Chapter 49: Chapter 34: This Resentment is Endless, A Time Will Come to Ride the Wind and Cleave the Waves_2

Not far away, Ou Youning, who had stopped his work and walked back to stand alongside Ren Zhong, had a passionate and envious smile on his face, but his voice was low and gritted, "Damn it. We’ve been targeted, just as expected. Bastards. Vampires."

Ren Zhong: "What do you mean?"

Ou Youning still smiled very kindly and warmly, "We’ve got a good vehicle and a chance to climb up. These scumbags immediately come to choke us. I don’t fucking believe in any ghostly route overlap. Demand half right out the gate, damn."

Upon hearing this, Ren Zhong narrowed his eyes slightly, trying to hide the anger in his heart.

But it was difficult, and he couldn’t control the sharp glint in the depths of his eyes.

Previously, he knew about the 20% fixed commission for the professional team and the 10% everything tax, and at the time, he thought he had seen the malice of this world clearly enough.

Now he realized, it was not just King Yan who was detestable, but the little demons were even more hateful.

"Hmm?"

Brother Hui, who was taking crystal chips out of Chen Hanyu’s box, was extremely perceptive and seemed to sense the hateful gaze cast from the side and suddenly raised his head to look in the direction of Ren Zhong and Ou Youning.

Ren Zhong didn’t expect that his side glance would be noticed, quickly putting on an actor-grade smile like Ou Youning’s.

Brother Hui stared at Ren Zhong, without looking at Zheng Tian beside him, only asking, "Who is that person?"

Zheng Tian was nervous, quickly answering, "His name is Ren Zhong, a wastelander who just joined the town. I found him pretty pleasant, so I took him in."

Zheng Tian had only told Mayor Ma Dafu that Ren Zhong was the Pu Cha Officer because she knew that Ma Dafu wouldn’t compete with her for the prize, nor would he expose the Pu Cha Officer’s identity, risking falsification that would ruin prospects.

But she wasn’t as honest with the professional team member Bei Lihui.

Bei Lihui listened and, after a few seconds, finally moved his gaze away, "Alright. This person is kind of interesting."

Once Bei Lihui left, Zheng Tian walked back and cautiously asked Ren Zhong, "Brother Ren, did your expression just now look off to him?"

Ren Zhong admitted honestly, "I was a bit upset with him, what’s up? I didn’t expect him to be so sensitive, I just glanced a bit longer, is it worth it?"

Zheng Tian smiled wryly, "Bei Lihui is a Fourth Level Gunsmith, extremely vigilant. Brother Ren, you... never mind, you don’t seem to be too worried either."

As the team’s hard-earned assets had "evaporated" by almost half, the few in the team held a brief discussion and decided to keep fighting.

According to the rules, Zheng Tian’s team had already been charged an encounter tax by Bei Lihui today, so they could be let off if they met again next time.

Additionally, Ren Zhong wasn’t satisfied as he couldn’t gather 10 Contribution Points.

Time moved past two in the afternoon, and by now, the team had brought their haul back to 60 points.

Once again, trouble arose just as they prepared to leave with a final grab.

They first encountered a Second Level Rat Ruined Beast, the huge-tailed rat. This creature was as big as a calf, covered in crystalline scales and armor, and nearly immune to all types of kinetic energy bullets. Fortunately, Ren Zhong quickly checked the onboard computer to find its weakness was low resistance to fire. Then, Bai Feng risked his life to spread combustible pitch from another Ruined Beast carcass on it, which Zheng Tian then ignited to burn it alive, narrowly passing the test without incident.

Then, the real trouble came.

Bei Lihui and five other professional team members appeared again, heading straight for Zheng Tian’s team.

At first, everyone thought their target was the huge-tailed rat, but unexpectedly the real prey was Ren Zhong.

Once stable from not too far away, Bei Lihui on the motorboat, without saying a word, pulled out a Big Gun.

There were no interrogations, no reprimands, he just stopped there indifferently and coldly.

The gun muzzle pointed at Ren Zhong chillingly.

He didn’t shoot immediately, but there was only a faint cat-playing-with-mouse smile in his eyes.

The other professional team members didn’t speak either, just looking down on everyone condescendingly.

Everyone in Zheng Tian’s team was stunned on the spot.

The scene was dead silent, with only the faint sound of the motorboat engine starting.

Under the shadow of death, Ren Zhong felt like he had fallen into an ice cave, dry-mouthed.

Suddenly plunged into a life-or-death situation, he truly didn’t expect that a mere casual glance would cause a catastrophe.

"Brother Hui... Brother Hui... Why is this?" Surprisingly, it was Wen Lei who broke the silence on the scene, bracing himself to step forward, "Brother Hui, don’t be like this. Brother Ren isn’t an ordinary figure."

Bei Lihui finally responded, turning to look at Wen Lei, "Oh? Not an ordinary figure? Didn’t Zheng Tian just say he’s a wastelander? You’re lying to me?"

Zheng Tian, realizing the heat was on her, had to speak, quickly saying, "Brother Hui, I’m sorry, it’s really inconvenient for me to say. Brother Ren isn’t actually a wastelander, he’s... he’s an undercover Pu Cha Officer sent from above for an inspection."

"Pu Cha Officer?"

The leading man of the professional team was momentarily stunned, and the other members were about the same.

The next moment, the professional team members, including Bei Lihui, burst into laughter simultaneously.

The leading man collected himself the quickest, "Zheng Tian, you must be brain-burnt. First, even if there’s an undercover Pu Cha Officer, they’d never hang out with wastelander trash like you. A Pu Cha Officer is at least a Fifth Level Citizen, do you know what that means? Second, our boss personally said, for this Pu Cha, it’s absolutely impossible for the county to send a Pu Cha Officer to Starfire Town because it’s unnecessary!"

Zheng Tian was shocked, "What!"

"Don’t be stupid, who do you think knows better, you or me? Don’t waste time, Bei Lihui, kill him."

In the next instant.

Ren Zhong entered the "Underworld God’s Eye View" again.

He saw his shattered corpse and also saw the expression on Zheng Tian’s face turning from astonishment to anger in an extremely short time, saw the pain in Wen Lei’s eyes, saw Ou Youning’s regret, Bai Feng’s indifference, and Chen Hanyu’s surprise and reluctance.

At the same time, he was also pondering in his heart.

Pu Cha Officer?

What is that?

Soon after, he crawled out of the frozen storage, his heart filled with the flames of anger.

After a long while, Ren Zhong finally stood up slowly, began skillfully dismantling the auxiliary onboard computer of the frozen storage, and then used tools to extract a neodymium magnet following the maintenance and service design diagram of the storage. He tested its magnetism—although weakened, it was still a strong magnet.

Afterwards, he walked towards the stream again.

Upon reaching the stream, he drank some water, then stepped back a bit, looked up, catching a red fruit falling from the sky in his clothes, and took a bite.

Waited a while longer, and the lymph node pain around his neck kicked in, spreading throughout his body.

Enduring it.

After a while, a second fruit fell.

But this time, Ren Zhong did not use his clothes; instead, he reached his hand out and accurately caught it, easily absorbing the impact.

Finally, he held the red fruit perfectly intact.

There was no joy or sorrow on Ren Zhong’s face, calm with indifference.

But he felt a little better inside.

Forget it, this resurrection wasn’t entirely for nothing.

During the moment he caught the first fruit, he noticed some changes.

When his attention was highly focused, the speed of the free-falling red fruit seemed to slow a bit.

This indicated that during the last resurrection, he managed to maintain a high Brain Reaction Index of 34.7 points from five days of arduous practice.

The Brain Reaction Index and memory were brought back together.

The physiological structure of the brain had not changed; it was the method of thinking and processing information that had become second nature.

After eating and drinking his fill, he got up and left, heading straight south.

He again thought of the professional team, including those scoundrels like Bei Lihui.

Damn it, Hu Hansan is back again!

I fucking swear!

Eventually, one day, I will cut you all down!
