When Li Qingqing and other three entered the hall, they were attracted by the patterns on the wall at the first moment. The strange beauty made them look at it a few more times. However, after staring at it, the beauty of the wall disappeared, and a sense of weirdness came over them. These patterns could actually move! Alive?
The four people's pupils shrank, they dared not look anymore.
They cast their eyes on the only figure in the hall. The other party seemed not to care about their arrival. He was holding a ball of white fluffy things in his hand and was playing with it carelessly. When he heard their footsteps, he slowly raised his head and revealed his smooth and white face.
The dark eyes were full of indifference, he was watching them quietly.
It was the young man they had seen before, especially the three captains who were caught later. They were very impressed by this face. Thinking of the young man's transcendent status, the king of alien monsters ma? Regardless of what they thought in their hearts, the four people all looked solemn.
Su Yu was thinking about how to start, he kneaded the white ball unconsciously. When he thought it through, he put the white ball back to his shoulder.
There was a language barrier, he could not communicate. Su Yu did not forget this. He turned his head to look at Huan Meng. This action came suddenly, the latter had no time to restrain her expression, so she stared at the white ball with anger, she was seen like this without any defense.
Huan Meng's expression was stiff, after a few moments, it softened and became a well-behaved little cutie again.
Naturally ignoring the previous scene, Su Yu got to the point: "Ask them about the location of the research base." These days, he has been dealing with the affairs of City B and has no time to find inhibitors, but it does not mean that he has forgotten. Now that the affairs of City B have come to an end, it is time to put inhibitors on the agenda.
Huan Meng passed this question to the four people.
Li Qingqing and the other four tried their best to control their facial expressions, so as not to show the horror in their hearts. Research base? Is this the purpose of the alien monsters? Why do they ask here? What do they want to do? A series of questions popped up from the bottom of their hearts, but were quickly suppressed.
Knowing that the little girl's ability could spy on people's thoughts, the four controlled their own thoughts and did not think about any related questions. There are inhibitors that the survivors crave in the research base. It is a matter of great importance. They must not let these aliens know the location. God knows what these aliens want to do!
"We don't know." One of the captains shook his head.
Seeing the blank expressions of the four people, Su Yu knew that they refused to cooperate. He sighed slightly in his heart, but this time he was not prepared to let Huan Meng confuse their thinking like last time and get an answer.
Although this method is indeed quick and convenient, it won't work. They can't always do this.
Whether it is Su Yu's own will or the 'Save Civilization' mission requirements of this game, it is obvious that he and the survivors of this civilization have never been opposites.
"We have no ill will towards survivors." Su Yu said.
Huanmeng turned out the same meaning and passed it into the minds of the four people. Li Qingqing and others did not change their expressions, without excitement, doubt or joy.
Su Yu was not surprised. After all, how could such a simple sentence make people let down their guard? He paused for a moment, thought carefully, and had a clear idea.
After many years of doomsday, the survivors fled everywhere to struggle for survival, and they were worried every moment. Their spirits were like a taut line, this line would only become tighter and tighter until the moment it broke. The survivors could not listen to the euphemistic explanations and gestures.
Therefore, Su Yu decided to tell part of the truth.
"We are life from outside civilization." Su Yu.
[Hey hey hey? Is it really okay to say it like this ma? Does the Interstellar Tournament official allow it?]
[It didn't say it was allowed, but it didn't say it was against the rules. Didn't the previous rules say that contestants were free to play and do whatever they wanted, as long as their behavior was to save this civilization.]
[This sentence gave me the feeling that it didn't seem like they were here to save civilization a. Would they really believe it ma?]
The audience in the live broadcast room talked a lot.
In the map, the four people who heard the news were shocked. They thought that it was the plot of the movie Alien Crisis that the team members had been talking about these days? Invasion of the planet? ? ?
"You survivors, are useless to our race, those things you call zombie mutants are what our race needs." Su Yu walked slowly towards the four people and said slowly: "So, our goals are actually the same, then why can't we choose to cooperate ne?"
Huan Meng conveyed the information truthfully.
The amount of information in Su Yu's words was too much, which exceeded the four people's cognition, making them confused. Do believe it or not? These alien monsters are indeed not like the life of their civilization. If they are mutants, why didn't they appear before? This is credible... As for the same goal and request for cooperation... Li Qingqing four people couldn't help but turn their heads to look at their companions.
They were all undecided.
The four people were tangled in their hearts. Su Yu stood in the distance, without urging, and quietly waited for an answer.
After a long time, someone finally spoke up. It was the only female captain, Li Qingqing. She asked cautiously, "How can I guarantee the truth of your words?" Not interested in their survivors, only zombies and mutant beasts? It would be great if it was true, but is it really that good ma?
Su Yu's eyes swept over her, his tone was full of the indifference of a superior: "Whether you believe it or not, is up to you."
[Ah, this, this... Really, saying that Su Yu is here to invade this civilization, I believe.]
[How can this continue like this a? I don't understand Su Yu. Since you want to cooperate with the survivors of the civilization, you shouldn't use this kind of deterrent gesture a! How can you win the trust of the survivors of the civilization? !]
[What civilization is in front? Your civilization must have smoothly passed the evolutionary frenzy ba, or are you an old civilization? It's been a long way since the evolutionary frenzy, so you can say it so easily.]
Because of Su Yu's behavior, the audience in the live broadcast room started arguing.
Morever there is a reason why Su Yu showed this attitude. His current identity is the leader of a race outside this civilization. What position does he have to help survivors?
Unprovoked goodwill will only make the survivors more defensive and constantly speculate on his true purpose. After all, there is a saying that those who are attentive without any reason are either treacherous or thieves. On the contrary, this kind of indifferent and arrogant attitude is easier to win people's trust.
Sure enough, Su Yu's attitude shocked Li Qingqing four people, the balance in their hearts also tilted towards Su Yu. Such a powerful race, is it necessary to deceive them ma?
"This... King? We would like to give you an answer immediately." Another captain also spoke cautiously: "But, the matter of cooperation is not something we can decide."
The cold sight fell lightly on him. The captain who spoke felt pressured and his throat began to dry. Thinking of his purpose, he gritted his teeth and continued: "We need to pass this matter back and discuss it with our companions before we can reply to you." The meaning of the words was both obscure and obvious. They wanted to leave City B.
The hall fell into silence, Su Yu was thinking.
Just when the four captains were feeling depressed and hopeless, the young man in the hall finally gave an answer and nodded slightly: "Okay."
They didn't understand the meaning, but they understood the nodding action. Their tense moods relaxed and they took a deep breath. Only then did they realize that they had been holding their breath for a long time while waiting.
Just at this moment, footsteps suddenly came from outside the hall. After a while, the owner of the voice entered the hall. Liuguang passed by everything around him and came directly to Su Yu. He bowed and saluted, and reported: "King, a group of survivors came from outside City B."
"All of them have been caught." Liu Guang asked: "How do you think we should deal with?"
In silence, Su Yu looked at Li Qingqing four people, then at Huan Meng.
Huan Meng understood and sent the message directly to the four people.
'A group of survivors have been caught. They may be your companions. Do you want to go and see ma?'
The four finally understood what happened, their expressions were frozen. After so many days, the base had not sent anyone, as a result, they had just received the approval to leave... the people from the base came, which was fine, but why were they all caught a... What should they do a? !
Just as Li Qingqing four people were racking their brains to think of a solution, the young man in the hall spoke again.
"These people, just consider them as my sincerity." The main reason was that there were too many people, and he no longer had enough food supply. Otherwise, Su Yu would have wanted to take them hostages, after all, he was now the leader of alien life, not a philanthropist.
The members of the four base teams, escorted (send under escort)[1] by the Zerg, came to the outermost perimeter of City B. As soon as they came, they saw the dark group of figures in the distance, as well as the terrifying bugs around them.
'I'll just send you here la, bye o.' Huan Meng waved her hand.
After receiving Huan Meng's order, all the Zergs around began to retreat, then turned around and left, as if the survivors did not exist, they returned to their respective positions. The survivors in the distance suddenly regained their freedom. They were still confused until they met up with Li Qingqing and others and exchanged information. Then they knew what happened.
"The king of aliens? He said he would help us survivors, there is such a good thing?"
"He didn't say he would help us. What the alien leader meant was that he wanted zombies and mutant beasts, our goal as survivors was the same, so he cooperated with us."
"In that case, he has no need to cooperate with us. Those aliens are very powerful. It seems that they have other purposes. It's unbelievable! Did you give the location of the research base ma?"
On the way back to the base, the survivors kept discussing this matter.
Everyone was skeptical, constantly denying this matter, and constantly looking for reasons to doubt. But in fact, their behavior has indirectly shown their thoughts.
The survivors were eager, eager for this to be true, but at the same time, they were afraid, afraid that this was a deception and they would face a greater disaster.
"For the stability of the base, this matter cannot be spread out. Wait until we get to the base, let the higher-ups decide." Li Qingqing looked around, the only ones who knew about this were the team leaders.
