Resurrection Empire-Chapter 863 - 333: Disconnected, the Great Era
After waiting for about half an hour, Sun Miao and Tang Shuying coincidentally returned to the Biological Laboratory.
The two met upstairs and exchanged a few words, immediately realizing something was amiss.
They rushed into the basement, finding Ren Zhong intently focused on the holographic projection from the control panel.
Sun Miao looked around, seeing no one.
Tang Shuying directly asked, "President Ren, where is Sun Ai?"
Ren Zhong swiveled his chair and replied, "She's already left."
Tang Shuying still seemed puzzled, "Huh? Where did she go?" 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
Knowing more details, Sun Miao shivered slightly, stepped forward quickly, and coughed lightly, "Tang Shuying, it's best not to ask about this matter."
Upon hearing Sun Miao's tone, Tang Shuying immediately understood the gravity of Sun Ai's situation. Though her heart held a sense of foreboding, she still forced herself to control her emotions.
She didn't want to add difficulties for Ren Zhong.
She looked at the two of them again and asked, "Should I leave now, so you two can talk?"
Ren Zhong shook his head, "No need. But I can only tell you that Sun Ai's task is very important. It's related to each of our most desired goals. What you want revenge for, what Sun Miao wants to save, what I want to change... it's all connected."
Sun Miao sighed, "I understand the rationale. But after all, she is... Well, she should at least have let me be there, watching over her."
Ren Zhong: "She said she didn't want you all to be saddened."
"So, it has to be this way?" Tang Shuying walked over to the cultivation tank, gently stroking its surface, her tone bleak, her expression desolate, "Honestly, it's unnecessary; I'm not that fragile."
Ren Zhong: "Maybe she fears affecting her own mindset. Her opponents... can't tolerate any sloppiness."
Seeing Sun Miao remain silent for a long time, Tang Shuying nodded before discerningly leaving.
She didn't feel excluded because she understood that under the threat of the Telekinesis Master, the fewer who know the secret, the better.
After Tang Shuying left, Sun Miao asked, "So what do we need to do now? Is there anything that can help her?"
Ren Zhong shook his head, "No. We can only wait and trust her. Of course, we should better manage our own work, not letting her self-sacrifice go in vain."
"Okay."
Ren Zhong: "How is the pharmaceutical factory running now?"
Sun Miao: "The quality of the plant extracts from Nangao Town is very high. Our product, whether in cost or efficacy, has already reached the highest cost-effective level in its class. The Mengdu Group has started asking me for technology sharing, hoping I'd return."
Ren Zhong chuckled, shaking his head, "Quite wishful thinking."
"That's how I replied too."
Ren Zhong: "But just achieving this isn't enough. We must make the Mengdu Group antagonize other companies due to our actions."
Sun Miao: "So…"
"Sun, I have absolute confidence in your abilities. Next, we need to further increase our production capacity, improve product quality, and capture the market of the Mengdu Group across the First Continent."
Sun Miao shook his head, "I don't have technical barriers here. But the problem is the Mengdu Group will no longer sell us equipment."
Ren Zhong shook his head, "I have plans. Source Star Military Industry has ready equipment design diagrams. We'll split the orders, purchase raw materials from Purple Crystal Mining and Bas Group, outsource chips and programs from Deep Communication Group, and complete assembly in our own factory."
Sun Miao: "Great idea. That way, we can position these four companies against Mengdu Group."
Ren Zhong: "But this conflict will temporarily be confined to the First Continent, possibly even within Yangsheng City. We're just a small fuse in the grand scheme. Additionally, Mengdu Group might attempt to eliminate you to solve the problem once and for all."
"No worries, who doesn't live in danger every day? Although it may not lead to death, I will try to leave behind as much as possible. Sun Ai has already systematized the knowledge I taught her. Now, the total population under your control has reached nearly a million. Among them are bound to be smart people capable of learning. As for other established production processes and research ideas, I will also compile them soon."
Sun Miao's tone was somewhat like leaving a legacy, but it was merely precautionary.
Ren Zhong responded, "Rest assured, I'll reinforce defenses as much as possible."
Sun Miao questioned, "The disparity in strength is enormous. If Mengdu Group truly wants to kill me, you can't prevent it. Minimizing losses is the best we can do."
"Who knows."
Ren Zhong shrugged.
That afternoon, Ren Zhong boarded his private airship for a comprehensive inspection of the situation in the various towns under his company.
