Chapter 190 Never let ordinary people become slaves!
After clearing out most of the mutant creatures between the six base cities, at Si Yuan's order, comprehensive infrastructure construction began, building roads and railroads to restore traffic.
If it weren't for the mutant birds in the sky that were difficult to clear after one wave was cleared, even air traffic could have been restored.
It is actually not difficult to build roads and railroads, because the highways and railroads left over from before the apocalypse still have foundations. Now we only need to repair them on the basis of the remaining foundations, which is much easier than starting from scratch.
Originally, the six base cities were built based on the six major cities before the end of the world. The transportation between these six cities was also ready-made. Now they are just restored to their original state.
There are many small cities, villages and other areas between the six major cities, which are also included in the restoration scope.
With the six base cities as points, they are connected into a hexagonal shape and a defense network is laid out. Inside this hexagon is a safe zone where everyone in the base city can move around safely.
Although these cleared wild safety zones are far less secure than the base city, they are definitely much safer than those uncleaned dangerous areas where real wild mutant creatures roam everywhere.
When the scope of security activities was expanded, the housing pressure in the six base cities disappeared. After all, those people who were crowded in the base cities and could not get houses to live in could go out of the base cities and find empty houses in cities or villages near the base cities. Although it was not as safe as inside the base cities, there would not be too much danger. After all, they had been cleared out and only a few small fish were left, and they could solve the problem themselves.
Moreover, the base city is also actively expanding outward. They live outside the base city. Maybe one day, because of the expansion of the base city, their residential address will become inside the base city.
The biggest problem now is the problem of the defense network. Before, the six base cities only needed to defend the four walls of their own base cities, but now they need to defend the hexagonal defense circle connecting the six base cities.
The battle line is too long and there are not enough people.
However, the solution is still what Si Yuan said: as long as you are strong enough, any problem is not a problem.
Si Yuan directly created a space shield to cover the six base cities. If the mutant creatures from the outside world want to come in, they must have the strength to break the space shield created by Si Yuan, otherwise they cannot move forward at all.
Moreover, Si Yuan also set up teleportation nodes everywhere, so he can teleport his troops to wherever he wants.
This is the true use of space power.
After Si Yuan demonstrated this skill, everyone in the six base cities no longer had any doubts about his orders. They all thought the same thing - after all, the master's strength was unfathomable, and his methods were more numerous than they could imagine. What was a difficult problem for them was a small problem that could be easily solved for the master.
So after the safe zone that had been cleaned up was protected by Si Yuan's space shield and there was no need to worry about being robbed, everyone had more ideas about outward expansion.
After all, there are more than six base cities in the world, and the outside world is vast and has abundant resources. Now that they have the support of a peerless strong man like Si Yuan, wouldn’t it be a shame to the slave mark engraved on their chin if they don’t work hard to expand outward?
Moreover, when they were conducting diplomacy with other base cities, they were often ridiculed by the psychics in other base cities after seeing the slave mark on their chins. They had to drag down those guys who laughed at them!
This idea of "sharing happiness with others is worse than enjoying it alone" coincides with the thoughts of the psychics in Yunhai Base City.
Perhaps it is because both happiness and pain arise from contrast.
Therefore, those who have been marked as slaves cannot bear to see those free people with special abilities wandering around in front of them. It is only fair that everyone must be slaves together!
As a result, the army of slaves and superpowers under Si Yuan were full of fighting spirit, clamoring to conquer other base cities and conquer the entire world for their master.
Si Yuan was very pleased that people’s hearts were willing to fight!
Then he waved his hand and said: OK!
The powerful superpowers from the six base cities went out together, and with Si Yuan, a space power user, providing teleportation, the army of slave power users was at the gates of the city, and the garrisons of other base cities might not have noticed it yet.
Moreover, Si Yuan was not a man of martial ethics. He would teleport his own army into other people's base cities if he could, instead of teleporting them to the gate of the base city and letting them attack the city.
Attacking a city consumes so much energy. If you teleport directly into the base city, the city gates will be useless. The weapons in the base city that are aimed at external enemies cannot be used against the enemy forces inside.
These base cities fell so easily.
Yunhai Base City expanded from a single base city at the beginning to a merger of six base cities, but it is still called Yunhai Base City.
Later, they annexed one base city after another. Every time they annexed a base city, they would open up the road between this base city and the Yunhai base city, clean it up, and incorporate it into the base's safe zone. Gradually, humans regained lost territory step by step.
Because the population is small, Si Yuan did not clear and occupy all the real wilderness. Although he could do it, there was no need to. He just wanted to rule all the base cities, not to be a nanny for humans.
When the Yunhai base city reached the other side of the world, they found that slavery had been implemented in the base city here. Ordinary people were enslaved miserably by the people with special powers. Ordinary people could not even be called human beings, but were kept in pens like two-legged sheep by those people with special powers.
Not only do they have to work for the psychics, they may even become their food.
This terrifying base city was exposed after it was captured by Yunhai Base City.
This caused resistance from many enhanced psychics who were once ordinary people. Many other psychics were also unable to accept this cannibalistic behavior, which was too cruel.
Because Si Yuan traveled through time in time, Yunhai Base City and other base cities had not had time to implement slavery, and the superpowers had not had time to enslave ordinary people. Although there were conflicts between the two sides, the conflicts were not irreconcilable.
After Si Yuan figured out a way to turn ordinary people into enhanced psychics, the last barrier between psychics and ordinary people was broken, so the two sides got along pretty well. Now seeing what happened in this hellish base city, everyone is outraged, and there are endless calls to execute all the psychics in this hellish base city.
In this regard, Si Yuan chose to obey public opinion. Those beasts really had no need to live.
So this was the only base city that was destroyed after being shot down, and the remaining innocent survivors were dispersed and arranged to live in other base cities.
Si Yuan also took the opportunity to call a meeting of all the top leaders in the base cities: "Based on this incident, I have decided to abolish slavery."
He originally wanted to be the villain boss of this world, exploiting and enslaving these superpower slaves, making them hate him and despise him so much that they would work together to overthrow him.
Unexpectedly, not only did Si Yuan not make these superpower slaves hate him, but as he ruled the major base cities, these superpower slaves gradually began to respect and worship him.
For example, Lin Zhen, Song Ming and others who originally imprinted the slave mark of "Gaonu" are no longer ashamed of the mark of "Gaonu", but proud of it.
Especially Song Ming, this lackey, who likes to show off the old mark on his jaw in front of the superpowers in the newly conquered base city, and boasts proudly: "I was the master's first slave. Even Lin Zhen can't compare to me!"
Those people with special abilities who were shown off by him were not only not disdainful or angry, but they even showed envy.
After seeing this scene with his own eyes, Si Yuan realized that he had accidentally gone astray. He, as a master, did such a good job that these slaves began to be his slaves willingly.
But if he were asked to torture people like those beasts, he couldn't do it. After all, his values were there, and he couldn't go against his inner principles and do beastly things that he hated.
So, seeing that the possibility of his being overthrown was slim, Si Yuan had no choice but to take the initiative to propose the abolition of slavery.
It just happened to be a good opportunity to use the example of the base city that had become a hell on earth this time as an excuse.
Si Yuan's words caused an uproar in the conference room. Everyone present was shocked. Slavery was abolished just like that? Or was it the world's only slave owner who took the initiative to propose abolition?
Song Ming sat at the lower left of Si Yuan. He looked at Si Yuan with an expression of disbelief and reluctance, pretending to cry: "Master, don't you want us anymore? What have we done wrong? We are willing to serve you..." Anyway, he kept expressing his loyalty over and over again.
Si Yuan interrupted Song Ming expressionlessly: "Nothing, I just think slavery is a backward system. We are about to enter a new era, and this backward system should be swept into the garbage dump of history."
These high-sounding words failed to convince the crying Song Ming.
Si Yuan was impatient: "This is my decision, who agrees and who disagrees?"
Song Ming immediately stopped crying and was the first to express his support: "The master's orders are our highest purpose. Whatever the master says is what we have to do!"
Others also said they did not dare to object.
Si Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. This kind of dictatorship was just what he wanted. He shouldn't have been so stupid as to discuss with these guys just now. He should have just given the orders directly. Who would dare to object?
Moreover, most of those people with special abilities were happy about the abolition of slavery. After all, except for those lackeys who wanted to use the master-slave relationship to get closer to Si Yuan (Song Ming is criticized specifically here), no one wanted to bear the identity of a slave forever.
So the bill abolishing slavery was passed unanimously.
