Resurrection Empire

Chapter 684 257 Confession_2

Her kindness was silent and unassuming.

At seven-thirty in the morning, when Ren Zhong appeared at the Starfire Town Military Weapon Store, Ju Qingmeng was in the warehouse, projecting from her wrist watch while reviewing information and digesting equipment details, all the while meticulously explaining to several employees in front of her.

She faced the inside of the warehouse, her back to the door.

Today, she still didn't wear her work uniform, opting instead for a dark red fitted women's suit, paired with elegant black trousers. Her back was long and graceful, striking yet not garish.

Starting from half a month ago, she gradually stopped wearing clothes of other colors, always switching between different shades of red.

Crimson, vermilion, rosy red, rose red...

Seeing this, Ren Zhong recalled the scene from the previous timeline's banquet where Ju Qingmeng, with a proud tone, told Li Ruoling, "He doesn't like golden yellow, he likes red."

In the previous timeline, Ren Zhong had once been puzzled about this.

He clearly remembered Ju Qingmeng preferred darker and cooler colored clothing, so why had her habits changed suddenly?

Now, Ren Zhong immediately understood.

When he once again donned the Red Blade Armor, he casually made up a reason that seemed reasonable for the naming, "I like red."

She believed that joking lie wholeheartedly and completely changed her habits.

From then on, her red clothes gradually increased.

Ju Qingmeng, unaware someone had come up behind her, continued her lecture in a firm voice.

"Because of the impact of carbon chromium ore, the Ruined Beasts in Zhan Sha County generally have lesser armor density but greater thickness and are more brittle. Therefore, the high-speed armor-piercing bullets from Zhan Sha County differ somewhat from those in Liao Yuan County. The bullets over there are heavier, the tips slightly round, and the filling in the blast department is greater."

"Their flight speed is slower, 30% slower than similar bullets from Liao Yuan County. The force exerted by the firing pin needs to be increased by 20%. The differences between the two kinds of bullets are significant, hence our Scavengers, if they want to use these bullets, should ideally prepare a separate gun with adjusted parameters. Mixing them can easily lead to jamming or barrel explosions."

At this moment, an employee facing outward from inside the warehouse glimpsed Ren Zhong, showing surprise and instinctively exclaimed softly, "General Manager Ren."

Ju Qingmeng was saying, "This is the corrosive mist bomb from Zhan Sha County..."

Ju Qingmeng paused slightly, then turned her head, a flicker of surprise in her eyes disappearing quickly replaced by doubt as she asked, "Why did you come back? Is something the matter? I have to discuss something with General Manager Ren. Take a short break for now; none of this new equipment can be sold before I explain the key points."

Ju Qingmeng knew Ren Zhong's habits.

He never wandered around aimlessly and had no personal matters with her.

His sudden appearance surely involved some urgent affair, she just didn't know whether it was an issue with the Red Blade Armor or another equipment need.

Without waiting for Ren Zhong to reply, Ju Qingmeng had already given instructions and then came over to pull him, "Let's talk in the office."

Ren Zhong didn't move, but frowned, gazing at her face.

Her eye sockets seemed slightly deep, with dark circles around her eyes, her originally delicate and radiant skin becoming somewhat dull.

Last night, during their exchange in the hibernation space about the two-hundred-member elite team's equipment details, Ren Zhong knew she hadn't stayed up late.

But her current state still appeared overly exhausted.

With no choice, she had to manage the Red Blade Armor, oversee the equipment for Zheng Tian's team, Yujin, Shi Xuan, Shi Lin, and the professional team, and still handle the elite team's Demon Infant Metal equipment.

Sometimes, the special equipment needs of the five-hundred-member hunting team would also seek her out.

She was also the store manager, with some technical issues and critical decisions on this side still depending on her.

Even though Wen Lei assisted, and despite having highly automated laboratory equipment worth five billion, her work intensity still far exceeded the norm.

She worked from the moment she opened her eyes every day, and continued to cram knowledge in the hibernation space even while sleeping at night, with almost zero rest time.

She was too tired, yet she never complained.

Previously, Ren Zhong was only focused on how to enhance their chances against the Mengdu Group's experiments and hadn't noticed these details.

Now, Ren Zhong understood.

Ren Zhong thought for a moment, "I'll wait in your office first, but don't worry about me. Take care of things here first, I'm not in a hurry, and I've got some matters to handle myself."

Ju Qingmeng asked doubtfully, "I might need more than an hour?"

"It's okay, I also need about that much time."

"Alright."

Ren Zhong went into Ju Qingmeng's office and casually picked up paper and pen.

He was calculating his current identity, status, and available network resources.
