Collapse: Nano Brigade Captain's Journey Across the Galaxy

"Ah, I found it. Here it is. Thank you, Perkins."

"Beep—you're welcome, Clara."

"Hmm? Clara, everyone, put down your weapons. The person below should be the little girl we met deep in the mining area." Chen Ye said to everyone.

Hearing this, everyone put away their weapons. After all, she was just a little girl, and with Chen Ye around, she wouldn't be able to cause any trouble.

"Beep—Warning! Warning! Threat detected!"

Dan Heng stepped forward and said, "We have no intention of provoking a dispute."

"Protect Clara. Activate active defense mode."

"No! Perkins! Don't! Stop! I... I've seen them. They're not bad people, right?" Just as the traffic light next to them was about to attack the crowd, Clara stopped it, explained to it, and said as if to confirm, "Right?".

"That's right, we have no intention of provoking a dispute."

"Yeah, we're just here to look for something, not to fight (March Seven: If others say we won't fight, I'll believe them, but you? How about we take a look at what you did before? Chen Ye: Hey.)"

The traffic light robot named Perkins said, "Beep - command received, threat eliminated, active defense mode is shutting down. Beep - active defense mode is shutting down."

Everyone was relieved when they heard this. It wasn't that they couldn't fight, but they were afraid of hurting the heart of the little girl Clara.

Then everyone heard Clara say, "Brothers and sisters, it's very dangerous here, you should go back quickly."

"We are here to find medicine for the wounded, and we cannot go back until we find it. As for you, it's very dangerous here. Relying solely on that, uh... Perkins, it's simply not possible to protect your safety. You should be the one to go back." Chen Ye replied.

"Ah, well, Clara's here for these painkillers too."

For a moment, both sides were in a stalemate. Finally, it was Clara who spoke first, breaking the silence: "There are many injured people in the Rangers' Camp, and the same is true for the mining team, right? It would be great if everyone could live in peace... Here, these medicines... are for you, I hope they will come in handy." She handed the painkillers to everyone.

But no one answered, but realized that this might be an opportunity to get to know Swarovski. After all, Clara seemed to be very close to Swarovski. So everyone looked at each other and Qiong asked first.

"Clara, what is your relationship with Swarlow?"

Everyone originally thought that Clara would refuse to answer, or that it would take some effort to get her to speak, but unexpectedly, after hearing Qiong's question, Clara smiled and said, "Mr. Swarrow! He is Clara's family. In fact, Clara met Mr. Swarrow when she was very young. He took me by his side and raised me up, so we became family to each other."

"Also, I'm really sorry about what happened in the big mining area before. Mr. Swarovski... He actually doesn't trust humans other than Clara, especially the people of "Earth Fire"..."

"Then why did he want to get involved in the affairs of the large mining area?" Dan Heng asked.

"Because Mr. Swarlow heard that there was a large-scale fight between miners and wanderers... His original intention was to organize everyone to bleed for the mineral vein."

"Also, everyone from the Underworld wants to take everyone away from the lower area, but... Mr. Swarovski... he wants everyone to stay in the lower area! Because... because according to his calculations, the upper area is no longer safe!"

"So, this is why it is guarding the big pillar?" asked Qiong.

"Well, yes, Mr. Swarovski is very persistent." Clara replied.

"Well, then...what is the reason for it to do this? I really can't figure it out."

"Because of 'preservation'."

"Huh? "Protect"? "

"Yes, big sister, it is "preservation"! Because Mr. Swarovski said that his duty is "preservation". To do this, he must make a decision that can preserve the human race."

"Tsk, hiss, why does it feel like he is of the same character as the Great Guardian?" Qiong clicked his tongue and said with a hint of dissatisfaction.

Hearing this, Clara hurriedly said: "I know that everyone in the "Underground Fire" wants to talk to Mr. Swarovski, but... although Clara is not very clear about other things, the only thing she knows is that no matter how many times he comes, Mr. Swarovski's attitude will not change (Chen Ye: Indeed, if it is only the few people in the "Underground Fire", it will not change)."

"So, please believe Clara! Clara will try her best to convince Mr. Swarovski. Sooner or later, he will listen to me..."

"But this planet won't survive until that day!" Qiong interrupted Clara anxiously before she could finish her words.

"But..." However, before Clara could refute, she heard a voice: "Clara? Why are you here?"

"Ah, you are Sister Xi'er from the Underworld! I came here for the painkillers over there..."

Then, Chen Ye told Xier and Bronya all about his conversation with Clara. He spoke so fast that Bronya, who was used to handling official business, couldn't help but feel a headache.

Xier didn't hear anything except the words about helping the homeless find medicine. So she said to Clara, "Why are you helping those homeless people find medicine? Aren't you guys very capable? How can you let a little girl run around like that?!"

"No, no, no, that's not the case. Clara didn't accept anyone's commission, it's just... the living conditions of the wanderers are very poor, and there is no clinic in the settlement, so Clara wants to find some painkillers, hoping to help them. Besides, in fact, they are not bad people (Chen Ye: Even if they are more mature than ordinary children, they are still children after all. Maybe not all of them are bad people, but there must be some bad apples)... Everyone just wants to live a good life."

Xier was speechless, so Clara said, "So, this batch of medicine belongs to Sister Natasha? Then... can you give me some? The wanderers are also seriously injured."

"Well, let's split these painkillers equally."

"Is it really...really possible? Don't we need to ask Sister Natasha for her opinion?"

"It's okay. I know Nata. She won't mind this kind of thing. Although, this will double our cleanup work, but... I'm sure she will understand! Because we've been through this all these years."

"Huh... That's great, thank you Sister Xier."

Bronya asked, "Are you leaving? Do you need us to give you a ride?"

Clara replied, "No... It's okay, Clara is with Perkins, and... I have something to look for here (Note: When Chen Ye activated Balder to massacre in the town, he used the power of the Herrscher of Wind to buff the area around the orphanage. As we all know, sound is transmitted through the vibration of gas, and if the gas does not vibrate, the sound cannot be transmitted, and the power of the Herrscher of Wind can do just that)."

"Okay, then you just be careful." Then she turned around, walked to Chen Ye and said to him: "Um, Mr. Chen Ye, you..." Halfway through her speech, she saw me making an OK gesture, and she immediately understood and didn't ask any more questions.

Xi'er was counting the items on the side: "Well, we have the steel plate, the gauze, the medical alcohol, and the painkiller. OK, we're all done! Let's go, everyone! We should be able to make it in time as I estimated. Let's go back to Panyan Town to report to Nata."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xier found that her feet were off the ground again. She looked around and found that everyone else was doing the same. She also saw the green wind. Then she said with a hint of resentment (?): "Can you tell me in advance next time?"

"Hey, no!"

"I really am..."

"Hahahaha, Xi'er, don't take it seriously! He's just like that. The more you talk about him, the more excited he gets. This should be what is commonly known as a lifelong rebel."

"Huh, I see. It seems that a person as strong as him has the same personality as I did when I was a child. So, my childhood self is equal to him."

"Fuck! What a logical genius! You have figured out how to use this kind of thing where the higher the defense, the lower the defense! It's so scary!"

"Huh? The higher the defense, the lower the defense? What the hell?"

"Phew, fortunately, you are not tainted by this kind of sophistry."

"Hey, don't speak half-heartedly! Do you believe that I will chop you to death one night?"

"Why are you rewarding me?!"

"what?"

On the way back, Xi'er and Chen Ye were fighting the whole time. This was Chen Yan. Even when fighting with Xi'er, she did not forget to clean up those rift monsters. When they returned to Nata's clinic, the monsters in the entire lower area had been almost cleared. As a result, the lower area became the safest place in the entire Beloberg! Of course - only temporarily.

Natasha, who was standing next to the clinic, was stunned when she saw them slowly descending from the sky. However, she was the leader of the "Earth Fire" organization after all, so even though she was confused inside, she remained calm on the surface and waited for Xier to come up and talk to her. Except for Xier, everyone else also cooperated and did not expose them.

The thick-skinned Xier obviously had no intention of showing off, and she came up and said directly: "Nata! We are back!"

"Well, it's Xier as expected, always so punctual. How is it? Have you found usable supplies?" Seeing that Xier was as thick-skinned as ever, Nata was inexplicably relieved and cast a grateful look at Chen Ye and others.

"Hahaha, we've come back with a great harvest! Nata, let me tell you! You can never imagine how outrageous this trip to Rivet Town is (Natasha: No need to imagine. When I saw you guys falling from the sky, I wasn't surprised by anything anymore. Natasha Sciorra: I'll get used to it. I was scared by this guy many times before). Never mind. Words are not enough. I'll just show you these."

Xier seemed to realize that her words were useless, so she took all the supplies and placed them in front of Natasha, then said, "Here, these are it, click on them and have a look."

"Well, let me see the steel plate. Well, it's probably enough for thirty to forty days. As for the gauze, it's also enough for thirty to forty days. As for the medical alcohol, considering that the patient might be in too much pain, some medical alcohol will be spilled. It's estimated to be enough for twenty to thirty days. But it's enough. After all, there won't always be so many patients. As for the painkillers, these should be enough for more than three months."

"Ah? This... this isn't right? We see that the amount of painkillers is less than that of medical alcohol! And the capacity of each bottle is less than that of medical alcohol, so how can it last so long?"

Before Natasha could answer, Xier spoke first. She said, "In our lower-level area, people who dare to rush up to fight a group fight of this scale are generally not too afraid of pain. Of course, not all of them, so painkillers are not necessary. But as Natasha said, this is called - prevention is better than cure!"

"Xier is right. If we prepare for the worst, we won't be so flustered when things really end badly. But no matter how small the amount of painkillers is, it shouldn't be so little. Is there something wrong in the storage room?"

"Well, because we gave half to Clara." Qiong said.

"Clara? Oh, it's her." Natasha was stunned for a moment when she heard the name, then she remembered who she was and said, "It's that kid. That's not surprising. She... should want to use these painkillers to help the homeless, right? After all, Clara has always been kind."

"I think you made a good decision. So this way, the painkillers that can be used for nearly half a year are reduced by half, but it can also be considered a good relationship."

"Yes, I thought so too, and I'm here to help you!"

"It's okay. I can handle the clinic by myself. You six should have more important things to do, right? Besides, Oleg, there are those two friends. They are waiting for you."

"Oh yeah! We forgot to say hello to them before we left."

"Oh, it doesn't really matter. After all, I think they are very energetic."

"Well, Uncle Oleg probably wants to talk about Swarovski, right?" Then she turned around and said to everyone, "Everyone, we have to go." Then she turned around and said to Natasha, "I'm sorry, Nata, those wounded people - I'll trouble you."

Chen Ye thought to himself, "Ah, it's Natasha after all. People with this name will never be in a good place. They will either be blown up to the sky or eroded. Oh, how miserable. Forget it. I should do more for him. The Key of Creation, Healing!"
