Shi Xuan didn't want to say more, and Ren Zhong didn't ask further questions. He only changed his words and said, "Mr. Shi, why did you want to kill the mayor?"

Shi Xuan hesitated for a moment before speaking and spoke loudly.

At that time, although his town was not as good as Chrome Carbon Town, it still had a population of nearly 80,000 and was prosperous.

But all this was ruined by a beast craze in the evening.

At that time, the town mayor did not organize effective resistance at all. Seeing that the situation was not good, he immediately decided to cooperate with the resource recycling company to evacuate the citizens.

This decision is understandable.

However, the mayor requested that all members of the guard must accompany him to leave.

There's nothing wrong with that.

The problem lies with Shi Xuan himself.

He is a deserter who grew up in a small town.

In the process of growing up to become the strongest professional in the town, Shi Xuan did not enjoy any support from the association.

He used his own life to fight his way up from the bottom bit by bit.

After completing the contract with the resource company, he took over the vacant guard captain's duties and became a "artist investment engineer".

He didn't owe the mayor anything, nor did he owe the business association anything.

He enjoyed some of the benefits of a guard captain, but he believed that his job was worthy of such treatment.

In the end, although he became a citizen, he never integrated into the citizen class.

As the captain of the town guard, Shi Xuan did not want to escape from the battle.

He also believed that citizens escorted by armed airships were naturally at ease and did not need professional protection at all.

The mayor was too cautious, but he took the lives of the deserted people too lightly.

However, the mayor repeatedly forced Shi Xuan and threatened the lives of the temporary deserters who followed him to join the guard.

In Shi Xuan's communicator, some scavengers he knew well in the past were anxiously asking for help, and the mayor in the town government office was repeatedly pressuring him.

He was so anxious that blood spattered three feet in anger.

In the end, he led more than 30,000 people to break out of the siege of the beasts and survived the disaster.

Running all the way, stopping and going, the crowd traveled thousands of kilometers, and finally found a place in the ruins of Qishan.

Sadly, of the more than 30,000 people who chose to follow him because they trusted him, only a few thousand remained.

Some people died from the mouths of beasts, some died from injuries while working hard, some died suddenly from staying up all night on the road, and many more died from being swept away by hunters who happened to pass by.

When traveling overnight, Shi Xuan adopted the shift system commonly used in ancient times.

Most people stay up all night once every three days, but there are still people who suddenly fall down.

After listening to Shi Xuan's story, Ren Zhong said, "I think Mr. Shi and I are of the same kind."

Shi Xuan didn't say anything.

The young man next to him, Shi Lin, couldn't help but say, "You are not qualified to compare with my father! My father is the greatest man on the Origin Star!"

Ren Chong was stunned for a moment, but then he smiled.

He didn't argue either.

Although there are many things he wants to do, except for killing Lin Wang, he really doesn't have much to prove his deeds at the moment.

From the perspective of the spokesperson of the proletariat, comparing the two, he is now inferior to Shi Xuan.

Shi Xuan waved his hand, signaling to his irritable adopted son to calm down, and then said, "Although it is the first time for Mr. Ren and I to meet, we did meet each other late. I also think that you and I are similar on some level.

Shi Lin, please apologize."

Shilin gritted his teeth and said reluctantly: "I'm sorry."

Ren Zhong shook his head, "It doesn't matter. Anyway, Mr. Shi, are you willing to believe me?"

Shi Xuan: "I can trust you personally, but I am responsible for the lives of seven thousand people. You refuse to tell me the specific method. I have no confidence in this matter."

Ren Zhong asked again: "Let's not talk about the method first, just assume that I have done it. Spark Town has a future. Then, your people also have a future. You can walk out of the underground and return to the world."

"Okay, assuming you can really do it. But how can you guarantee that you will live a better life in Spark Town? You should know that the people in that town are neither human nor ghosts."

"Brother Wang probably hasn't told you about the new Spark Resources Company yet, right?"

"Boss Wang has hinted to me that there will be no shortage of market for our market beast output in the future. Moreover, the new boss will be easy to talk to, and our hunting harvest can be sold at the same affordable price as ordinary urban deserters."

Ren nodded, "Well, the new boss is really easy to talk to."

"Do you know Mr. Ren? I can't understand why someone would be stupid enough to come to a town that is destined to be banned to take over."

Ren Zhong's mouth twitched, "Unfortunately, I am the fool you mentioned. The new boss is me."

Shi Xuan was stunned.

Some of the doubtful points that Ren Zhong mentioned before were slowly connected.

Shi Xuan: "But..."

Ren Zhong interrupted him, "Don't say no now. I'll ask you again, what do you think of Ma Dafu?"

"A woman's benevolence is limited to virtue but not talent."

"What about me?"

"If what you show is true, then you are a capable and good person."

Ren Zhong: "Then if the mayor of Spark Town is still Ma Dafu and the boss of the resource recycling company becomes me. What do you think will happen to Spark Town? Is it worth looking forward to?"

Shi Xuan: "Putting aside the census, to fully support a town of nearly 30,000 people, the resource recycling company's production line configuration must cost at least 200 million yuan. I think Mr. Ren, you are planning to start a spark in the stock market.

The first pot of gold for resources?”

Ren nodded, "Yes."

"With all due respect, the stock market is just gambling. I can't..."

Ren Zhong took out the tablet again and called up some of his large and small operations in the past two months, "Mr. Shi, please take a look first."

After a long time, Shi Xuan silently put down the tablet, and stopped talking several times.

"Mr. Shi, just say whatever you want."

Shi Xuan shook his head, "Crazy! This world is crazy! It's impossible..."

Ren Zhong clicked on the player in the exoskeleton armor, which showed recordings from different people.

Ma Dafu: "It's impossible..."

Ma Xiaoling: "This..."

Yang Bingzhong: "Hi~! You are amazing..."

Ren Zhong smiled and said: "These people are the mayor of Xinghuo Town Ma Dafu, the captain of the guard Ma Xiaoling, and the boss of Xinghuo Resources Yang Bingzhong. The first reaction of each of them is similar to yours, but now they have become my investors. Understand me

Do you mean it?"

Shi Xuan rubbed his old wrinkled face, thinking about the battle between heaven and man in his mind.

Assume that everything Ren Zhong said is true.

Then he seems too illusory.

He is rich, kind, upright, has amazing professional talents, and is also a stock market trader with terrifying strength.

He is so perfect, like an alien from the outside world.

Shi Xuan: "Mr. Ren, even without Yang Bingzhong, sooner or later you will be able to earn a lot of money in the stock market and obtain citizenship directly by paying taxes."

"Yes."

"But you chose to betray Yang Bingzhong and try to save the lives of the 20,000 desert people in Xinghuo Town."

Ren Zhong smiled: "I can't call this betrayal, because I have never been truly loyal to him. After understanding the atmosphere in Spark Town, I have decided that he must pay the price."

Shi Xuan: "You have chosen a path that goes against human nature."

"Well, it's the same as before."

The room fell silent again.

Shi Xuan's finger joints continued to tap on the table.

The dim light from the roof shines.

The power supply voltage of the light bulb is unstable, flickering from time to time and making a sizzling sound.

The atmosphere seemed a bit stiff.

Finally, Shi Xuan turned to look at Ren Zhong: "Mr. Ren."

"Um?"

Shi Xuan: "I need to verify one thing."
