Chapter 3010

Seeing Shi Qiang still hesitating, Captain Zhu Xing let out a sigh.

"Right now the Trisolarans hold an overwhelming advantage... If we really were on their side, we'd have just attacked you the moment we saw you — there'd be no need to explain at all!"

Shi Qiang's eyelid twitched; he had nothing to say in reply.

The next moment, Luo Ji patted Shi Qiang on the shoulder, his expression solemn. "They're right... Also! The hope for saving the world that I mentioned before — it lies with them."

"... I just want to ask one question!"

Shi Qiang's voice was a little hoarse as he stared intently into Luo Ji's eyes. "These guys... are they really Earthlings?"

"They are!"

Luo Ji nodded with a touch of emotion. "It's just... they're not Earthlings from our world, from our era, that's all."

"What?"

Shi Qiang froze for a beat, then realized something, his face flushing crimson in an instant.

Agitated and unable to believe it, he said, "Wait... Brother Luo! You mean they're humans from the future!"

Luo Ji: "..."

Luo Ji's face was blank — when had he ever said that! Even Liu Peiqiang's mouth twitched, startled by Shi Qiang's wild imagination.

But after thinking it over, Liu Peiqiang didn't say anything more.

On his side, the timeline was 2075... Setting aside the differences between the two worlds, he really was a future Earthling.

"You don't need to say it — I get it!"

Shi Qiang earnestly patted Luo Ji's shoulder, his face flushed with excitement. "Future people come to this era! And the very first thing they do is come find you... Brother Luo! Looks like you did something extraordinary in the future... Future people really trust you."

"That's great... The more the people of the future value you! The more it means you've done something remarkable... Maybe it's... this time fighting the Trisolarans, you secured the final victory."

The more Shi Qiang spoke, the more excited he got. Sensing that humanity still had a chance to turn things around, his earlier dejected air vanished in an instant.

And Luo Ji, seeing this, fell into thought.

How had he never noticed before that Shi Qiang's ability to fill in the blanks was this strong.
