Chapter 655: The Last Gift of the Wasteland
Link was stunned for a moment, why is he still in space and someone "calls" him, is this going to say a final goodbye?
Link suddenly realized that it was everyone's deep love for him, and many farewell words were inconvenient to say in person, and could only be expressed through phone calls.
The mood was in place, and he turned on the sound bug with joy, and John eagerly asked: "Link, have you seen the macaw and the silver hand? These two guys are gone!"
Link was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I'm afraid there is something else going on when these two are mixed together. If you arrange for someone to search carefully, they should be able to find their whereabouts."
John said his guess in a serious tone: "I suspect that these two people sneaked on the transport ship, and should be on the mechanical fortress now. The two people have not appeared since last night, and on the day of the finals, Silverhand has also been in contact with the macaw quietly. He must have overheard a conversation on the podium."
"Okay, then I will immediately order a thorough investigation! After the investigation is clear, they will be sent back together." Link said earnestly.
"That's not necessary. The farewell ceremony has ended. Now everyone in the wasteland knows that you have started an expedition. You have not left your home and come back, bad luck."
Link was a little surprised: "When did you start believing these things! Haven't you always been an atheist?"
"You still have to believe these lottery heads. What's more, what do you do when you throw them back? Without your suppression, I would still worry about throwing them back. There is only one Ivan in the wasteland, and it is enough for me to suppress them alone, there is no need to keep two Legend. You will encounter all kinds of dangers when you open up outside, and it’s good to have multiple capable people to help you.”
Link looked surprised. He didn't expect John to say such a thing. He couldn't help saying: "I didn't expect these words to come out of your mouth. It's really outrageous, and the character is about to collapse..."
John also said angrily: "Fuck you!"
After the scolding, his tone became calm again: "Remember to remind Silver Hand that the universe environment is changing, but I'm not worried about safety, just let him pay attention to his work and rest." After John finished speaking, he felt that it didn't fit his personality, and quickly added : "Of course, these are what Martha asked me to convey. Well, nothing more, hang up!"
John felt that he would be exposed if he continued, and hurriedly hung up the phone.
Link laughed, trying to hide the old father's concern for just these two times, and it was all exposed!
Hanging up the phone, the corners of Link's mouth twitched slightly.
To be honest, without seeing the macaw and the silver hand this morning, Link had already guessed it.
With such a big thing, can these two hold their breath?
Even when Link and Ivan discussed in the final that day, he had noticed the abnormality of Silver Hand from the corner of his eyes. At that time, I guessed that this guy would definitely lose his temper and discuss with the macaw.
Although I didn't call them two on the surface, releasing the news on the side was also an "invitation" in itself.
It's just that because of Martha, Link can't say it directly.
Think about it, with Martha's love and concern for Silver Hand, how nervous it would be to know that Silver Hand was going to follow Link to space. Nine times out of ten, he would not agree, and John would still be caught in the middle and not be a human being.
So the Macaw and the Silver Hand would be stowaways, Link had expected. After all, they both have previous convictions. When he was in the countryside, he disguised himself as a soldier and infiltrated the cavalry battalion. With the speed of a macaw and the legendary status of the Silver Hand, it was not difficult to sneak into the transport ship.
"Troy, help me find out where these two treasures are now?"
Troy's data consciousness dissipated, and soon the pale green digital signal spread to the entire mechanical fortress like ripples in water.
About ten seconds later, Troy's data entity appeared in front of Link: "Führer, it was found that the two are now in the transport warehouse. With the transport machine, they are transferred to the warehouse in Area A of the Mechanical Fortress."
Link laughed, his eyes widened in disbelief.
He thought that the two of them would sneak in in various high-end ways, but he never expected that the two of them would use the most low-level way-mixed in the goods and transported in.
High-end infiltration: With the speed and restraint of the secret, you can hide from the guards and surveillance cameras, and enter the most core secret place of the mechanical fortress all the way.
Real infiltration: Pretend to hide in the cargo compartment and feel sweaty, damp and crowded inside the closed cargo box.
Through the infrared lens, Link saw the two people tossing and turning in the small cargo box.
As Link's right-hand man, the infiltration of the two of them was too incompetent, which disappointed Link and felt that his face was shameless.
Just expect them to perform earth-shattering missions in the future?
Link glanced at it, a little angry: "Since they like the cargo box so much, let them stay for a while."
Helen found the navigation data of the transport ship, and naturally found the coordinates of the transition gate of the desolate star system. After transferring it to the operation terminal of the mechanical fortress, the system automatically estimated the voyage, and the result was obtained after a few minutes.
"The head of state, it will take a week to go to the transition gate of the desolate star system and advance at full speed with the mechanical fortress. Are you going now?"
Link thought for a moment and said, "These data are all the data from the voyage when the escort came 1,500 years ago. This time we are leaving the star system where the waste Saturn is located. Naturally, we have a special method. During the voyage, you and Troy It can be noted that when passing through the outermost orbit of the large star, you can use the slingshot effect to eject, so not to mention saving fuel, you can also get an additional acceleration. If there is no accident, we can reach the transition gate in three days. "
Helen's eyes were already bubbling, admiring the omniscient head of state.
"Okay, don't look at it, it's time to leave now." Link flicked Helen's fair forehead lightly, causing the girl to quickly recover.
"As the captain of the mechanical fortress, you can't be careless!"
Helen nodded again and again, straightened her body and saluted: "Yes!"
After getting Helen and Troy, the expeditionary force was also transferred from the transport ship to the mechanical fortress.
The player's house has been allocated before, so he returns to his room with ease. Purney led special staff to help settle the major forces and help them solve the "settlement" matters.
Seeing that everyone was busy, Link got up and went to the room where Ah Fu was.
At this moment, Ah Fu has been refreshed. Seeing that Link got up immediately, he excitedly said: "Führer, I'm ready to report."
Link closed the door casually, sat on the sofa and said, "Okay, let's start reporting on this mission experience now!"
Ah Fu unloaded the reinforced backpack, went in and touched it for a while, then took out a metal ball, with a bright smile on his face: "Führer, this is the heavy weapon of the dynasty, Pharaoh Tumon and I have gone through hardships and finally from the night of the law. Found this thing deep in the burrows of the southern Gobi."
Link looked at the golden, round and full metal ball. The arc of the metal ball is fascinating, as if it was formed by thousands of polishing and polishing of advanced civilization. Although the whole heavy tool exudes a metallic color, it does not reflect any pictures, and it looks quite strange, as if it does not react with any substances here.
Link glanced at it and knew what it was.
In order to fight alien planets, the First Order created many similar "creatures" and delegated them to lower civilizations to fight alien invaders.
It is not so much an artifact, but a kind of intelligent "creature". The reason why this "creature" has to be put in quotation marks is that this thing is somewhat similar to mimetic metal, both of which are metal substances, but have a certain "life" activity.
The way of life of mimetic metal, it just looks like life.
But the metal sphere in front of him was different. It was something between a dead thing and a life, a half-life body, or a life-like body.
"How on earth did you find this thing?" Link asked in amazement. To know that this thing is a half-life body, it has its own consciousness and activities, and there is no news of an artifact in the wasteland. Link is curious about what is going on. It was a coincidence that A Fu and Pharaoh Tumon could find the artifact.
Afu scratched his head and smiled shyly: "Actually, we didn't find it ourselves, but what Arya told us."
Link was shocked, his eyes widened and he asked in a suspicious tone, "Alia, the songstress of the wasteland?"
Ah Fu Chicken nodded as if pecking at rice.
Link didn't know what to say for a while. This made Ah Fu go out, and two extremely difficult tasks were completed so easily?
"Then tell me first, how did you find the wasteland singer Arya."
A'Fu swallowed his saliva: "It's a long story. Let's start with our choice to arrive in the Gobi Desert in the south of Longcheng. According to legend, this is where the last wasteland singer Alia disappeared. Feeling that after walking for several days in the southern Gobi, I finally met the first active human being, that is, Jirou who took the spaceship. He was one of the people who witnessed the miracle of the singer at that time, and was favored by the singer. , recovered from a emaciated and dying man.
After Arya disappeared, Giroud firmly believed that Arya would still appear, so he stayed in the Gobi until he met me and Pharaoh Tumon. Pharaoh Tumon found traces of the power of faith from Jirou, so we followed this trace all the way to the south to the sea, and saw the phantom of the wasteland songstress Alia in the mirage at sea. "
A Fu's description and expression are very simple, but Link can hear difficulties and obstacles.
Just two people walking aimlessly in the Gobi Desert for several days is not something ordinary people can do.
The second is going to sea from the south, facing the deep sea and strong winds and rain without any reference, and finally being able to meet Arya in the mirage.
Ah Fu, worthy of being a God-given person, with profound blessings.
"You didn't see Arya herself, only the phantom in the mirage?"
"Yes, I just saw the wasteland singer in the mirage, but she was able to talk to us, and only then did we know the whereabouts of the dynasty's heavy weapon."
"Then have you chatted with her and learned something about her life experience from the conversation?" Link asked urgently. In the previous life, the player also wanted to unravel the mystery of the wasteland singer Arya, but they tried every means and did not get any useful information. So players have to use it as an NPC that regularly distributes benefits.
But now, Ah Fu is very likely to know the truth behind Arya, which makes Link inexplicably excited.
But Ah Fu poured cold water on Link.
A'Fu shook his head and said, "No. Arya seems to be able to read people's hearts, as if she knew in advance what I was going to ask, so after repeating the question I was thinking, she didn't give me a chance to ask questions at all, only I said two things. The first thing is that I sent you a message, saying, 'The fate of the wasteland depends on your thoughts.' Let me give you a gift, and this gift is a dynasty weapon."
Knowing the ins and outs of the matter, instead of dispelling Link's confusion, he was filled with doubts.
Why does Arya know everything, and say that "the fate of the wasteland depends on your thoughts", does this sentence have other meanings? He is elusive, but he knows everything about the wasteland. From the current point of view, it is not like an NPC that will only give out benefits on a regular basis. There must be a bigger plot and story behind it.
"Okay, I see, you've worked hard for this time." Link patted Ah Fu on the shoulder. If it wasn't for Ah Fu this trip, he would not have been able to find Arya and would not have gotten the dynasty weapon.
Afu smiled and shook his head quickly: "It's not hard, it's not hard, it's not hard for you to do things for the boss at all. Oh, by the way, there is one more thing I need to tell you, that is this Jirou by my side, Alia is here Let him follow me after seeing him. Of course I haven't agreed yet, now it's up to the boss."
"Since it was designated by Arya, then you should stay by your side."
Link turned his head to look at the heavy weapon of the dynasty on the side, and then slowly held it in his hand, the corner of his mouth slightly raised: "I didn't expect to receive such a gift when I left the wasteland immediately."
The metal ball in his hand slowly turned, and ripples appeared in circles, spreading from the top of the sphere.
The state of the metal ball changed, as if a pair of invisible hands were kneading and sculpting a piece of soft clay.
After a while, the appearance of the metal ball changed dramatically, turning into a strange creature that was suspended and extended with a pair of wings.
Dynasty Heavy Equipment, a kind of intelligent AI program that the escort team has assembled with the technology of the whole Vatican galaxy.
It is also an extremely powerful weapon in itself, which can reduce the dimension of low-level civilization and play a role in blocking the development of low-level civilization. It can also help lower civilizations develop rapidly and analyze weaknesses.
That's why Link calls it "life".
Although it is an intelligent AI program, its emotional richness and personalization are no different from normal life.
"What should I call you?"
