Resurrection Empire

Chapter 601 - 226: Electronic Imbalance, Dark Clouds Over the City_2

"What exactly is the reason?"

Sun Miao thought for a moment, "The problem probably lies in her lack of a ’soul’."

"So how much longer until the new due date?"

Sun Miao brought up a data model and analyzed, "If we do nothing, she might never stir. But according to this slowed development speed, in another month, her brain neurons will reach maturity. Then, they can withstand data entry. I must adjust the plan to let her receive soul inscription in Ying’s belly, only then she can be awakened."

Ren Zhong: "Then we need the Molecular Regeneration Device, about purchasing the Molecular Regeneration Device..."

"The Mengdu Group is very pleased that you’re willing to spend billions to buy their idle equipment, thinking it’s a way for you to express goodwill in reconciliation. However..."

"However, what?"

"But it’s a foregone conclusion that Starfire Town is to be designated as an experimental zone. The Mengdu Group requires us to relocate the lab to Chromium Carbon Town before proceeding with the next transaction. I personally think it’s time to consider moving."

Ren Zhong remained silent for a long time.

Calculating the time, nine days later, the Mengdu Group’s Ruined Beast impact experiment will officially commence.

It’s too late.

"Brother Sun, let’s pause this project. Just provide Ying with basic care. Besides, I need your help manufacturing a batch of drugs."

"What kind of drugs?"

"Drugs that can quickly unleash human potential."

Sun Miao was shocked, "Are you really planning to live and die with this town? Are you crazy! What did you teach me back then? Where there’s life, there’s hope!"

Ren Zhong asked again, "Brother Sun, my current plan is still incomplete; it needs revising. We need to face reality."

"What reality?"

"If we could inscribe a soul in the next few days, I would agree to your idea of relocating and leaving Starfire Town with you. Even if this betrays the original twenty thousand wastelanders in Starfire Town, and the hundreds of thousands of wilderness wastelanders who came here because of me, even if I become the target of public criticism, I’d want to gain more information. But since you said there’s still a month to wait, we can’t afford it. So... the weight of this matter has lessened in my mind."

Sun Miao completely understood Ren Zhong’s thoughts, and was instantly furious, "Damn you! I listened to your grand ideals and sold the human brain planting technology! Came here to make trouble with you! You have no idea the pressure inside me! And now, with just one step away, you want to die and have it all end? Damn you!"

He cursed angrily while pushing Ren Zhong hard, as if it was the only way to vent his anger.

Ren Zhong was pushed several times but stood still, staring fixedly at Sun Miao.

After a long time, Sun Miao finally calmed down again.

Ren Zhong slowly said, "Brother Sun, how long have we known each other?"

"More than three months. What the hell are you trying to say?"

"Maybe you can’t understand now, and I can’t explain it to you. But do you believe in my essence? Do you know what my essence is? Would I make meaningless sacrifices?"

Sun Miao’s lips trembled.

He didn’t quite understand, very confused.

In his eyes, Ren Zhong is "cunning", "sly", always planning before acting, considering every detail meticulously without a flaw, the pure silver coin among old coins.

In normal circumstances, Ren Zhong can definitely discern the stakes, weighing pros and cons clearly.

Then, Ren Zhong should know that sacrifice is inevitable, bearing infamy is inevitable, but as long as the ideal remains, these costs could be borne. This was the concept he showed when he initially tempted me to hand over the human brain planting technology.

But this time, Ren Zhong betrayed the "revolution," inexplicably showing such a strong desire to die.

This is too unusual.

Too unreasonable.

Looking at Ren Zhong’s sincere eyes, after a long time, Sun Miao turned his face away.

"Damn it! Damn it all! At least tell me what you want to see!"

Ren Zhong gave an ambiguous answer.

"I want to see if there’s truly a spark on Source Star. Likewise, I want to see what kind of combat power can be unleashed by hundreds of thousands of people when forced to the extreme in such a deadly situation. Because I want to overturn the entire Source Star. I want to stand against the world. This struggle will be my valuable experience."

"Then what’s the damn point of just seeing that! Dying ends everything! What use are experiences if you’re dead!"
