Chapter 288 Growing Pains, The Price of Kindness

On the Origin Star, you can do a lot of things in one day.

After arriving outside the walls of Zhaoshan Town, Ren Zhong sent his newly trained first-class war artist to control a large-scale city-breaking machine built in advance to approach the city wall and conduct a tentative attempt to break the city.

However, several large-caliber heavy cannons that suddenly appeared on the city wall broke through the automatic weapon defense system, and the machine was instantly blown to pieces.

According to the rules of corporate warfare, this machine has clear property rights with Ren Zhong and is an asset of Ren Zhong. Therefore, the automatic protective firepower officially equipped by the town government on the high wall to resist the beasts will not be activated.

The intelligence provided by the previous spies showed that these heavy cannons were also deployed on the high walls.

Yesterday, when the corporate war started, all deserters and non-local citizens had their official watches confiscated by Zhaoshan Resources and were prohibited from contacting the outside world.

The spies have lost their effectiveness.

Now this artillery array suddenly appeared.

There is no doubt that this is the garrison force that the resource recycling company in Zhaoshan Town hired from the outside world on this day.

The next second, hundreds of mobile turrets appeared on the top of the city.

One after another, the scavengers whose lives he had spared yesterday appeared in the protective cockpit of the fort.

As the fort rotated, the muzzles of hundreds of huge black cannons were aimed at Ren Zhong.

It was at this time that Ren Zhong suddenly received a notice from the Tanggu Group.

Tanggu Group changed the rules of corporate warfare.

One of the unreasonable aspects of the previous rules was that the lives of sovereign citizens must not be harmed.

As for restricted citizens who have signed a slave contract, when they are passively involved in a war and forced to fight in battle, they will be treated as deserters and lose legal protection.

In addition, citizens who accepted an employment contract and went to fight in the war would automatically lose legal protection.

Restricted citizens and employed citizens are collectively referred to as non-sovereign citizens.

In previous corporate wars, this rule was sufficient.

Because there will be no sovereign citizen who can just live a peaceful life and meddle in the war.

Citizens who are level 7 or above top professionals who have the power to protect themselves among thousands of troops will not lower their status to accept employment from a town-level resource recycling company, and others cannot afford the price.

When the two armies are facing each other, even a seventh-level heavy-armed defensive mecha warrior may be killed if he is accidentally caught in a concentrated fire.

There are too many accidental factors in war, and risks and benefits are often not proportional.

Therefore, even if his own interests are at stake, even the owner of the resource recycling company who is about to be defeated will not end the battle personally. He will only take out some petty profits from his pocket and ask the barren people and employed non-sovereign citizens below to go to war.

Work hard to survive.

The final outcome is usually decided by deserters and non-sovereign citizens.

Which side has suffered such casualties that it has completely lost its combat effectiveness, so that the company is unable to maintain its resource mining business due to a shortage of manpower, or if all of its resource mining areas are firmly controlled by its opponent, then which side will naturally lose the battle.

This rule can effectively prevent some eager combatants from posing a threat to the lives of citizens when the defeated side is breached.

Business owners on both the advantaged and disadvantaged sides strongly support this rule.

Even if the money is gone, life is still there, and life is much more important than money.

The lives of sovereign citizens are precious.

But this time, Ren Zhong, a fifth-level sovereign citizen who had just killed a sixth-level ruin beast, ended up brazenly, completely breaking the balance of power on the field.

If this rule is not changed, one person will be able to overwhelm every town with such heavy burdens.

You can't kill him, but he is still ridiculously strong. This battle was never fought from the beginning.

As a result, within one day, the owners of resource recycling companies in nine other towns in Yangsheng City jointly filed a complaint, demanding that the rules be optimized.

They believe that if sovereign citizens themselves go to war and take part in the battle themselves, other forces must be given the power to kill them.

Unless this citizen only sits at the base and conducts remote control, then of course he cannot attack.

With the information monitoring accuracy of "Net", it is very easy to accurately determine whether a person is in combat status.

According to Tanggu Group's original intention, of course they don't want to agree.

Their real purpose is to support Ren Zhongzhong and allow him to flex his muscles, further practice his new management methods without angering the "net", and completely change the work efficiency of the town-level resource recycling company on Source Star.

, in order to achieve the purpose of hollowing out the resources of the Yuanxing Ruins beast before the great migration.

If Ren Zhong died prematurely in the war, who would he ask to reason with?

However, there are also compradors within the Tanggu Group, and these people quietly brought the matter to the association's senior board of elders.

The comprador forces in the elders teamed up to put pressure, and the Tanggu Group had no choice but to nod in approval.

Therefore, behind the notice received by Ren Zhong was a text message from the Tanggu Group President Office.

"The business owners of other town-level resource recycling companies will not go out in person. They enjoy absolute security and have no worries about self-protection. This is a trap for you. It is recommended that you return to Spark Town immediately."

After reading this information and looking towards the city head, Ren Zhong understood everything in an instant.

Liu Wanxiong has definitely received the commitment and funding from the owners of eight other town-level resource recycling companies in Yangsheng City.

This group of people united at the speed of light yesterday to fight against their own giant.

Since Liu Wanxiong, the boss of Zhaoshan Resources, enjoys absolute security.

Even if all his people were killed and he was severely damaged, he could sit back and relax without worrying about his revenge.

Of course Liu Wanxiong can confidently and boldly let his subordinates fight tooth and nail.

"Mr. Ren, withdraw your troops. We have prepared a total of two thousand mobile city defense guns, which are distributed throughout the city wall. Even if you prepare engineering equipment, you cannot get close to the city wall. These are real weapons of war, even if you

It may not be safe. To be honest, you are already within our range now."

Liu Xiaotao sent such a voice message to Ren Zhong.

Ren Zhong remained calm and replied: "According to the contract we signed yesterday, you are not allowed to threaten me with the lives of these barbarians today. I have already filed a complaint."

"It's useless, Mr. Ren, I haven't said anything now. It's just their own choice."

By this point in the conversation, Ren Zhong had already understood the truth.

The other party cheated.

The contract only said that Zhaoshan Resources would not threaten Huang Ren with his life, but it did not say that they would not use Huang Ren's relatives and friends to blackmail Huang Ren into fighting.

There is a literal trap here, and the logical relationship between the two does not conflict.

Ren Zhong secretly gritted his teeth and raised his hand.

"Retreat three miles, spread out our formation, and completely blockade Zhaoshan Town."

He had already obtained the drawings of the city defense artillery from Ju Qingmeng and knew its projectile speed performance.

After retreating three kilometers, the automatic protection energy cannon on the Qingfeng heavy truck can react in time and use the energy cannon to detonate its shells in advance.

"Mr. Ren, the town has sufficient supplies. You are stationed in the wild, and your supplies have to come from Xinghuo Town hundreds of kilometers away. You are also attacked by beasts at night. It will not be good for you to waste it like this. This corporate war seems to be an opportunity, but it is even more dangerous.

There are many risks. Just because you are strong, you will definitely win. After all, Mr. Ren, you are rich and valuable. There is no need, there is really no need. Just retreat."

Liu Xiaotao said again.

Ren Zhong kept silent and only activated the command system to observe the situation on Zheng Tian's side.

Yang Shengjun, who also had 30,000 soldiers, had a completely different effect on Zheng Tian's end.

Zheng Tian's army advanced all the way, and the enemy harassed them all the way.

Although the advance of the army was delayed very slowly, the military formation was very neat and had never been broken through. Zheng Tian's army suffered very few casualties along the way. On the contrary, the scavengers sent by Wangdong Town to carry out the harassment mission suffered heavy casualties.

Zheng Tian has been consuming the enemy's vitality.

At the same time, Zheng Tian even dispatched his elite troops in advance to break them into parts and break away from the large army. They traveled day and night and arrived at the wall of Wangdong Town at two o'clock this morning.

Subsequently, this group of elites took out the medium and long-range weapons represented by individual rocket launchers that had been prepared in advance, and continued to interfere with the construction team on the city wall.

Up to now, Zheng Tian's army has advanced to only fifty miles away from Wangdong Town, but only less than fifty city defense artillery pieces have been successfully installed in Wangdong Town.

Zheng Tian planned to attack directly after arriving, follow Ren Zhong's order, and capture Wangdong Town as quickly as possible.

There will definitely be casualties, but Zheng Tian and Chen Hanyu have already formulated a recruitment plan.

After taking Wangdong Town, General Zheng Tian replenished his troops on the spot, and it was easy to make up for 30,000 troops.

Comparing the two, Ren Zhong's mistakes were too big.

Strictly speaking, Ren Zhong's cutting-edge strength is far stronger than Zheng Tian's.

If he had chosen to take action yesterday and took advantage of the rules, he could have slaughtered more than 12,000 people from Zhaoshan Town by the river at a very low cost.

Although he himself is likely to be forced to become a massacre, which will damage the "kind" persona he established among the deserters, today Zhaoshan Town will become an empty city with almost no garrison.

Now this opportunity has slipped through his fingers.

If they attack at this time against the city defense artillery array, the Yangsheng Army will pay a heavy price, and the town will still be devastated.

Nothing good has been gained from the heavy workload.

He sighed deeply in his heart.

Kindness to others is cruelty to one's own people.

The barren life in Zhaoshan Town has been here for a long time, and so has the family business.

They have been firmly bound to Zhaoshan Town and have no choice.

If I let them go, who will let my soldiers go?

The essence of a soldier should be to only talk about positions, not right or wrong!

The most perfect situation that Ren Zhong had ever envisioned was to rely on his powerful military strength to defeat others without fighting.

After all, his preparations are so complete and his troops are so strong that his opponents should not have the courage to attempt resistance.

Then, both your own casualties and the enemy's casualties can be minimized.

But when the war actually started, he immediately realized his naivety.

These Source Star citizens who were accustomed to exploiting the desert people were more cunning and vicious than he imagined.

They understand the rules of Source Star more thoroughly.

They didn't care at all about the life or death of the deserted man who was forcibly tied to their warship.

Since their lives are safe anyway, of course they can afford the gamble.

It's a pity to lose, but what if you win?

According to the rules of corporate warfare, they will be able to divide the assets of Spark Resources.

Today's Spark Resources, with the support of Ren Zhong, is worth at least tens of billions!

This bet is worthless!

The utilitarianism of these people and the dark side of human nature have been magnified to the extreme!

Ren Zhong reflected that his opponents were all devils, and since he was always so kind, he would definitely lose.

The "pretended" kindness in order to maintain the persona also cost oneself.

I was wrong.

How wrong I was.

I am not a qualified military commander.

Ren Zhongzhong gave himself a slap in the face.

When the subordinates next to him saw this, they were all shocked and heard the situation in unison.

Ren Zhong smiled slightly and said, "It's nothing, I'm just going to wake myself up. I'm going to stay in place and set up camp. I have to calm down and think of a solution again."

"Ah? Then we want to join forces?"

Deputy Commander Tang Shuying asked with a frown.

Ren Zhongyi waved his hand: "No. Split into twenty battalions. Each battalion has 1,500 people, and each battalion retains 300 elites to take charge of the night watch. Note that one of the five elites must be selected. All automatic weapons are on full alert.

.The other side can’t break our defense.”

Tang Shuying quickly objected, "This won't work! At least five thousand people should be left in the Chinese army. If the other side hires powerful desperadoes to attack at night, how can your safety be guaranteed, Mr. Ren? Not to mention the Mengdu Group...

…”

Although Ren Zhong did not publicly announce the newly adjusted corporate war rules, Tang Shuying, as a newly promoted citizen recently specially promoted by Ma Dafu, and had not signed a slave contract with Ren Zhong, had already participated in the war and also received the notice.

She knew that the current task no longer included an "invincible golden body".

Other first-class citizens in the team who were previously responsible for mass production, as non-sovereign citizens participating in the war, did not receive the notice.

But Ren Zhong shook his head stubbornly, "It doesn't matter. They have to sleep at night. Source people don't have the habit of moving at night. Besides, I am a fifth-level citizen."

When saying the last words, Ren Zhong winked at Tang Shuying and gave her a hint.

"Uh, this..."

Tang Shuying was stunned.

She felt very strange.

Ren Zhong shouldn't be such a negligent person.

What was he trying to do by concealing the rule change?

But seeing that Ren Zhong had made up his mind, she finally stopped mentioning the matter, and asked again: "Then if the elites are responsible for keeping watch at night, what about tomorrow during the day? The other party will definitely not just want to waste us here, every time

The longer it takes, the more likely the other side will hire reinforcements from outside. I suggest..."

"Captain Tang, I have made a decision."

"Okay...okay."

After the meeting, Ren Zhong invited Tang Shuying to his mobile office and whispered: "After ten o'clock in the evening, let Chen Meng drive a small shuttle back to Xinghuo Town quickly, go to the biochemical laboratory, and take Sun Ai with him. We must

Be back before twelve o'clock."

Tang Shuying was slightly shocked, "What are you asking Xiao Ai to do here?"

But the next second she immediately recalled the newborn Sun Ai quietly taking over the electronic equipment of the biochemical laboratory, and then recalled the urban defense artillery array in Zhaoshan Town.

She suddenly understood.

The two looked at each other and nodded in unison.

Ren Zhong's biggest advantage is actually not that he never makes mistakes.

No one in the world can never make mistakes, not even the smartest people.

But in addition to Ren Zhong's ability to restart, he is also a person who is very good at summarizing, willing to face his own mistakes, and can quickly calm down and find a remedy.

It's not too late to make amends.

Ren Zhong is very smart and somewhat conceited, but he is willing to admit his mistakes.

Of course he knew that there must be other arrangements in Zhaoshan Town that could break his siege.

These people even want to kill themselves.

The reason why he put up a "stupid" military formation of inserting bids and selling out was because he was waiting for the opponent's night attack.

Make up for the mistakes you make yourself.

The Night Stalker form of Ren Zhong has not been born for a long time.

Many people in Spark Town know that he has disrupted the biological clock many times.

But no one knows that he is really not afraid of staying up late at all, including Liu Wanxiong of course.

Tonight he will transform into the devil and start hunting again.

The targets of the hunt are the masters who will be sent to attack at night and perform beheading operations, as well as those who dare to play tricks on him, including Liu Wanxiong.

The other party will use the rules, and so will Ren Zhong.

He has already thought of ways to kill sovereign citizens reasonably and legally.

Today, although Ren Zhong has not fired a single shot and no one in the team has died, he has faced the price of kindness and experienced the pain of growing up.

He learned a new lesson from the Source Star.

Compassion does not command troops, otherwise it will harm others and itself.

Even "pretended" kindness can be taken advantage of.

You shouldn't think about "personality" on the battlefield.

The psychological expectations of the Origin Star Desolate people have been lowered to the extreme.

Even if he killed Huang Ren's family on the battlefield, it was a confrontation between two armies and there was no choice.

As long as you show kindness after the war, you can still win over people's hearts.

When I first determined to make a revolution, I should have thought of this day.

There is no bloodless revolution in human civilization!

In order to change the times and save the tens of billions of humans who are trapped in eternal suffering and are more likely to be slaughtered for their brains or forced to become human brain trees in the near future, what if I become the butcher today?
