"Friends...come...help."
Celtic, who approached Chris, did not use the translator that came with the mask, but spoke the above words in his own voice.
"Help?" Chris was stunned.
But combined with the meeting held yesterday, Chris instantly understood the intention expressed by Celtic.
At this time, Kelt looked back and looked back at the thin iron blood who was still standing beside the aircraft, and then used the mask's translator to continue:
"My mentor and I will help you stay away from plunder. You can come with us and leave as soon as possible."
"Leave..." Chris frowned.
Although it was a bit difficult to hear, Chris understood.
"Thank you, but..." Then he was about to say something.
"Captain Redfield." He was interrupted by armed security who arrived.
"Roar…"
Seeing a team of security guards wearing mechanical skeletons and fully armed, Celtic instinctively let out a vigilant growl, ready to deploy the double-edged wrist knife in his right hand at any time.
On the contrary, Jie Xue, whom Celtic calls his mentor, has always remained calm and is not as impetuous as Celtic.
Eight security guards came behind Chris, and the first one said to Chris in a deep voice: "The above needs more information."
"Okay, I get it." Chris gathered his thoughts, looked at Celtic not far in front of him, and suggested:
"Big guy, you came up and talked about plundering and leaving. It's really a bit confusing. Why don't we have a good talk?"
"Gah...gah..." Kelt looked at his mentor and communicated in the language of their iron-blooded clan.
"Gah."
The elder Tie Xue replied briefly, as if to say, "You can handle your own affairs yourself," as he did not want to get involved too much.
"..." Kelt, who was wearing a mask, stared at Chris in silence for a few seconds, then used the translator again and said:
"Yes, you are mine, friend."
"Then come with me." Chris said.
Next.
The elder Iron Blood controlled the wrist computer and sealed the hatches on both sides of the fusiform spacecraft. Then Celtic, who was in a relationship with his apprentice, followed Chris and others out of here.
ten minutes later.
basement one.
A large conference room.
Kelte and Lone Wolf did not choose to sit down, but stood at the front of the conference room. After all, human seats were really too narrow for them.
In view of Chris's close relationship with Celtic, Chris acted as a diplomatic person to negotiate with the two iron bloods.
Through a headset worn in his left ear, Chris can relay questions from company executives.
"What do you want to know?" Kelt said first.
"First of all, why are you taking me away? Are we humans about to face some kind of disaster?" Chris asked.
"Yes." Kelt said without denying: "You humans are being targeted by an unreasonable... locust.
(Kelt raises his hand and points to the scar on Chris’s left cheekbone)
And you once saved my life and got the approval of the elders, so I took you away. I also hope to fight side by side with you again. "
"Thank you for your kindness. To be honest, I also hope to fight side by side with you." Chris expressed gratitude.
The tough guy didn't expect that after just a brief escape cooperation, he would be regarded as a true friend. Chris was a little flattered.
However, Chris quickly calmed down and asked directly: "Locusts? What are they?"
"They devour, they...well...in short, they plunder!" Celtic's expression was unclear, and his mood became increasingly violent.
"They're called predators." Seeing that Celtic couldn't speak fluently, the older Ironblood, who had been silent, explained to Chris smoothly:
"We know that you call your home planet the Earth, but to us, the Earth is just a hunting planet for our teenagers to test. There are thirty-six hunting planets belonging to our tribe alone, including you. 's home planet.
And the predators…
Even the elders of our clan don’t understand their origins.
They are very different from my race and you humans.
They use their own bodies to sail between the stars, devouring and plundering any planet with living creatures. They are unable to communicate, let alone negotiate. "
Hear the words.
Chris' face was solemn.
I originally thought that the incoming alien force was the kind from science fiction movies or comics, guys who looked similar to humans, just like the two iron-blooded men in front of me.
Being able to navigate the universe with a flesh and blood body is an existence that Chris can't even imagine.
At this time, the reminder from the earphones made Chris stop thinking, and looked at the older iron-blooded man and asked:
"If you encounter predators, do you have the ability to resist or annihilate them all?"
"In the past, our tribe had a large number of people, and we regarded hunting planets as our tribe's territory. We would destroy any enemies who dared to invade, until a hunting planet was targeted by plunderers."
The elder Tie Xue paused and continued:
"At the beginning, our clan only paid a small price and easily destroyed the fleet of predators that tried to invade. But later, we found that it was just one of them.
Calculated according to your human time unit, within more than three hundred years after our clan destroyed that fleet, a war broke out between our clan and other clans.
Deep in the quagmire of war, an almost endless fleet of predators once again arrived at the hunting planet.
The elders of our clan judged that they could not kill them all, so they were forced to abandon the hunting planet. At the same time, due to the war and the sharp decrease in the number of people, they no longer regarded the hunting planet as territory. "
Speaking of which.
The elder Tie Xue changed the topic to Chris: "Because you, a human, have changed the leader of our tribe's view of human beings, but unfortunately, your home planet has been targeted by predators.
Even if our clan annihilates a fleet of predators again, a hundred years later, your home planet will still be unable to escape the fate of being devoured, assimilated and plundered.
Moreover, the small price our clan paid at the beginning is now an unbearable loss for our clan.
Providing you with information about the predators is the last assistance our tribe provides to you humans. The rest can only be relied on you humans. "
"Friend, let's go," Celtic echoed.
"Thank you, but this is my hometown." Chris refused immediately.
Seeing this, Kelt stopped trying to persuade him. After all, custom made Kelt fully understand Chris's decision.
Putting himself in his shoes, Celtic would have made the same decision accordingly, so he felt ashamed of Chris's suggestion to escape.
If, on the other hand, it was Chris who suggested escaping to Celtic, Celtic might not be able to hold back his temper and beat up Chris.
It's just that he couldn't repay the kindness of saving his life, which made Celtic, who was already irritable, fall into an extremely unhappy state.
etc…
"Friend, I will fight side by side with you again!" Kelt suddenly said excitedly for some reason.
at the same time.
[Chris Redfield's "Good Luck" activation detected.
Affected by "good luck", Celtic, who has long regarded Chris as a close friend, believes that fighting side by side with his close friend in the face of certain death is a supreme honor that cannot be refused. 】
