For example, originally six teams were affiliated under Lin Wang, and later one of his half-professional captains defected to him. This person had always been a Balanced chanical Warrior, but in this battle, due to severe equipnt damage, the logistics couldn’t send replacent parts in ti. So he simply picked up the Defensive Heavy Armor of a fallen comrade nearby.
Unexpectedly, with this change of equipnt, he imdiately realized he’d been on the wrong path all along.
With incredibly fast reflexes and a composed mindset, he, at a re Second Level, with the assistance of a few comrades, held a shield and withstood the fierce onslaught of three Third Level Ruined Beasts, transforming into an iron wall atop the castle. He held on for a full two minutes until reinforcents arrived.
So, what if next ti we cultivate this person towards becoming a Heavy Defense Warrior early on?
All these details will be rembered by Ren Zhong and used for improvent next ti.
He will transform into a humanoid intelligent AI Commander, executing refined comprehensive control.
Ren Zhong is now getting better at stealing things from the crevices of ti.
This direction for detail improvent is one of the "wealth" he seeks this ti.
He kept busy like this until 5:57 AM, when the hypnosis was about to end, and only then did he finish recording all the important details from yesterday.
Day 120, 6 AM, Ren Zhong suddenly opened his eyes.
He didn’t rush to get up and wash but instead had a brief exchange with Zheng Tian, who had just woken up as well.
He stopped Zheng Tian from planning to form a second Suicide Squad around Jiang Kai and Shi Xuan for an execution operation.
"Yesterday’s execution operation failed not because of insufficient strength, but because the ngdu Group doesn’t follow the rules. This isn’t a fair confrontation. When we’re only dealing with ordinary Ruined Beasts, it’s just a confrontation between humans and beasts, seemingly fair. But when we execute beheading operations, we have to face the unusually strong defensive forces that the ngdu Group assigns to the Legion Beast. The ngdu Group knows the situation in the town very well and will definitely have targeted plans. Even if all the Professionals above Fourth Level form an elite squad and go all out, it’s impossible to surpass the upper limit of the Legion Beast’s defense forces."
Zheng Tian suddenly realized this and broke out in a cold sweat, "Understood, thank you, Ren Brother, for the reminder. I almost made a big mistake. Alas, before I heard you ntion the radiation range of the Legion Beast, knowing that it certainly couldn’t stray far, I always wanted to use this as a breakthrough point, I was overthinking. I wish I had known yesterday..."
Ren Zhong shook his head again, "Your first test yesterday was not a problem. Without testing, naturally, you won’t know if it’s wrong. Keep trying, and you’ll eventually find a solution."
"Unfortunately, after yesterday’s battle, we’ve consud a lot of our ammunition reserves, and the Scavengers are physically and ntally exhausted, inevitably suffering so damage. I’m afraid..."
"Fear is human instinct, but when fear does not increase the hope of solving the problem, it is aningless."
Zheng Tian: "I understand."
"Mm, go ahead."
After ending the communication with Zheng Tian, Ren Zhong had another conversation with Ma Dafu, mainly about the situation of the families of those killed in action.
Ma Dafu’s words carried a hint of compassion, and Ren Zhong wasn’t much different.
He rely appeared calm, but in fact, he was more touched than anyone else.
This large-scale Beast Tide siege war was a first for many Scavengers, but it was also the first ti Ren Zhong witnessed real war.
Unlike the people of Source Star who grew up in the era of cannibalism, Ren Zhong still had a soul from the peaceful 21st century inside him.
He had seen war in many films and had seriously pondered over so disaster histories at the turn of the century, thinking he had empathized well, could feel the cruelty of war, and empathize with the fate of civilians caught in disasters.
But now that he was truly part of it and beca an "inducing factor" causing this disaster, he realized how pale and hollow his previous empathy was.
When soone who still counts as a person sees one after another die because of him, the heart skips a beat, blood heats up, and the cerebral cortex is constantly bombarded by adrenaline, causing continuous tingling.
When reviewing the casualty records, to capture details, he didn’t cold-bloodedly just look at textual files but carefully reviewed the holographic recordings, trying to analyze the subtle clues within.
He succeeded and noted down many improvent ideas.
But his mind was uncontrollably filled with images of too many people being torn apart by Ruined Beasts, bodies pierced through, writhing in agony on the ground with pained screams just before dying.
Even knowing all this could be reset, those bloody images continued to assault his soul ti and again.
That was hell, both irrelevant to him and caused by him.
Another day of a bloody and bitter fight.
Ti unknowingly slipped into the evening again.
The town hospital was long since overcrowded.
On this day, the Legion Beast again produced a large quantity of Ruined Beasts from the "Void," with an average level even higher than yesterday’s 1.4, reaching 1.9.
The number of deaths in Starfire Town soared from hundreds yesterday to thousands.
So people Ren Zhong once knew were already deceased.
Shi Lin, Jiang Kai, several half-professional captains, Yang Yi...
In the weary eyes of the city wall defenders, the azure remnant sun on the horizon seed a bit reddish.
That was the blood shed by comrades and themselves on the city wall, reflecting the blue sun’s light.
However, as if with endless sources, the Legion Beast gave no ti for humans to breathe. The Beast Tide in the evening did not weaken; instead, its intensity continued to increase.
Everyone in the command sequence knew that tonight might see a repeat of last night’s situation, with more high-rank Ruined Beasts ambushing under the cover of night.
But tonight, there were no pre-set array-style high-explosive traps.
Ma Xiaoling asked Ren Zhong what to do.
Ren Zhong couldn’t answer her question, only gave instructions in a seemingly indifferent tone, "Inform all adult Scavengers to go to the Military Weapon Store to collect firearms and ammunition. We must give the Scavengers who fought for two days enough rest, or there will inevitably be complete annihilation tomorrow. Tonight, it has to hold with these people."
Ma Xiaoling asked again, "When on earth are you coming back? What exactly are you waiting for?"
Ren Zhong was taken aback, "What am I waiting for?"
He did not answer Ma Xiaoling.
In fact, besides observing the war, he was waiting for the ngdu Group’s second trump card.
Currently, the Beast Tide was only intense, but no other anomalies appeared yet.
Ren Zhong believed the ngdu Group could not have only this preparation, and there must be so other trump card he hadn’t seen yet.
Even if this ti can’t be won, at least he must hold on to see it.
That night, Burrowing Ruined Beasts infiltrated the rest area.
Yujin, Ou Youning, Wang Zhaofu died in their sleep.
Ren Zhong was deeply saddened; he had actually also prepared Life-or-death dicine for Yujin and others, but dying in one’s sleep was too sudden, even catching him off guard.
Moreover, the lower-level Scavengers without Professional capabilities suffered heavy casualties.
In just one day, the death toll exceeded 30,000.
However, the wall still stood.
The line was still unbroken.
...
Another day dawned, ti unknowingly reached the third day, the 121st day of the Ren Zhong Era, and with the blue sun climbing over the horizon, the ngdu Group’s second trump card finally surfaced.
Ren Zhong got up early, cleaned up, and began mounting equipnt piece by piece under chanical assistance.
The ngdu Group was actually also waiting for Ren Zhong’s trump card.
Nobody knew that he actually had no trump card; he himself was the trump card.
