Chapter 335: Chapter 142 Chromium Carbon Town

Chromium Carbon Town is located to the east of Starfire Town, with a straight-line distance of 1500 kilometers between the two towns.

Unlike Starfire Town, which is situated in a desolate and remote area, Chromium Carbon Town is located in a relatively prosperous central region.

It spans an area of just over ten thousand square kilometers, only about one-fifth the size of Starfire Town, but its gross economic output is more than twenty times that of Starfire Town.

Only 120 kilometers away from it is a bustling county town with a total population of one million people.

Chromium Carbon Town, along with seven other small towns, forms a star-shaped encirclement around the county town.

As an emerging large town built in the last twenty years, Chromium Carbon Town has a population exceeding one hundred thousand.

It is built on a massive deposit of carbon-chromium ore.

The pillar industry of Chromium Carbon Town is not simply ruined beast hunting.

It is a gigantic industrial complex integrating various industries such as mining, smelting, and rough processing.

Its scale is comparable to a small county town, rivaling the glory days of Nameless City in Bone Valley back then, but with much higher economic, productivity, and population quality.

In a way, today’s Chromium Carbon Town is equivalent to what Morning Glory Town will be in twenty years.

Yang Bingzhong’s destination is precisely Chromium Carbon Town.

The airship will arrive in one and a half hours.

As for the ground convoy led by Ren Zhong, it will undergo nearly ten hours of long-distance travel, traversing mountains and ruins beast gathering areas, arriving outside Chromium Carbon Town at eleven thirty at night.

The ground convoy is composed of a total of eight trucks, including Ren Zhong’s two Qingfeng Heavy Trucks, four from Tang Shuying and Jiang Kai’s teams, and two more belonging to Yang Bingzhong.

The escort of the entire convoy is handled by three professional teams; Yang Bingzhong did not dispatch hired mercenaries for the escort task.

The drivers of the two Qingfeng Heavy Trucks inserted by Yang Bingzhong are Demolition Masters from Tang Shuying and Jiang Kai’s teams.

At Yang Bingzhong’s request, all eight vehicles underwent rapid modifications; aside from slight differences in the chassis armor, they appear almost identical.

In fact, all eight vehicles could be transported in the airship and leave together, but Yang Bingzhong arranged it this way, indicating another purpose.

Ren Zhong did not inquire further, nor did he even ask about the cargo in the convoy.

This is the act of a wise person.

As a commander, Ren Zhong’s task is simple: to lead the convoy to safely and punctually arrive outside Chromium Carbon Town and hand over the two Qingfeng Heavy Trucks belonging to Yang Bingzhong to the contact, who might be Yang Bingzhong or someone else.

Five days ago, the originally planned commander might have been Lin Wang, but Lin Wang later died.

Before this afternoon, the intended commander might have been Tang Shuying, but Ren Zhong gained a deeper level of trust from Yang Bingzhong through a perfectly executed melodramatic act.

As a "top-level scumbag," he came from behind, winning Yang Bingzhong’s attention through his acting skills and intelligence and was subsequently deemed the better commander.

Otherwise, Ren Zhong would more likely have left with Yang Bingzhong on the airship.

In that case, he would not have known about this ground team.

When assigning the task, Yang Bingzhong did not say much; he only carefully analyzed the ruins beast distribution marked in the intel along the route with Ren Zhong, letting him formulate several combat plans for different simulated scenarios, testing Ren Zhong’s capabilities.

Ren Zhong responded fluently to all.

In the past, he managed to lead a semi-professional team to annihilate a Level Four Ruined Beast, not solely relying on luck.

Yang Bingzhong was very satisfied and eventually changed his mind, arranging some additional considerations along the way before finalizing the matter.

Tang Shuying and Jiang Kai raised no objections.

In Starfire Resources, the only one who could be considered a thorn and dared to raise minor objections to Yang Bingzhong’s decisions was Lin Wang.

As Ren Zhong gave the order, the convoy of eight Qingfeng Heavy Trucks grandly drove into the mountains, heading eastward.

About half an hour later, the convoy stopped, with Tang Shuying and Jiang Kai leading their teams, totaling eight members, bursting out in a fierce battle at the valley’s exit upfront.

Ten minutes later, Ren Zhong, stationed at the rear, received notification that the front had been cleared, and with a wave of his hand, the convoy continued moving forward.

At the very front of the convoy, Ren Zhong, Tang Shuying, and Jiang Kai were riding floating motorboats side by side.

Jiang Kai questioned, "Actually, we could lift the floating height appropriately to quickly pass through the ruins beast area we just encountered. Why aren’t we doing that?"

Ren Zhong shook his head, "President Yang instructed that the convoy’s floating height should not exceed ten meters. Jiang Kai, you shouldn’t ask; my arrangements must have President Yang’s reasons."
