Her man could only watch, crouching in the corner crying, and still had to prepare als for the strong man with the surna Huang.
So folded their hands, looking up at the sky, and simply said heaven must be seeing this.
Others, both grateful and nervous, secretly glanced at Ren Zhong, muttering that it takes a villain to deal with a villain.
After listening for less than two minutes, Ren Zhong felt his scalp tingle.
He felt that he had arrived too late.
This strong man nad Huang was simply a persistent nightmare for the destitute people of this street, calling him a scourge was elevating his status.
"Sir... thank you."
At so point, the young girl from the strong man Huang’s house ca out, stood in front of Ren Zhong, and thanked him with her head bowed.
The enemy was dead, but her face still bore a look of sorrow.
Ren Zhong nodded, "Did you find the dicine in his house?"
"No... no, really. If there was any, it should be yours, Sir, I... I just wanted to borrow from you."
Ren Zhong shook his head, "You’re really foolish. Alright, you wait here..."
Just then, a woman who looked about fifty or sixty, but was actually only in her thirties, ran over quickly with a look of panic and guard, grabbed the young girl, and suddenly pulled her away.
The older woman chanted like a prayer, "Go! Go quickly! No one knows anyone on this street, it’s not safe here."
The girl looked up in bewildernt, struggling, "Mom, where’s dad? What happened to him?"
"He’s already stopped breathing, the Hunters have already been here. Forget about it, let’s leave quickly!"
"Ah? Ah!" Upon hearing this, the girl imdiately lost strength in her body and no longer struggled.
Her wailing cries pierced through the night sky.
Ren Zhong rubbed his nose, not knowing what to say.
If it were before, he would have been extrely uncomfortable about this.
But he had been in the town for a while and had seen a lot.
He wasn’t numb, just passively accustod.
He also knew such things would continue to repeat every day until the world’s end.
To change the current situation, there was only one way, which was to realize his ideal.
The task is great and the road is long, nothing more than this.
From afar, a blinding white light suddenly shot over, and a whooshing wind sound approached from far away.
The bustling crowd on the street needed no warning; an instinct engraved in their souls made them quickly shut up, and they scattered to both sides of the street under the eaves, making a path.
A line of eight Floating Motorboats stread over in single file.
The look of these motorboats was sowhat similar to those of Lin Wang’s squad, but they were bigger, more agile in movent and turning, and had a conspicuous silver-white paint job.
Lin Wang’s squad’s motorboats were covered in blue paint, which offered so camouflage in the mostly blue plant environnt in the wild, but the Guard had no such need.
"Are you the murderer?"
The leading motorboat stopped in front of Ren Zhong, its bright lights turned his field of vision into a snow white, blinding him from seeing anything.
Ren Zhong didn’t mind, simply lifted his head, "I am."
"Oh, Ren Zhong, sir?"
A crisp female voice exclaid from the other side, followed by the headlights shutting off.
Ren Zhong blinked his eyes, "Also ."
With his vision restored, he saw who had co.
It was a tall female cha Warrior clad in tight-fitting silver exoskeleton armor.
She took off her helt, and a ponytail bounced up.
Her face wore a serene smile, her eyes were phoenix-like, and above them were thicker eyebrows than those of an ordinary woman, dignified and heroic.
This was the second ti Ren Zhong had seen her, but he had heard her na more than once.
The Town Guard Captain, whose initial Brain-Machine Synchronization Rate was close to 16%, currently the strongest recognized Fourth Level cha Warrior in the town, Ma Dafu’s daughter, Ma Xiaoling.
"I heard about you from my dad."
The motorboat lowered its altitude, and Ma Xiaoling jumped off simultaneously, looking Ren Zhong in the eye as she spoke.
Ren Zhong also said, "I have also heard quite a bit about you. Nice to finally et you."
Ma Xiaoling nodded slightly, casually glancing at the corpse of the strong man Huang nearby, "Although you’re an acquaintance, soone died after all. According to the report we got, you didn’t actually know this person?"
Ren Zhong did not deny, "I didn’t know him."
"Then I’m sorry, you’ll still have to co to the town office with ."
Ren Zhong: "No problem."
The other mbers of the Guard, standing behind Ma Xiaoling, ca forward silently, pulling chains out from their hands.
The onlookers on both sides of the street began to stir.
Soone was angrily asking all around who had reported them.
So were eager to jump in and say a thing or two.
In the end, everyone chose silence.
Ren Zhong was not disappointed by this; it was all within his expectations.
He didn’t bla these people because it was aningless.
But Ma Xiaoling gestured with her hand, stopping the team mbers, "No need for cuffs."
"Captain?" The mber was taken aback.
Then Ma Xiaoling turned and patted the backseat of her motorboat, "Mr. Ren, sit behind , I’ll take you. My dad said you might be a good person, so there’s no need to cuff you."
Ren Zhong was stunned, then shook his head, "Nowadays, being called a good person, I don’t even know if that’s a complint or an insult."
...
On the way, Ma Xiaoling in front of Ren Zhong lowered her voice and asked, "Mr. Ren, I want to know where you heard about the Pu Cha official."
Ren Zhong didn’t answer but asked back, "Did your father seek confirmation from Starfire Resources?"
"No, he said there’s no need. You still haven’t given an answer."
"Sorry, it’s inconvenient to disclose. But this news should be absolutely true."
"So when are you planning to leave Starfire Town?"
"I haven’t really planned that yet."
"You’re going to wait until the survey ends and the town is abolished before leaving?"
Ren Zhong shook his head, "I honestly don’t know, I can’t make a decision now."
He could feel Ma Xiaoling seed to be probing him, trying to unearth so information.
Further speculation suggested that Ma Dafu might have started investigating and found sothing, but the old man had hidden so intelligence from his daughter.
The central high tower building of the town was getting closer.
Ren Zhong couldn’t help but secretly think that the idea of making this impromptu visit to Old Ma was a smart move.
There should be new information to be gained.
So then, Comrade Old Ma, what exactly have you discovered?
Ren Zhong instinctively felt it must be sothing concerning the life and death of the twenty thousand desolate people in the town.
At the thought of this, he subconsciously clenched his fist.
"Mr. Ren, you’re holding on too tight."
"Oh, sorry!"
Earlier, when getting on the vehicle, Ma Xiaoling had told him to hold onto her waist.
The Floating Motorboat’s turns were fierce, and the person sitting in the back could easily be thrown off.
Ren Zhong thought she was wearing armor, so it didn’t count as close contact.
Moreover, there wasn’t anything possible between them, so since she offered, he didn’t refuse pretentiously.
He actually wanted to feel the external surface material of the Fourth Level cha Warrior’s exoskeleton with his fingers, to gauge its performance, but didn’t expect to be so distracted and abrupt.
