Section 26 Suspicion

Tianxiang was surprised. He had no idea that the dying Gesa would make such an unbelievable request. No, it shouldn't be a requirement at all, but a gift. A gift that leaves the fate of an entire race in the hands of an adversary.

"Why do you do that?" Tianxiang's tone was still indifferent, but as long as he carefully distinguished, it should not be difficult to find a hint of softness and incomprehension.

Be a true leader ... Than, much stronger than me. At the very least, at least ... You will do it for the good of your own people ... Come, come and fight to the death with your opponent. What's more, more importantly, there is. Humanity, humanity! โ€

Speaking of which, Gesa is already speechless. The large amount of blood flowing from the wound on the leg had consumed too much physical strength. With the unstoppable loss of blood, the frugality of life has begun to dissipate from its body little by little.

Tianxiang didn't speak, he was half-squatting on the ground, quietly looking at the man in front of him just a few minutes ago, and he wanted to break it into thousands of pieces with his own hands, but now he was dying, and there was a faint hint of a kind and friendly man when he spoke. At this moment, a rather strange thought suddenly appeared in Tianxiang's mind. He felt that this man named Gesa should not be his enemy, but his friend. The kind of friend who is quite caring.,Can think about everything for yourself.ใ€‚

A man who is able to entrust his entire clan to his opponent before dying is definitely a man of high character. It shouldn't be that evil treacherous person at all. After all, until this time, he was thinking about his people. As for his own safety, it seems that he is not at all concerned.

"No, I must have made a mistake somewhere. This man should not have died. He shouldn't be the kind of thug who plunders other tribes for food... But, however, feeding on my people was also a fact that he himself admitted. There are also a large number of human remains that have been killed. The human flesh that is still grilled on the fire until now is the best proof of this. What's going on, what's going on? โ€

Tianxiang's mind was in a mess. For a while, all kinds of thoughts appeared in his mind. Anger, hatred, pity, doubt... All sorts of things that didn't seem to have any connection at all came up together. He really couldn't tell what was wrong and what was right.

"Promise me, young man ... Promise.. Help me take care of them. From now on ... They are your own people. This, this is more or less ... I'm right.. Make up for what you have done! At this, Gesa struggled, propped himself up with both hands, and shouted with all his might to the hundred or so hunters standing in place behind him: "I declare that from now on I will be your leader again. You guys.. All of them will be merged into a new race ... He is your new leader! New Patriarch! โ€

The orders of the patriarch must be obeyed unconditionally. This is an iron law of the dark world, and it is also the law of survival that all those who join the clan hunters must abide by. Even if the patriarch's decision is against your own wishes, you can only protest. But in the end, it still has to be carried out to the letter.

Gesa died. The last words had exhausted the last strength in the body. To be precise, he was simply using his life to hand over all the remaining clansmen to Tianxiang.

Looking at Gesa's corpse lying in a pool of blood, Tianxiang had mixed feelings for a while. He had conceived of many cruel methods and bloody scenes of revenge against his enemies. But he didn't expect that Gesa, who was once regarded as a wicked person, would give himself such a gift at the last moment of his life. The gap between ideas and reality can be so different.

Tianxiang sighed, walked around the two corpses on the ground, and walked straight to the remaining hunters. In a majestic and irresistible tone, he shouted loudly: โ—Žยค "You were once my enemies. It is an enemy I must kill and who cannot be forgiven. But now, your former patriarch has decided to join my tribe. So, from this moment on, you will get rid of your enemy status and become my friends. I will treat you the same as the rest of the people. Now, pledge your allegiance to me! I will lead you to survive in this dark world. โ€

Gesa's words before he died could not have been more clear. Therefore, Tianxiang's request was not met with much resistance. It's just that among the many hunters who have knelt down, there are still a few discordant voices.

"You killed our people, killed our patriarch, and want to recognize your position as a leader, I will never agree."

"No, I will never admit that you are our patriarch."

"Gesa's words don't count, we have to elect a new patriarch. Don't believe his nonsense, this imp simply doesn't have the ability to rule over us. He couldn't give me enough food at all. Following him, there is only one way to die. โ€

"Bang-" A crisp gunshot interrupted all the distractions. I saw Tianxiang slowly put down the m5g43 in his hand with the muzzle facing the sky, and said resolutely and indifferently: "I won't stop you, those who want to leave can leave, and those who want to stay are also welcome." I promised Gesa to take care of you. Therefore, you don't have to worry about your food source at all. Follow me, and you will live well, better than you do now. Moreover, there is no need to feed on human flesh anymore. Because, in my race, such behavior is absolutely not allowed. โ€

Obedience and opposition are like twin twins with very different personalities. They exist in reality all the time. Although the new patriarch was changed inexplicably, many people couldn't accept it at all. However, the cruel reality forced them to choose to obey the wishes of the dead. Merge into the Tianxiang clan. After all, in a world where food must be fought, there is nothing more important than being fed every day.

As for human flesh, there may be people who like to eat it very much. But that's just an extreme food that you have to choose when you're hungry to the extreme. Although the hunters are basically savage, they are after all the products of the evolution of ancient people with a glorious civilization. Compared to those prehistoric humans hundreds of millions of years ago, they have inherited some of the necessary civilizations.

Although, there are not many traces of these civilizations.

Seventeen people left, leaving one hundred and forty-eight. This is the new race that Tianxiang obtained from Gesa. This is a great asset compared to the original race. After all, among the more than 100 new members, there is not a single old man.

Now all they have to do is leave, leave as soon as possible. On the one hand, this is because Tianxiang wants to merge with the original group as soon as possible. On the other hand, it's because of bugs. The thick bloody aura emanating from the mass of corpses must have attracted a large number of bugs. If it weren't for the blazing campfires, they would have rushed into the camp and nibbled on these delicious foods.

I don't know what kind of psychology I was in when I led all the new people out of this sad place filled with corpses and blood. Tianxiang looked back at Gesa's corpse, which had stiffened on the ground. But I was surprised to find that Gesa, who had been dead for a long time, seemed to have a strange smile of relief...

The mood to go home should be pleasant. Compared with when he came, the hatred in the heart of the Avenger, although it is still there, has also been much flattened. This is of course because of the tyrannical killing and bloodshed, which soothes the grief and anger caused by the loss of loved ones. More importantly, it is the fulfillment and excitement that comes with the growth of the race. It is precisely because of this that Xia Dong and other old clansmen were able to reluctantly accept the reality of merging with the enemy to become the same clan under Tianxiang's repeated persuasion.

"They are all our compatriots, our brothers. Although there had been conflicts before, Geza had cleared it all with his blood. Therefore, I ask you to treat your friends and relatives as you would like to see you. Our people can no longer afford to lose, and I will never see them kill each other. Do you know what I mean? โ€

The simple explanations and demands were quickly accepted by the Avengers. Tianxiang touched everyone with its own strength and sincere attitude. Even among the newly merged Gesar people, many were impressed by the great abilities they displayed.

After all, in a dark world full of dangers, a leader with strong strength will definitely win the affirmation and support of his followers.

It's just that the troubles and confusion in Tianxiang's heart still can't be liberated.

"I know you're feeling bad, but Gesa must die. Hatred between ethnic groups must be washed away with blood. It's not your fault. A warm, broad hand gently rested on his shoulder.

It's the wind of war! A warmth suddenly surged into Tianxiang's heart. I'm not alone. At least, there is such a faithful person. Sometimes, even if all the people in the world betray themselves, as long as a word from a confidant can pull the most depressed person back from the abyss of disappointment. And with infinite faith.

"No matter what, I'm going to lead these people to live. Even if I'm not a 'pathfinder' or a savior of the end of the world. I'm going to lead them to survive too. After all, I have family, friends, and a bunch of people who are the only ones who want to die. What could be more important than that? โ€

The cold wind was still blowing, and the heaps of ruins in the distance, which were completely hidden in the darkness, seemed to be gods that had existed since ancient times, silently watching this team of more than 100 people with indifference and disdain. In their hearts, they may be laughing, they may be sighing, and they may be curious. After all, the existence of these people is simply a hopeless struggle compared to the ancient humans who existed hundreds of years ago. Their fate is full of grips, ups and downs, and even death.

Although, they are human beings, people who are constantly evolving and gradually becoming stronger.

Back at the camp, the first thing that caught Tianxiang's eye was his sister's innocent and lively smiling face. And the rest of the clansmen looked relieved.

"Pack everything up now, we need to get out of here." Gently stroking his sister's soft hair, Tianxiang still thought that he was accustomed to indifference, and gave a new order to the Yigan clan who came up.

"Xia Dong, you take fifty people and go to the hunting ground before. Bring back all the prey of the matter. The people of the matter are divided into two groups. Warwind, you take fifty young people and go wash and peel off the bugs that have been brought back. Get the meat out and use it as a ration for these days. Liu Rui took the people who took the matter and gathered all the necessary things together. When Xia Dong's team returns, we will set off immediately. โ€

The once shocking heaps of bloody corpses around the camp were gone, replaced by a thick layer of black mud that had been sprinkled with large shards of burning formation! of ashes. Around them, several roaring bonfires had been lit. Only in this way can the breath of flesh and blood be completely dispersed and the potential threat can be completely eliminated.

Tianxiang leaned against a low earthen wall, quietly looking at the busy crowd in front of him, and did not speak. In fact, he didn't need to say anything more. The arrangement has been laid out, and all the commands are concise and clear. The new members of the clan are also having a lot of fun. The process of organizing large quantities of food is, in their opinion, a supreme pleasure.

Therefore, Tianxiang has enough leisure. He wants to use this rare time to solve all the problems in his mind one by one. Because, thinking, takes time.

Xia Dong's convoy returned to the camp a few hours later. Their return caused a stir among the newly joined clansmen. There are so many bugs, even if one person is more than enough. Although there are not many parts that can be eaten on a bug, no matter what, relying on these prey is enough to maintain consumption for more than four days.

It was at this time that the new clan discovered for the first time that this very young patriarch would definitely be an excellent leader. After all, in their minds, the only criterion for judging is food.

"Let's go!"

After arranging and arranging all the necessary items, this small group, which had just experienced two bloody battles in one day, began a new migration with a brief command. And Tianxiang, who walked at the front of the team, also showed a kind of perseverance and strength on his slightly immature face.

Their destination is the library. To be exact, it should be the small base hidden under the library.

It was large and empty, enough to house thousands of people at a time. And it's safe, with a few modifications, it can be turned into one of the most sturdy armed settlements. There are plenty of guns there, enough to withstand any bugs. Food sources are also quite adequate. Among other things, hundreds of insects in the library can provide the freshest meat for the population for a long time.

It's best to use it as a new stronghold for the community.

In this way, under the leadership of Tianxiang, after several solar days of trekking. One hundred and eighty hunters finally stood in front of the library's dusty, yet tall porch.

"Don't disturb the sawtooth bees at the door, and try to walk as gently as possible. Don't touch the books on the floor. You are also not allowed to attack any bugs. Do as I say, and don't mess around. โ€

Tianxiang repeatedly told the captains of each team until he confirmed that no one would act without permission, and then he carefully followed the route he had walked and led everyone into the hall one by one. Then he walked up to the second floor, opened the door of the director's room, and entered the long-abandoned base through the small hidden door.

"Summer and winter, war wind, take them to clean up here. If there is anything unclear, you can ask Liu Rui. Let's get it clean, it's our new home. With a faint smile on his face, Tianxiang commanded the people around him to clear out a vacant lot in the south corner of the base. Because from the piles of objects there, as well as the metal bed frames, it seems that it should be the living area of the ancients.

If a few days ago, the hunters were still somewhat dissatisfied with Tianxiang, the new patriarch, then this feeling had completely dissipated from the moment they stepped into this area. In its place, there is a heartfelt admiration and respect. Because, even the most stupid person can see that it is safe, comfortable and livable.

Watching his clansmen work enthusiastically one by one, the smile on Tianxiang's face gradually turned into a solemn thought. A few minutes later, he came to Liu Rui, who was directing everyone to put the metal bed frame back into place one by one. Gently tugged at the corner of his coat.

"Are you free? Let's have a chat. โ€

There was an abandoned tank in the north corner of the base, and under its obscure, the space behind it could not be reached by everyone in the distance. After taking Liu Yu here, Tianxiang suddenly threw out an unexpected sentence.

"Say it! What is the agreement between you and Gesa? Or rather, why did you ask Gesa to kill the people in the camp? โ€
