Resurrection Empire

Chapter 762 286: Hell on Earth, War Erupts_3

These people were draped in loose garments, but their exposed skin bore all sorts of strange and bizarre injuries.

With the medical techniques of this era, these injuries could all be healed. But the reason they were left this way was simply that the masters of these slaves wouldn't treat them, preferring to watch them suffer and be tormented in pain.

Among all the tortured slaves, those in the inner courtyard of Wang Dingyuan and his son were the most miserable.

Some were no longer even considered human.

To satisfy the perverse desires of the father and son, their bodies had been replaced with bionic prosthetics.

The most pitiful was a woman whose only part left human was from the neck up.

Everything below her neck had been replaced with a semi-mechanical, semi-biological prosthetic.

Bionic blood vessels, lymphatic tubes, and other metal pipelines formed a network to supply energy to her brain and provide nutrients to sustain her life.

The woman was extremely beautiful, yet her expression was vacant and foolish.

When Sun Miao first laid eyes on her, he uttered something Ren Zhong had never heard before.

Sun Miao said, "This person... without a Molecular Regeneration Device, I couldn't treat her either."

Ren Zhong ground his teeth, and spat out two words, "Scum."

Sun Miao nodded and looked around, "This damned place makes me feel like I'm back in the labs of Mengdu Group. Damn it!"

Ren Zhong: "The Wang family father and son must die."

Sun Miao patted Ren Zhong's shoulder, "Don't be impulsive, there'll be plenty of chances. We'll plan carefully."

Ren Zhong: "Alright."

Two choices lay before Ren Zhong.

First, cut his throat to start over immediately and use the information gathered this time more perfectly, steal the Alien Ore, and destroy the Tianyuan Military Industry's lab responsible for developing new positioning technologies in advance.

Second, abandon the previously collected information, push time forward, continue to build power, and accelerate the rise in corporate warfare, looking for another chance in the coming days to eradicate the Wang family father and son.

Ren Zhong weighed his options and decided to choose the latter.

They are still alive.

Their purpose for living is to wait to be taken down by him.

Sun Miao twisted his neck, "Alright, time to get to work. I need to do preliminary emergency treatment for these people; some are extremely weak. But most of them need to be sent to the town hospital for follow-up treatment. Moreover, I see a large number have severe psychological trauma, which I might not be able to fix."

Ren Zhong waved his hand, "No worries. They can integrate into Starfire Town. Starfire Town can heal their psychological trauma."

"That's true."

While Sun Miao was busy, Xiao Xingyue showed up.

Ren Zhong clasped his hands, "I need your help again; I need a psychological assessment of those in charge among these slaves here."

Xiao Xingyue complained, "It's odd for such a small matter to trouble me? Don't think I'll become your personal Telekinesis Master! Please, give a Level Eight Professional some respect, my appearance fee is very expensive!"

Ren Zhong: "I'll share your next interview video and rally my followers to follow your media account."

"Deal!"

After a moment, as Xiao Xingyue was preparing for the psychological assessment, she suddenly looked up at Ren Zhong and asked, "What if I find some people have done a lot of evil, but the victims are Scavengers, what then?"

Ren Zhong: "Kill without mercy. If Scavengers can kill Scavengers, I can kill them more."

Xiao Xingyue: "Why?"

Ren Zhong: "Because I want to, and I dislike these people."

As they spoke, Wang Zhaofu approached with a report, "Boss, the magistrate of Chongyi County wants to see you."

Ren Zhong nodded, "Okay, I'll head to the county government immediately."

"No need, he's already here, waiting for you in the reception room."

Two minutes later, Ren Zhong met the magistrate.

The other party also seemed to feel some relief after surviving the chaos.

Not being implicated in the Alien Ore incident, this magistrate was indeed quite lucky.

"Mr. Ren, everyone in Nangao Town's township government is linked to the Wang family's underground laboratory and has been dealt with. This side needs to reorganize Nangao Town's functional departments. Do you have any suggestions?"

The other party asked very humbly.

Ren Zhong understood; it was the magistrate's pledge of loyalty.

Ren Zhong raised two fingers, "There are three candidates. I suggest one main and two deputies to counterbalance each other. The main one is responsible for appointing and dismissing town positions and external communication. The two deputies manage internal affairs. These three, one is named Zhou, one is named Peng, and for the third, I don't know the name, but he's quite influential in the town, you can ask around. Also, for the position of Nangao Town's Guard Captain, I recommend Yuan Qinh."

By this point, although Ren's group hadn't sent any staff or Scavengers into Nangao Town, there was no doubt that it had already become partially Ren Zhong's territory.

Once the corporate war breaks out, Nangao Town will become the bridgehead for Ren's group's westward advancement.

Ren Zhong's power landscape will expand from this point, continuously moving westward, annexing Chongyi County, surpassing Yangsheng City's inner regions, and entering West Lake County.

...

In the blink of an eye, eight days passed. At noon on the 149th day of the Ren Zhong Era, the corporate war officially began.

The elite five-thousand-strong Starfire Army advanced westward, entering the region of Nangao Town.

The seventy-thousand-strong Yangsheng Army split into five.

A total of ten thousand elite troops from the first division remained within Starfire Town.

There were four divisions of 1.5 million troops each, splitting into two paths. One with thirty-thousand troops began expanding eastward, directly targeting the remaining two towns of the three Liao Yuan towns.

The Yangsheng's first route army, formed by the second and third divisions, commanded by Zheng Tian, headed to Wangdong Town.

The second route army, formed by the fourth and fifth divisions, was commanded by Ren Zhong himself, heading to Zhaoshan Town.

According to Ren Zhong's plan, although he didn't have his own arsenal, his extensive capital gave him a unique advantage.

The Starfire Army will first station itself in Nangao Town, then dissolve into smaller units, infiltrating further west under the guise of scattered Scavengers, seizing Ruined Beast resources from other towns in Chongyi County, instigating conflict, and intensifying contradictions.

As for him, within three days he would completely overthrow the resource recovery companies of the other two towns, unifying Liao Yuan County.

Then with twelve thousand troops gathered, they would advance westward with overwhelming force, forcing the resource recovery companies in Chongyi County to submit.

Within no more than half a month, entirely capture Yangsheng City!
