Chapter 74: Chapter 51 Everything I Care About Has Been Destroyed_3

"Mm!"

"Come on!"

"Let’s hang in there together!"

"Alright!"

Ren Zhong felt an unexpected sense of comfort in his heart.

Who would’ve thought that the desolate town’s people would reignite with vitality because of him.

Look, there is a glow of hope on their faces.

They have seen the hope of changing their fate.

It’s merely ten Contribution Points.

Alas.

Ren Zhong sighed again.

He realized he was trapped in a desperate situation.

Escape, certainly, was not possible.

Not to mention the professional team blocking the gate, even if he managed to sneak out at night, come tomorrow when the Pu Cha figure is exposed and Ma Dafu issues an official arrest warrant in fury and shame, once the Hunter is activated, he is surely doomed.

He didn’t believe he could escape the Hunter’s pursuit.

So, should I fight?

Forget it.

That would also be in vain.

What should I do?

Ren Zhong also thought that staying in the street was quite dangerous.

Now, the desolate people saw his armor color didn’t match the intelligence and dared not question him easily.

But after ten o’clock at night, the streets would be naturally empty.

Then find a place to continue hiding?

It wouldn’t mean much either.

By tomorrow morning, death awaits.

Ren Zhong sighed deeply.

He thought tonight he would become a Second Level Professional and take off, but had not imagined that after just one day, he had no place to stay under the sky.

This world is indeed interesting.

Ren Zhong looked up at the sky.

Unknowingly, he had survived on Source Star for half a month.

The dual moons in the sky had transformed from the full plates as he arrived to two serrated sickles.

This time, I’m truly doomed, aren’t I?

What kind of death should I choose?

If caught, would I be tormented painfully?

Perhaps I should just cut my throat quickly?

Ren Zhong never considered resisting.

Not because he didn’t want to, but because he was a smart person.

Smart people don’t make foolish mistakes easily; they know what is feasible and what is impossible.

A Fourth Level Professional is not a praying mantis, much less a Crystal Winged Dragonfly.

The disparity in strength is overwhelmingly vast, and the opponents are intelligent, there’s simply no breakthrough opportunity.

Without closing the absolute gap in power, no matter how many times he tries, a thousand or ten thousand, the odds of success are zero.

Besides, if resistance fails and the person gets thoroughly angered and caught, then thrown into torment, unable to live or die, that would be truly miserable.

What should I do then?

While Ren Zhong was mulling over these thoughts.

Suddenly, a loud commotion came from not far ahead.

He lifted his gaze, and in an instant, his entire body shuddered.

A young boy was lying on his back, blood covering his face.

Blood was gushing out from a gash on the top of his head.

The boy’s body was shaking futilely, a sign that his head had suffered a severe blow, causing rapid blood loss in the brain.

Within seconds, the boy stopped trembling.

Dead.

The boy’s corpse still clutched a worn-out rapid-fire rifle.

Before him, a tall man was looking down at the boy on the ground.

This fierce-looking tall man had a stubbly beard and a noticeable scar at the corner of his right eye, donning a mechanical arm, he seemed to be an independent Scavenger.

The man stood with his hands on his hips, arrogant, "Damn, I’m generous enough to sell you a gun. Still grumbling? Fool."

Swearing, he stomped on the boy’s corpse.

Then the man pocketed both hands, turned to go, while craning his neck to look around, as if searching for someone.

He spat on the boy’s face, still complaining, "Delaying my fortune."

After he left, a frail woman emerged from the crowd, her face slightly excited, bending down to snatch the gun from the boy’s hand.

After a quick glance at the gun, she disdainfully tossed it aside, "So cruel. Rusty and broken, completely useless. Is it worth ten points? That’s robbery."

Someone next to her spoke, "Isn’t it the fool’s fault for not checking before paying? Otherwise, he didn’t have to die."

"Right, silly can’t be cured, he deserved to die."

"Anyway, more than a month until Pu Cha, fools like him will die sooner or later, doesn’t matter when."

Onlookers nodded, merrily commenting.

Ren Zhong quietly watched these people’s performance.

He wanted to say, it shouldn’t be like this.

But everyone’s face was filled with cannibalistic intent.

Suddenly, loud lamentations erupted from within the crowd.

The boy’s mother staggered through the crowd and fell onto him.

Her elderly face filled with sorrow and anger, tears pouring like a torrential downpour.

But the crowd’s mockery didn’t cease, they just found another target to ridicule.

Seconds later, the Hunters arrived with a whoosh.

Driven by subconscious fear of the Hunters, the crowd quickly scattered, wanting to avoid them.

In no time, the once bustling street became deserted.

But the old woman did not leave, she spread her arms to block the Hunters, like a mother hen shielding her chicks from a hawk.

The front of the Hunters flashed coldly.

A familiar large hole appeared in the old woman’s chest.

Five seconds later, the old woman, with a perfectly round hole in her head, fell to the ground.

Another five seconds passed, the Hunter drifted forward, skillfully opened the already damaged skull of the boy, extracted the brain, and flew away.

All returned to quietness and peace.

Only the disregarded, broken gun and two corpses lay together on the street.

The cold wind entwined the boy’s tattered clothes with the yarn fallen from the old woman’s hand.

Like a world-famous painting.

At the street corner, Ren Zhong alone gazed at the boy’s corpse.

Within a day.

Zheng Tian’s ambition vanished.

Wen Lei lay exposed in the wilderness, harboring thoughts of his childhood sweetheart.

The bright eyes of the armed boy, once full of hope and dreams, were extinguished.

The life of the old mother, who intended to give her place to her son so he might live well, disintegrated.

Ren Zhong looked up at the sky again.

Everything I cared about, is destroyed.

Suddenly, his eyes reddened.

Whether due to sadness, or outrage.
