In a sense, this is the largest scale "war" that has erupted on Source Star in the past two or three decades.
The combatants are humans and the Legion Beast indirectly controlled by the ngdu Group under the guise of experints.
The war is destined to be brutal.
Lives, precious in peaceti, will beco insignificant in the true war.
But the trigger for the war was absurd, leaving the "bystander" Ren Zhong speechless and choked up.
This was rely a massacre in the na of "scientific experintation."
In the video projection brought back by the Suicide Squad that risked their lives to penetrate deep into enemy lines for a decapitation mission, the mont Ren Zhong saw the true form of the Legion Beast, he already knew that both sides of the conflict were inextricably linked to him.
The Legion Beast controlled by the ngdu Group was indeed his "old friend" that had vanished in Shortcut Valley.
During the phase of Ren Zhong’s life, this lightning glimpse of an "old friend" played an extrely important role, critically weakening him before his final battle with Lin Wang.
Ren Zhong once thought he would never deal with it again.
Unexpectedly, after a "re two months," it returned to his life in a different way.
Unfortunately, the video footage alone couldn’t determine what level the Legion Beast was at now.
The Legion Beast was clad in a combat suit evidently made by humans.
It also wore a finely crafted helt, attached to the back of which was a massive tal ring about one and a half ters in diater.
Occasionally, halos blood on the tal ring.
Ren Zhong could only discern that it was likely a signal amplifier, its other functions unknown.
Additionally, the decapitation mission had unsurprisingly failed. The ngdu Group had equipped this rare specin with a strong defense force.
As for the human side, the connection to Ren Zhong was even deeper.
If not for him, Zheng Tian and others might have perished soon after passing the evaluation for Second Level Professionals.
If not for him, Starfire Town would have been razed to the ground nearly a month ago, and the wildlings in Starfire Town would have long been taken by the ngdu Group.
If not for him, the wildlings in Liao Yuan County’s wilderness might have continued to live seemingly safely in their respective Underground City and would die tragically soday in the future.
If not for him, Ma Dafu, Ma Xiaoling, Yujin...
In short, if not for him, everyone’s fate here would be different.
Ren Zhong wants to give others a lot.
But currently, in a sense, what he has brought to the people here is only temporary pleasure and illusory hope.
The essence of Ren Zhong’s story remains a tragedy.
More absurdly, he could have returned at any ti, yet he lied, saying his work at the Chenhui Mine was too important to leave.
Apart from slight skepticism from the Ma family’s father and daughter about his confusing behavior, including Ju Qingng, Zheng Tian, and Yujin, who stayed voluntarily, and almost all other wildlings, few voiced any opinions.
Is there any so-called "work" in the world more important than nearly 180,000 lives?
Even Ren Zhong couldn’t believe such a bullsh*t lie.
Yet most of those 180,000 lives believed it was natural!
Ren Zhong found it inconceivable.
Later, he learned the reason.
Due to his good reputation in the past, the wildlings initially had unwavering faith in his promise to "return in three days."
No one doubted that Ren Zhong would break his word.
The reason is simple; the ngdu Group had ordered that no further investnts be made in Starfire Town, even stopping the logistics center of Purple Crystal Mining, but his projects remained active.
During this ti, a residential area able to accommodate 200,000 people was fully completed.
Three new large training grounds were built.
A newly integrated comprehensive sleep pod was built.
An even larger public transport system.
Additionally, he had prepared ample dical supplies and military resources in advance.
No one would turn down such wealth.
All signs showed he was determined to protect Starfire Town.
As a result, many people quickly imagined the situation in a different light.
Mr. Ren was at the Chenhui Mine researching an ultimate solution to the problem.
In three days, he would complete his project and return with a lethal weapon capable of turning the tide, like a Heavenly God descending to rescue Starfire Town in its ti of crisis, just as he personally slew the Cold-blooded Butcher.
The reason he didn’t say this in the announcent was because it had to be kept secret from the ngdu Group, unable to be publicized.
But he surely had a plan, and all we needed to do was focus on our respective duties.
The wildlings were genuinely encouraged by his lie.
