Natasha sighed:

“First come, first served, that’s the rule in the underground… but you can’t talk about rules with a bunch of lazy bums.

So, are you here to help?"

"That's not it."

Xier pointed to the interior of the mining area and said, "They came to look for Boss Oleg. They seemed to be looking for something, but they just happened to run into this incident.

Oh, yes, since you have something to ask of me..."

She suddenly thought of something and reached out to poke Yue Yan:

"Then why not do us a favor? I see you guys are pretty good at fighting. If we can solve this together, we'll be doing a good deed that day."

The members of the train crew reached a consensus with almost no discussion and agreed to this proposal - after all, they came to help and would need the other party's assistance later, so it would be a good choice to let Dihuo owe them a favor at this time.

Walk a little further and leave the camp, and you can see that the road leading to the real mining area has been blocked by a wire mesh fence. There are a few vagrants holding weapons standing there, and several miners are communicating with them, wanting them to release some injured miners.

But the other party refused to agree and refused to let go no matter what was said. His arrogant and unreasonable look made people's blood pressure rise.

"Why don't we just tear down this fence and go in and beat the crap out of them?"

The corners of Xingqi's mouth twitched, and she took out her baseball bat - she was almost sure that the guys opposite her couldn't even withstand a single blow from her, but she was held down by Yue Yan the next second.

Although she was also very angry at this moment, she was calmer and shook her head:

"No, absolutely not. There must be more than just these few on the other side... Look over there, there are still many wanderers, all holding weapons, and some even have muskets.

Once we break the blockade and beat the people, it will inevitably lead to a full-scale conflict between the miners and the wanderers...

Although we don't have to worry about getting hurt, it doesn't mean that ordinary people can withstand the attacks of the wanderers. There is a high probability of casualties in the chaos, which will make it even more difficult to deal with.

Be good, don't be impulsive... I'll make you something delicious after this is over."

Hearing this, Xing could only put down his weapon with some regret:

"Well... okay then."

A frontal attack was impossible, so everyone could only start looking for other ways - the roads in the mining area were complicated, and there was more than one road leading to the ore vein. After asking several miners who worked there regularly, they found a road that "theoretically" could still lead into the mining area.

Just need to take a longer detour.

On the road, we can see many anxious families of miners, who seem to want to use this path to enter the mining area and rescue their loved ones. Some members of the underground fire team are trying to dissuade them.

At the same time, on the steel frame bridge, a member of the Underfire team named Irene provided everyone with a clue - when the Underfire miners and the wanderers were fighting fiercely, a large group of robots suddenly emerged from nowhere, forcibly expelled all the people from all camps, and occupied and blocked the interior of the mine.

They originally thought that the mining machines of the mining team were out of control, but they soon discovered that those were not the assets of the mining team at all. There were too many of them, and their actions were highly purposeful. It seemed that someone else was controlling these automatic robots.

……

"Wait a minute, there's movement..."

After walking for a while, Xier suddenly became alert. She slowed down her pace, stuck to the wall, and moved forward carefully, keeping the noise to a minimum. Everyone followed suit, and sure enough, they found a small group of people arguing in front of them.

It seemed that they belonged to two different groups, confronting each other. One group was a group of armed wanderers, more than a dozen people, while the other group was a group of unarmed miners' families, only three people.

"You bastard, you bully the weak and fear the strong. Where did your arrogance go? Why can't you hold it up in front of Swarovski's minions?!"

The miners were led by a tall, heroic-looking 30-year-old woman, who was pointing at the Rangers' noses and spewing trash talk.

"Didn't your parents teach you what backbone is? Or are you just born with too much spine to be strong?!"

But the wanderer was not ashamed, but proud of it, and said directly:

"I'm telling you, my parents died a long time ago, don't try that on me!"

There was even some pride in his tone:

"Besides, don't play it safe here... You've dug up such a large mineral vein, and you're actually thinking of keeping it all to yourself, hiding the news. How shameless of you!"

The woman was furious when she heard this: "How shameless! This mining area is originally our territory. The brothers and sisters in the mining team work day and night. It's hard to dig out the mineral vein. What do you have to do with it?"

"A bunch of lazy bastards. I couldn't see you when we were mining, but now that you've dug something out, you're asking us for hush money... You're like mad dogs, biting down on the meat once you see it and won't let go."

"You...good, good, good, good, good scolding...I'll smash your filthy mouth to pieces today!"

The wanderer, perhaps annoyed by the scolding, pulled out a homemade gunpowder gun made of an iron pipe from his pocket and pointed it at the leading woman while cursing:

"Son of a bitch, today I have to let you see what..."

"boom!"

But before he could put his hand on the trigger of the gun, a piece of orange-yellow earth marrow crystal with ice spikes attached to it suddenly flew out from the side and hit the head of the wanderer with the gun at lightning speed.

The hard edges of the earth's marrow directly injured his head, and he was immediately injured. He fell face first onto the ground, bleeding profusely...

The scene really had the atmosphere of a murder scene. At first glance, I thought the guy was lying on the ground COSing a plane crash.

But then a large number of tiny ice crystals grew on the blood, spread out, and actually stopped the bleeding.

Seeing that the boss was injured, the wanderers present suddenly panicked.

"who!"

Chapter 46: Why Clara is barefoot

But the people who launched the attack did not give them a chance to react. Suddenly, six people came out from the small path next to them, each holding a weapon, and rushed directly into the crowd, killing people.

There was even a girl who was drinking a drink while using an icy kitchen knife to physically persuade the vagrants to surrender.

After all, reality is not a game. If those iron guards who practiced the principle of protecting their lives could still struggle in front of the train crew, these thugs wandering the streets with primitive weapons were like fish on a chopping board and could be slaughtered at will.

In less than 10 seconds, the thugs who had been so arrogant as to say "God is the boss, earth is second, and I am the third" all lay on the ground, wailing and struggling. Some of them were covered with a thick layer of frost that restricted their movements and completely lost their fighting ability - that was the result of the white mango cold drink.

"Antonina, how are you? Where is Oleg?"

After tying up all these people and throwing them aside, Xier hurriedly found the leading miner, briefly checked his injuries, and breathed a sigh of relief after finding that there was nothing wrong.

"Xier, I'm glad you came."

Antonina wiped the cold sweat from her forehead:

We are fine... Captain Oleg took a group of people into the mining area. He wanted to drive away the invading robots and take back control of the mining area.

But as soon as he left, those hooligans couldn't help but start making trouble."

As she spoke, Antonina glanced disdainfully at the wailing homeless people beside her: "A bunch of scum who only know how to bully the minority with their numbers."

"robot……"

Xier thought after hearing this:

"So, are those gathered in the mines now... those automatons from Svarro? If it's him, then that makes sense. After all, that guy is known in this underground world for being a troublemaker and having to take care of everything."

"From the looks of it, it's him..."

"Who is Swaro?"

Sanyue scratched his head: "I think I've heard it somewhere before..."

Xier explained:

"Svarro—commonly known as Big Svarro, that guy is a robot. He inexplicably appeared about a decade ago after the Silvermane Iron Guard evacuated the underground. In just a few years, he became the local bully in the lower district.

He calls himself the protector of humanity, and all ownerless robots obey his orders. His jurisdiction is quite extensive, and basically, whenever there's a large-scale disturbance, he'll intervene.

"A robot that acts autonomously and is not controlled by humans. Is there such a thing in the lower district?"

Bronya looked incredulous: "How come I've never heard of it..."

Xier almost subconsciously said:

"Huh, there are so many things in the lower district that you haven't heard of."

"you……"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Yue Yan hurriedly acted as a peacemaker, saying that there was no need to delay the progress at this time, and that the main task was to quickly resolve the trouble in the mining area.

It took a lot of effort to persuade them, and I couldn't help but feel a little tired -

Alas, I have to be a third wheel... It's okay to eat dog food from time to time, but I also have to be a wingman part-time.

After they get married, I will definitely show them off with a box of wedding wine at the wedding banquet!

……

After walking for a while, they finally approached the giant mineral vein. The scene was quite shocking. The interior of the mine was filled with giant yellow crystals one or two people tall. Some of them even glowed with blue light. One could imagine how pure this stuff was.

But after approaching here, those so-called robots appeared in everyone's sight - they came in all sizes and models, and some were even modified with offensive equipment.

However, they have no desire to attack. They will only be driven away when they get close enough. If they continue to get closer, they will be subjected to substantial attacks, but they will still not be fatal.

……

"There's a huge gap between these automatons."

After stabbing a tooth wolf's core with a single blow, Yue Yan shook off the parts stuck on his kitchen knife: "Some are civilian modifications, while others are legitimate... This Swarovski has a mixed bag of people under his command."

These automatic robots are an insurmountable gap for ordinary people, but they are just a minor trouble for the Destiny Walker. It is not particularly easy to clean them up, but they do not require too much effort.

After clearing all the machines blocking the road, everyone continued on their way and finally arrived in front of the mine after a few minutes.

At this moment, there stood a tall robot and a barefoot little girl in red clothes and white hair...

She walks barefoot like this... doesn't it hurt?

At that moment, Yue Yan raised this question in the depths of his soul - it was obvious that the other party was not wearing any socks or shoes on his feet, and was standing barefoot on the ground like in the game, and it was obvious that he could be easily injured.

So she put away the kitchen knife, walked up to Clara under Swarovski's gaze, pointed at her feet, and asked seriously:

"Little boy, why aren't you wearing shoes? Don't you have any? If you don't, I can buy you a pair... It's easy to scratch your soles if you walk barefoot like this."

If they were playing a game, Yue Yan could naturally go crazy over little Clara's jade feet, but this was reality, and she had to worry about the child's feet.

If you are scratched by mineral fragments or something, it will be very difficult to deal with the infection, especially in a place with a lack of medical care and medicine. Even if you are rescued, you will probably lose half your life.

"Eh?"

Clara was a little nervous when she saw the tall, beautiful black-haired girl walking towards her. Even Swarovski was already on guard, but she didn't expect the other party to ask this question...

"No, it's not."

Clara quickly defended herself: "It's because wearing shoes makes my feet feel stuffy and tired... I don't go out very often, and even if I do go out occasionally, I will be very careful not to hurt myself."

"That does not work……"

Yue Yan shook his head and then looked at Shiwaro:

"Are you her parent?"

Shiwaro shook his head, then nodded:

"Clara is my family... and I'm her guardian."

"That's the parents... If you can, buy this child a pair of shoes. Even if she doesn't like them, make sure she wears them when she's out in the world..."

Especially in places like mining areas, where there are rocks and mineral fragments everywhere, it is easy to scratch the soles of your feet, and if they get infected, it will be very serious. "

Yue Yan spoke very seriously, and Shiwaro obviously listened to him. After a moment's thought, he uttered a cold, magnetic, mechanical voice:

“Stranger, your suggestion is valid and reasonable and should be adopted…Thank you for your suggestion, I will get her a new pair of shoes.

Clara."

"Ah, I'm here!"

"Let's go back to the core first. You should wear a pair of shoes. I was inconsiderate about this... For safety reasons, you must wear shoes when you go out in the future."

Clara: "Okay, Mr. Swarlow..."

Chapter 47: Killing enough for a month!

"besides……"

Before leaving, Swarovski took another deep look at Yue Yan—the red visual module was flashing with the emotions of life, followed by his cold mechanical voice.

"I should have stopped you here. After all, humans tend to act against rationality. Putting you in charge of the mining area would likely lead to another conflict. However, my creator added a beta-type experimental module called intuition when designing me. This allows me to incorporate some non-objective conditions into my calculations..."

Everyone was silent for a moment, listening to each other quietly, while Swarovski's tone did not change.

Maybe its designer didn't add this function.

"The intuition module tells me—"
