Industrial Cthulhu? It's Cthulhu Industrial!!

Chapter 9: City Hall and Research Institute (Please Read!)
The next day, Li Ang opened his eyes.

Then, as expected, I saw a piece of news that was not so unexpected.

'System prompt: Your civilization foundation has produced 33 humans who have joined your forces!'

System prompt: Due to insufficient loyalty, a human disobeyed your orders and secretly entered the Sky Garden to spy on the Silver Gate. He has now lost his mind and become an absolutely obedient zombie. You can control this zombie until his life is completely over.

"..."

Should we just send everyone to the Silver Gate and take a look?
Looking at the prompts given by the system, a dangerous idea came to Li Ang's mind, but he put it behind him in the blink of an eye.

He is a leader, a great man who wants to save humanity from the mad queen of Britannia and reach the stars, but he doesn't have to become more of a beast than the queen of Britannia.

It is indeed effective though.

"Time to work, humans."

After Leon finished washing up inside the Sky Garden, he took the human who was wandering on the edge of the Silver Gate out of the cornerstone where plants were spreading.

"Receive your food and then work for me for eight hours. All you have to do is obey and trust me, because the environment I provide you is the most benevolent one in the world. Of course, you can try to understand the secret of why I am so benevolent, but the result will be the same as his."

Looking at the humans' evasive and even frightened eyes, Leon did not explain anything.

Behind him, thirty-three newly created humans, who were almost exactly the same as the previous ones, were thrown into the line to receive food with confused and bewildered expressions.

The ninety-nine real living people and the forty-three artificial beings were indistinguishable from one another, even whispering to one another, like a mass of water meeting another. Perhaps, in this world at least, artificial beings weren't particularly sacred or sinful.

It's like a production line mining raw materials, there's nothing particularly noteworthy about it.

On the contrary, the human who had gone crazy stood out.

He had lost his normal human reactions, his pupils were completely dilated, and after witnessing the truth about the Silver Gate out of curiosity, he had completely turned into a puppet and an empty shell.

Under Leon's will, this empty-shell human also joined the crowd to collect food, but those humans instinctively formed an exclusionary space around him. No matter what Leon did, others would avoid this zombie in fear.

Obviously, the loss of will is something that is very easy for humans to distinguish.

It will also bring great terror to other normal humans.

"In other words, if used properly, these things seem to be able to greatly speed up work efficiency and time?"

Looking at the crowd whose movements had become much more agile due to terror and fear, Leon had some small calculations and ideas in his mind.

With the help of this zombie supervisor, the city hall and research institute planned by Leon were quickly built by hundreds of people working manually.

One was a pure wooden shack, barely two meters high, its planks unevenly built and leaking everywhere, threatening to blow it away in the face of a large wave. The other was the same shack, except for a hand-crafted stone platform and different types of stone inside.

You can't force a group of ordinary people to build complete buildings and houses using ordinary stone tools and wood without any experience or tools.

In reality, completing a complete building, or even the crude medieval architecture one imagines, requires quite sophisticated tools and knowledge. Unfortunately, there are no axes, saws, or anything else. Even so, under the system's requirements, this can still be considered a city hall and a research institute.

Placing the last spike-like stone inside the hastily built wooden house, a mysterious force instantly swept over everything, resoundingly transmitting the knowledge of all things into Leon's mind.

'System prompt: Your civilization has built the initial buildings, the Town Hall, and the Research Institute!'

'System prompt: You have unlocked scientific and technological research and cultural research!'

'System Tip: Based on your own knowledge and related research, you will receive extremely high municipal research bonuses and technological research bonuses!'

'System prompt: Map system has been opened!'

'System prompt: Resource exploration system has been activated!'

'System prompt: New civilization benefits have arrived! Your civilization will automatically learn farming skills! Now your civilization can cultivate and harvest some food as seeds!'

'System prompt: New civilization benefits have arrived! You can appoint a human as your chosen warrior!'

'System prompt: New civilization benefits have arrived! You can appoint a human as your spokesperson! He will gain a series of abilities that you allow!'

"..."

Under the gaze of everyone, a miracle was born.

The people watched in horror as unimaginable forces appeared above the two shacks they had built.

Although they were only nominally a city hall and a research institute, any human would know they were just two shacks. Yet, under that nameless power, the city hall and the research institute unexpectedly folded and twisted into each other.

It was as if the world were but a canvas, these two areas, anchored as zones, were painted over with discontent by their masters, redrawing a brand new appearance. A magnificent two-story building, seemingly even comparable to the Governor's Mansion on Paradise Continent, appeared in its place.

Not far away, a towering black attic with a telescope appeared in the open space.

This is a great power that only gods can achieve.

There is no doubt that this is just like the Royal Navy Fleet, this is a realm protected by God.

The crowd, who were originally skeptical and seemed to be secretly planning something, were suddenly horrified and knelt down speechless at the sight of the building falling from the sky.

Not only that, Leon raised his eyelids and saw a group of androids in the crowd who didn't seem to be surprised, but instead looked as if it was a matter of course.

"Charlemagne, you are my God-chosen champion."

"And you, the woman who tipped me off, your name will be Flora from now on. You will be my eyes and ears."

"Loyalty has its rewards, and I give them to you now."
