Resurrection Empire

During the rest of the journey, Ren Zhong had no intention of talking. He just pretended to be too tired and closed his eyes to fall asleep, but in fact he was analyzing the situation in his mind.

One bright spot after another emerged in his mind.

A watch should be equivalent to an ID card. With a watch, there is an identity.

If an unidentified person encounters a hunter, his or her brain will be removed without any hesitation.

If so, then he is considered a human being and has the right to live.

In addition, since your watch has the word "temporary" as the prefix, it must be time-sensitive, like insurance, which must be renewed after it expires.

The way for Huang Ren to obtain a temporary watch is to hand over the chip obtained from the Ruin Beast to the Hunter. The method of renewal should be similar.

To clarify, if there is a temporary watch, there must be a permanent one. That distance is too far, so I won’t try to figure it out for now.

In the previous death, Ou Youning, with his sharp face and narrow eyes, mentioned a key word, "deserted man".

Combine the information to get the answer.

In this world, people can be broadly divided into three categories.

Those who have a permanent watch, the highest class.

He who has a makeshift watch and he who does not have a makeshift watch are both desolate people. But the former has more status and is barely considered a human being. The latter will die if caught by predators, and is a "brain cultivation machine".

The reason why the hunter attacked him before he came up was because he was with five other people with identities. These people were equivalent to guaranteeing him and then paid the chip in time.

Then, Ou Youning also said that the quota for deserters in Xinghuo Town was full, and even if he was rescued, he would still die in a few months.

Make judgments based on the actual situation that you have inspected before.

It is known that in addition to hunters, the wild is also filled with a large number of ruin beasts such as crystal wing flies. The living environment for ordinary people is extremely harsh.

Then the town is considered a safe zone, but the number of people it can accommodate is limited. It can be exceeded in normal times, but there must be a mechanism for regular review.

Those who exceed the quota will be eliminated in some way.

The way of elimination may be to be kicked out of the town, or it may be some other way, but you can guess with your toes that the end will not be good.

The watches on the hands of Zheng Tian and others are exactly the same as hers, and it is speculated that they may also be "deserted people with quotas."

However, judging from their confident tone when talking about this matter, it can be inferred that they should be old people in Spark Town, have a certain social status, and have no anxiety about being eliminated.

Ren Zhong suddenly felt a little bit of the essence of this planet through Pianban Zhibao.

He felt both inexplicable fear and anger, and there was even a hint of unspeakable sadness in his heart.

This world is full of malice towards those who are incapable of fighting.

In front of the hunter, the desert man is really not a human being, he is just a tool, being driven forward like a pig.

The value of Huangren's existence is either to be forced to hunt ruin beasts and provide resources called chips, or to produce "brains".

Their essence is that they are tools that can be killed, killed, and taken away at will.

And even if you are lucky enough to enter the urban safety zone, you still cannot escape the regular harvest of another review mechanism.

But Ren Zhong also found loopholes in his reasoning.

What about the newborn baby? What do these kids have to offer besides brains?

If this rule were strictly enforced, I'm afraid everyone in this world would have died long ago.

With such doubts, Ren Zhong sat in a suspended truck and entered Spark Town surrounded by high metal walls.

The car parked at the entrance of the town.

Chen Hanyu, Bai Feng, and Ou Youning got out of the car first.

Ren Zhong was hesitating about where to go when Zheng Tian said: "Brother Ren Zhong, don't leave yet. Let's go to Xinghuo Resource Recycling Company to sell today's harvest. Then you have to go to the town house with me. The new deserter must You can only stay overnight in the town after reporting it to the mayor."

"Okay. Thank you."

"Hey, why are you so polite to me? Although you can go by yourself, it will be better if I am the introducer."

"Yeah." Ren Zhong just smiled and nodded.

He felt uncomfortable with Zheng Tian's enthusiasm.

She's really good at pretending.

If he hadn't been abandoned like a broom before, he might really be moved by the other party's warmth and sigh in his heart that there is true love in the world.

Unfortunately……

No matter how good you are at acting, you will never be able to act like Time in the Demonic Mirror.

After a few people got out, the space in the back of the car became spacious again. Ren Zhong sat by the window and looked outside through the window.

At a glance, he almost thought it was an illusion.

The town of the future? That's it?

He has already seen anti-gravity suspension vehicles and aircraft, and he has also seen Chen Hanyu's pair of gloves whose principle is unknown, but it is obvious at a glance that they are extremely high-tech.

The full-coverage armor on Wen Lei also made him jealous and full of curiosity.

Ren Zhong has established a general reasoning and imagination about the technological background of this era.

But in this town, the first thing that catches your eye is a world that rivals the slums of Mumbai.

Shacks made of asbestos tiles, old metal plates, wooden boards, withered yellow thatch and other messy materials are arranged in a staggered manner.

Under the eaves of the grinning shack, colorful clothes were hung on a clothesline strung with iron wires.

These clothes fluttered in the wind and swayed.

The street was crowded with pedestrians in shabby clothes and numb expressions, walking in the same direction like zombies. There were men and women, old and young, just like the corpse drivers passing through Xiangxi in the middle of the night.

Many people look disheveled and look malnourished.

Ren Zhong was confused.

The urban environment, the mental state and material conditions of ordinary residents are extremely inconsistent with the scientific and technological background of the times that he figured out, and are full of contradictions.

The hover truck moved forward for about a kilometer.

The "scenery" Ren Zhongzai saw along the way was very different.

He didn't know how to comment.

If this is the life of human beings in the future, it is better to turn back the time to 2020.

That year, 1.4 billion people had just used the efforts of three generations to completely bring the 5,000-year-old country out of the gloom, and completely eradicated extreme poverty from a territory of 9.6 million square kilometers.

But now, I don't know how many years later, the dual spiritual and material deprivation still hangs over this small town.

Suddenly, the scene in front of Ren Zhong suddenly changed.

The slums suddenly disappeared, replaced by neat white walls on both sides of the road.

White walls blocked his view.

About a minute further forward, he saw a tall one-piece alloy building.

There are no gaps on the surface of the streamlined building lying on the ground. The upper part is made of transparent material, and the lower part is made of black-glossy metal plates.

There are no traces of rivets or welding on the metal plate, and there are large floor-to-ceiling windows every few meters.

At first glance, this building looks like a huge submarine parked on the ground. It has a strong sense of technology and looks like a set in a science fiction blockbuster that Ren Zhong has watched.

The huge contrast between before and after actually gave him the illusion of time traveling spanning hundreds of years.

The car slowly stopped.

"We've arrived."

Zheng Tian said hello and jumped out of the car first.

Ren Zhong also got out of the car and looked around.

This is a spacious square.

The hover truck is parked about ten meters in front of the submarine-like building, and there are a dozen large and small vehicles next to it.

The appearance of these cars is much more serious than Zheng Tian's car.

In the direction facing the rear of the truck, there were three huge platforms.

Behind each platform stood two staff members wearing dark blue tight-fitting overalls.

Dozens of people lined up in front of one of the platforms.

People were waiting, carrying boxes or bags.

The person at the front of the queue was a well-built woman in cool clothes. She was pouring things out of her pockets.

The thing hit the alloy platform with a clang, and it looked like a pile of dismantled remains of the beast.

After she finished dumping, four snake-shaped robotic arms that looked like shower hoses stretched out from both sides of the platform and moved over the pile of debris at extremely fast speeds, dismantling and classifying them.

After unpacking, check out, leave, next move, neat and tidy.

At the same time, each part on the platform moves on its own to the conveyor belt on the side, and then is sent upward at an extremely fast speed, passing through the window hole on the side of the submarine-shaped building and entering inside.

There were no queues at the other two platforms. Instead, trucks backed up after being called. Several robotic arms pulled things out of the carriages like a swarm of demons, and then sorted and transported them.

The entire process is extremely efficient and requires almost no manual effort.

The blue-uniformed staff never moved from beginning to end, and their existence seemed to be just to maintain order.

Looking at this scene, Ren Zhong had to admit that he was very shocked.

The street we passed by on our way was like a knife, splitting the world into two distinct halves.

On one side is the barbaric atmosphere of the 19th century, and on the other side is the civilization of the 22nd century.

Not long after, it was Zheng Tian's team's turn. After the items were counted, Ren Zhong imitated Zheng Tian's movements and gently touched his watch to a place with the WIFI logo in front of the platform.

The watch on his hand sounded a bone conduction sound that only he could hear.

"Selling a crystal winged dragon corpse with 80% intactness and obtaining 0.8 contribution points."

Ren Zhong understands.

Contribution points are money in this world.

He went from being a pauper with a jingle bell to becoming a rich man with a huge fortune of 70 cents.

Very good, I made my first pot of gold as a freshman.

I just don’t know how much purchasing power 72 cents has.

He also learned something else.

Although the car of Zheng Tian's team looks shabby and unsightly among the car-owning scavenging teams, compared with those down-and-out scavengers who have no means of transportation at all and can only walk upright in the wild, Zheng Tian, ​​who owns a car, The sweet team is well-deserved to be the best.

The scavengers lined up behind one of the platforms like moving ants carrying boxes and backpacks are the real motley crew.

"There isn't even a dismantler in the team, so they can't completely remove special materials like chips and preserve them in time. These motley crews are really a waste of resources."

When leaving, Zheng Tian said so disdainfully to those still waiting in line.

She seemed to be mocking these miscellaneous troops, and also seemed to be showing off her strength in front of Ren Zhong.

Ren Zhong learned another thing by the way. The tall and plump girl named Chen Hanyu should be the so-called dismantler.

Occupational title obtained.

World view improvement progress +1.
