c262 261 My Lord, Times Have Changed!
Just now, bad news came from a stronghold belonging to the rebels.
People from the three major companies are calling!
Moreover, the stronghold has been re-occupied.
Nearly half of the rebels stationed there lost their lives.
The rest can only flee in embarrassment.
After all, there is still an extremely intuitive gap in the hard power between the Rebel Army and the three major companies.
How can the rebels make up for the accumulation of hundreds of thousands of years in less than a month?
Even if you don’t talk about the quantity and quality of extraordinary people, the two sides are not on the same level just because of the popularization and application of large-scale thermal weapons.
The rebels are still using single-piece rifles and sniper rifles.
The three major companies directly carry out long-range artillery strikes.
The combat methods of the era of conventional cold weapons are not applicable here at all.
Not to mention, the three major companies actually possess a certain amount of nuclear weapons.
——Don’t forget how the wastes of the past were destroyed.
The radioactive substances that still remain around the abandoned capital are indelible scars.
It is naturally extremely difficult to develop that kind of weapon alone.
However, with the help of the experience of the predecessors, the information and technology handed down, coupled with the long-term efforts of several generations, it may not really be impossible.
Among the three giants, the energy company RG has the most outstanding research in this area.
It has even mastered safe and stable technologies such as nuclear power generation.
The title of “energy” company is precisely because of this.
This can explain-why the energy company has the least number of Transcendents, but it is still difficult to sit firmly in this position.
Any one of the three major companies has the means to completely overturn the table.
This is similar to why world wars rarely break out in modern times.
In case any country breaks the jar, it will almost destroy the earth directly.
In the end, where is the winner?
Therefore, the three major companies have been able to maintain a three-legged pattern so far.
The three giants also established the “Treaty on the Use of Atomic Energy Weapons”, and all declared one after another—”Do not use atomic energy weapons first!”
Also because of this treaty, they did not directly drop nuclear bombs on the rebels, but hid them as a trump card.
This is the real—
My lord, times have changed!
Both Suo Youzi and Du Zuozuo are well aware of this.
No matter what period of war, information and intelligence are extremely critical elements.
And Suo Youzi, who can influence others, has undoubtedly learned these key information from the believers.
And the more you know, the more Suo Youzi can realize the terrifying power behind the three major companies.
It was like three unattainable mountains, overwhelming the civilians in the abandoned capital.
For thousands of years no one tried to overthrow the mountains until they came.
But at such a time, the son of disaster, who was destined to cause disaster, actually used this method to provoke them?
Therefore, even Suo Youzi, who has always had a good temper, was really angry at this moment.
But after getting angry, she couldn’t help feeling helpless in her heart.
The current rebel army really has nothing to do with the opponent.
Just coping with the frequent attacks of the three major companies has left them devastated. How can they have the energy to deal with the son of calamity in the city?
You can’t directly smash the spear of St. Chrysia into the ruined city, right?
Leaving aside whether it can hit the opponent or not, this kind of behavior will undoubtedly be regarded as a provocation by the people of the three major companies.
This leads to more violent retaliation.
At that time, they really can’t sustain it anymore.
“It’s not the way to go on like this.”
Du Zuozuo whispered to himself softly.
During this period of time, they were basically blindly defending, and it was difficult to organize an effective resistance, and the new force was also reduced.
The significant reduction in fresh blood means that the combat effectiveness of the rebel army has declined, and they will not be able to occupy strongholds and influence newcomers as before, and the damage from fighting with the three major companies will continue to increase.
Such a cycle goes on and on, forming a vicious circle that is completely opposite to the previous one.
If it goes on like this, let alone contending with the three major corporations in Waste City.
Reluctantly maintaining the status quo is impossible for them.
“My lord, the Snake Girl said that her superhumans want to see you.”
At this time, Du Zuozuo suddenly remembered something and said in a sullen tone.
“Maybe I want to ask you, what should I do next?”
Another negative effect brought about by the continuous and one after another offensive of the three major companies is that people’s hearts are scattered.
It turned out that because of the great momentum, many people seemed to see the hope of confronting giant companies.
People work and fight with hope and passion.
But the current situation has made more people doubt whether they can survive.
For example, many of the wall-riding factions mentioned earlier have secretly taken refuge in giant companies and become their internal agents.
The strategy of “fifty grains” alone cannot prevent such incidents from happening.
——Although the sacred seed is good, it has to be useful!
This makes the already unoptimistic situation even worse.
But Suo Youzi knew that this could not be blamed for their treachery.
Most people are animals that seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
Since they can rely on themselves for survival, they will also rely on others because of this.
If you want to ask for this, it would be too harsh for a stranger who met by chance to sacrifice his life for Huijiao.
The only ones Suo Youzi could rely on were those extraordinary beings who had been influenced by him personally.
The Snake Girl’s request is actually to hope that Suo Youzi can come forward in person to appease people’s hearts.
By the way, Snake Girl herself has almost been completely transformed into a qualified Huijiao believer, and she is one of Suo Youzi’s most trusted people.
Hearing Du Zuozuo’s words, Suo Youzi nodded, indicating that she already understood.
But at this time, this noble saint’s pretty face was unavoidably a little confused.
It’s like the look on the face when I went to the bathroom alone to eat the buffet and went to the bathroom, and when I came back, I found that the plates and chopsticks had been removed.
It is not difficult to deal with this crisis of laxity.
She only needs to come forward, and she doesn’t even need to use her influence ability. It will make those extraordinary people return to their hearts.
But the problem is that this time it can be solved like this, and it can be done like this next time.
But what about next time?
And there will be a later time.
Could she solve the problem in this way every time?
The answer, obviously, is no.
It is foreseeable that if the decline of the rebel army continues.
The fluctuation of people’s hearts, the betrayal of extraordinary people… There will only be more and more cases like this.
The situation will deteriorate uncontrollably.
To be honest, Suo Youzi is not afraid of failure.
No one can go on smoothly all the time, and failure is a common occurrence in military affairs.
But what she is worried about is what will happen to the people who join the rebels because of her.
People from the three major companies will never have any benevolence towards them.
In Suo Youzi’s view, they died for themselves.
She is also one of the accomplices!
This feeling of guilt kept piling up in Suo Youzi’s heart, forming a pile of depression.
Let her not want to fail here, not to make the sacrifices of those who are dead worthless.
Suo Youzi suddenly thought of the archbishop’s persuasion.
If it was in the past, she would doubt whether she really did something wrong.
But now, the Holy Maiden wants to prove her right!
It was the first time that Suo Youzi had such a strong sense of victory.
She doesn’t want to lose!
She didn’t want the Resistance to stop there!
So, Suo Youzi looked at Du Zuozuo beside him with pleading eyes.
I hope she can make a plan for herself and think of a way to solve this situation.
Du Zuozuo stared straight at Suo Youzi with beautiful eyes, unable to look away for a while.
She sighed in her heart: ‘My lord, something has changed. ‘
As Du Zuozuo, who lived in the Holy Court since he was a child, in fact, before this operation, he had paid his respects to Suo Youzi’s true face several times.
At that time, the Holy Maiden, bathed in the favor of the gods and believers, was in the spotlight.
Demeanor, appearance, temperament…all are perfect.
And it was that perfection that firmly caught Du Zuozuo’s eyeballs and captured her heart.
It made her a complete fan of Suo Youzi, even if she was the dog of the saint, she would be willing.
However, Du Zuozuo couldn’t deny that Suo Youzi at that time always had an insurmountable sense of distance.
The expression on her face seemed to never change, it was always cold.
In the past two months, especially after the establishment of the resistance army, Suo Youzi’s expression became more active and his emotions became more exposed.
Even if you still need to use paper and pen to communicate, it is much better than before.
Right now, it was the first time for Du Zuozuo to see this unwilling and unconvinced expression on Suo Youzi’s face.
Like a competitive little girl.
Although it lost the previous perfection, it seemed more real.
Don’t forget, Suo Youzi herself is just a girl under twenty years old.
Compared with a cold and ruthless sculpture, she is more like a person now.
‘If it weren’t for the side effects of frequent use of abilities, the Holy Maiden would be more…kind and friendly, right? ‘
For some reason, Du Zuozuo suddenly felt his nose sour.
She silently wiped away the moisture from the corners of her eyes, with a feeling of “I raised this child!”
‘Perhaps, it is precisely for this purpose that the archbishop asked the two of us to carry out this operation alone. ‘
Closer to home.
Now, facing Suo Youzi’s eyes, Du Zuozuo felt quite helpless.
If there was a good way, she would have kept it hidden, and she would have told Suo Youzi as soon as possible.
So far, the biggest problem between the two sides is actually the strength gap.
With too much hard power, no matter what kind of strategy, it will not be able to achieve very good results.
No matter what methods they use, as long as the three major companies use material, human, and financial resources to crush them, the rebels will have no chance of winning.
Even though he was very clear about this, since it was Suo Youzi’s request, it was impossible for Du Zuozuo to remain indifferent.
No matter what, we must come up with a decent way.
After thinking for a moment, Du Zuozuo said.
“Right now, perhaps there is only one most effective way to try it out, and that is—”
“To sow dissension!”
Hearing this, Suo Youzi first raised his eyebrows.
In the past, she would never have chosen such an obviously despicable method.
But in this special period, we can only act in a special way.
Seeing Suo Youzi’s acquiescence, Du Zuozuo continued.
“The only advantage we have over the big three right now is — we’re more united.”
“Although the opponent’s forces are powerful, it is obvious that they have distinct factions, and people belonging to different companies fight on their own.”
Suo Youzi thought about it carefully and found that it was indeed the case.
In several small-scale confrontations before, she noticed that the information among the three forces did not seem to be shared, and there was no unified leader.
There are often some ineffective command actions and dispatches.
If you think about it, people from the three major companies will definitely not be convinced by each other. Rather than forcibly blending together, it is better to act independently to avoid disputes.
Because of this, they were given some breathing room.
And as Du Zuozuo said, the three major companies are not monolithic, even in the overall situation, they are in a state of jointly encircling and suppressing the rebels.
From time to time, small conflicts broke out between them.
People from the three major companies would be very happy if they could cause some trouble to their competitors.
What Du Zuozuo had to do was to magnify this conflict and arouse the conflict between them.
This approach may not hurt the company, but at least it can buy some time for the rebels to develop.
It can only be said that it is not a solution.
Suo Youzi pondered for a moment, nodded and wrote on the paper.
[Okay, then do it according to your ideas!
“I will definitely not disappoint the trust of the Holy Maiden.”
Du Zuozuo said respectfully.
But just as she finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.
Boom! Boom!
The strength and rhythm of each knock on the door are unusually similar, as precise as a machine.
Du Zuozuo immediately narrowed his eyes and looked towards the door vigilantly.
In her memory, no member of the rebel army would knock on the door like this.
What’s more, she also ordered before that if there is no urgent matter, don’t bother them.
Because of Suo Youzi’s extremely special status.
She said nothing in the rebel army, no one can defy the will of the saint.
Usually, no one would take the initiative to disturb Suo Youzi and Du Zuozuo’s solitary space.
In the eyes of most of the rebels, that is even a kind of blasphemy.
At this time, the person outside the door is probably an uninvited guest.
But Suo Youzi was not afraid, and even took the initiative to open the door with real light.
Standing outside the door was a stranger they didn’t know at all.
His appearance and clothes are very ordinary, and he belongs to the kind of person who is thrown into the sea of people and can’t be recognized soon.
Suo Youzi and Du Zuozuo can be sure that they have never seen this person in the rebel army.
Then how did he evade the patrols of the guards and come here without their perception?
After careful inspection, Du Zuozuo was shocked to find that this ordinary man…has no breath! ?
It was as if they could clearly catch his presence with their naked eyes.
But in the perception of the spirit, there is nothing there.
It was as if what they saw was just an illusion.
There was one more thing that surprised the two of them.
The man walked into the room with his eyes closed.
next moment.
The man seemed to notice that the door was open, he pursed his lips and smiled, and opened his eyes.
“Hello, honorable saintess of Huijiao.”
“I came here with sincerity.”
His eyes were astonishingly pure black.
