Resurrection Empire

Chapter 617 - 231: The Meteor-like Brilliance in the Night Sky_3

Perhaps in the very beginning, Zheng Tian did not truly establish her resolve to die.

After issuing the order for others to inject the potion, she herself did not inject it.

Her reason was quite sufficient, as she was the Commander and had to remain calm and clear-headed.

But after Ren Zhong’s combat power suddenly soared to Level Six, she understood everything.

She still had many, many questions and still couldn’t comprehend why Ren Zhong would go this far.

Ren Zhong had ten thousand reasons to keep living, yet he chose the most incomprehensible ending.

This ending was called "dying to fulfill the promise he made to the wastelanders."

With those words, the three of them jumped out, mounted three Azure Type-III jet skis, and soared into the sky.

The three of them weaved through the air, racing towards the Sutured Giant Beast.

The ultimate command had been issued; any tactics had lost their meaning. What’s left is a test of will, the grind of flesh, to see who lasts till the end, and whether Ren Zhong’s demand can be met—to pin the giant beast in place.

Actually, Zheng Tian didn’t know what Ren Zhong had arranged in the Armored Laboratory, but that didn’t matter.

Ren Zhong’s arrangement must have its reasons!

Therefore, from now on, Starfire Town no longer needed a commander, only an elite rapid-fire machine gun warrior.

With Zheng Tian, the Commander, giving the final order and leading the charge, the wastelanders coordinated their actions.

One after another, untrained wastelanders, originally trembling in fear of the battle, stood up from their various hiding places, picked up the weapons of their fallen companions, and charged out with roaring fervor.

They might not have a chance to reach the front line of the Sutured Giant Beast, but even killing a lower-level Ruined Beast before them counted as making a contribution for those still hiding, lucky to remain unseen, whether they knew them or not.

Our vast town.

We came from all directions.

We were dismissively regarded as experimental samples by the hated Mengdu Group.

Our fate was tragic.

But there are so many of us, someone must survive.

Otherwise, when we are gone, there will be no one left to bury us and mourn for us!

We do not wish to meet the same end as the ancient wastelanders in the Nameless City within Bone Valley!

Someone must live!

To sacrifice one’s life for another’s survival, this is the unified will soaring to the skies in Starfire Town at this moment.

The green and blue flames on the Sutured Giant Beast still spiraled around, the ripples still surged.

Ren Zhong’s offensive never ceased.

One after another, people charged forward.

Initially, only Ma Xiaoling could break through the energy layer of the Sutured Giant Beast. But as time passed, Ren Zhong’s frantic assault on the giant beast caused increasing disturbances, and more and more people’s attacks began to truly hit the beast’s body.

Its injuries began to worsen.

The Ruined Beast carcasses scattered throughout Starfire Town started acting up again.

More and more people without weapons pounced forward, grabbing those long-dead Ruined Beast carcasses, desperately tearing and blocking them.

But even when the Ruined Beast carcasses were torn to shreds, some parts still converged towards the Sutured Giant Beast.

Those with containers around them had a sudden bright idea and started stuffing these most active carcass parts into the containers.

Most people, however, found themselves empty-handed. It was unclear who began first, but gradually, more people started opening their mouths wide, stuffing these hard or highly toxic carcass pieces into their stomachs.

In front of the Armored Laboratory, one person after another pounced forward.

One person after another fell.

Yet the sea of people seemed endless, and the mountain-like Sutured Giant Beast could not advance even an inch.

The Sutured Giant Beast roared in furious frenzy.

More than ten minutes ago, it had already detected a probing sensation from several hundred meters ahead, causing it immense discomfort.

But despite so much time passing, it still hadn’t reached its destination.

Clearly, the path ahead was flat and unobstructed, without any city walls, but these ants at its feet and a few accursed fleas leaping around it formed an insurmountable wall of flesh and blood.

...

The tremors outside grew increasingly intense.

Underground in the Armored Laboratory.

A hacker wiping sweat from his brow asked, "Manager Ju, what’s happening outside? Are we in danger? Should we leave? The money’s important, but our lives matter more!"

Ju Qingmeng gave a serene smile and said, "It’s okay, our people are more united than ever. The Ruined Beasts attempting to break through can’t advance a single step. We’re... very safe, hmm."

"Oh, oh, oh, that’s good."

"Don’t get distracted. Focus on your work. President Ren said, once it’s done, each of you will get two hundred million."

"Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh!"

Ju Qingmeng turned her face away again, as though her gaze would penetrate the barriers of walls and earth.

She wanted to see with her own eyes that vibrant flower of interwoven green and blue hues.

But she had to keep these two stable underground.

Two lines of tears slid down the corners of her eyes.

At this moment, she finally truly understood Ren Zhong’s dream.

So, this is you?

I once thought I knew your kindness.

Now I realize my own shallowness and ignorance.

I so admire you, and revere you.

Even if I can’t see your every move at this moment, my heart nearly stops because of you.

The greatest regret in human life is only understanding our true feelings when we are about to lose each other.

Ren Zhong, I ultimately can’t return to my parents.

I ultimately couldn’t become someone above others.

We couldn’t avenge our lifetime’s hatred against Wang Jinsou.

You didn’t fulfill the promise you made to me.

But I have no regrets.

Because I witnessed and participated in your greatness!

To know you, as you would say, I have no regrets this life!

We failed.

It was destined.

If you fight against the blazing sun in the sky, you become a meteor that flashes and disappears in the night sky.

However, at least you shone brilliantly once, once illuminated this dark, oppressive and unfair world, filled with dirt and decay!

Even if just for a moment!

We can definitely eradicate the Legion Beast and the Sutured Giant Beast!

Even if many will die in Starfire Town today, someone will surely survive!

Surely!

The story of Starfire Town will surely reverberate throughout the skies of Source Star!

Even if this story is eventually buried like the Nameless City, at least we caused them distress.

If they want to cover up Starfire Town’s secret, they will also have to pay the price!

Ju Qingmeng’s peripheral vision shifted slightly.

On the other side, a connected machine quietly transmitted a large amount of real-time footage of Starfire Town to the game "Dream Inn."

There will always be people who can see all this.

The seeds we plant today will surely sprout one day in the future.
