Chapter 493: The Battle Begins! The Real Wang Teng!
What is the same and what is different?
The two riddlers left the rest of the people confused.
The shock and confusion in everyone's hearts had not yet dissipated, and they fell into deep doubt.
What is happening here?
To fight or not to fight?
The two major organizations are about to fight and the battle is imminent, but the bosses of both sides are chatting here, and their relationship does not seem to be that bad.
Are all big shots so calm and composed?
“So that’s how it is…” Wang Zhong seemed to understand something and immediately winked at everyone. Although the fight hadn’t started yet, the necessary preparations still had to be made.
Once the war starts, they must kill the masked monster here as soon as possible!
As long as we can kill the masked man, then no matter what the outcome of the next battle against the Nanfeng organization is, it will be considered a big victory!
As for whether the masked man can really return from hell as the legend says, the only way to find out is to kill him!
The others understood what he meant and became more alert.
Su Xia and Wang Teng didn't care about the changes in the others and continued chatting calmly.
"Unfortunately, if you and I were the same type of people, this battle could have been avoided." There was still a trace of regret on Wang Teng's face, and there was a bit more emotion in his voice.
"Yes, that's true." Su Xia nodded calmly.
"But... as long as you are willing to help me fulfill my wish, this battle can still be avoided." Wang Teng changed the subject and offered Su Xia a choice.
He continued, "My wish should be similar to your goal. In a sense, we can be considered fellow travelers. Even if we go our separate ways in the end, we will walk the same path in the early stages. We can be friends, just like Qiao Tu and Wu Yong."
"You are wrong. Our early paths will not be the same." Su Xia looked indifferent and glanced at the other mercenaries present.
"Really?" Wang Teng's eyes moved slightly, and he understood what Su Xia meant.
In order to fulfill his wish, he can use any means necessary, such as summoning these cruel and violent wandering mercenaries and letting them kill innocent lives to strengthen his own power.
But Su Xia wouldn't do that.
Their goals may be similar, but the paths they have taken have long been different, even diametrically opposite.
"You take the lives of roadside weeds too seriously. One day it will hurt you. People should be more selfish." Wang Teng said indifferently.
"Roadside weeds?" Su Xia smiled faintly, "In your eyes, they should be worse than roadside weeds."
"That's right." Wang Teng did not deny it.
The two of them were still talking incoherently, as if they were playing a riddle.
The rest of the people present listened for a long time but could not hear any useful information. They looked at each other and saw the confusion and bewilderment in each other's eyes.
Apart from Hei Hu, Wang Zhong was the closest to the two.
He might be the only person present who understood, because he knew Wang Teng's identity, so he knew that this battle was most likely unavoidable.
The moment the two finished chatting, the battle began.
To be on the safe side, Wang Zhong even wanted to contact Luo Xi, the president of the Southwest Mercenary Union, and ask this powerful level 5 creature to come over to help in case the masked man escapes.
But he was afraid that his unauthorized actions would cause Wang Teng's dissatisfaction, so he dared not take any further action.
Wang Teng didn't look at him, his eyes were always on Su Xia, and he said with a faint smile: "Now that you know my identity, you should also understand that it is difficult for you to kill me at this stage."
"Well, you're right." Su Xia did not deny it.
This time he came to Town No. 7, he really wanted to kill Wang Teng in one fell swoop and get rid of this scourge.
However, after guessing Wang Teng’s true identity, he knew that this goal would be difficult to achieve.
Wang Teng’s true identity is very special. Once it gets out, it will shock the whole world and may even cause a new round of unrest around the world, completely changing the existing situation.
But few people can guess it, even those who often come into contact with him may not be able to guess it.
Just because this identity is really outrageous.
Even Su Xia only slowly guessed it through the communication with Wang Teng last night, based on some information that Wang Teng deliberately leaked and his own experience.
If we could go back in time, to yesterday morning.
At that time, when Wang Teng took the elevator and entered the dark area on the fifth underground floor for the first time with his work permit, he said: "From now on, I can only survive in this dark and miserable corner."
At that time, Su Xia thought he was talking about the space on the fifth underground floor.
But now think about it, the "dark and sad corner" that Wang Teng mentioned actually refers to this planet.
From the perspective of the entire universe, this planet is located on the edge of an undeveloped star field. It is rarely visited by humans and alien civilizations. It can indeed be regarded as a dark and sad corner.
When Wang Teng said that, his expression was very complicated, and even Su Xia didn't understand it at that time.
Yes, Wang Teng is not a life on this planet.
He is a visitor from outer space!
To be precise, he was one of the crew members of the spaceship that crashed on this planet more than 20 years ago!
Initially, after the spacecraft crashed, not all crew members died. In order to survive, some chose to sleep in sturdy hibernation chambers, hoping to be discovered by the Empire's rescue team or awakened by the natives of this world.
Of course, even among the crew members who entered the hibernation chamber, only a very small number survived.
Most of the people died in that tragic crash.
With such a violent collision, no matter how sturdy the hibernation chamber is, it may be damaged in the impact.
Due to the limitations of the underlying logic, the spacecraft's intelligent butler "Hal" cannot actively wake up the surviving crew members. This is what Hal said to Su Xia in person.
Therefore, those crew members who survived have almost all been sleeping in hibernation chambers for more than 20 years.
In the new base of the Oasis Camp, among the huge wreckage, there are two sleeping alien engineers.
For this reason, the research institute and the academic faction from Longcheng are still arguing about whether or not to wake them up. They argue all day long, and even Xiong Wei and Lan Guang can't stand it anymore.
And for some reason, Wang Teng had woken up.
As an alien life, he has no friends, no family, and no one he can trust on this planet, so he said this to Su Xia yesterday: "I don't have many friends in this world. I'm like a wandering soul. No one understands me, and no one knows me."
At that time, Su Xia did not hear the real meaning of this sentence. He thought that Wang Teng was just saying it casually to match his disguised identity.
Now, Su Xia understood.
Su Xia once thought that Wang Teng was a lucky man like him who got a part of the spacecraft wreckage, so Wang Teng advertised to the outside world that he was a man who came out of hell.
Only by experiencing the spaceship's simulated combat system can you understand what the hell battlefield is like.
Therefore, he chose to take action against Wang Teng, not only because of the Nanfeng organization, but also because of the piece of spaceship wreckage in Wang Teng's hand.
"Wang Teng, is that your name?" Su Xia suddenly asked.
"It is now." Wang Teng replied.
"Understood."
Su Xia nodded, and then remained silent for a moment.
This brief exchange once again added a lot of doubts to the minds of the others.
If Wang Teng isn’t his name, what else could it be?
Why did Su Xia ask such a confusing question? And Wang Teng's answer also confused everyone. It was now, but wasn't it before? Did he change his name?
Among the crowd, probably only Wang Zhong understood what Su Xia was asking.
There once was indeed a wandering mercenary named Wang Teng. He was born on this planet and was a native of this planet.
He is very powerful and made a name for himself in the wilderness very early on. He is one of the most famous wandering mercenaries in the southwest region.
But one day, he accidentally discovered a piece of spaceship wreckage, and saw a sleeping alien in it. He didn't know whether to say he was lucky or unlucky.
It is unknown what Wang Teng was thinking, but he destroyed the hibernation chamber and awakened the aliens.
And then, nothing happened...
His story ends here.
It was unknown when Wang Teng's identity was replaced by the alien in front of Su Xia, and he gradually became the king of mercenaries famous in the wilderness.
So, when Su Xia asked that question, Wang Teng answered "now is".
As for the real Wang Teng...
It must have been buried somewhere!
Countless people die in this wilderness every year, otherwise the land would not be so fertile.
When Su Xia was thinking this, her eyes inadvertently swept over Wang Zhong. When she saw the ugly and twisted scar on Wang Zhong's face, her heart suddenly trembled.
wrong……
Maybe the real Wang Teng is not dead.
Wang Zhong's attitude in front of Wang Teng was almost humble, as if he treated Wang Teng as a god. The two of them didn't seem like superior and subordinate at all, but more like master and servant.
At this moment, Su Xia had some enlightenment in his heart.
"Have you guessed it again?" Wang Teng asked with a smile.
"Did you promise him a more prosperous world?" Su Xia asked him.
"Yes, there are even more powerful strengths." Wang Teng's tone was very serious, "As long as you are willing to help me realize my wish, you can also have those. As I said before, our goals are actually very similar."
Wang Teng also thought that Su Xia, like him, was one of the survivors of the spacecraft crash.
After all, Su Xia's methods are varied and his personality is unrestrained and unruly. Even the most powerful race on this planet, the mechanical race, is not taken seriously.
The world in his eyes seems not to be limited to this planet at all, but to the vast starry sky.
Moreover, his identity is mysterious, his whereabouts and origins cannot be found, and even the most complete database of the mechanical race cannot find his information. It is as if he suddenly appeared out of thin air and does not belong to this world at all.
But as we all know, he can't be an undead.
When the undead first arrived, he was already quite powerful and could fight with Yu Tuo at that time, while the undead creatures were still very weak.
Even now, there is no one in the entire undead race who is more powerful than Su Xia.
If he is not of this world, and is not an undead creature, then what is he?
Therefore, Wang Teng believed that there was a high possibility that Su Xia was a member of the awakened spaceship crew just like him.
Many senior members of the Mechanical Clan also think so, otherwise Su Xia would not have such a high priority within the Mechanical Clan.
Therefore, Wang Teng targeted Su Xia everywhere, publicized it all over the world, and broadcast it every day, just to attract Su Xia's attention and get a chance for them to communicate face to face.
However, during last night's conversation, Su Xia guessed his identity.
He also roughly guessed Su Xia's identity.
"Do you want to verify something?" Wang Teng asked Su Xia, "Are you afraid that the world you live in is just a testing ground for some creature, so you want to go outside and take a look?"
"I do have some thoughts in this regard." Su Xia did not deny it and nodded slightly.
Their initial goals were indeed similar.
Wang Teng wanted to return to the starry sky, return to the prosperous imperial star field, and leave this remote planet which he considered dark and dilapidated.
He now felt as if he had been abducted from a big city to a remote village. He could not adapt to the life here at all. Therefore, even if he had to use all possible means and at all costs, he had to go back!
For this, it is worth it no matter how many people die.
Perhaps because he was born from a more advanced civilization, Wang Teng has a sense of pride in his heart. This pride makes him look down on the low-level natives of remote planets from the bottom of his heart.
He doesn't care whether humans on this planet live or die.
In his eyes, these people were no different from roadside weeds, or even worse than roadside weeds. If they died, they died, and he could always find a new group of tools.
And Su Xia, just as he said, wanted to go to the starry sky to find the truth.
He wanted to know whether the Earth existed in the starry sky of this world.
If so, is the Earth here the same Earth where he was born?
The two could have cooperated to search for more spacecraft wreckage, and even jointly resisted the power of the mechanical race, and finally achieved the goal of traveling to the starry sky.
But Su Xia and Wang Teng have different ideas and mindsets, and ultimately they can't walk the same path.
"One last question."
Wang Teng suddenly spoke up and asked, "Are there any other wandering souls in the part of the wreckage you got?"
"have."
Su Xia answered truthfully and did not lie to him.
In the wreckage of the new base of the Oasis Camp, the two alien engineers who are still sleeping should be considered Wang Teng’s companions.
They are all in a foreign land, wandering souls far away from their hometown, and perhaps there is no hope of returning home in this lifetime.
A stranger dies in a stranger's land and is buried in a stranger's land.
This may be their final destination.
"Do you have any other questions?" Wang Teng asked.
“Not for now.”
"Well then..."
Wang Teng suddenly flipped his hand and clapped it on the forehead of the black tiger in front of him without any warning.
There was a loud slap and Hei Hu's eyes rolled back. He fainted on the spot without even being able to utter a word to beg for mercy.
Then, Wang Teng told Wang Zhong calmly, "Take him away and make sure he survives until the end of this war."
"yes!"
Wang Zhong looked respectful. He bent down and grabbed Hei Hu's trouser leg, then dragged Hei Hu away from the area as if he was dragging a dead dog.
Wang Teng looked at Su Xia again, his eyes gradually becoming sharper.
"Then it's our business!"
