Instead of answering, Ren Zhong jumped off the car and pointed at a palm-sized footprint on the ground, "Look here."
The others crowded around to scrutinize it.
Ren Zhong began explaining: "The ruined beast that left the track is not small, its body size is at least about a meter. It is recorded in the ruined beast database. When a large number of First Level rat-type ruined beasts gather, there is a certain likelihood of evolving a Second Level individual—the Crystal Armor Longtail Giant Rat. This rat type is covered with crystal scales, extremely tough and smooth, virtually immune to kinetic energy bullets. But it’s not invincible. Its greatest flaw is a low resistance to flames, same as ordinary animals."
Listening to his conventional operation, the others once again revered his astonishing observational skills.
After the miraculous battle with the Blade Mantis, this method of deducing the type of ruined beast from traces on the ground seemed almost normal.
Unlike the thrilling last-minute improvisation in the previous battle, the preparations this time were much more relaxed for everyone.
Just as Ou Youning was about to complete the incendiary bomb, Bei Lihui arrived with a whirlwind.
...
"You gotta be kidding me, right? After two hours, this is all you managed to get?"
Opening Chen Hanyu’s box, Bei Lihui frowned tightly, casting a scrutinizing look at Zheng Tian.
Zheng Tian, who had already had Wen Lei open the car compartment, pointed to the empty cargo hold and said helplessly, "Brother Hui, look. This morning was really unlucky. Sigh. If you don’t believe it, you can check our vehicle’s black box, see our patrol route, and know we really didn’t slack off."
"Fine. Remember what I said and take care of yourselves."
Grabbing two pieces of Crystal Chip, Bei Lihui quickly left.
Watching Bei Lihui’s uninterested departing figure, Ren Zhong slightly turned and looked back.
A meaningful smile spread across his face.
So what if you’re big and strong?
I can still make you drink my foot bath water.
Let you squat on us!
Coming and going like this, you’ll only make 4 points, can’t even recover your time cost.
Bah!
Zheng Tian returned to Ren Zhong’s side, not daring to ask more or say anything.
But Ren Zhong saw a faint sense of relief and mischievous joy on her face.
The morning’s poor business did, indeed, turn a misfortune into a blessing.
Only lost two pieces of Crystal Chip.
Delightful.
After waiting a few more minutes to ensure Bei Lihui wouldn’t come back, Ren Zhong beckoned, "Come over. Let’s draft a battle plan. Later, you’ll do as follows..."
After Ren Zhong explained, Zheng Tian was the first to oppose, "No way, Ren ge, don’t joke. It’s too risky. You just put on the armor!"
Ou Youning also said, "Yeah, Ren ge, you can’t get into trouble.
Bai Feng said nothing, only furrowing his brows, seemingly dissatisfied that the task he should have completed was taken away.
Wen Lei thought for a moment, wanting to speak several times but ultimately said nothing.
Somehow, he had great confidence in Ren Zhong.
He didn’t know where this confidence came from.
Perhaps from Ren Zhong’s talent, or perhaps from the ever-present calm demeanor this gentleman displayed.
