Chapter 254: Chapter 119: The Immense Potential Danger of High-IQ Criminals_3

The deformed cylindrical tank behind the drill was spray-painted with the number 12.

This was Ren Zhong’s No. 12 Excavator!

The air froze for a moment.

"The anti-gravity engine of this excavator is not running, hurry and pull it in!"

Five minutes later, a dust-covered Ren Zhong crawled out of the cockpit.

"Stand there and don’t move, we’ll interrogate you later."

Yu Junren waved a hand.

Ren Zhong stood next to Lin Wang, hands together, looking as nervous as a schoolboy who had done something wrong.

Lin Wang gaped at him, speechless and choked for a moment.

God knows what he was thinking at that moment.

So after all this, this guy just escaped by driving a Screw Rock Excavator!

Is that why we found nothing after dissecting the leech?

Then what the hell did I spend that half a million on?

What was I even thinking?

What the hell!

Wait, why does Ren Zhong look like he’s trying to hold back a laugh?

Is near-death escape really that amusing?

Lin Wang had a million questions but couldn’t conveniently ask them.

On the other side, the repair crew swarmed over.

"The core equipment of the cockpit is intact! The Ghost Communication Device’s link cable was torn out by this fool, but it wasn’t damaged!"

"The power cabin is intact!"

"The analysis cabin is intact!"

"The internal equipment of the intelligence cabin is intact! Only the main link line is severed!"

...

Reports of good news kept coming in.

Just over ten minutes later, the repair team leader concluded, "All core equipment is intact; it will be fully repaired by tomorrow evening, and the day after, it can resume normal operation."

Yu Junren breathed a sigh of relief, secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and then returned to Lin Wang and Ren Zhong.

He stared at Ren Zhong.

"Tell us what happened and how you escaped."

Ren Zhong swallowed, extended his hand, and opened it to reveal a Ruined Beast kangaroo pouch, "Mr. Yu, I found this."

Yu Junren quickly grabbed the pouch from Ren Zhong’s hand, "I asked how you escaped; what’s important if you found a mineral stone source? Someone already... huh. Dr. Tang, can you come here?"

Five minutes later, Dr. Tang gave an evaluation, "This is a Second Level mineral source stone. It’s the largest piece found in the mining operations of the main company in the last five years. It can be used for..."

Yu Junren waved him off, "Alright, I understand."

After saying that, he directed his attention back to Ren Zhong, and with a smiling face said, "As per regulations, our company will purchase this Second Level mineral source stone from you at a fair price of 500,000. Like the female mining worker yesterday, your money has already been transferred to your account through a special channel."

Ren Zhong nodded; his wrist watch had already received the notification.

450,000 points had been credited, with the additional 50,000 points deducted as Starfire Resources’ commission.

This sum was a personal income for this ’lucky player’, bypassing Lin Wang’s professional team account.

Next, Ren Zhong explained everything "from start to finish".

"At that time, I just randomly picked a direction to flee, not knowing what happened. After the leech caught up to me, it only struck me once, then stayed still there."

"Before the scanner failed, I vaguely saw it seem to leap towards a radiation point, squatting on it motionless. Then a lot of my smart devices suddenly malfunctioned. I couldn’t repair them, so I switched to manual mode and cautiously slipped away."

At this, Yu Junren interjected.

With regret on his face, he said, "There should be another mineral source stone there, but the leech probably swallowed it, unlucky."

Lin Wang added, "Earlier, we did observe the Energy Level Index of the leech rising quickly, which was very unusual."

Ren Zhong: "Uh..."

Yu Junren: "You continue."

"I was afraid of attracting its attention, so I didn’t dare to push full throttle. Without the Ghost Communication Device’s navigation, I could only wander around based on gut feeling. After roughly an hour, the Radiation Detector gave a signal."

"I thought this signal was very similar to the mineral source stone radiation described in the operation manual, so I bravely went to check it out, and unexpectedly, I actually picked one up. Then I wandered aimlessly for a long time. Finally, I approached here following the Earthquake Detector’s indication. The ground shock caused by the captain’s earlier return guided me. Thanks to heaven, I really got the direction right."

Ren Zhong’s explanation was very reasonable and flawless.

Subsequently, Yu Junren called a psychology expert for a Q&A lie detector test for Ren Zhong in the interrogation room.

Ren Zhong passed completely and saw Lin Wang outside the interrogation room.

To be frank, Lin Wang’s emotions were very complex at that moment.
