Resurrection Empire-Chapter 920 - 353: Fighting for Oneself

Throughout the entire day, there was a group of people in Chromium Carbon Town who were suffering tremendously.

They had many opportunities to secretly approach Ren Zhong and launch an attack, but ultimately couldn't make up their minds.

They saw the post-war Chromium Carbon Town and witnessed how Ren Zhong treated these bottom-tier laborers.

They felt the difference between Ren Zhong and other Citizens.

Whether it was feigned or genuine, Ren Zhong indeed provided the displaced true respect, as well as substantial benefits and concessions.

Ren Zhong is changing the social atmosphere on Source Star that has lasted for thousands of years.

If they could become his subordinates, even just living here, they would feel more secure and stable than in other towns, without worrying about being targeted by some Citizen and forced to become cannon fodder one day.

These people also remembered their families far away in other towns and the threats they faced when forced to become Death Soldiers.

Both drove displaced people to fight, both profited Citizens, and even Ren Zhong had a higher Citizen Level and greater wealth at his disposal, but his behavior was markedly different from the corporate owners behind the Death Soldiers.

Ren Zhong never made others charge ahead while he simply reaped the benefits.

Whether it was the victory escape after negotiations broke down in Zhan Sha County or heading back to defend the city wall alone before fully recovering, he was either fighting, recovering from a coma, or rushing to the battlefield.

Moreover, it was clear from Ren Zhong's words and actions that he truly regarded displaced people as peers.

While inspecting the post-war reconstruction site, he would rush over with red eyes and lift the materials off an injured person's shoulders, immediately calling medical personnel to take the person to the town hospital.

Seeing a couple silently weeping over their child who was blown in half, he would walk over, comfort them while rubbing his eyes, and personally help bury the corpse with a shovel.

All of these actions were done by Ren Zhong right under the Death Soldiers' noses.

In contrast, the corporate owners who coerced them into risking their lives.

At this moment, these billionaires were comfortably nestled in hotel suites in Zhan Sha County, leisurely indulging with unknown wives and daughters, drinking and partying to lift their spirits, casually ordering the Law Enforcement Team at the front lines to slaughter displaced people.

The difference was heaven and earth.

Death Soldiers remembered the brainwashing they received from the corporate owner's agent before departure.

The agent said Ren Zhong was extremely hypocritical, always using small favors and showmanship to deceive displaced people into risking their lives for him.

The agent also said, "If it weren't for his deep understanding of human nature and finding a strong backing in the Association's upper echelons, how could he have climbed from a bottom-tier displaced person to his current stature in less than a year? He does evil under the guise of virtuous demeanor, engaging in the most vicious exploitation and plunder. I can bet that those who truly pledge allegiance to him will regret their decision in a few years."

At the time, the Death Soldiers believed it, hoping that whether alive or dead, completing the mission would give their families a new life.

But after observing all day, they began to doubt.

Some even said, "Even if Ren Zhong is acting, if our boss could act like this, wouldn't that be great?"

"Should we really kill him?"

"Can we do it?"

"Or even if we get lucky and succeed in killing him, with how he treats the displaced people under his command, wouldn't they go insane seeking revenge?"

"His army indeed is unstoppable. Does the so-called Seven Towns Alliance have any chance?"

Someone suddenly spoke, "I think we should secretly contact Ren Zhong's subordinates and pledge allegiance in the shadows. You see, the remote-controlled bombs on the prisoners have been removed; ours can be too."

"But our family and friends..."

"You wouldn't really think that sacrificing your life for those scoundrels would ensure your family's safety, right? Your family survives because you have value. If you die, do you think those scoundrel bosses would keep supporting your whole family? I dare say, if I die here today, my family will be sold to Mengdu Group as experimental subjects tomorrow."

"That makes sense."

At eleven o'clock at night, just as Ren Zhong had finished discussing the various matters for tomorrow's departure with Zheng Tian, preparing to sleep, Yujin, who had taken over Ou Youning's position as head of the special agent organization, knocked on the door and said gravely, "Mr. Ren, there is an important situation to report to you."
