On the Star Dome Railway, I became my own character

It is said that the first mining team discovered a new marrow vein with amazing reserves... Preliminary estimates suggest that it is probably the largest mineral deposit discovered in the past thirty years.

Real or false? How come I haven't heard a word about such a big news?

54. I am good at flattening people.

They don't want to make it public. Most of the mining areas have been eroded by the rift, and many people have lost their jobs. If this news gets out, I'm afraid all the miners will be crushed...

Natasha sighed and continued:

But the news cannot be hidden from the homeless people here. After all, they are not blind. Some gangsters want to make a fortune from this and extort hush money from the mining team. This violates their bottom line;

It is an underground law that resources belong to the first discoverer, but the wanderers clamor for their own rules: whoever sees them gets their share. As a result, the two groups of people refused to obey the other, and violent conflicts broke out, resulting in heavy losses.

Speaking of this, Natasha rubbed her brows tiredly.

Are you here to help resolve conflicts in the mining area?

That's not their original intention. Xi'er denied, These people asked for help from leader Oleg, so I brought them here.

Natasha was startled, and subconsciously looked at Zi Shu. Seeing that he was shaking his head imperceptibly, she knew there was no need to ask any more questions.

Xi'er looked at everyone on the train crew and said, Since I have something to ask for, it wouldn't be too much to do a favor, right?

...It sounds like we are very utilitarian. March 7 helplessly spread his hands.

No interest, farewell. Xing put his hands on his hips and turned away from his face, raising his chin proudly, attracting March Qi's inexplicable gaze.

ah?

Wait a minute? !

Are you sober?

The two grown men were used to it, and their expressions did not change. The child was a little scornful, but his intention was not to resist.

It's up to you, I won't force you.

Xi'er didn't care. Anyway, she didn't trust the people on the train crew very much.

As Miss Xi'er said, the current situation in the mining area is not optimistic. We need underground leaders, so naturally we will not choose to sit idly by.

Zi Shu took two steps forward at the right time, first to smooth things over, and then if he had any pointers, he said:

It's just that... our methods are not as gentle as those of Earth Fire. Some guys may have to suffer a lot.

... Natasha pursed her lips.

Don't worry, they are just suffering from physical pain and will not take up scarce medical resources. They are not worthy. Zi Shu added.

Natasha knew Zishu was inoculating herself and nodded lightly.

I understand that reconciling conflicts cannot just rely on talking heads. I hope you will pay attention to your discretion. No matter how excessive those wanderers are, they are still part of the underground, not those man-eating monsters that split the world...

That's very good.

Then I'll leave it to you. I have to take care of the wounded, so excuse me. Natasha walked towards the area where the wounded were temporarily placed.

Zi Shu looked dangerously not far away, where was the entrance to the homeless gathering place.

From there, there was a shortcut to the mining area. With the promise of a real local snake, he didn't have to worry too much.

Xing noticed his gaze and asked: Which way do you want to go?

right.

Xi'er: I advise you to give up the idea. Those guys are so large in number, and several of them have guns in their hands. If you provoke them, they might cause even bigger troubles.

At best, taking a long detour will take more time, but at least it won't cause more trouble at this juncture.

In other words, as long as we can ensure that we don't cause any bigger trouble, it'll be fine, right?

...Theoretically, that's true...but that doesn't mean it can be done if it can be done...

That's no problem. Zi Shu raised the corner of his mouth, In extraordinary times, extraordinary means are used. Sometimes a slap in the face is more effective than any preaching.

The detour is a waste of time. If we resolve this matter earlier, we can lead everyone to find Oleg earlier to get information.

He can't guide everyone to find the star core quickly, and he can't easily shake the trajectory of fate, but at least he can buy precious time that shouldn't be wasted.

That's good!

…what you up to?

Xing stroked his beloved bat and said: You can't beat someone to the point where medical resources are occupied. Let me tell you, if you put a book on someone's chest and then hit him with a stick, there will be pain, but no injuries will be found. .”

March 7: Who taught you this?

Oh, I studied movies.

O.o?

Xi'er heard this inexplicably, and still wanted to persuade Zi Shu and others not to be impulsive, but saw that he had already crossed the crowd and walked straight towards the blocked intersection.

Follow me and have a look. Dan Heng said in a deep voice.

Bronya was the first to follow, obviously she was also worried about whether there would be another big mess.

Behind the blocked entrance, there were about twenty armed homeless people forming a human wall to prevent outsiders from passing through.

They had always paid attention to their surroundings, and Zi Shu and others who were walking towards them quickly attracted their attention.

The gun-wielding homeless man standing at the front seemed to have been stimulated by something, and he immediately raised the gun in his hand.

What are you doing? This road is blocked, no one can come in!

Zi Shu stopped and stopped Xing who was about to take action behind him. He signaled her not to rush. He ignored the black muzzle and mocked:

Is it fun to be in the nest? Do you know what's going on in the mining area now? You blocked the shortcuts to and from the mining area. What's the difference between you and those gangsters?

It's none of our business that you're the only one in the mining area! The homeless man looked like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, with veins popping out on his forehead. Don't confuse us with those gangsters!

Yes, yes, yes, it's none of your business. You wanderers can stick together, but don't be fooled. We have doctors behind us. If the wounded among you don't treat them, there's no telling when the wound infection will worsen...

That's nice! Can you guarantee that you are not here to cause trouble? Don't try to lie to us. No one can come in. I warn you to get out of here, otherwise I will shoot!

The other wanderers with guns also raised their weapons, aiming at Zishu and the people behind him.

The smile on Zi Shu's lips slowly faded.

Being fierce and slanderous is hiding a guilty conscience, not caring about the injured, and being indifferent to human life...

shot?

Zi Shu's face turned cold. He didn't know when he had a blue fan in his hand, and he took the first step to slap the person inside hard.

The biting cold raged through, freezing all the wanderers' bodies below their heads.

He held it lightly with the five fingers of his left hand, and a long knife appeared. He held the handle of the knife with his right hand and activated his exclusive skill.

Everyone only saw Zi Shu holding the handle of the knife without moving, and the knife was not unsheathed, but the weapons in the hands of the wanderers broke into several pieces without any warning.

Only Dan Heng could barely see Zi Shu making a move with his sword.

So fast!

A plot CG was played from the player's perspective, but you couldn't see Zishu using the Yan Mo Dao. You could only see him waving his fan to freeze a few wanderers.

This is what the system and Zishu said about the inconsistency between the player's plot perspective and his real perspective.

55. Even a slap to you is considered light.

The sudden commotion attracted the attention of Natasha, who was taking care of the patient.

Seeing the frozen figure on the other side of the blockade, he let go of his worries.

Zi Shu acted in a measured manner and did not break his promise.

You, you, you...what did you do?!

Many of the wanderers were startled, and looked at Zishu and his group with horror.

They understood that they had encountered a problem.

Let us go, what's the point of bullying the weak?

It's true that you are people from the Earth Fire, right? If you have such strong skills, why don't you guard the border of the rift and attack ordinary people like us here? Do you have any shame?

That's it, I don't even have to face it anymore!

Zi Shu and Dan Heng didn't react at all when they heard these questions. Xing Ye was okay, but the other three older girls were different.

March 7th's eyebrows stood up, and she didn't understand why those wanderers could say such things.

Before she could say anything, Xi'er strode forward with a sickle in hand.

Huh? Are we shameless? What did you do when Earth Fire was working hard to protect the people in the lower district?

The veins on the back of Xi'er's hands appeared, and she said in a cold voice: You broke out into a large-scale conflict with the staff in the mining area, and stirred up a mess of water, allowing those rogues to take advantage of the loopholes and expand the scope of the conflict again!

The erosion of the rift has not stopped for a moment, and the disputes deep in the mining area have not ended yet. However, you block the nearest access to the mining area at this critical moment, and you still say that we don't have any shame?

Many people in the Earthly Fire live with their heads on their waists every day, working hard without complaining. What do they want?

She didn't want to cause another conflict in this troubled year, but now she really wanted to hit someone. The ground fire did not exist to protect these brainless idiots.

Your fists are naturally justified, and you are working hard for the people in the lower areas? Bah! Then why is the scope of the erosion of the cracked world getting larger and larger, and why do so many people become one of us?

There was a homeless man with a sarcastic face. If his whole body hadn't been frozen, his finger would have been pointed at Xi'er's nose.

It's so funny that you can enjoy everyone's gratitude by doing trivial things, and have people in this world salute you. Apart from taking care of some trivial things, have you really done anything extraordinary? ?”

At first, Xi'er's face just didn't look good. After hearing these words, her eyes turned red, and she released a frightening aura, and the sickle in her hand began to shine with a cold light.

What did you say--?

What, is it uncomfortable to have your tail stepped on or does it hurt your feet to be poked? Little yellow-haired girl, hit me if you can. As long as you dare to hit me, lie down on the ground immediately. Tomorrow, the news of the ground fire beating the homeless will spread everywhere The whole underground!”

Based on your words, let alone beating you, I can just chop you!

Xi'er was about to step forward and teach the other party a lesson, but Bronya grabbed her wrist in time.

release!

Calm down, don't fall for his provocation. Bronya's face didn't look good, If the people underground also lose trust in Earth Fire, it will be difficult to recover.

Although March 7th also wanted to beat those guys up, after hearing Bronya's words, she understood that she was right.

Yes, you don't have to be as knowledgeable as them. If you start a rumor, you will have to refute it. It is difficult to gain a person's trust, but it is extremely easy to destroy it. Calm down, Miss Xi'er.

Xi'er didn't struggle anymore, but a trace of gloom flashed in her lowered eyes.

The illusion she had had in the past arose in her mind, as if the efforts she had put in over the years were all in vain.

What does ground fire protect?

What did she protect?

Seeing that Xi'er didn't dare to act rashly, the wanderer who originally spoke suddenly shouted loudly, and his loud voice completely attracted everyone nearby.

Help, the guys from the Earth Fire Organization want to kill someone!

If someone starts, someone will follow behind.

We are just blocking the intersection to seek a sense of security. The people from the underground fire are bullying us, but they also want to freeze us to death!

Natasha reacted the fastest and looked solemnly at the source of the sound, but she did not see the image of the Earthfire members trying to kill people in the words of the wanderer.

But the next second, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Zi Shu and Xing, who were standing at the front, made the same move at the same time. They raised their palms and slapped the screaming wanderer hard on the face.

The wanderers were also stunned. No one expected that they would suddenly take action, and they fell into a daze for a moment.

The wanderers who each took a slap in the face saw stars in their eyes, and their bodies lost their balance and fell to the side.

The two people who were wailing came to their senses. Although they were filled with anger, they could not suppress the fear in their hearts.

They...they actually dared to hit people——

You...you really dare to hit someone?

[Why, fight back if you are not convinced! 】

[A slap in the face is considered light. 】
