Resurrection Empire

After finishing writing the manuscript, Ren Zhong put down his pen and lay back on the chair. The scene from the documentary immediately reappeared in his mind.

Even though he had personally witnessed these things, even if he had reviewed them while editing the video, as soon as he thought about them, the adrenaline would continue to flow uncontrollably, his heartbeat would speed up, and his breathing would become heavy.

In various places in Source Star, when logistics was disrupted and food was in short supply, a large number of citizens evacuated and took away most of the stored supplies in the town when they left.

Subsequently, changing children and eating them is only the preliminary stage.

There are also many small towns that have fallen into complete chaos and become pure predators of the jungle.

The town turned into a large slaughterhouse, blood spilled on the streets, and prices were set for meat of different ages, genders, and different parts.

This kind of town was renamed Blood Town by Ren.

There are also small towns with strong military strength that temporarily found food substitutes and sent out teams after teams of people to hunt.

It's just that the objects of hunting have changed from half-living, half-metal, basically inedible beasts to organic animals.

This category of organic animals also includes wild people.

The citizens exploited the desert people in the small town, and the desert people in the small town used their equipment advantages and cooperation abilities to kill the desert people in the wild.

A new food chain was born.

This type of town is called Butcher Town by Ren Zhong.

The characteristics of the previous small towns are different, but these butchers and executioners all follow an unspoken rule subtly, that is, they cannot use the human brain.

A larger number of hunters can always appear in time and take away these precious resources.

No matter how many people die at the same time, the hunters will always be busy.

Ren Zhong also asked Ou Youning to inquire, and then he knew the reason.

It turns out that someone once wasted human brains, and the result was that they were quickly attacked by hunters.

There is another type of town where the situation is even weirder. When Ren Zhong arrived, no one here was thinking clearly, not even the baby.

The man, who moves slowly and stiffly, and whose body is rotten, wanders, moves, and crawls aimlessly in the street.

When they sense the breath of carbon-based creatures, they will suddenly become active again, making inhuman gestures at an inhuman speed, killing like beasts, and their movements are so fast that they don't look like humans, but more like agile beasts.

At that time, Ren Zhong silently watched the virus overdose alarm given by his armor's air filter detection system.

There is no need to investigate the truth anymore. This town has most likely become the experimental field of the Mengdu Group.

This was a failed genetic fusion experiment that created a large number of zombie-type clone warriors.

Ren Zhong named this type of town Monster Town, and expressionlessly slaughtered all the walking corpses that looked both human and inhuman, and then burned the entire town to the ground.

He has also seen many towns that were completely overrun by the tide of beasts, and rescued several hungry orphans from the ruins.

Ren Zhong also discovered a very strange phenomenon.

According to historical records, past beast outbreaks always followed certain patterns. Although beast tides are terrifying, they rarely appear in large areas in the same area, and they always leave a breathing space for human reproduction.

Moreover, when a horde of beasts captures a town, they often only stay there for a while, eat to their heart's content, and then immediately disperse and retreat to the mountains and forests.

But this time, the beast tide did not disperse after gathering. After taking over a small town and looting it completely, they actually took the initiative to move en masse to a nearby town, absorbing more ruin beasts on the way and forming a new wave. A huge army of beasts.

It seemed that after the "net" disappeared, the beast's actions completely lost its order.

Ren Zhong shook his head hard, putting aside these memories for the time being.

Then he called Ou Youning and said, "You can go and notify someone."

At two o'clock in the afternoon, a large group of people came outside Ren Zhong's office, including Ju Qingmeng, Yu Jin, Chen Hanyu, Zheng Tian, ​​Bai Feng, Ou Youning, Wen Lei, Sun Miao, Wang Zhaofu, Tang Shuying, and Ma's father and daughter.

Everyone was a little confused when they met outside the office. They didn't know why Ren Zhong suddenly summoned him. He only said that he had important matters to announce.

After everyone sat down, Ren Zhong waved his hands and said: "Everyone here is my most trusted person. I have told you very roughly about my ideals before, and you have a general idea."

"But I didn't speak thoroughly enough. At that time, my knowledge was not broad enough and my thoughts were not systematic. I once thought that Spark Town was extremely bad. But this time, after visiting more places and gaining more knowledge, I realized my naivety and came up with some new ideas.”

"Now I have to re-explain my understanding so that you can see the whole picture of my thinking. First watch the documentary. This film records what I have seen and heard in the past month and what I was thinking at the time."

Two hours later, the documentary titled "Purgatory on Earth" came to an end, and the office fell silent.

Everyone was stunned and in disbelief.

Ren Zhong tapped the table lightly, "According to my investigation, in fact, many small towns were like this before the network was disconnected, and they have remained like this for many years. Are you surprised, are you confused? Obviously before When the 'Net' existed, information was so developed that we could obviously look up information about any place in the sleeping space and use holographic projection to enter any town, but we have never seen it."

"The reason is very simple. The 'Net' has covered up this information. Under the strict control of the 'Net', we can always only see what it wants us to see. It has been tampering with everyone's cognition through information control and control. It affects everyone's thinking. People in these small towns don't think there is anything wrong with their behavior. In their eyes, this is how humans should be."

"However, in the eyes of people in Spark Town, this is obviously wrong. Different regions and different groups of people have been given different worldviews by the 'Net'."

"In addition, now you also know that there are two levels of history on the Source Star. The first level is the origin theory of the Source Star in the cognition of the barren people, and the second level is the ten thousand-year history in the eyes of the citizens. So, which history is it? Really? We don’t know.”

"The past is past, and what really matters is the present and the future. Now, we see this phenomenon. We have to understand why this is happening, otherwise it will be impossible to change the future."

"As I said before, under the control of the 'net', people are no longer human, or people no longer regard the same kind as the same kind, then everything that follows is a matter of course."

"Then, continue to spread the problem. You already know how to live, and you have also seen that the desolate people under our rule are not really worthless. But the desolate people who have fallen into the bottom have the opportunity to change their destiny and truly live like human beings. ? Now I have changed the lives of people in Yangsheng City, Jianghao City and Zhansha County. But further away, I am still powerless."

"Move time forward. If the 'Net' still exists, can the Desolate Man change his destiny? No. I did it, but I was the only new citizen in the entire Spark Town in the past ten years, and even more so in Yangsheng City. In the past ten years, I am the only person who has been promoted from a deserter to a level five citizen or above. Looking around the world, how many people like me are there?"

"There is an invisible shackle that surrounds everything, controls everything, suppresses everything. It cuts off the promotion ladder for people at the bottom. It uses associations as minions to formulate a pyramid system that can never be broken. It is the 'net'. So, is this correct? What can such a rule create?”

"I'll take Yu Jin and Zheng Tian as examples again. Facts have proved that both of you have good talents and can take on important responsibilities. You also have strong enough self-discipline and learning ability. As long as you are given the opportunity, you can show your talents. Talent can make a contribution equal to a hundred or even a thousand within the system of our Ren Group."

"Now every day, new students graduate from our college with excellent results and take up one position after another. Among these people are citizens, temporary deserters, and even wilderness deserters. These people can serve for I, Ren Group, create more resources.”

"But, without my presence, Zheng Tian and you would have died miserably in the hands of Lin Wang, and Yu Jin, you would have died of poverty or the fists of an unknown semi-professional scavenger. There are many more like you in the world. People, their work ability, talent, and mobility, and the productivity represented by them, are being wasted extravagantly. Just like in a desert city that is short of water, there is always a huge faucet pouring water into the ground."

"But, are the humans of Source Star really not short of water?"

"lack!"

"Sun Miao, you are a senior scientific researcher. You know how many years the scientific and technological level of humans in Yuanxing has not improved. All so-called scientific researchers, including the nine major enterprises, are essentially just technologies provided by the empire. Translator of product manuals. How can such a Source Star human being have the capital to enter the interstellar era?"

"Even if senior citizens, including me, really go to the stars, what is the meaning of our existence? We are just a bunch of pigs without intelligence and value."

"Yes, we are pigs, pigs that produce brains. Otherwise, the sexual concepts of the humans on Source Star would not be so open! Contraceptive measures would not be included in the ban! The fertility rate would not be as high as this! "

"I also found that the behavior of the Xu beasts also changed after the disappearance of the 'Net'. There is no doubt that the Xu beasts are not naturally occurring creatures and are also under the control of the 'Net'. This is a large-scale double Breeding can not only harvest human brains, but also harvest ninth-level ruin beasts that should exist but we have almost never seen!"

"Now, let me tell you what the real contribution point is, the cosmological constant, the cosmic hash value..."

…

"Everyone, there has never been a real future for humanity on Source Star. On the other side of the Great Migration, deep in the starry sky is eternal slavery in the dark."

“What can we do to escape this slavery?”

"That is to return civilization to its true form! Within a limited time, let every person with potential get enough education, step into the right position, and complete the greatest achievement that his talent can support him to accomplish!"

"Only by allowing everyone to obtain enough knowledge and control their own destiny as much as possible, can the potential of civilization be truly unleashed! Only by spreading the rules of the Ren Group to every inch of the Yuanxing galaxy can Let this rotten Origin Star civilization turn into a war machine truly capable of competing for the stars and win the future. Otherwise, even if there is cryonics, even if we can time travel, the end of the journey will still be destruction."

"Everyone, we have to change this era. And we will definitely succeed. Because everyone has the instinct to long for a better life, our ideas can be recognized by most people below level five citizens, and our comrades will only More and more, victory will eventually be ours.”
