Ren Zhong slowly opened his eyes.
At this moment, he was sitting in the top-floor office of the airship structure at Chromium Carbon Resources, seated in front of a computer.
On the holographic display was his half-written "New Starfire Town Development Plan."
After resurrection, the first sound he heard was the shrill wailing from downstairs.
Yang Bingzhong was being subjected to a Seventh Level execution.
Mr. Yang was not yet dead, but he was in the process of dying.
This wailing was truly eerie, enough to make listeners’ hearts ache and bring tears to their eyes.
Ren Zhong swore he wasn’t deliberately indulging in some macabre pleasure; it was purely an untimely coincidence.
Ren Zhong stood up from his chair and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the small square below.
On the platform, Yang Bingzhong, with a collar around his neck, writhed and roared like a worm.
Ren Zhong watched for only five seconds before he sat back on the sofa.
He first closed the "Plan" and then closed his eyes to ponder.
He needed to reevaluate.
Four days ago, Bai Feng had already become a volunteer for the Mengdu Group.
Sun Miao was likely already in contact; tomorrow Sun Miao would notify him of a successful liaison.
He would discuss with him about an "alternate universe"; from there, the timeline would proceed like a train on tracks without brakes, irreversibly advancing towards the goal until the entire domino effect collapsed and the whole situation imploded.
This was the crucial point of the timeline that had to be tackled, the part that had to be changed.
Ren Zhong needed to carefully consider the adjustment direction and complete fine-tuning.
He wanted to preserve Sun Miao’s "epiphany" without failing.
Children make choices; adults want everything.
This was undoubtedly difficult.
But Ren Zhong believed there was still room for maneuver. He just needed to meticulously analyze and slowly find the breakthrough to the problem, to capture Sun Miao’s character flaw, to persuade him.
Someone once said, "As long as the spirit doesn’t deteriorate, solutions are always more abundant than problems," and while Ren Zhong disregarded the historical context of this saying, it aptly described his current state.
After a long time, Ren Zhong let out a long sigh.
Using Sun Miao’s personal traits as a starting point, he indeed came up with a plan.
However, this plan might not be what Sun Miao or he himself wished to see.
To untie the bell, the bell must be tied; the new plan had to revolve around Sun Miao.
Brother Sun was certainly more than just a mediocre figure; he could do what others could not.
Otherwise, Mengdu Group wouldn’t have forcibly recalled him after many years and immediately appointed him as the group leader of the "Tree" project team responsible for developing human brain implantation technology.
Sun Miao had been in the Mengdu Group for so long, and even if his main focus was on private work, his primary job should not have been done poorly.
Otherwise, given the intense competition in the research departments of the nine major enterprises, Sun Miao would have been sidelined long ago.
The Mengdu Group understood Sun Miao. Thɪs chapter is updated by NovєlFіre.net
Ren Zhong might understand Sun Miao even better.
Sun Ge must have valuable insights but wasn’t eager to hand them all over to the Mengdu Group. Instead, he released them bit by bit, enticing the Mengdu Group like a carrot dangling in front of a donkey, enabling him to quietly work on private projects using their resources.
At the same time, Sun Miao would never hand over the most crucial pieces all at once.
The reason is simple: With Sun Miao’s disposition, he must be extremely averse to the human brain implantation plan.
Even if it meant dying, he would never willingly support evil.
But Ren Zhong wanted Sun Miao to go against his conscience and obediently hand over the information so he could leave the Mengdu Group with a temporary freedom.
Then, as long as Sun Miao could safely get away, the time bomb tied to Ren Zhong himself would quietly be disarmed.
About an hour later, as the clock ticked toward eleven thirty at night, Yang Bingzhong’s screams abruptly ceased, and the dust settled.
Ren Zhong promptly contacted Ma Dafu and sent him the newly refined "Plan."
After deeply probing the Tanggu Group last time, Ren Zhong took the development of Scavengers a step further.
He prepared to provide professional employee treatment to all the Scavengers in Starfire Town.
No basic salary, but there were tiered munitions subsidies and incentive awards.
The incentive award determination rules had two sets, graded based on the average daily output value from Ruined Beasts per person.
For instance, a First Level Professional earning an average of 1 to 10 points daily had one level of reward, while earning 10 to 20 points had another.
Continuing this way, it gradually escalated.
The ratio for Second Level Professionals increased tenfold on this basis, and other levels followed suit.
The Scavengers receiving the best treatment could even get a 20% discount on munitions subsidies, as well as four hours of free training daily in the intermediate zone of the new training ground.
