Scum Gong Walks the Career Line in the Crematorium

TL: Moonlit

Happy 100th chapter (^o^)/

Having found the person he was looking for, half of Lin Hanchuan’s heart was relieved, allowing him to focus more on other matters.

The research on the spatial crystal nucleus had made progress, and once it was revealed, it would cause a huge sensation.
He himself might even become a world-renowned legend.
If he wished, he could become wealthy in the apocalypse.

Similar to the protagonist in the original story, he could establish a base, gather talents, and become a powerful ruler in his own right.

However, Lin Hanchuan didn’t want that.
He carried the array diagrams he personally drew, along with a large stack of array analysis, clearly marking each stroke and providing additional pages of notes.

After preparing everything, Lin Hanchuan set out with his belongings and subordinates to find the scar-faced man.

As he left, he realized that Cheng Jizhou was naturally following closely behind him, standing closer than anyone else, mimicking his every move.

Lin Hanchuan chuckled, “You want to come along too?”

“Is that not allowed?” Cheng Jizhou’s gaze was wary, firmly fixed on Lin Hanchuan, as if afraid of hearing a rejection.

The matter concerning the spatial crystal nucleus was of great importance, and Lin Hanchuan treated it with extreme caution.
He only brought the most trusted Wei Zheng and Lu Mao.
Bringing someone like Cheng Jizhou, whom he had only recently met, seemed a bit strange.
But he simply said, “If you want to come, then come.”

Cheng Jizhou was finally satisfied, and his sky-blue eyes revealed pure happiness.

His expression and actions made Lin Hanchuan feel even more that he resembled a little fox, possessing the blue eyes and white fur of an Arctic fox.

The group made their way through the bustling streets and walked to the temporary base where the scar-faced man resided.
When they arrived, they were surprised to find that there were many people gathered at the entrance, creating a lively scene.

“What’s happening?” Wei Zheng looked worried.

“Let’s go and see,” Lin Hanchuan said.

Approaching the center of the crowd, they were astonished to find that a dispute had broken out between a group of supernatural ability users and the stationed military personnel.

Before obtaining their supernatural abilities, these ability users were ordinary people in the crowd, coming from various backgrounds with different personalities and characteristics.
There was no common trait among them; they could be young or old, male or female.

The troublemaking group of ability users didn’t appear to be upstanding individuals.
They were dressed similarly to how people used to dress before the apocalypse, wearing a badge on their chests and acting in a carefree manner.

The man leading the group had messy and bushy long hair, giving him the appearance of a vagabond.
He laughed loudly and provocatively, “You guys think you’re so great? You still don’t have any abilities and yet, you’re pinned down by us and beaten.”

“Such arrogance!” Lu Mao’s fists clenched, and Wei Zheng’s face darkened.

From the conversations of the surrounding people, Lin Hanchuan learned that these few individuals were ordinary people rescued by the military from the outside.
On their way back, they caused trouble and were pressed down by the military.
They harbored grudges and obtained abilities, immediately bringing people to reclaim their faces.

“Shameless!” Lu Mao cursed.

Even though the other side had saved his life, they still held a grudge because their unreasonable demands were not met.
They treated the life-and-death struggle of the military as a matter of course.

They reminded Lu Mao of the ungrateful people Lin Hanchuan had saved, just like the same type of treacherous wolves.

Ungrateful, heartless, worse than pigs and dogs… Cursing in his heart, Lu Mao looked at Lin Hanchuan.

Lin Hanchuan was lost in thought for a few seconds, only snapping back to reality when the vagabond man failed to humiliate the military personnel and got angry, about to act.
He promptly threw a thunder attack, precisely and swiftly, causing the vagabond man’s messy appearance to become even more unkempt.

The man felt a sudden, intense pain throughout his body, and he struggled on the ground in embarrassment.
The electric currents surging within him finally disappeared after a few minutes.
He heard the laughter of the surrounding people, and only then did he notice that his whole body was filled with the smell of burning.
Subconsciously touching his hair, he felt a hand full of black soot.

Lin Hanchuan controlled the electricity to avoid killing the man, only giving him a lesson by turning his hair into a mess and covering his face in soot.

The man stood up from the ground, both angry and surprised, blustering, “Who dares to attack me? I’m a member of the Rong Family’s guard! If you offend me, the Rong Family will make you regret it!”

“It seems that the Rong Family is not that impressive,” Cheng Jizhou remarked to Lin Hanchuan without deliberately lowering his voice, and the people around heard his words, “A family is judged by its followers, and if Rong Ziping is not great, then it’s no wonder that his followers are also not great.”

He took the opportunity to also mock Rong Ziping.

“Are you daring to insult the Rong Family?” The vagabond man realized that the other party wasn’t afraid of even the Rong Family and knew that he had encountered a tough opponent.
Feeling embarrassed by backing down now, he could only retreat while saying, “If you’ve got guts, don’t leave.
I’ll get someone here!”

Amidst the crowd’s jeers, the vagabond man hurriedly fled.

“Mr.
Tu, please come with me.” The man who was being scolded by the vagabond, unmoved, saw Lin Hanchuan and smiled politely, saying, “Thank you for standing up for me.”

“Why didn’t you fight back when you clearly have the ability?” Cheng Jizhou was curious.
With his keen eyes, he could see that this man, although not an ability user, had a firm and powerful stride, tight muscles, and decisive movements—clearly an expert.
Taking down someone who had just obtained abilities shouldn’t be a problem for him.

“I’m a soldier.
How can I lay hands on civilians?” He smiled shyly, “Before, I could still detain him, but now it’s the apocalypse, and the law is practically nonexistent.
The relationship between the military and the ability users is delicate.
If I act, it won’t be just my business.”

So, even if he was scolded to his face, as long as the other party didn’t attack him, he could only endure it.

“You guys are really strange,” Cheng Jizhou remarked.
In Country A, not only the ability users but even ordinary people who dared to lay hands on the military would be immediately punished.

Based on Cheng Jizhou’s understanding of Country A, after the apocalypse, this situation would become even more severe.
It was highly probable that the capitalists would disintegrate and control the military, completely holding the political power of the country in their hands.

These people, even in the apocalypse, would not lower the quality of their lives in the slightest; on the contrary, they would become even more unscrupulous, becoming blatant privilege holders.

From Cheng Jizhou’s understanding, it seemed that all countries were like this, except for Country C.

After listening to Cheng Jizhou’s words, everyone was stunned, not knowing how to respond.
Lin Hanchuan rubbed his head and said softly, “We’re not strange; they’re the ones who are strange, making us, the normal ones, seem out of place.”

“You foreigners could never understand our country’s customs and traditions.” The scar-faced man came out and smiled, sticking out his chest, “I don’t mean to look down on foreigners…”

Cheng Jizhou felt that something was odd.
Although the man said he didn’t look down on foreigners, he sensed some hostility.

“You’ve worked hard.
Go rest, and someone else will take over the watch.” The scar-faced man ordered his subordinate, who saluted and left.
Then, he turned to Lian Hanchuan and asked, “What do you want from me?”

The scar-faced man covertly assessed the people Lin Hanchuan brought along, feeling something was strange.
There was a beautiful foreign mixed-race individual, a teenager around eighteen or nineteen who looked like a troublemaker, and a retired soldier in his twenties.
He could understand the rest, but what was the purpose of the attractive mixed-race person? A beauty contest?

Cheng Jizhou met the man’s gaze and grinned, a faint red glint flickering in his eyes, too fast for people to see clearly.

The scar-faced man’s pupils constricted.
He didn’t notice the abnormality in Cheng Jizhou’s eyes but relied on his combat instinct to sense danger.
He instinctively assumed a defensive stance, with tense muscles, only relaxing a few seconds later.

“Don’t judge a book by its cover.” The scar-faced man withdrew his gaze, also retracting his evaluation of the mixed-race beauty, ‘A wimp, should run fifty laps.’

Unaware of their eye exchange, Lin Hanchuan took out the spatial crystal core.
“I’ve developed a spatial crystal nucleus a few days ago.
According to my method, as long as it’s operated correctly, mass production can be achieved.”

Briefly explaining the situation, Lin Hanchuan opened the spatial crystal nucleus to demonstrate it to everyone.

The object was astonishing, leaving everyone, including Cheng Jizhou, dumbfounded.

“So, this is what you’ve been researching every day?” Cheng Jizhou was also interested in Rong Ziping’s spatial ability.
At one point, he wanted to dissect Rong Ziping’s head and dig out the crystal nucleus to examine it, but unfortunately, he didn’t have the opportunity to act.
He didn’t expect that the thoughts that lingered in his mind would actually be researched by Lin Hanchuan.

The scar-faced man gasped, the spatial crystal nucleus was already enough to amaze anyone, and Lin Hanchuan’s statement of being able to mass-produce it represented tremendous benefits and prospects for anyone.

“What do you want?” The scar-faced man quickly calmed down, tearing his gaze from the spatial crystal core, “Within the scope the military can provide, all your requests can be met.”

If this technology was used for exchange, even if Lin Hanchuan wanted the military to destroy the Rong family, the military could still risk the consequences of both sides being injured to take the gamble.

“I have only one requirement,” Lin Hanchuan said slowly, “the spatial crystal nucleus will first meet the needs of military personnel.
On this premise, only material exchanges will be allowed to the outside.”

“And implement a blacklist mode with purchase restrictions.”

Lin Hanchuan had already thought everything through clearly, “Intentional killers are not exchangeable; rapists and robbers are not exchangeable; traitors are not exchangeable…based on the criminal law.”

“Finally, those who insult military personnel are not exchangeable.”

This series of statements left the scar-faced man stunned, especially the last one.
His eyes widened, and there were hints of tears in his eyes.

His own subordinates were insulted so severely, and he was also infuriated by it, but the overall situation took precedence, and there was no other choice but to endure it.
But now, someone had taken notice of all this.

During peacetime, the scar-faced man had saved numerous people and received countless praises.
However, after the apocalypse, people’s hearts suddenly changed.
Among the people he rescued, there were more and more ingrates.
Although there were also grateful individuals, it still left him feeling disheartened.

Lin Hanchuan’s words were like a warm stream that poured into his heart, letting him know that the efforts of the military were not in vain.
