He was like an ant in a glass bottle, forever spinning within the algorithmic trap of Ren Zhong, inevitably moving step by step towards the ultimate conclusion, death, like rivers flowing into the sea.
As ti passed, Lin Wang felt a deep despair.
Clearly, he had higher paraters, yet he couldn’t defeat Ren Zhong.
He seed to have beco a puppet in Ren Zhong’s hands, with every move calculated and predicted by the opponent.
He had never encountered such an opponent.
He couldn’t understand.
Just over ten days ago, when Ren Zhong had just gotten his Third Level exoskeleton, he was still clumsy enough to crash into walls riding a bike.
After coming to the Chenhui Mine, although Ren Zhong had shown so improvent, Lin Wang could see clearly and considered it just passable.
But what was this now?
Ren Zhong’s rate of improvent was terrifying!
Moreover, Lin Wang had been using this set of Third Level exoskeleton equipnt for several years and had personally invested in having Ju Qingng gradually improve it to its current state.
Lin Wang was very familiar with the performance of this armor.
But he never imagined that the sa equipnt, just equipped with an amplifier, would show such a vast difference in combat power in Ren Zhong’s hands.
Even more eerie was that Ren Zhong was undoubtedly relying on the amplifier to control the armor, yet where was his delay?
None!
Absolutely none!
What was most infuriating was that compared to his own strained and frantic efforts, Ren Zhong was multitasking, fighting and bantering non-stop, with a tone that was relaxed and leisurely, carefree and composed.
...
"Captain, wasn’t it Pan Fenglian and Song Qianlian who got into trouble first, and then you wanted to cover for them?"
Lin Wang: "..."
Ren Zhong: "I might be naive, but I’m not foolish. Don’t try to argue. I understand everything, just couldn’t bear to expose it. I once treated you as comrades willing to risk life and death together, but you rely saw as a pawn. This is the first ti you’ve hurt ."
...
"Captain, you should understand, I am just a Second Level chanical Warrior. Coming to rescue you was a real risk to my life. But what about you? Look at what you’ve done?"
Lin Wang: "Second Level, my ass! You can’t possibly be just a Second Level! You’ve been pretending all along! You’re unreasonably strong!"
Ren Zhong chuckled lightly, "Captain, you know nothing of genius."
...
"Captain, you and Hui Ge have greatly disappointed ."
Lin Wang couldn’t bear it anymore, erupting in a roar, "Everyone for themselves, damn it! Disappointed, my ass! You fool!"
Taking advantage of his mont of distraction in replying, Ren Zhong seized the opportunity to initiate a combo, summoning his dual guns, and fiercely charging in, swinging the guns like rcury spilling on the ground, launching wave after wave of assaults, each more fierce than the last.
Lin Wang suddenly fell into a complete disadvantage, shouting, "I’ve recorded everything! I’ve already sent the video to Boss Yang! Boss Yang won’t let you off!"
Ren Zhong spat, "Send it! I risked my life to save you! You betrayed first! Killing you is only right and proper! If Boss Yang doesn’t understand , I’ll just leave Starfire Town!"
He kicked Lin Wang heavily in the face, sending him flying back flat on his back.
Ren Zhong’s engine spewed flas, charging forward.
In the blink of an eye, he hovered directly above Lin Wang, cold eyes piercing through the helt visor, looking down at Lin Wang beneath.
"Captain, you can die now."
Ren Zhong raised his right hand high, his face emotionless.
The tip of the javelin glinted coldly in the sunlight.
Ren Zhong’s communicator rang out with Yang Bingzhong’s cold shout, "Ren Zhong, stop!"
Ren Zhong shook his head mournfully, angered, "Boss Yang, sorry. He’s unkind, so I won’t be just! I can’t bear it any longer!"
The next mont, the javelin thrust downward, piercing through Lin Wang’s forehead.
Lin Wang, dead!
In the distant office, Yang Bingzhong stared in disbelief, slowly sitting back into the wide, soft leather chair.
He had entertained the idea of supporting Ren Zhong to restrain Lin Wang.
But he never expected that as an experienced Fourth Level chanical Warrior, second only to one in combat power within Starfire Town, Lin Wang would die in such a ridiculous manner in the hands of a Second Level Professional forcibly controlling a Third Level exoskeleton suit with an amplifier.
This world is too absurd.
Since when could a Second Level Professional leap two levels to kill a Fourth Level Professional?
Ren Zhong is more Sid ier than Sid ier!
Monster!
A real monster!
...
Ren Zhong stood at the exit of the valley’s ridge, looking back, filled with emotions.
At this mont, Lin Wang’s badly damaged full armor and a pair of silver short spears, along with Bei Lihui’s Scorpion Lion Heavy Sniper, were all packed and carried on his back.
Once, I saw you as an insurmountable chasm, just facing you made my soul tremble.
Yet now you’ve died like a henchman, not worth ntioning.
In a sense, Lin Wang, I have to thank you.
Only by stepping over your corpse have I truly seen the farther Star Sea.
If it weren’t for dealing with you, I wouldn’t have driven myself madly in this 75-day period, wouldn’t have built such a solid foundation, couldn’t have achieved what I have now, and wouldn’t have gained my current understanding.
...
"Ren Zhong, you must give a reasonable explanation. I just heard you say you’d just leave Starfire Town? You must be dreaming. Offend , Yang Bingzhong, and even if you hide on a frontier asteroid as a miner, you’re still dead."
Yang Bingzhong’s voice rang sinisterly in Ren Zhong’s ears, his anger seemingly unable to be suppressed.
The bottom-tier barren people in town were incited by Ma Dafu today, daringly surrounding the company, intending to cause him trouble.
Yang Bingzhong was not convenient to handle it personally, urgently summoned Lin Wang back, just waiting for his fearso reputation to help stabilize the situation.
Instead, Ren Zhong, the traitor, wiped out the entire team.
These damn barren people were already restless.
Once news spreads that his capable subordinate Lin Wang was wiped out, it might truly escalate from silent protest to ard uprising.
By then, he might be forced to act harshly.
It’s not that he feared he couldn’t suppress it, but he had other concerns.
Killing one barren person might lose him so money, but if too many died, causing the population to fall below the number agreed with the ngdu Group, he’d be in trouble.
anwhile, upon hearing this, Ren Zhong lanted sorrowfully, "No!"
He then spoke with a tone of ultimate despair, "Boss Yang! You can’t do this to ! You have to stand up for !"
