Chapter 77 Gathering

Zhao Yi took off from the base in a small transport ship. About three hours later, he had flew over a quarter of the planet's surface and landed smoothly on a hot gravel. {《》.}.

"Che————”

The hatch opened after decompression released a large amount of white mist. Walking down the gangway step by step, the moment the soft rubber soles contacted the hard ground. The first thing that came into sight was a group of ragged clothes, pale and thin people.

There was no expression on their faces. In their empty and wooden eyes, the most basic information of human life had almost been lost. The strong wind swept through the sand and gravel and hit their exposed bodies hard, without any touch. The surfaces of the calloused hands and feet, which should have been soft, had completely turned into black and hard like rocks.

This is a group of civilians. A group of industrial civilians who can only survive by collecting resources for cheap sale in exchange for the most basic living supplies.

Taking off the sunglasses on his nose, Zhao Tian raised his hands and walked back and forth several times in a gaze full of fear and desire. After a long time, he waved to the external shelf on the side of the transport ship in the distance. Suddenly, thousands of civilians with light in their eyes rushed over like a flood that was leaking from the gate.

There, there were neatly placed more than a thousand nutritious fast foods that had just been lifted from the ship by a robot.

Twenty-four hours ago, Zhao Yi posted a message on the ag64 planet area network————Food food.

As a garrison official appointed by the military, he has the power to issue any orders in the garrison area. Of course, this message is not for all civilians on the ag64 planet. It is only a small part of it after selection. The network coverage rate is only about 5,000 people.

There are industrial civilians on any planet. Even in a high-risk area where pirates are rampant, they can still be seen in miserable figures. However, civilians in any area will not be threatened by gangs and robbers. Even if they pass by, no one will take a look at them.

Civilians are so poor.

What can they have to be so poor that they can’t afford to wear clothes and can’t even have enough food to eat?

In an instant, the food piled under the transport ship was distributed. With the support of electronic alerts and armed personnel, every civilian received the lunch box they deserved. Although there was occasional noise, it did not cause chaos. Although this fast food was not full, there was obviously a little unconcealed gratitude when the civilians looked at Zhao Yi.

For them, getting an extra portion of food out of thin air is indeed the most celebratory thing.

Looking at the yellow-skinned crowd, Zhao Yi pursed his lips tightly without saying a word. With a expressionless face, he waved his hand gently, allowing the civilians who were waiting to walk into the cabin from the gangway where the transport ship slowly fell.

He is not a philanthropist, nor a good citizen with a flood of love. He is not the kind of slutty prodigal son who has too much money and has no place to spend it and only likes to throw it around casually.

When eating my meal, you have to listen to me and help me with your work.

The information posted on the Internet is very clear: recruiting a group of civilian volunteers. Treatment, three meals a day, and fullness.

This is simply a pie falling from the sky. There is no better way than this.

Of course, it's just for civilians.

Zhao Yi did not explain what volunteers needed to do. He just drove the transport ship to gather the recruited people from all over the planet, and finally gathered to the deepest part of the colonial base, which was like a bell of a giant beast.

Five thousand civilians stayed in a base with sufficient living facilities for a whole week.

Breakfast, cereal with milk, plus fresh baked bread.

Lunch, beef sauce with vegetables, staple rice.

Dinner, chicken, green bean stewed rice, pig (beef) bone soup.

Although all foods are industrial products synthesized by gelatin, for ordinary people who have been unaware of food and clothing for many years, they are already like rare dishes that only exist in legends.

In the first few days, the civilians ate very fragrant and sweetly, and even felt like they were immersed in dreams.

Three days later, they began to feel a little uneasy. Because since they arrived at this strange base, they have never done any work. Even Zhao Yi, who recruited them, has never appeared.

A week later, the civilians' psychology was almost at the verge of collapse. They began to refuse to eat. Some timid people began to cry and strongly demanded to return to their former residence.

This is a normal reaction for people. Especially for civilians who have not had a living security for a long time. Death is not terrible to them. What is terrible is that after savoring the feeling of warmth and fullness, let them die.

This is exactly what Zhao Yi needs.

Standing on the huge platform, looking at the dense crowds on the stage. Zhao Yi sneered and shouted in the maximum voice: "Why, are you already scared?"

No one answered. The entire base square was silent. There were only pairs of eyes full of fear and trembling, staring at his figure tremblingly.

"You guys want to go back? No problem, I will never stop anyone."

Suddenly, the words said from Zhao Yi made everyone feel relaxed. However, the mood of the civilians instantly fell to the bottom.

"Do you still want to go back to live a life of not knowing how to spend money? Do you still want to go back to continue the work of ant? Do you still want to go back to live by selling the resources of microwaves. After eating the whole meal, you don't have the next meal, and you are always worried about tomorrow?"

Several civilians swallowed their throats dryly, and their eyes showed serious thoughts.

Zhao Yi is right.

Those who are full will never want to try hungry again. Those who have enough food and clothing will not be foolish and voluntarily run out to beg for voluntarily. Those who are arrogant would rather die than give up everything they have. Those who are used to eating wine and meat will also feel that coarse grains, rice bran is as difficult as poison.

This week at the base is as happy as entering heaven for the civilians. Although there is a kind of uncertain fear, if you really want them to return to their past lives, anyone will feel an unconscious disgust in their hearts.

"Sir, what do you need to do to recruit us?"

A civilian thought for a long time, gritted his teeth and walked up, tremblingly speaking out the questions that everyone wanted to know.

"I need soldiers, soldiers. I need you to be my subordinates."

Zhao Yi slowed down and smiled gently, "If you act according to my will, you will completely get rid of everything in the past. I cannot guarantee that you will all be transferred to citizenship. However, I can guarantee that all of you will receive the best treatment."

soldier?

Soldier?

These seemingly simple words immediately caused a huge resounding response among the crowd.

What are the most feared by civilians?

Hunger and the army.

Be able to get food and clothing and control your own destiny. What else is more valuable than this?

The fear on people's faces has gradually disappeared, and replaced by unprecedented excitement and longing. At the same time, it is accompanied by a little hidden doubt.

"No doubt. What I said is true."

Zhao Yi began to let go of his mind energy, expand his consciousness space to the limit, and enveloped all listeners: "I am the supreme commander of the AG64 planetary garrison. I have the power to change your destiny. From now on, you will no longer be an industrial civilian, but an armed person under the jurisdiction of the military. If you want, you will receive unprecedented generous rewards. At the same time, you will always be one of the free people."

"I'm willing-----"

"Did it----"

"Take it aside———"

The excited people did not notice that invisible conscious energy was wandering back and forth around them. In places where they could not see the naked eye, the special instruments installed on the surrounding walls were releasing energy waves with strong induction properties. These specific guiding energy subtly change their thinking. The resisting and disgusting parts were slowly eliminated. The parts with trust, decisive and worshipful colors were slowly filled.

Inspiring language, actual encounters, brainwashing devices, and guiding consciousness energy. Zhao Tian finally gained the recognition of more than 5,000 civilians.

No, it is not identification. It is loyalty.

......

The planet's surface environment simulated by artificial ecological devices has gradually become overflowing from summer to early autumn. Due to the planet's position and energy factors, even in winter, the minimum temperature of planet AG64 remains at around 15 degrees Celsius. According to the temperature of the earth, this should belong to a tropical planet.

In the city of Novo Minsk, another three-story building has been built next to the mining company building with the huge "black ant" logo. Looking down from the air, this new building, which is dark gray and integrated with the surrounding environment, is a solid equilateral triangle. Heavy weapons are also erected on the exit and roof. The walls on the front of the building are inlaid with metal nameplates of "ag64 Planetary Guard Command".

Just around these two buildings, dozens of automatic warning towers hundreds of meters high stand, with hundreds of round all-round rotating cannon seats. Under the continuous operation of a large number of robots day and night, a new building belt covering an area of ​​more than ten square kilometers has appeared with the Guarding Command as the core. The planned white houses are neatly arranged along the streets, leaving blank plots reserved for future development, and various plants being cultivated... They are mixed with each other, in sharp contrast with the chaotic and dirty neighborhoods.

In the large conference room on the second floor of the Guard Command, "Harm" Jack and Luo Jingpeng stood on both sides of the huge desk, staring at the simulated holographic images on the electronic graphics board with extremely shocked eyes.

"This will be a brand new tourist city - the planet ag64 has the most complex and spectacular wind-eroded terrain. Deserts, Gobi, and the desolate Grand Canyon... For citizens who have lived on immigrant planets for a long time, these strange natural landscapes can meet their strong curiosity needs. When the accompanying hotels and roads are completed, we can try to accept the first batch of tourists. They will soon find that there are the world's largest casino, the most beautiful, the most numerous women, the strongest wine, and the most interesting nightlife. Of course, these things will also empty the last bill in their pockets at the fastest speed."

Zhao Yi stood in front of the desk, and the light screen placed horizontally on the desktop was constantly flashing with dense data. His hands swept across the virtual keyboard from time to time, and manually added key data. He stood straight, and his sharp eyes swept across the surface of virtual scenes. His whole person exuded an unprecedented sharp aura. His words were filled with unprecedented enthusiasm, and even crazy. This strong fanatic atmosphere quickly infected the other two listeners--"Iron Hammer" Jack's eyes widened, releasing excited and eager eyes. Luo Jingpeng clenched his fists, kept gritting his teeth, and opened his breathing hard, and his whole face was full of bright red highlighted by the stimulation of blood.

There is no reason not to be excited———Zhao Yi promised that as the former core personnel of the disbanded "Iron Hand Gang", "Iron Hammer" Jack and Luo Jingpeng will obtain 0.5% and 0.1% of the shares of the future new city respectively. These two figures seem very small, but if they are enlarged to the basis of the population of hundreds of thousands, the returns will also be amplified.

If it were a few months ago, Jack "Harm" would not have accepted the shares assigned by Zhao Yi. He would even think that this was a joke. However, the facts were persuasive that no one could reverse the situation——— He watched with his own eyes, thousands of armed civilians entered the city from scratch, unloaded from one cosmic cargo ship after another, and various materials that were unimaginable... These changes made him feel fear and shocked. He didn't know what language should be used to describe his inner feelings. But he understood that the city of New Minsk had changed, and this change might spread to the entire ag64 planet.

There are only two ways to put "Harve" Jack - participate or refuse.

He chose the former without any hesitation. This young man named Zhao Yi has shown great strength beyond imagination. "Harm" Jack carefully verified the garrison official certificate document, and this thing is definitely true and cannot be fake.

While explaining, Zhao Yi carefully observed the emotional changes on the bystander's face.

He must have enough men.

Brainwashing can certainly maintain absolute loyalty for a certain period of time, but if you want to get more support from people, you must form a large enough circle of interests.

"Harm" Jack and Luo Jingpeng are both industrial civilians. In Neominsk, among those abandoned by the civilized world, they have the prestige that Zhao Yi is an outsider that is incomparable to. Of course, as the environment continues to change, industrial civilians' support for Zhao Yi will continue to increase. But for now, in ag64, Zhao Yi still needs several spokespersons.

"We must completely control the entire city in the shortest time"

Zhao Yi's face was extremely solemn. He stood on the table with his hands apart, holding up his burly and broad shoulders, and his voice was calm and powerful: "From tomorrow, you will each lead a squadron to clear the entire New Minsk West District. All the rebels who disobey orders will be killed. Tell those who are still wandering and waiting to see————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Speaking of this, Zhao Yi paused for a moment and continued slowly and calmly: "Don't forget, I am the garrison officer on this planet. I have the right to recruit troops and also to order these people to do anything."

"Harves" Jack and Luo Jingpeng looked at each other, and from each other's eyes, they all looked at extremely shocked and enthusiastic gazes. An extremely crazy worship was beating violently in their hearts. Without hesitation, he nodded heavily.

At this moment, they seemed to have seen the blood flowing into a river of Neominsk, and the entire city was dyed bright red. Then, a golden city shrouded in countless banknotes was rising from the depths of the gradually drying blood.

......

The large-scale clearance has finally begun.

Of course, as Zhao Yi said, the current scope is limited to the West District.

A heavy bulldozer with a suspended hopper at the rear of the car was slowly driven out from the front of the garrison commander. Along the electronic map, slowly moving forward towards the southwest direction guided by a green cursor on the electronic map. The huge bucket stretched flat, like a terrifying steel monster, spreading its huge mouth full of fangs, and fiercely devouring everything that dared to block its own path.

Most of the houses in Novo Minsk are made of sand bricks and dry clay. This kind of simple structure has almost no strength. Occasionally, some old steel bars filled in it cannot withstand the mechanical force of heavy bulldozers. As for the sheds pieced together with various debris, they are as fragile as building blocks in front of metal crushing. With the roar of the engine, the bulldozers crush a clear road like a decisive road on the established route that was originally blocked by walls and houses. About half an hour later, the road surface has extended from the construction area of ​​the Guard Command to the central western part. At most no more than an hour, this "line" with steel track grooves will run through the entire western part of the city and lead to the suburbs.

Armed civilians wearing gray-yellow desert camouflage, divided into teams of five people into groups, and began to be alert in every corner of the city. According to the regulations of the garrison officers, they had renamed the "Iron Guards". Although there were only two thousand people on paper, their actual number had already exceeded 10,000. And the scale was still increasing and expanding.

The civilians have been driven out of their own houses. At the cost of an average of five kilograms of gum bread per person, Zhao Yi obtained the first batch of about 30,000 people under his rule. Among them, more than 2,000 selected young and strong people were injected into the Iron Guards for training. The remaining elderly, women, and children were also placed according to Zhao Yi's request.

This is just the population within the "Harm" Jack's sphere of influence. The number of industrial civilians living in other parts of the West Side is at least over 100,000.
