Resurrection Empire

Hiss!

What kind of damned talent is this!

Shi Xuan and his son were dumbfounded, unable to speak for a long time.

It wasn't until the two of them led Ren Zhong into the residential area and walked for a few minutes that they slightly recovered.

The desolate street of the narrow path was empty, only occasionally crossed by armed Night Watchman Guardians. As these people passed by Shi Xuan and his son, they all bowed their heads respectfully in salutation.

The Night Watchman Guardians here were not particularly robust, some even appeared emaciated.

Yet, strangely, their eyes were full of spirit, completely different from the majority of people in Starfire Town who seemed dazed and spiritless.

Ren Zhong roughly knew the reason.

The environment of the wasteland tribe was harsher and more dangerous than the town slums.

The people here led lives that were one disaster away from complete annihilation.

But precisely because of this, most people here were very driven, as the weak and the lazy had already been weeded out in this environment.

Those who could live here, or who relied on their own abilities to cross unknown distances and traverse the Ruined Beast region to arrive here, were in a sense individuals who once briefly controlled their fate.

Just like his and Ma Dafu's judgment of the future of the wasteland people of Starfire Town back then.

If the wasteland people of Starfire Town ended up with only one in ten surviving, or even just one in ten, those who lived to the end would almost certainly only be the resilient and those with great fortune.

It's as if he sensed the curiosity in Ren Zhong's eyes, Shi Xuan suddenly and somewhat senselessly said, "Back when I left the town with the wasteland people, there were actually nearly thirty thousand of them. Only a thousand strong young men ended up alive here at last."

"In these years, the temporary wasteland people, eliminated by various towns, or survivors from other destroyed tribes also trickled in, are generally in their prime. Almost everyone who arrives here has a past too painful to recall and is very tenacious."

Ren Zhong was silent for a moment, "I understand."

The two went inside the house.

Shi Xuan was once again straightforward, "Now, Mr. Ren, can you tell me your purpose?"

Ren Zhong nodded, "Mr. Shi, you should have heard about the upcoming abolition of Starfire Town, right?"

"Yes, Boss Wang told me about it."

"Although I'm currently favored by Yang Bingzhong, the boss of Starfire Resources, I'm not on his side. I want to save twenty thousand wasteland people in Starfire Town."

Shi Xuan was initially stunned, then shook his head, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't help you. We're struggling to survive ourselves. The Underground City here can only accommodate two thousand more people at most, and doing so risks attracting the Hunters. Mr. Ren, you should know about the existence of the net; our struggle for survival here is merely tolerated by the net. When our population exceeds ten thousand, it may not be safe anymore."

Ren Zhong shook his head, "Brother Wang probably hasn't told you yet, my rescue isn't about finding a new way out for the wasteland people of Starfire Town. I plan to reverse fate. This reversal of fate means I will end the Pu Cha on my own capability. Then, the Mayor, Ma Dafu, and I will find a way to quickly increase the temporary wasteland people quotas for Starfire Town. Your seven thousand wasteland people here can move into Starfire Town. Well, the new Starfire Town."

A brilliant light flashed in Shi Xuan's eyes.

After a long time, he shook his head, "This is meaningless. We'd rather live here, more freely. Citizens don't understand the pain of wasteland people. In the eyes of citizens, wasteland people are worthless. Entering the town will only make us a burden. Even under the town's protection temporarily, we'll just be in line to die. When the Medical Company needs guinea pigs, wasteland people, even those with temporary wrist watches, are forced to become test subjects."

Ren Zhong smiled, "Are you willing to stay here and face the threat of Hunter's slaughter at any moment? Even if there's no report, you can't hide your supply flow. Qi Mountain Tribe has existed for twelve years, but according to usual patterns, it can't exist much longer. Also, Mr. Shi, do you want to know why I want to kill Lin Wang?"

Shi Xuan asked puzzledly, "Isn't it to replace him?"

Ren Zhong laughed heartily and took out a tablet computer to show Shi Xuan his stock account.

Shi Xuan and Shi Lin's eyes turned red instantly.

"I can even possess citizen identity. I have money and a promising future. Why would I covet the identity of a mere professional team leader?"

Shi Xuan's face was full of confusion, "Then, why?"

"Because he wreaks havoc in Starfire Town! Unforgivable! In recent years, Starfire Town has been declining repeatedly; Yang Bingzhong is the chief culprit, and Lin Wang is the number one accomplice."

Ren Zhong spoke forcefully.

"I don't believe it! I don't believe there is such a citizen in the world!"

Shi Xuan stood up abruptly, angrily pointing at Ren Zhong.

Ren Zhong raised his head to look at him and asked back, "Well then, Mr. Shi, you're also not bad in strength and used to be a citizen. You could have chosen any town to depend on and lived a stable life. Why run a precarious wasteland tribe here? I also hardly believe there could be a Fourth Level professional like you."

Shi Xuan fell silent.

Ren Zhong had a confident smile on his face.

He sensed a kindred spirit in the other person.

He was now madly, boldly probing.

He did not fear probing wrongly.

After a long while, Shi Xuan sat down slowly and asked again, "So, Mr. Ren, what's your actual intention? How do you plan to achieve it? Bribe the Pu Cha officials? That's impossible; no amount of money can change the rules."

Ren Zhong shook his head, "I naturally have my ways. The current focus is whether you, Mr. Shi, trust me and are willing to find a new way out for the Qi Mountain Tribe."

Suddenly Shi Xuan said, "I once killed a citizen."

Ren Zhong: "Hmm?"

"For the same reason as you, Mr. Ren. In fact, before escaping, I was a Guard Captain. The night the Ruined Beasts attacked the city, I killed the Mayor who granted me citizen identity."

Few words, significant matter.

Ren Zhong was also quite startled.

Subsequently, Ren Zhong even forgot his original intention for today and asked with great interest, "Teach me, how did you manage to kill a citizen and evade tracking by the net, getting away with it? I'll give you a million!"

"There's nothing reproducible. It was a series of fortunate coincidences."

Ren Zhong laughed, "I'm best at creating coincidences."

"Perhaps wait until Mr. Ren can access citizens of the Information Flow Shield Master and hacker professions. I won't be of any relevance now."

Ren Zhong's eyes lit up.

Though they were just two new profession names he had never heard before, like the War Artist before, he got the information he wanted.
