"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 box when he said this.
On the hospital bed, Hewitt Augustus' originally cloudy eyes suddenly lit up with surprise.
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.
It makes no sense 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 because of the deep love between uncle and nephew, or maybe just because of stupidity, this middle-aged man with the same flowing blond hair as the young Hewitt said stubbornly and bravely, "Lord Viscount, I have
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, we each
Everyone makes mistakes. In the past two decades, he has performed his duties as the helmsman of the Mengdu Group well. In these years, the 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 burned his life to serve 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 short-term explosion after normal accumulation, even though most of these so-called achievements are related to the Mengdu Group.
The legion beast plan is inseparable from the tree plan. In essence, it is still serving Li Yang, but it is indeed useful. But, 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 feel 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 physical therapy massage to alleviate muscle atrophy as much as possible gradually surged upward, 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 in his eyes.
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 huff and puff, 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 sputum.
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 scream.
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, giving you no peace forever!"
The next second, Ren Zhong squeezed 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 blood 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 will never happen again in the future. Your Augustus family seems to have a strong opinion against me. Therefore, in order to prevent possible chaos caused by betrayal in the future, the Mengdu Group will become my property, yours 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 downwards 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 stared angrily 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 the head with the brain removed 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 turns around and leaves here, 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 the Origin Star and has the same function. This is a small hunter active in various ships. It is a joint product of the Origin Star Military Industry and the Spark 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 here gradually learned from their respective information channels about the "tragedy" that occurred on hundreds of transport ships, mainly related to personnel from the Mengdu Group.
Approximately a thousand high-ranking citizens within the Mengdu Group system were executed. The execution methods 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 due to 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 gaining power was not to control the situation and prepare for the upcoming great migration.
He was just unscrupulously and frantically obsessed with a personal feud from nearly twenty years ago, and 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 a little 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 the 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, 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 my mood has become a little better. Now I announce the 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 hours later
Within, let everyone complete boarding and all preparations, and then the fleet will be dispatched directly and set off for the empire!"
After hearing his second order, everyone involuntarily breathed a sigh of relief.
But this was a normal order, indicating 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 delay in the entire process is 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, dismissal... dissolve the Presbyterian Church, dissolve the original military department... dissolve the Securities Regulatory Office..."
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 with whom he had interacted before to the top, while marginalizing all the strangers he did not understand.
His behavior seemed a bit playful, completely skipping the transition.
But under absolute power, no one dares to say no.
"Very good, 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 one more nominal viscount. The actual hegemonic emperor is above everyone's head, and this emperor is himself.
"well."
In the deserted throne hall, Ren Zhong sighed quietly alone.
He looked up at the sky.
He once thought about taking over the power and then gradually delegating it, trying to promote a republic.
But after he finished reading the triple history of Source Star and learned about the nature of the Machine Empire, he found that this idea was completely meaningless.
The higher-level ruling systems are all imperial systems. The implementation of the so-called republic on the Source Star is purely a wishful thinking and will put everyone in danger.
This time, you really have to be a gregarious person.
After waiting for a while, a figure appeared at the side door of the throne room, and then walked quickly over.
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 and was not thawed together, her awakening time was 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.
Ren Zhong grinned, "Different situations require different strategies. I just have to take responsibility for the Origin Star Civilization. I have my own responsibilities, and I don't have to explain it to anyone."
Xiao Xingyue trembled her lips, but said nothing and just stepped aside.
An alloy chair rose from beneath her.
She sat down, turned away, and said nothing.
After waiting for a while, Ju Qingmeng, Ma Xiaoling, Zheng Tian, Ou Youning, Shi Lin, Huo Donghua, Hua Yuelan and others appeared one after another.
Compared with Xiao Xingyue, who has a particularly keen sense of smell, Ma Xiaoling is cheerful and relaxed after achieving a dream.
Ju Qingmeng and Zheng Tian also had joy in their eyes.
These people all know the secret of Ren Zhongjia and his real plan.
There are still a few people missing in the conference room, such as Chen Hanyu, Wen Lei, Yu Jin, Hu Yang and others.
These people are also old team members with heavy responsibilities, deeply trusted and outstanding in ability.
They will stay.
Their mission is to maintain the system established by the Ren Group and ensure that the Origin Star Civilization will not fall into chaos after the upper levels of the power pyramid are evacuated.
"Although we need to use cryo-sleep most of the time to escape the damage of time during the long journey, the fleet has a population of two billion and still needs a strong enough personnel management system. Now we are appointing Ju Qingmeng as the political affairs officer
, Zheng Tian serves as the military affairs officer, Ma Xiaoling serves as the legal affairs officer, Huo Donghua serves as... Xiao Xingyue serves as the secret review department affairs officer, and has the same functions as the former Psychokinesis Association. "
As Ren Zhong named one place after another, a new power structure surrounding him gradually emerged.
