Chapter 125 - In the name of survival (1/2)

”People will think that old Bruce died of a heart attack, because he shouldn't have drunk so much alcohol. His heart, which is about to go to waste, can't bear such an intense stimulation.” It was as if she were talking about something that had nothing to do with her.

”Do as you say, Pera, and do it well!”

”As you command, boss!”

Pella quietly backed away, and Theon's fingers moved quickly across the computer's light screen. Another already designed program immediately replaced the original system, in which Theon had the highest priority. As such, the documents that were rejected previously were immediately approved by Sean himself.

Shane had always had the ambition to replace Bruce, but he didn't do it. For one thing, it wasn't necessary, and for another, Old Bruce sometimes helped Sean out of some minor trouble. But now it was different. Remter was going to be an efficient machine, and Sheehan would not allow old parts like Bruce to interfere with the operation of the machine.

From today onwards, he would firmly grasp the power in his hands, even if the price was endless blood!

There was no hesitation in Shane's eyes. No one who hesitated could accomplish anything important, just like Old Bruce. The end result for such a person was to be eliminated by the times, turning into a corpse in one's own residence.

In this respect, he felt that he and Zero were the same kind of person. As long as they decided to do something, they wouldn't spare any effort to accomplish it.

Theon walked to the office window, his steaming cup in his hand, and faced north.

”To us!”

Sean said quietly.

Today was bound to be an extraordinary day for Remus.

At noon, Big Bruce was found dead in his bedroom by a servant. The strong smell of alcohol in the bedroom and a few empty bottles had explained the cause of Bruce's death. After the doctor's confirmation, there was still a lot of alcohol left in Bruce's body. There had to be a good reason for his sudden heart attack, and although some of the union representatives who had been friends with Bruce were suspicious, the sudden increase in patrolling in Remt had dissuaded them from questioning.

On the same day, Theon convened a meeting of union representatives. Under the watchful eyes of the Cobra Army and a group of armed men, Theon quickly took the chair of the trade union with an overwhelming number of votes.

It didn't matter if they were on Shane's side before or if they were on the opposite side. In the series of measures that followed Seth's publication, they all began to realize that Remter was going to make a big move. The new base city would soon start to move like a wheel, and the resources and wealth would be poured into Shane's plan.

It was foreseeable that Remter would usher in a period of rapid development. As for Remus, who was in a frenzied state, it was unknown whether he was a new student welcoming his transformation or a hell of destruction.

Even Seth didn't know!

He only knew that when Zero came out of Death Ridge, Remter would show the world a whole new side.

Zero is now walking through the jungle like a tropical rain forest.

After leaving Phoenix City, they passed by a short and steep mountain path. That evening, he and Monnie officially entered the God of Death Ridge, which was known as the Forbidden Land of Life.

However, he didn't expect that mountains that could make people tremble in fear like the forbidden lands, terrors, and deaths would actually be filled with an astonishing amount of vitality. Unlike the desolate wilderness, the Death Reaper Ridge was filled with lush vegetation. The two of them walked into the border region and saw many plants that had only appeared in the old era and were now extinct.

However, regardless of whether it was the short shrubs or the tall trees with bright fruits, the vitality of these plants were simply too strong. It was so thick that it was as if people were alive.

This was a mountain that was still alive.

Zero made this evaluation of the Death God Ridge.

But the name of Death's Ridge was not undeserved. The terror of this mountain lay in the death you could not see. He hadn't encountered any powerful mutated beasts yet, but they were like shrubs with sawteeth sprouting from their leaves, man-eating trees with roots that could leave the ground and burrow into their prey's body to draw blood and devour their flesh, or tiny green grasses that looked weak but could easily cut through the human body... The various plants here were all filled with desire for blood and flesh, like hungry beasts.
