Chapter 222: The Tiger's Mouth Takes the Food, Resolutely
At ten o'clock at night, Ju Qingmeng and Ren Zhong said hello and went back to the dormitory room in the laboratory to sleep.
Since the armor laboratory was built, she has not been back to the villa area for a long time.
This armored laboratory with a total investment of 500 million, located at the junction of slums and white walls, became her new home.
The security of the laboratory is much stronger than that of ordinary villas, so there is no problem in terms of safety.
She has stayed here for a long time. On the one hand, the workload here is very demanding, and on the other hand, she herself is eager to improve.
After meeting Ren Zhong, her originally leisurely life as the manager of the arms mall in Spark Town was completely shattered.
Ren Zhong changes equipment too quickly and too frequently.
In the past three months, in addition to her basic work, she was either modifying equipment for Ren Zhong or accumulating knowledge for the purpose of modifying equipment. She was busy all day long and had no time to spare.
But although such days were bitter, she was also very fulfilled and enjoyed them very much.
Every time he made a brand new set of equipment for Ren Zhong with his own hands, and watched him go into battle and come back victorious, Ju Qingmeng would feel a secret sense of satisfaction in his heart.
She knew that she was getting closer and closer to "freedom".
During this process, she could also clearly feel that her technical level was improving rapidly.
In the beginning, when she took over the transformation of Ren Zhong's fourth-level armor, she felt quite powerless and had to use all her strength to keep up with Ren Zhong's design ideas.
Now, even though she was transforming equipment of level five or above exoskeleton level, and using super-class materials such as magic baby metal and exotic ore evolution metal that were not mentioned in the textbooks, she was still able to do it with ease.
The reason is, on the one hand, the fully upgraded equipment and tools, and on the other hand, she studied hard enough and has enough talent.
After three months of hard training, she was able to keep up with Ren Zhong's pace.
She always has low self-esteem, but she has complete trust in her when she has a heavy responsibility.
Today, after finishing "Red Front", it was rare for her to relax.
Lying in the soft quilt, she didn't even turn on hypnosis, but fell asleep quickly and naturally.
She did not enter the sleeping space, but chose to completely empty her mind and had a good, solid sleep.
She had a good dream.
…
Ren Zhong quietly walked out of the laboratory wearing the red front armor.
On the street, as far as the eye can see, there are brand new construction sites everywhere.
The lights on the construction site are bright, and one intelligent machine after another is constructing smoothly and orderly according to the design drawings.
The foundations and frames of each three-story alloy building have been completed.
A small number of construction management personnel with the nature of night watchmen are patrolling around.
In ten days at the latest, 15,000 people in Xinghuo Town will move into new homes.
In the drawing design, the three-story building took into account the automatic cruise defense system and the active sinking security system of the armed sleeping cabin.
Once an alarm is received, or the sensor in the cabin itself gives a reminder that it is being attacked by a beast, the armed sleeping cabin will automatically fall into the high-strength alloy security cabin underground.
Ruin beasts below level three are impossible to break through.
As for what to do if a high-level beast appears?
It's not easy to sleep anywhere, and you can only count on the town's night watch guards to respond in time.
Ren Zhong rode the Azure Type 4 motorboat quietly towards the gate of the town.
When he went out, he unexpectedly discovered that the person responsible for guarding the door tonight was actually Ma Xiaoling.
She will be on duty until 11:55, and then go home to sleep.
In the previous timeline, she had officially joined the Source Star Army at this time.
The two of them had dealt with each other at this very moment many times in the past. They would raise their eyebrows to each other tacitly as a greeting, and then they would walk out without hesitation.
But this time, Ma Xiaoling stopped him, "Why are you, a big boss with a net worth of billions, running out alone in the middle of the night?"
Ren Zhong: "Uh..."
"Don't you think you've been the boss for a long time and want to go hunting by yourself?"
Ren Zhong smiled, "You're really right."
"You must be sick!"
"Do you have any medicine?"
Ma Xiaoling: "Uh..."
"Okay, it's my personal hobby, don't stop me. I'm leaving now, see you later."
Looking at his back, Ma Xiaoling muttered, "If you stay up late at all times, you will be executed sooner or later. How annoying!"
Ren Zhong really went out hunting tonight.
On the one hand, he wanted to use the invincible equipment of the "Novice Village" to re-enter the ruins and help the scavengers in the town to re-formulate a more efficient hunting plan.
On the other hand, he also wanted to use Chifeng for actual combat and quickly become familiar with the equipment.
After going out, Ren Zhong went straight to the location of Chenhui Mining Area.
The "folks" near the deep freezer forest have already been visited by him.
The "folks" all said they couldn't bear it and are now being reincarnated.
Therefore, he wanted to go to another place where he once left fond memories, "the shortcut valley when returning to Xinghuo Town from Chenhui Mining Area."
According to the administrative division, half of this valley belongs to Xinghuo Town, which is naturally his legal hunting area.
In the past, because this place was too far away and the levels of ruin beasts were unstable, with levels 1, 2, 3 and 4 appearing randomly, scavengers from Spark Town rarely went hunting in this valley.
But now the shuttle bus system established by Ren Zhong can solve the disadvantage of distance.
The population that the town needs to support has suddenly increased by 10,000. As a boss, he has to start thinking about the job of mayor.
He wants to find an "old friend", Legionmon.
After busying in the valley for the middle of the night, it was three o'clock in the morning the next day, and Ren Zhong saw no trace of the Legion Beast again.
After encountering this thing, he truthfully reported the presence of Legionmon in accordance with the relevant laws and regulations of Source Star.
I don’t know whether this thing was wiped out or whether it disappeared quietly after its whereabouts were exposed as recorded in the archives.
Four o'clock in the morning.
Ren Zhong is about to explore the last branch of the valley.
After checking here again, he made sure that there were no traces of any other ruin beasts or legion beasts above level 4. His operation tonight was complete.
Ren Zhong looked at the car chip storage box behind him, which contained seven unopened level 4 beast chips that were discounted at half price, fifteen barely passable level 3 beast chips, and more than twenty
Perfect grade three beast chip.
His harvest tonight was quite rich. The performance of the Chifeng Armor crushed the ordinary level 5 exoskeleton, and the output power limit even exceeded 60,000 kilowatts. Coupled with his complete sixth sense and super high brain reaction at this time
Index, slaughtering a level four beast looks like chopping melons and vegetables.
However, he felt it was still not perfect.
He jumped out of the car, turned on the full-featured scanner that came with the armor, and waited for data modeling. Ren Zhong looked at the chip storage box again and sighed inwardly.
I'm such a loser.
He was learning this and that, but he didn't know how to strengthen his original eating skills, so his dismantling skills didn't keep up.
If you dismantle so many level 4 chips and sell them to a resource recycling company, you will lose thousands of points at least.
Wait, I seem to be the boss?
Well, if you sell it to yourself, you have to count double the profit.
If you don’t lose money this time, then it’s okay.
At this time, the scanner was finally completed, and a brief summary of the ground conditions within a one-kilometer radius appeared in his combat command system database, forming a circular three-dimensional map.
Ren Zhong gave the order in his heart.
"Screen for traces of market beast activity."
The next second, thousands of red plates and lines were marked.
Ren Zhong glanced at it and saw that it was very good, there were no ruin beasts above level four.
It was getting late, and he was ready to return.
At this moment, the combat command system automatically popped up a new prompt, "There are traces of abnormal human activities. Do you want to mark it?"
Ren Zhong frowned, realizing that this matter was not simple.
It's after four o'clock in the morning.
Under normal circumstances, unless it is a passing vehicle with automatic cruise set up, it is impossible for anyone to move in the wild.
But since the combat system specifically indicates "abnormal", it must not be a passing vehicle.
"Shows traces of human activity."
The next second, he saw a long line on the side of the branch valley.
enlarge.
It turned out that this line was actually a convoy of trucks forming a long snake formation along the valley, with a total of twenty vehicles.
Ren Zhong frowned. Although the three-dimensional modeling could only show the general outline of the vehicle, he felt that this thing seemed familiar.
Turning on the armor camouflage mode, Ren Zhong walked along the mountainside on the side of the valley.
Five minutes later, he arrived at his destination.
Halfway up the mountain, Ren Zhong looked at the scene below through an optical night vision telescope.
This long line of trucks is painted in black for night camouflage. There are no markings on the surface, but it can be judged from its model that it is a vehicle from the Mengdu Group.
On the ground near the truck, there is a hole two meters long.
There is a "small hill" on the inside of the cave entrance.
A group of black-armored warriors were guarding the cave entrance with guns.
One of the black-armored warriors with his helmet visor uncovered was recognized by Ren Zhong.
That person was none other than Jiang Yong, the guard captain of the Liaoyuan Branch of the Mengdu Group.
Next to the entrance of the cave, seven or eight corpses were scattered in various directions.
The owners of these corpses were dressed in tatters, but the armor on their bodies and the weapons that fell to the ground did not look shabby, and they were relatively elite.
The corpse's heavenly spirit cover has been lifted.
Obviously, hunters have already visited here.
At this time, one after another flying vehicles equipped with high-performance anti-gravity generators were lifting people one after another out of the hole, and put these people into the truck one after another.
The people who were hung out included men and women, young and middle-aged people as well as children, but there were no elderly people.
These people are fast asleep.
This scene looks like ants moving.
The flying vehicles are like hard-working ants, and the people who are hoisted out are like grains of rice.
It only took Ren Zhong a second to determine what was going on.
There is no doubt that this is a barren settlement similar to the barren tribe in Qishan.
To be able to take root here, the number of people in this tribe may not be large, but it must be elite enough.
However, they were able to withstand the threat of the Ruin Beast, but they could not withstand the night raid of the Mengdu Group.
This desert tribe was raided, and the people in the tribe became "volunteers" in their sleep.
As for the motives of the Mengdu Group, it is not difficult to guess, as it is clearly stated in the quarterly financial report of Tianlong High-Tech.
Just when Ren Zhong had just straightened out his thoughts and was wondering whether to go forward and "say hello", the "ant moving" had ended, and no more flying vehicles flew out of the hole.
The black-armored warriors jumped into the truck very quickly.
Twenty cars quickly took off into the air and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Ren Zhong made a preliminary estimate of the number of deserters who were taken away.
On average, each vehicle contained fifty people, and a total of one thousand desolate people were taken away.
After waiting for another three minutes to make sure that the other party would not come back and that his exploration would not alert the enemy, Ren Zhong quietly touched it.
Then, he stood directly in front of the "hill" and was stunned.
At this moment, he only felt the coldness of the polar night.
The wind is biting.
This "hill" is formed by the accumulation of corpses of "old people" whose average age is over 35 years old.
There are at least thousands of bones of old people here.
The brains of all the corpses have been taken away.
Ren Zhong stood here silently for a long time.
Time flows slowly.
A large number of beasts began to smell the smell of human blood and quietly appeared from nearby.
At this time, his armor was in camouflage mode, and the Xu beast did not read the existence of this huge threat from the information flow, so it dared to come closer.
Ren Zhong turned around and left.
…
At 6:15 the next morning, Wang Zhaofu and Shi Xuan, the important generals with dark circles under their eyes, were called into the office of Spark Resources.
Although these two people had just woken up at this time, they had good sleep quality and were in good spirits.
"Mr. Ren, what is so urgent?"
Brother Wang asked slightly confused.
As the scale of the Ren Group grew larger and larger, although Ren Zhong did not deliberately establish rules, Wang Zhaofu, as a professional businessman, developed a habit of no longer calling him "Brother Ren" when he was around other people, but instead calling him "Mr. Ren"
Habit.
Ren Zhong showed a video to the two of them.
It was the real record of the Mengdu Group's "people theft" that he had secretly filmed earlier.
The two of them were stunned.
Ren Zhong will explain everything in detail.
After listening, Wang Zhaofu and Shi Xuan had different reactions.
Lao Wang looked a little solemn.
Shi Xuan gritted his teeth, clapped his cheeks, and bloodshot eyes gradually gushed out, as if he was suppressing endless anger.
Ren Zhong waited for the two of them to digest it and said slowly: "I can't control the Mengdu Group stealing people in other places. But the desolate people near Xinghuo Town or Liaoyuan County are our potential employees. I will definitely do it.
With the development of Spark Town, our demand for human resources will inevitably continue to rise. Now we still have 2,000 places that have not been filled. I will never allow me to wait until I need people one day, only to find that the surrounding area is a wilderness.
No one can find it."
Wang Zhaofu: "So...?"
Shi Xuan has already said: "If Mr. Ren has the motivation, I will definitely take the lead!"
Ren nodded and said, "I want to compete with the Mengdu Group for people."
In fact, he had subtext that he didn't say.
Perhaps the Mengdu Group has a fixed number of volunteers in each county.
For example, in Liaoyuan County, the original quota should be filled by the deserters from Xinghuo Town.
But things changed, and then the Mengdu Group shifted its target to the Qishan tribe. As a result, they suffered defeat at the hands of Ren Zhong and returned in despair.
As a result, the Liaoyuan Branch of the Mengdu Group simply broke out and chose to raid the barren tribe in Liaoyuan County!
In a sense, the desolate people who were taken away and killed yesterday were the "scapegoats" for the people of Xinghuo Town and the desolate people of the Qishan tribe.
He didn't say this, but Shi Xuan must have understood it, which was why Shi Xuan expressed his stance in advance.
When Wang Zhaofu heard this, he shook his head like a rattle, "Boss, stop joking. Aren't you making it clear that you want to have trouble with the Mengdu Group?"
Ren Zhong grinned, "So what? Did I break the law? Do I know their plan? I don't know! I just want to prepare for a rainy day and gather all the desolate people in Liaoyuan County into the town in advance, and become my
It’s just a reserve talent resource pool, is there any problem?”
Wang Zhaofu: "But the quota for next year's census..."
"Next year's affairs will be discussed next year. At least according to the laws of the Origin Star, I can do whatever I want this year! I have made up my mind and there is no need to discuss it again! Shi Xuan, you used to be the largest tribal leader. In the Liaoyuan County Barren Tribe,
The reputation is very good. Lao Wang, you used to be a merchant and are very familiar with the desert tribes in the county. I order you two to formulate a complete recruitment plan within an hour."
"I will allocate Zheng Tian's hunting group and all professional teams to you. They must set off immediately before eight o'clock this morning. The troops are divided into eight groups. You must complete all the desert tribes for me within one day, no matter it is
Big or small, no one will be spared. In addition, Lao Wang, please contact me the transportation leasing company now. There must be no problem with the transportation capacity. Before dark today, I want to see all the wild places in Liaoyuan County in Xinghuo Town.
