They were very nervous.
There was a kind of fear that not only grew in the heart but was etched on the bones like a relief.
Didn’t the matter end yesterday?
Today, instead of hunting in this great time, they are waiting here, why?
Everyone, including Ren Zhong, had this confusion in their hearts.
Ren Zhong had emotions that couldn’t be shared.
He was more afraid.
He feared not the other, but his own killing intent.
Today, he killed all five of Zheng Tian’s group.
Tonight, I killed Bei Lihui.
Tomorrow, he will try to give me the most miserable and humiliating death under everyone’s attention.
I can only use death to escape the death he brings to me.
Such memories are as sharp as a knife, as fiery as flames, engraved on the heart.
Usually, Ren Zhong could control his killing intent very well, but today was a special day, in this special place, and the other side had taken unusual actions.
He controlled it with great difficulty.
Sigh.
Ren Zhong quietly took a deep breath.
His heart grew colder, but his face gradually showed an increasingly enthusiastic smile.
As if sensing the gaze on him, Lin Wang and Bei Lihui raised their heads simultaneously.
Bei Lihui still had a face full of disdain, but Lin Wang’s face suddenly lit up with a smile as warm as a spring breeze.
He jumped off the jet ski and took the initiative to walk forward, "Ren Zhong, we meet again."
Ren Zhong nodded, "Hello, Captain Lin."
Lin Wang made a gesture of invitation, "Shall we have a brief chat over there?"
"Okay."
The two exchanged pleasantries for nearly fifteen minutes.
Lin Wang first apologized on behalf of Bei Lihui, saying that Bei Lihui’s attitude was problematic when forcing Zheng Tian to pay extra commissions a few days ago, but that it was also a customary rule in the town.
Ren Zhong expressed his understanding, said he didn’t mind, and praised Captain Lin for being a kind-hearted and considerate good leader.
Then, Lin Wang frankly asked Ren Zhong about his relationship with Ju Qingmeng.
Ren Zhong forthrightly "admitted" he was Ju Qingmeng’s lover.
Lin Wang then, in a seemingly casual tone, asked about his relationship with Ma Dafu.
Ren Zhong said that when he was a citizen before, he had some study in the tea ceremony and chatted casually with Ma Dafu when registering at the town.
Ma Dafu, an old tea enthusiast, shared some common language with him, occasionally meeting for tea, barely qualifying as acquaintances.
Previously, when he killed someone in public, it was also Ma Dafu who spared him the trouble.
Ren Zhong also clearly informed him that last night Ma Dafu invited him to the town hall to inquire about the Descending Demon Baby matter.
He also told Ma Dafu everything he saw and experienced firsthand.
By the end of the conversation, Lin Wang pointed out that Ren Zhong’s armor had undergone multiple modifications and was no longer ordinary First Level armor.
"You already have Second Level strength. I’ve also noticed the changes in Zheng Tian’s team recently. I think you are a talent worth cultivating. Are you interested in becoming a backup member of my team? Or I can support you in leaving Zheng Tian’s team and setting up a semi-professional team of your own."
Faced with Lin Wang’s seemingly abrupt, yet reasonable invitation, Ren Zhong’s face lit up with a smile of joy at being recognized.
He was truly happy.
This time, under his more meticulous secret operations, a new situation was opened up.
Ren Zhong thought, my micro-control is indeed extraordinary.
To become stronger, one cannot rely solely on shutting oneself in for practice; real combat is necessary to train the body, hone skills, and improve carrying power by showing some of one’s combat power externally.
Even if all practical combat is moved to the night, it’s merely self-deception.
He must frequently visit the Military Weapon Store, with his equipment constantly changing.
These things can only be hidden for a while, not forever.
Even if he doesn’t reveal his full potential, just showing the tip of the iceberg is enough to stand out among ordinary scavengers.
Moreover, the growth of Zheng Tian’s team cannot always be suppressed.
Like this time, a little too much pressure immediately led to another layer of backlash.
So from the very beginning, it was destined that he would sooner or later be noticed by Lin Wang.
But this time is different from the past.
