Resurrection Empire

Chapter 1121 435: Morality and Law

Nearly half an hour had passed, and the exhausted Ma Xiaoling lay flat on the ground.

At this moment, she was drenched in sweat, her face bruised and swollen.

The ground beneath her showed a spider web-like cracking.

Just now, she had been slammed down hard from above by Ren Zhong.

Familiar with her disposition, Ren Zhong showed no mercy, sparing her life but engaging in true combat.

Moreover, Ren Zhong shamelessly used his prophetic abilities.

He was too familiar with Ma Xiaoling's limits.

Not to mention the distant past, but recently, he had fought side by side with Ma Xiaoling on the Tracker Spaceship numerous times using the Electric Control Crystal.

Although they were comrades at the time, not sparring, their tactical cooperation was not lacking.

With Ren Zhong's intuition, just one or two instances of coordination were enough for him to read someone's intentions, let alone Ma Xiaoling, who accompanied him over three thousand times in life-and-death situations on the Tracker.

To the extent that even if Ma Xiaoling's armor energy output fluctuated by a mere five kilowatts, Ren Zhong could still discern her movements for at least ten seconds ahead.

If their sparring were to be described with scenes from mythological stories, it would be Sun Monkey unable to escape the Buddha's palm.

Once Ren Zhong was Sun Monkey, now he is Tathagata.

Ren Zhong landed lightly beside Ma Xiaoling, looking down at her with a smile, "How was it? Do you yield?"

Ma Xiaoling spread her hands, tilted her head, and, appearing defeated and hopeless, said, "I yield, I truly yield. Alright, since I have no ability to resist anymore, make your move quickly and get it over with before I reconsider."

Seeing this, Ren Zhong felt a wave of despair.

Damn, this person is beyond hope.

This person has no sense of humor whatsoever.

Her character, tough yet soft, soft yet prickly, is somewhat unique on Source Star.

"Hurry up! Oh right, I also brought a tent to prevent surveillance, it's not worth it to let others take advantage."

After saying this, Ma Xiaoling, who seemed lethargic a moment ago, sat up again and released a semi-spherical metal structure from her armor's back.

This metal structure flew into the air, swiftly extending eight supporting legs, which pierced into the ground.

Subsequently, metal films rapidly extended in the gaps between these legs, covering thoroughly.

Watching her busy herself cheerfully, Ren Zhong thought to himself, perhaps this is an example of someone whose words do not match their heart, yet being well prepared.

But it's precisely because of this character that Ma Xiaoling's uniqueness shines, which allows Ren Zhong to have no psychological barriers with her.

Two hours later, Ren Zhong and Ma Xiaoling found another large rock to sit side by side on, looking up at the setting blue sun together.

After a long while, Ren Zhong said, "We don't have much time left, henceforth, we need to devote our precious time to more meaningful endeavors."

Ma Xiaoling: "Such as?"

"Higher level competition." Ren Zhong said softly, "I have thoroughly explored the essence of Source Star's civilization and pinpointed the root of all suffering. No matter what we do on Source Star, it's merely treating the symptoms and not the cause. To truly change this situation, achieve my genuine dream, and bring humanity a real future, we must journey to the Mechanical Empire."

Ma Xiaoling: "And then?"

Ren Zhong smiled, "Then let those beneficiaries of the interstellar era feel the iron fist of the country bumpkins."

"So confident? Do you think you can accomplish it? What do you rely on?"

Ren Zhong pondered.

His innermost thought was relying on his invincible resurrection ability, but when speaking, it turned into something else.

"It's not really confidence."

"Then what is it?"

Ren Zhong: "It's about making a decision and then relentlessly pursuing it. Even if it ends in failure, there will be no regrets. I don't want to regret not trying my best when I'm old."

Ma Xiaoling was briefly stunned and then buried her chin between her knees, mumbling in agreement.

"Therefore, the position of Chief Commissioner of the Moral Committee, I'll only have you hold it for two years. After two years, you must enter cryogenic sleep, saving your time. Our journey will continue far beyond this. In these two years, you must at least establish an unbreakable, comprehensive law enforcement system within First Continent. Two years later, your successor can naturally expand this system with the help of a stronger Ren Group, eventually enveloping the entire Source Star civilization."
