As early as Ren Zhong’s first arrival at the Starfire Resources Plaza to sell goods, he had noticed that brawny female Scavenger, who stood out among the rest.
Her opponents included both male entertainers and other male Scavengers.
Ren Zhong sighed inwardly, thinking to himself that Zheng Tian and Hanyu never came to places .
Having always dealt with them, he realized he still didn’t fully understand the true living conditions of the Scavengers in Starfire Town.
Perhaps this is the true portrayal of living for the moment in a world drowning in chaos.
Ren Zhong took large strides forward, trying to weave through the crowd, eager to leave this place as quickly as possible.
But there were simply too many people, men and women swaying heavily around him, and after several seconds of squeezing, he had only moved a few meters forward.
Just then, a female voice shouted from behind him, "Make way, everyone make way! We’re moving a corpse here, clear the path quickly! Otherwise, the Hunters will come barging in any moment!"
Ren Zhong turned his head, his pupils contracting sharply.
A pair of cleaners, a man and a woman in blue overalls, were carrying a stretcher, struggling to move through the narrow gap he had just squeezed through.
They trudged forward even more laboriously than Ren Zhong, the stretcher seemed about to tip over at any moment.
But when the female cleaner in the lead shouted out the name of the Hunter, the frenzied crowd slightly restrained their madness and gradually yielded a pathway to the side.
Ren Zhong also followed the crowd and stepped aside.
The revelry in the bar hall continued unabated, with unceasing music and flashing lights.
Ren Zhong still felt bumping from behind now and then.
But he stood firm, focusing solely on the stretcher between the two cleaners.
The cleaners passed by Ren Zhong with the stretcher.
On it lay the corpse of a frail, naked girl.
Her two legs were twisted bizarrely, dangling off the edge of the stretcher like willow branches swaying gently.
The lower half of the white sheet over the stretcher was stained with a large, vivid splash of blood.
Under the dim, reddish-green lighting, Ren Zhong discerned the girl’s face.
Her face was bruised and blotchy, lips ashen, her swollen and reddened eyes wide open, as if she had endured an immense agony before death.
In that instant, Ren Zhong felt that all the noise around him suddenly turned into dead silence.
The jostling crowd behind him vanished abruptly.
The flashing lights flickered out.
All that remained in his vision was an impenetrable darkness.
In the darkness, a beam of light tore across the sky, illuminating the girl’s corpse before him.
Ren Zhong recognized her.
She was the little girl he had saved the night he killed the burly man surnamed Huang.
But in the end, she had still died.
She was foolish and naive, even cowardly.
In this world, an early death seemed fated for her.
She was like a line segment, with a predetermined length from birth to death.
Her abrupt end was how it was supposed to be.
As if she was born for this day.
Ren Zhong thought to himself.
The darkness slowly faded, replaced by a sheen of blood-tinted neon light.
The wailing music and howls swallowed Ren Zhong once more.
The stretcher had already been carried away.
The maniacal revelry had never truly ceased.
Outside the door of the Eternal Sleep nightclub, the Hunters had arrived as scheduled with a whooshing roar.
Ren Zhong worked to calm his racing heart, turned around, and merged into the dance floor, like a grain of sand in the sea.
This was what he had to do now.
He knew he had to get used to it.
Living in this world, fury often arrives unexpectedly, unavoidable and inescapable.
