Chapter 356: Chapter 148 Embracing Life Through Death

Ten minutes later, Ren Zhong arrived at the Military Weapon Store.

Ju Qingmeng had already been waiting.

Her small laboratory was filled with three large boxes.

The boxes were packed with the hard goods delivered by Wang Zhaofu last night, valued at 3.2 million points worth of exoskeleton modification parts.

Ren Zhong only paid Wang Zhaofu 2.95 million and still owed 250,000 for the goods.

He had no choice; he was completely out of money.

Starting from day 67, he entered the VIP area of the training ground once a day with Ma Xiaoling.

Each person costs 100,000 points for four hours, and with both of them entering, it became 200,000 points.

This alone cost him a total of 1.2 million points.

During these six days, Ren Zhong also had some small and scattered income, such as dividends from his business in Starfire Town, 300 points earned from sleep each day, wages from his second-level title, etc.

However, he didn’t keep a single point of his share from the professional team commission in Chromium Carbon Town, distributing it all to Zheng Tian’s squad of five, totaling 26,880 points.

This money was a drop in the bucket for him but a considerable fortune for the others in the team.

After staying in Chromium Carbon Town for less than ten days, Zheng Tian and the others had already upgraded their equipment again.

Moreover, they could finally confidently walk into the advanced areas of various professional training grounds without having to count pennies to get by.

Pushing open the small laboratory door, Ju Qingmeng put down the parameter manual in front of her and smiled, "Back?"

"Yeah, I’m back."

"Time is tight, so let’s get started."

"Thank you."

"You’re always so polite, it makes us seem distant."

"Ah, sorry."

"Never mind, I’m used to it." Ju Qingmeng shrugged, stood up, and helped Ren Zhong take off his exoskeleton armor piece by piece.

Meanwhile, she said, "There’s only two days left, the task is challenging."

"Can it be completed?"

Ju Qingmeng blinked, "If it were someone else, I wouldn’t agree without ten days or half a month. If it’s you, normally I’d take five days. But now..."

"What’s different now?"

"There aren’t many people hunting in the town now. I’m quite free, I can work fifteen and a half hours a day. I can do it."

Ren Zhong remained silent for a long time.

In the end, he couldn’t hold back, "Thank you, it’s been hard on you."

No need to say everything out loud.

With different motives, both awaiting death at different times, they understood each other tacitly.

...

Day 75, early morning.

The Bone Valley was shrouded in thick fog.

In the distance, the blue sun was slowly rising.

It was just 6:30 a.m.

The long night was dying, dawn was breaking.

A mighty crowd appeared at the mouth of Bone Valley.

Ren Zhong, wearing Blue Armor and holding the unactivated Flame-cutting Giant Blade in his right hand, stood proudly at the forefront of the crowd, riding a Floating Motorboat.

Behind him were Yujin, Zheng Tian, Wen Lei, Ou Youning, Bai Feng, and Chen Hanyu, each with their arms crossed holding the formidable Tooth Sniper.

The seven of them formed a sharp triangular arrowhead.

Behind the seven were the remaining fourteen semi-professional teams from Starfire Town.

These teams had been ruthlessly abandoned but had now become Ren Zhong’s followers.

At the back of the semi-professional team’s formation were more than 3,700 Scavengers from Starfire Town, showing excitement on their faces.

Ren Zhong was already familiar enough with Source Star.

He didn’t use broad reasoning to persuade these Scavengers to risk their lives for him.

He simply stood up yesterday, told a lie, and made a real promise.

First, he told the Scavengers that Yang Bingzhong’s successor resource recovery company in Starfire Town would be in place tomorrow.

Second, he also said that today he would personally lead the team to explore Bone Valley, concentrating on annihilating the Third Level and Level Four Ruined Beasts inside. The Scavengers participating in today’s group hunting event could receive a share of the profits from the Second Level and Third Level Ruined Beasts, based on the number of First and Second Level Ruined Beasts they hunted. All the Scavengers in Starfire Town could follow behind him to beg, and he wouldn’t take any commission.

As a result, everyone in Starfire Town with a bit of fighting ability came.

Fighting for themselves was the strongest reason for the people at the bottom in a chaotic world to draw their swords.

Even knowing that there might be a Descending Demon Baby in Bone Valley didn’t stop them, as the opportunity to change fate and soar into the sky still lured the Scavengers to flock, like moths to a flame.

After all, many people successfully escaped when the Descending Demon Baby reappeared nearly two months ago. Even if it was provoked again this time, with so many people gathered, there was certainly still a chance to escape, making it worth the risk.

This was the thought of ordinary people.
