Chapter 346 Blockbuster Plot
The rain kept falling.
The torrential rain poured down, covering the entire land in rain and mist. Under the ruins of the viaduct, Optimus Prime quietly poked his head out and looked around.
"It seems there are no pursuers."
"Better not!"
Megatron said viciously, while moving his hands, a gun was assembled from its arm, and then disassembled again, as if to vent his anger.
To be honest, for them, neither one would want to be with the other if possible. But things are different now.
"According to the information I got, there should be only one low-level civilization on this planet that hasn't even broken through the gravity well! Damn it, what's going on?"
Megatron was puzzled. Of course it knew that the previous attack on him and others was an orbital attack, and orbital attacks were signs of a mature interstellar civilization. However, the intelligence he had obtained clearly showed that there was only one ruined human civilization and A low-level mechanical civilization has not even left this planet, so how could it possibly have such means.
"But no matter what, we must get the source of fire."
Optimus Prime looked at Megatron, a gleam flashing in his blue eyes.
"The source of fire must not fall into the hands of others!"
"I know!"
Hearing Optimus Prime's words, Megatron glared at him angrily. In fact, Megatron originally wanted to abandon Optimus Prime and run away alone, but after thinking about it, the planet was extremely weird and strange at the moment. There was an orbital air strike, but he couldn't bear to have the source of fire so close, so in the end Megatron agreed to temporarily join forces with Optimus Prime - in this way, even if he encountered any danger, he would have someone who could block the gun, right?
Megatron had just called his subordinates, but there was no response. It can be said that the entire army was wiped out. He is now a bare commander, and Optimus Prime looks similar, so now is not the time for a civil war. The only way is to get the source of fire first, and then... and then!
Of course, Optimus Prime also knew that Megatron had bad intentions, but he knew Megatron better and knew that this guy's character was greedy for life and afraid of death. In this situation, Megatron would definitely let himself be the shield and bait. , but conversely, this also means that he will not attack himself before getting the source of fire.
Of course, Optimus Prime is not a gentleman. If the source of fire is close at hand, then it is time for him to attack Megatron - presumably the other party also thinks so.
Thus, a fragile and secretive alliance was formed.
"How far away!"
"It's not too far! Come with me!"
After saying this, Megatron walked out from under the remains of the viaduct. Seeing its figure, Optimus Prime also frowned, followed closely behind him, and galloped away into the distance.
However, neither of them noticed that shortly after they left, a small drone slowly rose quietly from the wreckage not far away. It stared at Optimus Prime and Megatron as they walked away. Behind them, the bright red camera kept flashing, and a moment later, the drone also randomly flew in their direction.
And all of this was seen by Duanmu Huai.
"Tsk tsk tsk, it turns out that being a villain is more comfortable..."
As he spoke, Duanmuhuai changed his position on the chair. No wonder the boss in so many Hollywood treasure-hunting and tomb-robbing blockbusters likes to wait and see. How comfortable this is. The protagonist is going through life and death, drinking muddy water and struggling to survive, while sitting in the back he can happily drink ice Coke, eat potato chips and catch turtles in an urn blocking the exit. This is really a good life that even gods will not change.
That's right, just having fun is not hedonism, enjoying yourself while watching others suffer is called hedonic enjoyment.
Just like now, Duanmu Huai is watching the two hateful intelligences running around in the ruins and mud like drowned dogs. There are several Skynet drones staring at them from behind. He is holding Ojis on his shoulders. There are also Kula and Bambi crawling around - tut tut, tut tut, look, who is living a comfortable life, you can tell at a glance.
At present, the planet has become a mess - these two hateful intelligences from aliens are trying to find some kind of sacred object, while Skynet has been beaten to the point of autism and now has turned itself into a shrunken turtle. Dare to send drones for external reconnaissance, and even the connections with other sub-bases were cut off.
On the other hand, the Resistance Army is not much better. Their headquarters was completely destroyed by this group of people who hate intelligence. Fortunately, Skynet itself is also autistic now, otherwise the Resistance Army will probably be finished. Fortunately, Skynet has no time to take care of them at the moment, and the resistance forces are also looking for a new location to use as their base.
Duanmuhuai, on the other hand, was holding the little girl, drinking Coca-Cola, eating potato chips and watching blockbusters...well, comfortable.
By the way, for the sake of safety, Duanmuhuai brought several destroyers and reconnaissance ships to seal off the planet to prevent any more hateful intelligence from Cybertron from causing trouble on the planet—— Well, when things here are settled, he will blow up Cybertron to avoid future troubles.
At this moment, everyone else went to do their own thing, and only a few people stayed here to watch the live broadcast with Duanmu Huai.
But some people are full of doubts about this.
"Mr. Judge."
Lumière looked at Duanmuhuai with some hesitation.
"We destroyed the time machine's database. Is that really good?"
"Of course."
Duanmuhuai scanned Lumielle and immediately understood what she was thinking.
"I can guess what you are thinking, but don't do such stupid things. Anyone who tries to control time will in turn be controlled by time. When you proudly create a time machine and think you can change the past , you have fallen into the trap of time. In the end, you will get nothing, and you will always be greeted by ruined nothingness and despair.”
That is to say, Skynet is an artificial retard and cannot have emotions, otherwise it should have understood this long ago - trying to change the past does not mean that you can control the future, and everything you do is an inescapable part of the big web of time. , just like a fish, the more you struggle, the tighter the net becomes. In the end, you are left desperate and exhausted, waiting for the final doom.
"The past is fixed, the present is fluid, and the future is blank. Just knowing these is enough." This is Duanmu Huai's attitude towards time. He will not think about changing the past, let alone peek into the future. Both the past and the future are unchangeable in Duanmuhuai's view - or in other words, as long as you don't know that you can change, you won't change.
Just like that old joke - the Demon King learned from the prophecy that the Hero will destroy himself, so he sent troops to destroy the Hero, but in the end he created the Hero to destroy himself - the perfect closure of time, the overlapping self prophecy.
And there's...frustration.
That's right, if the Demon King doesn't know the future, then to him, the brave man is just one of the many living beings who come to challenge him, so the victory or defeat can only be known after fighting.
But if the Demon King knows the future, then he subconsciously believes that the Hero will definitely destroy himself, so when the Hero stands in front of him, the Demon King will naturally feel fear and unimaginable despair and frustration. After all, he already knew the future and sent people to try to change the future. As a result, the future still appeared in front of him in this form. Doesn't that mean that everything he did was meaningless in the face of time?
So the Demon King's morale instantly dropped to -50.
So you see, predicting the future is not a good thing.
Therefore, Duanmu Huai also stayed away from the two powers of changing the past and predicting the future. He was too lazy to fall into the despair and emptiness of being unable to struggle. For Duanmu Huai, the reality in front of him was everything. Whether you have done it or not, you will know after the beating. What is the fixed past and predicted future? As long as I don’t know it, then the future does not exist!
You know, even the treacherous and cunning can't see through the future, so he has to get himself a two-headed monster to help him.
It can be seen that in the face of time, even the Chaos Evil God cannot move freely.
So any idiot who tries to control time will eventually be played by time, without exception.
"That's right, Lumière."
At this moment, Eclair also patted Lumière on the shoulder.
"The judge is right. We don't need to care about the future or the past at all. We just need to live in the present! Besides, even if we go back to the past, if we can't change the past, isn't that even more of a failure?"
"But... isn't this a kind of cowardice?"
Lumière still seemed unable to agree, while Duanmu Huai shrugged his shoulders.
"Escape is shameful but useful. There is no perfect person, and there is no perfect God. There will always be a fate that cannot be changed. At that time, just turn around... Of course, you have to go to a bloody head. I won't stop you, and only you can decide what your fate will be. But... the Tribunal will not sign a formal contract with you."
If I don't beat you to death as a heretic, Duanmu Huai is showing mercy.
"………………I understand."
Hearing Duanmuhuai's answer, Lumière was silent for a moment, then answered, and then she looked at Duanmuhuai with a bit of surprise.
To be honest, Lumier didn't have a deep impression of Duanmuhuai, but judging from his appearance and previous experience, in Lumier's impression, Duanmuhuai seemed to be more similar to his partner Eclair, both of whom were The type who can use his hands but not his brain. And he has a hot temper and is reckless. So when Lumière thought that escaping was just a sign of cowardice, she was even prepared for Duanmu Huai to be furious with her.
But what Lumière didn't expect was that instead of getting angry at her, Duanmu Huai admitted it very readily. I have to say that this really made Lumiere look at Duanmu Huai with admiration. After all, if it were Eclair, even if she thought she was wrong, she would be so stubborn that she would reluctantly apologize to herself in the end.
This also caused Lumiere's impression of Duanmu Huai to change. Obviously, this man who looked rough, wild, and scary was not as innocent as he seemed on the surface. Not only is he thoughtful, he even has enough boundaries and sense of proportion. You must know that even Lumière was momentarily excited when he learned that Skynet could really create a time machine.
After all, she and Eclair had experienced a terrible past. If they could change everything... and start over... such a temptation would be irresistible to Lumière.
But now it seems that I really thought it was simple.
How can the power of time be changed by oneself?
Thinking of this, Lumière glanced at Duanmu Huai again, and then looked away. In fact, she was also curious before about why a fierce and scary-looking man like Duanmu Huai would have such beautiful girls surrounding him. Now Lumière finally discovered that besides being fierce, this man also had some ...strangely attractive.
"What's wrong? Lumière?"
Seeing his partner stunned, Eclair asked curiously, while Lumière was stunned for a moment and shook her head.
"Nothing, I'm very sorry to disturb you."
"Oh, it's okay."
Duanmuhuai waved his hand, and at this moment, Bambi, who was lying on his shoulder, reached out and pointed to the screen excitedly.
"Family! Familiar! Look! They ran into a cave. Have they found a place?"
"Oh? Let me see..."
Duanmuhuai turned on the radar again and scanned the place. The results show that there is indeed a large cavity under the mountain, which seems to be some kind of research facility... and there seems to be some kind of barrier at the bottom that cannot pass through the scan... Well, it should probably be here.
"Okay."
After confirming the destination, Duanmu Huai also stood up.
"It's time for us to play the part of the oriole!"
