Chapter 337: Chapter 142 Chromium Carbon Town_3

Jiang Kai shook his head, gloomily saying, "That’s not necessarily true. I’m different from you two. It won’t be long before a Level Five Professional will come to the company to join us. I can only take it one step at a time."

The three of them fell into an inexplicable silence once more.

Ren Zhong found an excuse, merely saying that he needed to monitor the radar to guard against a Ruined Beast attack, bid the two farewell, and returned to the Qingfeng Heavy Truck.

He began to think and found the answer.

Yang Bingzhong employed a simple and straightforward strategy of concealing his true intentions while feigning open actions.

There was definitely something shady in the convoy.

That was the true core of the migration!

Everything else was just a facade!

He looked back at the distance once more.

Starfire Town was already behind the mountains.

In a way, he felt quite grateful for the lie Yang Bingzhong told to calm the worried townsfolk before leaving.

It at least left the people of Starfire Town with half a life and a month’s worth of peace.

Of course, without the resource recycling company, things would become somewhat chaotic, but people could still cling to some intangible hope.

Ren Zhong was powerless to change this.

He currently had four million in his pocket, which seemed substantial.

Spending his own money to buy the Crystal Chips and carcasses hunted by others could sustain Starfire Town for about two years.

But it was meaningless and couldn’t pass the Pu Cha.

Senseless kindness would only drag down his progress, akin to committing a greater evil by betraying his ideals for selfish goodwill.

Moreover, Ren Zhong still had many regrets in his heart.

Ju Qingmeng was still in Starfire Town.

Yujin didn’t follow him either.

That was Ren Zhong’s decision.

He didn’t want to make things difficult for Yujin.

He could come up with barely acceptable reasons to take Zheng Tian’s team with him.

But taking Yujin’s mother was just ridiculous.

So, Ren Zhong voluntarily suggested Yujin stay in Starfire Town as his informant, reporting the situation in the town to him at any time.

Yujin’s mother thought Ren Zhong was giving up on Yujin because of her presence and was prepared to cut her own neck to force Yujin to leave with Ren Zhong, or to plead for Yujin to leave with Ren Zhong.

Ren Zhong learned about Yujin’s predicament from an accidental encounter with Wen Lei and visited many times to promise that Yujin’s task in Starfire Town was important and he had already entrusted the Second Level Citizen Ju Qingmeng to make proper arrangements for him, which eventually calmed her down.

It’s human nature, and there’s nothing wrong with it. She had no intention of moral coercion and didn’t even let Ren Zhong know. Like a tigress angrily driving away a cub close to adulthood, this is the law of life on Source Star.

At eleven-thirty at night, the convoy successfully reached Chromium Carbon Town.

The deep dark night was illuminated by the incomplete double moons, with enormous chimney forests towering like clouds throughout the town.

Even late at night, billowing smoke could be seen pouring into the sky.

A large number of Flying Devices, like long trains, rose in succession from the edges of Chromium Carbon Town and flew to a huge iron fortress suspended in the air, disappearing into the left side of the fortress.

At the same time, on the right side of the iron fortress, there were also successions of long trains descending diagonally, landing like planes at a slightly faster speed.

As the group neared the precisely marked location on the map, the iron fortress was slowly rising and moving away into the distance.

Another fortress floated in from afar to take over the former’s task.

From several kilometers away, Ren Zhong could smell a strong scent of smoke.

Compared to Starfire Town, which turned pitch black after ten o’clock, Ren Zhong could immediately sense these were two completely different small towns at first glance.

It seemed bustling and lively, like a city that never sleeps.

But Ren Zhong knew that these were all massive unmanned machines at work.

This scene revealed the terrifying productivity on Source Star in an instant, negating the significance of low-level human labor entirely.

It was exactly like the speculations he always had in his heart.

...

Yang Bingzhong was waiting alone in the Spider Tank at the appointed meeting place, behind a small hill.

Seeing eight vehicles arrive on time, he exhaled deeply, stepped forward, and greeted, "Very good, you all arrived on time. Well done."

Ren Zhong stood up straight, "Thank you for your praise, Mr. Yang."

Yang Bingzhong chuckled, "Alright, Ren Zhong, give me your car keys, you and your team will take the other heavy trucks into town and get some rest, I’ve already arranged everything."

"Okay!"

It turned out that during a simple renovation, Yang Bingzhong had secretly loaded things into Ren Zhong’s car.

This showed both Yang Bingzhong’s caution and his immense trust in Ren Zhong at that time.

The ten-year long contract with top restriction authority was not just a casual statement.

Upon entering the town by vehicle, Ren Zhong immediately felt the oncoming post-modern industrial atmosphere.

The town was divided into three levels in a three-dimensional manner.

At the top, various large machines moved silently back and forth, transporting unknown materials.

The mid-level swarmed with numerous medium and small machines, moving quickly and orderly like ants.

As for the bottom level, it was a mix of houses of varying heights.

On the streets, a large number of automatic patrol robots, emitting sizzling sounds, shuttled back and forth.

There were also a few Night Watchmen, clad in Armor and Biochemical Combat Suits, strolling casually.

The energy reaction detector in Ren Zhong’s Armor indicated that among these Night Watchmen, the lowest level was a Second Level Professional.

Compared to Starfire Town, under the same blue sky, both were towns, only fifteen hundred kilometers apart, yet worlds apart.

One was almost in the nineteenth century, the other in the twenty-second century.
