After the Atlantis fleet secretly arrived on Earth and obtained the approval of various governments, the first thing they did in front of the general public was to unabashedly admit the fault of their ancestors for wanting to seal off the foreign world and forcefully clashing with the ancient civilization on Earth.
After that, they also expressed that in order to maintain the 'purity' of the universe, they would spare no effort to help the Earthlings defend against the invasion of the foreign worlds. The almost perfect moral standards of the advanced civilization that they displayed made most of the Earthlings feel that it was very high.
However, in reality, how could a powerful interstellar civilization composed of tens of billions of people not contain countless dirty 'dregs' and complicated social relationships under the bright and beautiful outer shell? Any smart person would know that the heart of every Atlantean was as' beautiful 'as their appearance, so such a thing would never happen.
"The credibility of a sergeant major is not something that we can compete with." Upon hearing that the discussion of her companions had reached an impasse, the Atlantean woman with an elegant temperament paced around the quiet room twice anxiously. Suddenly, her facial features became distorted as she said, "We can only hope that she will never appear again."
"Don't talk nonsense, Baolai. In an ancient 'world' without nuclear and light weapons, a 'sergeant major' is like a god. The only thing that can threaten her is a virus, but the probability of her dying from a fatal disease is just too low …
However, Sergeant Someril hasn't appeared for so long. Perhaps, perhaps she's really dead … "
"It doesn't matter even if he doesn't die. Don't forget, a supernatural world like the '30009 World' might really have a god …" Under the pressure of tension, the Atlanteans in the room began to talk more vaguely and viciously.
Ever since they were defeated by the aborigine tribe on the island and fled back to the Earthlings' barracks, they had been relying on these malicious speculations to relieve their stress in the past two days. Often, they would need to talk for a few hours to make themselves feel better. However, not long after the conversation entered into this irrational and simple venting state, they were suddenly interrupted by the doorbell's "ding dong …" sound.
"I told them not to let these Earthlings disturb us, but they just had to …"
"Stop complaining, Deolis. No matter how much you look down on them, those Earthlings are our allies.
We're in a bad situation right now, so we mustn't provoke them for no reason. " Aladus warned his companion with a solemn expression and quickly walked to the door to open the silver-gray metal door. Smiling, he said to the short but energetic US soldier outside the door, "Hello, Sergeant William. Is there anything I can help you with?"
"Sir, Dr. Zhang Lisheng, the first batch of joint explorers of the Shrimp World No. 2, has returned to the camp. Lieutenant Colonel White ordered me to inform all of you." The sergeant saluted and reported meticulously.
"There's news about the first batch of World 30009 explorers?" Aladus' face turned a little gloomy in an instant. Then, he said joyfully, "That's great! Other than Dr. Zhang Lisheng, who else has returned?"
"Only the doctor came back alone." This answer was already enough, but because of the Atlanteans' good attitude and the fact that there was no real superior-subordinate relationship between them, William hesitated for a moment before adding, "But he seems to be in good condition. The other explorers should not be in danger, sir."
"He's the only one who returned to the camp, but he's still in good condition. I understand now, Sergeant William. Thank you." Aladus became silent for a while and sent the US soldier away with a smile. After closing the door, he said with an unusually solemn expression, "Everyone, you've heard the words of the Earth's soldiers. Looks like the first batch of explorers of the World 30009 are still alive and safe …"
"Doesn't it mean that we're in trouble if they're alive and safe …"
"Shut up, Morisa! Listen to me. Everyone, I suddenly had an inspiration just now. In fact, the key to solving the problem we're facing is not what Sergeant Someril said, but that Earthling doctor.
He's the only link that connects Atlantis, Earth, and the Shrimp B1 Island's indigenous people. When it comes to the issue of the natives, his words are far more authoritative than anyone else. If he's willing to help us shirk our responsibility, our problem will naturally be solved. "
"Aladus, you're saying that the six of us noble Atlanteans now need to rely on an Earthling to get rid of our crime? This is really …"
"Deolis, now that we're all going to be 'expelled,' put away that noble face of despising the intelligent creatures of a 'lower civilization.'
Since that Earth doctor can help us solve the problem, what we have to do now is to use all means to make him willing to save us … "The Atlantean woman with slightly slender eyes in the room said coldly.
The others pondered for a while and finally nodded in agreement, "That's right, we need his help …"
When the second batch of Shrimp World No. 2 explorers focused their attention on Zhang Lisheng, this Earth doctor, whose body was filled with preservatives, was chatting in high spirits with White, the supreme commander of the Shrimp B1 Island's federal garrison.
"It turns out that the Atlanteans who attacked the Wizard Li's ancestral land are only the second batch of explorers sent by Atlantis to Shrimp World No. 2.
I heard from the tribal headman that there are red-haired, fair-skinned outlanders who can fly and set fire in the sky burning the tribe, so I thought that Atlantis is going to declare war on the Shrimp B1 Island's natives. For this reason, I hurriedly rushed to the garrison camp. "
"Doctor, if those aliens want to attack the indigenous tribes on the island, they would have long sent an aerospace battleship.
With their level of civilization, how could they possibly choose to fight alone? " The shrewd and tough officer with a square face with particularly developed chewing muscles said with a disapproving expression.
"Oh, Lieutenant Colonel, if we want to achieve 'occupation' in any war, we can only rely on the army, can't we?" The young man pretended to be unconvinced and argued.
"Of course, the army will need to participate in the ground occupation, but even on Earth, the three-dimensional war of 'sea, land, and air' has already become the main method in storming the battlefield. For example …" When it came to the military field, White began to quote the classics with great interest.
Sitting on the leather chair opposite the desk, Zhang Lisheng secretly found it funny but nodded repeatedly as he listened to the officer's eloquence in front of him. Shrugging, he said humorously, "I'm speechless with the war example you gave, Lieutenant Colonel. Looks like you're the expert when it comes to talking about war. That's why you're the heroic commander of the federal garrison while I can only be a boring biologist …"
As the young man was speaking, he suddenly yawned and pinched his brows a few times. Sighing, he continued to say, "I'm sorry, Lieutenant Colonel. These few months have really tired me out.
Even though I've been living a good life in the native tribe, being away from civilization has made me tired very easily. To be honest, no matter how magnificent and magnificent the seascape is, it's still not as attractive as the desktop of a computer.
No matter how smooth the fur of a beast is, it's still not as comfortable as sleeping on a waterbed. "
"I can understand your feelings, Doctor." White showed an expression of deep sympathy. "Actually, I'm also sick of this island."
"Oh, you can understand my feelings? I wonder if you can lend a helping hand, Lieutenant Colonel?" Upon hearing the officer's words, Zhang Lisheng seized the opportunity to say with a smile, "I plan to go back to New York to rest for a few days. If you can send a small battleship to escort me, I'll be very grateful. Not only that, I'll personally explain this matter to General Joss of the New York military base. I won't make things difficult for you."
Even though White appeared to be eager to return to civilized society like the young man, when he heard Zhang Lisheng casually saying that he wanted to leave all of his companions behind and return to the metropolis of the civilized world to rest, he still had a baffled expression on his face.
However, when he thought of Zhang Lisheng's complete freedom and his identity of coming to the foreign world's island to suffer out of his own will, the officer could not bring himself to criticize him. With his mouth agape, he appeared to be very embarrassed.
When he was in a dilemma, the door of his office was gently pushed open. A secretary wearing a military uniform leaned over and reported, "Lieutenant Colonel, the officers of Atlantis are here."
"Phelia, is it Sergeant Aladus and the rest? Please come in," White secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that someone had come to help him. White secretly breathed a sigh of relief when someone came to his rescue. After instructing the secretary, he smiled and whispered to Zhang Lisheng, "Those Atlanteans must have come because they want to see you, doctor. You can question them later on why they would attack the natives' territory on the island …"
Before he could finish his words, six young men and women with fiery red hair and fair skin walked into his office quickly. The officer stood up and greeted them with an unusually polite smile, "Sergeant Aladus, Sergeant Deolis … Please have a seat. Would you like tea or coffee?"
"Water will do, Lieutenant Colonel White.
Six of our companions who set foot on Shrimp B1 Island with us have just died. According to the Atlantean custom, we can't drink any flavorful drinks in the near future. " Aladus forced a smile at the officer with a pained expression. After nodding, he shifted his attention to Zhang Lisheng. "You must be Dr. Zhang.
I'm Aladus Qim, the second batch of explorers of World 30009. I'm glad to see that you're safe and sound. "
"Hello, Sergeant Aladus. Thank you for your concern."
"There's no need to thank me, Doctor. However, after showing my concern, I must talk about a serious topic. It's like this, one of our tasks is to understand the current situation of your first batch of explorers in World 30009 and the reason why you haven't contacted the outside world for a long time. Can you tell me now?"
"Of course, Sergeant Aladus." The young man put on a thoughtful expression and sighed. "Actually, I don't know much about the situation of the other explorers either. I've already been separated from them half a year ago …"
