"But... Lady Bronya, you..."
Jeppard said hesitantly.
"Don't worry, I'll go with you."
Bronya pursed her lips and said this.
-----------------
While the rift above ground was in turmoil, the rift below ground seemed quite quiet.
only.
The conflict between vagrants and miners has intensified.
"Damn it...Hand over the troublemakers to me! I must have an explanation today."
"You are a bunch of stray dogs. We took you in out of kindness, and this is how you repay us?"
"They are all bastards!"
"..."
The excited miners stood in front of the wanderers' settlement, waving their pickaxes and denouncing the wanderers' actions.
"So... why did they quarrel?"
March 7 looked at the scene in front of him and asked curiously.
Xier showed a surprised expression:
"Didn't I tell you?"
March 7th Bear spreads his hands:
"No."
"All right……"
Xier had no choice but to simply introduce the current situation to the train crew.
There used to be many mining areas underground, but in recent years the rift has continued to spread underground, and many mines have suffered and can no longer be mined.
The mining area where the conflict occurred is now relatively intact and the environment is relatively clean.
A group of wanderers whose hometown was eroded by the rift settled down here.
Some vagrants with bad character would fight with the miners every few days and often steal the miners' supplies - these were considered minor fights.
The situation this time is even more serious.
A large-scale conflict broke out between the wanderers and the miners for unknown reasons, and the scene was quite ugly.
"The mining area is the lifeline of the underground. Only by ensuring the supply of the underground marrow can we get the rationed materials from the ground through the transportation line."
Xier explained to the train crew:
"In order to calm the situation, Chief Oleg led [Underground Fire] into the mining area and handed the town's security to me, but the situation inside is tense, so I have to go and provide support..."
"I see."
San Yueqi nodded in sudden realization.
Fu Qian also showed a thoughtful look and asked Xier:
"Those homeless people...are they black-skinned? Will they yell that I love the underground?"
"What's this mess?"
Xier was puzzled by this and said:
"Of course the skin of the homeless is not black. They live underground without seeing the sun for years, so they can't turn black even if they want to."
Just when Xier was about to ignore these neurotic guys in the train crew.
When you are ready to go and maintain order.
A familiar figure caught Xier's attention.
"That's... Natasha? Even she's here. It seems the situation is more serious than I thought."
Xier was very surprised by this.
And there was a figure next to Natasha, which attracted the attention of the entire train crew.
"that is not……"
Just as San Yueqi was about to say something, Xing covered her mouth.
At the same time, he raised a finger in front of his face:
"Shh..."
San Yueqi finally reacted and nodded obediently.
That's right.
The one standing next to Natasha now is the Great Guardian Cocolia.
But now she is wearing a white coat and a tight mask on her face. No one can tell her identity except the train crew.
Chapter 19 Can I poke your belly button?
"Why would she come here..."
San Yueqi asked in a low voice, with a look of surprise on his face.
Fu Qian was not surprised by this.
And he thinks this is a very good signal.
"It doesn't matter, we'll just watch the show."
Fu Qian touched San Yueqi's head and said casually.
Xing, who was standing by, directly pulled his hand off San Yue Qi's head, and then San Yue Qi hugged him tightly in his arms.
It was as if declaring sovereignty to Fu Qian.
"Huh? Xingbao, what are you doing?"
San Yueqi was a little confused, but still leaned obediently in Xing's arms.
Xing rested his chin on San Yue Qi's head and said in a muffled voice:
"……fine."
Do not know why.
When Xing saw Fu Qian and San Yueqi doing some intimate actions, she felt inexplicably angry.
"It must be because this guy is too annoying. We need to keep Sanyue away from this bastard."
Xing thought so in his heart.
Fu glanced at Xing and couldn't help but said sarcastically:
"The mice are hoarding food?"
"Humph."
Xing snorted coldly, turned his head away, and said nothing, looking like he didn't want to pay any attention to Fu Qian.
Dan Heng on the side shifted his gaze to the other side with an expressionless face.
Tsk, I didn't see it.
March 7th still looked confused, not knowing what was going on.
As for Xier.
It is naturally even more impossible to notice the interaction between the train sets.
Xier walked up and asked Natasha:
"Nata, I didn't expect you to be here too. Where is Oleg?"
Natasha turned around and greeted everyone:
"Hi, Xi'er, and... the guest outside, it seems you already know each other?"
Everyone nodded in response.
"I didn't see Oleg either. The miners said they saw him leading a group of people deeper into the mines."
Natasha said this to Xier.
"Is this so..."
Xier nodded, then looked at Cocolia behind Natasha and asked:
"Who is this?"
Suddenly, the atmosphere around became a little tense.
Although the contact time was not long.
But everyone can also see that Xier is the kind of person who is straightforward and unpretentious.
If she knew Cocolia's true identity.
I really don't know what will happen then.
after all……
It can almost be said that the reason why life underground is so difficult is due to Cocolia alone.
Fortunately, Natasha just explained casually:
"The assistant I just found can help me share some of the pressure."
As she spoke, Natasha pointed to the other corner, where a group of people were lying on the ground, covered in bandages and blood, groaning in pain.
"There were clashes between miners and local thugs these days, and many people were injured. I couldn't handle it alone, so I found a helper in the clinic."
After hearing Natasha's explanation.
Xier had no doubts and let down her guard.
She looked at Natasha with some concern and said:
"I see. If you need anything else, remember to tell me."
As she spoke, Xier nodded towards Cocolia, with a hint of gratitude in her eyes.
Cocolia was stunned for a moment, then nodded in response.
"So...why did it come to this?"
Xier turned back and asked Natasha.
Natasha replied:
"It is said that the First Mining Team discovered a vein of Earth Marrow with astonishing reserves. Preliminary estimates suggest that this is probably the largest vein discovered in the past thirty years."
"real or fake?"
Xi'er was a little unconvinced:
"Such big news, how come I haven't heard a word about it?"
Natasha was also helpless about this:
"They don't want to make it public. Most of the mining areas have been contaminated by the Rift. Many people have lost their jobs. If the news gets out, I'm afraid the miners will be scrambling to get a job."
Natasha said, looking back at the wanderer camp behind her, and continued:
"But the mining team can't hide it from the wanderers here. After all, they are not blind. Some hooligans want to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune and ask for hush money from the mining team... This violates their bottom line."
Fu Qian, who was enjoying the fun, said:
"We should beat them up. The mineral vein is ownerless. Whoever finds it owns it."
Natasha glanced at Fu Qian and said:
"This is indeed the law of the underground, but the wanderers also shouted their own rules: whoever sees it gets a share. The result... was a violent conflict between the two groups, resulting in heavy losses."
