Compared with the outside world, Daozi Lane Villa is as peaceful as ever. It is completely isolated from the bloody storms of the outside world.
After entering the Daozi Lane Villa, you will feel a sense of stability.
The group of people returned to Villa No. 9 and were all very happy.
This is not the first time for everyone here to come back to Villa No. 9. Their memories of Villa No. 9 are all perfect.
Coming to Villa No. 9 means there is a big meal to eat.
In these strange times, feasting has a huge appeal to everyone.
Although the research by Kangaroo Da Lao and others has entered a bottleneck period, the research that needs to be done still needs to continue.
But since Jiang Yue is here, Mr. Kangaroo and others naturally want to meet and exchange the latest developments. Including what happened in the past few days.
Gao Jiayu and others were very happy to learn that in the battle the night before yesterday, the wings of the Weird Tree were cut off and all the agents were almost wiped out.
As they pay close attention to the situation in Star City, they naturally know the general situation of Star City now and know that the strange tree is the number one enemy facing Star City now.
All the research they are doing now is clearly pointing to the strange tree.
With its wings cut off, at least the strange tree will have its hands and feet tied up if it wants to cause trouble in the surface world.
This invisibly means buying more time for their research. As long as the evolutionary path of the strange tree does not go so smoothly, it means that they have more time to study ways to deal with the strange tree.
After all, Mr. Kangaroo has seen the big world, but he doesn't feel much joy or relief about it.
"It's a good thing, but it's not worth being so happy about." Mr. Kangaro poured cold water on him.
Gao Jiayu asked carefully: "Without these agents, it won't be that easy for the weird tree to become a monster on the surface world, right?"
"That's what I say, but it's not as difficult as you think for the Weird Tree to train new agents. In this world, there are not many humans who are willing to listen to it."
"That's not possible, right? Working for the Geocentric Clan, doesn't that mean being a traitor to humanity?" Cui Zili was a little unsure.
The old kangaroo rolled her eyes. She was not even interested in responding to such childish remarks.
If it were Jiang Yue in the past, he would agree with Cui Zili's point of view. Even if there are some scum in human beings who have no bottom line, they should only be a very small number.
But from what he saw and heard these days, he found that he was still too naive.
We are all human beings, and there are huge differences in concepts between people.
Some people seek refuge in the strange tree, perhaps just to find more living space, purely for survival.
Some people seek refuge in the strange tree in order to become stronger and to get what they want through power.
But there is also a group of people who don't need it for any reason. They just want to confront other human beings. Out of a revengeful mentality.
This kind of people have been more or less beaten by life in the sunshine era, suffered a lot of anger, and accumulated a lot of negative emotions.
When the weird era comes, their revengeful mentality explodes. As long as it can bring misfortune to other humans, what's the point of being the lackey of the weird tree?
What's the fate of mankind, what's the crisis of destruction, what does it have to do with them?
In fact, they believe in their bones that if everyone is finished and destroyed, that would be happy.
It's a great feeling to see human beings dying under their revenge.
Even if they don't end well in the end, that doesn't matter.
They don't pursue any future at all. What they want is for other human beings to struggle in pain and perish in despair.
What they enjoy is the feeling of licking the pain of others.
Hearing other human beings wailing for mercy, hearing other human beings screaming in pain, they will have a feeling of enjoyment in their bones.
Many of the agents of the Weird Tree fall into this category.
As there are fewer and fewer survivors, as the resources left behind by the Sunshine Era become fewer and fewer, and as the strife among survivors becomes more and more serious, there will definitely be those who are proud and those who are frustrated.
When those frustrated people, even desperate people, encounter the olive branch thrown by the strange tree, can they refuse it?
There is almost no resistance.
Although Mr. Kangaroo has never fought with an agent, he has never been on the front line of any battle, and he has not even communicated with any agent.
However, Boss Kangaroo was once the boss of that weird organization. He had a very high status and had access to a lot of inside information.
Therefore, Mrs. Kangaroo understands human nature.
Even in the Sunshine Age, aren't those people who are willing to join that weird organization the same type of people?
When they are dissatisfied in real life, their negative emotions are rampant and their revengeful mentality is extremely serious.
If not, joining their weird and evil organization in Sunshine Times is essentially anti-official and subversive of society.
Why do so many people flock to it?
Those who were willing to join that underground organization in the strange era would never refuse the olive branch of the strange tree.
Maybe it's not that they don't know that once they fail, the consequences will be disastrous.
They also know that choosing this path is a road of no return.
But they still joined without hesitation.
Is it just the temptation of interests? There is no denying that the temptation of interests has indeed led a group of people to make such a choice.
But there are also a group of people who are not necessarily just for profit.
Cui Zili was a little embarrassed and wanted to seek recognition: "Senior Sister Gao, do you think there are so many people who look down on themselves and don't do good things, but become accomplices of the weird tree?"
Although Gao Jiayu is also from Star City University, she is slightly older and has been in the society for two or three years. Compared with Cui Zili, she will undoubtedly have richer life experience and less of the bookishness of students.
"Zili, think about why there were so many traitors during the Anti-Japanese War. I think what Teacher Kangaroo said makes sense. Agents are like weeds. If you kill one group, a new one will surely grow.
Wild fire, in spring."
Gao Jiayu said, smiling at Jiang Yue and nodding: "Junior Xiao Jiang won't blame me for pouring cold water on you and dampening your enthusiasm, right?"
Jiang Yue smiled: "Senior Sister Gao is serious. In fact, my point of view is the same as yours. It is impossible to kill all the agents. Killing those agents will only make it impossible for the Weird Tree to calmly operate in a short period of time.
Wreaking havoc in the surface world and becoming a monster."
"That's true. Without an agent on the surface to protect it, it's difficult for this weird tree to cause any big waves in a short period of time."
Jiang Yue said worriedly: "I got some information from several agents before. The Weird Tree recently issued an order for agents to investigate the major survivor bases in Star City. Obviously, the Tentacles of the Weird Tree
They plan to reach out to the survivor base and train more agents. They even plan to encourage most of the survivors to go there."
Cui Zili couldn't help but said: "There are not many survivors who can survive to this day who are fools, right? If you go to work for the Earth Center Clan, isn't that just trapping yourself in a cocoon and digging a hole to bury yourself?"
"It will definitely not be able to win over most of the survivors. But if we make an assumption, if there are two to three million survivors in Star City, even if one or two of them are bewitched by him out of a hundred, the total will be very terrifying.
"
Let the data speak for itself and everything becomes clearer.
There must be 2 to 3 million survivors in Star City. You must know that in the Sunshine Era, Star City also had a population base of 20 million.
Even if only two out of ten survived, there would still be four million.
Taking away all the internal friction among the survivors, a conservative estimate would be between two and three million.
According to this ratio, if two to three million survivors were recruited by the Weird Tree, even one or two percent would be a very terrifying number.
Hundreds of agents brought a storm to Star City and made people panic.
If this happens another hundred times, how can we prevent it?
You must know that agents are different from survivors. Survivors are scattered in every corner of Star City, with tens of thousands in large bases and three to five hundred in small bases.
Different survivor bases occupy a territory, and they even fight each other for resources, ostracizing each other.
Things like unity can only be thought about on paper.
It is almost impossible to unite the survivors.
And tens of thousands of agents, under the control of the strange tree, can be twisted into a rope, at least to achieve superficial unity.
Once tens of thousands of people unite, the destructive power will be considerable.
It is entirely possible to even destroy the entire Star City structure.
After all, the scale of tens of thousands of people is already a bit exaggerated.
Cui Zili still couldn't figure it out: "Even if there are so many spineless survivors, it won't be easy for the Weird Tree to cultivate them in a short time, right?"
"It's not difficult, it's different from training hundreds of agents in the past. At the beginning of the weirdness, most people didn't awaken in time, and their combat effectiveness was almost zero. But now, the survivors who can survive are basically awakened ones.
, the foundation is very high, Weird Tree does not necessarily have to spend too much time cultivating their strength. What he has to do is to brainwash them and make them believe in its way. And then give them some sweetness and hope. These people
It is easy to form combat effectiveness and cohesion."
Cui Zili sighed: "If it were all these spineless bastards, mankind would be completely finished. Fortunately, most people still have a bottom line."
The kangaroo boss said impatiently: "Most people have a bottom line, but this bottom line will also change over time. It doesn't make much sense to say that far away now. Dealing with agents is just treating the symptoms rather than the root cause, which may be weird.
The tree is very willing for you to do this."
Gao Jiayu was puzzled: "The weird tree is willing? Where to start?"
After all, it’s not that easy to train agents. Killing a group of them is just like killing the Weird Tree. Logically speaking, there’s no reason why the Weird Tree would be willing, right?
"Isn't this simple? If you focus all your attention on the agent, you will inevitably have no time to pay attention to the strange tree. It secretly hides in the dark and develops obscenely. You think the agent is the accomplice of the strange tree. Maybe,
Are they simply pawns of the strange tree that confuses people?"
The kangaroo boss is indeed a boss, and his words are astonishing.
Even Jiang Yue was a little surprised by the statement he mentioned. This was an aspect that even Jiang Yue had not considered.
Seeing the doubtful look in everyone's eyes, the kangaroo boss said calmly: "It's hard to guess the thoughts of the superiors. I'm just analyzing the possibilities from the perspective of the weird tree. It may not necessarily be right, but it's not necessarily right either.
That’s not right. Whether this is the case or not is up to you to judge for yourself. I’m in the laboratory and can’t help you make the judgment.”
Jiang Yue sighed: "Ginger is still hotter than old. The words of Mr. Kangaroo were really enlightening and made me wake up from a dream."
"Why don't you speak human language anymore?" Mr. Kangaroo thought Jiang Yue was flattering.
Jiang Yue smiled and said: "I'm telling the truth. The words of Mr. Kangaroo really opened up another perspective of thinking."
Han Jingjing felt sad and sighed: "If this is the case, the castle of this strange tree is too deep and terrifying. We thought that it would hurt its muscles and bones, but maybe to it, it is only the equivalent of a small
A small scratch?"
Tong Feifei also murmured: "If this is really the trick played by the weird tree, then this city is really scary. Thinking about it from another perspective, our current situation may be much more pessimistic than imagined?"
There was a look of worry on everyone's faces.
According to what Mr. Kangaroo said, the strange tree game is too big.
It would be an understatement to say that all human beings have been manipulated by it.
On the contrary, Jiang Yue was extremely calm at the moment.
"Even if the agent is just its cover and cannon fodder, our inference is valid for the time being. But the basic logic is that in order for the strange tree to evolve, it needs spiritual sources. If the agent is destroyed, the supply of spiritual sources will definitely be affected.
Influence. Therefore, no matter how weird or unpredictable the game of Weird Tree is, it cannot get around this basic logic."
After hearing this, everyone's expressions softened a little.
Jiang Yue continued: "It may have its layout and its conspiracy. We have no choice now, and we must firm up our rhythm and not fall into its rhythm or be led astray by it."
The more times like this, the more you need to calm down.
The kangaroo boss obviously had no intention of teaching them how to make decisions. He waved his hand and said calmly: "My position is in the laboratory. As for how you operate outside, I am beyond my ability. Okay, enough gossip, Xiao Gao
, you guys follow me back to the laboratory."
I have reminisced about old times and learned the information that I need to know.
Gao Jiayu, Cui Zili and others looked at Jiang Yue apologetically, and followed the kangaroo boss to get up and prepare to leave.
The old kangaroo in front suddenly remembered something: "By the way, the patterns and characters of the Geocentric Tribe you mentioned before, I think of an old friend. He is an expert in archeology, and I remember he once showed it to me.
I have seen some strange characters and patterns, saying that this may be an unprecedented discovery in the archaeological world. These characters and patterns are somewhat similar to what you just showed..."
