"Thirteen kiloters underground of the western peak of Rat Cliff Mountain, specific coordinates... Radiation alien ore, small reserves, strictly controlled forbidden resource. Specific composition unknown. Extrely high radiation levels, intelligent devices cannot approach within a five-kiloter radius, and communication is jamd, equivalent to an Information Flow Interference Bomb. Due to the depth of location, it is speculated that the conventional mining sche would use remote excavation with large non-intelligent machinery, or use alien technology equipnt."
"If you want to secretly mine it, you can only use manual digging. But once a person enters within a five-kiloter radius and is exposed to radiation for more than five minutes, they will experience dizziness, nausea, and then die within a few days."
Ren Zhong and Chen Hanyu exchanged a glance, their eyes then looking through the one-way glass out the car window.
There stood a towering peak.
Its current na is the western peak of Rat Cliff Mountain.
Over ten years ago, it was called the western peak of Cliff Mountain.
Back then, it wasn’t known as Rat Cliff Mountain, lacking the prefix ’Rat’.
On the road from Starfire Town to here, there was no Second Level Ruined Beast isolation zone surrounding Rat Cliff Mountain.
It’s unknown when exactly the number of Ruined Beasts around here began to increase gradually.
Ren Zhong asked what the earlier content in the booklet was.
Chen Hanyu glanced over it briefly, "It’s the process my parents used to calculate the coordinates of the alien ore based on the statistics of the nearby Ruined Beasts’ activity patterns and mutation patterns."
Ren Zhong: "Then I get it. After Yang Bingzhong killed your parents, he began manual mining."
Chen Hanyu added, "He used the resources he controlled from Starfire Resources to secretly abduct the wastelanders and then brought them here to dig manually."
Ren Zhong waved his hand, "The population in Starfire Town is decreasing. In just over a decade, it has dropped from more than 40,000 wastelanders to the current 20,000. He continuously suppressed Ma Dafu, suppressed the Scavenger’s ability to improve, and reduced the hunting resources output of Starfire Town. The purpose was to continuously reduce temporary wastelander slots, forcing more and more wastelanders to leave the town before Pu Cha approaches."
Chen Hanyu: "These people were captured and sent here."
Ren Zhong: "There must be a burial site within Rat Cliff Mountain, just like the Bone Valley. The burial site beca a great cafeteria for nearby rodent Ruined Beasts, which is why so many rodent Ruined Beasts reproduced here."
Chen Hanyu pondered, "Does the alien ore also have negative effects on Ruined Beasts, causing a large number of Second Level and a small number of Third Level Ruined Beasts to choose to stay slightly further away after maturing, resulting in only First Levels moving around Rat Cliff Mountain?"
Ren Zhong nodded, "That must be it. Additionally, the Second and Third Level Ruined Beasts outside ford a siege, making it increasingly difficult for the lower wastelanders to hunt here, so almost no one cos. The professional teams, driven away by Yang Bingzhong, must go to the abandoned mine pits, naturally they won’t co here. To guarantee absolute safety here, just ensure that the wastelanders in Starfire Town grow weaker, fewer people can afford a Thunderbolt Car, this Second Level transport tool. The fewer people that co here, the lower the chance the secret is exposed."
Chen Hanyu: "The professional team cleans out Ruined Beasts in the Bone Valley regularly but ignores this side, that must be why."
Ren Zhong: "Of course."
Chen Hanyu’s eyes widened, "Over ti, this Rat Cliff Mountain has beco a safe haven for that rat Yang Bingzhong to gnaw on the flesh and blood of Starfire Town’s residents! It’s... it’s... truly heinous! No wonder we suffer so much! Hiss..."
Ren Zhong silently added to himself.
In that previous tiline, Zheng Tian’s team had just bought the Thunderbolt Car not long ago, then Lin Wang, like a fool, led a complete annihilation against Zheng Tian, probably under Yang Bingzhong’s orders.
But after Ren Zhong’s personal rise, he also ca here during the day.
By then, he had entered Yang Bingzhong’s vision and established a reputation as a genius rising star and a network king with Lin Wang.
Lin Wang must have hesitated on whether to act and then consulted Yang Bingzhong, ultimately deciding to do nothing.
Tang Shuying and Jiang Kai’s suppression degree over attached teams and semi-professional teams was not as harsh as Lin Wang, but no one among those teams had a Thunderbolt Car either!
It goes without saying for other semi-professional Scavenger Teams in town.
Combining this with Yang Bingzhong allowing him to lead a team to hunt at Rat Cliff Mountain and his decision to relocate ahead of ti, Ren Zhong ca to a conclusion.
"The alien ore mining has already been successfully completed. Yang Bingzhong is ready to ship it. Moving to Chromium Carbon Town is just one of his reasons, the other is to use relocation as a cover for trading. After all, resource recovery companies are under the control of the Association and cannot send out unregistered trucks for no reason."
Chen Hanyu added, "I think, maybe the tasks the captured wastelanders perform also include refining and storing, after all, this thing is a forbidden resource, and it releases radiation externally."
Ren Zhong sighed, "Manual extraction, manual refining and storing, exposed to radiation and then death. Over ten years, how many people must have died!"
Chen Hanyu swallowed, "Maybe more than those who died in Bone Valley. The density of Second Level Ruined Beasts near Rat Cliff Mountain is overwhelmingly high, almost an insurmountable barrier for lower wastelanders, it’s inexplicably high."
Ren Zhong leaned back into his seat and sighed deeply, "So vicious, truly vicious. He’s been maneuvering and facilitating to sell the wastelanders of Starfire Town to the ngdu Group as guinea pigs, undoubtedly he also intended to bury any potential risk of the secret being exposed when exposed."
Chen Hanyu looked sorrowful, "I never expected, the entire matter began because of my parents."
Ren Zhong shook his head, "Your parents just discovered the alien ore, they didn’t do anything else. It was Yang Bingzhong who acted."
He finally found the direct root cause of the wastelanders’ suffering in Starfire Town, surprisingly it was this pri hunting sanctuary he’d been to countless tis.
He felt no joy, only sadness.
When thinking that these nurous rodent Ruined Beasts were founded on the flesh and blood of countless thousands of Starfire Town’s wastelanders, he felt sick to his stomach.
And his resolve to kill grew stronger.
After unraveling all the threads, he discovered that Yang Bingzhong was far more malicious than he had ever imagined.
His initial gut feeling that Yang Bingzhong was the source of all evil in Starfire Town turned out to be dead-on accurate.
