Chapter 125 Civilized Stockholm Syndrome
In the outer area of ​​Kukan Underground City, inside the shanty house.

After taking out the diary left by the old senior, Chen Fan quickly gained the trust of the two resistance fighters.

In the eyes of the two of them, Chen Fan, who persisted for more than two hundred years, at the cost of the sacrifice of several generations, and successfully implemented the awakening plan, was a true resistance fighter!
Although Chen Fan repeatedly denied this, the two still insisted on their judgment and even threatened to take Chen Fan back to the resistance headquarters to share their successful experience - not to mention the stubborn Liu Changhe, just speaking of Lunan , Chen Fan had reason to suspect that he just wanted to escape from this dungeon on his own.

Of course, having said that, the trust these two people have in Chen Fan is real.

Chen Fan naturally did not waste this great opportunity and extracted a large amount of information from the two resistance fighters, including but not limited to the current combat plan of the resistance and the current situation of the resistance.

"Is this the Resistance's plan?"

Chen Fan looked at the two resistance members in front of him in bewilderment: "Are you planning to fight an underground battle with omnics?"

Yes, it's a tunnel battle.

According to Lu Nan and Liu Changhe, the rebels began this plan decades ago. A large number of rebel fighters began to dig tunnels with the assistance of some simple mechanical devices.

This strategy was chosen mainly for two reasons.

On the one hand, omnics are generally larger in size, and powerful omnics generally cannot enter tunnels.

On the other hand, the depth of the tunnel is relatively large. After many tests, the communication and network of intelligent machines under the ground will be greatly interfered. After losing the network, the threat of these intelligent machines will be greatly reduced. For the resistance, , this is undoubtedly a huge home field advantage!

In addition, a large number of tunnels also have other functions: on the one hand, they can hide themselves, and on the other hand, the resistance can use them to secretly explore the distribution of those omnics in various areas.

According to the rebels' plan, once the time is right, the rebel fighters will jump out of the ground, catch the omnics off guard, and take back their own territory.

You can even give full play to the advantage of running away if you can't win in tunnel combat!
but……

Until now, sixty or seventy years have passed since the plan was proposed, and the rebels still have not waited for the right time.

Chen Fan looked helplessly at Lu Nan and Liu Changhe in front of him, not knowing what to say for a moment.

After spending so much manpower and material resources, all we got in the end was a large number of tunnels all over the place...

Isn't this a fucking joke?

No wonder Hong Chengdong and the others want to call the current resistance army moles!

[You can’t say that. 】

Chen Fan, who had remained silent, commented in his heart: [This machine believes that the person who made this decision is a real talent. 】

Chen Fan was confused for a moment.

He didn't understand the meaning behind Yi's words.

[According to the deduction results of this machine just now, without this tunnel warfare plan, the resistance army would have completely disappeared fifty years ago. 】

[In other words, it was this tunnel warfare plan that saved the resistance organization. 】

Hearing this, Chen Fan was shocked, and some enlightenment quickly emerged in his mind.

He seemed to understand somewhat...

No one can persist in fighting for decades or even hundreds of years without any chance of winning!

As Yi said, without this tunnel warfare plan that lasted for decades, the resistance army would have long ago disappeared in the long river of history!
Chen Fan couldn't help but recall the current situation of the resistance army that Lunan just mentioned - even if there was a tunnel warfare plan, sixty years ago, a few years after the tunnel warfare plan was proposed, a huge conflict still occurred within the resistance army. Disagreement.

A part of the resistance gave up the struggle and turned to join the underground city and even the Mechanicus Cult.

At that time, the Mechanicus Cult had not yet revealed its ambitions, nor had it completely reached a stalemate with the underground city.

The remaining "die-hards" were silently carrying out tunnel warfare plans that seemed to have a chance of winning but were actually futile.

Day after day, year after year, tunnels are dug underground on this planet, just for an illusory belief in resistance.

This is an extremely cruel thing!
Thinking like this, Chen Fan let out a long sigh and asked the last question to Lunan in front of him: "Can you tell me about the current situation in the outside world?"

"The resistance, the underground city, and the Mechanical Cult. What is the relationship between these three parties now?"

Hearing such a big-picture question, Lunan looked embarrassed. He raised his hand and scratched the back of his head: "Sir, I am just an ordinary member of the resistance. This kind of thing..."

"It's okay, just tell me all the information you know. Don't worry about making mistakes."

Lunan breathed a sigh of relief: "Currently, the resistance army is the weakest and most inconspicuous."

"After all, we are just digging tunnels underground without fighting against the world, and we have almost no conflicts with other forces."

"As for the underground city..." Lunan looked hesitant, "Strictly speaking, it should be called an underground fortress."

"When they were defeated, the resistance army proposed the Awakening Plan in an attempt to make a final stand, while the remaining elites from the prosperous era proposed the underground fortress plan to allow humans to live underground to avoid omnic attacks."

"In the view of these elites, the speed of the development of omnics is very terrifying. It may only take a few decades for these omnics to leave this planet and turn to other resource-rich planets."

"At that time, humans can return to the surface from their underground fortresses."

Chen Fan suddenly realized that a voice sounded in his mind.

[The idea is very good. For conventional artificial intelligence, avoiding war and transferring resources is indeed a survival plan. 】

[Decades are too many. Judging from the information currently available, it is estimated that it will be able to leave the planet within five to ten years of victory. 】

[But the artificial intelligence on this planet is obviously an anomaly. 】

[It also regards intelligent creatures on the planet as a resource, which directly declares the bankruptcy of the underground fortress plan. ] "But because the uncertainty of this plan was too high, the top brass of the resistance army did not agree with this plan." Lunan continued, "From that time on, there was some gap between the resistance army and the underground city. As time went by, , this gap gradually faded away.”

"But until now, the two sides have usually been in a state of incommunicado due to different philosophies."

"As for the dungeon and the Mechanicus Cult..."

Lunan fell into silence, seeming to be thinking carefully about something.

After a long time, he hesitated and said: "The relationship between the two parties is a bit complicated. As far as I know, some dungeons are very repulsive to the Mechanical Sect, while some dungeons are neutral, and some even have close ties with the Mechanical Sect. connect."

"In addition, the relationship between the Mechanical Cult and omnics... is also somewhat complicated."

"I heard from some senior members of the resistance that they respect omnics as the main ones, and the omnics don't seem to be very hostile to them."

"All in all, the Mechanical Cult is a very complex force. Although they are not large in number, I suspect... they may be the most powerful force on the planet besides omnics."

Chen Fan nodded thoughtfully.

From Lunan's words, he had some understanding of the current situation of the world - with the passage of time, humans and omnics are no longer an absolute tit-for-tat antagonistic relationship.

The Mechanicus Cult and some dungeons have even developed a certain fondness for omnics under years of oppression.

In Chen Fan's view, this is simply an unimaginable absurdity!
[Civilized Stockholm Syndrome. 】

[Similar to the regular Stockholm Syndrome, except that its target is a relatively large and macro civilization. 】

[In the research of the People's Federation of Social Sciences, a large number of civilizations will show this tendency when facing invasion from the outside world. 】

[After an invaded civilization has experienced a long period of oppression and existential threats, they will choose to actively help the invaders, and even find appropriate excuses for the invaders' invasion. 】

Listening to the "real-time explanation" issued in his mind, Chen Fan's confusion gradually dissipated.

After thinking for a moment, he spoke again.

"I need to meet with the top brass of the resistance."

"Of course!" Lunan nodded vigorously and agreed without any hesitation, "After leaving this underground city, I will take you to the southern branch of the Resistance Army."

"Southern Branch?"

Lunan smiled and replied: "This is the southern war zone, and the resistance army has three other war zones."

……

Kukan Underground City, Inner City.

Unlike the outer slums where salvagers live, the inner city appears to be very prosperous.

The newly repaired road was extremely smooth. A large number of well-dressed pedestrians walked on the asphalt paved road and cast disdain and disgust at Jiang Haichuan, who was dressed in burlap clothes.

Jiang Haichuan was very familiar with this look.

Therefore, he did not pay attention to the eyes of others, but walked towards his destination on his own.

Boss Jin's residence is considered a wealthy area in the inner city - over the years, he has made a lot of money by selling weapons and equipment.

Looking at the individual villas and small buildings in the wealthy area, Jiang Haichuan's eyes inevitably revealed a look of envy - in an underground city where land resources are extremely precious, such independent villas with sufficient personal space are almost The greatest symbol of identity and power.

"Hey!"

Seeing Jiang Haichuan approaching the wealthy area, a member of the law enforcement team patrolling the streets frowned and quickly stopped Jiang Haichuan: "That garbage picker is talking nonsense, stop!"

Seeing Jiang Haichuan cast an inquiring look at him, a member of the law enforcement team took out a pistol from his waist and asked in a deep voice: "What are you doing here?"

"Don't you know this is the inner city?"

"I'm looking for Boss Jin."

Jiang Haichuan whispered in a low voice, neither humble nor haughty.

"Boss Jin?" The members of the law enforcement team raised their eyebrows, with some suspicion in their eyes, "Which Boss Jin?"

"How many bosses are there in the inner city?" Jiang Haichuan shook the metal cube in his hand, "Of course it's boss gold who sells weapons."

"Fusion battery?!"

Seeing the greedy look on the faces of the law enforcement team, Jiang Haichuan's heart tightened.

There was no strange look on his face, and he deliberately lowered his voice: "Keep it down!"

Jiang Haichuan imitated Hong Chengdong's tone and lied without changing his face or heart: "This is what Boss Jin asked for by name. I'm here to deliver the goods to Boss Jin."

"If something goes wrong, you..."

Upon hearing this, the members of the law enforcement team turned pale.

He turned his head and looked at the rich area behind him, put away the greed in his heart, and waved his hand quickly.

"Go, go, after delivering the goods, immediately go back to the outer city where you should be staying!"
