Resurrection Empire-Chapter 943 - 364: War Machine, Mass Production, Carding-Bug Type Insider Detection Method_2

But now, although the loss of AI assistance from the "network" has led to a rapid decline in social production efficiency in the short term, it has also provided more job opportunities for the Scavengers.

After taking up these positions, the Scavengers suddenly discovered that their brains could be used not only to forcibly study the knowledge within the Professional System or memorize the rigid operational guidelines of the scientific system, but also to create some practical small inventions.

Under the Group's internal incentive system, the first person to proactively use their mind to improve production line efficiency and rectify errors was rewarded, and soon others followed suit.

The creativity that belonged to the humanity of Source Star, and had been dormant for a long time, burst forth again.

Ren Zhong once thought that what shackled the minds of the people of Source Star was the regular icosahedron in the Electron Cloud, but now it seems he was not entirely correct.

The systematic brain quantum entanglement storm indeed led to less randomness in the thinking of the people of Source Star compared to him, but they still possess a certain level of creativity.

What truly shackled the mind was also the system maintained by the "network" in the past.

Now Ren Zhong has changed his understanding, and this is precisely what prompted him to impatiently unveil his card.

As the strength accumulated within the Group became more formidable, Ren Zhong saw the urgency of expansion.

Of course, before this, he still had to root out the traitor.

Time passed unknowingly for more than ten days. During these days, he spent ten hours each day giving lectures to different groups of subordinates.

If you walk by the river often, you'll eventually get your feet wet.

That day, which happened to mark exactly a year since Ren Zhong awakened from the dense forest—his "birthday"—he finally brought about his own demise. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

The one who killed him was a Level Nine Armored Soldier.

At that time, Ren Zhong was taking a short break in his office, preparing to start the next round of lectures for more middle-level managers. Suddenly, he heard a violent explosion outside.

Five seconds later, just as Ren Zhong had donned his armor, the alloy wall of the office was blasted open from the outside.

A gigantic hole, seven meters in diameter, appeared in the wall.

The terrifying blast impact swept past Ren Zhong's side, blew open the alloy door behind him, and caused the entire internal structure of the office to expand into a bulging bun shape.

The shock wave continued inward, and Ren Zhong's armor audio system already picked up the piercing screams of numerous employees within the office building.

Yet, Ren Zhong did not look back. He only looked forward and saw a thirty-meter-wide longitudinal strip of flame extending from outside the town to beneath his office building.

On both sides of the burning strip, intense flames burst from many automated defense facilities, with numerous people nearby fleeing in all directions, engulfed in flames.

Many others stood in place, weapons aimed skyward, but their bodies had already been charred.

It was evident that the unidentified attacker forcefully used overwhelming strength to charge in directly from outside the town in a short amount of time.

In the next second, a three-meter giant, engulfed in flames, appeared at the entrance of the hole.

This person's body seemed to be composed of lava. Droplets of lava fell onto the alloy wall, making a sizzling sound, and burned through creating a hole.

Without any words exchanged, Ren Zhong immediately engaged in combat with this individual.

With his superior strength and the performance of the Red Blade Armor, Ren Zhong managed to hold on for about three minutes before swiftly being defeated.

If he hadn't timely activated the self-destruct module in his wrist watch, he was almost captured alive.

...

Time rewound, and Ren Zhong, with his extremely high Brain Reaction Index, returned to thirty days earlier.

At this moment, he stood in front of a massive Seventh-Level Ruined Beast, resembling a small mountain, with dozens of panicked Scavengers stumbling behind him.

In an extraordinarily short period, Ren Zhong adjusted back to his state, leaped into the air with a feather-light movement, smoothly maneuvered several direction changes midair to avoid ice shard-like substances sprayed from the Ruined Beast's mouth, landed at the back of its head, and altered the armor configuration.

Numerous parts detached from the surface of his armor and assembled in front of him into a cylinder gun approximately half a meter in diameter and four meters long.

The cylinder gun unleashed a high-energy-level azure plasma flow, striking precisely at a black spot about ten meters below the Ruined Beast's nape.

The fierce Ruined Beast let out a brief roar and then collapsed with a crash, dying instantly.

The last time Ren Zhong fought against this unknown Ruined Beast, the battle lasted a full ten minutes.

He took quite some time to probe and find its weak point.

But this time, armed with previous experience and a slightly improved Brain Reaction Index, it was much easier to handle.
