The rumors that all nine towns would fall were spread by Ou Youning, who also secretly arranged for large amounts of wakefulness potion, produced by Ren's Biological Laboratory, to be sent to each town.
This was particularly severe in Wangdong Town, which had just been defeated by Zheng Tian's forces.
By early dawn, Zheng Tian led a well-rested twenty-eight thousand-strong Starfire Army, leaving two thousand to guard their resting comrades.
By 6:30 AM, the Starfire Army appeared at the walls of Wangdong Town.
Inside Wangdong Town, the oppression had not yet ceased.
Upon Zheng Tian's arrival, they began using loudspeakers to openly incite the vagrants of Wangdong Town.
Dozens of informants swiftly revolted, leading over a thousand incited vagrants to seize control of the newly installed city defense cannon in no time.
Simultaneously, beneath the west gate of Wangdong Town, a huge spiral drilling machine emerged from the ground.
Hundreds of elite Starfire Soldiers jumped out, using powerful rockets to bombard the alloy doors of the high walls, melting them from close range.
Afterward, Bai Feng and Jiang Kai, two Fifth Level Professionals, led a charge.
The Starfire Army swept through Wangdong Town, surrounding the Wangdong Resource Headquarters within five minutes.
From this point on, Wangdong Resources raised the white flag in surrender.
Meanwhile, Ren Zhong and others had just gathered at Huo Donghua's villa to watch the battle.
In this luxurious villa, others were stunned by the overnight changes in the battle situation.
Ren Zhong was somewhat surprised as well.
In the previous timeline, Zheng Tian capturing Wangdong Town happened later that evening.
But this time, the event occurred at 6:45 AM, half a day in advance.
Huo Donghua pondered for a moment and slowly said, "Mr. Ren is truly remarkable."
Qian Wangshen added, "I originally thought the advantage of Starfire Town's soldiers lay in their equipment. Now I understand, the decisive factor is the people's morale."
Ren Zhong replied confidently with a smile, "That's why I say my soldiers are different. I have enslaved and controlled their hearts."
Hua Yuelan responded, "Yes."
Although everyone spoke these words, deep down they knew that others had different thoughts.
Ren Zhong had completely transformed the worldviews of the vagrants under him.
If Ren Zhong were truly an "Exploiter," he would be monstrous.
But if Ren Zhong were a Revolutionary, he would be radiating the light of a revolutionary spark.
Just then, Ren Zhong's expression suddenly changed slightly.
He quickly stood up, striding toward a corner of the living room, saying, "Excuse me, everyone, I need to use the restroom."
Sun Ai had contacted him.
