CHAPTER 506: CHAPTER 192: THE MORE SILENT, THE MORE PERSISTENT_2

Some people initially find their path, only to stray from it in the end.

There are even worse cases, like someone whose talent is piloting a Gundam, but he’s just an ordinary office worker in the 21st century.

It’s better if this person doesn’t know, but what if one day he’s favored by an Immortal, allowed to know the greatest talent of his life?

Then, the Immortal kindly tells him, "Young man, your talent is piloting humanoid battle mechas in the 31st century."

This person might explode with anger and curse the Immortal’s ancestors on the spot.

Zheng Tian is fortunate.

Ren Zhong, having Zheng Tian, is also fortunate.

Ren Zhong’s gaze gradually softened, "Zheng Tian, you don’t need to belittle yourself. I do have plans for you, but it’s inconvenient to say now. In a while, you’ll naturally find out."

Under Ren Zhong’s fatherly gaze, seeing Zheng Tian as a beloved daughter, she first felt goosebumps all over, but then inexplicably a little delighted, "Hmm. I know, Brother Ren."

Then, Ren Zhong turned his gaze to the last person present, Bai Feng.

Doomed.

He was stuck.

Bai Feng was a man of few words, with a very low presence, and Ren Zhong actually didn’t know much about him.

So much so that in this round of compliments, Ren Zhong couldn’t find an entry point.

Ren Zhong had to actively dig for information in his mind.

This thought made Ren Zhong realize that during each of his past sacrificial missions, Bai Feng never let him down with his performance.

Perhaps Bai Feng wasn’t very strong, and as Ren Zhong’s power continued to grow, Bai Feng’s role in battles became minor.

But even with his meager strength, when Ren Zhong needed it, he would attempt it without hesitation.

Just for this alone, Bai Feng deserves all of Ren Zhong’s trust.

Ren Zhong’s mind quickly flashed thoughts, choosing not to compliment Bai Feng, but instead said directly, "After dinner, Bai Feng, come by, we need to talk."

Bai Feng nodded, "Okay, Mr. Ren."

...

"Bai Feng, you survived from Mengdu Group’s laboratory, right?"

Ren Zhong asked.

Bai Feng nodded, "Yes."

"Which laboratory?"

"Yangsheng City Research Center."

"When you entered Mengdu Group as a volunteer, did you undergo a Telekinesis Master’s inspection?"

"No."

"How many years did you stay in the laboratory?"

"Three years."

"How many fusion genes were implanted?"

"Nine kinds, and ultimately three remained in my body. Actually, I already had the chance to become a permanent employee, but I couldn’t stand that place, so I chose not to renew my contract and left."

"Bai Feng, are you from Starfire Town?"

Bai Feng shook his head, "No."

"Then where are you from?"

"I was born in Baimen Town. When I was twelve, my father offended some enemies in Baimen Town, and we fled to Starfire Town. During the escape, we were chased. My parents stayed behind while I escaped alone. Later, during a Pu Cha, I couldn’t get a slot and couldn’t survive alone in the wild, so I volunteered. After completing my volunteer work, I became a First Level Armored Soldier and received a temporary Starfire Town wild human slot promised by Mengdu Group."

Ren Zhong nodded.

He had never asked about Bai Feng’s background before, thinking it unimportant.

But asking this revealed unexpected insights.

"What was the strength of your enemies at that time? What’s the situation now, do you know?"

Bai Feng was slightly surprised, then shook his head, "Mr. Ren, are you thinking of avenging me? No need, at the beginning of the year, I suggested several times to move the hunting ground closer to the vicinity of Baimen Town. There, we encountered the enemies, and Zheng Tian and the others helped me and killed them all. I have nothing to do with Baimen Town anymore."

"Do you still know anyone in Baimen Town?"

"I’m not sure who still lives in the alley where I used to live."

Ren Zhong asked, "Is there anyone who became a Mengdu Group volunteer for the second time? Would second-time volunteers be treated differently?"

Bai Feng thought for a moment, "Theoretically, yes, but I guess it’s rare. As for any special treatment, I don’t know. I only know that Armored Soldiers can still register. But Mengdu Group’s Biological Laboratory is a terrifying place, and our experiences there are worse than death. We have no choice in fusion genes; we’re just lab rats."

"Uncontrolled semi-finished genes bring us indescribable pain. Our mortality rate is over ninety percent. Very few survive and would want to return there. We’d rather die outside."

Ren Zhong sighed slightly, "But I have something that needs your help. I’m not sure if this can be successful, only that it’s important. Even if there’s just a slim chance of success, I need someone to try..."

Bai Feng said, "Mr. Ren, leave it to me. Whatever it is."

"Including going back to Mengdu Group?"

"Yes. Including."

"I must remind you, regardless of whether my plan ultimately succeeds, you basically have no chance of surviving."

"Mr. Ren’s plan must have its reason. I just need to execute it."

Ren Zhong was silent for a long time, finally squeezing out a sentence, "Thank you."

Actually, he couldn’t understand Bai Feng’s motivations, just like Bai Feng never expressed loyalty but always quietly died in battle.

Even now, Ren Zhong didn’t understand Bai Feng, but that didn’t prevent him from trusting him.

"Okay, you go back to Baimen Town tomorrow. I’ll first tell you a paragraph, and you must remember it firmly."

...

On the morning of the 61st day, before anyone else was awake, Bai Feng, who had gone to bed half an hour early, rose early, packed his bags, and quietly disappeared. He took Wang Zhaofu’s ride straight to Baimen Town.

He would participate in the Mengdu Group volunteer recruitment in Baimen Town the next day.

He would return to the place he loathed deeply.

As long as he could deliver that incomprehensible message from Mr. Ren to Dr. Sun, the task would be considered complete.

As for life and death, it didn’t matter.

If there’s no return, then there’s no return.

Watching Wang Zhaofu’s Armed Escort Vehicle fade into the distance, Ren Zhong felt somewhat forlorn.

He wasn’t sure if he could successfully get Bai Feng to Sun Miao.

He was merely betting on a possibility.

He bet that Sun Miao would contact him in time and that Senior Director Sun Miao could decide the "sample" allocation.

There were too many variables in this matter that Ren Zhong currently couldn’t control.

This time Bai Feng might just endure countless sufferings and die miserably.

Of course, it’s also possible that Bai Feng, this twice-returning Armored Soldier, would face Telekinesis Master inspection and just happen to be questioned about this matter.

If so, perhaps the whole plan would be aborted.

Ren Zhong himself was taking a risk.
