Faced with Forerunner 2, which appeared like a ghost, Zhang Fengyu's first reaction was not to take out a weapon and attack, but to signal everyone to put down their guns and stay calm.
Because he knew very well how serious the consequences of attacking the forerunners rashly would be.
Zhang Fengyu has had contact with all three Forerunners before, and among these Forerunners, Forerunner 3, which is the main research target in China, is relatively "simple" and easy to contact.
Number 1 is very cold and has less contact.
As for No. 2, who was standing in front of Zhang Fengyu at this time, it was quite special.
Zhang Fengyu vaguely remembers the day he came into contact with Forerunner 2 for the first time.
Without warning, Forerunner 2 brought Zhang Fengyu into a strange world.
It was a vast black land, and the sky was an oppressive gray-white. The two tones together gave people an indescribable sense of dullness.
But it was there that Zhang Fengyu heard the "voice" of Forerunner 2.
Perhaps to be more precise, it is not the voice of Forerunner 2, but the part of its "past" that it wants to share with Zhang Fengyu.
During that part of the past, Zhang Fengyu saw many strange scenes.
Familiar streets, hurried crowds, weeping after life and death, laughter and noise when friends get together, wars in various parts of the world, smoke filling the world... and other scenes full of tension and expressiveness over and over again.
passed through Zhang Fengyu's mind.
At first, Zhang Fengyu thought that these pictures must contain a lot of inner meaning, so he tried hard to remember these pictures so that he could go back and formulate a report.
But whenever he had such thoughts, Forerunner 2 would forcibly cut off contact with him, and it was like planting an early warning seed in Zhang Fengyu's brain.
With the existence of this seed, as long as Zhang Fengyu has the idea of forming a report, his brain will fall into a state of confusion.
After a few times, Zhang Fengyu understood...
Forerunner 2 chose to share these with him, but never intended to share them with the world through Zhang Fengyu.
But...to this day, Zhang Fengyu still has not been able to understand the inner meaning that Forerunner 2 wanted to express.
What exactly is it trying to do, why is it doing it...all this is blank.
…
After a stalemate with Forerunner 2, Zhang Fengyu whispered to his subordinates: "You go first."
"Captain?" The subordinates were a little uneasy. They didn't want to be deserters.
Zhang Fengyu repeated: "It's okay, you go first... leave it to me."
After saying that, he stepped forward and stood in front of Forerunner 2.
Such a bold move would most likely lead to death.
But Forerunner 2 did not make any attack on Zhang Fengyu. It just stood there face to face with Zhang Fengyu quietly.
When Zhang Fengyu's men were about to leave, a scarlet vertical mark appeared on Forerunner 2's face.
This engraving seems to be completely consistent with what Zeng Yijie described before.
But Zhang Fengyu did not resonate with Forerunner 2 like Guan Dehou did.
After the scarlet mark appeared, Forerunner 2 raised his right hand and touched the center of Zhang Fengyu's eyebrows with his fingertips.
Then at that moment, the world seemed to freeze.
Time has stopped.
…
Zhang Fengyu looked at Forerunner 2, and intermittent sentences composed of different sounds appeared in his ears.
"I...strangely...saw...dangerous...things...done...on the morning of the 3rd."
Zhang Fengyu couldn't understand it at first, but he soon figured out the meaning of this sentence.
"You...want to say that you saw the horrific things that No. 3 caused, right?"
The mixed voices in the ears replied: "Well... it's so... terrifying... bloody... disharmonious... this is... a primitive creature... violent... inferior..."
The same complicated sentences again.
After sorting it out, Zhang Fengyu understood that Forerunner 2 was obviously uneasy and even dissatisfied with what No. 3 did. It believed that No. 3's behavior was a primitive, violent and despicable act.
"We don't know why it did this... We didn't want to hurt you. The battle in the underground base is because there are traitors within us, and we are trying to eliminate them." Zhang Fengyu followed the meaning of No. 2 and said.
The voice in the ear was silent for a while and then reappeared. This time the sentences became much clearer. It seemed that Forerunner 2 mastered human sentences in only a short time.
"No. 3... young... mentality... fragile... infinite... possibilities... to stop... need to... stop... prevent more terrorist attacks... incidents... from happening."
Zhang Fengyu frowned, and he probably understood what No. 2 meant.
"Are you saying that No. 3 did this because he was too young and not mature enough?"
"Roughly... 90% of the ingredients... are correct."
Zhang Fengyu was excited because this might be the first formal communication between humans and the forerunners.
"Then...can you stop it?"
The voice in my ears fell silent again.
After a long time, I heard the reply: "I... can't... do this... what is complicated... and confusing... is not... No. 3's inner... but... you... No. 3... have...
Too similar to you..."
This time Zhang Fengyu failed to fully understand the meaning of No. 2.
He only heard No. 2 saying that he couldn't do it, but what did he mean... It wasn't No. 3 that was confused? It was because No. 3 was too similar to humans?
What exactly does No. 2 want to express?
"Are you trying to tell me that No. 3 is very similar to us?"
Zhang Fengyu seemed to understand after listening.
Perhaps Forerunner 2 wanted to tell him that the reason why Forerunner 3 committed so many horrific killings was not due to the nature of Forerunner 3, but because it had been in contact with humans for too long and had become increasingly
Like human beings, everything they do at this moment is the bad side of human nature.
Brutal killing is the most primitive and inferior aspect...
Although I really don't want to admit it, Forerunner 2 probably won't lie at this time.
So after being silent for a while, Zhang Fengyu said: "Thank you for telling me this... But brutal killings are not all of us... Just like the pictures you shared with me... You have also seen that we also have a lot of nobility.
There are also many happy moments, these things are also real and reflected in our human beings."
Forerunner 2 looked at Zhang Fengyu silently.
Zhang Fengyu paused and continued: "But you are right about one thing... We are children... a group of willful children... We don't know how high the sky is... we don't know how to cherish... All our actions are completely in line with our hearts...
This cannot be changed by the power of one or two people..."
Zhang Fengyu didn't know how he could say such a thing.
For a soldier, his thoughts are dangerously scattered.
But maybe this is what makes Zhang Fengyu different from others.
After spending a long time with people like You Gege, Chu Yanran, Zeng Yijie, and Fu Yihan... Zhang Fengyu has been changed subtly.
Forerunner 2 looked at Zhang Fengyu silently.
Its hand slowly retracted.
Time starts to flow again.
The soldiers behind Zhang Fengyu who were raising their guns also resumed their movements.
next moment.
Gunfire rang out.
The dense bullets penetrated the body of Forerunner 2, and it fell down silently, with bright red blood sprinkling on the surrounding grass.
When Zhang Fengyu came back to his senses, his eyes were calm.
The soldiers behind him looked surprised.
Because they chose to shoot because they instinctively wanted to protect after seeing Forerunner 2 "doing something" on Zhang Fengyu, but the current result made them feel a little unreal.
They are also pioneers, but No. 2 is much more fragile than No. 3.
But what they didn't notice was...
The way Zhang Fengyu looked at Forerunner 2...
It was a look of compassion, and a look with a vague sense of tribute.
After a soldier stepped forward to confirm that Forerunner 2 was dead, he said with some fear: "Captain...it...it's dead..."
Zhang Fengyu withdrew his gaze and then looked into the distance and said: "As long as our people are safe, we should withdraw to the isolation channel immediately and prepare to detonate."
After hearing this, everyone immediately carried out the order.
Not long after, with a huge roar, a huge gap was blown out of the partition barrier.
When Zhang Fengyu led his men back to the gap, the guards on the opposite side had also come to respond.
After the two parties met, Zhang Fengyu immediately informed Zhuo Zhiwen that it was time to leave.
Zhuo Zhiwen's side was also ready. After receiving the news, they began to set off through the isolation area passage.
Around 9 a.m. on the 10th, Zhuo Zhiwen escorted the researchers to the southern district smoothly.
After reuniting with the survivors in the southern area, both sides strengthened their defense lines, and the researchers were concentrated in a shared laboratory guarded by guards.
…
However, Zhang Fengyu did not continue to follow the route as planned. Instead, he waited until Zhuo Zhiwen arrived, and after settling in the researchers, he called Zhuo Zhiwen and others into an independent conference room.
As soon as Zhuo Zhiwen entered the conference room, she saw a battle scene with monitoring feedback being pushed on the big screen in the conference room.
From the screen, you can see that Li Shaoan and his men are fighting against Guan Dehou's transformed Forerunner.
The fighting power of both sides was very terrifying, but as the battle lasted longer, Guan Dehou's transformed forerunner began to gain the upper hand.
With a terrifying physique, amazing speed and brutal strength.
The forerunner transformed from Guan Dehou was like a tiger jumping into a flock of sheep, instantly causing a bloody storm.
Zhuo Zhiwen happened to see this scene when she was sitting down in the conference room. She could not help but frown, and her heart was filled with panic.
