Chapter 6
"Did I hear you right?" Fang Rui picked out his ears, then picked his nails, as if he had ejected some invisible blockage, and then continued, "This translucent mass is like jelly. A thing, can it still be a person?"
Li Xuan seconded: "No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like it."
Ye Xiu suddenly realized: "Oh, I know which time this is."
When Zhou Zekai looked at him sideways, the people around him immediately cheered up—the timelines of these two big hacks with TARDIS are very chaotic, and they must have known the details of this operation through some channels later.
Then they saw Ye Xiu raised his index finger and waved it: "But I can't say."
"Hey—" the crowd booed again and again.
But even if Ye Xiu didn't say anything, there were people present who could sense the meaning of Zhou Zekai's words.
"He's from Earth, but he's not a human being?" Zhang Xinjie put it bluntly.
Zhou Zekai nodded and began to choose words.He is not suitable for long speeches, but he still wants to try his best to explain at this moment: "The earth... is very special. There is one kind of other, and there are three kinds of earth, which are different."
Some people were still thinking about it, but Zhou Zekai heard Ye Xiu next to him speak again: "Xiao Zhou said that the earth is very special, because there is basically only one type of intelligent life that reproduces on other planets, that is, there is only one race of humans on a planet. Create civilization. You know, intelligent life has evolved in the universe, and there are all kinds of forms, such as molluscs, arthropods, reptiles, etc. But on the earth, there are three kinds of intelligent life, not only can they coexist in the end, but also three It is not an exaggeration to say that this is a miracle in the universe. Therefore, the earth has attracted many alien civilizations to spy on.”
Seeing that Ye Xiu completely understood what he meant, Zhou Zekai couldn't help nodding his head again and again, his eyes sparkling, and he immediately got Ye Xiu to rub his hair.
"The first type is of course human beings, the largest ethnic group on Earth. The other two are the reptile-like lizard people (Note 1), and the mollusk-like sea people. (Note 2)" Ye Xiu continued to popularize science, " These two races also have splendid civilizations, and some aspects of technology are even ahead of humans. You will have more contact in the future. And it is precisely because of the integration of three parties of technology that the earth began to move towards the stars. And this time, it is humans The beginning of formal diplomatic relations with the Haitians?"
Tang Rou asked, "There are two more? Why haven't there been any clues for so many years?"
"Why not?" Ye Xiu smiled, "Our ancestors have long recorded mermaids, and there are also legends of mermaids in the West."
"Eh?" Fang Rui's eyes lit up, "There really are mermaids? Isn't it a legend?"
"I've joined Glory for so many years, don't you know that you should never ignore any legends?" Ye Xiu raised his eyebrows, "What's more, there are similar legends not only in the east, but also in the west. It can't be a coincidence. But the people in the sea I know They don’t look like this, and they are also very friendly, so why did these few suddenly launch an attack?”
Zhou Zekai didn't want to understand the reason why the people on the seabed launched the attack, but he had seen people in this form before: "Oxygen content..."
"Xiao Zhou, are you saying that if the oxygen level is too low, Haitians will become like... jelly?" Ye Xiu recalled that the concentration of carbon dioxide in the underground sea was extremely high.That's because the world's desert regions, like oceans and forests, absorb and store carbon dioxide emitted by human activities.The snowmelt water from the surrounding mountains carried a large amount of carbon dioxide and gradually seeped into the ground, eventually forming such an underground sea.Combined with the fact that the region is heavily planted with cotton fields, the subterranean sea is also highly salinized.
Zhou Zekai nodded.
"It is precisely to know the reason for their attack that we ask you for help." Zhang Xinjie leaned over, clicked on the phone screen, and switched to the next video, "They did talk, but we couldn't understand it. "
Zhou Zekai understood that all known languages in the universe can be automatically converted in TARDIS, as long as he is near it, no matter where the other party comes from, what he hears in his ears will be the language he is most familiar with.And even if the TARDIS is now parked elsewhere, they who carry the TARDIS key are equivalent to the TARDIS external router.
The new video is still tragic, but this time, in addition to the screams, the hoarse Chinese is also transmitted through the small loudspeaker of the mobile phone——
"...food...food...get out...let us out..."
This kind of voice and content makes people shiver uncontrollably.
"Xiao Zhou, do you have any ideas?" Zhou Zekai shook his head at Ye Xiu's question, so he could only shrug his shoulders and say, "Okay, it seems that we can only attack head-on. Has the operator been confirmed this time?"
"The opponent is very vicious, so besides us, there are Yang Cong and Tian Sen, plus a hundred commandos—they are already on their way to Tarim. It would be great if there were submarines, but in that place, we cannot It will be transported in time." Li Xuan replied.
"No, this team's configuration is not good." Ye Xiu directly vetoed, "The movement in the water is hindered, and the commandos can't show their strength, so it's better not to have them. Although they have attack power, they are hand-to-hand combat, and their lethality is limited. Just as long as we can make sure they can't break through our defenses. Just drive the TARDIS over there, with the shields."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that they were willing to send out the TARDIS. Seeing that it was decided, Zhang Xinjie said again: "Senior Ye Xiu, even if Lord Grim returns it to you, we still have to participate in the meeting."
"Good old Ye," Fang Rui slapped his thigh when he realized it, "I want to get Lord Grim back and run away! Fortunately, there is a heart sitting here, tsk tsk."
Ye Xiu didn't hesitate: "Hey, Xinjie, I have nothing against you, right? Why do you want to expose me so cruelly?"
Zhang Xinjie raised his eyes: "Every meeting will waste my time."
"I really hold grudges." Ye Xiu said, but there was no sense of complaint in his tone.
Just as he was talking, the car stopped.As soon as Zhou Zekai got out of the car, he looked up and saw a huge signboard with red letters - Xingxin Internet Cafe.He followed these people in and looked around.This Internet cafe is large in scale, and it is also different from ordinary small Internet cafes. It is dirty and messy. Not to mention the decoration, it even divides smoking areas and non-smoking areas. Looking at the stairs on the side, there are at least two floors.
"Where's your lady boss?" Ye Xiu handed the ID card to the network administrator.
"Going to catch up on sleep. Which area do you want? Upstairs and downstairs?"
"It's all right, but you need a private room."
"How can you sit in a private room with so many people?"
"Just squeeze."
"But there are not enough machines."
"It's okay, we'll take turns."
"Want to eat?"
"A bucket of stewed chicken noodles with mushrooms, a bucket of braised beef noodles, a bucket of Laotan sauerkraut noodles, and two ham sausages."
The network administrator handed Ye Xiu a card and ID: "The first room on the left on the third floor. If you don't want to climb the stairs, take the elevator."
"Thank you." Ye Xiu took it, and saw Zhou Zekai looking around as soon as he turned around, and couldn't help but smile, "Before, you drove the Tadis and parked in directly. This seems to be the first time you entered through the main entrance, right?"
Zhou Zekai nodded—he really didn't expect that the store of the Hangzhou branch of Honor would be an Internet cafe.
Everyone got into the elevator together, Ye Xiu inserted the card, and there were three more floor options, but instead of going up, they went down slowly.Zhou Zekai watched the floor prompt change from B1 to B2, but the elevator still didn't stop, and the B2 at the prompt disappeared and became blank.Zhou Zekai counted twenty silently in his heart, and then the elevator stopped, and when it opened again, it was an empty room with only one door.Zhou Zekai knew that this must be another identity check, and his face was still calm.After passing the retinal and fingerprint tests, the door opened, and Zhou Zekai entered the Hangzhou branch of Honor for the second time.
It may be that the number of floors is different, and it is different from the people coming and going last time. What Zhou Zekai saw this time was a cold and lifeless corridor with countless doors on both sides. Only at the beginning of the corridor was a large log more than two meters high. box.Zhou Zekai knew that Ye Xiu's Tardis Lord Grim must be in there.Next to the box is an office compartment, from which a girl with ponytail stood up and greeted with a smile: "Are you here? I have everything ready, 3-1." She held a card between her fingers.
"Guoguo," Tang Rou took it with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work."
Chen Guoxiu flicked her arm: "I'm not tired, just a few things. Be careful in this mission!"
Zhou Zekai glanced at her badge - Chen Guo.
"Don't worry, lady boss." Ye Xiu patted his chest and assured, "I'm here."
Chen Guo glanced at him unhappily: "I'm only worried because of you, okay? When did you not take everyone to the most dangerous place, and when did you save yourself?" After speaking, she saw Zhou Zekai, and rushed to him Said, "Consultant Zhou, take good care of him, don't let him go again."
Zhou Zekai coughed lightly—it seems that their relationship is well known.
"It's like I'm a husky when I let go of something." Ye Xiu retorted, "It's obvious that I protect him, how many times has it happened, hasn't it, Xiao Zhou?"
"Huh?" Zhou Zekai asked with an ambiguous smile, "Is there?"
Ye Xiu gritted his teeth: "If you blocked so many shots for you, you won't admit it? Let's settle it after the matter is over."
Zhou Zekai only squinted his eyes and smiled.
While they were talking, the others had already taken out the things Chen Guo had prepared.Zhou Zekai just glanced at it and figured it out—it was a teleportation device, and it seemed to be to avoid further casualties.
"Open the box," Zhang Xinjie handed out the bracelets to everyone, "We should go." Before the words finished, a phone call came in. Zhang Xinjie looked at the notification of the incoming call, and looked up at Li Xuan suspiciously. Connected, "Hello? Um... yes... now? No, you want to apply... um, okay, come here."
Han Wenqing clasped the bracelet-shaped transmission device on his hand, and asked without raising his head, "What's wrong?"
"Another team member has been added and will be here soon."
"Who?" Han Wenqing frowned—usually he wouldn't add people in temporarily.
Zhang Xinjie didn't need to answer, because the door opened again, and the person who called him just now had already entered, and then everyone heard Li Xuan shout in surprise: "A Ce? Why are you here? Didn't you ask for leave and go back to your hometown?"
"I heard about this operation, and I was worried, so I applied for a joint operation." Wu Yuce explained and greeted everyone.
Chen Guo glanced at the registration form, wondering: "But we don't have enough teleportation bracelets."
"It's okay." Wu Yuce waved his hand, "I don't need it."
"Xiao Wu, use mine!" Ye Xiu took off the bracelet from his hand.
"Then Deputy Wu, come to me to sign." Chen Guo greeted.
Zhou Zekai frowned, but he couldn't stop Ye Xiu, so he could only untie his own.He is a time lord, even if there is a chance, he has a chance to be reborn.But Ye Xiu is an out-and-out human being with only one life.Seeing this, Ye Xiu quickly pressed Zhou Zekai's hand: "Wear it, wear it, what are you doing?"
Zhou Zekai still wanted to insist, but Wu Yuce had already walked to their side.Zhou Zekai was startled, and looked at the man bent over to sign, his nostrils fluttered, he sized him up carefully, then frowned, but he still didn't say a word.
"Huh? Is Consultant Zhou okay?" After signing, Wu Yuce raised his head, met Zhou Zekai's gaze, and asked.
Zhou Zekai shook his head hastily.
Interrupted by such an interruption, Zhou Zekai wanted to give the ring to Ye Xiu, but the other party had already entered the TARDIS.He hurried over, opened the door, and saw Ye Xiu busy on the bridge.For some reason, he couldn't move for a while.
amazing.
In the past, when he was on vacation, he would always enjoy time alone quietly, open the door of the Tardis, read a book by himself, drink tea, and look at different scenery, but never blend in.After all, he comes from a distant star, and every move he makes may have a huge impact on the development of time and space.And changing history is undoubtedly a big taboo for the Time Lord.Coupled with his personality, even if he walked out of the TARDIS, Zhou Zekai would not have too many contacts with others, let alone deep friendship.
All this time, he has been in front of the audience, as if he is in a background painting.
But in the afternoon of the Qin Dynasty, Ye Xiu broke into this background, and forcefully pulled him out of it.That was also the first time, Zhou Zekai felt that it wasn't so bad to blend into the environment once in a while.
It was precisely because of this that he parked the TARDIS, took the bought tickets, and sat in the auditorium to watch the opening ceremony, instead of parking the TARDIS in mid-air without anyone noticing.It is precisely because of this that this afternoon, he parked the TARDIS at the Xiaoshan Gymnasium, took a bus, and went to such a far place to drink coffee.
Seems like being a consultant...isn't that bad?
The corners of Zhou Zekai's mouth raised unconsciously, and then he lifted his footsteps and walked towards the busy figure on the bridge.
Humans are indeed an interesting race.
