In the early morning of the next day, at five thirty, having slept for just over three hours, Ren Zhong woke up amidst the noise and clamor.
The voices boiling over outside the door rose and fell.
Occasionally, people passed by while talking.
A loud, booming voice, a sharp woman's curses, fierce quarrels erupting over unknown reasons...
A group leaves, then another group passes by, the crowd as numerous as an army passing through a border.
Such yelling echoed for over ten minutes, almost to the point where the severely sleep-deprived Ren Zhong began to hallucinate, thinking he was sleeping in a vegetable market.
He felt like jumping up and swearing, but ultimately didn't.
He only squinted his eyes slightly, quietly observing those low-quality individuals passing by the door.
Zheng Tian chose a good place.
No matter if they were male or female, those passing outside the door were in their prime, energetic with weapons and bags carried along, completely different from the downtrodden grassroots wanderers.
Clearly, most of those staying in this communal sleep capsule, like Zheng Tian's team, were Scavengers. They ventured into the wild during the day, possessing a certain combat capability, making a living by hunting Ruined Beasts.
So, the security factor of this capsule should be relatively high, safety ensured, but the sleep quality was worrying.
Ren Zhong was very irritated, but there was nothing he could do.
It wasn't that he didn't want to get up and scold someone, but he didn't dare.
Regardless of the noisy commotion outside, Zheng Tian, Hanyu, Wen Lei, and others slept soundly.
If he were to jump out and scold the street now, he'd be out of step with the group once again.
Finally, after about half an hour, no one passed by outside.
He thought he could finally get a bit more sleep, but unexpectedly, a loud clang sounded in his room.
Ren Zhong turned his head slightly, squinting towards the source of the noise.
Oh my!
Wen Lei was awake.
When wearing full armor, Ren Zhong didn't feel he was that massive.
Now he could see.
Wen Lei was hunching over, his head bowed deeply, rubbing his head in frustration.
The loud noise just now was due to this giant hitting his head on the ceiling while getting up.
Ren Zhong calculated, Wen Lei must be at least six foot seven.
"Damn it. Can't they make these damn sleep capsules a bit taller."
Wen Lei grumbled.
"Aren't you just foolish, hitting your head every time you get up? Can't you be more careful?"
The voice of sharp-featured, narrow-eyed Ou Youning came.
Wen Lei: "Mind your own business! You're such a blabbermouth."
The two then started arguing.
Ren Zhong was at his wit's end.
A little later, another voice joined in.
Great, the long-armed Bai Feng was also awake.
Bai Feng wasn't a decent fellow either.
He didn't join in Wen Lei and Ou Youning's bickering, but instead pulled out a box from under the bed, and then fished out a sharpening stone from it, seriously sharpening his nails, making a sound that was like knives being sharpened, setting one's teeth on edge.
Ren Zhong affectionately greeted Bai Feng's family in his mind.
After a while again, Hanyu, sleeping diagonally across from Ren Zhong and head-to-head with Zheng Tian, suddenly opened her eyes.
In just a second, her gaze shifted from the confusion of just waking up to clarity.
Then she snapped upright, pulled a tablet from under her pillow, and started reading the information.
Ren Zhong sharply captured this scene.
At a glance, the information displayed on Hanyu's tablet seemed to be some sort of dissected model of a Ruined Beast.
Ren Zhong was astonished.
Astonished not by Hanyu's diligence, but by how absurdly short the transition time was from deep sleep to full alertness and focused study.
This defied the instinctual structure of the human body!
Even Einstein wouldn't operate like this!
Unknowingly, time moved to six o'clock in the morning, and Zheng Tian, lying directly opposite Ren Zhong, also woke up.
The baby-faced person demonstrated what's called taking flight in a second.
Eyes opened, sprang up from bed, quickly fetched a tablet, opened it, and inside was a three-dimensional map of a 300-kilometer radius near Starfire Town.
