In less than three minutes, the negotiation ended, and Lu Linbei led his two companions back the same way.

"They just want to delay time." Lu Linbei explained why he refused to continue negotiations.

"Are the Jiazi people going to show off their real weapons?" Lu Yezhou asked.

"Probably not. They are probably asking for help from the upper echelons of King Zhai through Professor Mao. The pressure is entirely on Third Uncle and Colonel Pei."

Lu Linbei probably guessed it right, because as soon as he returned to the tank, the on-site commander said to him: "Colonel Pei ordered to test the battle under the condition of remote network interruption, and designated the Lu investigators to select the target, and I will take specific command. "

"Zicheng." Lu Linbei immediately gave the target. He understood Pei Xiaoan's intention. After interrupting the remote network, the team would be free from any outside interference.

"Yes." The on-site commander put on his helmet and issued an order to all tanks.

From now on, this team forms a small information network of its own, able to communicate with each other but isolated from the outside world.

The Earth and the Rules both shoulder the responsibilities of space satellites. After losing contact with them, the tanks on the ground will make all judgments based on existing data and data obtained from real-time reconnaissance by drones, including finding targets and positioning one's own side. and determine the route.

Although there were no enemies, this was a more complex test. Problems occurred with three tanks on the way. Two tanks were quickly back on the road after simple repairs, but the third tank needed major repairs. The on-site commander made a prompt decision and abandoned this tank. tank, the soldiers took the remaining ammunition, boarded other tanks, and continued to their destination.

Lu Yezhou couldn't forget a question and reminded him in a low voice: "We still haven't replenished the ammunition."

The helmets of the three people blocked the voices of others. Lu Yezhou had no need to lower his voice. Lu Linbei said: "Colonel Pei has his own reasons for choosing this style of play."

"The truth is bluffing and taking risks. I bet that the Jiazi people don't know the inside story and don't think about the ammunition problem at all. They think these tanks can keep fighting." Lu Yezhou sighed, "That's okay. Usually others see us taking risks, but today it's the other way around. It’s because when we watch others taking risks, we feel... it’s different, and Colonel Pei himself didn’t go to the battlefield in person.”

Mei Wangzhen said: "The risks taken by Colonel Pei and Third Uncle are no less than ours, and may be even greater. Lao Bei is right. The two of them must be under tremendous pressure from all sides. They disconnected the network and did not return." The replenishment of ammunition for ground-to-air spaceships is probably related to this. What they are betting on is their careers."

Pei Xiao'an, like his third uncle, has never had a smooth career, so he is very courageous to bet on it.

In less than an hour, the team was close to the city and could launch a long-range attack.

The footage captured by the drone ahead shows that the residents of Zicheng did not evacuate or return to their houses to pray. Instead, they stood concentrated on the edge of the city, as if they were ready to protect their homes with their flesh and blood.

The on-site commander ordered the three main attack tanks to fire once each. The warheads flew over the crowd and the entire sub-city, and landed on the other side, trailing a bright light that was particularly dazzling in the night.

Lu Yezhou snorted softly. In his opinion, it was a pity that three warheads were wasted like this. "Others can't see the ammunition reserve, right? Otherwise, wouldn't the morale of the military be messed up?"

"The person commanding the vehicle can see the overall situation. Others can only see the data of the vehicle, but I think they can all guess it." Lu Linbei said.

Lu Yezhou hummed again, not wanting to guess any more.

The nine chariots lined up in a fan shape, with the command vehicle in front, and drove to a stop five hundred meters in front of the crowd in Zicheng.

The residents of Zicheng are all women, old and young, and many hold torch-shaped lamps in their hands. The most indispensable thing in Jiazixing is electricity, but people here generally don’t like to use or waste electricity. The lighting range of the lamps is very small and the radius is Less than two meters.

The on-site commander said to Lu Linbei through his helmet: "It's up to you to decide whether to attack or negotiate. If you attack, it will no longer be a warning. There is not much ammunition left, and it must be used to eliminate the effective forces."

"I'll go negotiate first. If I can't come back, Mei Wangzhen will take over my responsibilities. Anything I say outside won't count. It's all decided by Mei Wangzhen in the car."

"Understood." The on-site commander began to arrange his troops and ordered the infantry to leave the tanks and enter a guard position to protect each other.

Lu Linbei took off his helmet and said to his two companions: "I will negotiate alone. If there is an accident, Sister Zhen will take over. If Sister Zhen has an accident, Ye Zi will take over."

"Okay." They both responded at the same time, and neither one said anything more.

Lu Linbei didn't wear an exoskeleton this time. He left the chariot directly and walked toward the crowd a few hundred meters away.

After he walked a certain distance, someone walked out of the crowd opposite, holding a torch. He was familiar with the ground and walked much more steadily than Lu Linbei.

The two stopped at the same time when they were about two meters apart. Lu Linbei was standing just outside the light.

That was a middle-aged woman, not the eldest sister Lu Linbei had seen on the microcomputer monitor.

"Hello, intruder," the woman said.

"Hello, for those who don't know what to call me, my name is Lu Linbei."

"I've heard your name before, and I also have a name, Wen Jumo."

"Well, I'm here to ask for someone. One is Chen Manchi and the other is Guan Zhuqian."

"You're in the wrong place."

Lu Linbei paused for a moment, "I'm not arguing. Hand the person over, otherwise I will go in and search for him myself."

"You can't get through our human wall."

Lu Linbei looked at the crowd, "I will let the chariot run over, even if the person I am looking for is in the crowd, because I am tired of this game. Tonight, at this moment, there must be an ending."

Wen Jumo looked a little angry, "I know you are disobeying orders. Brother Mao Kongshan told us that the superiors did not like your actions and had ordered them to stop. However, you disconnected the network and refused to accept the orders. There will be a status update soon." Someone higher up will come and give a direct order to retreat, and you must obey."

Lu Linbei looked back and said, "Thank you for the reminder. I won't wait for the order to come and ask the chariot to move forward."

Wen Jumo obviously didn't expect that her words would have such an effect, and her face turned even redder. When she saw Lu Linbei turning around to leave, she took a step forward and said, "Wait a minute."

"Time is of the essence, please give me an answer as soon as possible."

"We don't have the two people you mentioned here, but - we did admit two sisters, which may cause you to misunderstand."

"Call out and let me take a look."

"That won't work. They are in the training period and cannot leave the room. If you must meet - this is against our rules - you can only go into the city. If you don't agree, I have no other choice but to let it go. Let your machines run over us."

The other party was not a real human being, but a group of modified cyborgs. Lu Linbei reminded himself in his mind, and then said: "Okay, in half an hour at most, I will find out the truth."

"No need. Please."

Lu Linbei looked up at the sky and raised his arms to make a few gestures. Mei Wangzhen and Lu Yezhou in the tank would see him through the drone screen and knew that he was going to the city. If he didn't come out in half an hour, Mei Wangzhen would leave. Call the shots.

Wen Jumo turned around and led the way. The crowd automatically separated to make way for a passage. Lu Linbei walked forward intently, turning a blind eye to the hostility shot from both sides like arrows.

The houses in Zicheng are almost the same as those in Jia City. They are all circular and there are no straight streets. New arrivals can easily get lost.

Not far away, Wen Jumo stopped and pointed to a house in front of her, "One of the sisters lives here. You can take a look through the window first. If you can, it's best not to go in."

Lu Linbei took a few steps forward, stood at the window and took a look inside. He quickly turned back and said, "I don't know her."

There was a light in the room, and what he saw was a strange woman sitting on the bed meditating. Lu Linbei had a feeling that the woman was not from Jiazi, but she was definitely not a familiar face to him.

Wen Jumo nodded without any surprise and continued to lead the way. He didn't go far before he stopped and said, "There is another person living here."

Lu Linbei walked to the window and almost didn't recognize him at first sight, but his heart skipped a beat, and then he recognized it. It was Chen Manchi, but his long hair had become short.

He felt an unspeakable anger.

Seeing that he didn't turn around for a long time, Wen Jumo walked over and said, "Do you know this sister?"

"Well, she is Chen Manchi, my fiancée."

Wen Jumo shook his head seriously, "You must have admitted your mistake."

"I may admit myself wrongly, but I will never admit her wrongly." Lu Linbei walked directly to the door without asking for advice, pushed the door open and entered the house.

Wen Jumo hesitated again and again, but did not stop him or follow him in.

Chen Manchi, like another "sister", sat on the bed and meditated. She looked very engaged, with a peaceful face, without any pain or anxiety.

"Slowly." Lu Linbei called softly, waited for a while, and then said: "Slowly, I'll take you home."

The woman on the bed slowly opened her eyes, her expression still calm, but with a little more confusion, "You are..."

"You don't recognize me?"

It was indeed Chen Manchi, but there were some differences. In addition to the short hair, the way he spoke also changed. Although it was not fast, he didn't always hesitate for a second or two like before.

"I don't think I've ever met you. Where did we meet?"

"We met in Zhai Wangxing and made an engagement."

The woman smiled and said, "I know what a marriage contract means. There is no such thing on Jiazi Star. I have never been to Zhai Wang Planet. If you want to ask, I will tell you that I have never left Jiazi Star and was born here. , grows here.”

Lu Linbei stared at her. The more he looked, the more certain he was that this was the person he had worked so hard to find. But something was always wrong. It was like a beautiful doll that had been disassembled and reassembled. Nothing seemed to have changed. , but in the eyes of the owner, it is a bit weird.

"Please don't stare at me like this, and--I don't understand why any Ajoshi brothers entered my room without invitation."

Lu Linbei lowered his gaze, took out a hairband from his pocket, and held it in his hand, "Do you have any impression of this thing?"

The woman looked at it for a while and shook her head, "I never use this kind of thing."

"Are you a native of Jiazi?" Lu Linbei suppressed the excitement and doubts in his heart and began to ask questions using the interrogation method he was good at.

"Yes, I already told you."

"But you can speak our language."

The woman raised her hand and took out the translator from behind her neck, flashed it and put it back again, "It's a credit to it."

"Most Jiazi people never wear translators, but you wore one during your training period?"

"My eldest sister gave it to me not long ago, saying that I might need it. I didn't expect that it would be in this situation."

Lu Linbei couldn't help but stretched out a hand, "How could you not remember me? Are all your memories of the first half of your life still there?"

The woman looked wary and moved closer to the bed, "All the memories I should have are there. You are not in them, and there can be no you in them. You aliens have just arrived, but I have lived here for more than twenty years. "

Wen Jumo stood at the door and said, "It's almost half an hour."

Lu Linbei only had a glimmer of hope left, "Give me a few more minutes, I want to 'pray'."
