Collapse: Nano Brigade Captain's Journey Across the Galaxy

.....................

"Huh? Cocoon?"

"Yes, it is callus, and it is old callus! At that time, I was wondering why a doctor would have such callus on his hands. Now it seems that everything can be explained."

"Ah? What do you mean? I still don't understand. Are you guys talking about some encrypted conversation?"

"Qiong, what I mean is that the real boss of "Earth Fire" is not Oleg as Xier mentioned before, but the doctor sister that March called."

"Oh, so that's how it is. Uh, then why did Xier feel that the situation was more serious when she saw him here?"

"Simple. After all, if the real person in charge of the Earth Fire is her, not Oleg, then why does Xier always call Oleg the boss? The reason is very simple. Either this Oleg wants to seize power and usurp the throne; or this Oleg is just the elected boss. And this doctor is controlling the overall situation behind the scenes."

"Oh, I understand. In other words, if something can make the person behind the scenes show up, then this thing must be no small matter, right? Brother Chen Ye?"

"Yes."

"Then why do we have to look for that guy named Oleg? Why don't we just go and see the doctor directly?"

"March, you have to know that since he wants to stay behind the scenes, it means he doesn't want his identity to be known to others. If we go and disturb him directly like this, he will definitely not be happy, and then we may not achieve our goal."

"Dan Heng is absolutely right, so we should be more cautious and go find Oleg."

...............................

Beyond the connection of consciousness.

"Nata! I didn't expect you to be here too. Where's Oleg?"

"Hi, Xi'er, and the guests from Sambo, it seems that you have already met each other? Well, actually I didn't see Aoli Ge either, but I heard from the miners that he took a group of people deep into the mining area."

"Then, who are these people..." Qiong pointed at the people in front and asked puzzledly.

Natasha replied: "The miners and their families are here to seek justice from the troublemakers. In front of this is the gathering place for the wanderers. As for why the entrance is sealed now? I think they are afraid of revenge from the angry miners."

"I heard that the conflict had caused a lot of injuries, so I came to see if I could help."

"I see. You are worthy of being a doctor. You are worthy of the title of angel in white."

"Ah? Angel in white?"

"Ahaha, it's okay, it's okay. It's just our brother's daily madness. Doctor sister, don't worry about it."

"Oh, I see. But little sister, you don't have to call me Doctor Sister all the time. Just call me Natasha or Nata."

"No problem, Sister Natasha."

"Oh, never mind. Just do as you like."

But Xi'er couldn't stand their chat. She asked irritably, "How did it get to this point?"

"Oh, it is said that the First Mining Team discovered a vein of "earth marrow" ore, and its reserves are astonishing... Preliminary estimates suggest that it is probably the largest mineral deposit discovered in the past 30 years."

"Is this true? How come I didn't hear a single word about such a big thing?"

"Because they don't want to make it public. After all, most of the mining areas have been contaminated by the Rift, and countless people have lost their jobs. If the news gets out, the miners will probably be scrambling to get a job."

"But the mining team couldn't hide the truth from the vagrants living here. After all, they are not blind. So those hooligans wanted to make a fortune from this, so they extorted hush money from the mining team... and this touched their bottom line."

"But this is the price of keeping a secret." Upon hearing this, Qiong said.

"Well... I understand why you think this way. But the underground is going through a difficult time right now... Well, in short, the current situation is that the two groups of people have had a violent conflict, and... suffered heavy losses."

"It's okay. I came here to help resolve the conflicts in the mining area."

"That's daring."

"But that was not the intention of the people behind me. They wanted something from Chief Oleg, so I allowed them to follow."

After saying that, Xier turned around and said to us: "Since you have something to ask of you, then it shouldn't be too much to help you out, right?"

"Ah, after hearing what you said, it seems like we are very utilitarian."

"You can't say that. We are here to help voluntarily."

"That's right, Brother Chen Ye is right!"

"Wow, that's quite kind of you."

"Haha, Xier, I think these people are all kind-hearted." Then he turned to us and said, "As you can see, the situation underground is really difficult. If it is convenient, I hope you can help the people underground."

"No problem! Just leave it to us! Pioneer team - let's go!"

"Let's go!"

As soon as the voice fell, the two ran out happily. Chen Ye and Dan Heng looked at each other in silence. Oh no, the two looked at each other in silence. Finally, Chen Ye spoke: "Ha, with them here, at least the journey won't be boring, right? Let's go, Dan Heng, and this Miss Xier."

"Well, let's go."

After walking for a while, they found a place in front of them where a lot of earth marrow ore was exposed. So Sanyue guessed that place was the center of the conflict, and then he ran over with Qiong.

"By the way, is the person in front sleeping?"

"Let's go up and take a look. Maybe he needs help."

After a conversation, March praised his sleeping skills and learned the whereabouts of the "underground fire".

Then everyone walked forward again and found Miss Irene from the first mining team. They learned that the passage to the mining area had been occupied by a man called "Boss Swarro". After learning this news, everyone checked Irene's physical condition again, and after making sure that she could go back on her own, they continued to go deeper into the mining area.

During the journey, Bronya also raised a question: "Robots that are hostile to humans? I have never heard of such a thing. Robots should obey human orders unconditionally..."

But before Bronya could finish her words, she saw some thugs tinkering with a device similar to an elevator. She also learned from them that they wanted to attack the miners. So, after everyone worked together to beat them away, they got a robot named "Chabao", and their identity as not being a local was also revealed by them.

Although it claimed that its brain wave scanning module was damaged and wanted everyone to take it to the "Star Peace Appliances" store for repair, everyone still took it with them, thinking "what if it's useful?"

When they went down to the mining area, they encountered a group of wanderers who had an argument with several miners. It seemed that a fight was about to break out, but fortunately, they arrived in time and beat them all away. They also learned about Oleg's whereabouts from several miners.

When they learned that the current problem came from this group of robots, the topic inevitably turned to the "Boss Svaro", and learned from Seele that he was the "human guardian" who could control robots. Bronya said she had never heard of such a thing.
