"Now, I issue my first order. There is no voting, it will be executed directly."
After the entire audience was silent for three minutes, Ren Zhong turned his eyes slightly and spoke softly.
Although everyone was in the video conference chat room, inexplicably, most people felt that Ren Zhong's eyes fell on Hewitt Augustus's video frame when he said this.
On the hospital bed, Hewitt Augustus' originally cloudy eyes suddenly lit up with extremely surprised light.
More than ten years ago, many memories before being controlled by Li Yang flooded into his mind. The dying Hewitt Augustus had already guessed what Ren Zhong's No. 1 order would be.
His lips trembled as he struggled to say something. .
But after a moment, he turned away numbly and said no more.
There's no point anymore.
Hewitt Augustus gave up the struggle, but there are always those who are stubborn, or those who are lucky, such as a nephew of Hewitt Augustus, who is now a member of the Supreme Council of Elders. Great elder.
Maybe it was really because of the deep love between uncle and nephew, or maybe it was just because of stupidity. This middle-aged man with the same flowing blond hair as the young Hewitt said stubbornly and bravely, "Your Majesty Viscount, I There are different opinions. Now we should focus on the Great Migration Plan, and other things are minutiae. Although my uncle was once controlled by the hateful Psychic Demon, it was not his fault. To be wrong, every one of us Everyone makes mistakes. In the past two decades, he has performed his duties as the helmsman of Mengdu Group well. In these years, Mengdu Group has greatly promoted the advancement of biomedical technology and invented and created patented pharmaceuticals. Comparable to the total of the past 980 years! My uncle’s contribution can effectively help the Great Migration Plan. You can’t treat a hero who dedicated his life to the empire like this!”
Ren Zhong turned his eyes, seeming a little surprised.
After a moment, he smiled and said, "In a sense, you are right. Although the so-called achievements of the Mengdu Group are just a sudden explosion after normal accumulation, even though most of these so-called achievements are related to the Mengdu Group's The Legion Beast Project is inseparable from the Tree Project. In essence, it still serves Li Yang, but it is indeed useful. However, I just want to kill him."
After saying that, Ren Zhong spread his hands.
The brave elder of the Augustus family argued hard, "Sir Viscount, the conflict between you and my uncle is a thing of the past! And it was all Li Yang's fault!"
Ren Zhong: "The conflict between me and him happened before Li Yang appeared, so there is no point in arguing. He has tried to kill me, more than once."
The middle-aged elder of the Augustus family: "If you, Lord Viscount, want to gain control of the Mengdu Group, why don't you let him abdicate and sleep? And he is already dying! Does this make sense?"
Ren Zhong: "Yes, it will make me very happy. I just want him to die alive."
After saying that, Ren Zhong snapped his fingers.
Under everyone's gaze, the hospital bed under Hewitt Augustus suddenly started to move. The massager that was originally used to give him a physical therapy massage to relieve his wretched muscles as much as possible gradually surged up, like quicksand. Hewitt's body covered it.
Hewitt Augustus' eyes were finally no longer cloudy, and he seemed to realize what was about to happen.
His eyes widened and he looked at the video camera with fear.
He opened his mouth wide, as if he wanted to yell something.
But a mouthful of thick phlegm surged up from his lungs and blocked his throat. He could only scream repeatedly, making a sound like a broken bellows.
At this moment, a spiral flexible robotic arm inserted into his mouth like lightning and helped him remove phlegm.
He was finally able to let out his roar before dying.
The middle-aged elder of the Augustus family seemed to be aware of Ren Zhong's purpose. He had a look of horror on his face and opened his mouth to shout.
But before he could say the word "no", Hewitt had already used the last strength of his life to shout loudly.
"Ren Zhong, you lowly bastard! Why do you kill me! Even if I die, I will turn into a vicious flow of information in the universe and stay in your nightmares, leaving you with no peace forever!"
The next second, Ren Zhong clenched his fist slightly.
The massager covering Hewitt's body like quicksand suddenly tightened, crushing his head, every organ in his body, and his brain.
Bang!
Hewitt suddenly burst open like a balloon, and blood splashed out, dyeing the picture on the camera red.
The picture only dimly showed mottled colors of red, black, and white. It was not beautiful, but full of blood.
Later, Ren Zhong's eyes turned to the video frame of the middle-aged elder of the Augustus family who had talked a lot before, and he smiled and said: "As an absolutely centralized dictator, I have generously and kindly explained so much to you. . This kind of thing will never happen again in the future. Your Augustus family seems to have a big opinion against me, so in order to prevent possible chaos caused by betrayal in the future, the Mengdu Group will become my industry, you and others Some relevant personnel who may cause hidden dangers can die."
"No……"
The man seemed to want to defend himself, but he had no chance.
Suddenly, a bright light flashed across the screen, and the man's neck disappeared out of thin air.
Before his head hit the ground, several metal arms stretched out from above and caught him steadily.
One of the metal arms hangs from the Tianling Cover, with a shimmering light at the top and a circle around the head.
Throughout the whole process, this middle-aged man actually had an expression on his face. Underneath the ferocious distortion, there was deep confusion and confusion, as well as indescribable resentment.
He even glared at the camera and wanted to say something.
It wasn't until the moment his brain was completely removed that the ever-changing expression on his face suddenly stopped, like a frozen fish.
Then, the metal arm was retracted, and the Tianling Cap and head fell to the ground like discarded garbage.
The camera has the function of automatically capturing moving objects. The screen rotates, and a crawler robot about three meters high is seen leaving here and heading into the distance along the long corridor.
Everyone in the meeting recognized this thing.
It has the same origin as the flying-wing hunter in the atmosphere of Yuanxing and has the same function. This is a small hunter active in various ships. It is a joint product of Yuanxing Military Industry and Starfire Military Industry. Although it is smaller, It even looks a little cute, but the miniature energy main gun used is actually more powerful, and its own defense has been qualitatively improved after the material update.
After a long time, the tracked predator turned and disappeared from the passage shot.
There was silence in the video conference room for a while.
Soon, everyone present learned about the "tragedy" that occurred on hundreds of transport ships, mainly related to the Mengdu Group, from their respective information channels.
Approximately a thousand high-ranking citizens within the Maungdaw Group system were executed. The methods of execution varied. Some were killed by hunters, some were killed by weapons and equipment that suddenly went out of control, and some were killed by liquid faceless men.
These nearly a thousand people have one thing in common. They have all been charged by the Moral Trial Committee under Ren Zhong, but they have all been exempted from immunity because of their senior citizen status of level seven or above.
Now, Ren Zhong, the terrifying iron-blooded dictator, has gained absolute dominance.
The first thing he did after getting power was not to control the situation and prepare for the upcoming Great Migration.
He was just unscrupulously and frantically obsessed with the personal grudges from nearly twenty years ago. He even killed nearly a thousand high-ranking citizens at will, knowing that it would cause turmoil to the Mengdu Group and cause the situation to become unstable.
Ma Xiacheng, Gao Ya and Tang Youyun, who had some understanding of Ren Zhong, felt extremely twisted and even sad.
In the past, some people once regarded Ren Zhong as a friend, while others felt that Ren Zhong was too kind and even wanted to sympathize with Huang Ren even if he challenged the existing rules of Source Star.
Now they find that those are just disguises.
This man is clearly bloodthirsty and crazy at his core, and is ruthless to the extreme.
Looking at the still expressionless Ren Zhong in the picture, some people had mixed emotions, and some people just felt fear, and even subconsciously looked around in private, trying to get further away from the lethal smart devices around them, but in vain they found that " After the "net" was restored, no matter on the ship or anywhere, there was no safe place on the Source Star.
In the picture, Ren Zhong took two steps and came to the middle of the throne room inside the Tracer. He sat directly on the imperial apostle throne that belonged to him, leaned back slightly, and then spoke again.
"Very good, now I feel a little better. Now I announce my second order. At present, most of the people with tickets have boarded the ship, and only millions of people are still on the ground. Eight The boarding and all preparations will be completed within an hour, and then the fleet will be dispatched directly to the empire!"
After hearing his second order, everyone involuntarily breathed a sigh of relief.
But it was a normal order, which showed that he had regained his senses.
Here, following Ren Zhong's order, Sun Ai, who transformed into "Net", quickly disassembled this summary order and issued it to the watches of everyone involved.
The entire process takes less than one second.
Afterwards, the Origin Star Civilization began to move like a human body controlled by the brain.
"The third order, personnel appointments and removals, without objection. Removal of Chief Elder Donald Yalson, removal of..."
Ren Zhong read a long list of names.
After listening, everyone knew what he thought.
Among the nine major groups, Ren Zhong promoted some second-generation people who had interacted with each other to the top, and marginalized all the strangers he did not understand.
It seemed like he was acting this way, skipping the transition entirely.
But under absolute power, no one dares to say no.
"Very well, let's break up."
Ren Zhong waved his hand, the video conference ended, and the picture in front of everyone returned to darkness.
Since then, before the Great Migration, Ren Zhong completely reshaped the power structure within the Source Star and the fleet.
If you want to trace everything back to his original intention, then he has probably completed a revolution.
But deep down he was not satisfied.
He felt that the revolution had actually failed.
Although the nine frozen elders have disappeared, there is another nominal viscount. The actual hegemonic emperor is above everyone's head, but this emperor is himself.
"well."
In the empty throne hall, Ren Zhong sighed quietly alone.
He looked up at the sky.
He once thought about gradually delegating power after taking over the power and trying to promote a republic.
But after he read the triple history of Origin Star and learned the nature of the Machine Empire, he found that this idea was meaningless at all.
The higher-level ruling systems are all monarchical, and the implementation of the so-called republic on the Source Star is purely a dream, trying to fish out the moon in the water.
After waiting for a while, a figure appeared at the side door of the throne hall, and then walked quickly.
The person coming is Xiao Xingyue.
"You have changed." She walked down, looked up at Ren Zhong on Gao Zuo's throne, and said quietly.
Her eyes were a little complicated.
Ren Zhong remained silent.
About fifteen years ago, when Ren Zhong entered cryogenic slumber, Xiao Xingyue also entered deep slumber at the same time.
However, because she did not enter the inner circle of responsibility, she woke up even later.
As a telekinesis practitioner with little actual combat ability, she did not participate in the final battle and only acted as a war reporter from afar.
When Ren Zhong sent out a signal to summon his cronies just now, Sun Ai also recognized her as a crony and sent the message.
Unexpectedly, she came first.
……………………Word count filling, replacement after fifteen minutes…………
"Very well, let's break up."
Ren Zhong waved his hand, the video conference ended, and the picture in front of everyone returned to darkness.
