In fact, after disconnecting from the Internet, no one except Ren Zhong himself knew what his strength was.
The last time he took action was to kill the Vibranium Tiger exactly 141 days ago, and he didn't go all out.
For an ordinary professional, 141 days is not that long, and basically nothing can be changed.
But for the task of fast-forwarding life, these past five months have a different value.
Because his life motto is to "look forward", he never stops moving forward.
During these days, in addition to advancing his career, Ren Zhong insisted on completing two things every day.
First, learn.
He never misses an opportunity to learn more.
Even if he sincerely despises the scientific system on the Source Star that only pursues appropriationism, he only despises it strategically and attaches great importance to it tactically.
Even though these things were an insult to his IQ, as long as a person with normal memory could chew them, there was basically no requirement for people's understanding, so he despised them while chewing them crazily.
He doesn't find reading books boring.
On the contrary, he indulged in it.
This reminded him of the days when he was twelve years old and spent five months reading high school textbooks to prepare for the college entrance examination.
Although those years were short, they shaped the tone of his life.
As long as it is meaningful, he will go all out. He enjoys the process of struggle, and the gains are just incidental.
Second, training.
As early as the 235th day, Ren Zhong's various parameters had already exceeded the upper limit of level five, and he became an authentic level six mecha warrior.
Since then, Ren Zhong has maintained high-intensity virtual reality training until the day when the Internet was disconnected.
During this period, Ren Zhong's brain response index increased by a terrifying 19,000 points per day.
The increase in physical fitness comprehensive index and carrying power is 2112.5 points/day.
After the internet was disconnected on the 245th day, Ren Zhong, like everyone else, also lost his virtual reality training.
At this time, his parameters are:
The brain-computer synchronization rate is 69.99%.
The bioelectricity carrying power is 71,288 kilowatts.
Brain response index 240,163.
The comprehensive physical fitness index is 71,288.
He quickly adjusted the training mechanism and combined high-intensity physical training with brain response training.
He immediately purchased two "scrapped" Faceless Man sparring machines, used chips to restore part of the computing power, transformed the basement of his villa into a private training base, and then forcibly fought against the Faceless Man with his physical body, just like martial arts
The protagonist of the novel is trained with the Eighteen Shaolin Bronze Men. Although the increase in his brain reaction index is not as high as when there is virtual reality, it is still much faster than that of ordinary people.
His comprehensive physical fitness index increased back to 2100 points/day, and his brain response index reached the same level as when he used level 9 virtual reality training in the previous stage, 3800 points/day.
Three more nights later, when he set off for Shendu City, his brain reaction index once again broke through the upper limit of 250,000, and the increase dropped to 312.5 points per day.
Up to now, his parameters are:
The brain-computer synchronization rate is 69.99%.
The bioelectricity carrying power is 144,788 kilowatts.
Brain response index 260143.
Comprehensive physical fitness index 144,788.
This is already the mainstay level for level six professionals.
But his actual combat ability far exceeds the data.
This is because he had combat intuition, time intuition as early as the fourth level, and was also exposed to consciousness uploading.
His brain is always running ahead of his body.
Wang Qiao thought that Ren Zhong wanted others to be his queen, but he was terribly wrong.
In the blink of an eye, Ren Zhong rushed to a position only two to three hundred meters away from the ambusher.
The other party seemed to be caught off guard. Unexpectedly, with such a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, Ren Zhong not only refused to escape, but took the initiative to die.
"Unlike what was planned, the ambush we deployed in the direction of Chrome Carbon Town was in vain."
"It doesn't matter, let him die in our hands, the credit will be greater."
"It's really troublesome. Why don't you just kill him with a cannon? I don't know who gave him the courage."
"Who knows?"
Here, the ambushers were chatting in the communication system while driving their own small floating fighter planes to swoop in.
Ren Zhong thought of using electromagnetic communication to restore information capabilities. Others also had this trick. Although he didn't use it as well as him, there was no problem with basic voice communication similar to a walkie-talkie.
However, the next moment this group of people panicked.
Two fist-sized missiles flew out from Ren Zhong's back to the left and right sides, carrying light tail flames, and pounced at him at extremely fast speeds.
Here, the ambushers didn't take it seriously.
Their detection equipment showed that the energy level index of these two missiles was not high.
In the blink of an eye, the missile exploded in the center of the ambushers' queue.
There was no blazing flames or violent impact. Everyone only heard a buzzing sound, and soon there were crackling sounds on the dashboard of their improvised aircraft, and bursts of sparks exploded.
The aircraft lost control on the spot.
Someone screamed into the communicator, but no one answered.
Everyone was panicking. No one had ever encountered such a situation.
One after another, the aircraft fell randomly like kites under a heavy rain.
The aircraft is no longer a tool, but has become a deadly iron cage.
Many people tried to activate their equipment and get out of trouble, but they could only hear error after error.
On the other side, Ren Zhong collapsed the lead protective layer on the surface of the Chifeng Armor piece by piece and looked ahead quietly.
The equipment he used was not very advanced, just two excessive electromagnetic pulse bombs, also known as EMP bombs.
This thing was born on earth in the late 1980s, and has played an important role that cannot be ignored in every modern war since then.
Whether it is a direct hit to cause damage, or it is used as a deterrent without triggering, it is its specialty.
It can even be said that EMP directly changed the pattern of modern warfare.
But on the Origin Star, although it has stronger productivity, higher-performance beast chip resources, and "alien technology" from the empire, all of this is basically based on the assistance of the "Net".
Once the net is lost, the previous advantages become disadvantages, and even seem a bit primitive in Ren Zhong's eyes, especially the combat concept.
The heavy-duty EMP bomb has become an invincible weapon at this moment.
Moreover, everyone under his command did not know that most of the equipment manufactured by Xinghuo Military Industry had electromagnetic pulse shielding layers installed on each core component as early as when it left the factory.
Ren Zhong turned around and waved.
The harsh noise in the ears of Ma Xiaoling and others has disappeared.
Everyone heard his Fu Jing Fubo's order, just one word.
"kill."
Except for the colonial warriors, the other professions are simply lambs to be slaughtered without the power to resist.
Ren Zhong and others raised and lowered their knives, or breathed fire from their guns, one move at a time.
After losing the blessing of equipment, the once noble high-level professionals became even less fragile than a first-level ruin beast.
Seeing this comparison, Ren Zhong realized what a feat it was for him to kill the crystal winged dragon with his seriously ill body.
But not everyone here is adaptable to this situation.
Wang Qiao, whose hands were stained with blood, did not fire a single shot and only watched with a frown on his face.
An inquiry from bone conduction sounded in his tactical glasses.
Ren Zhong: "Wang Qiao, what's wrong?"
"Mr. Ren, although I have killed a lot of people in the past, I have never killed such an opponent who has no power to resist."
Ren Zhong stopped what he was doing, handed over the cleaning of the battlefield to others, and gradually approached the direction of Wangqiao.
"Why?"
Wang Qiao: "Maybe I'm a bit awkward?"
Ren Zhong smiled and said, "No, this is your principle, I understand. People like you, in ancient terms, are called Jianghu Qi, a green forest hero."
Wang Qiao: "I probably understand the charlatanism. Green forest hero? What is that?"
The next second, Ren Zhong suddenly accelerated and shouted, "Be careful behind you..."
In fact, no need to be reminded, Wang Qiao's sense of crisis has already prompted him to turn around quickly.
He saw a huge blue ball of fire floating in front of him, flying towards him like a meteor, with fierce momentum and scorching flames.
This fire ball was transformed by a seventh-level colonial warrior.
Previously, this man had been shot through the chest by Ren Zhongzai immediately, seemingly killing him on the spot.
Unexpectedly, he merged with the gene of the Ruin Beast with strong regenerative ability, and resurrected from the dead. He even chose Wangqiao on the edge of the battle group as a breakthrough point, trying to break through the blockade and escape.
With no way to escape, Wang Qiao raised his large pistol and fired several rounds in a very short period of time.
However, he did not change the low-temperature bombs to deal with this kind of flames in advance, and used ordinary penetrating bombs.
Several bullets roared through the fire ball, but only brought out a few tongues of flame behind it, unable to stop its momentum at all.
At the critical moment, Ren Zhong ducked in front of Wang Qiao, activated the energy shield, and spread his arms.
The scorching fire ball crashed into Ren Zhong's shield, splashing fire.
Wang Qiao stared at this scene blankly, with astonishment written all over his face.
"Why are you still standing there? Why don't you hurry up and leave!"
Ren Zhong's angry shout sounded in his ears.
Obviously, the electromagnetic communication equipment in Ren Zhong's armor has been damaged, and Ren Zhong was just shouting with his voice.
Wang Qiao finally came to his senses and ran back in a hurry.
After he ran far away, Zhong Ren finally dared to fully activate the armor's energy.
The corrosive blade fell off from behind him and automatically slid upward into his palm under the magnetic pull.
With the infusion of energy, monstrous green flames soared into the sky.
Ren Zhong's right hand waved fiercely again, and the green flames tightly wrapped the blue fire ball.
Explosions caused by the collision of different energies occurred one after another.
After about a few seconds, Ren Zhong finally sheathed the knife, but the blue fire ball had completely disappeared.
There was only a strip of dry scorched earth about fifty meters in diameter left in front of him.
Wang Qiao quickly approached, only to see that the front of the red-fronted armor had been melted, making it look like a candle beside a bonfire.
"Mr. Ren, this..."
Ren Zhong turned to look at him, "It's okay. My Red Front Armor has the ability to self-repair. It will be back to its original state in two days. Ahem..."
Wang Qiao: "But you..."
Just as he was talking, the red front armor disintegrated on its own and fell off of Ren Zhong's body.
Ren Zhong fell to the ground on his back.
Only then did Wang Qiao and others who had just completed the cleaning work see the tragic condition on his body.
Ren Zhong's front was completely charred, his clothes were burned through, and extensive burns were visible to the naked eye.
After all, this is a fatal blow from a seventh-level professional, and its lethality is extraordinary.
In order to protect Wang Qiao, Ren Zhong did not dodge or dodge, and suffered a fatal blow.
Although he is powerful, he is stronger in battle intelligence, on-the-spot judgment and prediction.
In such a head-to-head encounter, both the output power of his armor and the performance of the Red Front Armor were slightly compromised. It was extremely difficult to save a life.
Ma Xiaoling was the first to panic, "Quick! Where is the medicine? Get the medicine quickly!"
Next to him, Chen Meng immediately opened the storage box of his heavy-duty mecha.
As a heavily armored warrior, Chen Meng has the most abundant storage space in his armor, and is always equipped with rescue kits for battlefield emergencies.
But after the box was opened, Chen Meng's expression changed.
It turned out that in the previous confrontation, this part of his armor had been hit by another colonial warrior, and now the medicine and nano-treatment robot inside had been completely damaged.
Ma Xiaoling scolded Chen Meng in reality, but then realized that there was a life-saving hormone drug in his armor, so he quickly popped it out and injected another injection into Ren Zhong's neck, which was so cooked that it was burnt black.
The rustling sound when the injection needle pierced the carbonized layer only made everyone present feel sore at the sight.
Ren Zhong smiled and said: "Don't be so nervous, I can't die. My armor protection layer was only slightly burned through. Don't look at the burn on my face, but it's fine on the inside, and the injury on my neck is serious.
It’s just that because this is the connecting part, the defense is a little weak.”
Everyone turned their attention and looked at the armor joints such as the elbows, knees, waist and so on.
Sure enough, these areas have been completely burned through, carbonized and turned black.
Other places only smell of meat, but at least they still have some form.
Wang Qiao lay down softly and squatted aside, trembling his lips, "Mr. Ren, you...are you in pain?"
After the injection, along with the crazy secretion of adrenaline hormones, Ren Zhong's condition improved again.
He nodded slightly, "Of course it hurts."
"Then why did you..."
Ren Zhong smiled again, "No reason, I am your leader, what are you talking about when you are in pain?"
How could he tell others that he had already felt similar pain more than once, and he had never experienced pain from living to death.
His pain tolerance has been tempered for a long time and is beyond human level.
Wang Qiao wiped his face and said, "I'm sorry, it's my problem."
Ren Zhong: "Actually, I haven't finished what I just said. I wanted to tell you that in our business, it is not suitable to have the mentality of a green forest hero. There is a fundamental difference in stance between us and the enemy. To sympathize with the enemy is to betray our comrades.
I understand that you have just arrived and are not used to it. It’s good to be like this now. Do you understand why I want to kill these seemingly unarmed enemies?”
Wang Qiao: "Yes."
"All of this is for a higher goal. As long as the final goal is just, some unethical behavior in the process is not unforgivable. As for what is right and what is wrong, future generations will naturally comment after thousands of years. As for us,
Just don’t look back once you step on this road.”
Here, Bai Feng and Jiang Kai can be considered as a fixed stretcher.
Everyone carefully tied Ren Zhong onto the stretcher, and Chen Meng supported Ren Zhong on top.
Ren Zhong said again: "Go northwest. There must be an ambush in the southwest of Chrome Carbon Town. Use the equipment to fly back to Liaoyuan County. Hurry up and don't be afraid of bumping me."
After walking for a while, Wang Qiao, who still couldn't get over his guilt, couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Ren, actually I don't quite understand. Since you just said that as long as the goal is just, the process is not so important. So, for your goal,
, your lifeline is obviously the most important. Why do you want to save me? It's not worth it. What if the colonial warrior just now was a little stronger and you died because of me, wouldn't everything be lost? Even if you don't care about me, you won't be able to save me.
No harm to your justice."
Ren Zhong grinned, "Everyone knows the truth, but it's another thing when you do it. Just like you can be merciful, of course I will be too. I don't care about the enemy's life, but you are my comrade. The whole plan today is mine.
You trust me and follow me to Zhansha County. Naturally, I have an obligation to take responsibility for your lives. It is true that I have a heavy responsibility as a leader, and my life is indeed important. But I am not the kind of person who will only shrink back.
A leader who stands behind the crowd and lets others die for him. I will personally take responsibility for every decision I make."
Wang Qiao was silent for a long time.
He suddenly recalled something.
When everyone followed Ren Zhong out of the Second Prison, said goodbye to him briefly, dispersed and gathered again to discuss, Hua Yuelan once said: "Although I don't have much contact with him, I can say responsibly
, Ren Zhong is different from everyone on the Source Star, and is worthy of our trust with our lives."
At that time, Wang Qiao didn't quite agree with this and felt that Hua Yuelan was exaggerating.
