Leaving the research center, Lu Heng went to find Lin Yu.
He hadn't told anyone about the annexation of Dragon City, and he wanted to inform Lin Yu so he could make arrangements there as soon as possible.
Dragon City was different from Peace City, so the same plan used to annex Peace City wouldn't work.
"Brother Lu, at this hour, what's happened?"
When he found Lin Yu, Lin Yu was in his office flipping through documents. He glanced at the still dark sky outside.
"Mm, sit down and talk. I didn't see you when I got back to my room, so I figured you'd be here. But I just came from the research center."
Lin Yu walked around his desk and sat down next to Lu Heng.
"You should be careful too. What needs to be done in the city that requires staying up all night?"
"Heh heh, I'm used to it. I couldn't sleep, so I came to look at the documents myself. It's nothing important."
"Last night I went to Dragon City and killed its administrator. The largest territory in Dragon City should now belong to your father."
"What happened in Dragon City?"
Then Lu Heng briefly explained the situation in Dragon City to Lin Yu, including that the administrator of Dragon City was the zombie father.
Lin Yu was very surprised after hearing this. "What was he thinking? When his son was first infected, he was just an ordinary zombie. Without sentience, how could he have thought of keeping his son to continue the family line?"
"That's unclear."
Since the person was already dead, his original intentions could no longer be verified.
"You arrange it quickly and take over Dragon City. The place is leaderless now, and their forces are not all former military personnel."
Lu Heng also mentioned that many civilians had been taken in there, and they were impersonating military personnel to manage the base.
"Okay, I'll find Zhao Youcheng and the others right away."
At this moment, they already had walkie-talkies. All captains and above in Wuming City had one, ensuring the fastest communication within the city.
Soon, Zhao Youcheng and the others rushed over. Seeing Lu Heng there, they all greeted him.
"City Lord Lu."
"Mm, then you all figure it out yourselves. I'm going back."
Lu Heng didn't intend to participate in the specific affairs within Wuming City. After briefing Lin Yu, he planned to go back and rest.
He had been busy almost all night. He didn't plan to get involved in the subsequent matters unless Lin Yu and the others still had unresolved issues.
...
Lu Heng slept until he naturally woke up in the space.
Then Lu Heng remembered the robot he had found in the high-dimensional space.
The robot was placed in the space, and he could go and study it now.
However, Lu Heng didn't have high hopes. After all, the technological level on Blue Star was limited, and it wouldn't be a matter of a day or two to understand it.
Looking at the robot lying on the ground, its power cut off, Lu Heng began to examine the place where he had severed its power supply.
A gap had been pried open there, exposing the wires. The inside was filled with metal wires.
He carefully used a dagger to pick out a metal wire. The outer layer of this metal wire was coated with a layer of paint, which Lu Heng estimated was for insulation.
Otherwise, with so many metal wires inside, if any of them touched, the robot's control would definitely be affected.
"Where is this robot's control program?"
Lu Heng pried open more of the robot's outer casing and looked inside.
He had been somewhat flustered and cut off the robot's energy control, and he didn't know where he had touched.
Moreover, the connection points between the metal wires and the internal components were not welded.
Sigh!
He sighed again. Even if he took it all apart, he probably wouldn't understand it.
He still needed to find some written language and then find some materials to start from that angle.
Putting away his dagger, Lu Heng looked at the robot, which seemed dead, and left.
However, Lu Heng didn't notice that after he left, a flash of red light flickered in the robot's chest cavity, which was lying on the ground.
...
The annexation work in Dragon City proceeded relatively smoothly.
Except for Lin Yu's father, who could not be accommodated, everyone else underwent a thorough cleansing.
Lin Yu led the people of Wuming City to take charge of Dragon City. Four-fifths of the original management personnel were removed, and only a very small number of personnel were retained after passing the director's test.
"Lin Yu, why don't you at least help me keep my qualification to manage Dragon City?" Lin Zhongshan said impatiently, following behind Lin Yu.
He had finally managed to see Lin Yu, and he came to talk to him without regard for the obstacles.
His position had also been stripped, and he belonged to the four-fifths.
But without power and without anything to do, he wandered around the city restlessly, looking for various opportunities to negotiate with Lin Yu.
He wanted to use his identity as Lin Yu's father to pressure Lin Yu again and arrange a position for himself in Dragon City.
"The fact that I haven't kicked you out of Dragon City is already out of consideration for our father-son relationship. Don't covet things that don't belong to you anymore."
Lin Yu showed no leniency to Lin Zhongshan, speaking sternly in front of many people.
"You scoundrel! I am your father, do you want to force me to death?"
"Do you want to die?"
Lin Zhongshan looked at Lin Yu in astonishment. He still had his son's appearance, but the demeanor Lin Yu exuded now had no trace of his former self.
"I, I am your father. You should at least arrange something for me. You can't make me go out and kill zombies myself. They confiscated all my old savings, and I only have a few dozen crystals on me now. Are you going to let me starve?"
Lin Yu stopped and turned to look at Lin Zhongshan.
At this moment, Lin Zhongshan's hair was all white, and he no longer looked like he did when they first met in the apocalypse.
Lin Zhongshan's face was full of anxiety, but there was still a glint of greed in his eyes.
"I won't let you starve. You can go to the large canteen in the city to get food every day. I'll make a note of it."
"You, you, then arrange a separate room for me. I don't want to share a room with those people."
"That's impossible. You'd better behave yourself. If you jump out and cause trouble again, I really won't mind kicking you out."
Lin Zhongshan took a step back when he saw Lin Yu's cold eyes.
"I haven't done anything wrong, why are you treating me like this?"
"Heh heh, look at yourself now, and then look at the situation in Dragon City. Do you still dare to say you haven't done anything wrong?"
Not to mention anything else, after he arrived, he saw the entertainment venues in Dragon City, which contained many grey industries.
Lin Yu had been imprisoned in the early days of the apocalypse and had been resold like livestock. He hated these things the most, people who didn't care about the lives of ordinary people.
"Stop him. He is not allowed to enter the inner city from now on."
Without further argument with Lin Zhongshan, Lin Yu turned and walked away quickly.
Behind him, Lin Zhongshan's curses grew fainter...
