"Hello, my friend and I are lost in this desert. Can you give us some help?"
To prevent the other party from not understanding, Flash Shield switched to several languages.
But he still made a mistake in the end.
In the original story, the doctor could still think that what they were speaking sounded somewhat like Vitóri (English) with an accent, but after the emperor unified the continent, he integrated the languages of several major countries, such as Yan, Ursus, Victoria, Gaul, and Iberia, into one.
The common language in mainland China.
The current common language has been used for thousands of years and has undergone many changes. Now, if people still speak those original languages, it will be difficult to understand why.
No one can understand it at all!
Besides Chen Jie.

Chapter 146 High fever, requesting a day off.
Even after taking ibuprofen, my blood pressure was still over 38, and I felt even worse than yesterday. To make a joke, if I went to the hospital, I would be considered asymptomatic.
I really can't type any more words, I'll take a day off first.
I've been lacking confidence in my writing lately. My book collection hasn't dropped too much, and I haven't posted any complaints about plot holes, but the number of new subscribers keeps decreasing. I don't know if readers are holding back the book or abandoning it.
I envy those who get good grades; they have a lot of interaction and can quickly find and fix any problems.
After I recover from my illness, I'll continue writing solo. Hopefully, with more words, I can get a big recommendation and turn things around.
Chapter 147 Translation (Storytelling)
Hearing Flash Shield's English, Hoshiguma, Melantha, and the Rhodes Island crew were completely dumbfounded.
They fall into a certain range where they can occasionally understand a few words, but not understand anything at all.
What is he saying?
“I don’t know, let’s keep being careful.” Black aimed his tactical crossbow at the off-road vehicle behind the Shield of Light. “Although he’s not carrying any weapons, maybe he’s trying to lower our guard, draw our attention, and prepare for his comrades in the vehicle to attack us.”
Due to the language barrier, the situation quickly became tense.
It's like two hunters with guns in a dark forest where communication is impossible, neither daring to be the first to put down their weapon.
“I’ll talk to them,” Chen Jie stepped forward.
Melantha tilted her head: "Can you understand what he's saying?"
"This is Old Victorian, a dialect spoken in the Victorian region before the common language of Terra appeared, as the emperor implemented a policy of standardizing writing," Chen Jie explained to her and the others.
“I took a lot of history and archaeology courses in college, which gave me some exposure to these topics.”
"Friends, explain your origins!" Chen Jie shouted to the armed men opposite him.
He was also wondering... where these people came from.
"While I would like to offer some help to lost travelers, it is better to maintain a safe distance until we understand each other's situation."
Very good!
Flash was incredibly excited; at least the other party could communicate. He quickly said:
“We have no hostility.”
"We are members of the international cooperation organization Rainbow 6, and we were stranded here during a mission."
When they heard the name, they were filled with a mixture of anticipation and fear.
Rainbow Six is a top-tier international counter-terrorism organization. In their world, its reputation is probably higher than that of the United Nations peacekeeping forces, or Blue Helmets for short.
The hope is that these people, perhaps through their biological abilities, can connect them with the organization.
What I fear is...
Perhaps these people are in league with the cyborgs, or perhaps there is something deeper, a black tower so massive it could be a landmark, but one that they don't recognize anywhere else on Earth.
People with all sorts of animal ears, even those who have transformed into beasts, can communicate without any barriers, despite the incomprehensible workings of the mineral engine.
Is this really still Earth?
Rainbow Six... Chen Jie searched his memory, and he had a vague recollection of it, but not much.
Wait a minute! This seems to be a collaboration event.
His thoughts were wandering. If there were crossover events in the Ark world, then what about the Honkai world...?
Asuka? The Angels have attacked!
It's a real headache. Oh well, I'll leave these things to when I actually encounter them, or maybe the smarter ones will handle them themselves.
"Prepare some water and food for them."
Hoshiguma asked, "That's strange. We can't detect any personal terminal accounts on them. Who exactly are they?"
Chen Jie fabricated a background for the other party: "A remnant of a certain Victorian tribe, similar to some feudal tribes in the Sakorta region, who refuse to inject and use personal terminals."
“I see.” Miss Black nodded. “No wonder the other party can’t even speak Common Language.”
Razer added, "The firearms used are also very old models."
"I just don't know how they ended up here."
Adhering to the principle that the more you say, the more mistakes you make, Chen Jie immediately interrupted the conversation within the team:
"This is none of our business. We just need to prepare some water and food, leave them here, and then leave. These remnant tribes have great historical research value."
Hoshiguma praised, "You know so much."
Chen Jie smiled awkwardly and nodded in agreement.
While the Guard Bureau was preparing supplies for them, the members of Rainbow Squad were also exchanging ideas.
Ash asked, "Can you understand them, Kuz?"
Flash head shake.
"The language they were speaking... gave me the feeling that they had grabbed a thousand people from each country around the world, then churned up the brains of these tens of thousands of people, mixed them evenly, and poured them back into their respective brains."
"It was a complete mess. I could occasionally understand a few words. There were traces of various languages, but these languages from different families were mixed together in a way that I couldn't find any rules for."
The tank looked around at everyone: "When we mentioned Rainbow Six earlier, what was the reaction of that blonde cat-eared girl who speaks English?"
"She paused for a moment, then gave a knowing look as if she remembered," Ash analyzed. "If we rule out the possibility that it was an act, she knows about us."
This result brought a sigh of relief to the four of them.
Unlike their relaxed demeanor, Chen Jie's expression was somewhat complicated as he looked at the four people opposite him.
If his memory serves him right... these four people probably won't be able to return to Earth.
How should I tell them about this?
Should we try a roundabout approach, or... a short, sharp pain is worse than a long, drawn-out one!
“Four members of Rainbow Team,” she greeted them, “I have some very unfortunate news to tell you. You’d better be mentally prepared before you hear it.”
Upon hearing this, the four were startled, and all sorts of thoughts arose in their minds.
For example, these orcs aren't going to give them supplies anymore, or the thugs who attacked them earlier were their teammates, and they've been talking to them for so long just to buy time...
"This is not Earth, but a continent called Terra."
"!!!"
"Including you, there should be no more than ten humans on this continent. Or rather, it is the subhumans like us with various animal characteristics who are the mainstream intelligent beings who call themselves humans here."
The four of them, plus a doctor whose existence was questionable and whose very existence was unknown, and to avoid being proven wrong, Chen Jie added five more as a reserve, saying that there would be no more than ten.
The bomb was bigger than they had imagined.
The four of them remained silent for a moment, exchanging whispers among themselves.
Ash suddenly realized a problem:
"If everything you're saying is true, how do you explain how you knew about this?"
“Because I am human!” Chen Jie replied quickly, “or rather, I used to be.”
A hint of wicked amusement stirred within her.
"And he's a man."
"Uh..." The four Rainbow Squad members didn't know what to say, but they were indeed greatly shocked, just like the classic old man's subway phone emoji.
Chen Jie opened the dimensional rift, took out four tubes of personal terminals that had not yet been injected, and walked to the four people's side amidst their wary gazes.
"This world is somewhat like the cyberpunk world in novels and literary works. I don't know if you military elites are aware of this. In short, technological development has stagnated, but the virtual world is highly developed."
"The thing I'm holding is called a personal terminal. It's made of special nanomechanicals. Once injected into the body, it attaches to the nerves and brain throughout the body."
"It sounds dangerous, but the world has been using it for thousands of years, and almost everyone is injecting it. If you have to put it in a way, it's a bit like... a cell phone implanted in the brain?"
……
Chapter 148 Beautiful English Starting with F
"This sounds too expensive." Blitzkrieg was still wary of the four metal tubes.
What if it's some kind of explosive?
Seemingly sensing their concerns, Chen Jie took out another glass jar. The four syringes held between his fingers melted as they dripped into the glass container, turning it into a bowl of mercury-like fluid.
Looking at the somewhat familiar shape, the four members of Rainbow Team suddenly remembered what the mercenaries were transporting on the back of the truck!
"This thing is not expensive at all."
As she spoke, she took out several mechanical artifacts from the dimensional rift. These were items she had collected while scavenging for the SP-2, which she had originally intended to feed to the SP-2. However, the SP-2 was too picky about food; if it ate a technological product once, the increase in technology points would be almost zero.
The remains were thrown into a glass container.
Like ants devouring an elephant, the remains gradually shrank and dissolved in a silvery-white solution.
"As long as there is metal, even if it is ore, the personal terminal can multiply itself."
When the mercury-like liquid in the glass bowl was poured onto the ground, it solidified again, turning into seven terminal syringes.
The debris that was just thrown in was transformed, and three more pieces appeared!
The size also looks a bit bigger. Every time the terminal splits, the principle of rounding is followed. It's better to have a little more than a little less, otherwise the functions will be incomplete.
For example, if the total number of nanorobots is seven, then it splits into seven, and the remaining decimal part is evenly distributed among those seven branches.
"These toys are for you; consider them a gift from fellow Earthlings."
"Whether you get the injection or not is up to you, but let me remind you, without a personal terminal, you'll be practically helpless in this world."
Chen Jie gave several examples:
"For example, maps. People stopped using paper versions of these thousands of years ago. There are also navigation tools, and then there's buying and selling items using credit points, adding friends and sending messages..."
Her words made the Rainbow Squad members understand some things, such as why those crazed mercenaries could coordinate so well without any communication—
So everyone else is communicating in their minds.
The same applies to the situation where no money or paper documents were found during the cleanup afterwards.
After leaving behind the terminal, water, and some food, the Guard Bureau and Rhodes Island personnel departed.
Before leaving, Chen Jie took out a piece of scrap metal from the dimensional rift and used the laser knife on his exoskeleton to carve his friend's QR code onto its surface.
"If any of you have a personal terminal installed, you can add me as a friend using this code. If you need anything, you can contact me on Virtual Terra."
……
First, improve your physical condition.
Because they didn't know what the future held, the four members of Rainbow Team strictly controlled their food and water intake, given how hard-won the supplies were.
Ensure your body has recovered to a certain condition and is capable of fighting.
They were somewhat confused about what to do next.
"Do you believe what that person... the demi-human said?" Ash asked his three teammates first.
“She doesn’t seem to have any reason to harm us,” the tank’s voice came from under the heavy steel helmet. “Otherwise, with their firepower, several exoskeletons, and that flying tank, I don’t think we have the ability to resist.”
Frostflower, however, proposed another possibility:
"Could she and the organization behind her be using us for some kind of experiment?"
