Resurrection Empire

Chapter 723 272 He Just Blocked My Way

Chongyi County is a medium-sized industrial county that exists around military industrial enterprises.

Its land area is larger than Liao Yuan County, but the population is only half of Liao Yuan County's.

Tall towers and chimneys rise within the county, resembling a "thriving" iron jungle.

The ultra-high chimneys reach beyond the dome.

So despite the billowing black smoke outside, the air inside the county remains fresh.

The vegetation in Chongyi County is not as lush as in Liao Yuan County, but the facilities in all aspects have a more post-modern technological feel.

A few minutes after entering the county, Ren Zhong looked around, recalling in his mind the tragic scene of Starfire Town on the same day in the previous timeline.

The direct culprit of the tragic event was precisely the crisscrossing orange-yellow light beams released by the Hunter's main cannon.

The main product of Tianyuan Military Industry, a Second Level subsidiary of the Source Star Military Industry Group, valued at eight hundred billion, is the Hunter's main cannon—a highly intense energy weapon.

In a sense, Chongyi County itself exists for this cannon.

If looking at a single cannon alone, its destructive power is about Level Five.

But its unique feature is that it can combine fire from multiple cannons infinitely, continuously increasing its destructive power.

Its upper limit is unimaginable.

It is true within the atmosphere, and even more so in space.

The energy main cannon used in Source Star's military spaceships currently is precisely the array combination of this cannon.

Its actual use is for Star Sky Level equipment.

Undoubtedly, this is ultra high-level technology obtained from the Empire.

Tianyuan Military Industry does not hold a monopoly, handling only about 10% of the orders, with a moderate profit margin.

Ren Zhong does not care about this bit of profit.

He wants to use this as an opportunity to glimpse a corner of the Empire and also to "burst soldiers" legitimately.

The group walked out of the airship and then stepped onto a medium-sized floating vehicle, drifting toward the transit hub station next to the ship's dock.

Ou Youning adopted the demeanor of a professional secretary, took out a paper notebook from her arms, and recited earnestly.

"It's now one in the afternoon. We will arrive at the Chongyi County large Professional training ground in thirty minutes. Boss, you will have four hours of public training in the VIP area there. At half-past six, we will head to Nangao Hotel to attend the public bidding hosted by the hotel owner, who is also the chairman of the Nangao Town Resource Recycling Company. Following that, we will check in at the Alson Hotel, and tomorrow morning, we will set off to hunt the Zhenjin Tiger over thirty kilometers outside Nangao Town at Wangnan Mountain."

Ren Zhong nodded, "Mm, it's a good plan."

The Zhenjin Tiger bidding in Nangao Town is unusual.

Normally, if such high-level Ruined Beasts cause trouble in a less capable small town, there are multiple ways to handle it.

If high-level Ruined Beasts show signs of threatening the county or are of a special kind, the county will dispatch experts from the Guard to eliminate them.

But if these high-level Ruined Beasts "behave themselves," not attacking towns, only posing threats to hunters, then it's up to the towns and resource recycling companies to handle it themselves.

For example, the Descending Demon Baby that appeared in Bone Valley before was ignored.

The Demon Infant was cunning enough, making it extremely difficult to hunt.

Unless one day it truly matures and recklessly attacks Starfire Town, threatening the citizens there, only then would Liao Yuan County dispatch experts to attempt to chase it down.

But the fact was until the Demon Infant died at the hands of Ren Zhong, Starfire Town could not bring in external experts. Yang Bingzhong was inactive, and Ma Dafu was powerless in this regard.

In general, towns faced with such situations have to self-sustain.

If you can't settle it yourself, then spend money to hire external experts.

If you don't have the money to hire experts, then pray for your own peace.

Ren Zhong used to not understand this, it puzzled him.

Clearly, a hidden danger capable of resolution was left unchecked.

Now he completely understood.

As long as you don't treat the hunters as people, it makes perfect sense.

Moreover, if Level Nine high-rank Ruined Beasts are like human brains, products that the Association needs to obtain, then it all makes too much sense.

The situation in Nangao Town was rather awkward.

After the Zhenjin Tiger first appeared, the Nangao town government and the resource recycling company's boss joined efforts, both putting forth contacts and money, inviting from outside a hunting team led by a Level Six Professional and including several Level Five Professionals, to attempt to eliminate it.

Unfortunately, this elite team was wiped out.

Since then, no experts were willing to take the task.

More unluckily, the Zhenjin Tiger only eats ten people a day, never stepping into the White Wall District where citizens reside.
