Lin Wang: "Dead."
Beside him, Bei Lihui snorted coldly, "It’s all thanks to you."
Ren Zhong was slightly taken aback and feigned surprise.
"I’ve been staying in Starfire Town for the past ten days and haven’t been anywhere. I don’t even know where you and your team went, so how could it be my fault?"
Although he expressed confusion, he had already deduced the conclusion from the signs on Lin Wang and Bei Lihui.
In no more than a day, Lin Wang’s team must have experienced a brutal fight for survival.
Out of the six-mber squad, only Lin Wang, Bei Lihui, and Si Mawan survived.
Blast Master Pan Fenglian and the other two had fallen.
Ren Zhong almost wanted to laugh out loud.
After all, what could be better than discovering your adversary has suffered heavy losses just before a life-and-death struggle?
But he held back his laughter and instead feigned sorrow and regret, "Oh, that’s truly unfortunate."
Bei Lihui finally couldn’t hold back any longer and raised his gun furiously.
The black muzzle of the Scorpion Lion-191 was aid straight at Ren Zhong’s chest.
At the sa ti, he cursed, "If you, the traitor, hadn’t defected to Mr. Yang without saying a word, making us furious, how could the Captain worry about you, the scoundrel, running away under the cover of night? When we took a shortcut back and recklessly intruded into a Level Five Ruined Beast’s territory, how could Pan Fenglian and the others have died! I should just shoot you..."
Lin Wang slightly raised his hand, signaling Bei Lihui to calm down.
Ren Zhong had already pieced together a lot of information.
Lin Wang had endured for half a month, never calling him for questioning, only subtly inquiring with the recycling platform staff, seemingly calm, but it was all an illusion.
He genuinely couldn’t tolerate being toyed with.
However, doubts still existed; these reasons alone were insufficient to explain why Lin Wang’s murderous intent was so strong.
But Ren Zhong wasn’t worried about not extracting information.
He had already died once at Lin Wang’s hands.
Ren Zhong knew one of Lin Wang’s vicious habits.
Lin Wang, unlike Bei Lihui, who would act impulsively and kill without artistry.
Though Lin Wang appeared refined and calm, he delighted in ntally destroying others while ting out deadly punishnt, like a cat playing with a mouse.
During the last resurrection, the reason his Pu Cha official identity leaked from Zheng Tian’s mouth was strong evidence.
Lin Wang hadn’t acted yet, he was waiting for an opportunity to psychologically destroy him.
With just a little bait, Lin Wang would surely fall for it.
Ren Zhong pretended to be nervous, rubbed his nose, and then spoke in a reluctant tone, "Taking a shortcut was your decision, not much to do with , right? And I didn’t run away, did I? Although I am sowhat connected, isn’t it too far-fetched to say I deserve to die? Besides, Captain Lin, you’re short on n now; wouldn’t it make sense to take into the team as a substitute?"
Lin Wang slightly shook his head, "I don’t need you anymore."
"Why?"
"Looks like you don’t want to die without knowing why?"
"Of course."
"Then I’ll be rciful and tell you!" Lin Wang’s tone suddenly rose, even with a hint of triumph, "Although I’ve lost three teammates because of you, I should also thank you. Because of you, I’ve made connections with the big shots from Chongyi County!"
Ren Zhong was even more puzzled, "What do you an by that?"
Lin Wang: "You’ve been acting in front of all along. You were toying with . But those who toy with , including citizens, all have to pay a price."
Ren Zhong: "Hm?"
"Guess what happened to your old fla Ju Qingng? Oh right, you two were purely platonic! I don’t know what kind of potion you gave her, but she believed you could stand up for her. Ridiculously absurd!"
This ti, Ren Zhong was indeed caught off guard.
He didn’t take his own life and death too seriously.
But suddenly hearing that Ju Qingng was also implicated, he was sowhat destabilized.
He slowly said, "I don’t understand what you’re saying."
Even with inner turmoil, his probing remained professional.
At this point, as if receiving Lin Wang’s hint, Bei Lihui stepped forward and explained the whole incident.
It turned out that after a sudden attack, Lin Wang, Bei Lihui, and Si Mawan fled in a desperate state, pursued relentlessly by a powerful Ruined Beast group controlled by a special type Level Five Ruined Beast.
In their hopelessness, the three blindly chose a direction and tentatively headed towards the nearby Chongyi County.
Just as the trio almost believed they were dood, they fortunately ran into the County Guard responsible for escorting important supplies in Chongyi County.
Upon learning that the three had just completed excavation work at a new mine as professional Scavengers, the County Guard, looking to connect with the new mine, helped rescue them and provided dical services at a fee.
