"I don't know how long it has been since I last took a walk like this. I didn't expect to be in a strange place with people I just met."

"It's so quiet here, I'm a little uncomfortable with it. The quieter it is, the noisier the distracting thoughts in my mind become."

"I think the wanderers in the big mining area may have no other choice but to reach out to the innocent mining team."

"No, you can't think like that." Xing said.

"I understand... putting aside individual backgrounds or difficulties, a crime is a crime. Alas, facing such a complex situation, how can law enforcement officers find a balance between justice and reason..."

"How long can you last with the supplies you have?"

Suddenly, Seele's voice was heard from where Xing and Bronya were going uphill.

"Is that... Seele's voice? Xing, Lin Yu, let's go up and take a look." Bronya glanced at Xing and then went up together.

"I see. I'll go to Rivet Town and get your things back for you."

"It's too risky for you to go alone. Why don't you ask Oleg to send someone to go with you?" Natasha asked.

"Uncle and the others haven't slept for several days. They should take a rest first. And if they insist on going on, they can't help me and will be a burden... Besides, didn't you say that some miners are seriously injured and time is life?" Xier said.

"We came at the right time." Xing, Bronya and Lin Yu walked up to Xier's side.

"Aren't you resting? What are you doing outside at this time? Don't you have any bad ideas?" Xier looked at the two of them in confusion.

"I just came out for a walk because I couldn't sleep. Please take back your groundless accusations." Bronya retorted.

"Hmph, let's go somewhere else." Xier pointed to the street nearby.

"Xier, don't worry, they may be able to help you." Natasha said to Xier.

"I won't help you if you have such a bad temper~" Xing snorted and turned his head away.

"Don't be like that. Xier is the typical person who is tough on the outside but soft on the inside. She means no harm." Natasha explained to the two.

"It's like this. Many people were injured in the previous incident at the mining area, and the clinic is overcrowded... After you helped quell the riot, Xi'er and I have been busy taking care of the injured. As you know, underground resources have always been in short supply, and the incident happened suddenly. The clinic's medical supplies are almost exhausted, so we have to get some from somewhere else."

"Catch Sambo?" Xing asked.

"You don't know him yet? You can't count on someone like Sambo for anything important... Besides... the reason why there are more and more wanderers in the mining area is because the rift is spreading underground. There are wandering monsters everywhere, and every town is deeply troubled by it."

"The supplies and equipment we rely on for survival have all been swallowed up by the rift. If we want to get something out of it, we have to risk our lives!"

"Don't be so excited, Xier, it's not good for your health..." Natasha reminded.

"Actually, Xi'er and I didn't grow up in this town. We are from an industrial town in the north. Its main city was infiltrated by the Rift a few years ago."

"I used to manage an orphanage and clinic there, but when the erosion happened, I had to move to Panyan Town. After all, I had to ensure my own survival before I could have the opportunity to treat more people."

After listening to what Natasha said, Bronya also said, "Are you going to the eroded city to collect usable supplies? Count me in."

"It's up to you what you want to do," Xing said.

"Do you want to come along? I see you look very tired..." Bronya looked at Xing.

Star shook his head.

"Wait! I haven't agreed to let you join yet!" Xier said quickly.

"This involves human lives, so it won't hurt to have an extra helper. I happen to have a lot of experience in dealing with world rifts, so I'm sure I can help." Bronya said seriously.

Seele looked at Bronya and said, "Well... don't hold me back!"

"Xi'er didn't refuse, which means she has recognized you. With you accompanying her, I can rest assured. Come, I will make a list of supplies for you. The place you are going to is called Rivet Town. Go down the mountain road in the north and you will see it soon."

"Hmm... let me think... the steel plates and bandages used to fix broken bones are almost used up. There is a market in the center of Rivet Town. When the townspeople evacuated, there were still a lot of goods piled up. Please go and look for them."

"Then there's medical alcohol...haha, I stockpiled a lot of it in the orphanage because the kids often fought, so I didn't take it away when we evacuated...I hope it's not expired. Finally, there's the painkillers. There should be a batch left in the old laboratory. I hope it hasn't been destroyed by monsters...These should be enough to deal with us for a while. Be careful on your way, and don't force yourself." Natasha said to everyone.

"Steel plates and bandages, medical alcohol, and painkillers... Remember, it's a piece of cake."

"Let's go, and try to come back as soon as possible to settle those patients down, so that I can be freed from their screams and howls sooner." Xier said.

"If we hadn't happened to pass by...do you really plan to rush into the rift alone?" Bronya asked Seele.

"Yeah, there's nothing to be surprised about. I'm used to it." Xier disagreed.

"Too reckless... According to the military regulations of the Silver Mane Iron Guard, patrolling the Rift requires at least four people in a group, and a dedicated communications officer must be provided."

"You also said that, that is the rule of the Silver Mane Guards, don't apply it to us." Xier said, and then continued to move forward.

...

"We're here. This is Rivet Town... Oh, what a familiar scenery... Let's go. Be careful with your steps. I haven't been back for a long time. I'm afraid there are a lot of monsters in there." Xier reminded.

"That house on the hillside in the distance over there is Natasha's former orphanage. Uncle Oleg sent me there after he picked me up. I spent most of my childhood in the orphanage."

"Natasha told me that the house was donated by a wealthy businessman. No matter what he did, he must be a good man. I miss those carefree days when I was a kid."

"Huh? Why aren't you talking?" Seele looked at Bronya.

"No, I just... feel a little familiar, it's okay..." Bronya looked at the house in the distance.

"Weird..." Xier said.

"Look down and see those messy stalls? That's the market square in Rivet Town. The supplies Natasha wants are probably piled there."

"Be careful of the monsters and keep moving forward." Xier said.

After everyone defeated the monster, they also walked towards those stalls.

"Is this... a restaurant?" Bronya said, looking at the nearby store.

"Look, this is the one with the best reputation in town. Nata will bring children with good performance to improve their meals." Xier explained.

"Has she brought you here?" Bronya asked curiously.

"Am I that kind of good kid? Of course not." Xier said.

"You also have self-awareness..." Xing said from the side.

"I can't help it..How could I understand so many things when I was a kid? And I was in the lower class area. Although I am not a good kid now..."
