Chapter 134 - 134 117 The Giant Ratman Channel

134: Chapter 117: The Giant Ratman Channel 134: Chapter 117: The Giant Ratman Channel Sally was stunned, subconsciously wanting to refuse.

“No…”

“It’s okay,” Selita said, “It would be great if you could help.

Your voice will reach tens of millions of Ratman ears, influencing and changing the fate of countless Ratmen.

I think they would be willing to listen to your voice.”

“I need time to think about it,” Sally said quickly.

“I will give you the communication key,” Selita said in a very direct manner.

“Due to various historical reasons, we have lost contact with the Ratmen, and I hope you, as a special existence among the Ratmen, can make good use of this network radio.”

“You won a battle?” Xu Yang noticed the vehicles transporting supplies behind her.

Selita turned the camera toward the market town that had raised the red flag, her tone filled with emotion.

“Yes, we have sacrificed more than 2,000 comrades in these three days,” Selita said.

“But we succeeded in rescuing nearly 300,000 people from the company’s tyrannical rule.

We burnt down the stamp plantations and processing factories, tried over 300 criminals with heinous crimes, executed 25 debt-ridden entrepreneurs, redistributed 19 factories and 60,000 hectares of farmland, eradicated local tyrants and expanses, and expanded the collective teams.

This is the most beautiful battle we have won in nearly 30 years.”

“That must have not been easy,” Xu Yang had not expected such significant progress.

“But this is only a temporary advantage,” Selita sighed.

“We still have to take the troops back to the villages and jungles.

Stabbing such a heavy blow, we will soon begin a direct confrontation with the Peacock-Tristan Group.

Even though we mixed in by sheer size, it’s still a giant corporation and not easy to provoke.

There won’t be any more chances for casual communication like this; the next time you’ll hear about my situation will probably be in the news.”

“Understood,” Xu Yang nodded.

Without time for idle chat, Selita soon ended the communication and continued to devote herself to her vanguardist cause, leaving the key to the Ratmen broadcast to Xu Yang.

“This is truly miraculous.” Sally had not expected such people to exist in the world, doing such work.

“There’s always someone willing to hold on to ideals in the midst of absurd reality,” Xu Yang said.

“But to the company, it’s insignificant,” Sally said with concern.

“They seem to live as poorly as the Ratmen.”

“After all, comfortable people have no inclination to rebel.

Here is the key.” Xu Yang handed over the communication channel and password to Sally.

This was indeed the Ratmen broadcast channel, connecting about 140 weak-signal, remote communication terminals, half of which were on the White Elephant Continent, and the rest scattered around the world, primarily located in temperate and tropical regions.

“How does it work?” Sally was still unclear.

“It’s two-way, just like live radio broadcasting,” Xu Yang explained.

“You chat with all the Ratmen, tell them stories, and the Ratmen can also call in with their communications, asking you to solve their problems.”

“Will it really…

be useful?” Sally suddenly felt embarrassed; she had already been uncomfortable when captured by human cameras before.

“Apparently, the Ratmen aren’t interested in vanguardism.

The last time Selita used this station was four years ago,” Xu Yang checked the records.

“But as soon as you restart it, the Ratmen will spread the news from one to ten, ten to a hundred.”

“Hmm…” Sally got the hint.

“If you want to quickly improve the world’s impression of Ratmen, you should use this broadcast,” Xu Yang said.

“Reach out to more Ratmen outside of Rat Village.

They are in many cities, many sewers, in places shunned by the light.

More conflicts will arise elsewhere, and the fights will be ceaseless, as they try to seize enough living space from the humans…

but that’s impossible.

Ratmen need the guidance of correct ideals; otherwise, they are just robbers and thugs, meaningless.”

“…” Sally fell into deep thought.

“Those damp, sickly old Rats, those longing for hope,” Xu Yang said firmly.

“You can bring them hope, with your words and guidance, to bring them positive power, to spread the right ideals.”

“I understand.” Sally suddenly felt extremely excited, her body trembling slightly.

Ratmen were fooled, ignored, pitiful like clowns; they needed guidance.

Sally knew humans would follow every word and action of Suzukawa Kiyo, witches would believe in the new power brought by Farosa, so the Ratmen should follow Sally and listen to her words.

To carve a path for the Ratmen.

Sally clenched her fists.

“There is no signal in Rat Village, but there is one here,” Xu Yang said.

“If you’re truly ready, come to the industrial park; there should be a vacant room for you to use as a dedicated radio room.”

“Thank you,” Sally thanked Xu Yang earnestly.

“There’s more to thank me for,” Xu Yang told Sally about the mysterious foliage.

“Once we get it from Sun Biotech, we can change the landscape around here.

Not only can we conduct plant experiments, but the food output of Rat Village can also increase.”

On hearing this, Sally’s heart brimmed with gratitude, but regretfully, as different species, they could only find other ways to repay the kindness.

“Give…

this to you.” Sally pulled out a black box about half the size of a palm from under her clothes, looking like an extremely rudimentary communicator, with only a few buttons on it.

“This is…” Xu Yang accepted the electronic device, which was so crudely made that it was hard to guess its actual use, “…what is this?”

“Ratman Communicator,” Sally said.

“It is our most important prop.

With it, we can get all the information from the Ratmen and learn the locations of nearby contacts.

We have dedicated Ratmen shadowing every nook and cranny of Aizu City, and they will only show themselves with the Communicator.

The contacts are all clever gray and white rats that are good at understanding human speech and can reveal all the secrets nearby.”

“Guan Wancang has never mentioned this,” Xu Yang said.

“He is the leader of the contacts, very shrewd and doesn’t fully trust you yet, but I think you are our friend!” Sally explained.

“With this, communication with Wancang becomes much easier.

Plus, with the contacts spread throughout Aizu City, no matter what special events occur anywhere, you will be the first to know.”

“I will make good use of it, thank you,” Xu Yang nodded.

This was going to be very convenient.

The greatest advantage of the Ratmen was their Rat Paths in Aizu City.

Having the Ratman Communicator meant having access to the Ratmen’s source of information.

Xu Yang examined the Communicator again.

It was cheap and simple, so replicating it in the industrial park would be easy.

When the time came, he planned to give one to each dispatched member of Nestor Corporation so that they wouldn’t be operating in the dark in Aizu City and could easily get help from the Ratmen.

Sally finally thanked Xu Yang deeply, then set off to leave, planning to prepare the script for the upcoming Rat Clan broadcast.

In her heart, a flame of desire for change was lit.

Living at the very bottom, the Ratmen faced threats to their lives at every moment.

Sally wanted to change all that, to resolve the meaningless struggles between Ratmen and humans, to guide them in growth, to help them find their way.

In the past, it was the Ratmen who had carried her to see the bright sky.

Now, it was her turn to carry the fate of the entire Rat Clan on her shoulders.

“She didn’t get a chance to drink her coffee,” Lila said as she placed the brewed coffee in front of Xu Yang.

“Give it to me,” Farosa said, appearing to have visited at some point, her demeanor extremely relaxed, seemingly having everything under control, which oddly enough imparted a certain friendly feeling.

“There’s a reason Sally doesn’t join your side,” Xu Yang started to explain Sally’s story to Farosa.

“You like to use the Old Ratmen, don’t you,” Farosa remarked.

“Hmm?”

“As Sally admires you so much,” Farosa said, “in the future, when she really uses the communicator to connect with various Rat Clans, becoming their sovereign, you will effectively have control over the potential of an entire species, with tens of millions of laborers and soldiers at your command—it won’t be simple.”

“I never said that,” Xu Yang shook his head, “and the key was given by Selita.

She should thank Selita.”

“That person is six or seven thousand kilometers away in White Elephant Continent,” Farosa said.

“Is she going to fly over to pledge allegiance?”

Xu Yang said nothing more, as he had always been indifferent to others’ opinions.

“Efficiency above all,” Farosa looked at Xu Yang’s face, “a thirst for progress, for output, striving to maximize the use of resources at hand, to make them proliferate, and to benefit from every aspect.

You are also trying to expand her influence, not to be confined to this dark underground, nor to limit herself to mere Rat Villages.”

“Perhaps it’s the result of company training, clear differentiation of interests,” Xu Yang said.

“However, the biggest issue is her addiction,” Lila mentioned.

“Once Sally has an episode during a broadcast, her short career on the radio will come to an end.”

“We can only trust that she will have self-control,” Xu Yang thought for a moment, “and since she’s broadcasting to the Rat Clans on our turf, if there’s any problem, we can intervene.”

“Rat Clans after all have a dark nature,” Farosa stated, “and if Sally starts interacting with different Rat Clans at the same time, won’t it be like live broadcasting?

She will be assimilated, eroded, and the flow of information from around the world can quickly change a person’s thinking.”

She herself was a case in point, having seen too much complex information, her thought patterns started changing.

“Even if it’s not now, she will encounter it eventually,” Xu Yang said.

“The outside world is too vast.”

This is human “Magic Power.” Farosa mused to herself.

Humans seem to gain their edge through social relations and connections.

As Sally linked countless rats, Xu Yang linked not only to Sally but also to Farosa and Lila.

It was these inseparable social bonds that made their resources Xu Yang’s to command.

In the future, when analyzing major events that changed the course of history, it would all invariably be traced back to Xu Yang.

Farosa couldn’t leave Xu Yang largely because she had too many special needs, needs that only Xu Yang could satisfy, both physically and emotionally.

Xu Yang’s gaze shifted, looking out at the industrial park.

After the drainage was complete, a large number of sound barriers were erected and new coatings applied, all to minimize the impact of industrial machinery noise and keep things orderly.

His own domain…

was indeed not bad.

“Stop looking around; look at me,” Farosa leaned toward Xu Yang, quick in her actions, ready to satisfy her craving and enjoy the moment.
