Zhang Lie realized something was wrong after taking two steps, because Martin and his men had been waiting behind him since he sat down, but now they were nowhere to be seen.
"Where are my people?" Zhang Lie stared at the guide.
"I don't know, I'm only responsible for leading the way."
Zhang Lie grabbed the other person's neck and said,"You are also a sinner, either a noble or a pirate. Looking at your current state, you are worse off dead than alive. Do you want me to help you and free you?"
"Whatever you want, I'll just lead the way."That guy still said the same thing, brainwashed and didn't care about his own life at all.
Zhang Lie immediately understood the situation of this guy, and closed his eyes and carefully felt the surroundings.
However, perhaps he was deliberately targeted, he could not sense anything unusual at all. Just when he was about to make a big fuss, a voice suddenly sounded beside him.
"Don't worry, they are all fine now, including the companion you left on the boat. I have arranged for people to provide water and food."
Zhang Lie looked over and saw a middle-aged man suddenly appeared in the empty place. He looked very ordinary and his clothes were nothing special. However, this person did not exist at all in his perception.
"What is your purpose in separating us?"
"Just treat them as hostages. If you care about them, then complete the trial well. If you don't care about them, then there is no need to care."
"I'm cooperating, why do I have to do this?"Zhang Lie didn't understand. If he really wanted to give the island to him, he shouldn't do this. It would only add to the hatred and there would be no other benefits.
"The trial is not over yet, and I don't think you will accept it next." Hayward said, and then disappeared without a trace.
Zhang Lie suddenly took action and kicked in the direction where Hayward had just stood, but it did not cause any reaction.
"Is it an illusion? But why is there a sound? If it is not an illusion, why does it suddenly appear and disappear? Or is it always there, but just covered up by an illusion? It feels much smarter than before."
He stared at that direction for a while, and only got out of his thoughts when the guide signaled, and followed him out again.
Not long after, Zhang Lie walked out of the fog, and in front of him was still the same village. At this point, he finally couldn't help asking:
"Okay, tell me what to do next, I'm in a hurry."
Hayward suddenly appeared again, Zhang Lie took a step back and took a defensive posture:
"It can appear even outside the fog range. It seems that your illusion is not only dependent on fog."
""Guess." Hayward spread his hands and smiled.
Zhang Lie was in no mood to joke with him:"Guess what? Tell me what you're going to do next.""
"Well, that's boring." Hayward sighed, showing a regretful expression,"You just mentioned some ideas for governing the country, which I also think are very good. The next step is to implement these ideas."
"Are you kidding me?"Zhang Lie exclaimed
"Do you think I'm kidding? All I have to do is govern this country well, make it a better place, and make the people happier. I'm handing the island over to you, so I have to make sure you can make them better."
"I don't want it anymore. There are so many things waiting for me to do outside. You told me that you want to manage and develop this island? Don't bullshit. Let me leave. I will keep it a secret for you. You continue to look for the next successor."
"Do you think I will believe you?" Hayward's face was cold,"Don't forget that I still have your people in my hands."
"So there is no choice?" Zhang Lie gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words.
Hayward suddenly laughed again:"Of course not, you can leave if you want, but only you can leave, and everyone else has to stay."
"Isn't it the same!"
"Then do as I say." After saying that, Hayward smiled again and said,"Don't worry, it won't take up too much of your time."
"It doesn't take too long to develop an island. In my opinion, it will take at least two years to start."Having said that, Zhang Lie still calmed down.
"Where do I work? Who helps me?"
"The location is arbitrary. Since this village is the closest, we can work here. As for the people, those who have redeemed themselves can do it."
"I still want my people to help me."Zhang Lie still did not give up.
"Don't even think about it."
After being clearly rejected, Zhang Lie stopped thinking about other things and walked into a room to start working under the strange eyes of the villagers.
But the first thing he did was to make a request:
"Hai…Ward, right? I need to open up the island. It is impossible to develop if it is covered with fog every day. Closing the country will definitely lead to backwardness."
I thought it was impossible to achieve this. He wanted to reject these tests because the conditions were not met, but the result did not let him do as he wished.
"No problem, I'll clear the fog right away, now you have the final say"
"So easy to talk to?" Zhang Lie climbed up and prepared to take a step further,"Then give me a Den Den Mushi so I can give orders."
"This won't work. Who knows what you'll use the Den Den Mushi for? Besides, all these redeemers are under my control. Your orders can be transferred through me and instantly transmitted to any place." Hayward didn't give him a chance.
Zhang Lie spread his hands and said,"Okay, but this way I can't contact the outside world, and I can't send people out to learn shipbuilding technology. Isn't this a dead end? So let me go.""
"There is no need. This island has only been closed to the outside world for 20 years, and the relics of that time are still there."
Hayward waved his hand, and mist rose in the center of the hall, forming a very detailed map of the island. He pointed to a corner of the map and said:
"This is the remains of a former shipyard. It can be used after repairs. The shipbuilders are still there and can be called up to build ships. There is no problem now.���, right?"
"What a coincidence! What bad luck!"Zhang Lie was quite depressed when his little plan failed. Now he had no choice but to start developing it honestly.
This island, or this country, I don't know if it's because of Hayward's long-term"guardianship", all the people are very"well-behaved", and those redeemers are machines without personal feelings, and their execution ability is simply extraordinary.
Zhang Lie's understanding of this is very profound. Often, just after an order is given in the morning, it will be completely arranged in the afternoon. He only needs to sit in the room and listen to reports and give orders.
Originally, Zhang Lie had temporarily given up the idea of escaping, and even gave up the war at the top. He only planned to resume the shipyard in half a month. Two In July, the first batch of ships were built and organized to sail.
But the actual progress was ridiculously fast. The factory resumed work in just three days and the ship set sail in half a month.
This period of time made Zhang Lie feel unreal, as if this island gathered all the talents and anyone needed could be found immediately.
He was hopeful when he saw this scene, and he also carried out other work simultaneously, such as unified planning of farmland, formation of military training, construction of educational facilities, etc., all of which were completed within a month.
One day a month later, Zhang Lie was working on compiling laws, regulations and various rules and regulations, when Hayward suddenly appeared and brought very bad news.
