Gu Tang pointed ahead and said.
The two walked in the dim underground for a while and soon came across a camp.
The camp was of some size, and appeared to house about a hundred people.
Dust-covered tents were set up in disorder on the ground, a fire was burning in the middle of the open space, and various mining tools were piled in wooden boxes.
It can be seen that the residents are living in the camp, and everyone looks tired and thin.
Bronya frowned.
Are all residents in the lower class areas living in such poor conditions? I hope this is just an isolated case...
"Okay, let them help us." Gu Tang stepped forward.
Bronya looked at him and reminded him, "Have you thought about how to negotiate? My identity as an Iron Guard is actually a burden here."
"Don't worry, Bronny Duck. My negotiation skills are strong enough to make crabs and rocks fall in love."
"It's Bronya!"

----------------------------------------
Under the leadership of Sambo, March 7 and his group came to a town in the lower area.
"This is... the lower area of Beloberg." March 7 looked around in surprise.
It was completely different from the upper area they had seen before, which was splashed with golden sunlight.
There is no sunlight here forever, only thick rock layers above their heads.
The architectural style of the upper area is gorgeous, but the buildings here are obviously more solid and durable, without too much decoration, and are all low bungalows.
Almost all residents are engaged in mining. Miners carrying hoes and wearing safety helmets can be seen everywhere, as well as boxes of mined earth marrow.
Dust seemed to be always floating in the air, mixed with the pungent smell of mechanical operation.
"It's completely different from the upper district, right? You'd better not say that in front of the people in the lower district. They hate people from the upper district." Sambo led the way in front and introduced the things about the lower district to everyone.
Dan Heng nodded: "It is understandable. After all, in the eyes of the residents of the lower district, I have been abandoned by the upper district and the Silver Mane Iron Guard."
"Oh, brother Danheng is still reasonable." Sangbo rubbed his hands and said with a wry smile.
Xing looked at Sangbo, "It sounds like this place is very chaotic. Is there any way to find clues about Gu Tang?"
"That's right, this is the most important thing now!" San Yueqi was a little excited, "Now Gu Tang and that female guard are alone together, do you know what this means!"
"Hmm... is it possible that Gu Tang was caught by her?" Xing tilted his head.
San Yueqi shook his head: "Not only that, look at how handsome Gu Tang is... He might be regarded as a slave by her!"
"Ah?" Xing was stunned.
"Maybe now the woman has taken off all her clothes and is only wearing black tights, standing in front of the ancient hall." March 7 continued with his guess.
Dan Heng looked at her in surprise: "Sanyue, you are so understanding."
"I've been addicted to the Internet lately... Don't interrupt me! Anyway, Gu Tang must be in danger now!" March 70 said with certainty.
Xing frowned and thought.
She originally wanted to refute March 7, saying that this speculation was nonsense.
But she put herself in Bronya's position and imagined it.
……………………Don’t say it, please don’t say it.
"Hehe, don't worry, my two aunts. I, Sangbo, have already thought of a good solution." Sangbo coughed twice and brought the topic back to prevent San Yueqi from continuing to drive.
"Oh? You have a plan too?" Xing looked at Sangbo.
Sambo smiled and said, "Hehe, although there are no Silver Mane Iron Guards in the lower area, we have Earth Fire."
Dan Heng: "Earth Fire? It sounds like the name of an organization."
"Yes, in my words, they are a bunch of idiots, straightforward and stubborn." Sambo shrugged. "To be more serious, they are a group of practical people who spontaneously organized themselves to maintain the order of the underground. After the Iron Guards withdrew from the underground, the order of the underground was maintained by the underground fire."
"Why not call me Skyfire? It sounds cooler." Xing asked Sambo.
Sambo: "Because it is an underground organization (in the physical sense)."
Xing: “…………That does make some sense.”
"That doesn't make sense." San Yue Qi complained, then looked at Sang Bo, "I know that Di Huo is very capable, but why should they help us?"
"Oh~ With your skills, are you still worried about not having bargaining chips? The troubles of the underground fire will never be solved. As long as you lend a helping hand, won't you have reason to get help?" Sangbo's eyes were sincere.
"Yes, troubles will never be solved, including you, Sambo." A female voice sounded behind Sambo.
A huge sickle was placed on Sambo's neck, just a few inches away from his carotid artery.
Sambo didn't dare to move, and immediately raised his hands to show his surrender, saying, "Miss Xi...Miss Xier, what a coincidence, I was just about to bring these people to find you."
"Hmph, you just keep causing trouble for us." Xier put away the sickle and kicked Sambo in the butt.
This is a girl with long blue-purple hair, and her sharp eyes seem to be able to see through other people's bodies.
Wearing a light purple-blue outfit, she looks capable yet beautiful, making her look more flamboyant.
On her left arm, a long red scarf was wrapped, like a fluttering flame.
She herself is like a sharp sickle that can kill the enemy in an instant.
"This person... doesn't seem easy to get along with." March Seven said to Xing in a low voice.
"We have to touch her soul with our sincere hearts, March 7." Xing replied.
Her hands quietly grasped the bat behind her back.
Xier looked at Sambo and frowned: "Strange...I haven't seen you for a few days, you seem to be more effeminate."
Dan Heng and Xing looked at San Yue Qi at the same time.
San Yueqi scratched his head in embarrassment.
Sambo wanted to explain, but Xier lost interest in the next second and turned her head away: "Forget it, it's none of my business. The point now is, who are these people?"
Her eyes swept across March 7 and his group like a knife.
Dan Heng didn't beat around the bush: "We want to cooperate with Dihuo to find our lost companions."
"Oh, that's quite straightforward, much better than the blue-haired guy over there." Xier nodded.
Sambo looked like he wanted to cry but couldn't.
"It feels like... anyone can bully Sambo." Xing said to March Seven.
San Yue Qi responded very bluntly: "To be honest, this is entirely his own fault."
"Looking for someone? I think it's going to be very troublesome. After so many years of development, the area of the lower area is more than ten times that of the upper area." Xier frowned. "And if your companions meet miners, it's okay. If they meet wanderers, it will be troublesome."
"I believe in my negotiation skills and I won't easily come into conflict with others." Dan Heng said confidently.
------------------------------------------
"Hey! I'm talking to you, you lowly person. Come over here right now. The gentleman next to me has a few questions for you!"
Gu Tang pointed at a homeless person and shouted.
"????"
Bronya looked at his negotiation skills in shock.
Chapter 37 I'm talking about you! Kill him!
"Did you hear that, you bunch of lower class pariahs?"
Gu Tang continued to shout.
Several homeless people gathered around.
"Do you know who you are facing? She is the daughter of the Great Guardian! The leader of the Silver Mane Guard! An elite from the upper district!"
Gu Tang solemnly introduced Bronya to them.
"The Great Guardian who deceived us with sweet words?"
"The Silvermanes who abandoned us?"
"Those upper-district bastards who only know how to exploit us?"
The homeless people surrounded Bronya with a fierce look in their eyes.
Bronya looked at Gu Tang expressionlessly.
"Unfortunately, the negotiation failed." Gu Tang stretched out two fingers and pinched a little bit of space: "Almost, really, just almost."
…………You’ll know you’re wrong when we get back to the upper area.
Bronya thought with gritted teeth.
"Miss, do you have anything to say?" the homeless man asked in a bad tone.
"............Alas." Bronya sighed.
If it were normal, she would definitely explain patiently to this group of people.
But now, she was in a very, very bad mood.
"I find reasoning dull and tedious. Let's just use violence." Bronya took out a gunpowder spear.
-----------------------------------
A few minutes later, more than a dozen homeless people fell at Bronya's feet.
It would be an exaggeration to call this group of loosely organized wanderers thugs. There is no way they can defeat Bronya, who has undergone rigorous training and has fought on countless battlefields.
What's more, there was Gu Tang standing by, quietly adding buffs to Bronya.
The remaining wanderers, holding shovels and spades, looked at Bronya in fear from a distance and did not dare to rush over at all.
"You guy, you actually did such a cruel thing to this group of skinny people, you are simply not a human being." Gu Tang looked at Bronya with disgust.
Bronya looked at Gu Tang and wondered in her mind whether she should kill him now.
She was afraid that she would be pissed off to death by Gu Tang before she could return to the upper district.
"Oh, come and peel it off."
Gutang used Strip on the homeless man lying on the ground.
Unfortunately, these people are really poor and can’t even get anything good from stripping them.
"I'm... very sorry. Please forgive our rudeness, Ms. Bronya." An old man who looked like the leader walked up to Bronya and said tremblingly.
Bronya sighed and put away her weapon: "Please don't be afraid, old man, I just want to ask a few questions."
After a while, several wanderers on the ground woke up, and except for some aches and pains, they were fine.
As soon as they opened their eyes, they saw Bronya communicating with the old man, and they were so scared that they immediately ran away.
"Are you serious, old man?" Bronya frowned.
What poured out from the old man's mouth was the suffering and hardship that the lower class area had experienced over the past decade.
"Hey... Miss Bronya, look at them, look at my companions." The old man pointed his thin finger at the wanderers who were looking at this side from a distance.
There was no light or hope in the eyes of those wanderers, and dust covered their bodies, making them look like zombies.
“………………” Bronya watched all this, not knowing how to respond.
All of this was different from what she had imagined.
Something seemed to be wrong with what she had been holding on to...
"Miss Bronya, what did she say when the Grand Guardian ordered the Silver Mane Guards to withdraw from the lower area?" The old man looked at Bronya with his cloudy eyes and asked.
Bronya was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "The monster activity in the Rift Above has intensified, and the battle on the front lines is tense. We must transfer all the Iron Guards to the front lines. If we can't keep the defense line above ground, the underground will collapse due to the loss of material support."
"...Do you know why we are wanderers, Miss Bronya? Why don't we live in the town, but can only gather here and linger." The old man sighed, "Because the rift has already spread to the lower areas, our homes, the homes of many people, have been swallowed up by the rift."
Many vagrants lowered their heads in sadness after hearing the old man's story.
