Resurrection Empire

Chapter 808 307: Leaving It to You_3

Hua Yuelan asked what was on everyone's mind.

Ren Zhong shook his head, "Why would I joke about something like this? Speaking of which, I just made an attempt."

Hua Yuelan: "What attempt?"

"You've seen it too. The Scavengers from Beihai, Xifeng, and Nangao within Chongyi County are all moving in the same direction. Each town has about twenty thousand people moving out, and after converging, they form a massive force of fifty-five thousand people."

"The Wang Corporation has undoubtedly intervened in the enterprise war, forming an alliance among the Chongyi Three Towns. They are gathering very close to the border between Nangao Town and Starfire Town. I suspect they will attempt to forcibly break through Starfire Town's defense line. So, I intended to send a message to warn the people in Starfire Town, but no matter whom I sent the message to, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, without any response."

"However, when I directly asked Starfire Army Commander Zheng Tian whether she had eaten, she immediately replied to me, simply telling me not to worry. I also tried to have a conversation with my partner Ju Qingmeng, and when we were chatting about mundane things, everything was fine, but as soon as our discussion involved any war dynamics, I was immediately silenced. It didn't work even if I used some cryptic language."

"No doubt, the 'Net' has isolated those involved in the pilot enterprise war in Yangsheng City, preventing us spectators from providing intelligence to the participants. The 'Net's filtration and isolation of information is seamless."

Ren Zhong sighed and said.

He recalled his experiences during the last enterprise war he participated in.

At that time, he knew people outside were watching the livestream and wondered why Ying Hao, the Tanggu Group, and Purple Crystal Mining were not providing him with any information assistance.

Now he understood that from the moment the war began, everyone in Yangsheng City was plunged into an information isolation.

Hua Yuelan shrugged and said, "What's the big deal, getting so worked up. This is a very basic operation for the 'Net'. You have to know, the 'Net' utilizes a super big data system to filter not just a bit of information every day, but the vast amount of information generated every moment in every corner of the Source Star System."

Ren Zhong nodded, "The Empire that created the 'Net' is really unimaginably powerful."

Time continued to advance, and the fiercest skirmish first occurred within Wangdong Town.

The Starfire Soldiers swept through all the areas within Wangdong Town like an autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, eliminating Ruined Beasts with tremendous speed.

As for Wangdong Town, they too dispatched Scavengers to carry out a rescue-style exploitation of the Ruined Beast resources outside.

The two sides occasionally encountered each other in the wild.

The Starfire Soldiers possessed superior combat abilities, capable of confronting a formation of twenty opponents even with just a six-member team.

After a series of firefights, the Starfire Army achieved consecutive victories. The Starfire Soldiers didn't kill the captives; they only confiscated the opponents' equipment and then released the individuals.

Between six in the evening and eight at night, in just two hours, the two sides engaged in over a hundred minor and major skirmishes, most of which ended in the Starfire Soldiers' complete victory.

The Scavengers of Wangdong Town lost equipment for over three thousand people, suffered nearly a thousand casualties, and about two thousand were repatriated to Wangdong Town.

After probing the tactical patterns of the Starfire Soldiers, Wangdong Town began dispatching Fourth Level professionals, attempting to hunt with the strong against the weak.

At this time, Starfire Town's stronger elite forces displayed their advantage.

Bai Feng and Jiang Kai, two Level Five Professionals, led a dozen or so Fourth Level professionals dispersed within the formation, acting as a mobile strike force. Upon receiving any distress signals from the squads, the powerful operatives would rapidly converge with the advantage of high-performance transportation, forming a tactical situation of strong against weak within a small radius under the unified coordination of Zheng Tian.

By nine o'clock at night, after losing three Fourth Level professionals consecutively, the head of Wangdong Resources abandoned the failed "Tian Ji's horse race" strategy and began a full retreat of their main force, merely driving out over thirty thousand Scavengers like cannon fodder to engage in night-time field battles with the Starfire Army to deplete the Starfire Army's operational capacity.

But Zheng Tian had anticipated their plan, and with one command, the forty thousand troops quickly regrouped, moving into an Underground City of a Scavenger tribe located one hundred and ten kilometers away from Wangdong Town, starting to camp there. About thirty thousand members went into early hypnosis to rest, while another ten thousand stood guard at night.

This underground city wasn't discovered by chance; it came from a previous tribe of originally four thousand Scavengers who had been invited to Starfire Town by Shi Xuan in advance.

The space within the underground city was cramped, but just about sufficient.

Zheng Tian's feint maneuver left the opponent's cannon fodder troops aiming at nothing.

By past eleven at night, Wangdong Town's cannon fodder troops could no longer persevere and had to gradually withdraw.

On Ren Zhong's side, he saw the casualty statistics of Wangdong Town through the livestream.

The death toll was as high as four thousand, with over seven thousand injured.

The majority of these people did not die at the hands of the Starfire Soldiers, but were attacked and killed by more active Ruined Beasts during their night operations.

Ren Zhong watched with a calm demeanor.

In the hibernation space, Huo Donghua's eyes sparkled with excitement.

Clearly, Ren Zhong had some excellent military commanders under his command.

Qian Wangshen, however, was focused on something else.

In the hibernation space, he had a close one-on-one conversation with Ren Zhong, asking, "Mr. Ren, I noticed that your troops are using a lot of customized and modified equipment. For instance, your Qingfeng Heavy Trucks can disassemble their cabs, and the compartments can be modularly dismantled, allowing you to pack more than six thousand modified Qingfeng Heavy Trucks into this small underground city. And also those rapidly assembled bunker constructions. Are these additional orders you placed with Source Star Military Industry?"

Ren Zhong shook his head, "No. These were improvements made independently by some military personnel after I was captured. I have a Mecha Warrior named Wen Lei who's particularly good at assembling vehicles. Commander Zheng Tian provided the concept, and he perfected its execution."

Qian Wangshen was slightly surprised, "The Wen Lei you're talking about, which school did he attend?"

Ren Zhong: "University of Society."

"Huh?"

"Self-taught."

Qian Wangshen: "..."
