Chapter 3433
The temperament of a person is as dazzling as the stars in the dark night. In just a moment, Zhang Yi felt that this person was extraordinary.
There was no expression on Saladin's face, but he had a natural sense of dominance and composure.
That comes from the calm mentality honed after going through hundreds of battles and the fearlessness of all situations.
Zhang Yi glanced at Saladin, and Saladin was also looking at Zhang Yi.
Both of them were secretly shocked.
Zhang Yi felt that this man was no ordinary person and was indeed powerful. Otherwise, how could he have risen from the Middle East and become the emperor of a country that controlled a huge empire and could compete with the European powers?
When Saladin saw Zhang Yi, his pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly.
It's not that he hasn't seen strong people before. After coming to Fremons, he has dealt with many powerful aliens from all over the world.
This is the first time I’ve been so close to Zhang Yi.
He was shocked because Zhang Yi looked too ordinary.
Although Zhang Yi (thinks he is) very handsome, foreigners' aesthetic sense cannot discern this, not to mention that handsome appearance is not something that strong men care about.
It is even possible that being too handsome may have the opposite effect, making people feel that he is good-looking but useless.
Saladin did not feel any aura from Zhang Yi that could be called powerful.
Arrogance, self-confidence, arrogance, and the indifference of those in power...
Zhang Yi didn't have any such feeling at all. If people didn't know that he was Zhang Yi, if they threw him into a crowd, he might not be as noticeable as a well-trained special forces soldier.
However, it was this feeling that shocked the leader of the Assassin sect.
"What a horrible man."
Saladin said so in his heart.
He walked over and greeted Zhang Yi very politely: "The renowned Hundun, I have heard of your glorious achievements. You are a true warrior!"
Zhang Yi smiled slightly when he saw Saladin approaching, and his hands instinctively dropped to his sides.
The leader of the Assassin sect was a master of assassination. Although he knew that it was basically impossible for the other party to attack him here, out of habit, he still kept his body in a state where he could defend, escape, and finally counterattack at any time.
This action did not escape Saladin's eyes. Instead of feeling offended, he admired Zhang Yi even more.
"As the rumors suggest, he is an extremely cautious man. Only a strong man like him can achieve brilliant victory after brilliant victory on the battlefield."
Zhang Yi smiled and nodded, "I remember you are His Excellency Saladin. It is an honor to fight alongside you on this battlefield."
The two kept a distance between them, and then walked side by side into the command center. The staff on the roadside bowed and saluted, and then guided them on the way.
"What do you think about the Chernobyl incident?"
Saladin smiled, but his face was dark, thin and hawk-like, with a big beard, so the smile seemed a little forced.
Zhang Yi smiled faintly: "I don't have any opinion. I can't get any intelligence at all. I can only wait and see from Fremons."
Saladin said sincerely, "Since the end of the world, there have not been many wars between humans and underground civilizations. This is the second large-scale war."
"So when it comes to understanding underground civilization, Your Excellency far surpasses us."
"I hope you can give me some advice."
Saladin felt that Zhang Yi was hiding his abilities.
But Zhang Yi had no choice, he really knew nothing.
"I really don't have any relevant information. If I have to say anything, I can only share my guesses."
Now that they are allies fighting together, there are some things they can talk about.
"I think they are looking for something, and that thing is most likely in Chernobyl."
Zhang Yi smiled and looked at Saladin: "What do you think?"
Saladin nodded seriously. "I think so too. Judging from their behavior, this is the closest inference to the truth."
In other words, what Zhang Yi said was just something everyone could guess.
Zhang Yi continued, "Furthermore, the behavior of the mechanical civilization is very strange. From the very beginning, they were indifferent to the existence of humans and did not actively massacre human cities."
"But then, some time ago, they suddenly launched a large-scale provocation against humans, declaring war on them."
Zhang Yi suddenly smiled brightly, "This is very interesting, isn't it?"
Saladin's expression became much more serious.
"Your Excellency is saying that what they are looking for is related to humans?"
Zhang Yi restrained his smile and frowned.
“There is definitely a connection.”
"The vast majority of mechanical civilizations are mechanical life forms, with only a very small number retaining biological characteristics. What they need may be different from what carbon-based life forms need."
Saladin nodded.
"In fact, I have always thought that humans have been developing technology, hoping to achieve immortality through technology."
"Then, by transforming myself into a mechanical life form, I won't have to worry about my body being damaged or aging and leading to death."
"but--"
He took a deep breath, and the two of them turned a corner and continued forward. The light in the passage became dim.
"If we lose the emotions and instincts of a living being of flesh and blood, and lose the ability to experience pain and death, can we still be called human?"
He looked at Zhang Yi and a smile appeared on his face again.
"I wonder if I were to become like them, would I enjoy an endless life, or would I self-destruct from constant collapse?"
Zhang Yi raised an eyebrow: "Who knows? After all, human lifespan is only about a hundred years at most, and there are birth, aging, sickness and death."
The two shook their heads, but were secretly pondering in their hearts.
If you were a member of a mechanical civilization, what kind of desire would you have for your self who could achieve mechanical immortality?
The two chatted casually and soon arrived at the meeting room.
The two officers guarding the door respectfully opened it for them. Zhang Yi and Saladin walked into the conference room side by side. About half of the people inside had already arrived.
