Seconds later, Ren Zhong’s excavator burrowed into the soil and rock.
Inside the cockpit, Ren Zhong pressed buttons rapidly with both hands.
Ghost Particle Communication Device, activate.
Vibrating Scanner, activate.
Energy Sensing Detector, activate.
As each instrument was activated, the parameters displayed on the massive screen before him became increasingly abundant.
Ren Zhong quickly read the planned route sent by Lin Wang, then transcribed it into the excavator’s central control system via a brainwave link.
To be honest, he could just let it run automatically and take it easy from this point.
Since he basically had no combat duties anyway.
When encountering Ruined Beasts, an alert would sound 300 meters in advance inside the cabin.
When approaching within a 200-meter range, the detector could give a rough assessment of the Ruined Beast’s energy level strength index and type.
The team system would also automatically sync the information to the others.
Ren Zhong didn’t even have to worry, just take a slight detour to avoid the beast, today he only needed to run as far as possible, covering enough mileage, and appear to be working hard.
Others had to rush out of the excavator from time to time to fight the Ruined Beasts, whereas Ren Zhong, who almost never needed to venture out of the cabin, basically had nothing to do, even more leisurely than Si Mawan, who was solely for handling remains.
In the million-dollar salary offered by Chenhui Company, Lin Wang only considered one-tenth, or a hundred thousand, for Ren Zhong, precisely for this reason.
But Ren Zhong was not idle, he was not relaxed.
He had already activated the Geomagnetic Sensor on the Screw Rock Excavator, with a flood of geomagnetic data continuously pouring in as he drilled deeper.
Compared to the Geomagnetic Sensor he used in the abandoned mine pit earlier, this product of advanced civilization’s technology was simply incomparable, its measurement accuracy and calculation speed were outrageously fast.
He didn’t even need to stop, maintaining a forward speed of 50 kilometers per hour, going further and further forward.
Ren Zhong kept his eyes glued to the rapidly scrolling geomagnetic sensor data on the left side of the giant screen, not daring to blink.
He did want to do it like before, using a regular tablet to tabulate, then input the data, automatically verify and map, which would be much easier.
But unfortunately, the excavator’s central control computer did not come with this somewhat customized feature.
To avoid showing abnormal behaviors, Ren Zhong didn’t dare to bring his own computer, so he could only rely on observing with the naked eye, while frantically marking in his mind, using his spatial geometric thinking to roughly sketch the magnetic line pattern model.
The intensity of his thinking was no less than when he participated in the national high school physics competition back in the day.
Only when he encountered a "powerful" Ruined Beast that required his personal intervention would he reluctantly stop the excavator, jump out, and use the passage behind the excavator as a fighting space, wildly swinging and stabbing with his weapon.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, five hours had passed, reaching noon at twelve o’clock.
Lin Wang then gave an order to pause the excavation, rest for twenty minutes, and have lunch.
While hastily gobbling down his meal, Ren Zhong glanced over the team’s morning hunting report.
There were twenty-three Level Four Ruined Beasts, of which Lin Wang single-handedly killed ten, Bei Lihui five, Song Qianlian three, and Pan Fenglian two.
Additionally, three other Level Four Ruined Beasts were particularly strong and had to be taken down by two or three combat-capable team members working together.
No ferocious beasts requiring the full team yet.
The number of Third Level Ruined Beasts was even higher, reaching sixty-four.
The Second Level Ruined Beasts had decreased somewhat, to just over twenty.
Among them, Song Qianlian took down over ten, Bei Lihui several, and Ren Zhong three.
The number of First Level Ruined Beasts was even fewer, only eight, all defeated by Ren Zhong.
The crystal chips from the Third and Fourth Level Ruined Beasts were all dismantled, keeping Si Mawan very busy.
As for the First and Second Level Ruined Beasts, she didn’t even bother with them.
Instead, it was Ren Daquan who surprisingly impressed Lin Wang.
Believing waste to be shameful, Ren Zhong also used Second Level Demolition Master gloves to casually dismantle the First and Second Level Ruined Beasts he had felled, although it slightly delayed him and "unfortunately" messed up a bit, it was still better than letting them go to waste.
Lin Wang wasn’t counting on him anyway, so he didn’t mind.
Roughly calculating, the team’s total morning gain reached nearly fifty thousand points, an impressive amount.
While everyone was having their meal, Lin Wang praised, "It seems like everyone is adapting well; let’s keep up the good work this afternoon. Normally, the crystal chips from First and Second Level Ruined Beasts would be wasted, but Ren Zhong, you did a good job, I didn’t expect you to have such a skill, though not very practiced, it’s still useful. The First and Second Level chips you dismantled will be credited to your personal account."
