Resurrection Empire

Chapter 614 - 230: Emerging from Obscurity, The Flawed Net_3

Everyone thought he was merely returning to complete one last glamorous "reality show," as the best setup for his next brainwashing deception of the wastelanders.

Yes, in the eyes of most of the citizens watching this affair, everything about him was a performance.

Whether it was the investments he deliberately cast into Starfire Town as a mere gesture or the promises he made to the wastelanders of Starfire Town, all were seen as acts.

No one ever anticipated that he was genuine.

He truly intended to live and die with the wastelanders of Starfire Town! He had deceived the "Net"!

In an instant, Ren Zhong’s data model changed dramatically.

His threat index and rebellion index instantly shifted from the safe green to an extremely dangerous deep red.

However, the Association did not immediately take action.

At this moment, Ren Zhong was in a situation infinitely close to certain death.

If he died, investigating him would be meaningless.

But if he survived, it would only indicate another grand "show," akin to his previous handling of the Cold-blooded Butcher.

Seemingly perilous, yet actually under control; this was also Ren Zhong’s persona.

In the broadcast studio of Source Star TV responsible for broadcasting this battle, the chief reporter and professional host Xiao Xingyue suddenly stood up instinctively.

She was stunned for a long time.

Her eyes were filled with confusion, and a deeply hidden brilliance flickered continuously.

In the Telekinesis Master agency, that colleague of Xiao Xingyue’s, who had once evaluated Ren Zhong as "a shameless good businessman," widened his eyes, muttering to himself.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! This... this is unscientific!"

In the studio, Xiao Xingyue slowly sat down again.

She quickly adjusted her mindset and smiled, "I’m sorry, dear audience. I got too excited just now. Indeed, I’ve conducted multiple psychological evaluations on Ren Zhong. His current behavior is entirely different from the personality he displayed during the assessments, and I lost my composure. Let’s return to the program interpretation. Personally, I still hold a pessimistic view regarding the outcome of this war. Ren Zhong’s equipment has been expensively modified to output as high as seventy to eighty thousand kilowatts temporarily, but it’s still a drop in the ocean compared to the Sutured Giant Beast which has a maximum power limit exceeding two hundred fifty thousand kilowatts and the ability to absorb corpses to repair injuries. I firmly believe that if Ren Zhong does not withdraw in time, he will inevitably fall in battle."

At this moment, Ren Zhong was unaware of Xiao Xingyue’s evaluation, but his own thoughts echoed hers.

Due to the overheating of the equipment, he had to briefly distance himself, retreating to a safer distance.

Ma Xiaoling took over his main attack position, with the giant beast still pinned in place.

On this side, the wastelanders continued to charge like ants protecting their nest.

In the distance, smoke and explosions engulfed the entire town under a blanket of grayish haze.

Numerous Ruined Beasts roamed the streets, breaking through houses and walls.

Shrieks and screams continued to echo through the town.

Every minute, every second, people died ceaselessly right before his eyes.

Ren Zhong’s eyes glimmered, his mind raced.

Ren Zhong took a deep breath and conveyed a message to Ma Xiaoling, "Stop attacking, go, take your father and leave. You shouldn’t die here."

Ma Xiaoling replied with an extremely brief message, "Mind your own business!"

Ren Zhong sighed.

In the distance, Ma Xiaoling, due to the damage to the Big Gun, had to withdraw again, saying, "I know you want me to live. But did you ever ask for my opinion? Why is it only you who can be noble? Today Ma Xiaoling will defy reason! I could survive in mediocrity, but what’s the point of living for a few more decades? Who won’t die? I want to die in a way remembered by the world, is that not allowed? I want to declare it loudly; though I am a Citizen, I can die for the wastelanders! I want the wastelanders to know not all citizens in this world are vile!"

Ren Zhong: "Uh..."

He had known Ma Xiaoling for a long, long time.

He thought he understood Sister Ma very well.

But not until today did he finally realize he had misjudged her.

This person seemingly sympathized with the wastelanders but secretly spent money lavishly on a grand scale, making her sympathy for the wastelanders seem shallow.

But that was just her consumption view, not her life view.

Beneath her seemingly simple personality, there was always a pure heart hidden!

"Alright! Let’s try it out today!"

The next second, the needle in the back of Ren Zhong’s neck activated again.

Along with others, a dosage of stimulant ten times fiercer, the Super Armor Frenzy Potion, was injected simultaneously!

In an instant, Ren Zhong’s body began to mutate.

One after another, wild fused animal genes ignited in his body like falling stars.

The engine of the Red Blade Armor roared again.

Ren Zhong transformed into a stream of light and charged forward!

His Brain Reaction Index doubled and doubled again!

Time Intuition, activated!

His body underwent a complete transformation.

He shut off the acceleration protection system of the armor!

From now on, he would once again disregard the acceleration tolerance limits of the human body!
