Chapter 451: 340 Bigger Trouble_1
“Phew………”
Sitting in Lameus, Lumiaire moved her hands away from the screen and exhaled softly.
Hacking into Skynet was not a difficult thing for Lumiaire. In her own galaxy, Lumiaire herself is a top hacker. However, her current employer’s requirements were quite extensive. Although it wasn’t beyond Lumiaire’s capabilities, it was nevertheless a very delicate task, one that required her full attention and care.
Through the Skynet network, Lumiaire had seen what these robots were doing. They dissected humans, then stuffed them with steel, trying to transform them into bionic robots. They would even transfer human memories and emotions in various ways, seemingly wanting to push this further.
Admittedly, these excessively gory scenes were a bit too stimulating for Lumiaire, so she had to occasionally divert her attention and relax a little.
Otherwise, the girl might feel like throwing up.
No one noticed when several faint flashes of light appeared on the dark side of the planet, disappearing in an instant, leaving no trace.
And the entire universe remained as it always had.
Soon, a new day arrived with the rising sun.
“Phew………”
John Connor put down the intelligence in his hand, closed his eyes, and let out a long sigh.
The rebel forces had been doing unprecedentedly well recently. Not only had Skynet’s attacks and searches for them decreased in frequency, but many people had also escaped from those death bases alive. Most of these escapees had come to the rear, asking for the protection of the rebel forces. Naturally, the rebels warmly welcomed this because they were always short on manpower. They were thrilled to have so many people join the rebellion.
All this could be traced back to that mysterious squad.
The intelligence lying in John Connor’s hand at the moment is all about that squad, sourced from interrogations of the refugees. According to their descriptions, the squad comprised about a dozen people. The leader was an extremely tall and fearsome figure, who was neither clearly human nor robot. The rest were very beautiful young girls who were riding a very beautiful animal that looked like a deer.
Of course, this small team’s offense was also considerably strong. Every Skynet base was heavily guarded and even the rebel forces could not easily take them down by a dozen men.
John Connor really wanted to establish contact with these people, he even specially dispatched a reconnaissance team to track them. However, these people didn’t seem to want to interact with him, which disappointed John Connor. Although he didn’t know their origin, if they could join the rebel forces, then they would have a better chance against Skynet……
“Knock, knock, knock.”
Just as John Connor decided to rest for a while, a sudden, hurried knock at the door interrupted him. Hearing the knocking, John Connor opened his eyes and sat upright.
“Come in.”
“Commander.”
Soon, the room door opened, and a stern-faced man walked in.
“We’ve spotted a warplane heading towards us!”
“Skynet?”
Hearing this, John Connor’s body trembled slightly, as sleepiness was instantly replaced with alertness.
“No, according to the signal, it’s our plane. We have attempted to contact them, but received no response.”
“Such a thing?”
Hearing his subordinate’s report, John Conner also stood up and followed his subordinate out of the room, into the command center. There, several operators were gathered around a computer, discussing back and forth.
“What’s the situation now?”
“Ah, reporting to commander.”
Upon seeing John Connor, the operator sitting in the chair promptly saluted him, then turned towards the screen.
“This aircraft is flying towards our camp. We have attempted communication, but did not receive any response from them. Also, there are no Skynet warplanes tracking or chasing in the vicinity……”
“………”
Staring at the tiny speck on the screen, John Connor furrowed his brows. In the past, they had pilots defecting to the rebel forces. Pilots were always a precious asset for the rebel forces. It could be that another pilot from somewhere had managed to find a plane and was coming to join them. The fact that they didn’t respond to communication could simply be due to the communication equipment malfunctioning.
But…… thinking about that, John Connor remembered the intelligence he had received from the refugees earlier. According to them, Skynet has now manufactured biological robots that have human appearances and can blend in with humans. Thankfully, that terrifyingly huge man and a flying girl seem to be able to easily identify them. They could always effortlessly hunt down and kill these impostors from among the refugees and prisoners.
This was why John Connor was now so eager to establish contact with Duanmu Huai’s group. The news was indeed terrifying. Even the rebel base was buzzing with discussion about it. No one knew if the man, woman, elderly, or child next to them was a human or a robot. Perhaps they were transmitting intelligence to Skynet while chatting with you.
So, John Connor was hoping that they would come to disinfect his side, at least so that people wouldn’t have to live in such dispersed fear.
Too bad they couldn’t be reached…… um, could this aircraft belong to them?
Thinking about those people’s lack of contact with other forces, John Connor suddenly felt like there was a high possibility for it.
However, to be safe, he still issued an order.
“Send them a message, instructing them to land at Airfield No. 3, I’ll send people to receive them!”
After facing off with Skynet for so long, John Conner wasn’t stupid. Whether the other was a friend or foe, it was always best to be careful. Thus, he chose an airport that was far away from the base.
“Commander, they’ve indeed changed direction!”
Seeing the light on the radar screen change direction, everyone let out a sigh of relief, while John Conner nodded.
“Who’s patrolling that area?”
“It’s Squad C2.”
“Have them head to the 3rd airport, and report back with any updates!”
“Yes sir!”
Soon, the C2 squad that received the order went to the 3rd airport, quickly setting up an ambush and readying for battle while keeping their eyes fixed on the sky. As expected, after a moment, a black warplane appeared in the sky, extending its landing gear, decreasing its altitude, and slowly coming to a halt.
“Well, it’s actually a supersonic warplane!”
Seeing this black warplane, an experienced warrior from squad C2 was in awe. Upon hearing his exclamation, a newbie next to him looked at him in surprise.
“A supersonic warplane?”
“Yes, this thing flies incredibly fast! It’s also very powerful. Before Judgment Day, it was our proudest weapon… back then, we didn’t have so many problems, ah well, there’s no use thinking about it now.”
Looking at the warplane, the old soldier couldn’t help but be filled with reminiscence. But shortly after, he reined his thoughts back in and tightly gripped his gun.
“I’ll take two people with me to check it out, the rest of you stay behind. If there is any trouble, immediately report back to the command center!”
After giving the command, the old soldier led two others out of the ruins, weapons at the ready, cautiously approaching the warplane. The old soldier could see that there was indeed someone sitting inside the plane, but the person sat unmoving, appearing dead.
“Hey!”
The old soldier shouted loudly, and the person inside the warplane looked towards them.
“We are with the Resistance, who are you? Shall we talk on equal grounds?”
“……….”
However, the other party was silent, just sitting there, staring at the old soldier. For some reason, despite the other party wearing a pilot’s helmet, the old soldier felt a chill run through his body, as if he was facing a threat. So, he pulled back the bolt of his gun and aimed at the cockpit.
“Get out, quick, or I will shoot!”
However, what happened next was something no one expected.
“Click, click…”
Under the old soldier’s muzzle, the warplane trembled violently and began to transform. The wings retracted, and the body quickly straightened upwards. In a blink of an eye, the warplane turned into a giant robot standing several meters tall!
“Damn it!!!”
Seeing this, the soldiers of the Resistance were terrified. They hurriedly raised their guns, firing while retreating.
“Report the situation to the command center immediately! We are under attack!!!”
When John Conner got the report from the C2 squad, he was dumbfounded.
“What did you say? The plane turned into a robot?”
“Yes, commander! The warplane has turned into a massive robot. Damn it, this must be Skynet’s new equipment! We are no match for it……”
However, the voice on the other side didn’t finish before the line was cut off amidst an explosion.
“……….”
Looking at the communicator in his hand, John Conner was dumbfounded. What did it mean by the plane turning into a robot? When did Skynet start this kind of play?
As for human-shaped infiltrators, John Conner had some knowledge, but a robot that can transform into a plane… He had never heard of that before.
“Commander!”
However, before John Conner could figure out the situation, another scream appeared in his ear.
“That plane is coming towards us! It may have already locked onto our location!”
“Damn it!”
Hearing this, John Conner immediately put his doubts aside.
“Sound the air raid siren, all personnel prepare for battle!!”
