For mankind in the last days, every survivor is a valuable population resource.
In several major catastrophes, large swaths of humanity died. According to previous estimates, even 80% or more of humanity is no longer alive.
As for the less than 20% of humans who have survived to this day, the base is still quite large. After all, the total population of the planet Gaia has reached 20 to 30 billion.
Even if only 10% of the population is left, at least two to three billion humans will survive.
Of course, this number will definitely continue to decrease as the end of the world progresses.
Compared with the Sunshine Age in the last days, the number of abnormal deaths every day increases exponentially.
Not to mention the number of people who continue to die, like the current situation in Cloud City, the survivors are transformed into tree charms by the strange tree through secret methods.
The so-called tree charm is actually the unified name given by the people of Yuncheng to the converted survivors. To put it bluntly, they are actually transformed into the Earth Center Tribe.
Memories and emotions about human beings weaken infinitely until they disappear.
What replaced it was the instinct of the Earth Core Tribe.
Once you become the Earth Core Tribe, you will inevitably fight for the Earth Core Tribe, fight to occupy the surface world, and fight to eliminate humanity.
Seeing Jiang Yue's silence, Hao Yinan was a little anxious and reminded: "Director Jiang, as a defeated general, I may not have much say in how to attack the stronghold. But we must be mentally prepared to deal with those tree monsters. We must be sure of something.
, they are no longer our kind. Even if they look like humans and look like survivors, the blood and instinct in their bones are already that of the Earth Core Race. They are two opposite species to us. They are not our race.
, his mind must be different.”
It is indeed a bit strange for these eight words to be used in this situation. But Hao Yinan's words, I have to admit, are actually quite reasonable.
It is a clear understanding.
"Brother Hao, in Star City, I have fought against the agents of the Weird Tree many times. Not to mention the tree demons, those agents basically no longer belong to the human camp. The agents actually still have human consciousness.
, have human thinking just like us, but they just sit on the position of the Earth Core Clan. The tree demons don't even have self-awareness, so they are naturally not human."
"Yes, so if you want to eliminate the weird trees, you must first not be merciful to these tree charms. If you are merciful because they used to be human beings, you will definitely suffer big losses."
This is Hao Yinan's bloody lesson, and it is naturally extremely profound.
"Brother Hao..."
"Director Jiang, you call me Yinan, or Xiao Hao. I don't dare to call myself brother here. Although I am a few years older than you, the rules are the rules. If you call me brother, the people in the logistics team will
Most likely they will take special care of me. I am just a little apprentice and I don’t want to be special."
Even though Hao Yinan seemed a little out of tune, in fact, this guy was very independent.
When Jiang Yue thought about it, this was indeed the truth, and he was not being pretentious: "Okay, then I'll call you Yinan."
Hao Yinan was very happy to see Jiang Yue's good deeds. He followed the stick and asked: "Then when will we launch an operation against Yangcun Town? That stronghold seems to contain a big conspiracy. If they are destroyed as soon as possible, the defense of Yuncheng will definitely be
Of great significance.”
Jiang Yue smiled and said, "How do you know I haven't taken action yet?"
"Ah? Have you started taking action?" Hao Yinan was a little frustrated when he heard this, "So I'm still too late?"
"Don't be afraid of being late if you have a good meal. Now is the early stage of reconnaissance."
Hao Yinan reminded: "There are many experts here in Star City, but when entering Yangcun Town for reconnaissance, you still have to be careful and don't be fooled by those damn tree charms. These bastards are very well disguised. If you are not careful, you may be fooled by them.
It was a surprise attack."
It can be seen that Yangcun Town and his party dealt a big blow to Hao Yinan and left a big psychological shadow.
As a team that has experienced hundreds of battles in Star City, there is no need to remind you of this.
"Yinan, the suggestion you just made is very good. I would like to ask you to talk about it in both the support brigade and the direct brigade, and tell your personal experience in detail. What do you think?"
Some people don't want to think about that kind of situation. After all, they almost lost their lives. Who wants to think about nightmares again?
Hao Yinan was an exception: "Okay, leave this to me. I have to brainwash everyone. This concept must be deeply rooted in people's hearts. Otherwise, you will suffer big losses if you turn around."
This is also Jiang Yue's idea. Normal people have not experienced the confusion of tree charms and have not experienced such bloody lessons, so it is easy for them to become subjectively contemptuous.
Once you become careless subjectively, you will easily suffer big losses in your actions.
Let Hao Yinan speak out, give everyone a break, brainwash everyone, and give everyone a wake-up call, which is somewhat of a wake-up call.
After all, this is the end of the world, and people's awareness of crisis has generally increased.
Anyone who can survive to this point will not be the kind of silly Baitian who has no sense of crisis or vigilance.
Hao Yinan added: "Director Jiang, this will give rise to a new problem. Maybe there will be some survivors in many places. How to distinguish between tree demons and survivors is also a big problem. If there can be
It would be nice to have some identification method or identification instrument. As the war situation deepens, I always feel that tree demons and various agents will also be mixed into Cloud City. If humans have this kind of identification ability, future battles will be
It will have a certain advantage.”
This is not something Jiang Yue can solve at this stage.
Jiang Yue can do it, Sangou can do it, and a small number of awakened people with special awakening talents should also be able to do it.
But when it comes to inventing any instrument or summarizing a set of common methods, it is obviously not something that can be solved in a short time, and it is not something Jiang Yue has considered.
Hao Yinan also knew that Director Jiang was an outsider who had only been in Yuncheng for a few days. The problems he mentioned were not solved by the landowners in Yuncheng for such a long time.
It is obviously unrealistic to ask Director Jiang to handle these things.
Jiang Yue also knew that Hao Yinan mentioned these things not to embarrass Jiang Yue, but because this guy was impatient and wanted to solve everything at once.
Unknowingly, he regarded Jiang Yue as omnipotent.
Jiang Yue was very steady and followed his own rhythm.
Many people in the direct brigade actually knew about Hao Yinan's almost death.
The support team is all from out of town. Except for the Star City team who came early and knows some inside information, the others don't know much inside information.
Hao Yinan's personal statement, based on his identity and personal experience, really sounded the alarm for everyone and made everyone realize that this battle was full of dangers.
It also gave everyone a certain understanding of this new type of creature, the Tree Charm, and at least left a mark in their hearts. Maybe it’s impossible to be impressed without personal experience, but at least you should be wary. Once you face that kind of situation
, this thought of caution may save a life.
Most people in the direct brigade knew Hao Yinan's identity and heard that he almost died in the battle. However, not many people knew the inside story of the battle in Yangcun Town.
Hao Yinan did not hesitate to show his own experience, which also served as a warning to the direct brigade.
Although the stronghold directly under the brigade is Matougou Forest Farm, the problems encountered in Yangcun Town, who can guarantee that the same will not happen in Matougou.
Each of these strongholds may encounter this situation.
Hao Yinan showed up to speak out, which invisibly brought him closer to the awakened ones.
Originally, everyone thought that he was the son of a great army commander and his status was too high, and there was an invisible barrier brought about by the sunshine era.
I even think that he may be a related household.
Many people who have connections like this join the support team are a little disapproving of it at first.
But after hearing Hao Yinan's story, many people slowly figured out the taste.
This military commander's son really didn't use any backdoors, nor did he do anything special. When he really wanted to risk his life, he really dared to do it!
A military commander who dares to risk his life like ordinary people and can risk his life will undoubtedly make it easy for people to like him. In this way, the psychological rejection will dissipate a lot invisibly, and the distance will be gained unconsciously.
Get closer.
Jiang Yue didn't worry about how Hao Yinan would integrate into the support team.
With Hao Yinan's carefree and funny personality, it is easy to integrate into a new group. What's more, this guy has a good relationship with Tong Feifei, Zuo Wujiang and others, and has long been involved with the Star City team.
Once you establish a good relationship with the Star City team, it will be no problem to support other members of the support team.
That afternoon, while Jiang Yue was writing and drawing on a piece of paper, contemplating how to capture the Yangcun Town stronghold, Liao Chu hurried in outside the door.
"Director Jiang, Yu Yuan is back and a little injured."
Yu Yuan is a warlock who was conquered by Jiang Yue relatively early on. Jiang Yue has been arranged by Jiang Yue to refine the ghost flags in Yin Yuan Apartment and subdue the resentful ghosts and corpse puppets in Yin Yuan Apartment.
It wasn't until Jiang Yue went to find him some time ago that Yu Yuan finally walked out of the darkness into the light.
This time, Jiang Yue sent three people to the Yangcun Town stronghold to spy on the news.
They are Yu Yuan, He Jin and Protector Poisonous Chong.
These three people have one thing in common. Before joining Jiang Yue, they were all loners who preferred to live alone.
Lone Rangers often have one characteristic: they are particularly clever and have strong individual survivability. They can often find a living space in extreme environments.
The Yangcun Town stronghold is now in a very extreme environment. Although Jiang Yue has a large amount of information on Yangcun Town, Jiang Yue still hopes that his men will investigate the latest first-hand information.
The information a person obtains may be biased due to perspective issues.
Therefore, he sent three people out at once.
These three people have extremely strong survivability and top-notch investigative abilities.
In order to ensure that they could successfully complete their mission, Jiang Yue also sent them encouragement and blessings.
One person has a set of stealth skills and slow divine light.
This is a big deal, Jiang Yue can only use shared blessings eight times a day, 24 hours a day.
Each of the three people used it twice, which is equivalent to sending shared blessings six times.
There were only two opportunities to share blessings. For Jiang Yue, it was a certain risk.
This shows how much Jiang Yue attaches great importance to the latest information from Yangcun Town.
But now, there are still at least seven or eight hours before the twenty-four-hour blessing of mutual encouragement expires. Yu Yuan actually returned early and was injured. This is not good news.
Yu Yuan was indeed injured, and the injury looked serious. Although it was not life-threatening, judging from the injuries all over his body, it was obvious that he had been attacked intensively.
"Mr. Jiang, I'm sorry to disappoint you." Yu Yuan saw Jiang Yue coming over and thought that he had fled back in embarrassment without running out 24 hours. He felt a little embarrassed. He felt a little sorry for Jiang Yue.
of importance.
Jiang Yue was very tolerant: "Lao Yu, safety comes first. As long as everyone is fine."
When Yu Yuan heard what Jiang Yue said, he felt a little better. Regardless of his weak state, he explained in detail the situation he encountered in Yangcun Town.
Compared with the smoothness of the poisonous insect protector and He Jin, Yu Yuan is relatively more reckless.
With the help of Zimu Guiban's cover, he quickly went deep into the core area of the Yangcun Town stronghold, trying to find the clues Hao Yinan mentioned.
I have to say that Yu Yuan does have some of the legacy of ancient chivalrous knights who died for their confidants.
He knew that those patterns and characters were the marks of the Geocentric Clan's civilization, which were very important to Jiang Yue and were the key evidence to decipher the secrets of the Geocentric Clan.
Therefore, Yu Yuan wanted to make a great contribution by finding these clues and evidence and handing them over to Jiang Yue.
Driven by this idea of making great achievements, Yu Yuan moved forward too fast, almost as if he was going to the meeting alone.
This relatively reckless way of sneaking in, even if Yu Yuan had the mother-in-law and ghost flags as cover, it was still difficult to guarantee that he would not be discovered.
In the stronghold of Yangcun Town, there are various agents of the Geocentric Clan, tree demons, and various evil monsters. It is obviously unrealistic for Yu Yuan to expect to sneak in quietly without alerting anyone.
Even though he was perfectly hidden, he was still discovered by the evil forces in the Yangcun Town stronghold.
Yu Yuan soon discovered that he was surrounded by evil monsters and tree charms without even realizing it.
Fortunately, during the time when Yu Yuan was lurking in Yin Yuan Apartment, his personal strength improved by leaps and bounds. If the Yu Yuan was the same when Jiang Yue was defeated in the first place, facing this kind of siege, he would probably be disappointed on the spot.
Now Yu Yuan's personal combat power has not only improved, but his mother-in-law ghost flag has also become his protective treasure.
After a bloody battle, Yu Yuan inevitably suffered some injuries. Fortunately, with the protection of the mother-in-law ghost banner, Yu Yuan escaped from the heavy encirclement with the help of the cover of the gloomy ghost energy.
The most disgusting thing is that Shu Mei was able to use his injuries to pinpoint his latest location and catch up quickly.
This made Yu Yuan very depressed. Originally, he didn't want to retreat, but every time he got rid of his pursuers, he would soon be surrounded by tree demons and evil spirits emerging from new places.
Only then did Yu Yuan suddenly realize that if he entered the territory of the Weird Tree, any injuries left on his body would leave trace clues for the other party.
As a result, Yu Yuan was always being pursued. After several bloody battles, he finally escaped from the Yangcun Town stronghold and came back to report to Jiang Yue.
As for He Jin and the poisonous insects, they had sneaked in from different directions, and Yu Yuan had no idea what their situation was.
