This heroine is so despicable

and……

The dream just now concerned her very much.

After confirming that Dan Heng next door had not gone to bed yet, Xing, who was always fair and just, decided to go out for a walk, regardless of the confused and cold-faced Xiao Qinglong. She suddenly had the urge to go out and take a walk.

Although people's sense of the passage of time is not so obvious because there is no sunlight underground, this point is indeed the time when most people take a break. It can be seen from the window that the streets are almost empty.

As soon as she arrived at the hotel lobby, she saw Bronya, who seemed to be unable to sleep and was preparing to go out for a night out.

The latter was slightly embarrassed, but could only ask: "Can't you sleep either?"

Xing nodded: "How about... walking together?"

"……also."

Xing, who had just finished a walk with Eula not long ago, turned around and started walking with another girl. Xing did not seem to be bored at all and even enjoyed it quite a lot.

Compared to Xing's relaxed pace, Bronya's mentality was obviously much heavier. After hesitating for a long time, she spoke:

"It just so happens that there's no one else here, so I want to ask you, what do you think... the so-called star core, the source of the disaster... Assuming we really find it, how confident are you that we can stop the cold wave?"

Xing was very confident: "One thousand percent!"

But Bronya sighed instead:

"You act so confident that I feel guilty... This is not as simple as helping a kid make snowballs...

"Although I have witnessed everything along the way, I still find it hard to believe what you said, especially when you said that it was the star core that bewitched my mother. But she is such a strong and intelligent person, how could she..."

Xing shook her head:

"It is precisely because of your strength and intelligence that you may be easily taken advantage of by the Star Core."

"…What do you mean by that?"

Xing analyzed to Bronya:

“Do you think, from your mother’s perspective, how desperate is Beloberg’s situation?”

"——The expansion of the rift will never stop. It can only be delayed by human lives. The earth's marrow that maintains heating will eventually be mined out. As a ruler, she obviously sees no hope. Even after she is gone, you will have to face all of this. So..."

"When a star core that has demonstrated its power whispers in your mother's ear every day, painting a picture of a perfect new world that everyone can go to, I don't think it's surprising that she would choose to believe it - because a person who is about to die of thirst will not care whether the glass of water in front of him is poisonous or not."

"..."

After a while, Bronya nodded:

"You're right. Mother Cocolia... I really can't agree with or understand some of her decisions. Especially, without the Silver Mane Guards, the lower district has become so dilapidated... I just hope that the people of Beloberg can live a better life, but what should I do..."

"Don't think too much about it now. There is an old saying in Xianzhou that goes, "When a car reaches a mountain, there will always be a road, and when a boat reaches a bridge, it will naturally go straight."

Xing patted Bronya's shoulder.

"Tomorrow, we will go find Swarovski and find out everything about the star core. Then we may know what to do next. As long as we help each other, things will definitely turn around."

Bronya looked at Xing, who was rarely serious, and nodded:

"Then... accompany me for a walk underground and forget about these troubles for a while."

The two continued to walk forward. Xing resisted the urge to rummage through the trash cans and piles of debris on the side of the road and followed Bronya's pace.

But soon, they heard two familiar voices saying these words in front of them.

"I understand. I'll go to Rivet Town and get your things back for you..."

“It’s too risky for you to go alone, why don’t you ask Oleg to send someone to go with you?

"Uncle and the others haven't slept for several days. You should take a rest first. If you insist on going on, you won't be able to help me and will be a burden. Besides, didn't you say that some miners are seriously injured? Time is life..."

After turning the corner, it was Xier and Natasha who appeared in front of them. Xing listened to their conversation and felt like he was finally alive.

She immediately stepped forward and said, "It seems that we have arrived at the right time?"

Volume 052: Under the Sun: Heading to Rivet Town

Seele looked at Xing and Bronya who were not sleeping late at night and frowned slightly:

"No, I think you guys came at a bad time. Aren't you two taking a rest? Going out at this time... don't you have any bad intentions?"

[Hey, this little girl...]

Bronya naturally couldn't help but retort: ​​"I couldn't sleep and just went out for a walk. Please take back your groundless accusations."

Xi'er snorted coldly: "Then go somewhere else, can't you see I'm busy?"

"Okay, Xier..."

Natasha looked at the two of them with a smile on her face.

"Please don't mind it. Xi'er is a typical person who is hard on the outside but soft on the inside. She means no harm, and... maybe you guys really came at the right time."

Xing nodded: "It's easy to ask for help. Just ask Xier to call me good sister and I will help."

"You're thinking shit!"

Seeing Xi'er who refused to scream, Natasha could only look at Xing in embarrassment:

"This is difficult... How about I shout for Xier?"

[You are suddenly excited, having Natasha, who has the temperament of a good mother, call you sister...hiss, it feels a bit like the excitement of identity swapping play]

Xing's thoughts drifted to some strange images again, and she blushed and shook her head:

"Still... no, just tell me how I can help you, Sister Nata."

So, Natasha explained the current situation to the two of them - because of the conflict in the mining area, the clinic was now overcrowded, and what was worse was that because the incident happened suddenly, the clinic's medical supplies were almost running out.

"The only way now is to go to the eroded city to collect usable supplies, but... because the rift is spreading underground, there are monsters wandering everywhere. If you want to get something out of it, you have to risk your life."

"Since it involves human lives, let us help."

Bronya beside him also nodded: "That's right, I have a lot of experience in dealing with world rifts."

Xi'er was arrogant again: "Humph, then... don't hold me back when the time comes."

[Not to talk nonsense, but it might hinder you in the future]

Please tell me how to break it, thank you.

[How else can I break it apart? Of course I have to break it apart, and then do this and that. With Xier's personality, she will definitely not be wrong.]

"Xi'er didn't refuse, which means she has recognized you. I can rest assured that you are with her. Come on, I will make a list of supplies for you."

Natasha immediately wrote down the necessary supplies for the three people on a small piece of paper.

"The place you are going to is called Rivet Town. Go down the mountain road in the north and you will see it in no time. That place... is actually Xier and I's hometown. At that time, Rivet Town had not yet been infiltrated by the Rift. I was originally managing an orphanage and clinic there. Because of the erosion, I had to move to this Rock Town. After all, I had to ensure that I could survive first before I had the opportunity to treat more people..."

Xing heard this and asked curiously, "Did Xier also go to Sister Nata's orphanage before?"

"correct."

Xing immediately glanced at Bronya beside him.

[It's so strange. You always thought that Bronya and Seele should be in the same orphanage, but... Bronya became the daughter of the Great Guardian Cocolia.]

"Let me see... The steel plates and bandages used to fix broken bones are running out. There is a market in the center of Rivet Town. When the townspeople evacuated, they left a lot of goods there. I'll take the trouble to look for them. Then there's medical alcohol. I stockpiled a lot of it in the orphanage because the kids often fought. I didn't take it with me when we evacuated... I hope it hasn't expired yet. Finally, there's painkillers. There should be a batch left in the old laboratory. I hope they haven't been destroyed by monsters... Anyway, these are the most urgently needed. Take as many as you can find. Be careful on your way and don't force yourself."

Xing patted his chest confidently: "Don't worry, Nata, no matter how many useful things there are, I can move them to you!"

Xier also nodded and led the way to the north: "I will try to come back as soon as possible and settle those patients as soon as possible, so that I can be freed from their screams and howls as soon as possible."

Watching Xier walk away without looking back, Natasha sighed and looked at the remaining two people:

"Please don't mind her. Xi'er has always been like this since she was a child. She is strong-willed, impulsive, and a little difficult to approach for strangers... But she is actually a partner worth entrusting your life to. As long as you spend some more time with her, you will understand."

Xing immediately nudged Bronya with his elbow and said, "Did you hear me? Go and get close to her later."

"What do you mean...stick to each other?" Bronya looked puzzled. "You mean...build a good relationship? But why do you want me to go?"

Xing looked at Bronya who was unmoved and sighed:

"Hey, I've already told you that he's the most important person in your future..."

"...?"

Following Xier's footsteps, the three of them moved forward and soon arrived at a high point in Rivet Town. Looking at the entire town, there was no trace of life here now, it was pitch black, and looked like a ghost town.

Xier pointed to the hillside in the distance:

"Look, that house is Natasha's former orphanage. Natasha told me that the house was donated by a wealthy businessman. Uncle Oleg picked me up and sent me there. I spent most of my childhood in the orphanage. I really miss those carefree days when I was a child..."

Bronya stared at the house in a daze for some reason. She vaguely felt that...she seemed somewhat familiar with the house.

The three continued to move forward, preparing to go to the market that Nata mentioned. On the way, they soon saw some wandering fission monsters, most of which were humanoid monsters holding halberds, either ice type or fire type. It was a pity that this combination of ice and fire posed no threat in front of the three people with special skills.

"Here it is. Let's look around and see if there's anything useful."

In addition to the messy stalls, there are many shops around the market square. It can be seen that this place was quite prosperous before it was cracked and eroded. It's a pity that almost all items are now covered with a thick layer of dust.

Xing looked at a dark shop and pointed:

"This is... a restaurant?"

Xier glanced at it and said, "It's the one with the best reputation in town. Nata will bring children with good performance to improve the food."

"Has she brought you here before?" Bronya asked. She always had a strange sense of déjà vu along the way.

"Am I that kind of good kid? Of course not."

Xing looked at the various tableware and sundries inside, which were covered in dust but still intact, shrugged, and put them directly into the star core space.

Seeing the surprised expressions on the faces of the two people standing by, Xing explained his abilities to them.

"The lower districts are so poor anyway, if we can take these things back, they can at least help to make a difference, right?"

"That's true."

Xier nodded, her eyes still filled with uncontrollable surprise.

"Are all of you nameless guests... so... magical? You actually have such a convenient ability?"

Xing thought about it and felt that Danheng and Sanyue seemed to be able to take out their weapons at any time, but they probably couldn't serve as human-shaped space bags like himself.

When Xing thought of this, he immediately became motivated: "In this case, why not use it? Let's turn this market upside down and take everything we can find!"

Volume 053: Under the Sun of Yu Tongheng: Past Events in the Orphanage

With the help of Xing, the three people's original journey to collect supplies seemed to have turned into a demolition journey.

Xier knew very well that there was nothing missing in the lower area nowadays, even an abandoned steel pipe could be put to use, so no matter whether it looked useful or not, she collected them all and threw them to Xing.

After all, it is really dangerous inside the rift. If ordinary people were to take it, they would definitely not choose these things that are difficult and not cost-effective to take back. Not only is it time-consuming and laborious, but they also have to risk their lives - in just a short while, the actions of the three people would have attracted several waves of wandering monsters.

The steel plates and bandages Nata needed were quickly found, and the three of them almost emptied the entire market. The joy of the big harvest brought a rare smile to Xier's face.

"Great, although most of them are just miscellaneous items, this amount can help a lot of people. Dihuo will use them where they are needed."

Xing immediately put her hands on her hips and said, "Then call me good sister? Otherwise, I won't take it out."

"You——" Xi'er was angry again, "I just changed my mind about you, and you can't..."

"Okay, Xing, stop teasing Xi'er."

[Look, this is the beginning of protecting one’s shortcomings]

Bronya on the side looked at the list given by Natasha.

"The next thing is... medical alcohol. It seems that only the orphanage has it."

Xing was a little worried: "It's been so long, does alcohol really still have an effect?"

Xi'er shrugged. "It's better than nothing. You don't think the people in the lower districts care about the expiration date, do you? The guys up there will only exchange some food and basic supplies for us. They won't give us medical supplies or anything like that."

So Bronya felt guilty again, which made Xing glare at Seele unhappily.

The three of them walked through the winding Rivet Town and finally found the way to the orphanage, and then climbed the stairs along the way.

Bronya looked at the shops and signs along the way, her expression becoming even more confused - she felt more and more as if she had been here before.

"We're here. It's been so long... This place hasn't changed at all. Let's go..."

Xier looked around with some nostalgia, and just as she was about to step forward, Xing beside her suddenly stopped her.
