Resurrection Empire

It's a pity that those miracles have been buried in the dust of the previous timeline, and they can't be used as bragging capital.

"Okay, I understand. I just want to make sure of one thing, Ren Zhong, you really want the desolate people in Xinghuo Town to live, right?"

Ren Zhong blinked, put his right index finger lightly on his left watch, and then nodded, "Yes. Every barren man in a small town is a good cheap labor force. Although the people in the barren tribe outside are also cheap, they are Rather unruly, with a poor foundation of knowledge, it is not easy to work."

Ma Dafu was taken aback, and wanted to say why you are inconsistent, but his eyes quietly drifted past Ren Zhong's watch, and he vaguely understood.

He suddenly realized that Ren Zhong was planning a bigger guy.Ren Zhong's gaze had actually drifted past Xinghuo Town and landed on a farther place.

This made him a little scared, but also inexplicably excited.

With all kinds of complicated emotions intertwined, Ma Dafu nodded, and said in a meaningful way: "My incompetence indirectly killed so many people, I really want to do more things."

Ren Zhong raised his hand and patted Ma Dafu on the shoulder, "Then let's do it together. I know you are a good man, Ma. We can't control what happened in the past, but we can prevent similar things from happening under our noses in the future. .”

"Well. Of course."

According to the average lifespan of Yuan Xing, Ma Dafu at this time is already considered ancient, but inexplicably, when talking with Ren Zhong, he actually had a feeling that he was being preached by others.

I am a student, and I am a teacher.

He squeezed his fists slightly, the mental state that was hit yesterday because he saw the foreign mine factory burying people in the pit, unconsciously eased a lot.

So what if I'm old.

Chao Wendao, Xi can die.

If I live one more day, I will fight with him for one more day. I want to see what you are planning with the ceiling of such a wise and near-monster!

Yes, Madafu has understood Ren Zhong's "disguise".

He knew that Ren Zhong's essence hadn't changed, he had the same temperament as when he angrily killed the strong man surnamed Huang who tried to bully the girl.It's just that the conspiracy has become bigger, so he is quietly hiding his edge.

However, there is no end to the hidden front of the sword, and drawing the sword will surely break the sky!

Madafu thought, I really want to live another ten years.Only time will wash away your pretense from my eyes and let me see your true face.

But he did not dare to choose cryonics.

He was afraid that when he woke up, he would return to ashes and ashes again.

In such a world, besides waiting to die, what else is there to look forward to.

Finally, Ren Zhong arrived at Liaoyuan County.

Liaoyuan County is not as large as Zhansha County, with a total population of just over [-].

The sense of science and technology in the county is not as good as Zhansha County, but Ren Zhong has a very special feeling for this county.

As early as when he heard the name Liaoyuan County from Wang Zhaofu for the first time, he had always thought in his heart that one day he would break out of the prison of Xinghuo Town and come to Liaoyuan County to see what kind of city only citizens could set foot in. What does it look like.

Later, he went to Zhansha County first, and the obsession in his heart eased.

But Zhansha County is like an unexpected dewy love suddenly encountered in the road of life, and Liaoyuan County is the first love that people will never forget.

Both counties have similar huge transparent hoods.

The function of this cover may be to resist the beasts, and it also has a certain effect of isolating the toxic and harmful gases from the outside.

The architectural theme in Zhansha County is a floating island supported by pointed towers. Liaoyuan County does not have such amazing high-tech content, but one after another high-rise buildings of different shapes soaring into the sky.

According to the guide map provided by the artificial intelligence guide Sophon, Liaoyuan County is also a garden city. These high-rise buildings are dotted in a forest composed of countless large and small urban gardens.

About 90% of the area in the city is vegetation, and only 10% of the area is tall buildings.

Obviously, people in the two counties have completely different living habits.

But similarly, citizens of both places enjoy a life of peace and contentment.

Madafu introduced: "The Mecha Warrior Academy that Ma Xiaoling studied is located in Liaoyuan County. Although the economic level of this county is average, the Liaoyuan Mecha Warrior Academy enjoys a high reputation on Yuanxing. Since you are interested in becoming a mecha warrior, If the opportunity is right in the future, you can come here to study, and you will definitely gain something. Look, those people over there are students of the Warrior Academy. The academy is just around the corner, do you want to take a look?"

Not far from Madafu, there are several young men and women wearing standard armor flying by.

These people flew all the way talking and arguing, so lively.

Ren Zhong looked at it from a distance, shook his head, "No."

Although their appearances are different, the aura of many students in these people reminds him, a doctor who suffered from cancer just after he left campus, to think back to the past.

The place is peaceful, in sharp contrast to the nearby but about to be destroyed Xinghuo Town.

But Ren Zhong smelled the smell of decay here again.

It was in this kind of place that Ma Xiaoling grew up that he finally developed such a kindness, but he could only grasp the superficial cognition.

It's not Ma Xiaoling's fault, it's just the environment.

The happy life of the citizens of Liaoyuan County is beyond words.

Sadly, their happiness is not entirely based on the desolate people.

Chromium Town can at least serve as a shield for Zhansha County.

Xinghuo Town is in Liaoyuan County, but it doesn't even have the value of existence.

In here, the barren people seem to be just a burden that shouldn't exist at all, and they don't even have the qualifications to be used. They only have a little role in hunting low-level ruin beasts to provide output, which is actually better than nothing.

Eliminate poverty while creating poverty.

What the source star system is really plotting is indeed only the brain.

All other needs, all controlled trade, and all "welfare systems" that subsist on food and clothing are all disguises to cover up the truth.

The lives of citizens and desolate people are almost completely separated.

Even if it was Ju Qingmeng, if she hadn't appeared by herself, she would not have any real intersection with the barren people.

Citizens and desolate people are always just passing through each other.

There is only one situation in which citizens will consider the matter of barren people, and that is when they themselves have problems and become degenerate citizens, and will feel the deep-seated fear when the class is about to decline and become barren people.

Ren Zhong quietly ignited his anger, and scanned the city with a smile but disgust.

Maybe one day I will come here for further study as Madafu said, but I will never really integrate here.

Chapter 181 It's dawn, optimize the reform

It was already 06:30 in the evening when Ren Zhong returned to Xinghuo Town by car.

Since the airship was provided by the mayor of Madafu, Ren Zhong didn't want to give too much privilege, so he let the car stop at the town hall first, and then walked to the new Xinghuo resource on foot.

At this time, the blue sun was slanting to the west, the small moon was rising, and the big moon was just about to move below the horizon.

There are few pedestrians in the white wall area, and few people walk around.

Since Yang Bingzhong was arrested, the atmosphere in Xinghuo Town has become polarized.

The barren people's side celebrated together, but the atmosphere on the citizen's side took a sharp turn for the worse.

Since yesterday, hundreds of citizens in the town have become reluctant to go out, and today they basically only stay in their villas during the day.

These citizens usually work in the town to some extent, but the intensity is not high, so they can go or not.

If they don't go out now, it means they have made a decision.

Even though Yang Bingzhong was dead, they obeyed the request of Mengdu Group and Zijing Mining, and still planned to use their votes as knives in the voting session after the census to kill all the barren people.

Ren Zhong is not sure whether the motivation of the citizens not to go out is due to guilt, feeling ashamed to face these desolate people who support themselves, or thinking that the people here are all dying people anyway, and they are too lazy to deal with them. The heart is quiet.

Or, the citizens are worried that there are well-informed people in the barren people who hate them, so they give them a limit of one for one.

Ren Zhong sincerely hoped that they were motivated by the first motive, then they were barely human.

But Ren Zhong knew that the possibility of this was very small, and it was just his own wishful thinking.

When passing by the gate of the white wall, Ren Zhong saw that the number of guards on this side had doubled compared to usual.

On the top of the white wall, there are also a lot of fancy automatic equipment, which is not systematic and wins by quantity.

Undoubtedly, these are security facilities built by citizens at their own expense, but as long as everyone contributes, the world inside the white walls will become a better world.

Ren Zhong thought, if it weren't for the restrictions of low-level citizens in the household registration and post system, which made it difficult for them to move around at will, and had to stay to vote after the census, the citizens here would probably wish to spread their wings and fly as far as possible.

Walking out of the white walls and entering the slums, the atmosphere changed suddenly.

Many barren people are active on the street, some are selling all kinds of second-hand goods, and some are bartering.

The desolate people's expressions were no longer numb as before, and their eyes were a little brighter.

Even the women in the customs industry standing on the street raised their voices to solicit customers.

There were also three or five people gathered at the corner of the street, some robbed, some fired bullets, and some put knives on the ground.

These low-level barren people who had nothing to do are discussing to form a brand new semi-professional scavengers team.

They probably couldn't get too far out of town to go to dangerous places.

Even if they only deal with a first-level market beast, they have to risk their lives.

Some people may die outside, but some people must come back alive.

But they began to have the courage and determination to try.

Obviously just changed the boss, Ren Zhong didn't even have time to announce the new system, and the Liaoyuan County Resources Company hadn't opened the procurement authority in the system, the enthusiasm of the desolate people seemed to be rekindled quietly.

A few sparks emerged from the dark ashes.

In fact, such a simple desire to "live better" has always been hidden deep in everyone's heart, but sometimes they are powerless and can only live numbly like a walking dead.

Although the people in this town have been living under the shadow of Yang Bingzhong, they are almost suffocating, and even almost forget what a better life should look like.

But the pursuit of human instinct has never been extinguished.

The pillows were slightly removed, but human instinct still pushed them to take deep breaths, trying to take in more fresh air.

Ren Zhong was gratified by this, but also somewhat helpless.

He turned around again, and quickly walked back inside the white wall.

……

At [-]:[-] in the evening, the square of Xinxinghuo Resources was already crowded with people.

The queues lined up in front of the two resource recovery platforms have circled the square nearly twice.

No one maintained order, but the scene was orderly.

Everyone was looking forward to it, and there was no sound.

They are so eager for resource companies to come and go that they stand like a disciplined army in order to impress their new bosses.

There are still 10 minutes before Liaoyuan resources are opened.

After 10 minutes, New Spark Resources will restart the purchase of market beasts.

The scene that reverberated in many people's minds at this time was exactly the promise Ren Zhong made to the barren people about the new company 22 days ago when he returned from the Chenhui mining area as the only seedling of the Linwang team.

Before the dust settles, people are willing to live with expectations, but they are inevitably uneasy.

Now, the promise has been fulfilled.

The subject of fulfilling the promise is not Yang Bingzhong, but Ren Zhong himself.

People with a sane mind have already realized part of the whole story.

The desolate people's feelings about Ren Zhong became a little complicated.

They want to thank Ren Zhong for eradicating Yang Bingzhong's cancer, but they are faintly worried that he will become a new cruel exploiter.

In the confrontation with Yang Bingzhong, Ren Zhong, the traitor, had the last laugh.

Only the stronger and stronger can become the winner, stepping on the corpse of the loser to rise to the top.

But on Yuanxing, especially business owners, in addition to the ability of professionals, the word "powerful" is often equated with qualities such as cruelty, cold-blooded, and vicious.

Even if Ren Zhong had established some reputation in the town in the past, who knows if he is just whitewashing himself?

After all, even Yang Bingzhong, an old Jianghu, was easily manipulated by him and became a springboard for his life.

No one dared to say that they knew his true face.

Standing in the office on the third floor of the company's workshop, Ren Zhong could clearly see the expressions of expectation, nervousness, apprehension, etc. on the faces of the people below.

He took a deep breath, climbed to the top of the building, and appeared in front of everyone.
