Resurrection Empire

Chapter 652 - 245 Harvest, Awakening

On the 127th day, at eight o’clock in the morning, under the witness of the 160,000 townsfolk, the sealed box containing the Legion Beast was loaded onto the disc-shaped airship by the Mengdu Group’s corporate army.

The airship slunk away embarrassingly.

The airship’s embarrassment formed a sharp contrast with the jubilant atmosphere in the town.

Ren Zhong did not miss this great opportunity to flog a dead horse.

To enhance the ceremonial feeling of handing over the spoils of war from the "Victorious Country" to the "Defeated Country," he informed all the town residents a day in advance to let them witness history.

Meanwhile, the First Continent TV also sent a professional interview team for a live broadcast. They couldn’t always let Source Star TV take over the role.

The Mengdu Group never expected him to be so flamboyant, taking a harsh hit, losing face, yet they had nothing to say about it.

Subsequently, Ren Zhong’s 5 billion yuan for mental damage and 2 billion for property loss compensation were credited in full.

The 2 billion Citizen Points from the 20 billion donations were also allocated to Ren Zhong’s personal information account.

The compensation for the casualties was automatically distributed to the relevant individuals, managed by Wang Zhaofu through the company’s account.

As for the Molecular Regeneration Device, it had already been installed in the VIP treatment room of the town hospital by Sun Miao and the technical staff before Ren Zhong brought out the Legion Beast.

Finally, this matter came to an end.

Ren Zhong and Ma Dafu walked side by side on the newly transformed town streets.

The two waved greetings to each Scavenger enthusiastically greeting them from the side.

After five days of intensive cleanup and reconstruction, no traces of the war’s aftermath were visible in the town.

Under the three-day impact of the Beast Tide, the slum shanties were severely damaged.

The heavily invested alloy buildings remained largely intact.

The Scavengers simply moved into the alloy buildings, which have higher structural strength and better automatic defense facilities, instead of repairing the shanties.

Some of the better-off Elite Scavengers even bought Armed Sleep Cabins for their entire family.

From now on, they could sleep peacefully at home just like a professional team used to.

Home became a real home.

With most of the shanties flattened, the streets became much wider.

Ren Zhong and Ma Dafu took the opportunity to adjust the town’s plan.

The North City near the parking lot was planned as a central residential area.

In the foreseeable future, more and more Scavengers would definitely choose to spend the night at home.

The distance to the parking lot from here is shorter, effectively improving the efficiency of daily hunting trips.

The East District, marked by Alson Supply Cooperative and the Military Weapon Store, was planned as a commercial area. Shops selling all kinds of electronics, second-hand arms, clothing, and miscellaneous items, as well as a large flea market, were all located here.

Various entertainment facilities, represented by Night’s Rest Bar, also gathered on a bustling street in the East District. Ren Zhong was currently negotiating with the Alson Group’s Yangsheng City branch, preparing to have them invest in building an Alson Hotel here.

As for the training ground originally associated with the Military Weapon Store, it was relocated entirely to the West District, merging with several newly built large training grounds. The West District became a training area for Professionals.

The situation in the South City was more complex, with a food production base originally belonging to Tianlong High-tech but was purchased by Ren Zhong for a billion, a handcraft workshop under construction, and more than a dozen different small factories.

The logistics center affiliated with the Chenhui Mine outside the South City Gate was also under construction. Ren Zhong’s Chenhui Human Resources Headquarters was also located here. Incidentally, not only did Ren Zhong acquire the food base, but he also purchased the canteen of Starfire Town for the same billion.

This town transitioned from corporate monopoly to another extreme, becoming Ren Zhong’s personal monopoly. Most of the town’s wealth became his personal property.

In addition, Ren Zhong also moved the dismantling production line of Second Level Ruined Beasts to the South District.

This not only provided more job opportunities but also made the increasingly crowded headquarters a bit more spacious and orderly.

In the past, Yang Bingzhong placed Starfire Resources inside the White Wall, not for safety reasons, but merely to highlight the class disparity between Citizens and Scavengers. Ren Zhong had no interest in this.

Under such a plan, the previously distinctive slum alleys of Starfire vanished, replaced by orderly alloy buildings and various functional structures.

With the permanent population soaring from over 20,000 to 180,000, the small town, surprisingly, did not appear crowded. The space instead became ample.
