Gunfire, Punk & Necromancers

Chapter 664 Chapter 660 Impeccable
Having a second chance is a blessing, and so is having hope in life. Zhuang Xuteng wanted to go back right now, looking for the whereabouts of Morgana, Zhuang Feifei and the others, while taking revenge on the company. But he knew he had to restrain his emotional impulse and first plan his action plan after getting out. The company just didn't know he was alive, not that he was dead.

"Master Lich, how long has it been since I was beaten to death by Anzu?"

"It's hard to say. During the resurrection process, I had no consciousness, just like you. This is your first resurrection, and the same is true for me. Generally speaking, it takes from one or two days to one or two months for a lich to be resurrected through a phylactery, but reconstructing your body is definitely more complicated. It will take at least a few weeks, maybe a year or two."

"One or two years?" Zhuang Xuteng held his head in his hands and said, "They can't be that unlucky, right? If they are still alive..."

"They will certainly mourn you, but it's best to forget you quickly. If any of them want to avenge you, they won't survive the next one or two years." The Lich Master shook his head and advised: "If you can't resolve the threat to the company, your reunion with them will only create another death separation, which will double their pain."

Zhuang Xuteng thought about it carefully, suppressed his emotions painfully, and forced himself to calm down completely. "You are right. We must get rid of the company first. My resurrection is just beyond my expectations, but it is not unimaginable for the company. That Anzu was melted by my disintegration effect, but he was able to be resurrected. I believe he will be on guard against this move of mine."

Knowing that there is a shadow servant ability that can resurrect people, it is natural to prevent others from using this ability. This principle is not difficult to understand. Zhuang Xuteng pondered carefully for a while, and suddenly had more confidence that Morgana could survive: in order to prevent resurrection, in order to prevent Zhuang Xuteng from falling into the trap again after possible resurrection, it is necessary to keep the hostage - Zhuang Xuteng thought that if he were in Anzu's position, he would do this.

"Killing the company so that it can never threaten me again is the only thing that really makes sense right now." Zhuang Xuteng said to the Lich Master, "There are many reasons why I failed before, and lack of preparation is the biggest one. Before the actual conflict with the company, I first exposed my position, and then was affected by a variety of shadow spells, weakening everything from intelligence to emotional control, and finally perished due to reckless actions. Lich Master, is there any good solution?"

"One by one: How do they track you?"

"Shadow slave device or implant. Anzu said that all the equipment I use is produced by the company. Well, it is not now. As long as I avoid using the shadow slave device, and then change my gait with makeup, I won't be afraid of them tracking me. This problem is gone. Then how to deal with emotional and intellectual suppression?"

The Lich Master shook his head and said, "This is difficult. I have hundreds of ways to create this kind of effect. You can only defend against it in a targeted manner. There is no universal method. You can't spend decades learning every one of them, so you'd better hide well!"

"Okay, then we'll focus on disguise and stealth sabotage." Zhuang Xuteng said, "First, we'll take down the Hundred Hands Intelligence Center, and then use the disintegration effect to destroy their network infrastructure, factories, warehouses, and office buildings one by one. I should act like a ghost and take away their power..."

"How long do you plan to take to complete this series of actions?" The Lich Master interrupted Zhuang Xuteng and asked.

"I don't know. Maybe one or two years, maybe ten years. As long as the company is still alive, I will keep working on it."

"Then you won't succeed." The Lich Master shook his head and explained, "You have a little advantage now. If the company doesn't make progress and can't learn from the failures you caused in the early stages and find solutions, then your plan is indeed feasible. Hey, let me ask you, there have been many corporate wars in your world. Have you ever started a war with a surprise attack?"

Zhuang Xuteng frowned, then sighed and said, "My school doesn't teach this kind of knowledge. The detailed process of corporate wars is a secret, and it must have been deliberately hidden by the companies. I only know when each one started and ended, and which evil companies were eliminated by the so-called justice in the previous wars."

"Okay, the war technology is confidential, which means the company takes it very seriously, right?" Seeing Zhuang Xuteng nod, the Lich Master continued, "Since it is taken seriously, the company will definitely do a lot of research, just like they do with other technologies that are important. In your world, there are the words sneak attack and surprise attack, so someone has done it, including in company-to-company wars. Let me ask you, can a company win by launching a surprise attack or sneak attack on another company with its power?"

Zhuang Xuteng understood what the Lich Master meant. If a company-to-company sneak attack could not guarantee victory, then it was too naive for him to think that a surprise attack on the Hundred Hands Intelligence Center would ensure victory.

He stood up and began to pace in the stone pillar hall, thinking about his tactics and strategies.

"I'll give you my body back." Seeing that Zhuang Xuteng had escaped the trap of impulsiveness and recklessness, the Lich Master let him think quietly by himself. "When you have thought it through, come and talk to me."

"No matter what, we have to say goodbye properly. We were too hasty last time." Zhuang Xuteng closed his eyes and ended his meditation. With a deep breath, Zhuang Xuteng regained control of his body. Next, he would try to control victory.

Victory is easier said than done. He had previously laughed at the Gardeners, saying that they only knew how to cause explosions and that it was impossible for them to shake the company's production and operations, let alone overthrow the company's rule. But now that he had calmed down and thought about it, what he wanted to do was nothing more than a larger-scale explosion.

If he exerted his full strength, Zhuang Xuteng could indeed kill hundreds of people at the same time. Repeating this several times, or taking advantage of an opportunity to continuously inflict additional damage, as long as he did not encounter top enhanced people like Anzu or Badenburg, a Hundred Hands Intelligence Center would certainly be no problem. However, Zhuang Xuteng was afraid that his methods would be exposed and the company would learn, crack, and deal with them. From then on, the effects of similar attacks would gradually become worse, until the company discovered his whereabouts and started to hunt him down again, repeating what happened in the previous stage.

"Anzu wouldn't feel good after being beaten like that by me, but his transformation rate is over 100%. As long as there are spare parts, his combat effectiveness will definitely be restored after replacing them." Zhuang Xuteng clenched his fists and frowned, "I'm in a bit of trouble... It's okay without the Eye of Kaho, but it's too awkward without the alloy skeleton. Without the support of the alloy bones, the effect of the bone shield is only 10%. Not to mention Anzu, even if Badenburg comes here and uses his perfect martial arts to cut me into pieces." Zhuang Xuteng searched around in the Mage Tower and found a collection of several swords, weapons and staffs. He asked the Lich Master if these could be used as materials for bone forging. The Lich Master was willing to give them to Zhuang Xuteng, but also told him that the effect would not be good and would definitely not be as good as the materials Zhuang Xuteng had found before.

"It's better not to use it." The Lich Master shook his head and said, "Your problem cannot be solved by fighting. Think about it carefully!"

The Lich Master started to act like this again. It seemed that he knew what to do, but he would not tell him when asked, and just let Zhuang Xuteng figure it out on his own. Zhuang Xuteng had no choice but to figure it out on his own... He began to lead a fairly regular life, eating nutritious porridge for three meals a day, thinking about how to deal with the company every day, and exercising whenever he got angry, exhausting his muscle strength, and by the way, strengthening his mana and improving his spell skills.

He was sure that magic could not solve the problem, because the Lich Master would not hold back if he could destroy the company. Zhuang Xuteng felt that the solution was in the pillar that Boss Qian left for him, because Boss Qian obviously hated the company when he left, and he had a motive.

What did he say at that time? Zhuang Xuteng's memory is not as good as before. He vaguely remembers that Boss Qian's White Flag Grocery Store was excluded by the company and could not continue to operate in this world. Zhuang Xuteng was not sure if his understanding was correct. It should be more like once the company discovered the White Flag Grocery Store, it might force a sale and gain power from other worlds through the White Flag Grocery Store, thus becoming more evil and powerful. Boss Qian did not want to see that happen, so he kept doing business in the black market and stayed away from the power of the company. When the last "free trade paradise" was facing disappearance, he had no choice but to withdraw from this world.

Zhuang Xuteng carefully read the article on the pillar from the perspective of "overthrowing the company's rule", and it really gave him a different taste. How to analyze the situation, how to organize the struggle, how to strategically reverse the unfavorable situation... Zhuang Xuteng read it carefully and carefully as if he had found a treasure. He put himself in the perspective of the article and tried to understand the environment and difficulties the author had to face. After a few months, he gradually understood it, but he realized a problem more clearly: the opportunity no longer existed.

The company has used safety blue, dream fog machines, cheap food and clothing, and social public work points to tame the vast majority of the world's people, and used the education screening mechanism to pick out the top ones in the crowd in advance and take them into its own hands.

People have become numb, not only in spirit and thought, but also in physical function. Safe Blue and Dream Mist Experience Machines have brought them convenient, cheap pleasure and enjoyment, depriving them of the ability to feel pain, and thus making them lose their vigilance and fear of long-term threats. Everyone is well fed, warmly dressed, and having fun, so why risk their lives to overturn all this?

If people are treated like cattle and horses and constantly exploited, there will be resistance; if people are treated like pets and kept well, how can there be resistance? Taking a step back, even if someone is willing to work with Zhuang Xuteng, even at the cost of his life, just to overthrow the company's rule, then in terms of organizational ability and resource allocation ability - there is no need to even compare the accumulation of resources - which one can compare with the company?

The resistance organization can be small, but it cannot be looser and less efficient than the organization it wants to overthrow, right?

Zhuang Xuteng had a headache, a complete headache. The more he understood the theory, the more he could not understand how to overthrow the company... The company had obviously completed the layout, controlled the people who were producers, controlled the means of production, and even arranged the production relations. He isolated the human factor in the production operation. The actual operators of the machine were the execution puppets and the computing power network behind them, which made strikes and demonstrations a joke. In addition, the company spared no effort to study how to put people in jars for lifelong labor. It is conceivable that they would use this method to deal with any resistance that showed signs. They have completed the blockade in terms of strength, and any small fights will only make them more mature and powerful, and become more and more experienced.

"Pavlovich said that the Gardener Organization is not easy, and they need to constantly screen out the undercover agents sent by the company. No, there is no way to guarantee the purity of the organization, not to mention the degree of organization. The establishment of a resistance organization is already expected by the company. Not everyone can be resurrected once like me, so there is no room for trial and error and growth for any organization."

By turning people from laborers into production tools, the company has gained great stability. Zhuang Xuteng scratched his head and found that if he wanted to overthrow the company by establishing an organization, he should establish an organization with puppet execution as the core, otherwise it would not pose any threat to the company. Thinking of this, he was depressed, completely depressed. He sat in the Mage Tower for several days, eating porridge when hungry and closing his eyes when sleepy. His thoughts were spinning in circles, unable to find relief or progress.

"You can't ask me to study the computing power network of the execution puppets and try to seize control, right? I can't defeat all the technicians and safety equipment of the four major companies by myself. I?" Zhuang Xuteng held his head in his hands, feeling very depressed. "Is there really no way out? Is the company really invincible?"

He also thought that if the four major companies had internal strife and another corporate war, he might be able to find opportunities in the chaos. But in reality, they have already completed the distribution of interests and formed a unified whole, so there will definitely be no internal strife in the short term. The Lich Master predicted that after more than a hundred years, with the fall of the Wall of Sighs, the corporate world would be destroyed by the decaying power that poured in, and before that, the four major companies were unlikely to split.

"Even if there is a split, I will definitely be able to use it?" Zhuang Xuteng knew his own strengths and weaknesses very well. He was best at lurking and killing people. Thinking of killing people, Zhuang Xuteng scratched his face and suddenly had an idea: "Can I kill all the people in the company at once?"

He believed that this idea came from the Lich Master, who was an expert in destroying the world. Through the super magic circle, he used a huge amount of magic power to construct a world-destroying spell, which instantly enveloped and swept the world, clearing away everything in the world. The spell was recorded on the stone pillar, and Zhuang Xuteng could check it at any time. However, he believed in the judgment of the Lich Master, and there was no need to waste time on something that could not be performed.

"I don't believe the company is invincible!" Even when he was most discouraged, Zhuang Xuteng used this sentence to encourage himself. Anzu also thought he was invincible, but he was killed by himself first. That guy called on the power of the whole world in the battle. Some people helped him to investigate, some people gave him advice, and there was a network to provide him with energy. In other words, if Anzu used his own power to fight Zhuang Xuteng, he would definitely... well, not necessarily. Zhuang Xuteng also used the power of the residents of the capital Constitution City, so he was not fighting alone.

But is it possible to use the power of the entire world to kill all the people in the company in one go?
Since there was no other idea, Zhuang Xuteng decided to see if this plan was feasible. He narrowed the scope to a city district and saw if he could do this.

It can definitely be done. Just use the collected resentment to slowly fill the area, and everyone in the area will die. He originally planned to use this method to deal with the people in the Hundred Hands Intelligence Center. If this method is used on all corners of the world at the same time, it will cause a mass extinction of mankind. If everyone dies, the company will no longer exist.

"Isn't this still destroying the world? Why am I becoming more and more like the Lich Master..." Zhuang Xuteng was distressed for a moment, shook his head to get rid of his emotions, and said to himself: "Let's see if it can be achieved technically first! If I have a way to destroy the world, the Lich Master may become interested again..."
