurriedly.
The whole audience held their breath again waiting for the boy's roll call!
Black-haired boy: "Okay, the personnel for this time have been confirmed. There will be three people participating: me, Mr. Huo, and Mr. Claire. The attack will start in three days. Let's adjourn!"
Then Huo and Yi left the people in the valley who were still immersed in shock, and walked down the platform one after another.
Even the female leader Claire suspected that she had just heard it wrong. She turned to look at her brother and asked in confusion: "Mr. Yi just selected only 6 people. Are you 8 going to attack the oil field guarded by thousands of mechanical warriors in 3 days?"
Mr. Claire: "Maybe the two saviors don't know much about the guarding conditions of the oil field. I'll go and confirm it again." After saying that, he hurriedly chased Huo and Yi away. But when he finally caught up with the two people at the entrance of the cave and tried to describe the dangerous situation of the oil field to them while walking, Huo Li turned around, patted Mr. Claire on the shoulder and said:
"Our plan this time is to take a helicopter with the two robots, Zuoyi and Zuoer, a total of 10 people, disguised as daily patrol drones, and fly directly to the oil field. No matter how many people there are, there is no room. There is no point in worrying too much. The main task of the Valley Base at this stage should still be to protect the cabbage..."
After listening to Huo Li successfully bluffing Claire with his endless "cabbage supremacy theory", Xiaoyi turned aside and whispered to the system:
"2d14, help me buy 10,000 cubic meters of system space."
System 2d14 felt distressed: "Host! That will cost 20 million points!"
The black-haired boy: "As an SS-level system worth 8.8 billion, can you be more generous!"
System 2d14 was ashamed: "Okay, host, I'll buy it now! Um, the system mall prompts that a one-time purchase of 100,000 cubic meters of space can give 20,000 cubic meters for free! How about we buy some more?"
The black-haired boy: "Buy it, buy 100,000!" From now on, I can carry a 120,000-ton brain with me to travel through various worlds, and I don't have to worry about my IQ going offline anymore! The black-haired boy was very happy~
System 2d14: "Ding! Purchase successful! Spent 200 million points, your balance is 8.66626 billion."
Mr. Claire, who was standing by, also agreed to this perfect battle plan under Huo Li's brainwashing.
Three days later, the 20 tons of purple algae provided by the Valley Base had grown into 350 tons of intelligent cabbage under photosynthesis. Xiaoyi left 50 tons to continue growing, and then directly collected 300 tons into the space.
Afterwards, the two of them boarded the armed helicopter with five members of the Death Squad who looked ready to die, two mechanical warriors, and Mr. Claire, and flew towards the oil field with a mechanical warrior driving them.
Mr. Claire, who was already in the cabin at this time, always felt that something was wrong and finally realized: this "perfect plan" only wisely formulated a strategy for how 8 people should go to the oil field, but did not mention how to kill those thousands of mechanical warriors... Even if they temporarily planted intelligent cabbage, they could not control so many! And last time, the intelligent cabbage was within 200 meters of the drone, but this time the oil field they attacked covered an area of more than 500 square kilometers!
At the same time, Huo Li and Xiao Yi were also chatting with their spiritual consciousness in the cabin.
Black-haired boy: "How large an area can you control with 150 tons of black silk?"
Huo Li: "The diameter is 5 kilometers. Are you going to control the rest of the black silk..."
The black-haired boy was eager to try: "Such a great battle, of course I have to participate in person!"
Huo Li was a little worried that the boy would get out of control, and quickly began to advise: "The entire oil field is full of D system spies. If your mutated little alien is detected by it, and then someone deliberately spreads this news to the Interstellar Alliance... Little alien, you know I can't control the D system now. I am enough for this operation. I will protect you!"
Black-haired boy : "...Did I say I would use the Aliens to fight them?"
Huo Li: "But what else can you use if not Black Silk and the Aliens? Even if you transform Black Silk into a group of lions to bite the mechanical warriors to death, it doesn't make sense. How are you going to explain those animals that appeared out of thin air? Little Alien, be obedient."
The black-haired boy: "Actually... I have developed a new form of superpower."
Huo Li's curiosity was aroused: "What is it?"
The boy felt the gaze that fell on the back of his head, like a real inquiring gaze, turned his head to look at Huo Li who was sitting behind him, smiled and spit out two words:
"Keep it secret."
Huo Li: "..."
The black-haired boy added with his mind: "You take them to attack the oil depot to attract the attention of the mechanical warriors, and I will go to the oil well alone."
So the 400-kilometer journey passed in the anxiety of the survivors. Now, from the front window of the plane, large oil pumps can be seen on the Gobi Beach. Huo Li then turned to everyone and began to arrange today's attack plan:
"In a moment, once the helicopter lands at the airport north of the oil field, several repair robots will come up for maintenance, and we will be exposed at this moment! Mr. Yi has his own special mission to complete, and I will lead everyone to the oil depot southeast of the oil field.
All you have to do is shoot at all the mechanical warriors rushing towards you! At the same time, don't accidentally injure those robots that suddenly turn around and have been controlled by the intelligent cabbage, do you understand?"
"Understood!" the six people replied with firm expressions.
The black-haired boy looked at these survivors who served as shields for him. Each of them acted as if they were determined to die together with the machines. He quickly added:
"Your ultimate mission today is to save your own lives. Do you understand? You must be careful and don't rush to die!"
However, the survivors including Claire took these words as an encouragement to live and face death! Fenfen held back her tears and promised loudly:
"We will save our lives and kill a few more mechanical warriors!"
"Don't worry! Mr. Yi! We dare-to-die members won't die so easily!"
"Even if we only have our last breath left, we must persist until the mission is completed!"
The black-haired boy looked at the people in the cabin who were full of enthusiasm:
"???"
I told them not to work too hard when they were acting as a cover, just to wander around and attract the attention of the machines, what happened to them?
The plane has arrived over the airport, and everyone is holding their breath waiting for the fuselage to slowly land. As the distance gets closer, the survivors can see groups of mechanical warriors walking out of drones in the airport, and there are dozens of repair robots interspersed in the huge airport!
As soon as the plane touched the ground, the black-haired boy jumped out of the fuselage first, and quickly took out the 150-ton "black roots of intelligent cabbage" from the space!
Then a large mass of black silk fell from the sky, and landed in the airport with a "bang", even crushing two helicopters and a dozen mechanical warriors, and then quickly split into small groups and jumped into the land, growing small intelligent cabbages. At this time, Huo Li could finally use his mental power legitimately!
From the moment the black-haired boy jumped out of the cabin, dozens of robots around him found something wrong, and immediately issued an alarm of human invasion to the entire oil field, and surrounded the helicopter with guns! Bullets rained down like raindrops. The survivors, determined to die, pulled the bolts of their guns and prepared to fight back bravely!
Suddenly, the gunfire stopped! The suicide squad members looked at the enemy they were about to fight desperately, turned around in unison, and ran towards the oil depot in the southeast direction in a neat team! The six people, whose adrenaline was soaring, still had a trace of clarity in their minds. They remembered Huo Li's instructions and barely stopped their hands that were about to pull the trigger!
"Everyone did a great job!" Huo Li shouted to the stunned people, "The landing mission was successfully completed! Now everyone follow me to attack the oil depot!"
In fact, the six survivors who did nothing but stare blankly for a while, holding their guns in a daze, followed the group of mechanical warriors and trotted towards the oil depot...
Not long after, they gradually ran away from the control area of Smart Cabbage, and our mechanical warriors in front and the enemy mechanical warriors in the oil field met on a narrow road, and started a fierce exchange of fire! Huo Li ordered the survivors behind him: "Everyone pay attention! Don't waste bullets! Wait until the enemy rushes to within 500 meters before shooting!"
The suicide squad looked at the battlefield 2 kilometers away, resignedly holding their guns and continued to run forward at the end of the team!
20 minutes later, the survivors who still hadn't fired a single shot asked: Are we here for long-distance running today?...
And the black-haired boy at the airport smiled as he watched the group of people finally disappear from his sight, and used his supernatural power trick that he had thought of for three days to justify himself...
