Seele looked at Han Xing and the other three who were approaching, stared at Bronya and said:

"Aren't you guys resting in your room? You're still wandering around outside at this hour. Are you up to something bad?"

Bronya put her hands on her hips, her face full of displeasure. "I couldn't sleep, so I just went out for a walk. Please retract your groundless accusations."

"——Hmph!" Xier snorted coldly, looked at Han Xing and said nothing.

Natasha on the side hurriedly said: "Xier, don't be like this, maybe they can help you."

She looked at Han Xing and winked.

"—Ahem!" Han Xing, who was watching Bronya and Seele bickering with an auntie smile, coughed lightly, "For Sister Natasha's sake, I'll help."

Natasha chuckled, "Thank you so much."

"Well, a lot of people were injured in the incident at the mine, and the clinic was overwhelmed. After you helped quell the riot, Xi'er and I were busy taking care of the injured."

"Sigh..." She sighed softly and continued helplessly, "But you also know that underground resources have always been in short supply. In addition, this incident happened suddenly, and the clinic's medical supplies are almost exhausted. We have to get some from somewhere else."

Seele glared at Bronya.

"It's the lockdown order that's to blame. The reason there are more and more wanderers in the mining area is because the rift is spreading underground, bringing out wandering monsters. Every rash is deeply troubled by it."

"The supplies and equipment we rely on for survival have all been swallowed up by the rift. If we want to salvage anything from it, we have to risk our lives!"

Chapter 4 (Part 2) Chapter 3: The Weirdness of Rivet Town

-------------------------------------

"Don't be so excited, Xier, it's not good for your health."

Natasha looked at everyone and explained:

"Actually, Xi'er and I didn't grow up in this town. We're from an industrial town in the north, whose main city was infiltrated by the Rift a few years ago."

"I used to manage an orphanage and clinic there, but when the erosion happened, I had to move to Rock Town. After all, I had to ensure my own survival before I could have the chance to treat more people."

Bronya said, "So, we're going to the eroded city to collect usable supplies? Count me in."

She looked at Xier, "Do you want to come with me? I see you look very tired."

"Hmph! Wait! I haven't agreed to let you join yet!" Xier put her hands on her hips.

"Since this involves human lives, it wouldn't hurt to have more help. I happen to have quite a bit of experience dealing with rifts, so I'm sure I can be of some help."

"Hmph, then...don't hold me back."

Han Xing watched from the side and continued to smile like an aunt.

Natasha covered her face and shook her head:

"Alright, alright. Since Xi'er didn't refuse, she already recognizes you. I can rest assured knowing you're here with her. Come, I'll make a list of supplies for you."

"The place you're going to is called Rivet Town. Go down the mountain road to the north and you'll see it soon."

"Let me see... We're running out of plates and bandages to fix broken bones. There's a market in the center of Rivet Town, and the townspeople left a lot of goods there when they evacuated. I'll take the trouble to look for them."

"Then......."

Han Xing watched Bronya carefully writing down every word Natasha said on the notepad, then looked up and glanced at Seele who had a proud look on her face.

Xier tilted her head and looked away.

"With these, you should be able to cope for a while. Be careful on your journey and don't push yourself."

......

The night wind blew, and everyone stood on the stone bridge of the town and looked into the distance.

This is a desolate and silent world.

In front are rows of old houses and shops that were once the center of the town but have been abandoned for many years.

The buildings' doors and windows are boarded up, their walls coated in thick dust. On the streets, worn signs and billboards, once symbols of the town's commercial vitality, lie haphazardly on the roadside, now faded and damaged.

"This is Rivet Town, ah... familiar scenery~" Xier looked at the town in front of her with eyes full of nostalgia.

She pointed in a direction and said to everyone:

"That house over there on the far hillside is Natasha's old orphanage. Uncle Oleg picked me up and sent me there. I spent most of my childhood in the orphanage."

March 7th pressed the shutter towards the orphanage in the distance.

"Yes." She handed the developed photos to Xier, "It's too dangerous here now. Just look at the photos when you miss this place."

Xier looked at the photo in her hand and carefully put it into her arms.

"Thank you."

Seele looked at Bronya and saw her staring blankly at the scene in the distance.

"..."

"Why aren't you talking? Are you mute?"

"No... I just feel a little familiar here, it's okay."

"wack......."

And just then.

"Ah! Instruments @ (eight) dead flags @ private affairs = Lu"

I heard March 7's scream beside me.

Han Xing's eyes focused, and he instantly appeared beside San Yueqi.

Seeing the other person looking at the camera in his hand with a look of horror, he gently patted March's back and asked:

"March, what's wrong? What did you see?"

Sanyueqi raised his camera and said to the crowd, "Everyone come and take a look."

Everyone looked down and saw a white shadow by the window of the house in one of the photos taken by March 7. The deserted town was now blurry and weird.

Xier frowned: "This seems to be the top floor of the orphanage..."

Bronya looked at March's pale face and said, "March, don't scare yourself. This could just be a curtain or a medical mannequin."

Xier shook her head:

"Nata wouldn't put those things in the orphanage. They would scare the children."

San Yueqi also shook his head and quickly switched to the next photo.

In this photo, the white figure has moved to the window of another room in the orphanage, and seems to be grinning and looking towards the camera.

Han Xing frowned slightly. Sanyue must have been frightened by this photo.

Han Xingqing stroked San Yueqi's back and said:

"Don't be afraid, I'm here. This place is now eroded by the Rift, so it's normal to see some strange sights. Perhaps they're just Rift Creatures we haven't seen before."

Xier also nodded and looked down at the stone bridge:

"Everyone, look down. Do you see those messy stalls?"

"That's the market square in Rivet Town. The supplies Natasha wants are probably piled up there. Let's go look for them first. As for that white shadow, we'll find out once we get to the orphanage and investigate."

"Be careful of monsters, keep moving forward."

Han Xing held San Yue Qi's hand and could clearly feel that his body temperature was lower than usual. He leaned over and whispered in San Yue Qi's ear:

"Hold my hand tightly, and if anything happens, just shout, 'Go, Pipi Star. The decision is yours!'"

San Yueqi's expression softened a lot after being amused by her nonsensical words.

Her other hand was held by Wuwu.

"March...Mom...don't be afraid!...Woo...I will protect you."

She looked at the hands held by the two of them, and her heart was moved.

He bent down and picked Wuwu up, his tone returning to his usual light and natural tone: "Let's go. I'm not afraid of that kind of thing."

Market Square.

Countless rift monsters roamed the square.

Everyone squatted behind the stone wall.

"What's going on?" Bronya looked at the center of the square in shock. "I've only seen monsters like this on the front lines. How come there are so many here?"

"How would I know?" Han Xing scratched his head. This was too much. The square was practically filled with monsters.

"What should we do now?" March Seven said in Han Xing's ear.

"What can I do? Just clean them all up. I'm short of energy right now." Han Xing said, and was about to stand up and rush forward to kill everyone.

"Wait! Look over there." With Xier holding his shoulder, Han Xing looked in the direction of her finger.

In the center of the square, where the monsters were most concentrated, a blurry white figure was floating quietly.

But his sight happened to coincide with Han Xing's.

"Shit! It...seems to have discovered us."

Chapter 44 White Shadow (Two in One)

-------------------------------------

The yellow light from the street lamps cast alternating shadows of light and dark on the square.

The surrounding stalls have been abandoned, signs and billboards are thrown on the ground casually, and there are traces of people's hasty evacuation everywhere.

The night wind is cool and the cold light flashes.

The blurry white shadow disappeared after discovering Han Xing and the others, and was replaced by a restless boundary-ripping monster.

"Han Xing, what should we do? There are too many monsters here." Xier danced with the sickle in her hand, splitting the "Frost Crystal Creation" in front of her into two.

"You guys retreat outside!" Han Xing shouted to everyone.

The knife flashed, bringing up endless flames.

"It's now!"

Upon hearing this, everyone took advantage of the fire set off by Han Xing to retreat outside the square.

Black and gold wings suddenly appeared behind Han Xing, golden light surged in her eyes, and flames swept out with her as the center.

She raised the hand holding the knife and swung it lightly.

- Om!

Flames streaked across the air, accompanied by the whirring of blades. The monsters in front of Han Xing were immediately engulfed by the flames. She immediately wiped out most of the monsters that surrounded her from all directions.

......

In the distance, Xi'er and the others watched as the cold star in the square disappeared in an instant, then reappeared with several flashes of fire, slashing a large number of enemies. His figure and the flames overlapped, as if dancing in the square.

"She is so strong..." Xier couldn't help but mutter to herself.

Bronya continued, "Well, if we can get her to agree to our proposal, I believe the people of Beloberg will be able to live a life a hundred times better than they do now."

"Hmph! Joining your Silver Mane Iron Guard is worse than joining the Earth Fire!" Xier snorted coldly, turning around and whispering in March Seven's ear: "March, is this girl really a Silver Mane Iron Guard? Why do I feel like she's different from the other Iron Guards?"

Sanyueqi covered her mouth and laughed secretly, "If you want to know, just ask her yourself~"

Xier put her hands on her hips and said, "I don't want to know!"
