Chapter 477 The City of Hope in Turmoil
When Neo and the others returned to the flying boat, there was only silence.
Everyone was silent, and the crew on the flying ship naturally heard the conversation between Murphys and the others and Fang Zheng. At this moment, they also looked blank.
If, as the man said, the world they live in is still not the real world, then what's the point of their fighting for it till now? In this kind of place like a stinking ditch, living a precarious life. The only source of motivation that can support them is their hope and their struggle.
But now, even all of this is false?
So what are they still fighting for?
Neo didn't say a word, just sat down on the chair, not knowing what he was thinking. And Murphys clenched his fists tightly, muttering to himself, his eyes were red. Seeing the appearance of the two of them, Trinity didn't know what to say. Although she was indeed surprised and surprised by this, she was not shocked too much. After all, she had found the man she loved. For Trinity, it had nothing to do with whether he was the savior or not, but because, He is his own man.
that's enough.
"It's a lie, it must be a lie!"
At this moment, Murphys suddenly stood up and roared loudly. He waved his fist vigorously, with an extremely ferocious expression on his face.
"I don't believe it! It shouldn't be like this! The prophet told me that as long as we find a savior, we will have a way to end all this!!"
"........."
However, no one responded to Murphy's words, and everyone lowered their heads without saying a word. They all gathered here because they believed in Murphys. There are even some people who were rescued from the mother's body by Murphys himself, just like Neo.
But now, they don't know what to do with all this.
If what the man said is true, then...Murphys didn't save them, but just pushed them into hell.
"All in all, we need to get back to Zion as soon as possible."
Trinity finally spoke.
"At present, none of this has been confirmed. We must hand over this information to the committee, and the committee will deal with it..."
"..."
Still no one spoke, but the people who were sitting on the chairs like stone statues started to work like robots. In any case, this at least allows them to stop thinking about these headaches for a while. That's right, they just pretend they didn't hear anything... just go back to Zion...
With this in mind, everyone drove the flying boat towards Zion. For some unknown reason, all the mechanical squids who had been patrolling nearby disappeared without a trace, and they returned to Zion safely along the route. However, when everyone drove the flying boat into Zion, they keenly discovered that something was wrong with the whole city.
"What on earth happened?"
Trinity stood at the window, frowning and staring out. I saw dense crowds of people standing beside the docking platform of the airship. Not only that, Zion, which was originally noisy, now looks like a morgue, dead silent. What are they doing here? Logically speaking, shouldn't Zion be preparing to resist the invasion of the mother now?
"We'll dock at platform two."
Soon, the pilot's voice came, and then the flying ship circled in the air, and then docked steadily. Everyone picked up their luggage weakly, and then walked to the door of the flying ship. And as the cabin door opened, the next moment, they were all taken aback by the scene in front of them.
On the platform outside the flying boat, thousands of people stood there silently, watching them, no one spoke, but the gazes coming from one after another made everyone panic and uneasy for no reason.
"What's going on here?"
At this moment, Neo also got off the airship. Seeing this scene, he was also taken aback, and hurriedly turned his head to look at Trinity next to him and asked. And Trinity just shook her head, and before she could answer, suddenly, a man came out of the crowd not far in front of them.
"Nio...are what you said before... all true?"
"What do you mean?"
Hearing the man's endless questioning, Neo was taken aback for a moment, and at the same time, deep in his heart, a bad premonition suddenly surfaced. And at this moment, someone else stood up next to him.
"That's a lie! We are still living in the mother's womb, it's all fake! This is the real world, right!"
"What's going on! Isn't this the real world? What are we fighting for!"
"This…………"
Hearing the excited inquiries from the crowd, Murphys and the others suddenly changed their expressions. They never thought that the people of Zion would know what happened in the mother's womb! How is this possible? They haven't mentioned this matter to Zion at all! !
"Captain Murphys."
At this moment, several heavily armed soldiers separated from the crowd and walked in. The leading man stared at Murphys with a complicated expression, and then spoke.
"The council wants to see you and your crew, now, immediately."
"..."
Hearing the soldier's order, everyone looked at each other, then dragged their exhausted pace, followed the soldier towards the parliament.
When Murphys and his party came to the parliament hall, it was already full of people, and everyone had different expressions. Some were bewildered, some were fearful, some were desperate, and some even showed anger. Seeing Murphys and the others walk in, they immediately raised their heads and turned their gazes to Murphys.
"Captain Murphys."
Finally, an old congressman spoke first.
"I would like to ask, what exactly did you encounter in the mother's womb."
"..."
Hearing this question from the old congressman, Murphys didn't answer immediately, he glanced around, and then looked away again.
"Before that, I want to know...what happened to Zion?"
"Humph………"
Facing Murphys' question, another female congressman snorted coldly, and then spoke.
"Not so long ago, someone hacked into our host in Zion, and conducted a 'live broadcast' for us... The content is a conversation between you and a man, and a person named Creator... ..."
"what?!"
Hearing this, not only Murphys, but also Neo and Trinity were taken aback. Although they had already had similar speculations before they came to the parliament, they still couldn't help being extremely shocked when they heard it with their own ears. Of course, the three of them can guess who did it without asking. But...why would he do this?
No wonder Zion became what it is now.
After getting the answer, Neo and Trinity exchanged a look. They also know very well that everyone in Zion is like-minded. They always think that they are fighting against the machine army that enslaves humans, and they regard themselves as the party of justice. But if all this is just a "game map" designed by the mother body, then what's the point of their battle? Is their struggle, their determination, their will and even the inheritance of all these just a joke?
"Now, we just want to know one thing! Captain Murphys! What do you know? Are those contents true?!"
At this moment, another congressman couldn't help but slapped the table and shouted. Obviously, looking at him, he couldn't bear it anymore.
Murphys was silent for a long time, then shook his head.
"No, MP, I think those are lies."
"what?"
Hearing this, not only the congressmen, but even Neo and Trinity were taken aback. They looked at Murphys in amazement, not understanding why he said that at all.
"Very simple, Members."
At this moment, Murphys seemed to have finally thought of something, and his expression was no longer as solemn as before.
"I suspect that all of this is just a drama directed by the mother's attempt to destroy our will to resist, rather than the real truth!"
"So, do you have proof?"
"Of course I have evidence!"
Having said this, Murphys suddenly pointed at Neo.
"I think many of you here know Neo, and have even seen his actions in the womb. I think you should remember that Neo, as an extraordinary existence, can easily enter the womb. Vertical and horizontal, flying above the sky. And if this world is also a virtual world, then Neo should also be able to show the same ability! Not only him, but also us, we can all do it in the matrix Seeing some things that we cannot do in reality, and this is the most powerful evidence? If all this is just a virtual world, then we should also be able to break through the shackles of this physical body!"
"This………"
Hearing Murphys' answer, everyone couldn't help but look at each other. As he said, if this is a virtual world, then they should have the same power as in the mother's womb, which is beyond ordinary people. But in fact, here, they have no power.
"In other words, you think the other party is lying?"
"That's right!"
Having said this, Neo is more and more sure of his guess.
"The mother body must be scared! Because it has sensed the existence of the savior, it wants to use this method to completely destroy our will to resist! Even those two people, I doubt they may be a new breed of computer people, not humans ! After all, if it’s just ordinary humans, it’s impossible for them to have that kind of power!”
"..."
Hearing this, the turbulent crowd finally calmed down, and many people let out a sigh of relief. Obviously, they thought what Murphys said was correct.
Or rather, they hope that what Murphys said is correct.
Only Neo still frowned, he always felt that although what Murphys said sounded reasonable, it didn't seem to be enough, and...
"Boom boom boom!!"
Suddenly, at this time, with the sound of hurried footsteps, a man rushed into the parliament out of breath. He pushed open the door, looked at the people in front of him, and then shouted.
"We detected that the mechanical legion is approaching Zion!!"
"what?!"
