Chapter 2 The road ahead
"Xiao Peng, the general asked you to go there."
Duan Peng is addicted, and his fingers are still dancing. Although the dance steps are interrupted again and again, Duan Peng is still training happily.
"Xiaopeng." Looking at Duan Peng's appearance, although he was very reluctant, Liu Bing still had to pat Duan Peng's arm and interrupt Duan Peng's movements.
Duan Peng is Liu Bing's apprentice and the most talented mecha division Liu Bing has ever seen, but Duan Peng is not just a mecha division.
Feeing the power of Liu Bing, Duan Peng stopped his movements and looked back at Liu Bing with a trace of confusion in his eyes: "Master?"
Liu Bing pouted to the side: "Brother Dong sent someone to call you over."
Following the direction of Liu Bing poking, Duan Peng turned his head to look. Although he was very reluctant, Duan Peng still had to stop his training.
"Master, then I'll go there."
"Go!" There was a trace of helplessness in Liu Bing's words, but he could not stop Duan Peng from reporting to Dong Ming.
Duan Peng's talent determines that Duan Peng can't be just a mecha division. Even for the fate of the village, Liu Bing can't stop Duan Peng from developing in other directions.
"Did Uncle Dong ask me what happened?" As he walked, Duan Peng asked the person who conveyed Dong Ming's order.
Three days have passed, and the migration of the village has been going smoothly.
Although the road ahead is full of uncertainty, the villagers have little doubt about Dong Ming's decision.
First of all, everyone is used to obeying Dong Ming's orders.
Secondly, after all, this migration is towards a larger human gathering place. If it can really reach the human city, everyone's safety will undoubtedly be more guaranteed.
"I'm not very clear about this." The person who conveyed the order replied with a trace of respect in his words.
Duan Peng grew up in the village, but the behavior of Duan Peng's three brothers is worthy of respect for everyone in Dong's village.
First, Duan Peng developed the King Kong mecha. If it weren't for the King Kong mecha, there were two explanations about whether the village could resist the early attack of the robot. Then Zhong Xi proposed a beheading operation, and Zhong Xi and Duan Peng rushed to the front line. Finally, the beheading plan was successfully implemented by Duan Peng's self-sacrifice, and As a result, the village was also preserved.
"Oh." Hearing this, Duan Peng nodded gently. Although there was still a trace of doubt in his expression, he did not continue to ask, but the pace under his feet accelerated a little.
The camp of more than 2,000 people is not large. In addition, the place where the mecha division is stationed and the place where Dong Ming is stationed are also in the middle of the camp. In just one or two minutes, Duan Peng has arrived at Dong Ming's place.
When he walked into the tent, Duan Peng found that it was not only that he was called, but Huang Chi, Kong Rong, and even Zhong Xi had already sat down in the tent.
"Buncle Dong." Duan Peng shouted, greeted the others, and then walked to Zhong Xi's side and sat down.
"Okay, everyone is here, so let's get started!"
Since the beheading operation, Duan Peng brought back Wilton, as if to cultivate Duan Peng. Dong Ming would call Duan Peng to attend almost every meeting, and everyone seemed to accept Duan Peng's appearance at the decision-making level of the village, although the participant did not speak much at every meeting.
"The topic to be discussed today is mainly about Wilton, a senior robot left in our team." Dong Ming said slowly.
"Brother Xi, has something happened?" Hearing Dong Ming's topic, Duan Peng couldn't help lowering his head and asking questions in a low voice to Zhong Xi next to him.
"I don't know, I haven't heard of it." Zhong Xi's eyebrows were also locked, and he was suddenly called by Dong Ming. He didn't know what Dong Ming was going to say at this meeting.
Looking at everyone's eyebrows locked, Dong Ming coughed and said to Huang Chi next to him, "Captain Huang, please inform everyone about the situation in the past three days!"
"Yes, General!" Huang Chi stood up, first saluted Dong Ming, and then began to say, "The trip these three days has been very smooth. I don't know if it is due to Wilton's existence. Our team has not suffered a robot attack in the past three days, and all the robots that appeared around us are It will retreat quickly."
Except for Dong Ming, all the participants showed doubts on their faces, which had been expected for a long time. They didn't understand what Huang Chi meant by saying these here, but they did not interrupt Huang Chi's idea of reporting.
"However, there is also a bad news to inform everyone." Huang Chi paused for a moment, swallowed his saliva and continued, "In the past three days, we have encountered robots more and more than day. On the first day, our scout team encountered robots six times in total, and the next day, the number of robots we encountered has almost doubled as on the first day, eleven times, as for today Not to mention, it has reached 21 times now.
"Our village has been besieged. These robots have dispersed from the periphery of our village. Coupled with tools to walk and open roads, our speed is much faster than robots. It should be normal to encounter these robots!" After participating in such major meetings many times, Kong Rong was much more confident than before. After frowning and thinking for a while, Kong Rong finally interrupted Huang Chi's report.
Huang Chi was a little dissatisfied with Kong Rong's interruption, but he just frowned gently and did not make any accusation.
"Xiao Kong, your judgment is very reasonable, but what we are talking about now is not whether it is normal to encounter so many robots." Dong Ming nodded, raised his hand to signal Huang Chi to sit down, and then continued to say, "After receiving Captain Huang's report, I have been thinking about a question, that is, whether Wilton is reliable or not?"
Everyone was awakened by Dong Ming's words, and even Duan Peng, who came back with Wilton, couldn't help frowning.
After a pause, Dong Ming continued, "In three days, we have encountered 38 robots. Although there has been no battle, we can say that this is all due to Wilton, but we don't know what kind of information Wilton has conveyed to these robots. In case these machines The weapons did not retreat far. They just gathered on our outer perimeter, or some robots conveyed Wilton's orders and brought more robots..."
said this, Dong Ming stopped, but everyone understood the meaning of Dong Ming's words. Similarly, everyone's faces were worried.
When you didn't leave the village, you still had a city wall to rely on, but now, only 20 King Kong and a few old-fashioned mecha can fight. You don't have the power to fight a large number of robots at all.
"I don't think so. If Wilton does this, he will have to face the destruction first."
This is the first time that Duan Peng has spoken at such a meeting. Facing everyone's eyes, Duan Peng's tone seemed a little lack of confidence, but he still insisted on saying what he meant.
"Xiaopeng, I also want to believe your judgment, but this is related to the safety of all of us. We are not qualified to take risks at all." Dong Ming said with a wry smile.
"But..." Duan Peng opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to continue.
"But General, even if we confirm that Wilton is sending out unfavorable news to us, what can we do?" Duan Peng doesn't know how to continue, but it doesn't mean that others have no opinion.
Although he was just stared at by Huang Chi and was a little panicked, Kong Rong still put forward his own point of view in the face of such a big thing.
"You can abolish that Wilton." He had long been a little dissatisfied with Kong Rong interrupting his report. Hearing Kong Rong's speech, Huang Chi immediately responded.
Looking at Huang Chi's expression, Kong Rong took a deep breath to calm down his mood, and then said, "It's simple to abolish Wilton, but the reason why we have not been attacked until now is entirely because of Wilton's existence. If Wilton is abolished, what should we do about our future journey? How to deal with it?"
"..." Huang Chi opened his mouth, and finally he could only close his mouth and look at Dong Ming on one side.
Facing Huang Chi's eyes, Dong Ming just sighed for a long time. He didn't expect what Kong Rong said. It was because he also thought of it that there would be this meeting. Otherwise, he would have made a decision long ago.
The whole tent suddenly became quiet and even a little depressing.
"Bunbo Dong..." Finally, Duan Peng raised his head again, but in this oppressive environment, Duan Peng's voice seemed a little hesitant.
Huh? Does Xiaopeng have any ideas? Just say it and listen." Hearing Duan Peng's voice, Dong Ming's eyes immediately lit up, and Duan Peng's appearance had brought him a lot of surprises.
"Yes, Uncle Dong." Such a decision-making meeting still made Duan Peng involuntarily nervous. Although this is not the first time he has participated in such a meeting, Duan Peng still swallowed before continuing, "I think we can have a direct dialogue with Wilton."
"Dialogue with the robot, can you also say such an answer?" Regardless of Dong Ming's presence, Huang Chi shouted loudly.
"Huang Chi, how to speak?" Dong Ming stared at Huang Chi fiercely, and then turned back to Duan Peng and said, "Xiao Peng, don't pay attention to him. What's the reason for you to make such a judgment?"
Dong Ming said that he should ignore Huang Chi, but Duan Peng still looked up at Huang Chi. Seeing that Huang Chi had no response, he continued to say, "Master told me that robots can't lie, and we didn't listen to it during the period when he got along with Wilton. When it comes to his lies, at most he avoids and doesn't answer them.
"Is this your judgment?" Huang Chi shouted again.
Dong Ming ignored Huang Chi's shouting, but gently said to Zhong Xi and Duan Peng, "Xiao Peng, although your master refuses to come to the meeting, I believe in your judgment that this dialogue with Wilton will be left to Xiao Zhong and you."
"Thank you, Uncle Dong!" Duan Peng took a long breath, and Dong Ming agreed with him, which greatly increased his confidence. "However, I think the team should make a short stay here before our conversation with Wilton has a result."
"Oh?" Dong Ming raised his eyebrows and said, "Why?"
"We can test whether we encounter robots because we are too fast, or whether we encounter robots more often because of the robot's intentional approach, which can also confirm Wilton's conversation with us."
"Good!" Dong Ming's face was full of smiles, and Duan Peng's suggestion made him appreciate Duan Peng more. Go ahead!"
Kong Rong's face also showed a suddenly enlightened expression, and his expression quickly turned to appreciation. Scheme is not what Kong Rong is good at. He is better at analyzing intelligence, but this does not prevent him from seeing the highlights of Duan Peng's plan.
