Chapter 587: Trust
Chu Tianjiang didn't kill Hawke, and he didn't want to kill the Resistance, he just wanted Hawke to know that he and Iska were not enemies of the Resistance.
The most powerful way to persuade is to show great strength.
Of course, Chu Tianjiang did not go on a killing spree, which is enough to show their sincerity.
Subsequently, in order to win Hawke's trust, Chu Tianjiang also asked the Resistance's doctor, the young man, to do a genetic test for him and Iskar to confirm that they were not the concoctors. Although Hawke was no longer hostile to Chu Tianjiang, he did not fully trust Chu Tianjiang because of this.
There was a commotion, and Hawke led the people to the cave inside.
"They're figuring out what to do with us."
Chu Tianjiang stroked Iska's head, with Iska, the others had no secrets to speak of here.
"Most people don't want us to stay, only Soya thinks we should stay, and Hawke is a little hesitant and hasn't made a decision yet."
"Iska, that's enough."
"Brother Chu......"
"It doesn't matter what they think, and I can tell from their expressions what they think." Chu Tianjiang smiled and said through his consciousness, "I don't want to stay either." It's just that we need to know the enemy, and at the moment, it seems, it is possible to get useful intelligence here. ”
Iskar nodded, indicating that he understood what Chu Tianjiang meant.
Prior to this, Iska had learned enough about this world through resistance fighters, and had told Chu Tianjiang all this information.
The Resistance is in an extremely difficult situation, and the key is energy.
Although in the field, the Resistance was able to obtain food and even arrange for people to go to nearby towns and towns to obtain some necessities of life, the most critical energy source, that is, the energy body, was strictly controlled, and it was difficult for the Resistance to obtain and develop.
In this world, energy is more important than anything else.
If nothing else, the weapons used by the Resistance are all powered by energy bodies. Also, the scientific and technological equipment of the Resistance Army also needs energy bodies.
Without the Energy Body, the Resistance would have to live like a primitive man.
Obviously, the resistance poses very little threat to the occupying forces.
It is precisely for this reason that most of the Resistance's attacks are directed at energy bodies, and they mainly ambush convoys that transport energy bodies outside the city.
It is a pity that the losses from the raid were much greater than the gains.
Taking this attack as an example, among the dozens of resistance fighters involved, only Suo Ya survived, and was rescued by Chu Tianjiang. If it hadn't happened to run into Chu Tianjiang, the attacking team would have been wiped out. As long as the attack fails, nothing can be gained. In the past year, a similar attack has been successful once out of ten times, and even if it does, the amount of energy gained is extremely limited.
Of course, there is nothing surprising about this.
Resistance fighters are ordinary people, and even if they have some advanced weapons against the contortionists, they are definitely no match for the occupying forces.
In a head-to-head battle, none of the ten Resistance fighters will be able to defeat a single Modulator.
The difficult situation has shaken many resistance fighters.
In a sense, the Resistance is already at the end of its rope.
It's not just this resistance led by Hawke, it's all the resistance on the northern continent as well. In another year and a half, all resistance forces will be gone.
After a while, Hawke and Soya rushed over.
With Iska, Chu Tianjiang already knew about the decision they had made.
"Chu, we have decided on ......"
"I know when to leave?"
Hawke was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Soya.
What began to happen had already made Hawke realize that Chu Tianjiang and Iskar had extremely strong superpowers, and could even control other people's spiritual consciousness.
Apparently, Hawke had no reason to doubt that Iska was able to read the minds of others directly.
Soya sighed secretly and said, "We'll leave tonight and arrive tomorrow morning." If all goes well, the convoy will be ambushed tomorrow afternoon. ”
"Let's go with everyone."
"Together?"
Chu Tianjiang nodded and said, "According to the information you obtained, it was a very large convoy, and it must have transported a lot of energy bodies, right?" ”
"This ......"
"When the time comes, it is obvious that enough people will be needed to carry the energy body, and it must not be left to the enemy."
Hawke was originally a little hesitant, thinking that this was a trap set by Chu Tianjiang, and he wanted to lead them into a trap and catch them all again. But then I thought that if Chu Tianjiang wanted to deal with them, he would kill them all in the first place, and there was no need to make it so complicated.
"Hawke?" Soya looked over at Hawke.
Hawke nodded and said, "Except for those kids, everyone else goes." If the attack is successful, we will have enough energy for at least the next year. ”
Chu Tianjiang secretly smiled bitterly, the leader of this resistance army was obviously a man with no ambitions.
Of course, Hawke can't be blamed for this.
In such a difficult environment, it is not easy for him to persist and lead this team, and he is just an ordinary person. In another position, if Chu Tianjiang is also an ordinary person and leads a resistance army, he may not do better than him.
Resistance fighters sprang into action in preparation for their departure.
Chu Tianjiang and Iska were not involved in the preparations, and they didn't need to prepare anything.
Attacking the transport convoy of the occupying army was not at all challenging for Chu Tianjiang and Iska. Even if Chu Tianjiang doesn't come out of the horse, Iska can handle it. Don't forget, Iskar had acquired the superpowers of the Church Patriarchs, and Holmes. As long as she wields her superpowers, she will be able to control the minds of those who modulate them, and even make the officers and soldiers of the occupying forces serve the resistance.
While the others were preparing, Chu Tianjiang left the cave with Iska.
After a while, Soya followed.
"Chu, what started ......"
"I understand." Chu Tianjiang glanced at Suoya and said, "If I were Hawke, I would also be wary of strangers who suddenly appeared. ”
Soya sighed. "If you understand, I'll apologize to you on their behalf."
"There's no need for that."
"Actually, something similar has happened before." Soya bit her lip. "The occupying forces sent people disguised as civilians to attack us from within. A lot of people died, and we had to move the station. This time, it was indeed Hawke who did not do it right, and you are not enemies after all. ”
"You trust me so much?"
"If you're an enemy, you'll attack when you reach the station, and you won't give us the slightest chance."
Chu Tianjiang smiled and said, "Okay, I accept your apology." ”
"You ......"
"I know that you, at least Hawke, are still suspicious of me and Iska. In fact, even you can't be sure if we're enemies or not, because we, like the occupying forces, have great superpowers, and you're just ordinary people. ”
Suoya was silent, what Chu Tianjiang said was the truth.
"Of course, you know very well that if the Resistance is to survive, to defeat the enemy, it is not enough to rely on these people now. The enemy is very powerful, so if you want to become stronger, to have superpowers that are more powerful than the enemy, you need people like me. ”
"Can you give us superpowers?"
Chu Tianjiang smiled reluctantly and said, "The key is not whether I can or not, but whether you trust me and whether you are willing to accept me and Iskara." ”
"You promised to join the Resistance?"
"I didn't say yes."
"But ......"
"We have a common enemy, and if we can build a relationship of mutual trust, I would be happy to help you and make you stronger."
Suo Ya bit her lip, Chu Tianjiang's words had actually given her a promise.
From another point of view, what Chu Tianjiang said also made Suoya realize a problem. That is, the Resistance had to adapt to the new environment, and it had to make changes for the new environment. While the Resistance adheres to tradition, it is meaningless if it does not adapt to the new environment. To put it more thoroughly, only by defeating the enemy, only by achieving victory, can they turn the ideas they adhere to into reality. If you lose this fight, not only will you not change anything, but you will not even be remembered.
Soya wanted to say something, but Hawke came out with the resistance fighters.
Hawke's resistance fighters led the way, and the march was not very fast, but it was not very slow. Chu Tianjiang did not rush the main road, this attack was arranged by Hawke himself, he and Iska only participated, and assisted the resistance group to seize the energy body.
Along the way, Hawke deliberately kept a distance from Chu Tianjiang.
Although Hawke didn't say anything, his thoughts had long been known to Iska, a very normal thought.
That is, if Chu Tianjiang proved with his actions that he was not an enemy of the Resistance, then his existence posed a serious threat to Hawke's position. His superpowers, as well as his knowledge of the enemy, make him better suited to lead the Resistance, while Hawke is just an outdated leader.
Of course, Hawke had such thoughts, or worries, which were completely expected by Chu Tianjiang.
In fact, this fear has become a reality.
While the other resistance fighters were still wary of Chu Tianjiang and Iska, Soya had changed his stance and became the staunchest supporter of Chu Tianjiang and Iskar.
When everyone else kept their distance from Chu Tianjiang, only Suo Ya stayed alone.
Along the way, Suoya asked a lot of things, especially Chu Tianjiang's previous affairs. Chu Tianjiang didn't pay much attention to her, but Iska was very enthusiastic. Although Iskar only said what he should say and what he could say, it still made Soya interested, and also made Soya admire Chu Tianjiang.
Towards dawn, the team stopped for the first time.
At this time, it was not very far from the road where the convoy passed.
