No matter how vicious a person is, he will always have a weakness deep in his heart.
What's more, not all of the agents of the Weird Tree are truly evil, and the vast majority of people cannot completely eliminate their conscience.
Compared to the group of tyrants who ravaged Crescent Harbor Community last time, Tong Jiangnan is not necessarily more cruel.
Tyrants are typical representatives of completely dehumanizing and antisocial personalities.
And neither Tong Jiangnan nor Tang Pan could be as bad as a tyrant and have no bottom line.
At least, in Tong Jiangnan's heart, family is still a knot that he can't get around after all.
Although, he has no confidence at all about the current condition of his family and whether they are alive.
But just like Jiang Yue said, if the family is still alive, just like these survivors at Crescent Harbor Base.
And as a villain, by invading the base, doesn't it mean that he is indirectly waving a butcher's knife at his own family?
If Tong Jiangnan has always been mentally tough and not allowed to be disturbed by the outside world, then at this moment, there is finally a crack in his psychological defense.
When Jiang Yue mentioned his family and aroused his deep feelings of missing his family, his psychological defense was finally broken.
Tong Jiangnan let out a long sigh, and for the first time there was a hint of sincerity in his eyes, and said slowly: "Jiang Yue, I must admit that Crescent Harbor Base, and even the entire Star City, are lucky to have a rebel like you.
.”
Jiang Yuedan said: "Do you think I am the only one? I believe that there must be many people like me in the entire Dazhang Kingdom, who have not compromised and have been working hard. As long as there is still a glimmer of hope for mankind, we should urgently
Hold on tight and don't let this remaining glimmer of hope slip away."
Tong Jiangnan nodded and did not argue, but said: "Haha, it is easier said than done to seize this glimmer of hope? However, regardless of my position, I admire you people from the bottom of my heart. Sometimes I even think,
If I am so lucky and stand on your side for the first time, maybe I will be like you and do everything possible to protect this glimmer of hope. I believe that if you are so desperate, there must be a reason why you must fight so hard.
, there are people and things you particularly want to protect, right?"
"If you say that, I won't object." Jiang Yue did not deny this.
Tong Jiangnan showed a wry smile: "Unfortunately, I took the wrong path from the beginning and walked on the opposite side of you. When I had no ability to choose or judge, I had already made a choice. This is probably the case with us.
The greatest tragedy.”
"The ending has not yet been determined. Whether it is a tragedy or a drama, it is hard to say."
"No, for you, it's really hard to say. For us, the tragedy is already doomed." Tong Jiangnan shook his head.
"So after all that, you are still unwilling to fight?" Jiang Yue frowned, a little angry and refused to fight.
He could tell from Tong Jiangnan's tone that he must be unwilling and regretful.
But apart from unwillingness and regret, Jiang Yue did not feel Tong Jiangnan's strong will to fight.
In other words, Tong Jiangnan may have resigned himself to his fate, but he also felt resigned and had no will to fight.
Jiang Yue tried his best to keep Tong Jiangnan from killing him, not just to make Tong Jiangnan accept his fate. He still hoped to inspire Tong Jiangnan's fighting spirit and launch a counterattack against the strange tree.
Even if you are destined to die in the end, why can't you fight before you die?
Tong Jiangnan said with a heavy tone: "Mr. Jiang, I'm sorry. If possible, I really want to be friends with you and charge with you. Unfortunately, this is destined to be impossible to achieve."
"However, now that things have happened, I can no longer sacrifice my life for it. Although I can't help you charge into battle, I can still tell you some secrets. These secrets are unknown to others. This is my kindness to you.
The final reward."
Seeing that Jiang Yue still wanted to persuade him, Tong Jiangnan waved his hand: "Listen to me, there is no need to persuade me. Our ability comes from it. As long as we have a little hostility towards it, it can easily make us lose our strength, or even make us lose our strength."
We were wiped out. So, you want me to fight back. This is a good idea, but unfortunately it is destined to not be realized."
"So, let's talk about something a little more realistic."
Once Tong Jiangnan put down his psychological defense, his whole state suddenly relaxed, as if he had finally reconciled with the past, and his mentality became very calm.
Jiang Yue saw Tong Jiangnan's attitude and knew that what he said was true.
A twisted melon is not sweet.
What's more, as Tong Jiangnan said, his ability comes from the strange tree, so it is very unlikely and meaningless to expect him to fight back in person.
Then let’s talk about something more realistic.
Tong Jiangnan's tone became mysterious: "Mr. Jiang, you call it the weird tree and you know its origin, right?"
"The Geocentric Tribe, in the last era, may have been a species of this planet. Now, in the new era, they still want to consider themselves the masters. They plan to take back control of the planet from humans, eliminate humans, and realize their ambition to regain control of the earth.
.”
Tong Jiangnan nodded: "That's generally true, and you also know that the Geocentric Tribe is still unable to adapt to the surface environment, right?"
"These are no secrets anymore."
"So, do you know that the weird tree you talk about is the only one?"
Is it the only one?
Jiang Yue has also considered this question, but until now, he has not answered it.
Tong Jiangnan said seriously: "As far as I know, the one in Star City is just one of them, not the only one."
"Oh? How do you know? Did it tell you personally?"
"Of course it won't tell me, but I will observe secretly."
"What did you observe?"
"I guess that there should be twenty-eight strange trees on the entire Gaia planet. They are entrenched in twenty-eight areas. With each stronghold as the core, they continue to expand and control the territory. Eventually, they will assimilate the entire surface world, allowing
The environment of the surface world becomes suitable for the survival of the Geocentric Tribe. At that time, the Geocentric Tribe’s army will truly invade the surface. At that time, human beings will completely become prey, and even become a plague disaster in the eyes of the Geocentric Tribe, just like
In the eyes of humans, these are the meanings of cockroaches, mosquitoes, mice, and flies. In short, from the perspective of the Earth Center Tribe, they are the masters of this planet, and humans are just a trouble that grew up in this era..."
If Tong Jiangnan hadn't said this in a calm tone, Jiang Yue might not be able to suppress his emotions after hearing this.
Because, from a human point of view, this kind of statement is too harsh and can easily anger humans. It is impossible for any human being to accept this statement.
In human cognition, we have gone through a long road of evolution and a long road of civilization, and finally developed to the top of the ecological chain, become the master of this planet, and become the undisputed master of this planet.
How can human beings accept the hegemonic logic of the Geocentric Clan?
Why are humans a trouble for this planet? Or even a plague disaster?
This is simply unreasonable!
"I'm curious, how do you agents convince yourselves to accept the overbearing logic of the Geocentric Clan?" Jiang Yue couldn't help but ask.
Tong Jiangnan shook his head: "We have never accepted this statement from the beginning to the end. It's just that based on our ability and situation, we can't refute it at all. Moreover, the weird tree will not tell us this personally. It is actually very wise.
, has been using all kinds of chicken soup to appease us, stabilize us, and even paint a pie for us, saying that even if the Earth Center Race regains control of the planet, they will help us evolve into new life forms instead of so-called human beings.
.”
"There is a lot of nonsense, and there is an old saying that goes, the rabbit will die and the dog will be cooked. When that day comes, you will not be a new life form. At most, you will become an ornamental object like the animals in the zoo to humans. Or,
There is only a dead end."
Even now, Tong Jiangnan does not deny Jiang Yue's judgment.
It is absolutely impossible for the Geocentric Tribe to allow humans to exist. Their purpose is to regain control of this planet.
Human beings are an existence that they are hostile to and the biggest threat to their control of this planet. How could the Earth Center Tribe allow humans to exist?
"Mr. Jiang, I don't want to use the little time I have left to debate this with you. Maybe you are right. When that day comes, the Geocentric Tribe will never leave us alone."
"So, no matter what your position is, I really can't think of any reason for you to follow the strange tree all the way to the dark side."
"Perhaps, this is the mentality of muddling along. People who were traitors during the war may also have such thoughts."
Jiang Yue sighed after hearing this.
This is the reality. If someone resists, someone must surrender.
Even though I know that surrender will not yield good results in the end, I still can't resist the temptation of surrender.
At least he surrendered, and now he can live a good life and survive.
"Mr. Jiang, I know that you have never given up on dealing with the strange tree, but it has never been smooth and you have never been able to deal a fatal blow to it, right?"
This is not a secret. Jiang Yue did not deny it, but nodded slightly to express his approval.
"If you keep doing this for three to five years, you still can't win. Do you believe it?"
Jiang Yue didn't believe this.
"It is very strong and weird, but our knowledge is not immutable. Just because we can't find its fatal weakness yet, doesn't mean it doesn't exist."
"Yes, there must be. It cannot survive on the surface for a long time, or even move freely in the surface world. This is its weakness. At least for now, it is its weakness."
"And you have indeed found some ways to delay its evolution. I have to admit that everything you have done has indeed hindered its evolution. It has also indeed disrupted its rhythm and made it
Be furious and make it hate you to the core."
"However, even if you do all these things right, it will only slow down the speed and process of its evolution, and will not completely cut off its path of evolution. Originally, it might only take ten or eight days, but with your obstruction and harassment, maybe it will
It may take a month or three months. But in the end, it has been evolving. If it cannot be solved from the root, it will only delay the occurrence of tragedy."
"Taking a step back, even here in Star City, you have done a perfect job and made it difficult. There is nothing you can do about it. But what about other places? Twenty-eight strongholds, twenty-eight weird trees. Are there Jiang in other places?
People like Mr.? Can you ensure that every stronghold can be strictly defended? As long as there is a breakthrough in one place, it will lead to another place. Each stronghold will continue to drive, and even lead to a breakthrough in the entire system.
At that time, everything you do in Star City is in vain. Other strongholds can lead Star City to complete the breakthrough in minutes, or even cover it directly, so what can you do?"
It's like a fire. It starts on one floor. If no one puts out the fire, it will quickly spread to other floors.
It is almost foreseeable if the fire is not controlled and is allowed to spread, eventually spreading to the entire building.
This news really shocked Jiang Yue.
Before, Tong Jiangnan said that he would provide some information and say something useful, but he was still a little skeptical.
But speaking out this information really shocked Jiang Yue.
The most important thing is that he observed through voyeurism that Tong Jiangnan can be regarded as a dying man at the moment, and his words are also good.
What he said was honest and honest from the bottom of his heart, without any exaggeration or exaggeration.
I originally thought that the situation in Star City was already difficult enough.
After hearing the news, Jiang Yue realized that what was really serious was not just the predicament of Star City in front of him.
Just like Tong Jiangnan said, if all the other strongholds on the entire planet fell, would this corner of Star City still be safe?
Under the nest, there are no eggs left intact.
After all, Star City cannot be alone and cannot become a utopia free from the world.
"Therefore, Mr. Jiang, what you have to deal with is not just the weird trees in Star City. What you have to face is the changes in the entire Gaia planet, especially the Geocentric tribe that is ready to move deep in the core of the earth.
As long as the twenty-eight strongholds are covered and the transformation of the surface world is completed, the Geocentric people will flood back to the surface world. Once that time comes, it will be the real end of mankind."
"Twenty-eight strongholds, do you have any conclusive evidence?"
"I said, this is what I observed and speculated. Of course, all this can be evidenced. Whether I just spoke nonsense, you still have time to collect evidence."
Jiang Yue didn't doubt that Tong Jiangnan was telling lies at this point.
"Apart from this, are there any more clues? For example, their real weakness?"
Tong Jiangnan smiled bitterly: "They regard humans as natural enemies, and using us as agents is nothing more than a tool. Do you think they will show us their weaknesses? Even if they do, they must do their best to conceal them, and they will never be exposed.
We peek. However, I judge that in order to find a way to deal with them, we must ultimately start from the place where they live and start from the root."
