His armor changed color, turning into a deep blue.
When a naughty child painted graffiti on the wall of his house, he happened to return. The naughty child was so frightened that he dropped the bucket and ran away.
Ren Zhong picked up the bucket and took it home, thinking that he would return it to the children when he was free another day.
He quite liked the picture of the rising sun.
I originally planned to tell those children that if every painting could reach that level, then they could paint anywhere except the door.
Unexpectedly, the few cans of spray paint left behind by the naughty kid turned out to be disguised props today.
Adjust the armor mask to one-way transparent mode, and walk on the street as if there is no one around, without any hint of sneakiness.
Previously, the young man next door told him the news and left quickly.
The two of them only said that sentence.
At that time, Ren Zhong only knew one thing, and that was that his impersonation of a "census officer" had been exposed.
But following this piece of information, he analyzed a lot of information beyond the screen.
There are only a few people in the town who know the identity of the "census officer". Zheng Tian's team, Ma Dafu, and Ju Qingmeng are gone.
The news that he was wanted could not have come from the mayor Ma Dafu.
Otherwise, with the illumination of the "Eye of Sauron", everything in the town will be invisible.
In addition, if the mayor wants to find someone, he can also send a wanted warrant with a photo to everyone through the watch system.
Then I'm afraid that I, who often haunts this alley, would have been found out a long time ago.
Since the current wanted order is circulated among the deserted people in the form of gossip, then it must not be an official organization that spreads this information, but some individual groups.
Ren Zhong already had the answer in his mind, but he still needed to confirm it.
As he walked, he raised his ears to listen for messages on the street.
An hour and a half later, Ren Zhong's figure disappeared into the crowd again.
He got the answer.
During this hour and a half, he first went to the north gate of the town.
This is a random choice of direction and has no profound meaning.
But he saw Bei Lihui at the city gate.
This man was sitting on a docked motorboat with his legs crossed.
Sharp eyes scrutinized everyone walking out of the town.
When Ren Zhong passed by, Pei Lihui jumped off the motorboat and uncovered a person's mask.
Ren Zhong concealed the hostility in his eyes, and with a simple glance, he continued walking along the crossroads in front of him as if there was no one around.
He saw a pocket watch on Bei Lihui's shaking left hand, and he would occasionally throw it up and then catch it.
Under the dim lights of the city gate, the pocket watch reflected bronze light, which was particularly dazzling.
This is Wen Lei's "token of love".
Ren Zhong then strolled to the alley where the courtyard of Zheng Tian's team was located.
He didn't go inside, but just passed by the entrance of the small courtyard aimlessly.
The door was open, the inside was in a mess, the chairs were swayed here and there, and the electric motorcycle parked inside had long since disappeared.
The professional team has already come here to look for it, but to no avail.
There is also an unfamiliar professional team that is moving things inside while shouting and shouting, seemingly planning to move in.
During this whole process, Ren Zhong heard a lot of things.
These people are sighing.
It's such a pity that Zheng Tian's team was already on the verge of taking off, so why was it so unlucky that when they went hunting, they encountered a level four beast and the whole army was destroyed?
that's too regretful.
When he heard the news, Ren Zhong's pace didn't stop at all, but it didn't speed up either.
His steps were steady.
Sure enough.
It was Zheng Tian who leaked the news, and it should have been her last words in vain before she died.
But it's a pity.
Zheng Tian is very smart, an experienced scavenger captain, and very flexible. She has no principles and can bend and stretch.
Logically speaking, people like Zheng Tian should be able to live well in this world.
But she just made a wrong decision and fell into an impossible situation.
With the support of the "census officer", she made a wrong judgment on the reality.
She was so swollen that she subconsciously ignored the ruthlessness of the professional team.
There is not a single second-level professional in the semi-professional team affiliated to Lin Wang. This is not accidental, it is inevitable.
Similar "accidents" must have happened many times before.
It's just that Lin Wang and others were very quick.
Everyone has doubts in their hearts, but there is no evidence, and no one can make random suspicions and accusations.
Even if it is to communicate in private, I would not dare.
Zheng Tian must have exposed a lot of things these days.
Every time when Pei Lihui was attacked, Zheng Tian's team only made a small profit for him.
But every evening, the team had a great harvest at the resource recovery company.
Zheng Tian's account was registered in Lin Wang's name, and the capital turnover could not avoid Lin Wang's eyes.
This so-called "secret" does not actually exist.
Zheng Tian should also know this, but she was careless.
As for Ren Zhong's hunting harvest at night, he sold it through his own individual account and paid the 30% purchase tax. It seems that he should not have been discovered.
Otherwise, Lin Wang would not have endured until today and would have taken action long ago.
As expected, in the eyes of Spark Resources, the professional team is still just a tool.
Zheng Tian once said that Lin Wang and others are not citizens, so in the eyes of the middle and upper class of citizens, that is, business owners, they are actually still tools.
In addition, in order to advance to the next level, Zheng Tian's team searched for the necessary resources everywhere in the town. They took great action and their ambitions were "clearly revealed".
Even before yesterday, Lin Wang was most likely already thinking about how to deal with this disobedient affiliated team.
Yesterday during the hunt in the Bone Valley, Zheng Tian's behavior became the straw that broke the camel's back.
Various signs connected together led Lin Wang's team to perform routine operations today to eliminate hidden dangers and kill the buds.
Lin Wang does not need a tool man who is not so obedient and has ideas.
Talent or whatever, it doesn't matter, he's not training successors, he's just enslaving them.
Lin Wang just wanted to maintain his dominance in the scavenging team.
It's very reasonable and in line with the principles of this world.
It just happened that Xianyu didn't participate in the hunt today because of his heavy responsibility, so he was lucky enough to slip through the net.
Lin Wang then announced the fact that he had slipped through the net and "pretended to be a census officer" in his own name, and launched a bounty of 10 contribution points.
The reward order disclosed some important personal information, such as general facial features and armor shape.
Many people in the wilderness are eager for the bounty, so there are many more people on the street tonight, and it feels as lively as the New Year.
However, there are also some people who have no illusions about this and only regard this matter as a source of small talk.
Ren Zhong heard from these barren people again that the matter of "fake census officials" was not a trivial matter.
Many people know that the Census Officer is a mysterious position that is independent of the ordinary administrative functions of the association. It is responsible for quietly walking around and monitoring the development of various towns.
The census officer's opinions will play a key role in the annual census.
Different enumerators have different styles of doing things.
Some people like to be high-profile, while others like to remain anonymous.
Many small towns have been cold-bloodedly labeled abandoned by census officials without even knowing it.
The simple word "abandoned" is a disaster for the desolate people living in these small towns.
The power of the Census Officer is astonishing.
But the matter of impersonation is not a big deal.
After all, there are hunters in this era, and it is not easy to solve a case and hunt down someone.
As long as the evidence is conclusive and the mayor reports it, and the wanted order is uploaded to the hunter system, it will be in vain for the suspect to hide to the ends of the earth.
Since no one has been caught yet, there is no wanted order in the watch system. Even the people looking for him only know the name Ren Zhong, but they don’t have his photo, so that he can leave his alley unharmed.
It shows that the mayor of the town, Ma Dafu, has not made a clear position.
Maybe the news didn't reach the mayor's ears, or maybe he was verifying the authenticity of the news through certain channels.
Another thing that was very lucky was that in the alley where Ren Zhong lived, only the young man knew that his name was Mr. Ren, and he immediately guessed that it was him that others were looking for, so he immediately came to inform him.
Others knew the name Ren Zhong, but they had not yet been able to recognize him face to face with the wealthy new residents in the alley.
It was getting late, and Ren Zhong, who was walking among the crowd, continued to observe.
More and more people are taking to the streets, either to grab a spot in the centralized sleeping cabin or to try their luck.
Ren Zhong was in the bustling crowd, and his ears kept ringing with the chatter of many people.
"Where are you going?"
"Where has this guy gone?"
"Oh my god, there are ten contribution points. If you can get this, you will make a fortune!"
"So many people are looking for him, but there is no sign of him. Could this person have escaped?"
"Impossible! There are people guarding the gate of the town. He must not be able to escape. He must still be there."
"Do not be discouraged!"
"Um!"
"come on!"
"let's work hard together!"
"good!"
Ren Zhong felt a little relieved in his heart.
I really didn't expect that the deserted people in the lifeless town would burst out with vitality again because of him.
Look, the faces of these people are shining with the light that symbolizes hope.
They saw hope of changing their destiny.
Just ten contribution points.
well.
Ren Zhong sighed secretly again.
He found himself in a desperate situation.
Escape, there is definitely no way to escape.
Not to mention the professional team members who blocked the door, even if they did sneak out at night, when the census officer incident is completely exposed tomorrow, the furious Madafu will issue a formal arrest warrant. Once the hunter is activated, he will undoubtedly die.
He didn't believe he could escape the hunter.
So, I fought hard?
Count balls.
That is also in vain.
How to do it?
Ren Zhong felt that it was actually dangerous to continue to stay on the street.
Now that the people in the wilderness saw his armor whose color was inconsistent with the information, they did not dare to come up and question him.
But after ten o'clock at night, there was no one on the street.
Then find a place to hide?
It doesn't make any sense either.
He will still be dead by tomorrow morning.
Ren Zhong sighed.
He also said that he would officially take off as a second-level professional tonight. He didn't expect that in just one day, he would have no place in the world.
This world is really interesting.
Ren Zhong raised his head and looked up at the sky.
Unknowingly, I have lived on the Source Star for half a month.
The twin moons in the sky have also changed from the round dinner plate when they first arrived to two sickles that look like serrated teeth.
I should be dead this time.
So what kind of death should you choose?
If you are caught, will you be tortured terribly?
Why don't you just rub it on your neck?
Ren Zhong never thought of resisting at all.
It's not that he doesn't want to, but because he is a smart person.
Smart people are less likely to be stupid and know what is possible and what is impossible.
A level four professional is not a blade beetle, let alone a crystal wingfly.
The disparity in strength between the enemy and ourselves is too great, and the other party is also a smart person, so it is impossible to find a breakthrough.
Before the absolute gap in strength is narrowed, if you act recklessly a thousand times or ten thousand times, the chance of winning will be zero.
Furthermore, if you fail to resist but completely anger someone, and are caught again, then you will be locked up and pondered over whether you want to live or die, which would be really desolate.
What to do?
Just when Ren Zhong was thinking this way.
Not far ahead, there was a sudden noise.
He raised his eyes and looked forward, and his whole body was suddenly shaken.
A young man was lying on his back with blood on his head.
A stream of blood was pouring out from the gap on his head.
The boy's body was trembling in vain, which was a sign of a heavy blow to the head and excessive blood loss in the brain in a short period of time.
After only a few seconds, the boy stopped shaking.
Totally dead.
The young man's corpse also held a dilapidated rapid-fire machine gun in his hand.
In front of the young man, a tall man was looking down at the young man on the ground.
This tall man has a mechanical arm wrapped around his body and looks like he might be a scavenger.
The man put his hands on his hips and said arrogantly, "Damn it, it would be great if I was willing to sell you a gun. And you keep doing it. You idiot."
Cursing, the man stepped on the boy's body on the ground.
Then the man put his hands in his pockets, turned around and walked away. As he walked, he stretched his neck and looked around, as if he was looking for someone.
He spat on the face of the young man's corpse again, still complaining, "It's delaying my fortune."
After the man walked away, a thin woman with a sallow complexion emerged from the crowd of onlookers. With a slightly excited face, she leaned over and pulled the gun out of the young man's body.
She only took one look at the gun and threw it away with a look of disgust on her face, "It's really wicked. It's rusty and rotten and can't be used at all. How dare you sell it to someone for ten cents? Isn't this a money grab?"
Someone next to me said, "It's not because this kid is stupid. He doesn't know how to inspect the goods before paying for them. Otherwise, he wouldn't have died."
"That's right. People are stupid and have no cure. They deserve to die."
"Anyway, the census will be conducted in more than a month. People who are so stupid will die sooner or later. It doesn't matter if they die early or later."
The onlookers nodded and made various comments with smiles.
Ren Zhong watched these people's performances quietly.
He wanted to say that it shouldn't be like this.
But everyone has cannibalism written all over their faces.
Suddenly the crowd started to cry again.
The boy's mother stumbled through the crowd and threw herself in front of the boy.
The old face was full of sadness and anger, and the tears poured down like heavy rain.
But the crowd's ridicule did not stop, they had another target of ridicule.
Tens of seconds later, the hunter roared in.
Under the control of the subconscious fear of predators, the crowd quickly dispersed, just wanting to hide far away.
In a very short period of time, this previously bustling street became deserted.
But the old woman didn't leave. She opened her arms to block the predator, like a hen guarding her chicks in front of an eagle.
A cold light flashed from the front of the hunter, and a big hole opened in the old woman's chest.
Five seconds later, the old woman with a big round hole in her head fell softly to the ground.
Five seconds later, the hunter drifted forward, skillfully cut open the boy's damaged skull, took out the brain inside, and flew away.
Everything is quiet and peaceful again.
There was only a broken gun that no one cared about and two corpses, an old man and a young man, lying on the street.
The cold wind blew the boy's tattered clothes and became entangled with the ball of thread that had fallen from the old woman's hand.
Just like a world-famous painting.
At the corner of the street, Ren Zhong looked at the young man's body alone.
within one day.
Zheng Tian's ambition disappeared.
Wen Lei was exposed in the wilderness with longing for his childhood sweetheart.
The bright eyes of the gun-wielding boy, once full of expectations and dreams, were extinguished.
The life of the old mother who wanted to give her place to her son and ask her son to live well was wiped out.
Ren Zhong looked up at the sky again.
Everything I care about is destroyed.
Suddenly, his eyes turned red.
I don't know if it's because of sadness or the anger of separation.
