Star Dome Railway, are you a player too?

Ron looked at the red entry that was always flashing on the light screen, hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed.

Still not working...it's still not time to pray to the [Abundance] Medicine Master.

He didn't know if he could keep his sanity after receiving the blessing from the pharmacist. If he couldn't keep his sanity immediately after gaining the power, then the threat posed by the Seed of Disaster or Sambo would be far less terrible than him.

We haven't reached the final desperate stage yet... let's continue with our plan and try to solve the big trouble caused by Sambo.

Ron thought this in his mind, took a deep breath, looked at the light screen in front of him seriously, and started operating on it.

[You issue orders to all the loyal officials you trust enough and arrange them in an orderly manner to the positions where they should exist. 】

[The cable cars in the upper and lower areas of Beloberg were operating at full capacity. The mining team stopped production for the first time, and everyone arrived at Beloberg under the blue sky. 】

[You ordered Xier and Bronya to lead the First Earth Fire Development Group and the Second Empire Development Group to clear out the Belloberg Business District as quickly as possible. They accepted your order without hesitation. At your urging, he led the pioneering group to march to the split world. 】

[The urban area eroded by the Rift was leveled by the uniform footsteps of the pioneering group. Under the influence of the entry "All-purpose Panacea", the Rift that was unable to expand was severely weakened. The Creation of the Rift was generated from the shadow, but But under the iron heel of the pioneering group, they were wiped out into dust. 】

[In just one hour, Xi'er and Bronya reported back to you, informing them that they led the pioneering team to completely clear out the Belloberg business district that was eroded by the rift, and completely take back all the city areas that were eroded by the rift. 】

[During this period of time, you and Cocolia went deep into the Everwinter Ridge. Under the command of the spear of protection, the sleeping giant woke up from the wind and snow, and its bright red eyes slowly raised, looking towards Belloberg swaying in the wind and snow. 】

[Under the leadership of the city builders, the engine of creation that once flattened the mountains, cleared away the wind and snow, and built the Eternal City is now lighting up the core again, with its steel arms waving vigorously, building most of the blocks in the Belloberg Business District. The speed bulldozes it and shapes it into the quarantine area you want, under your control. 】

[You order the mining team to enter the isolation area created by the creation engine and carry out simple decoration in the isolation area. 】

[The scattered gravel and large pieces of waste left behind were quickly excavated by the mining team and transported out of the isolation area in an orderly manner. 】

[They quickly laid out a templated wooden isolation house, placed simple wooden support boards as tables and chairs, and laid fabrics as beds in the isolation house, building an entire isolation area step by step. 】

[The prototype of the isolation area that was simply built by the creation engine gradually became more mature under the construction of the mining team. Although it looks extremely rough and simple, and has no ability to keep warm, and can only be used as a shield to protect privacy, it can still be carried out. Containment of infected persons. 】

[You arranged for the pioneering team to take out a full third of the grain stored in the treasury and place it under strict supervision in the Silver Mane Iron Guard logistics area outside the quarantine area, making preparations to supply the quarantine area. 】

Looking at the text on the light screen, Ron breathed a sigh of relief.

There were no problems in the early preparations. The construction of the quarantine area, the "Belloberg People's Hospital", was originally a slightly troublesome part in Ron's expectation, because in such a short period of time, he wanted to complete the construction of the "Belloberg People's Hospital". It is very difficult to recover the regained Belloberg business district and transform it into a containment area, even if it is only barely usable.

But what surprised Ron somewhat was that because the empire had not been fully mobilized before, he did not fully know how much capabilities the empire had. He only had a rough estimate range... He thought that the current empire He should just barely be able to do all this.

But he did not expect that the combat effectiveness of the pioneering group was much stronger than he imagined, and Bronya and Xier's troop leadership abilities were also much stronger than in the previous simulations;

The execution ability of the mining team was far stronger than expected. Cocolia showed no signs of backstabbing and rebelling. Instead, she found the Creation Engine with Ron very reliably and accompanied him in the initial attack on Belloberg Business District. After initial transformation, the prototype of the isolation area was built.

It must be said that this was a good start, but Ron did not relax too much.

This is just the beginning... The real difficulty will be to stabilize the infected people who have eaten the seeds of disaster and bury all the mines, completely losing the possibility of explosion.

There is still a long way to go...

He couldn't help but sigh softly, then cheered up and looked at the light screen in front of him.

The text on the light screen faded away, and a new note appeared:

[Natasha found you late at night with a tired look on her face. 】

[She tells you that she has completely completed the task you assigned her. Now there is an infected person in Belloberg Prison who was fed dozens of seeds of disaster by her and has completely lost his mind and been dominated by desire. 】

[She provides you with an experimental report - when just eating one Seed of Disaster, the infected person who took the Seed of Disaster will feel very good and think that they have truly evolved. 】

[The infected person will be transformed by the seed of disaster. Small vines will crawl out of the pores, but only a very small part. At most, some vine tentacles or moss will appear on the back of the hand or cheek, and the infected person will not feel it. to these parasites have any effect on them. 】

[After eating the seed of disaster, the infected person will feel a certain degree of hunger within three hours. Although the infected person can obviously restrain his appetite at this time, due to the influence of appetite, the infected person at this time will He appears irritable and more aggressive than before, but he is still a normal human being. 】

[After six hours, the aggressiveness of the infected person who has not eaten at all will increase significantly, the parasitic vines will begin to activate, and the infected person's body will become somewhat shriveled, as if the nutrients have been sucked away by the parasitic vines, and the rationality will be lost. The intensity subsides, and attempts to eat anything that might be edible begin, and the aggression increases again. 】

[Natasha fed the infected person about a day's worth of meals for a normal adult man. After eating the food, the infected person's body immediately became full, and the parasitic vines gradually stopped dancing from the infected person's body. . 】

[The infected person quickly regained consciousness and his physical fitness further improved. 】

[But his hunger only partially subsided, and he was still as irritable and irritable as the infected person who had been hungry for three full hours. 】

[Because there was not enough time, Natasha fed it dozens of seeds of disaster. 】

[According to observations, every time an infected person eats a Seed of Disaster, his hunger seems to be greatly reduced, and his physical fitness will be greatly improved, allowing him to evolve again. 】

[After evolving for dozens of times, the seed of disaster was fed to it. After only 10 minutes of being rational and calm at the beginning, the infected person was completely swallowed up by desire and lost all rationality. 】

[Vines and moss grew wildly on his body, completely parasitizing and binding him. 】

[According to Natasha's estimation, the strength of the infected person who swallowed dozens of seeds of disaster is not weaker than her. If it weren't for being a prisoner from the beginning, she would be kept in the strongest room of Belloberg Prison by caution. Conducting experiments in the cell, I am afraid that she and the infected person will have an extremely fierce battle, and she may even lose. 】

Looking at the text on the light screen, Ron rubbed his chin:

"The appetite will not go away after it starts to appear. You need to keep eating to maintain your sanity, and will it start to evolve after eating food..."

He made a final decision: "It is basically consistent with previous expectations."

The infected person who eats the seed of disaster is very similar to the people of Plenty, but the infected person who eats the seed of disaster will not lose their mind immediately. They will become crazy after six hours of no food, maybe seven or eight hours. Only then will he completely lose his mind and become a monster and a madman.

As for the situation where the infected person went completely crazy after going without food for 10 minutes, it is unlikely to happen in the future, so don’t think about it.

Because infected people who have eaten dozens of seeds of disaster are like rich people who have taken away dozens of blessings of fertility. In fact, it is very difficult to appear...

After all, although Sambo distributed the seeds of disaster, he only gave one to each of the citizens of Belloberg. As ordinary citizens, it was difficult for them to get more.

It is precisely because of this... that they still have a chance to stabilize their personal status and continue to be members of the empire without being detonated.

It was no wonder that he had been thinking hard before, writing down his plans and decisions bit by bit... and now the development of things has not deviated from his plan at all.

Ron thought so in his mind and clicked on the light screen in front of him.

Time to take the next step.

Chapter 68—Undercurrent of the Empire, Suppressing the Threat (4k)

[You have made all the preparations in advance, it is time to choose how to reveal all this to your people. 】

【please choose--】

[1. Give a speech to reveal the existence of the seeds of disaster and appease the people.

You think that the subjects of the empire have only been together for a year. The people of the empire are unstable and unable to face serious disasters together.

In order for the empire to prevent the people from panicking and becoming disloyal, they cannot first release infected people to scare the people.

You decide to give a speech to reveal the existence of the Seed of Disaster, hinting at its danger to the people in a small way, and then hold many speeches to deepen people's impression of the Seed of Disaster, and then completely reveal everything after the people can accept the threat of danger.

After selecting this option, it is possible to trigger events: "Ignorants in the Shadows", "Panic Under the Lies"]

[2. Conduct a speech to warn the public using severely infected people as examples.

Do you think that in this critical moment of survival, the empire has no time to carefully act as a nanny for the people and appease the people... It is time to explain everything to the people.

You decide to stick to your original plan and give a large speech, using the seriously infected person created by Natasha as a warning to arouse the fear of the people, and use this to arouse their fighting spirit to resist and contribute to the dawn of the empire tomorrow.

After selecting this option, events may be triggered: "It's better to be united as one!", "Crash in desperate situation"]

[3. Conduct a bloody public execution.

You don’t think you should back down.Infected people who eat the seeds of disaster are hidden disasters. Monsters in human skin are completely different from humans and a complete enemy of the species.

You decide to publicize the gap between monsters and humans, lead the people's fire of hatred to start burning, and fire the first shot to lead the wave for the ignorant people.

You will conduct the most bloody trial and execute the severely infected people created by Natasha in front of all the people of the empire.

After selecting this option, events may be triggered: "Drive out all the monsters", "This is a battle for the survival of the race!"]

Looking at the options on the light screen, Ron couldn't help but hesitate a little between options No. [-] and No. [-].

Theoretically speaking, he should actually not care about options No. [-] and No. [-]. One of the two options is too soft and the other is too rough. Only option No. [-] perfectly fits his plan and can stabilize the possible unrest step by step. ...

From a rational point of view, only option [-] can perfectly achieve Ron's goal. Option [-] is too rough and can easily cause the empire to fall apart.

But when things came to a close, he appreciated option number three even more - at a time when victory was about to come and the empire was on the rise, Sambo came out to do this kind of thing, just like the Great Pyramid that was knocked down in one round while playing Civilization. The First Emperor next door snatched the same thing, which made people extremely unhappy.

According to Ron's normal way of doing things, when faced with this kind of thing, he would still have to break up with someone even if he didn't win the game. The main thing was a tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye.

but......

Ron glanced at the light screen in front of him. There was a very conspicuous white entry on his personal panel——

"Embracing each other under the blue sky."

This was the marriage vow he and Natasha made in this simulation.

He promised Natasha that he would allow the people to walk freely under the blue sky and welcome a new world as warm as spring... He didn't like to break his promise to others, even if it was just in a game.

If he really chooses option three, although he will definitely be able to vent his anger, the entire Yaliluo Second Empire will only face destruction...

The civil war started by Ron will never be extinguished. Perhaps the final outcome will be that the civil war will cause the entire empire to be fragmented. Beloberg will be buried in the wind and snow, leaving only Ron and Sambo, who is forced to show up in the end.

At this point, one move can affect the whole body. If you want the empire to overcome the current difficulties and start moving forward again, you must not make such a willful choice...

Ron thought this in his mind and chose option number two.

The options on the light screen faded, and new text appeared on it...

-------------------------------------

[You have perfectly completed the task assigned to you by Ron. 】

[Ron decided to give a speech immediately. He will show the severely infected people you created in front of everyone to warn the entire empire. 】

[The appeal of the empire has not diminished due to the recent troubles. Under the announcement of the Iron Guard and the Pioneer Corps, the vast majority of the empire's citizens left their posts and gathered again in the Beloberg Administrative District——]

[The last time so many people gathered in front of the Monument of Eternal Winter was the day when Ron announced the establishment of the Second Empire of Yalilo... This gathering represents the turning point of the empire, whether it is heading towards decline and decadence, or towards brightness and glory. new world? 】

[You don't know this clearly...but you believe that Ron will fulfill his promise. 】

The text on the light screen faded away, and a new picture emerged from it:

The Beloberg Administrative District has changed compared to the day when Ron announced the establishment of the empire a year ago. All the ancient buildings in the administrative district that were built hundreds of years ago were renovated within this year, even the symbol of "Existence" The Eternal Winter Monument of the will to protect the people has also been carefully re-carved, and engraved with a vine pattern representing "fertility".

The Eternal Winter Monument was polished and polished, and the entire Belloberg had a feeling of prosperity. It was far better than the decadent giant city that once swayed in the wind and snow and struggled to resist the rift.

But even though Beloberg had a completely new look, among the crowd gathered in front of the Eternal Winter Monument, the spirit that should have flourished in them was missing. Only suspicion and fear were revealed on their faces.

There was a lot of noise among the crowds of people, and a small vendor whispered to the person next to him:

"What happened...why did His Majesty Ron suddenly capture us all and insist on listening to this speech?"

The person he was asking the question was obviously an acquaintance of his, a worker who looked a bit honest.

The man scratched his head and said hesitantly:

"It seems to be some kind of infectious disease...? That's what the pioneer brother who informed me today told me. I don't know what the disease is..."

"Alas...you don't know this, right?"

There was a sigh from the side, and an uncle wearing a felt hat and thick clothes intervened in their conversation:

"I heard that that thing that appeared around everyone inexplicably a few days ago - that fruit, do you remember it?"

"Didn't the pioneering team and the Silver-maned Iron Guards go door-to-door to collect these fruits? Our great guardian, Lord Cocolia, also preached to collect these fruits, but in the end someone still didn't hand over the fruits... .”

As the man spoke, he glanced cautiously at the dense crowd around him, lowered his voice, and said mysteriously:

"I've seen people eating these fruits next to my apartment before..."

"Eat these fruits? Your Majesty Ron and Master Cocolia both said that eating these fruits will kill you. How come anyone really dares to eat this?"

The two people who listened to this man were a little surprised, but the old man in the felt hat shook his head and said:

"There are always people who don't believe in the empire... Some people think that both His Majesty Ron and Lord Cocolia are oppressing them. They think that these fruits are life-saving artifacts and are blessings given by the Amber King after hearing their prayers. ."

"They really believed the note in the box. They thought that eating these fruits would make them immune to wind, snow and cracked worlds, and they would become immortal and live forever in the world."

He said slightly sarcastically: "But how could such a good thing happen... There was a ruffian in the apartment where I lived. Before His Majesty Ron announced the establishment of the empire, that bastard was in the Iron Guard. He was an old man. The minister’s white gloves, you can see this guy throwing excrement on people’s doors every day, threatening those who find evidence of their corruption to shut up.”

"But now that your Majesty Ron is here, this bastard's good days will naturally come to an end——

All those ministers were imprisoned. This guy who had no protective umbrella should have gone in, but maybe he was lucky and had completely ignored his responsibilities, so he was kicked out of the military area gate by the iron guard and could only I stay at home drinking every day, scolding His Majesty Ron when I have nothing to do, and I have completely turned into a useless person..."

"A few days ago, I saw him laughing a little crazy, saying that his time was coming, and then he ate a small berry."

"I saw strange green hair growing on his body after he ate the fruit..."

"It was fine up to this point, but two days later, I opened the window late at night and saw him downstairs chewing on the apartment wall tiles like crazy. His body was covered with green hair. It looks like a monster.”

The old man in the felt hat said, with a hint of fear in his eyes:

"Then I made eye contact with that guy, and I felt like he was crazy. He looked at me like I was a red sausage... He just wanted to eat me!"

"Fortunately, the apartment building had been renovated under His Majesty Ron's renovation order at that time. Even after turning into a monster, this guy couldn't rush into the apartment. He hit the wall bricks for a long time and then fled into the night, never to be seen again. ....."

He said with some lingering fear:
