"We infected people have done nothing wrong, but we have to be treated like this... It was the Empire that treated us unfairly first. How can we trust the Empire?!"

As he spoke, the vines on his body danced, eventually covering him completely and entwining him into a vine man; even the armor on his body could not be seen.

"How could you say such a thing..."

The leader of the pioneer group began to breathe rapidly, pointing at the infected person in front of him, and was obviously very angry:

"How has the Empire wronged you? If it weren't for the trouble you caused, how could the Empire..."

But before he could finish, the infected person in front of him, who was completely entangled by vines and seemed to be completely alienated, suddenly let out a sharp scream, shocking everyone in the audience.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, it took a step forward without hesitation and pounced towards the star core lying on the snow not far away.

The infected people around it did not hesitate, and rushed towards the star core like hyenas fighting for food.

And the next second, they were completely sealed in the dark golden amber.

Ron quietly walked out from the side, came in front of the crowd, and picked up the glowing star core on the ground.

The star core obediently emitted warm light in Ron's hand. The warm light seemed to dispel the cold air around Ron, making him feel the warmth that he shouldn't have felt on this Everwinter Ridge.

He didn't care about anything, and casually stuffed the star core into his pocket, looking at the distraught leader of the Second Pioneer Group of the Empire not far away:

"How are you, are you okay?"

The team leader stared blankly at the infected people who were sealed and trapped in the crystal amber not far in front of him, and was silent for a long time.

Beside him, the other pioneers were also silent, and no one knew what they were thinking.

After a long time, the leader of the pioneer group seemed to have barely come back to his senses. He looked at the soldiers beside him, seeing their equally distraught expressions, and curled his lips in a self-deprecating manner:

"Ah, haha, it turns out to be His Majesty Ron..."

"I...are we okay...right?"

His words were incoherent and it was obvious that he was thinking about something else.

He was silent for a while, and suddenly the grown man began to sob. The atmosphere in the pioneer group was extremely heavy, and a sad atmosphere permeated Yongdong Ridge:

"We originally thought that they really were our comrades..."

"But they did this... Have these infected people really gone completely crazy, unable to control their desires, and turned into a group of monsters who don't care about others at all?"

"I...I have never wanted to believe this, but now it seems that this is actually true..."

As he spoke, a hint of self-blame gradually emerged in his tone:

"I shouldn't have trusted them. I should have seen through their true nature earlier... If I had been prepared earlier, this situation wouldn't have happened."

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty Ron, we failed in our duty..."

But Ron immediately interrupted him and stopped him from feeling sorry for himself.

"No, you did nothing wrong."

He shook his head, looked at the Second Empire Pioneer Group in front of him, and his tone became unusually soft:

"You have done everything you were supposed to do... You have done a great job."

"It's not wrong to be kind... you're just too kind and don't see them clearly."

"No matter how noble a hero is, he cannot defeat the despicable nature of human beings. These greedy villains are too crazy. It's not your fault..."

As he spoke, he suddenly changed the subject, and his gentle tone became icy cold, just like the cold wind blowing over Yongdong Ridge at this moment, biting and piercing:

"So this is my fault...it's my fault."

As he spoke, he turned his eyes in the direction of Beloberg, with a hint of fierceness in his eyes, as if one could glimpse the raging anger burning in them.

"Perhaps...my methods are still too gentle."

He said, his tone cold:

"I should have been more extreme."

A heavy weight fell on an extremely important scale in his heart.

Maybe it's time for all this... to end.

Chapter 18500 - Ron: Pharmacist, I want everything you can give me ()

The image on the screen faded, and new words appeared on it:

[The Empire's Second Pioneer Group suffered its greatest setback to date.]

[They have conquered the Rift, explored the ruins of the old times, and defeated countless Rift creations. Whether it was natural disasters or external enemies, they have never stopped the Second Pioneer Group of the Empire. ]

[And now, the disaster did not defeat them, but their fellow humans did. 】

[The betrayal of the infected dealt them a heavy blow. The Second Empire Pioneer Group obtained the entry: "Wall of Heart (Gray)"]

[Wall of Heart: Wariness and distrust of others constitute a barrier that traps their true heart. They have experienced unprecedented betrayal and will never trust their backs to others again.

The cohesion of the Empire's Second Pioneer Group has been greatly enhanced, and the Empire's Second Pioneer Group will be unable to reform or recruit new soldiers.

Their level of caution in any event will increase by 100%, and their ability to take action in any event will decrease by 50%.

Their hatred and suspicion towards the infected are completely fixed at full value, and there is no way the infected can win their trust. 】

Looking at the words on the light screen, Ron's anger was gradually ignited in his heart.

Things did develop as he expected, and the infected did rebel. However, unlike what he expected, the rebellion of the infected did not happen naturally, but was guided and bewitched by Sambo...

They learned about the star core because of Sangbo, and because of greed, they wanted to swallow the star core to gain more power...

Therefore, they ambushed their comrades in the pioneer group, and took the opportunity to escape from the encirclement of the pioneer group and rushed to Yongdong Ridge.

The reason why the pioneer group was trapped for so long and suffered such serious injuries was entirely because these infected people all backstabbed the pioneer group in the middle of the night and fled to Eternal Winter Ridge after the backstabbing. In order to stop them, the pioneer group chased them, so they were trapped for so long.

Ron felt a little guilty for the fact that the pioneer group had done their duty and suffered such great harm for it.

But more than that... is the tremendous anger that comes from the bottom of my heart.

Sambo... Sambo again.

The Masked Fool, who said he would hide at the edge of the stage and would not actually appear on stage, did not keep his promise at all.

He personally showed up to guide these infected people, informing them of the existence of the star core, attempting to arouse their greed and direct things in the direction he expected.

However, Ron had anticipated this. If it was just Sambo who jumped out to cause trouble, Ron would not have such a surge of anger rising in his heart...

He knew that Sambo was a bastard and that what he said was completely untrustworthy, so it was normal for him to resort to such tricks.

But the behavior of the infected made Ron very angry - Sambo only told them that the star core could bring power, and they completely believed Sambo, and immediately and ruthlessly rebelled against the empire and backstabbed their comrades in the pioneer group...

They have no control over their greed and are completely swallowed up by their desires... What qualities do they have that can be called human?

To be honest, in this simulation, no matter who betrayed him, as long as they were not infected, Ron could barely accept it.

Because this time, Ron in the simulation can let anyone down—

He deceived Bronya just to take control of the entire Beloberg;

He concealed the blessing of abundance from the people, just to keep the people's consumption within the range that the empire could bear;

In order to control the empire, he required Natasha's hands to be filled with blood, even though it went against her destiny and made her feel uneasy...

But he had never let down any infected person - even though he always felt that the infected were a burden that held the empire back, he had never thought of abandoning them completely.

The infected people ate the seeds of disaster because of their greed, and Ron still forgave their sins when facing these infected people who were parasitized because of greed.

For the sake of the empire's stability, perhaps Ron also has some compassion... Their lives may be a little simple, but they are definitely not miserable.

Ron... No, the entire empire is working hard to bring them back into the group, so that they will not be completely excluded because of the infection, but return to their loved ones.

No one owes them anything, everyone is very kind to them...

But they repay their benefactors with swords, succumb to the greedy desires in their hearts, use other people's lives as stepping stones to realize their own desires, and discard all the kindness of others...

If it weren't for their greed, nothing would have turned out like this.

Ron took a deep breath. Anger was burning in his mind, but there were also complicated thoughts interweaving and mixing.

Ron seemed to be calculating, and he calculated the benefits in a cold voice:

"Although the pioneer group was injured, it was actually expected... This is a necessary sacrifice, and the loss is far less than the gain."

Ron yawned lazily and said:

"Ha... Isn't this good? Just continue on the previous path. There won't be any big losses anyway. The previous plan can be implemented. Don't worry about so many troubles..."

Ron, who was full of desire to win, spoke urgently:

"What are you hesitating about! As long as we play this game like this, we will definitely win. We have lost several times before, so we should win this time. This small price doesn't matter at all. The most important thing is to win! Win!"

The complicated voices in his mind made Ron uneasy. He shook his head and threw these complicated thoughts out of his mind.

He didn't have time to sort out these thoughts for the time being.

He looked at the light screen in front of him, his hands moving at a speed not very fast. He clicked on the light screen to operate the simulated character to show concern for the Empire's Second Pioneer Group. After learning that although they were seriously injured, they could march safely back to the base because the Everlasting Winter Ridge was not far from Beloberg, he immediately left the Everlasting Winter Ridge and returned to Beloberg.

The reason why he was so anxious was because Ron knew one thing -

Since Sambo can seduce the infected in the pioneer group, he can definitely seduce the infected in the quarantine zone.

This incident was actually just a strategy to lure the tiger away from the mountain... There were too few infected people in the pioneer group. No matter how they were provoked, as long as Sangbo didn't really take action, it wouldn't have much impact on the pioneer group.

Although there are many infected people in the quarantine area, because Ron is in charge in Beloberg, no matter what kind of unrest Sambo causes, Ron can personally suppress it and it will not leave too much impact.

So... taking advantage of the opportunity when Ron leaves Beloberg, he will definitely go and seduce the infected people in the quarantine area, causing a huge turmoil starting from the quarantine area.

Ron thought so in his heart and tapped the screen in front of him, causing the simulated character to speed up and head to Beloberg faster.

Although Ron didn't know why Sambo always confronted him, he could still figure out what this guy Sambo was doing.

Sambo likes to use things that shouldn't be mentioned as bargaining chips, and then exaggerate them to ordinary people, tempting these ordinary people who have no cognitive ability at all to make choices they shouldn't make.

This was the case with the infected people who had eaten the seeds of disaster before, and it is also the case with the infected people who want to steal the star core now.

Ron was thinking silently in his heart, and new words popped up on the light screen in front of him:

[You are very uneasy and suspect that the Masked Fool will return to Beloberg and seduce the infected in the quarantine zone just like he lured the infected in the pioneer group, thereby causing an unprecedented turmoil.]

[You know that there are a large number of infected people in the quarantine zone. Without you in charge, the First Earth Fire Development Group will definitely not be able to suppress their rebellion.]

[You hurried back to Beloberg, and as you walked into the city gate of Beloberg, you smelled a faint smell of blood.]

[Your heart is alarmed and you rush towards the smell of blood. On the way, you encounter more and more Beloberg residents who have stopped in their tracks and are all looking in the direction where the smell of blood comes from...]

[As expected, you pushed through the crowd and came to the empty space in the middle of the crowd... You came to the Beloberg People's Hospital. ]

[You see at the exit of the quarantine zone, the First Earth Fire Pioneer Group is desperately resisting the dark green wave.]

[The infected in the quarantine area rebelled. 】

The text on the screen faded, and a new picture appeared on it:

"Xixissuosuo..."

The sound of vines rubbing against stones rang in the ears, and endless vines emerged from the isolation zone as if they had consciousness, and then rushed towards the First Earth Fire Pioneer Group standing at the exit of the isolation zone.

These vines fell heavily like a tide, directly knocking some unlucky pioneer soldiers into the air, and then throwing them to the ground, causing these pioneers to spit out blood mixed with fragments of internal organs, and curled up on the ground like shrimps, completely unconscious due to the pain.

Standing in front of the First Underground Fire Pioneer Group and leading them in the heroic fight was not only the leader of the First Underground Fire Pioneer Group, Xier, but also Natasha, who also stood in front of everyone, facing the rolling tide.

However, their current condition is not very good - both Xier and Natasha have suffered serious injuries.

The sturdy military uniform was torn by the vines, revealing the cut flesh inside.

The blood stained their robes red and dripped onto the ground, forming small puddles of blood.

Such serious injuries that could be seen on bones were everywhere on their bodies... Where Natasha's left arm should have been was now empty, leaving only a half-torn and broken empty sleeve stained with scarlet. It was unknown who had broken her arm.
