Resurrection Empire-Chapter 1019 - 391: You’d Better Watch Yourself (Part 3)

Hua Yuelan explained the situation clearly, and Ren Zhong listened with quite a bit of helplessness.

He thought for a moment, "Here's the plan. I'll have Ju Qingmeng dispatch more people to the town Tanggu Group transferred to me, bringing back more Ruined Beast resources from out of town."

Hua Yuelan: "That's only a temporary fix, not a solution. The research those people at Dragon Slayer Camp are doing consumes too much."

Ren Zhong: "Let's handle it for as long as we can. I'll think of further solutions next. Anyway, you have to do your best to maintain the stability of 'Dream Network'."

Hua Yuelan: "Okay."

After hanging up the call, Ren Zhong started scratching his head.

Previously, he caused others pain by secretly destroying the 'Network,' and now he didn't expect to become a victim of the same issue.

As for how to develop a supercomputer, he, coming from the 21st century, indeed had a complete set of ideas in his mind.

If given enough time, Ren Zhong believes he should have the opportunity to establish two technological routes for silicon-based and carbon-based chips outside of the Ruins Beast Crystal system.

However, just researching controllable nuclear fusion at Dragon Slayer Camp has been consuming enough resources. Opening a new battlefield now would probably just slow down progress further, outweighing the benefits.

Ren Zhong pondered overnight, various ideas emerged repeatedly in his mind but were rejected, failing to find a solution.

The next morning, it was another learning day. He temporarily set aside his distractions and went to the college again.

At noon, he first sent away his private teacher and then returned to his desk in the small office, continuing to devour books.

Nowadays, he no longer went to the cafeteria, as Zhuo Yihang would appear outside the office door at twelve o'clock sharp, bringing a lavish lunch enough for ten people.

Over the past twenty days, he had completely adapted to Zhuo Yihang's meticulous care.

Zhuo Yihang not only respected time but also took the initiative to adjust menu recipes to suit Ren Zhong's tastes, being an absolutely competent assistant.

Time flew by, and unknowingly Ren Zhong's stomach rumbled with hunger.

He puzzledly raised his hand to look at his wrist watch—it was already one-thirty in the afternoon, and the scheduled teacher was almost there, but Zhuo Yihang hadn't appeared.

"That's strange."

While muttering, Ren Zhong used his wrist watch to dial Zhuo Yihang's communication code.

The call notification tone rang for a minute, but the other side didn't pick up.

Dialing again, he waited for nearly forty seconds before connecting, but it wasn't Zhuo Yihang's voice on the other side; it was an unfamiliar person.

"Respected Seventh Level Citizen Ren Zhong, hello, I am Liu Tao, Director of City Sanitation from Lower Origin Capital City."

Ren Zhong's brow furrowed, a sense of foreboding rising within him.

He asked: "What happened? Where is the owner of the wrist watch, Zhuo Yihang? What happened to him?"

The director on the other side, Liu, felt slightly puzzled, "Mr. Ren, I'm not sure about the specifics. But he was just transported to me by a body removal truck. According to city management regulations, I will perform a brain extraction on him as such a restricted Citizen. Regarding his body, I will sell it at a reasonable price to Mengdu Group."

Ren Zhong sprang up from his seat, "What! What's going on? Dead? How did he die!"

As he questioned, he soon realized it was impossible to get answers from the other side, so he changed his tone: "Director Liu, wait a moment, Zhuo Yihang is my assistant. You shouldn't handle his body first; I will come personally for an autopsy."

Director Liu paused, puzzled, "Mr. Ren, I have his identity tag. He is just a permanent contract employee of Census Official College, not directly associated with you personally. Your request is unreasonable."

Ren Zhong, angry: "I don't care! I must see the body, I must know what happened! Otherwise, regardless of what role you, Director Liu, play, I will make you pay dearly! Mind yourself; I am warning you only once."

Hearing Ren Zhong almost furious on the other end, Liu Tao swallowed silently, deciding not to provoke him, simply saying: "Alright. I'll wait for you for twenty minutes, no longer."

Ren Zhong gritted his teeth, "Whether you wait or not is not up to you." After speaking, Ren Zhong quickly dashed out of the small office, ignoring the fact that it was the third floor, leaping into the air and landing boldly. He rolled twice on the ground to dissipate the force, then ran at high speed towards the Flying Device station opposite the teaching building.

At this moment, he couldn't quite express how much anger he truly felt.

Instead, he was very calm. He knew he didn't actually need to examine the body to find out the cause of Zhuo Yihang's death. He already had some vague guesses in his mind, but he just wanted to see the body to confirm what strategy he should employ next, what actions he needed to take.
