Chapter 298 City of Hope? City of Migrant Workers!
Tony turned to look at Moonblade with surprise, not understanding why he would think that way.
However, after looking at the black original skin under the white battle suit of Moonlight Blade, I felt relieved.
That's true; the ancestors of Moonblade might have been picking cotton on plantations a few generations ago, so it's understandable that they would think that way...
Is this the awakening of the ancestral genes?
Therefore, Toby shrugged, not denying it directly, but instead offering a different perspective:
"I prefer to call this 'working class,' after all, times are changing, slavery is no longer relevant, and people have now developed better systems..."
"Under this system, the upper class doesn't need to exert themselves by enslaving others, but the lower class will voluntarily work twice as hard for the upper class in order to live a better life, for their families, and for a place to live!"
"So don't worry, this is absolutely not enslavement, and you are not my slaves. You are free. You are free to choose to stay in this safe city where you lack nothing and work as if it were the end of the world, or you can choose... to try your luck in the zombie world outside?"
Upon hearing this, Moonlight Blade fell silent.
Because what seems like a free choice is actually a single-choice question that could lead to certain death!
Especially after experiencing the zombie apocalypse, Moonblade believes that no one would be foolish enough to choose the second, death-defying option!
Toby patted the silent Moonlight Blade on the shoulder and said meaningfully:
"And you, Eric, are the first lord of this city I have chosen, the city that represents humanity's last hope. I want you to manage it well for me, but not for me, but for the sake of the few remaining survivors on Earth..."
Moonlight Blade sighed after hearing this.
He knew that he was just like those confused people below him, with absolutely no choice...
Just as Toby said, even if not for himself, he needed to think about these survivors.
Therefore, he compromised:
"What do you need us to do for you?"
Seeing that Moonblade had implicitly agreed, Toby smiled and snapped his fingers.
Snap—
The next moment, a huge blue meteorite appeared out of thin air on a vacant lot he had reserved in the city center.
Toby looked at the meteorite that faintly emitted a blue light and said calmly:
"Although the vibranium meteorite in Wakanda was unfortunately destroyed in the explosion of the Infinity Stones, it was quite a waste..."
"But thankfully, there's more than one vibranium meteorite in the world, besides the one in Wakanda; there's another one in the ocean!"
"And all of you have only one task: to help me mine this vibranium meteorite, which is enough to revolutionize the technology tree of an entire world, and then, according to my orders, manufacture various finished products and transport them into my world!"
Hearing this, Moonblade understood: "You want to turn this place into the factory of your world!"
Toby pointed to the Earth beneath his feet, his eyes shining brightly: "Eric, you know what? I've actually had a 'little' dream since I was little..."
"That was to establish my own Parker Industries, and when this dream was easily realized in my world, it quietly swelled within me!"
"What I want now is for my Parker Industries to be spread across countless Earths in the multiverse!"
"Whether in the normal world or the post-apocalyptic world, I don't want to miss any opportunity. In the normal world, I can sell products and generate profits, and in the post-apocalyptic world, I can also use it to manufacture products!"
"High-priced products and low manufacturing costs will create a perfect industrial chain for Parker Industries!"
After recounting his "little dream," Toby glanced at Moonblade, a capitalist smile playing on his lips.
"And my payment for letting you live, and providing you with the necessities to survive in this post-apocalyptic world, will be that!"
"How about that? Pretty fair, right?"
"Oh, and tell them that the year-end bonus for working for me is to select one hundred outstanding employees each year to enter the New World. These one hundred outstanding employees will be able to bring their families and have citizenship in a New World without zombies!"
Upon hearing this, Moonblade's body trembled, and he abruptly turned his head to stare intently at Toby, as if he could already see the city's predetermined future!
Citizenship in the New World!
With just this one sentence, people will definitely work their hardest for Toby, just like he said, for a better life and for their families!
terrible!
so horrible!
This guy is not only incredibly strong, but he can also manipulate people's hearts with ease!
Even though he was aware of this, Moonblade had no choice but to accept it.
As I said before, he was powerless to change anything...
Moreover, although these conditions are a violation of human rights before the end of the world, it is the end of the world, so what about human rights?
Stop joking! Being able to survive in a safe city by your own labor is already an incredible blessing!
Then, Toby, with Moonblade in hand, gathered all the survivors in the city in the center of the large plaza in front of the vibranium meteorite and took control of their exciting "good news"!
Upon hearing that they were about to become employees of Parker Industries in this world, everyone was initially surprised!
But when they heard that food and lodging would be provided, and that they would have the opportunity to go to the new world, everyone got excited!
Aside from a small number of die-hards who objected, feeling it disrespected their human rights, most of the rational survivors had no objection and were filled with longing for the new world Toby described!
As for those reckless opponents, Toby didn't hesitate to teleport them back to the post-apocalyptic world outside.
In this apocalyptic world, if you don't want to do it, then get out; there are plenty of survivors who are willing to do it!
This left the troublemakers, who had initially intended to gain greater benefits for themselves, completely bewildered.
That's not right. Shouldn't we discuss things first, then bargain with each other, and finally shake hands and make peace when both sides are satisfied?
Why were they kicked out of the 'room' without a word?
And these people have not only been kicked out now, but even if they want to come back in the future, it will be impossible!
Because this city only allows people to leave and not enter, those who are expelled by Toby have permanently lost their right to stay in this only sanctuary!
Toby's swift and decisive actions immediately subdued the wavering survivors, who dared not provoke him any further.
