Recap
The statue of the Machinery God is full of explosives, and as long as anyone resists, he will completely cut off their connection with God.
The imprisoned president and vice president and the previous batch of high-level personnel have been found out by his subordinates.
Gu Yunzhe looked at everyone present with a cold gaze, and his tone was full of murderous intent: ‘From now on, there will be no Machinery Association in the world. District 10 and the underground belong to me.’
___
Although something went wrong in the middle, so far, everything is under control.
Gu Yunzhe has plenty of ways to deal with it.
He first avenged his subordinates, and then successfully took down District 10 and the dungeon.
The top-level executives in the district have to show their faces, so it is not convenient for him to appear.
But in the underground, he can take the top position openly.
The original Machinery Association was disabled by him, and the remaining more than a thousand members were classified as his subordinates.
From now on, Gu Yunzhe will be the city lord of the underground.
He falsified the memory of the top-level executives of District 10, and now they are his loyal subordinates.
Gu Yunzhe began to secretly annex small and medium organisations to expand his territory.
The organisations around District 10 are being eaten away by him bit by bit.
Gu Yunzhe has always had a thorn in his heart, and now that the situation has stabilised a little, he wants to pull out the thorn.
He hasn’t slept well for a while, he’s tired and feels exhausted every day.
When they first cooperated with Sun Shangang, the former vice president made it clear that they would produce a jammer to completely let the modified humans out of the control of the Human Alliance.
But Gu Yunzhe’s subordinates were still violated.
They have not gained freedom at all, the control has just been transferred from the Human Alliance to the Machinery Association.
Essentially, the situation for defected agents has not changed.
When the Machinery Association violated them, they took some photos and videos.
After reading it, Gu Yunzhe probably understood why his former partner became like this.
In the eyes of those members, modified humans are not really humans.
No matter how they are treated, those members don’t feel guilty at all.
He treats them as friends yet they treat him as a toy.
Gu Yunzhe conducted further investigations on the Machinery Association, and planned on how to deal with them in the future based on the investigation results.
Some time ago, there was a power struggle within this association.
Including the chairman and vice president, all the original top-level officials were imprisoned.
At that time, when he cooperated with the former vice president Sun Shangang, Sun Shangang didn’t have any improper thoughts, he just wanted to deal with the mistakes made by the Machinery Association.
It’s just that before the finished product is created, they lost their freedom.
This time, it was mainly the people under the new president who took actions against the defected agents.
Even though he knew the reason behind it, Gu Yunzhe still did not relax his supervision.
He thought that since the Machinery Association could implant controllers into the top-level executives of District 10, it should be able to take out the controllers in the modified humans’ brains.
Not long after the orders were issued, Sun Shangang, who had worked with him, found him.
He said a lot of technical terms during his discussion with Gu Yunzhe and even though Gu Yunzhe didn’t understand much, he could vaguely understand what he meant.
Both the Machinery Association and the Human Alliance have this technology, and the methods of implanting the controller are different, and the purpose is also different.
When the Human Alliance implanted the controller in the modified humans, they never thought about the day when they would be taken out. As long as it is forcibly taken out, the modified human will die.
The controller and the human have been integrated into one, even if the God of Mechanics descends to earth, he can’t handle it.
After Gu Yunzhe listened, he murmured subconsciously, ‘Why?’
Sun Shangang just looked at him, feeling pity, “It’s useless. City Lord Gu, all we can do is to enhance the effect of the jammer to ensure that you will never be controlled by outsiders again. If you are worried, you can take all the jammers away.”
After he left, Gu Yunzhe fell into deep thought alone in the room.
Human beings need the robot army produced by the Machinery Association to fight against alien forces.
Therefore, killing the Machinery Association is tantamount to killing themselves.
These people should be kept, just get rid of those people who know how to make use of the jammers first, and then the existing products can be kept.
It should be able to last for a while without letting the aliens get in touch.
With all these burdens on his shoulder, Gu Yunzhe felt a little headache.
Looking at his pale face in the mirror, he suddenly realised something.
After a modified person has lost their flesh and blood, it is difficult to be accepted by others.
___
A few days later, Sun Shangang handed in a report.
It is well written and the data is clear. This time, it’s not that they are not thinking properly, it’s that they really can’t do it.
Gu Yunzhe rubbed his forehead in pain.
The pressure has been a bit high recently, and he wants to find some time to rest.
The plan to relax was shelved, when the high priest came over suddenly and asked him out for a talk.
The high priest pondered for a long time, ‘The Machinery Association has really become the lackey of the Human Alliance?’
Gu Yunzhe hummed, but the high priest hesitated to speak.
Gu Yunzhe did not inform the high priest of forging evidence and using the power of the White Doves to deal with the Machinery Association.
They stood on different positions, and there were some things he needed to keep secret.
Even among the defected agents, there were no more than ten insiders.
The high priest didn’t leave immediately, he kept tapping the table with his fingertips, ‘Since the Machinery Association is gone, now…who will manage District 10 and the underground?’
Gu Yunzhe put down the teacup, ‘I will manage it.’
‘Wouldn’t that be a bit inappropriate?’
‘How is it inappropriate?’
The two looked at each other for a while, and the high priest spoke first: “District 10 is the most important mining area. The underground has the best researchers and is the most technologically advanced place in the empire. They are the keys to the victory of humanity in the war against external forces.”
Gu Yunzhe nodded.
The high priest looked at his forehead, ‘We have worked together for so long, you should know what kind of person I am. I didn’t intend to ask for the power of District 10 and the underground. But you have not yet gotten rid of the control of the Human Alliance yet, this is a ticking time bomb for humanity.’
‘If one day you are controlled again and let District 10 and the underground city fall into the hands of aliens, then the human race will be finished. I hope you can hand over the power to other human beings, whether it’s the people in District 10 or the people in the Machinery Association, just consider the overall situation.’
Gu Yunzhe’s usually steady breathing suddenly became erratic.
He smashed the teacup on the table, raised the corners of his lips and sneered, ‘Give it to other humans? I am not a human too?’
The high priest waved his hand, “No, no, I can understand your mood. You are my friend, and I have always regarded you as a human being in my heart. But the lives of millions of survivors in the empire are at stake, and we cannot act emotionally.”
He took out his mobile phone, found a photo, and handed it to Gu Yunzhe.
“Actually, that’s why I came to you today. Someone sold this group of photos on the internal network of District 10. My confidant is working here, so he found it and sent it to me.”
Gu Yunzhe glanced at it.
The two men and two women on the screen are all his agents. They lay on the bed with blank eyes, humiliation written all over their bodies.
‘I checked the time, it happened after you came here. Some members of the Machinery Association violated the agents, so you lied to the White Doves to help you get rid of the Machinery Association. It is your personal grievance. Not that the Machinery Association joined the Human Alliance.’
After knowing that there were videos and photos leaked, Gu Yunzhe sent someone to deal with them, but there were still some that could not be destroyed.
He quickly flipped through the photos, his chest heaving, ‘You say that this is a personal grievance? When you saw the photo, the first thing that came to your mind was to persuade me to give up my power?’
‘Of course not, I also think those people are beasts, scums and trash. You killed so many people from the Machinery Association, and I didn’t say anything.’
Gu Yunzhe turned his head and met the eyes of the high priest.
His former friend said with a complicated expression, ‘But facts are facts, Yun Zhe. In actuality, you can’t get rid of control at all, right?’
Gu Yunzhe put down his phone, ‘So I’m going to hand over my power and my life to other people? You are afraid that human beings will be destroyed because of me, but I am also afraid that one day I will open my eyes and be humiliated at will.’
‘I will protect you, you can come to the White Doves. The Mother of the Empire requires her believers to uphold justice, or she will not bless them. Don’t worry, we will never do anything to you.’
‘Protect? Provide us the same protection as before? Being imprisoned in rooms in groups, unable to go anywhere? You say your people don’t discriminate, called us human beings, yet you don’t treat us as human beings at all, how dare I give our lives to you?’
Gu Yunzhe got up and made a gesture of seeing off the guests: ‘I gave away the power once, and got this result. I will find a way to deal with the matter of the controller. I have learned my lesson once, and I will never give up my power to anyone in the future.’
___
The two quarrelled for a long time, the high priest felt that District 10 and the underground were the lifeblood of human beings, and if they were handed over to him, it would be like putting humanity’s neck on a chopping board.
There is an irresolvable conflict between them.
The conversation broke up unhappily, the high priest smashed the teacup and left angrily.
Looking at the broken teacup on the ground, Gu Yunzhe felt it was difficult to breathe.
He’s also a victim, and they don’t want to be modified either.
In fact, White Doves’s worries was not unfounded, but Gu Yunzhe felt that he had been cornered.
He would rather that his friend was tempted by power and deliberately came to grab District 10, rather than completely denying his existence from an objective point of view.
In the eyes of the high priest, modified humans are an unstable factor. Can only be a low-level member, in a state of semi-management and control.
Or form a small group by yourself and find a place to live outside.
Gu Yunzhe told himself to calm down.
He continued to carry out the annexation plan step by step, but his mental state was getting worse and worse.
He asked a psychiatrist to prescribe a set of drugs for himself and began to take it regularly.
The plan to occupy District 4 has been put on the agenda.
Gu Yunzhe sent out the senior management from District 10 to discuss cooperation with District 4.
The top-level executives brought back the news that district 4 refused to cooperate, and the small gifts they sent.
Two A-level agents with sluggish expressions, with bruises all over their bodies.
This is not gift-giving, this is a provocation.
District 4 already knew that District 10 was controlled by modified humans, someone had leaked the secret.
Gu Yunzhe investigated overnight and found a member of the Machinery Association from the underground.
The reason given by the man was very simple, he couldn’t stand being ruled over by toy people.
After investigating, nothing else came up, Gu Yunzhe killed him. But he always had a vague feeling that there was some conspiracy involving him.
It was his hunch, but he couldn’t find the source.
Gu Yunzhe has to deal with many things without sleep, his headache is getting worse and worse, and the doctor is prescribing more and more medicines.
Knowing that he had a mental problem, he took two days off.
During his vacation, Sun Shangang just found him again, and said worriedly: ‘City Master, does District 4 know about what happened here? If someone leaks the news out. Will something go wrong?’
Gu Yunzhe was also worried about this, and he focused all his energy on this during this time.
Not long after, the high priest came to the door again and asked him if he was going to delegate his power.
The talk went very badly, turning from arguing into a big fight.
The anger that had been accumulated in his heart for a long time broke out completely, Gu Yunzhe held his throbbing head, “As long as I can manage the Machinery Association well, the controller will not be a problem, why can’t you understand?”
The high priest said nothing.
Gu Yunzhe saw the answer in his eyes.
The High Priest, like the rest of the White Doves Church, does not think it is safe to trust a modified human.
Even if there is a jammer, they are not trustworthy. In his final analysis, Gu Yunzhe is still regarded as a different kind of human.
They are a united front against aliens. Now that he is fighting for power with human beings, the balance in the heart of the high priest has begun to shift towards beings who are the “same”.
The anger of being discriminated against, together with fear and anxiety, turned into anger, which instantly ignited Gu Yunzhe.
He couldn’t stand it any longer.
Everyone is questioning him, including the White Doves, the Machinery Association, and even his friends.
Since they knew his situation and knew that he had no way out, why is no one helping him?
Everyone wanted him to think about the future of mankind, ask him to take care of the overall situation, but no one has considered what he felt.
How on earth can they trust him? By digging out his brain?
After the high priest left, Gu Yunzhe forced himself to go to the bathroom to wash his face.
The person in the mirror made him feel strange, Gu Yunzhe saw his usually calm eyes, now filled with hatred and bewilderment.
He couldn’t recognize who was in the mirror, his mind went blank, and the world in front of him seemed to have turned blood red.
In society, small groups are called outliers. It takes a long time and struggle to get them accepted by the masses.
Modified humans are not aliens.
In the eyes of the public, they are slaves, monsters, and cyborgs, but they are not human beings.
They don’t have the time to fight for their rights and identity, and no one gives them a chance to prove themselves.
Gu Yunzhe scratched his arm hard, looking down at the densely packed thin threads inside.
If he can make modified humans a majority…
Won’t they be considered normal then?
___
After Gu Yunzhe said this, he was a little unwilling to continue.
Standing in front of Chu Shici, he looks very tired.
Chu Shici was already dumbfounded, he didn’t expect Zhe-ge to be stabbed in the back by his own people.
Originally, Gu Yunzhe had planned well, so why did the high priest jump out and intervene?
It seems that someone is playing behind the scenes.
Gu Yunzhe’s vitality value is plummeting, the memory of his past pained him.
He lowered his head: “I really put my ideas into reality.”
Chu Shici stared at him blankly, “Are you really planning to turn all the citizens of District 10 into modified humans?”
“Well, not only District 10, but also other districts as well. I have also issued an order with this idea, but it has not been carried out.”
He paused for a while, “The high priest is very disappointed in me.”
Chu Shici understood him very well.
At that time, Gu Yunzhe’s vitality value probably fell below 5 points, the only thing that kept him going was the negative emotions he had.
No one helped him all the time, he developed a mental problem.
To put it bluntly, he was forced to blacken.
As long as someone pulled him out from the depths, he would not have made such a decision.
Chu Shici hugged him in his arms and comforted him softly.
Gu Yunzhe was silent for a long time, “You are also very disappointed in me.”
Chu Shi resigned with itchy teeth, “No. Zhe-ge, I know you can’t hold on anymore. Someone is targeting you, and he provoked the relationship between you and the high priest. Do you remember what happened? Let’s find him to take our revenge!”
Gu Yunzhe buried his face in his arms, looking a little aggrieved.
After a while, his voice became extremely angry, and there was still some sadness in it.
“I remember, it was Sun Shangang and the former president. There was the shadow of the Human Alliance behind them, they made me betray everyone. Ah Ci, I was forced out of District 10.”
