Chapter 113 Narrating the Cage (10)
“Mom, I’m scared.”
“Be good, it’ll be fine, don’t cry.”
On the LCD screen, the refugees are talking to each other Comfort and encourage, pray for a miracle to happen.
Li Sheng turned his head and glanced at Hui Yu in surprise, not to mention how much empathy and compassion she had as a prisoner in the narrative cage (probably a non-human being),
These refugees are most likely just false images generated by the protagonist's effect room.
Hui Yu guessed what Li Sheng was thinking and explained: "Issac mentioned that he once tried to rescue a ship of refugees from the Zelo civilization. In the early stages of its development, this civilization used sublight speed navigation technology to conduct interstellar travel. Colonization, due to the shortage of population in the colony, used a large number of robot labor. As a result, some robots developed self-awareness and demanded citizenship rights.
At this time, a civil war broke out in the home planet of the Zero civilization, and the nuclear war resulted in the death of a large number of people. The robot city-state located in the distant colony built a warship and returned to the home planet to help the government forces suppress the rebellion. Therefore, the Zero civilization decided to grant citizenship to robots.
This tattoo is used to distinguish machine citizens from native humans. . ”
Hui Yu pointed his finger at the LCD screen. Some refugees had a pattern of concentric circles and nested triangles printed on the backs of their hands, while others did not.
"In order to maintain his personality, Isaac often talks to himself in a single cell, talking about some memories that he can still remember."
Hui Yu said in a deep voice: "He did not explain the matter clearly. The cause has passed, but the result is the only one. None of these refugees from the Zero civilization survived, and they all died of a severe airtight cabin leak. "
Robots do not need to breathe oxygen, they can die in the airtight cabin. The leak proved that the hull itself was severely damaged, throwing the people inside into a vacuum.
In other words, time is running out.
Li Sheng turned to look at the bridge. At this time, the crew had already started their first space jump.
"The field guide is collecting Y-rays, and the current progress is 100%."
"The reactor is running at full power, and the space matrix is opening."
"The space matrix has been opened, and inertial control is activated! Stagnation The field maintains the space-time velocity of the entire ship!”
The trapezoidal nozzle below the Blood Eagle emitted a light blue ripple, forming a dark vortex with a diameter of about 500 meters in front of the ship.
The battleship advanced at full speed and rushed into the vortex. The dazzling light of a star illuminated the entire ship. Everyone was kneaded and stretched like ramen noodles.
It seemed like a moment had passed, and it seemed that hundreds of years had passed, when the Blood Eagle suddenly appeared 1.5 million kilometers away, which was five light seconds away.
It is only a few kilometers away from an enemy pirate ship.
Thousands of meters in space, there is no difference between face to face. Before the enemy warship could react, the Blood Eagle, which had already adjusted the direction of its gun muzzle, opened fire brazenly, and the sixteen heavy cannons on the starboard side fired simultaneously. Shoot out a high-energy particle beam and hit the enemy ship.
Boom!
The imitation sound system on the bridge of the Blood Eagle simulates the explosion sound effects of enemy ships in a vacuum.
"All of them," the adjutant with rabbit ears shouted loudly: "Prepare for the second space jump! The field guide counts down two minutes and ten seconds!"
Can't wait any longer, Isaac's Memory Here, the Blood Eagle will be severely damaged, and the bridge may not be safe.
"I'll press the button and cover me."
Li Sheng said to Hui Yu in a deep voice, clenching his fists and releasing the Kirigakure technique.
Sha——
With him as the center, the thick fog surged and spread to all sides, immediately filling the entire corridor and dispersing to the direction of the bridge.
“What happened?”
“Where did the fog come from?!”
“Is the gas pipeline leaking?”
The crew of the Blood Eagle was completely Not knowing what happened, some people thought it was a leak of high-temperature toxic gas and fled in panic. Soon they discovered that the fog had no temperature.
Li Sheng followed the bridge terrain outlined in his memory, fired the bat grapple gun, bypassed the obstacles in the way, and went straight to the control console.
The soldiers at the bridge felt a strong wind blowing and subconsciously wanted to stop him, but they all failed.
This [Protagonist Effect Room] has a similar effect to the [Misleading Room]. The difference is that the latter fabricates memories and creates illusions out of thin air. The former extracts existing memories from Isaac's mind, creates an illusion, and traps him here.
The reaction of everyone on the Blood Eagle was not their real reaction, but the reaction that these people should have made in Isaac's memory
Sui——
Suddenly, a strong wind came, and the hair on Li Sheng's body stood up instinctively. He hurriedly twisted his body, pulled out a 170 straight knife from the void with the palm of his right hand, and slashed somewhere to the side with the knife.
Zheng!
The sparks produced by the collision of metals flashed and extinguished in the mist.
Li Sheng felt his arms were sore and numb. He didn't care about drawing the knife to dodge. He replaced the grapple gun in his left hand with a nuclear lighter and sprayed a pillar of blazing fire forward.
The blazing flames briefly dispersed the dense fog, and I saw Isaac standing in front of Li Sheng like a rock, with blue fire burning in the skull's eye sockets, and his left hand made of black metal lightly caught the rusty sword.
He took off the cloak from his shoulder with his right hand, rotated it to catch all the fire pillars, then thrust it out suddenly, and grabbed Li Sheng's wrist through the layers of cloak.
As a metal skeleton, Isaac could hardly be said to be afraid of flames. He hugged the fire pillar to a large extent to protect the crew. However, Li Sheng has not yet left the category of carbon-based organisms, and he will inevitably be burned if he is covered by the high-temperature cloak.
He turned off the nuclear lighter, popped out the mantis bone blade from his left arm, punched forward, and cut Isaac's chest and abdomen with the bone blade.
Tearing——
The military uniform was torn apart with a sound, exposing the metal skeleton inside, as well as the fine and complex cables buried in the gaps between the bones.
The bone blade cut several sections of cables, sparks of electricity burst out instantly, and Isaac's right hand was also crooked, unable to grasp the opponent's wrist.
Opportunity.
There was no fluctuation in Li Sheng's eyes. His multi-line brain was desperately calculating all the factors, including the distance between the two parties, height difference, joint size, and floor bearing capacity
Finally, they came together into a plan.
He took a half step forward with his right leg, tilted his upper body towards the left and back first, and then twisted forward. While twisting, the retracted left fist is also swung forward. Since the effective mass of the torso is much greater than that of the arm, it can exert greater power in this low-gravity environment.
The edge of the fist hit Isaac's jaw directly, and violently spun at the moment of contact, further increasing the force.
If this punch hits a person, let alone an unreinforced ordinary person, even Leonardo, who is level 8 and has undergone a lot of transformations in the last scenario mission, will be blasted. The lower jaw flew away, leaving only the upper half of the teeth.
However, it is not known what material Isaac was made of in the form of a skeleton. He just tilted his head, and there were no fractures.
Squeak——
The palm of his left hand holding the machete quickly pushed forward, and the palm of his hand scraped violently with the blade of the machete. Sparks and lightning were all the way, and he grabbed Li Sheng's right arm, and Turn to the left. He was about to break his arm. Li Sheng immediately stepped on the ground. The magnetic boots on his feet were originally fakes made by Huiyu and had no actual function. After he left the ground, he was in a low-gravity environment and his body easily levitated and rotated, removing Isaac. power.
The cooling time of the bat hook gun is three seconds. At this time, the cooling time is completed. Li Sheng, who is suspended in the air, releases the handle of the rusty sword, shoots the hook towards the ground, and rushes towards the red button again.
As the captain, Isaac knew very well that there was no such person as Li Sheng on his ship. He threw away the machete and did not rush forward to stop the opponent - he obviously could not run as fast as the grapple gun.
Instead, he drew an ornate ceremonial sword from the right side of his waist and slashed diagonally with the sword.
Modern navies of various countries in the real world are also equipped with a ceremonial sword, which is often used in sword ceremony and has no practical function.
Isaac's ceremonial sword was obviously not an ordinary sword. The green flowing sword cut through the air, constantly deformed and stretched in the air, and was thrown towards the opponent's body like a long whip.
Li Sheng's bone armguard sprayed out a torrent of death curse, forcibly changing its trajectory. He avoided the whip by a hair's breadth, but he also stayed away from the red button.
“Increase the power of the bridge ventilation fan!”
The Rabbit Ears Adjutant’s stern voice could be heard vaguely in the thick fog. As the ventilation fan rotated desperately, the originally thick fog inevitably became thinner.
“Outsider? How did you get in?!”
The Rabbit-Ear Adjutant gritted his teeth and fixed his eyes firmly on Li Sheng, who stood up slowly. While reaching for the gun at his waist, he shouted to the surrounding guards: "Hold it."
The word "him" is It was solidified in the throat of the rabbit-eared adjutant. At some point, Huiyu took advantage of the thick fog to reach behind the adjutant and strangled her neck. The metal in his left hand liquefied, deformed, and solidified, turning into a slender point. The needle hung on the side of the rabbit-eared adjutant's temple.
"Everyone, please don't move!"
Ignoring the struggle of Lieutenant Rabbit Ears, Hui Yu firmly fixed her in place and shouted sternly, "Otherwise I will kill her!"< br>
It seems that the adjutant has a very high prestige on the ship. The guards on the bridge holding long guns and short cannons were at a loss and looked at Captain Isaac.
"."
The metal skull was silent for a moment. At this time, the Blood Eagle battleship had just completed its first space jump, and the second jump was still being charged.
A large number of enemy pirate ships fired torpedoes and missiles like crazy. Most were blocked by the bursting and shattering hulls or energy shields.
"Hyperspace jump engine, currently charged at 31%."
"Hyperspace jump engine, currently charged at 33%."
The mechanical sound of the battleship's AI echoed in the bridge, and through the floor-to-ceiling windows, one could clearly see the flames of serial explosions outside that looked like the end of the world.
“I clearly remember the name and appearance of the 7,829 crew members on the ship. As well as the more than 1,300 people I picked up from the Zero home planet and Proxima A. Refugees."
Isaac spoke slowly, his voice was hoarse and rough, "Who are you?"
Proximity A?
Li Sheng's eyelids twitched. This word had appeared several times. The first time was in a vending machine newspaper. The article was about collective food poisoning among students in a local public school.
The second time was the newspaper obtained in the misinformation room. The article contained an article about a group of unidentified terrorists detonating a nuclear bomb in the city center.
He stood up, shook his sore and numb arms, and simply put away the Mist Hidden Technique, "Is Proxima A part of the Zero Civilization?"
"Otherwise?"< br>
Issac tilted his head and said calmly: "You haven't answered my question yet."
"It doesn't matter who we are, what matters is, as a pirate, why do you do this?" So kind to rescue a group of refugees.”
Li Sheng slowly took out something from the void with his palm and said: "As long as you answer my question, I will not use this thing to destroy this ship."
The thing he took out was in There was a commotion on the bridge.
It was a pistol, in the style of futuristic science fiction, dark green in color, with a triangular barrel covered with scratches, and a broken glass sphere installed on the side of the gun body.
The crew members were stunned, "Isn't that the captain's?"
"Death redemption?!"
This pistol was so famous that everyone recognized it and instinctively looked to the left side of Isaac's belt.
There is also a pistol of the same style there, almost identical in all places. The difference is that its glass sphere (the so-called stable superheavy element particle container) is not broken.
Li Sheng did not try to convince Isaac, telling him that this place was actually an illusion created by the [Protagonist Effect Room].
There are two reasons. First, according to Hui Yu, Isaac has been missing for three months and has been in the [Protagonist Effect Room] for who knows how many years. He is more brainwashed than he is. But it's much more serious.
The second is to take out the gun and make Isaac himself doubt whether this place is real, which is much more effective.
Sure enough, after seeing the other [Death-Death Salvation], Isaac, who had always been calm and serious, couldn't help but be shaken. The blue flames in his eyes shook slightly, "What's going on with this gun? If I didn't remember, If you're wrong, Star Sea Forger Baladin only made a gun."
"Haha, you don't know that, right?"
Li Sheng smiled slightly, "Baladin still has it. There is a younger brother named Balazhen, who is also a forger, but he is not well-known. The two brothers once studied forging technology together, but they separated because their mother remarried. Together they are [Yiyan thimble, identified as: Mom’s province]. .
He also made a [Death Redemption] and gave it to me. The difference is that my gun is a male and yours is a female.”
? ? ?
All the crew members were confused, thinking that in their interstellar era, "Journey to the West" had not been popular, otherwise someone would have stood up and complained, "There are male and female divisions, do you think this is a purple gold gourd with gold and silver horns? Come on!" Please apologize to Teacher Six."
Only Huiyu in the audience guessed that Li Sheng wanted to use two [Death-Bearing Redemptions] to stir up Isaac's memories and make him think that this place was actually an illusion. intention.
Unfortunately, Isaac remained silent for a moment and said: "The reason why I rescued the refugees from the Zero Civilization is very simple. They were my former compatriots."
As the master of dying redemption, Isaac clearly knew every data of this gun. Even if the glass sphere of the gun in Li Sheng's hand was broken, he could still fire the last shot.
The sealed environment of the bridge was enough to cause a devastating blow to the Blood Eagle, so he could only cooperate with the other party. "For some reason, I left there and became an interstellar pirate.< br>
When I received news from them, I learned that the Zero Civilization was about to lose the Iron Plague War. These people on the ship were the last group of civilization fires that I could save. "
"Iron plague war? "
Li Sheng caught the key word, squinted his eyes and asked: "What is that. ”
