Chapter seventy-six tricks to escape
Long Xingyi and others were unloaded and locked in a cage, and they were somewhat desperate. They didn't know when the big goldfish General Fei Shi would contact the Interstellar Alliance and when they would flatter Emperor Shaka. The former would reveal their identity, while the latter would directly take their lives.
"Oh! I was careless for a moment and was caught by these lower creatures." After the goldfish man put the cages of the three of them in the water, Archaeolus sighed deeply.
On the one hand, Yin Yuting was trembling with cold water temperature, while sobbing in grief and anger, but still couldn't speak. She cried for a while and found that Long Xingyi was not speaking either, so she looked up and looked in the direction of Long Xingyi.
Long Xingyi was silent at this moment, but he did not cry or sigh. He was also immersed in the biting cold river at night, but he thought quietly like Andy Dufran in "The Shawshank Redemption". Yin Yuting knew him well enough that she believed in his rationality, knowing that the more he was in such a seemingly desperate situation, the more he would think calmly, so he stopped disturbing him.
Archaeolus on the other side seemed to be a little upset by the river, and he couldn't stop talking at all. Seeing that the other two were silent, he became even more nagging.
"Hey, Long Xingyi, what are you thinking? I said, we have to hurry up and find a way to go out, otherwise, no matter whether they hand me over to the Interstellar Alliance or to Emperor Shaka, I will die. This is really a simple multiple-choice question." Archaeolus complained, boredly fiddling with the water plants above the cage.
"Life can be attributed to a simple choice: either be busy living or die." Long Xingyi said this to himself, which made Archaeolus confused for a moment. He had never seen the movie on Earth and did not know that this was a line in "The Shawshank Redemption".
Long Xingyi was soaked in this cold water, observing everything around him: the change of light, the speed of water flow, the frequency of guards' shifts, the goldfish man took away his battle suit, but did not find the PC attached to his wrist. He asked Wolong to help him calculate all this, and was silently thinking about how to find an opportunity to escape. Now it seems that these goldfish man is not very familiar with Emperor Shaka. It is not particularly clear whether the arrogant people like Emperor Shaka will like these lower species. So they can't make it in a day or two. In the Interstellar Alliance, even if they contact Cruce
, 200 years ago, Cruse did not recognize Long Xingyi and Yin Yuting. Using them to threaten the Interstellar Alliance would not be of any benefit to the Goldfish. If Long Xingyi was a Goldfish, he would think, even if these two interstellar agents were successful in threatening the Interstellar Alliance, would the Interstellar Alliance really be willing to lose weight? They probably wouldn't give up and attack themselves with the Gamu Stars. If General Fei Shi's IQ is as high as Long Xingyi, he should have thought of this. In this way, he would not be in a hurry to contact the Interstellar Alliance, but instead used these two interstellar special work as the last bargaining chips for the final negotiations.
At dawn, another cage was pushed into the water by the goldfish people. The three of them looked over at each other, and they saw that the other party struggled for a while and poked out the head that had been beaten to the bruised face from the water. Even though they were beaten a little terrible, Archaeolus still recognized the Gamu man at first sight.
"General Hyman!" Archaeolas whispered. Long Xingyi and Yin Yuting realized that this Gamu star might be the general who reached an agreement with Archaeolus the night before.
General Hyman endured the severe pain and looked at Archaeolus. He looked at Long Xingyi and Yin Yuting, and then shook his head gently, "They said they had caught a few people who were about to join me. It turned out to be you. I don't know if I should be happy or despair when I meet here."
"General Hyman, my two friends are really good at kung fu! It was just that I was careless just now that they were arrested together." Archaeolus tried his best to explain to General Hyman, afraid that his image would affect the other party's impression.
"Is there any use to say this now?" General Hyman smiled bitterly and said, "You two... are Earthlings? As far as I know, the solar system has not yet joined the Interstellar Alliance. Although human IQ has reached the advanced biological standards, the level of civilization development is still too low. Has your earth escaped the steam era?"
"General Hyman, what you are talking about was 240 years ago, the first industrial revolution." Long Xingyi recalled what he learned in history class and replied with a smile: "It seems that you have been to or heard of our planet about 200 years ago. If you go 100 years later, you will find that we have entered the electrical age and used electricity to promote machines for production. If... you go 100 years later, you will find that we have entered the third scientific and technological revolution, invented computers, and gradually entered the information age. Now, we have entered the fourth scientific and technological revolution of the Internet industrialization."
"I also read in the history of the planet. It was indeed a work from many years ago." General Hyman shook his head in surprise after listening to Long Xingyi's explanation, "A scientific and technological revolution once a hundred years? It has developed too fast. The IQ of you Earthlings is really immeasurable. So, have you joined the Interstellar Alliance?"
"That's not yet." Long Xingyi smiled politely, "This matter is a long story. We can change the environment." Long Xingyi said, and looked at the surrounding cages and the calm river water funnyly.
"Yes, let's find a way to get out here first!" Yin Yuting answered, "General, do you still have any people who know the news of your arrest? You are stationed there, not just to wait for us, right?"
Speaking of this, General Hyman's expression began to become serious, "Yes, the situation on our main battlefield is not optimistic. I originally led the communication team to apply for supplies in the rear of the battlefield, but I didn't expect that Fei Shi discovered that he also led the team to penetrate into our rear and attacked us. But he didn't know what my motivation was for going there."
"How long is the handover time you agreed on?" Long Xingyi asked thoughtfully, holding his chin.
"It's noon today." General Hyman looked at Tianse and said, "It's about ten hours left before now!"
Long Xingyi looked at the time and shouted to the guards behind him: "Call your General Fei Shi to come over! I have important information to tell him." A nearby goldfish man heard Long Xingyi's shouting and obediently went to report.
"What are you going to do!" General Hyman asked nervously.
"First transfer the tiger away from the mountain to deceive their trust, then accidentally kill him and fight back!" Long Xingyi whispered to General Hyman to reassure him.
"Didn't you betray our teammates?" General Hyman asked dissatisfiedly.
Long Xingyi smiled bitterly and said, "Do you think they wouldn't ambush if I didn't say it? With the same result, it's better for us to save ourselves first and then find ways to destroy their actions."
At this time, General Fei Shi came from a distance and asked arrogantly: "Have you figured it out?"
Long Xingyi instantly changed his face and nodded with helplessness, "Oh! Since things have come to this point, I will tell you the truth! We were indeed sent to the mission by the Gamu people asking for help from the Interstellar Alliance. This General Haiman is the one who is in charge of us. There will be follow-up troops to help us wipe out your main force ahead. Since you have already caught us, I will not struggle. If the follow-up troops arrive at the assembly site and cannot see General Haiman and I, you will inevitably be suspicious. You are originally behind the Gamu people. If two troops attack each other at that time, you will definitely not be able to finish. It is better for General Haiman and I to go to the assembly site with you and deceive them to relax their vigilance, so that we will not alarm the snake."
"You are so kind?" General Fei Shi felt it made sense when he heard this, but he didn't dare to believe it completely.
Long Xingyi shrugged helplessly, "It's over, are I still waiting for you to use us to threaten the Interstellar Alliance, or give it to Emperor Shaka? If I help you, please promise not to hurt the lives of my teammates and me. If you let us return to the headquarters after the war, it will be even."
General Fei Shi stared at Long Xingyi with suspicion for a long time, and finally said with determination: "Okay! But your two teammates should continue to stay here as hostages in case you change in the middle of the journey." After that, he signaled the soldiers beside him to come forward and pick up Long Xingyi.
"It's up to you!" Long Xingyi said casually, "Can you stop letting them soak in the water? After all, we are terrestrial animals, and they will become moldy after soaking for a long time."
General Fei Shi sneered and said slowly: "Okay, I can't play any tricks. If you really help us defeat the Gamu people, I will keep you by your side in the future, and you will have your own fortune. If you dare to play tricks... I will let you all die in the water!"
Both Long Xingyi and General Haiman were released. Long Xingyi quietly gave General Haiman a look and asked him to attract the attention of the goldfish man. He started a conversation and said, "I really don't understand that you Gamuxing. Since a smart creature has appeared, why would the second creature rebel? It deserves you to be taken away."
General Hyman cleverly understood Long Xingyi's eyes and pretended to be dissatisfied, saying, "Do you think you humans are really the same species? It's just that their characteristics are similar." Then he stared at General Fei Shi viciously and said, "As sooner or later, we will clear these miscellaneous fragments that repay kindness with grievances from this planet!"
General Fei Shi's lips twitched slightly, then turned into a grim smile, "You have always regarded yourself as high-level creatures. Even if you are in the Gamu Star, you still regard us as inferior. Now, it is the time for you to retribution. Now, I think you should save yourself first! Your bad life is still in my hands."
General Hyman immediately started arguing with Fei Shi, and successfully attracted the attention of the Goldfish Guards. Long Xingyi took this opportunity to gently pull out his dagger from the Goldfish Guards beside him at an extremely fast speed and quickly threw it to Yin Yuting in the cage. Yin Yuting quickly caught it and hid it in her sleeve.
Long Xingyi gave Yin Yuting a look and suggested that she would rescue herself when she led the Goldfish Squad away. Then Long Xingyi lazily said to General Fei Shi, who was still arguing... To be precise, he was punching and kicking General Hyman, and said: "I said, we should go. If you hit him with a bruised nose, do you think the reinforcements will be suspicious? Also, the size of the troops is quite large, so you'd better bring a few more people and make more points. My two teammates, unarmed, can't do anything."
General Fei Shi seemed to have just had a quarrel with General Heman, and he didn't want to talk about anything more for a while, so he ordered the two soldiers to raise General Heman and said to the two goldfish men behind the team: "You two! Stay here and watch them. If you play tricks, execute them on the spot!" Then he said to Long Xingyi viciously: "Let's go! Don't play tricks!"
