Chapter 263: Chapter 122: No Need to Thank Me, Saving the Captain is Justified_3

Bei Lihui leaped up immediately, grabbing onto the support frame of Ren Zhong’s jetski.

The next second, Ren Zhong activated the jet-powered acceleration and overload power system, which had cost 30,000 points to modify. The jetski shot out like a bullet, heading straight towards Si Mawan’s direction.

In the end, the jetski carrying three people and a vehicle almost reached the valley entrance at the same time as Si Mawan before breaking down.

Ren Zhong crashed the vehicle, and the injuries on his body were from this incident.

Lin Wang and Bei Lihui, however, each displayed their unique skills, one spinning on the ground, the other leaping with the help of an anti-gravity engine.

...

"Captain, you are as kind as a mountain to me. I panicked and ran at first, but once I came to my senses, I realized I was wrong. How could I flee in the face of danger? I started thinking of solutions, and once I thought of one, I knew I had to try."

"To be honest, that Information Flow Interference Bomb you threw really saved the day. When did you get it?"

"Just the day after we encountered the leeches. Manager Ju told me I was weak and had no ability to protect myself against advanced Ruined Beasts, so he introduced a traveling merchant to sell me one as a safeguard. I didn’t expect it to be so useful today; it was pure luck."

Lin Wang was silent for a few seconds, filled with emotion, "Being able to make a critical judgment at a crucial moment isn’t something luck can explain. In any case, Ren Zhong, thank you for saving my life this time."

"Captain, please don’t say that."

Lin Wang said nothing more, but his heart was filled with mixed emotions.

He was indeed deeply shocked.

If he were in Ren Zhong’s place in that situation, there’s no way he would have turned back for a rescue; he would have run as fast as he could.

When facing an undefeatable opponent, sticking to one’s fate is the survival rule of the Scavenger Team. Si Mawan adheres to this style, and there’s nothing to criticize.

Just a moment ago, he used his captain privileges to tamper with Pan Fenglian and Song Qianlian’s jetskis, letting them fall behind as a rearguard, which is also beyond reproach.

If push came to shove, he would have been willing to sell out even Bei Lihui.

Lin Wang secretly thought that this was probably the biggest difference between Citizens and wilderness people, just like the view on love.

"Alright, although the situation is critical, we miraculously didn’t suffer any serious injuries. Our jetski is broken, so we only have Si Mawan’s. Let me see if there’s any convoy nearby we can contact."

Lin Wang called out.

Ren Zhong suddenly shouted with surprise and joy, "What a coincidence! The traveling merchant Wang Zhaofu, from whom I bought the interference bomb a few days ago, is nearby. He has an Armed Escort Vehicle! I’ve notified him, and he’ll be here in about ten minutes!"

Lin Wang was taken aback.

Such a coincidence?

He instinctively felt something was off, but couldn’t pinpoint what it was.

The shortcut decision was made last minute after receiving Yang Bingzhong’s call this morning, without any advice from others.

It was all his spontaneous decision, unrelated to anyone else.

Evidently, there couldn’t be any conspiracy as Ren Zhong just risked his life to rescue him.

"Alright then, the Armed Escort Vehicle is faster than our jetskis, which saves us some trouble."

Lin Wang waved his hand.

At this moment, Bei Lihui warmly and amiably approached Ren Zhong, "Ren Zhong, I have to apologize to you; I underestimated you."

Ren Zhong grinned widely, "Hui Bro, you’re too kind."

Bei Lihui laughed heartily, "Then let’s let bygones be bygones with a smile between us!"

"What are you talking about, Hui Bro? There’s no feud between us!"

"Hahaha, true, true."

Bei Lihui laughed genuinely and happily.

It seems he quickly recovered from the blow of losing a bed companion.

Indeed, for these people, the greatest joy in the world is escaping death, which is more important than anything else.

Ren Zhong turned to Lin Wang beside him and seemed to ask casually, "Captain, you mentioned that Starfire Town has no future earlier, is it because this Pu Cha won’t pass? What happened?"

Lin Wang thought for a moment and said, "There’s no need to hide it from you. Anyway, in less than a month when General Manager Yang moves out, the truth will be revealed. This Pu Cha for Starfire Town won’t pass. It has something to do with the Chenhui Mine."

"Ah?"

"You’ve seen the scale of the Chenhui Mine, what’s your impression?"

Ren Zhong recalled, "It’s large, enough for at least ten years of extraction."

In the past, the Starfire Mine, which was only half the size of the Chenhui Mine, was mined for a full 36 years.

But now, two hundred years later, Purple Crystal Mining hasn’t made much progress technologically, yet the number of large machines and advanced equipment from interstellar trade has increased significantly, so Ren Zhong made a conservative estimate.
