After finishing writing the manuscript, Ren Zhong put down his pen and lay back on the chair. The scene from the documentary immediately reappeared in his mind.
Even though he had personally witnessed these things, even if he had reviewed them while editing the video, as soon as he thought about them, the adrenaline would continue to flow uncontrollably, his heartbeat would speed up, and his breathing would become heavy.
When logistics was disrupted and food was in short supply, a large number of citizens evacuated, taking away most of the town's stored supplies when they left.
Subsequently, changing children and eating them is only the preliminary stage.
There are also many small towns that have fallen into complete chaos and become pure predators of the jungle.
The streets turned into slaughterhouses, blood was spilled all over the streets, and prices were set for meat of different ages, genders, and different parts.
This kind of town was renamed Blood Town by Ren.
There are also small towns with strong military strength that temporarily found food substitutes and sent out teams after teams of people to hunt.
It's just that the objects of hunting have changed from half-living, half-metal, basically inedible beasts to organic animals.
This category of organic animals also includes wild people.
Citizens exploit the deserted people in the small town, and the deserted people in the small town use their better equipment advantages and cooperation capabilities to slaughter the deserted people in the wild.
A new food chain is born here.
This type of town is called Butcher Town by Ren Zhong.
The characteristics of the previous small towns are different, but these butchers and executioners all follow an unspoken rule subtly, that is, they cannot use the human brain.
A larger number of hunters can always appear in time and take away these precious resources.
No matter how many people die at the same time, the hunters will always be busy.
Ren Zhong also asked Ou Youning to inquire, and then he knew the reason.
It turns out that someone once wasted human brains, but the end result was that they were quickly attacked by hunters.
There is another type of town where the situation is even weirder. When Ren Zhong arrived, no one here was thinking clearly, not even the baby.
The movement was slow and stiff, and the rotten man wandered and moved aimlessly on the street.
When they sense the breath of carbon-based creatures, they will suddenly become active again, making inhuman gestures at an inhuman speed, killing like beasts, and their movements are so fast that they don't look like humans, but more like agile beasts.
At that time, Ren Zhong silently watched the virus overdose alarm given by his armor's air filter detection system.
There is no need to investigate the truth anymore. In all likelihood, this town has become the experimental field of the Mengdu Group.
It was a failed genetic fusion experiment that created a legion of the walking dead.
Ren Zhong named this type of town Monster Town, and expressionlessly slaughtered all the walking corpses that looked both human and inhuman, and then burned the entire town to the ground.
Ren Zhong has also seen many towns that were completely overrun by the tide of beasts, and rescued several hungry orphans from the ruins.
Ren Zhong also discovered a very strange phenomenon.
According to historical records, past beast outbreaks always followed certain patterns. Although beast tides are terrifying, they rarely appear in large areas in the same area, and they always leave a breathing space for human reproduction.
Moreover, when a horde of beasts captures a town, they often only stay there for a while, eat to their heart's content, and then immediately disperse and retreat to the mountains and forests.
But this time, the beast tide did not disperse after gathering. After taking over a small town and looting it completely, they actually took the initiative to move en masse to a nearby town, absorbing more ruin beasts on the way and forming a new wave. A huge army of beasts.
It seemed that after the "net" disappeared, the Ruins beast's actions completely lost their order.
Ren Zhong shook his head hard, putting aside these memories for the time being.
Then he called Ou Youning and said, "You can go and notify someone."
At two o'clock in the afternoon, a large group of people came to Ren Zhong's office, including Ju Qingmeng, Yu Jin, Chen Hanyu, Zheng Tian, Bai Feng, Ou Youning, Wen Lei, Sun Miao, Wang Zhaofu, Tang Shuying, and Ma's father and daughter.
Everyone was a little confused when they met outside the office. They didn't know why Ren Zhong suddenly summoned him. He only said that he had important matters to announce.
After everyone sat down, Ren Zhong waved his hands and said: "Everyone here is my most trusted person. I have told you very roughly about my ideals before, and you have a general idea."
"But what I said was not thorough enough, and my own thoughts at the time were not systematic. My knowledge was not broad enough. I once thought that Spark Town was extremely bad. But this time, after visiting more places, I learned more After seeing this, I realized my naivety and came up with some new ideas.”
"Now I have to re-explain my understanding so that you can see the whole picture of my thinking. First watch the documentary. This film records what I have seen and heard in the past month and what I was thinking at the time."
Two hours later, the documentary titled "Purgatory on Earth" came to an end, and the office fell silent.
Everyone was stunned and in disbelief.
Ren Zhong tapped the table lightly, "According to my investigation, in fact, many small towns were like this before the network was disconnected, and they have remained like this for many years. Are you surprised, are you confused? Obviously before When the 'Net' existed, information was so developed that we could obviously look up information about any place in the sleeping space and use holographic projection to enter any town, but we have never seen it."
"The reason is very simple. The 'Net' has covered up this information. Under the strict control of the 'Net', we can only see what it wants us to see. It has been tampering with everyone's cognition and controlling everyone. Human thinking. People in these small towns don’t think there’s anything wrong with their behavior. In their eyes, that’s how humans should be.”
"However, in the eyes of people in Spark Town, this is obviously wrong. Different regions and different groups of people have been given different worldviews by the 'Net'."
"In addition, now you also know that there are two levels of history on the Source Star. The first level is the origin theory of the Source Star in the cognition of the barren people, and the second level is the ten thousand-year history in the eyes of ordinary citizens. So, which history is it? Is it true? We don’t know.”
"The past is past, and what really matters is the present and the future. Now, we see this phenomenon. We have to figure out why this is happening."
"As I said before, under the control of the 'net', people are no longer human, or people no longer regard the same kind as the same kind, then everything that follows is logical."
"Then, continue to spread the problem. Do the desolate people who have fallen into the bottom have a chance to change their destiny and truly live like a human being? Now I have changed the lives of people in Yangsheng City, Jianghao City and Zhansha County. But it goes further. There is nothing I can do about it. You already know how to live, and you have also seen that the desolate people under our rule are not really worthless."
"Then, let's move forward in time. If the 'Net' still exists, can the Desolate Man change his destiny? No. I did it, but I was the only new citizen in the entire Spark Town in the past ten years, and even more so. The only person in Yangsheng City who has been promoted from a deserter to a level five citizen or above in the past ten years. Looking at the world, how many people like me are there?"
"There is an invisible shackle that covers everything, controls everything, suppresses everything. It cuts off the promotion ladder of the people at the bottom, uses the association as its claws, and establishes a pyramid system that can never be broken. So, is this correct? This way What can the rules create?”
"Let me take Yu Jin and Zheng Tian as examples again. Facts have proved that both of you can take on important responsibilities. You have good talents and strong enough self-discipline. As long as you are given the opportunity, you can show your talents and you can Within the system of my Ren Group, I will make a contribution equal to one hundred or even one thousand."
"Now every day, new students graduate from our college with excellent results and take up one position after another. Among these people are citizens, temporary deserters, and even wilderness deserters. These people can serve for I, Ren Group, create more resources.”
"But, without my presence, Zheng Tian and you would have died tragically in the hands of Lin Wang, and Yu Jin, you would have died of poverty and the fists of an unknown semi-professional scavenger. There are many people like you in the world. , the productivity represented by this type of people’s work ability, talent, and mobility is being wasted extravagantly. It’s like in a desert city that is short of water, there is always a huge faucet pouring water into the ground.”
"But, are the humans of Source Star really not short of water?"
"lack!"
"Sun Miao, you are a senior scientific researcher. You know how many years the scientific and technological level of humans in Yuanxing has not improved. All so-called scientific researchers, including the nine major enterprises, are essentially just technologies provided by the empire. Translator of product manuals. How can such a Source Star human have the capital to enter the interstellar era?"
"Even if senior citizens, including me, really go to the stars, what is the meaning of our existence? We are just a bunch of pigs without intelligence and value."
"Yes, we are pigs, pigs that produce brains. Now, let me tell you what the real contribution point is, the cosmological constant, the cosmic hash value..."
…
"Everyone, humanity on Source Star has never had a real future. Deep in the starry sky is eternal slavery in the dark."
“What can we do to escape this slavery?”
"That is to return civilization to its true form! Within a limited time, let every person with potential get enough education, step into the right position, and complete the greatest achievement that his talent can support him to accomplish!"
"Only when we allow everyone to be the master of their own country and control their own destiny can we truly unleash the potential of our civilization! Only by spreading the rules of the Ren Group to every inch of the Yuanxing galaxy can this The decayed Origin Star civilization has turned into a war machine that is truly capable of competing for the stars and fighting for the future. Otherwise, even if there is cryonics, even if we can time travel, the end of the journey will still be destruction."
"Everyone, we have to make a revolution, and we will definitely succeed. Because everyone has the instinct to long for a better life, our ideas can be recognized by the vast majority of people below level five citizens, and victory will eventually belong to us."
