Chapter 365: Chapter 150 Dominoes_3

Ren Zhong shook his head, "Having money means nothing if you can’t live to spend it."

"This is all the money I have!"

"I can’t earn that money, sorry."

Ren Zhong shook his head again, turned the vehicle around, and made a move to leave.

"House number 144, Alley 7, South District slums is my secret residence! I have something in the basement there! Once you have it, even if Mr. Yang doesn’t fully obey you, the treatment you receive won’t be worse than mine! This secret is at least worth a million!"

She didn’t use the squad communication system for this announcement but shouted it with her mouth.

At this distance, Ren Zhong could hear her clearly.

Ren Zhong moved a bit closer and replied with skepticism, also verbally, "How do I know what you’re saying is true? And where’s the money?"

Bang!

Si Mawan transferred him 300,000 post-tax points, "Save me! Now do you believe me? I’ve already transferred you the money! What I said is true!"

Ren Zhong nodded, "Alright!"

Ren Zhong boldly charged back, boosting his armor’s power with an amplifier, and hurled his guns to fend off two Ruined Beasts, helping her break through the encirclement.

Si Mawan seized the gap and rushed out, swiftly passing Ren Zhong without looking back.

Ren Zhong’s dual guns zoomed back from the left and right behind him, sweeping away a cluster of tiny, grain-sized intelligent machines that had quietly approached his motorboat’s engine, then, under his remote control, shot forward again.

Ren Zhong shrugged, silently sighing.

Those who seek death have their own ways of courting it.

If not for his high Brain Reaction Index capturing the buzzing wing vibration in his war armor’s auditory resonance, he might have fallen for it.

Earlier, in her panic, Si Mawan had revealed a big secret.

The last time she fell into Chen Hanyu’s hands, the vengeful Chen Hanyu exposed her identity.

Si Mawan knew it was more likely to be bad than good, so revealing it was of no use, and she might even die more miserably, so she took the secret to her grave.

But this time, seeing a glimmer of hope for survival, she made this trade.

Clearly, after getting out of trouble, Si Mawan immediately regretted it.

She thought she was being very discreet.

In the chaotic situation, no one would notice the couple of grain-sized intelligent machines—perfect timing for a lethal maneuver.

Coincidentally, Ren Zhong thought the same.

After all, this spot was concealed from Lin Wang and Bei Lihui’s position by the foothill of a small hill, out of their view.

If the move were sudden enough, they wouldn’t realize a thing.

Ahead, Si Mawan was brutally pierced through the neck and motorboat by two javelins that came chasing from behind.

She hadn’t expected Ren Zhong to be even more ruthless.

Dead!

Ren Zhong shouted in terror through the communicator, "Si Mawan!"

As the motorboat was destroyed, Lin Wang and Bei Lihui, fighting and fleeing in the rear, simultaneously heard Ren Zhong’s scream and saw Si Mawan’s death report in the squad system.

Lin Wang felt no sorrow but instead a thrill.

Ren Zhong could be useful!

Even though he fled promptly, seeing a comrade’s tragic death and knowing to scream indicated he had foolish humanity.

"Captain, what’s your status? Si Mawan just died!"

Ren Zhong shouted again.

Lin Wang grievously injured a Ruined Beast with a javelin, using another to electrically jolt back chasing opponents briefly, and replied, "Pan Fenglian and Song Qianlian are in bad shape, you must hurry back to join us. Only together can we break through! Damn Legion Beasts!"

Ren Zhong quivered with fear, "I can’t, Captain. I’m too weak. I’m afraid."

Lin Wang was furious, cursing internally, but patiently advised, "It’s alright, I’m strong with Bei Lihui, but just barely. As long as you come back, it’ll be fine."

"I... I..."

Ren Zhong feigned hesitancy while briefly fending off Second and Third Level Ruined Beasts, then used the gun’s tip to sever a strap and retrieve Si Mawan’s backpack, before darting forward another segment.

The Second and Third Level Ruined Beasts did not pursue him; instead, they crazily gnawed at Si Mawan’s corpse and motorboat.

Ren Zhong dashed out, reaching again the peak of the small hill where he last took a short rest, overlooking the scene from above.

At the innermost part of the pursuit formation, that humanoid Ruined Beast still stood motionless under the tree.

Further out, Song Qianlian was still desperately dodging in all directions against a formation of over ten Fourth Level Ruined Beasts.

Lin Wang and Bei Lihui were each fighting and fleeing under the chase of a dozen Fourth Level Ruined Beasts.

Both were continuously depleting the self-reactive protective equipment they wore.

The energy of their moves clearly indicated both had injected stimulants.

Obviously, the more perilous situation forced them to go all out.

Ren Zhong observed for nearly a minute, past his last Information Flow Interference Bomb throw point.

As expected, things resumed their original course.

The pair wasn’t fleeing directly toward Ren Zhong’s current hilltop but were diverting to another small valley branch.

The Legion Beasts began moving, running towards Lin Wang and Bei Lihui’s position like a person, yet without closing in excessively, maintaining a steady three-kilometer gap.

Ren Zhong calculated for a while, then restarted the floating motorboat, traveling along the mountain range, maintaining a five-kilometer distance from the Legion Beasts, and skirting along the edge.
