Resurrection Empire

Chapter 343 A failed brainwashing

"From now on, you are all my employees. I will pick you up."

Standing in the lobby of the villa club, Ren Zhong said this to the hundreds of people below.

Huo Donghua, Qian Wangshen, Hua Yuelan and the Three Smuggling Musketeers looked up at Ren Zhong on the stage with a slightly complicated mood.

They are not the same kind of people and do not enter the same family. Everyone here has made great achievements in their respective fields, and most of them are principled and proud people who refuse to follow the rules.

It can even be said that everyone has a certain degree of awareness of the "net" before being imprisoned, and they also know the consequences of what they do.

But in any case, perhaps out of a desire for profit, perhaps out of uneasy conscience, or perhaps out of unwillingness to face the fate of being unappreciated, they were eventually arrested "knowingly".

When the law enforcers began to slaughter low-level criminals in an orderly manner, everyone thought they were dead.

But no one thought of resisting and running away, it made no sense.

Even without the Internet, this seemingly loose second prison still has a strong supervision system. There are still a large number of manually operated surveillance heads in the villa area, as well as weapons that can kill most professionals instantly.

Waiting for death quietly, or at least not in such an embarrassing way, is the unanimous choice of the responsible inmates.

They didn't expect to survive.

The person who reversed his fate turned out to be an inmate with whom he had only known each other for a few days.

It's hard to describe this feeling.

Suddenly, all of these people here owe their lives to Ren Zhong.

He is soft-spoken and short-handed. Everyone is not used to being owed such a huge favor.

After talking about the situation, Ren Zhong didn't take any advantage of himself. He simply explained and asked the inmates to go home and clean up their belongings.

Time was running out, and we had to board the airship before evening and embark on the return journey.

There was less than forty minutes left for everyone to pack their things.

Due to the loss of the "net", the electromagnetic communication network has not yet been rebuilt, so the airship can only be operated semi-manually.

The flight mode is to enter the flight path in the offline navigation map, and then use the navigation module shipped from the Shenxun Group's laboratory for digital guidance, and then two experienced agile mecha warriors were transferred. The driver maintains manual intervention throughout the process.

The driving control mode is somewhat similar to civil aviation in the 21st century.

The difference is that the civil aviation pilots of that period had received long-term professional training and were very familiar with the performance of large flying vehicles, visual perception of terrain, control of navigation charts, and common flight routes. The level is commonly known as high level of training.

But the orthodox pilots on the Source Star have long been accustomed to the high-end intelligent assistance of the "Net". They almost never have to care about the performance of the flying vehicle, let alone keep an eye on the terrain and constantly intervene to correct the route. Now it suddenly becomes like this, skilled The degree is so low that it's really a bit uncomfortable.

Although Shenxun Group has abundant talent reserves and can immediately select two qualified pilots for Ren Zhong, for safety reasons, the pilots will fly at a lower speed and the flight duration will reach ten hours.

After everyone else dispersed, the three S-class criminals were still there.

These three people were the first to be notified by Ren Zhong.

Their luggage has been packed in advance.

"Mr. Ren, I want to know what kind of deal you made with the association for us."

Huo Donghua asked slowly.

He knows his own value very well, and he also knows that even if Amethyst Mining wants to get him out of here early, it is unrealistic.

Ren Zhong did not give a direct answer, only said: "It doesn't matter what deal I made with the association. What matters is what business we can create together."

The three of them looked at each other and fell silent for a while.

Hua Yuelan asked the question that everyone wanted to ask the most, "So, Ren Zhong, what was the reason why you were willing to take the risk of breaking the law and kill the people of the Wang family in Chongyi in advance?"

Ren Zhong stretched out two fingers.

"First, as a potential criminal, I am very curious about who can be imprisoned on the Source Star. According to my guess, if it is just an ordinary evil person, the Association can easily deprive him of his wealth and then put him in jail. Erase at will. Prison is both a punishment and a privilege. Therefore, it is not wrong to just say that I am here for you."

"Second, I deeply sympathized with the desolate people who were tortured and enslaved by the Wang family. At that moment, my emotions were out of control, and I didn't even care about trampling on the rules of Source Star. I think that if I don't do that, I will be in trouble in the future. I always regret my cowardice."

Later, Ren Zhong pointed at the three of them and said: "You are all talented. Like me, you are somewhat dissatisfied with the current rules on Source Star. This dissatisfaction has been tormenting you, affecting your emotions, and finally sent you to Come here."

When he reached this point, Huo Qianhua and the other three people already smelled danger.

Huo Donghua shook his lips, as if he wanted to refute, but in the end he didn't speak.

"Of course, maybe your current understanding is not clear enough. You don't know where your dissatisfaction comes from, and you don't know what to do to vent the hidden anger. You don't know how to change it, and you don't know what you can change. What. It doesn’t matter, I will show you one by one. We have more than a hundred inmates in total, but I will only tell you three of you what I really think for the time being. Not only because of your ability, but also because I trust you the most."

"Attention, I will not force you to join me by what I have done this time. After leaving here, each of you will be truly free. I will respect your choice. I am not preaching to you, either. Not a teacher. I'm just showing you what I saw and letting you know how it changed my mind."

About forty minutes later, Ren Zhong boarded the airship together with the person dragging the suitcase from Bai Lai.

Everyone else was resting in the crowded cabin, while Ren Zhong, Huo, Qian, Hua, the smuggling trio, Wang Qiao, Duo Lei and other core members gathered in the VIP conference room.

Ren Zhong first introduced the venue briefly, "This is my private airship. The two pilots in the cockpit are employees of Shenzhen Xun Group, but they do not know what is happening here. Our communication is absolutely confidential. Next, I I’m going to show you some information.”

After saying that, pictures began to appear on the projection screen, which were some human tragedies that Ren Zhong had personally recorded in places such as Xinghuo Town, Chrome Carbon Town, Liaoyuan County, and Chongyi County since he woke up from freezing.

There are old men dying, the tragic death of a dandelion girl, desolate people like walking corpses on the streets, and teammates talking about the tragedies in their lives.

"This is the former Spark Town. Before I ruled there, these people lived such a life. On the other hand, you can take a look at other people."

When the screen in the projection turned around, what appeared on the screen were dozens of tea leaves worth a pound, randomly discarded pure natural foods worth dozens or hundreds of points, and valuable decorations and collections.

Ren Zhong said again: "Everyone here basically lived this kind of life before going to prison, including me now. I put the two together to compare, and I don't mean to criticize you or myself. We can enjoy Wealth and power are because we are smarter and better than ordinary people, so of course we should be able to control more wealth. But there are some people, although they are useless, they were born in a good family. This family They have a systematic first-mover advantage in the Origin Star. As long as they don't make fatal mistakes, they can create a prosperous life for their descendants for a long time, such as the Wang family of Chengyi that was folded into my hands. At this time, these phenomena can be seen It still seems reasonable. However, we continue to amplify and deepen the two situations."

Next, Ren Zhong began to play some footage collected by the scavengers of Spark Town when they went out to work, some from other towns, and some from desert tribes around the world.

The standard of life of Huangren was continuously lowered in an instant.

They exchanged their children for food during the famine, were devastated by the beast tide, were brutally exploited and oppressed by the vicious mayor or business owners...

The scene changed again, and it turned into a high-class citizen living in a state of dissipation and dissipation. Some of these videos come from the daily headlines video section of Sleep Space before the internet was cut off, and some were recorded by Ren Zhong himself.

After a long time, Ren Zhong asked again: "Actually, you have seen and experienced these things before. But I think because you are afraid of the 'net', you rarely put the two together to compare them like today. You guys You can see that these desolate people are all half-human and ghosts. Have they done anything wrong? No! There are also these so-called citizens. I do not deny that some citizens are talented, but there are more citizens. Just by relying on the elder Yu Meng, you can control other people's bodies and souls at will. Why is this?"

"In the final analysis, it is this system that has completely blocked the upward space for almost everyone, causing so many injustices. The system has castrated the knowledge and thoughts of the desert people, and has become the absolute protective umbrella of the citizen class. The desert people have lived since birth. In despair. But is the deserted man really worthless? I myself was once a deserted man, but now I can even make deals with the association. The entire association is counting on me. However, even if I was only slightly less lucky at the beginning, In fact, it’s impossible for me to make it to Starfire Town alive.”

"Then, if I really die, my potential and the power behind me that may be enough to push the Source Star civilization forward will disappear into the void. Luck determines too many things. The skill of reincarnation is luck, and whether you live or die depends on it. Luck, the way to obtain knowledge also depends on luck, hunting beasts and returning safely also depends on luck... everything depends on luck. But luck is not fair."

"Finally, let me tell you one more thing."

Ren Zhong reproduced his discussions with Sun Miao about telomeres, human lifespan and anti-aging drugs, and his discussion with Ma Xiacheng about cosmological constants one by one, and gave conclusions.

"First, the normal life span of human beings is actually much longer than forty or fifty years. Second, your brains are actually being squeezed all the time, and your lives have become consumables. The purpose is to calculate the cosmological constant. Those who are enslaved are not There are only desolate people.”

"Third, all the brains taken away by hunters are used in the same way. Fourth, the association controls the source of the economy, and the so-called anti-aging medicine is just another method of exploitation. Similar methods abound. Yes, it’s pervasive.”

"Fifth, I can responsibly say that in the entire Origin Star Civilization, only nine frozen elders can be considered real people. The others, including you and me, are essentially livestock. Sixth, on the 'net 'While it exists, this system is unbreakable. Seventh, the 'net' has completely disappeared."

Hua Yuelan swallowed her saliva and asked cautiously: "So, Ren Zhong, what do you want to do?"

"I want to reshape the world. It's reshaping, not changing. I don't trust the empire. I think that if the humans from Source Star go to the empire in their current state, the final result should be like this... The nine major families enjoy all the glory. With wealth, and smoothly integrated into the empire to become new dignitaries. As for other people, no matter what level of citizens they are, what awaits us will be eternal slavery. You have to know that there is more than just the 'net' in the empire. The 'net' is just It’s just dog food thrown to us by the empire.”

Huo Donghua was more calm, "But the strength in your hands is still very weak. I can't see the hope of success."

Ren Zhong: "If everything must be done with absolute certainty, then in the end what awaits the humans of Origin Star will be a dead end. There is no change without risks. Since you dared to step on the boundaries of Origin Star's laws in the first place , it proves that you have the courage to move forward. I am not strong enough now, but it does not mean that I will always be weak, so I need more helpers, and that is why I need you."

"The most important thing is that we have no choice. So, do you want to be a coward and follow the entire Origin Star civilization and watch the barren people die miserably in vain after being enslaved for eternity? Or do you want to put down all worries and fight with me?" , let’s see how far we can go?”

"Finally, let me emphasize again that I dare to tell you this because I absolutely trust you. I will give you two choices now, reject me and then report me to the association, or live the life you want. Or Join me. I promise you that even if you reject me, I will let you go now without any further investigation."

After Ren Zhong finished speaking, no one in the audience expressed their opinions.

This is human nature.

Although he said he wouldn't pursue it, he managed to survive. Who is willing to bet on whether he will break his promise and gain weight?

At this moment, no one expected that Hua Yuelan stood up slowly, "I'm sorry, your ambition is too great, I... I don't want to join for the time being."

Everyone was stunned and turned to look at Hua Yuelan.

Ren Zhong smiled slightly, "Okay. This is not far from your hometown of Denghai City. There is a single-person aircraft behind the airship. Can you use it?"

Hua Yuelan: "I know how to use it."

Ren Zhong took out a fingerprint key from the box next to him, unlocked it, and threw the key to Hua Yuelan.

At the same time, Ren Zhong pointed to the box and said, "There are a total of twenty keys here. Each of you has one."

Hua Yuelan took the key, took a deep look at Ren Zhong, turned around and walked out of the conference room.

Five minutes later, a single-person aircraft appeared outside the porthole of the conference room. Hua Yuelan in the transparent cockpit raised her hands to the people in the porthole, then suddenly turned around and headed towards Denghai City.

Seeing that Hua Yuelan was really gone, Qian Wangshen, Huo Donghua and others got up one after another.

Huo Donghua said: "It's a heavy responsibility. I don't want to reject you, but now I need to think about it again. I also want to leave first. My home is also in Denghai City."

Snapped.

Ren Zhong threw another key.

After a while, only Ren Zhong was left in the conference room.

More than ten single-person airships dispersed in all directions.

Ou Youning, who was in charge of logistics work, ran over with a dark face, "Boss, this...are you really not afraid of being stabbed in the back?"

Ren Zhong laughed, "You don't understand."

These are real talents. Even if they are not attached to him, as long as they can live, they will live better than most people.

Not only that, since these people can pay for the accommodation in the second prison, of course they also control a lot of resources behind them. The only exception is Hua Yuelan.

To truly gain the loyalty of these people, you must first pass their test.

Ren Zhong has shown the utmost sincerity and trust. What they have to do now is just to verify whether Ren Zhong is really as he appears.

As for Hua Yuelan, she is actually the "caregiver" who has a heavy responsibility.

Sure enough, half an hour later, when the time reached 10:30 at night, Ren Zhong received an electromagnetic communication from Huo Donghua, "Ren Zhong, we have changed our mind. Our coordinates are... You can ask the airship to turn around to pick you up." Us?"

Ren Zhong snapped his fingers and looked at Ou Youning beside him.

Ou Youning immediately gave a thumbs up, "Boss is awesome!"

Ren Zhong grinned.

In fact, he was still a little ashamed.

I am not as good as those real thinkers, and I cannot use a few words to awaken people to enlightenment.

Furthermore, after all, Huo Donghua and others grew up in the existing social structure of Yuanxing, and their understanding of things is deeply ingrained and difficult to change quickly.

Therefore, no matter what ideas you instill in them, the effect is actually not as good as showing this kind of trust in which your life is entrusted.

In short, in one sentence, from now on, they no longer care whether Ren Zhong's philosophy is correct or whether the goal is feasible, they only care about Ren Zhong as a person.

Ren Zhong’s brainwashing can be said to have failed, but it was not a complete failure.
