Resurrection Empire

Ren Zhong and the other two walked out of the villa and strolled to the parking lot.

While everyone was having breakfast, Yang Bingzhong had already sent a notice to Ren Zhong that his two Qingfeng heavy-duty trucks were placed in the VIP garage in the parking lot, and the car keys were stored in the automatic custody machine for them to pick up on their own.

Chrome Carbon Town is still bustling in the early morning.

In the sky, aircraft of various models and functions are still flowing continuously.

There are even more people coming and going on the streets.

The air was filled with a faint smell of gunpowder smoke, and a hint of human fireworks.

Compared to Spark Town, where almost all desolate people can only rely on cheap synthetic food to survive, in Chromium Carbon Town, the aroma of oil smoke wafts out from the kitchen exhaust vents of many desolate people's homes.

Ren Zhong and others passed through the white-walled gate, passed the town tower, and walked a few hundred meters to the side. They happened to pass by the centralized sleeping cabins of eight hemispheric fortresses arranged neatly.

If it were the 21st century, these eight hemispheric fortresses would look like a unique commercial building complex.

But here, this is a safe zone for desert people at night.

At this time, seven of them were intact, and a huge hole with a diameter of about seven or eight meters appeared under one of them.

The hole was dented inward, and the edges of the torn, twisted metal showed signs of corrosion.

As for the concave shape, it looks like it was violently knocked out by a large ruin beast.

More than ten pieces of construction machinery are busy around the hole.

Through the hole, Ren Zhong could see the broken iron bed inside and the blood stains on the ground.

Other pedestrians passing by here didn't bother to take a second look, as if they were used to it, and they just felt that it was ordinary, no different from sunrise and sunset.

On the street, a small number of houses on both sides of the road were obviously damaged and collapsed.

Some aerial robots are surrounding these buildings like bees, performing cutting, welding, painting and other work.

People were coming and going on the street, and it looked very lively.

Most of the pedestrians were stronger than the people in the Xinghuo Waste Town. The proportion of scavengers carrying weapons and equipment was also much higher. There were also many office workers in work clothes who were in a hurry.

The expressions of the pedestrians also looked more energetic. From time to time, three or five people would get together and walk side by side, chatting animatedly.

Ren Zhong turned on the armor's built-in auditory monitoring system.

A large amount of conversational information entered his ears along the auditory resonance.

He discovered a very subtle phenomenon.

People discussed the "accident" in the centralized sleeping cabin last night. They simply said a few words about who died again, and expressed a few emotions about the impermanence of life, and that when you get rich, you should enjoy yourself in time, etc., and then the topic jumped away. No more talk.

Because death in sleep is something that people cannot control. No matter how much you talk, you can't avoid the danger, so why waste your time.

What people talk about most is their work, life and gossip.

For example, who went out and picked up the remains of a ruin beast that no one had picked up, who had the courage to break into a ruin beast production area and came out alive and made a small fortune, and who finally successfully passed an N-level job under Amethyst Mining. The subsidiary's mechanic passed the exam and got a noble official job, and he immediately mortgaged a small alloy building near the white wall.

After Ren Zhong heard this, he checked the information again.

He was "surprised" to find that there was a real estate industry in Chrome Carbon Town! You can even get a mortgage installment!

Simply.

But the real estate here is different from the real estate in his memory. It belongs to the characteristics of Yuanxing or Chromium Carbon Town.

Barren people can't get loans, so there are other things to pay attention to when buying a house with a mortgage.

Ownership of the house remains with the seller until the buyer has paid off the entire amount.

If the home buyer dies before the house payment is settled, and the designated heir of the home buyer is unable to continue paying the monthly installments.

Then, the seller will be able to take back all the rights to the house and resell it without having to return all the contribution points paid by the buyer. It only needs to pay a proportion of wealth income tax to the town government.

In addition, people who hold real estate must pay a certain amount of tax regularly based on the value of the house, called the property holding tax.

Under such strange town rules, buying a house is essentially a gamble.

The bet is on how hard the buyer's life will be, and how hard the buyer's heir's life will be.

The amazing thing is that the real estate market is really booming.

Houses in outer cities, especially those close to white walls, are in short supply and are worth a fortune.

According to statistical rules, regardless of day or night, the closer an area is to a white wall, the lower the possibility of being attacked by a beast, and the higher the safety factor of the house.

As long as there are some basic automatic firepower configurations and armed sleeping cabins, the residents can sit back and relax at night. It is safer than centralized sleeping cabins, which have professional armed protection but are crowded with people and are targeted by ruin beasts.

Those who can live in these houses are at least second-level professionals, or people who are successful in business or have special skills.

The hottest topic of discussion on the street is the change of hands in the white-walled radiant area.

What the barren people were most excited about was that a certain homeowner in the radiation zone died, and his family was forced to sell the house at a reduced price because they could not afford the holding tax.

Someone I knew had a hard on the head, took it by force, rushed into the second and third level beast hunting area, and then unfortunately died.

Ren Zhongpin has a taste.

Although the material conditions of the Chromium Carbon Desolate Suppressor are far richer than those of the Spark Desolate Suppressor, they still have difficulties that they cannot get rid of, they still have troubles, and they are still just tools.

Ren Zhong thoroughly understood the existence value of the satellite town and the deserted people in the town.

First, natural bait for hunting beasts.

Second, the county wall is made of people and buildings.

Third, provide a production base for minerals, animal products and various basic industrial processed products.

Fourth, the slaughterhouse continues to produce more human brains with relatively high death and birth rates.

If the human brain is regarded as the most important product, then this place really represents the more advanced productivity on the Source Star.

Within the nearby area of ​​hundreds of kilometers, the only truly safe places are the central area of ​​the town, including the Baiqiang District of Chrome Carbon Town, and Zhansha County, surrounded by eight satellite towns.

Eight satellite towns form a large county with one million citizens.

As one of the citizens living in the safe zone, Ren Zhong does not feel proud.

As discussed yesterday, the three major professional teams who had just arrived met the captains of many of the top semi-professional teams in the town in the parking lot, a total of more than 60 people.

The strength levels of these more than sixty captains span a huge range.

In addition to more than forty second-level professionals, there are actually more than ten third-level captains and six fourth-level captains.

The previous Chromium Carbon Resource Recycling Company had moved yesterday morning. The six top professional teams and more than 60 affiliated teams that once dominated the entire town also followed the medium-sized enterprise to a better place. "Heaven".

Now these three teams under Yang Bingzhong are the original teams under the new emperor of Chrome Carbon Town.

The new professional team system and affiliated team system will be quickly built around the three professional teams including Ren Zhong in a very short period of time.

Regardless of their strength, the identities of Ren Zhong and others cannot allow these desolate captains to despise them.

Ren Zhong, Tang Shuying and Jiang Kai, who hold the power to control the quota, can be said to be high and powerful.

The semi-professional teams in the town at least gave them enough respect.

After a brief exchange, we basically got to know each other. Nearly half an hour later, a huge team filed out of the parking lot.

There was an incident when we introduced each other in the parking lot.

The professional team led by Ren Zhong was despised because of its "low strength".

Although no one said anything rude on the surface, the airy smell between the eyebrows was very strong.

In this Chromium Carbon Town, there are a total of more than 20 level 4 professionals who are outside the professional team system of Chromium Carbon Resources. The competition is so fierce that it won’t be long before this trivial level 3 Spark has a heavy responsibility. The rural guys will be eliminated from the queue.

This is an objective fact and cannot be changed by human will.

Tang Shu's films are impressive, and she is about to reveal her identity as a responsible citizen to shock these blind young men.

However, Ren Zhong stopped her from helping him, stood up with his hands on his hips, and said loudly: "I don't like to hide my words and things. It seems that you all have some ideas. Let me tell you, I am indeed only level three, and my carrying power is only 365 kilowatts. But Sid Meier once said that level does not represent absolute strength. I can responsibly say that at this moment, I am the first person below level four!"

This big talk was so full of words that everyone showed disbelief and sneered, but they all hid it and felt extremely uncomfortable.

Ren Zhong smiled slightly, "Then it's better to choose a day than to hit it. You can all come up and give it a try. If any third-level professional can win me, I will give up my professional contract. If Mr. Yang is not happy, I will I will ask him to be lenient."

As soon as Ren Zhong said this, everyone was in an uproar.

Is there such a good thing?

A strong man wearing heavy armor stood up first, "Captain Ren, my carrying power is 600, which is much higher than yours. I won't make it difficult for you. If I win, I just ask Captain Ren to give me a Is it okay for you to have a sufficiently favorable admission quota?”

This strong man looks rough, but is actually delicate. He also knows how to shoot the first bird with a gun.

He was the first to stand up, but he showed enough respect for Ren Zhong's identity, so as not to leave a bad impression on Yang Bingzhong as a local snake who was unwilling to obey orders and tried to force Guojiang Long.

Before Yang Bingzhong came to Chrome Carbon Town, many people had inquired about the methods of this new boss who had risen in Spark Town. He was sweet-talking, ruthless and ruthless.

Ren nodded, "Okay!"

Tang Shuying and Jiang Kai tried to dissuade him several times, but they were determined.

When the two of them saw Zheng Tian and other members of his team just watching without saying a word, they simply gave it up and stopped trying to persuade them. They only reported the matter to Yang Bingzhong.

Unfortunately, Yang Bingzhong seemed to be busy at the moment and did not reply.

As a result, Tang Shuying and the two people stopped talking nonsense and acted as organizers. They first negotiated and came up with reasonable rules for fighting, then dismissed everyone and created an open arena for fighting in the center of the parking lot.

Ren Zhong and the heavily armored soldier faced off for several seconds. As Tang Shuying shouted "Start!", the two of them immediately charged towards each other.

The heavily armored warrior shook his hands, and two alloy chains with spiked spherical hammer heads hanging from the top suddenly fell from his shoulders and flew out.

Boom!

He took a step forward with his right foot, leaned sideways, and began to spin. The two chain hammers swung like a tornado, sweeping towards Ren Zhong.

Tang Shuying frowned.

This heavily armored warrior increased the output power to over 500 kilowatts from the very beginning, which was far greater than the heavy load. Danger!

Once hit, Ren Zhong would be seriously injured even if he didn't die.

Ren Zhong is really going to die. What will be damaged is Mr. Yang's prestige in the town. He, the dragon crossing the river, has made a mistake.

In the next moment, Ren Zhong's right hand pulled out a huge crimson sword from his waist, and the output power was suppressed to the third level of the magic flame-cutting giant blade.

The flames spurted thinly, and red light suddenly appeared.

Ren Zhong fit himself and flew forward, almost like red lightning piercing the sky.

The heavily armored warrior in Tang Shuying's team exclaimed in a low voice: "It's so fast! He used all 300 kilowatts of power for maneuvering, and basically has no defense! What is he going to do? Is he going to die if he crashes into me?"

Tang Shuying gritted her teeth.

Something unexpected happened. In the blink of an eye, the red lightning flashed like a fish through the whirlwind shield created by the heavy armored warrior with a hammer, and collided with it fiercely.

Almost at the same time as the collision, the red light exploded again.

Just two crisp sounds were heard, and the two chain hammers of the heavily armored warrior flew out and crashed into the crowd.

The two fourth-level gunsmiths shot accurately and knocked down the two chain hammers.

At the same time, Ren Zhong flew back more than ten meters and slowly landed on the ground.

The flame-cutting giant blade in his hand was still breathing level three flames.

But the heavily armored warrior opposite him stood there blankly. There was a black hole in his mask, and the cracks spread along the hole.

There were two more cuts on his forearms.

Those two places were the connection points for the traction chain hammer on his forearm armor.

He lost.

Ren Zhong only used one move.

The man was trembling all over. At that moment, the tip of the giant flame slashing blade was only 5 centimeters away from his eyeballs.

As long as Ren Zhong stirs up a little energy and makes the Flame Slashing Giant Blade spray out flames, his brain will be burned to coke on the spot.

Or if you push the long knife one decimeter in, he will die through his skull.

But now, his eyebrows were only burned off by the flames, but he was unscathed.

For a moment, the whole place was dead silent.

Tang Shuying glanced at the battle video read on her level 4 tactical helmet.

See everything clearly.

At that moment, Ren Zhong jumped out with 300 kilowatts of maneuvering power, and made two small arc maneuvers when he crashed into the opponent's chain hammer defense range, just to avoid the chain hammer bombardment.

Then, within 0.1 seconds, Ren Zhong converted all the output power of up to 320 kilowatts into the third-level flame slashing giant blade, and hit the opponent's helmet and chain hammer connection with three swords in one second.

Ren Zhong showed extremely proficient armor control skills in this move, his fighting style was bold and careful, and his brain reflexes were extremely fast, so much so that he managed to achieve powerful results in an understatement.

Tang Shuying breathed a long sigh of relief and sighed secretly: "Ren Zhong is a born mecha warrior, his talent is too high. No wonder President Yang focuses on training him."

The level 4 heavy armor warrior of Tang Shuying's team also swallowed his saliva, "I feel that as long as his parameters reach level 4, I won't be able to survive ten moves in his hands."

In the center of the arena, Ren Zhong waved his long sword and pointed it at the crowd, "Next. The third-level colonial warrior is you. Come on, I will show mercy."

At this time, he seemed to be arrogant and arrogant.

But in fact, no one knew, he was quite shy.

Now he knew what it was like when Ma Xiaoling suppressed power and gave him special training.

It's obviously like killing chickens with a sledgehammer and using anti-aircraft guns to kill mosquitoes.

His current brain reaction index is as high as 3039.8, and he sees people in slow motion. When dealing with authentic level three professionals, he is simply a bully.

He even had to deliberately suppress his abilities to prevent him from accidentally exposing his sixth sense, lest it be too shocking.

Ten minutes later, everyone believed his "wild words".

No matter what profession he is in, no matter how close his parameters are to level four, there is almost no one who can defeat him.

After defeating the crowd, Ren Zhong announced his citizenship on his own.

Many semi-professional captains looked sideways. Even the fourth-level semi-professional captains who were originally a little too conceited and only superficially complimented Ren Zhong and others as country bumpkins also changed their attitudes and became sincere.

This episode alarmed Yang Bingzhong, who was spending a lot of money to quickly recruit troops, trying to quickly fill the gap in hunting capabilities caused by his predecessor's chromium carbon resources taking away too many top teams.

He immediately contacted Ren Zhong personally, and after confirming that Ren Zhong actually defeated several semi-professional captains who were extremely close to the fourth level with an output power of "a mere three hundred and sixty kilowatts", he said: "Ren Zhong, you..." Your fighting ability really surprised me, what is your current brain-machine synchronization rate?"

"Reporting to Mr. Yang, it is 39%. As for my combat ability, it actually comes from the personal training given to me by Captain Ma Xiaoling, alas."

"I understand. In this way, you can lead the team and accompany others to complete the survey today. But starting from tomorrow, you should not go out hunting."

"Why? I don't need to complete the quota tasks anymore?"

"No, with your talent, you have a chance to reach level six within five years! You will become the trump card among the trump cards in my hand! I don't want you to die early. Now you should continue to strengthen your training until you can carry power every day Until the growth rate shows a significant decline. The best metal should be polished first and become the sharpest sword before it is unsheathed!"

Yang Bingzhong laughed like this.

"Thank you, Mr. Yang!"

Ren Zhong said gratefully.

"You're welcome. You are a citizen after all, and you have a ten-year contract with me. Naturally, I should treat you differently from others."

Yang Bingzhong added: "I made a fortune. The hunting quota is not a problem at all. At worst, I recruit a few more level 5 professionals to form a hunting team, and it is not a problem at all. Hahahaha!"

Element awareness.

Ren Zhong's pupils shrank and he secretly sucked in the cold air.

Obviously, after completing last night's transaction, Yang Bingzhong became rich overnight.

He had been dormant in Xinghuo Town for sixteen years, and he turned into a dragon when he came into the limelight. When he came to this new place, even fifth-level professionals dared to covet him.

Just a few of them opened their mouths!

What a wealth!

How much money did Yang Bingzhong make last night?

What the hell is in my Qingfeng heavy truck?

Ren Zhong grinned slightly and said with a smile: "I am really lucky to follow you, Mr. Yang, for eight lifetimes."

"Hahaha, that's it for now. I'm done. Another level five gunsmith came to see me, hahahahaha!"

After hanging up the phone, Ren Zhong turned around and looked meaningfully into the distance.

Over there, a small airship was landing rapidly over the huge submarine building.

He never pretends to be meaningless.

The reason why he showed off his hair today was not to establish his authority, but to give Yang Bingzhong a good idea of ​​his "combat talent", and then induce Yang Bingzhong to re-evaluate his potential value, and then gain time and freedom.

There wasn't much time left for him, and with a huge sum of four million in hand, he didn't want to waste his precious time on inefficient hunting of beasts and other trivial matters.

Unexpectedly, I captured new information by the way.

This time, it’s worth pretending.
