The case Macklin was handling was only circulated within the intelligence agency, and only a few people in the upper echelons knew about it. Therefore, when he told the director about it, most of the people present were baffled. The situation was urgent, so the director took the lead to deal with the matter after thinking for a few seconds. Then, everyone present fell into deep thought.
Macklin also said at this time, "At that time, I saw the video. Although I saw the things inside, more than half of the video had been burned. These things were also replayed after being restored, so the image was very blurry and incomplete. At that time, I thought it was just an illusion and not a real robot. Since then, the intelligence agency has been tracking the whereabouts of the terrorists. Also, the famous reporter, Tang Weisen, seems to have defected to the enemy. Anyway, we didn't pay too much attention to this matter, but now that I heard you mention the robot …"
The general was silent for a moment before he said, "About this group of terrorists, the information I received from the military is … no information. Yes, we didn't see any information about this group of terrorists, whether it's their origin, number, weapons, or purpose. Originally, I was a little angry with the intelligence agency and planned to appeal to the president after this incident, but according to what you said, I think the origin of this group of terrorists must be very complicated."
At this time, everything was in a fog. From the New York International Airport bombing at the beginning, to the mystery of the terrorists, to the mysterious disappearance of the video tape, to the death toll at the airport that did not match the scale of the explosion, and this time on the battlefield in Washington, to the amazing robot … All of this made everyone present feel the adjectives of conspiracy and mystery.
"But speaking of the famous reporter, Tang Weisen, who has defected to the enemy …"
At this time, a voice came from the side. Everyone looked over and saw a middle-aged man. His hair was neatly combed, and his face was solemn. He wore an evening gown and looked like a Western gentleman. When they saw him, many people around him showed a cautious look because this was a big shot in the United States. He was one of the members of the House of Lords and a very famous figure in the American political scene, Balt.
Balt did not seem to notice the restraint of the crowd. He said directly, "I have some sources. It is said that the famous reporter, Tang Weisen, reappeared the next day after being kidnapped by the terrorists. He began to privately visit some well-known people in society and well-informed people. In fact, many people can see here. It is said that he told these people an incredible and funny story. I don't know what the story is, but the person who told me claimed that it was the wild imagination of a crazy mental patient and that he was probably hypnotized or brainwashed."
Everyone shook their heads slightly. They did not think much of it. After all, no matter how incredible the story was, could it be more incredible than the robot they saw with their own eyes?
The discussion did not yield any results. Everyone chatted for a while and then left one after another. Malcolm went to the food counter to get some food. No matter what, he was very hungry now. When he was half full, he suddenly saw a wall in the hall slowly rising. A group of people walked out from there, and not only that … Behind this group of people, a pure metal robot about five to six meters tall walked in from outside. Every time it stepped on the ground, Malcolm felt as if the entire hall trembled.
At this moment, Malcolm was biting a piece of bread when he saw the robot. The bread in his mouth fell to the ground, but he did not notice it at all. He just stared at the robot with his mouth wide open. It was five to six meters tall and about four meters wide. Its terrifying size and weight made everyone in front of it avoid it. They could only watch this group of people walk to the front of the stage while the giant robot stood quietly behind them.
"Hello, everyone. My name is Chu Hao, and I am also the mastermind of this kidnapping. I am also the person in charge of the New York International Airport bombing. Of course, to some of you ladies and gentlemen, I am also the person in charge of the Washington terrorist attack."
The person in front of the group of people standing in front of the stage was a young man. He smiled gently and continued to speak into the microphone, "This time, we have invited you ladies and gentlemen here not to extort money, nor for political purposes, nor are we crazy murderers. Our purpose is only to save the world. “
As he said this, the hundred over people below the stage walked back to their seats one after another. Chu Hao did not plan to convince everyone with just a few words. Hence, he continued to speak with a smile, "Of course, first of all, please listen to a short story that I'm going to tell you …"
After that, Chu Hao repeated what he said to the reporter, Tang Weisen. When he was done, the hundred over people below the stage started to talk among themselves. However, it was obvious that most of the people present had a look of disbelief on their faces … Even the robot standing behind him had the same expression on its face.
At this time, a young woman in the audience suddenly raised her hand. Chu Hao stretched out his hand and pointed forward, "This lady … If I remember correctly, you are reporter Mary, right?"
Mary nodded. She stood up and looked around, then looked at Chu Hao and said, "Yes, Mr. Chu Hao, I am indeed a reporter. In fact, I heard this story from Thompson four or five days ago. Although I have to admit that this story is very thrilling, it doesn't prevent me from thinking about the loopholes in it. Unfortunately, although I am a reporter, I also graduated from university. I also know some common knowledge in physics, such as the space-time debate and so on. In fact, I don't believe that space-time travel is possible. Well, even if space-time travel is possible, the level of science involved is too high. If you are really from the future, just the robot behind you is too low in technology. A piece of metal without any high-tech weapons … I believe that even with our current level of science, we should be able to create it."
"So, I might be able to make a reasonable guess … You're just a group of people with a certain purpose, or you're full of crazy fantasies. Of course, there might be a force supporting you from behind, or there might be an unrecognized genius who created a robot through his own research, just like the big metal block behind you. Of course, it's more likely that the metal block is fake, and there's probably a driver inside, or it's just a model with an iron surface, right?"
Chu Hao listened to the woman's words with a smile. When she sat down, Chu Hao nodded at Ares. Then, under everyone's gaze, the metal robot collapsed abruptly and turned into a pile of iron sand behind Chu Hao's group. Chu Hao nodded at Ares again, and Ares once again used the metal giant to summon the pile of iron sand.
"Unfortunately, there is no one inside, and this is not a model. In fact, its technological level is beyond your imagination. This is the extreme embodiment of nanotechnology. As long as we have the technology, we can repair and summon this robot at any time and place through the nanomachines under our control. So, to a certain extent, it is impossible to destroy, or at least, it is very difficult to destroy."
Just as Chu Hao finished his sentence, the metal giant slowly formed in the sand and stood behind everyone in perfect condition. Below the stage, everyone stared at the robot on the stage with their eyes and mouths agape …
"I think many of you have heard the story just now from Tang Weisen. Maybe you don't believe it at all, or maybe you're skeptical, right? Maybe you're suspecting the purpose of us, this group of futuristic warriors, coming here, right? We just want to save this world, save Earth … "
"In the future, after Skynet launched the Judgement Day, this world was already ruled by robots. We humans were just dragging out an ignoble existence. The speed of evolution of Skynet's robot army and the speed of technological development of Skynet far exceeded that of us humans. Even though we humans obtained the remains of Skynet's robots through small-scale wars and studied and replicated Skynet's technology, we still couldn't match Skynet. Especially after the death of John Connor, the savior of the world, our situation became more and more dangerous. What really made our leader determined to change the birth of Skynet … was Skynet's invention of nano-weapons. That robot just now was the same, and I also know how to use several types of nano-weapons, such as this one …"
Chu Hao closed his eyes for a moment. His hand gestures flashed past at an extremely fast speed. Then, a pitch-black area appeared in the area that he was pointing at. It was impossible to see anything with the naked eye. It was as if even the light had been swallowed up.
"These are all caused by nano-weapons, and Skynet has begun to transform the entire Earth. Through nano-robots, plants, animals, the ground, and even the water, as long as humans are exposed, they will immediately be mechanized. In fact, when we came to this time, only one-fifth of the Earth's surface had not been transformed, and we humans have reached the most desperate moment."
At this point, Chu Hao smiled and said, "I've said what I wanted to say. All the friends present can leave now. We won't do any harm to you. You can rest assured and go wherever you want to go. Again, I'm sorry, but we had no choice in this violent kidnapping."
Everyone at the scene was stunned. Originally, they were still digesting everything that Chu Hao had said. However, at this moment, Chu Hao actually said that they could leave. What was going on? Was this a joke? Or was he planning to kill them when they left?
"Please don't show an expression of disbelief. As I said, we are not homicidal maniacs. Our only purpose is to prevent the birth of Skynet, that's all. But as I said in the story just now, the government has been corrupted by the anthropomorphic robots of Skynet. The government has been secretly creating Skynet and has been silencing all the people who know about it. Of course, I think, with your social status, maybe you won't be silenced."
After Chu Hao finished speaking, he was about to leave with the crowd. He didn't care about the commotion below the stage. At this moment, an old general suddenly stood up and said, "Mister Chu Hao! Are you threatening us? Are you trying to scare us into joining your terrorist organization? "
Chu Hao stopped in his tracks. He looked at the many people below the stage who were looking at him. At that moment, he still used his standard smiley face and said, "Threatening? No, we never threaten. We only tell the truth. There's one thing you're wrong about. We're not terrorists, and we're not a terrorist organization. We're warriors who don't care about their lives to save the world. A real terrorist organization … "
"When you know about Judgment Day, Skynet, and the truth of human extinction, we'll come to clean you up, kill you, and cover up all the truth …"
"The government!"
