"I heard he was wearing a tattered white shirt. If you run into him, be careful," Seele thought to herself.

"Mhm." Zhou Yuan nodded repeatedly.

The group followed Seele deep into the large mining area, and the journey was smooth until they arrived at a gathering place.

There, Zhou Yuan saw a familiar face – Dr. Natasha from the lower-level clinic.

"Ah, isn't this the doctor sister? What are you doing here?" March 7th asked.

Seele explained, "Recently, there have been fierce clashes between the nomads and miners in the large mining area... It seems that the situation is more serious than I thought."

“Nata, you’re here too,” Seele greeted her. “Where did Oleg go?”

“Seele, and Sambo’s guests, it’s you all,” Natasha replied.

“I heard that Oleg led a group of miners deep into the mining area.”

Xing glanced at the agitated crowd and asked, "Who are these people?"

"These are the families of the miners. They're blocking the front of the homeless camp, demanding an explanation," Natasha sighed helplessly.

"The conflict between the homeless and the miners has resulted in many injuries. I've come to see if I can help in any way."

"You need to take better care of yourself," Zhou Yuan said with concern.

He noticed that Natasha had very obvious dark circles under her eyes, indicating that she hadn't had a proper rest in a long time.

"Thanks for caring."

"Now that we know where the boss is, let's go." Seele led the group, following the directions, deeper into the mining area.

As they passed a corner, they heard the sounds of fighting.

Everyone looked over and saw five vagrants fighting with three men dressed as miners.

Their axes and shovels clashed together, making a clanging sound.

"Who goes there? I advise you not to meddle in other people's business!" Soon, someone among the vagrants noticed the group, and they immediately stopped fighting with the miners and huddled together, becoming alert.

"Heh, meddling in other people's business? I think you're just asking for a beating!" Seele flicked her right hand, and the scythe she was using to mop the floor casually draped over her shoulder, ready to strike.

"Watch out, they have cannons!" Just then, Bronya reached out and stopped him.

Following the direction she pointed, everyone indeed saw someone carrying a large-caliber cannon behind the vagrant.

How did Belloberg get this thing...? From Zhou Yuan's perspective, that thing should be called a grenade launcher.

"You've recognized us, now get lost!" One of the vagrants took down his cannon and aimed it at the crowd, while two other vagrants raised their revolvers.

Everyone looked grim, including Seele. She was fast enough to cut through bullets, but she couldn't be perfect in every situation; if she made a mistake, those behind her would be directly attacked.

Sambo need not worry, but the others... Seele glanced back at the unarmed Bronya, her heart already wavering.

"Let's talk this out." Zhou Yuan noticed Xi'er's worry, raised his hands and stepped forward to protect everyone behind him.

"Don't come any closer! Do you really think I wouldn't dare fire?" the wanderer threatened fiercely.

"Hmph, you're welcome to try firing." Xing walked up to Zhou Yuan, pulled out a baseball bat, and confronted the wanderer, a strange aura rising up within him.

"What are you doing here?" Zhou Yuan frowned, pushed Xing back to interrupt her charging up, and looked back at the wanderer carrying the cannon.

No wonder Zhou Yuan felt he looked familiar when he first saw him. Now Zhou Yuan remembered that this person was the vagrant who was with Fang Zheng earlier.

Now that they know each other, things will be easier... Zhou Yuan prefers to solve problems without bloodshed, so he plans to give these people a chance.

"Don't be impulsive, impulsiveness is the devil," Zhou Yuan slowly took a few steps closer to the homeless.

Once they were close enough, Zhou Yuan touched his chin and lifted half of his mask, revealing his true face to the wanderer. Upon seeing this, the wanderer carrying the cannon's expression changed drastically, and ominous memories began to surface in his mind.

Zhou Yuan put the mask back on, opened his arms, and proudly said to them, "This is my favorite outfit."

"Damn it, I've run into an idiot!" the gunman cursed, feeling utterly bewildered, when suddenly the gunman carrying a cannon slapped him on the head.

"What are you doing?" He was stunned by the slap and quickly turned around, hearing his accomplice whispering.

"What?! It's him?"

The gun-wielding vagrant, having heard something, suddenly panicked, glanced at Zhou Yuan, and a rather ingratiating smile appeared on his face.

"Hehe, what a case of the flood washing away the Dragon King's temple, family members not recognizing each other," he hurriedly told his companions to put away their weapons. "We were blind and almost didn't recognize you. Please be magnanimous and let us go like a fart."

“What are you talking about? Who’s family with you?” Zhou Yuan felt the probing gazes of the people around him and quickly distanced himself from the homeless man. “You should leave now, and it would be best if it didn’t happen again.”

"Okay, brother."

The homeless people quickly left.

"You're really brave, buddy. You scared the other side away before you even made a move. I really admire you," Sangbo said, leaning closer.

"Zhou Yuan, what exactly did you do?" March 7 was shocked. "Could it be that you ran off to their camp and became their leader while we weren't looking?"

Xing said with a grin, "Chief, please teach me the staff techniques."

To this, Zhou Yuan could only roll his eyes in response.

"You scared me away like that?" Seele disengaged from her combat stance, walked up to him, and said admiringly, "Looks like you're quite strong... not as weak as you look."

This Shence General doesn't look weak either... Zhou Yuan couldn't help but think of the scene where Jing Yuan wielded the array blade - Stone Fire Dream Body.

He explained, "I recently had a confrontation with another group of homeless people, and I may have been a bit too rough with them, which probably scared them."

"So, you're the powerful companion they were talking about?" Bronya asked, pointing at March 7 and Star.

March 7th was scratching his head and grinning foolishly. Zhou Yuan said helplessly, "I guess so."

The group brought the injured miners to Natasha, and from them they learned Oleg's whereabouts.

"They actually brought people to try and drive away the invading robots..."

"Robot? What robot?" March 7 asked.

“Swarovski’s men,” Seele explained, “the miners just told me that Sir Schwarovski sent robots to surround the inner circle, prohibiting anyone from getting close.”

"I've heard you guys mention Schwarzkopf all the time. Who exactly is he? Is he a gangster?" Xing asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Swaro is a humanoid machine that appeared after the Lower Zone was sealed off. He calls himself the Guardian of Humanity and can command all unclaimed machines. He usually stays near the core of the furnace, but he likes to get involved in any unrest underground."

"The conflict between the miners and the homeless is because of a mineral vein that appeared in the inner circle. Now Schwarzro has sent people to seal off the vein."

“That vein in the inner circle is the largest in the last thirty years. We can’t just leave it unattended,” Seele said, looking at the development team. “Could you guys help us out?”

"Of course." Everyone agreed and prepared to set off.

Hey.

The phone vibrated, and Zhou Yuan opened it to see a message from Dr. Juejue.

Digging and digging: "Brother Hunter Horse, help me!! I'm going to die!"

The message that arrived was a location. Zhou Yuan looked at it and saw that it was far from the inner circle, so he could only choose one place to go.

Zhou Yuan: "Wait for me."

After sending this message, Zhou Yuan shared his thoughts with everyone.

Dr. Digger controls the handle of Big Bear, which has the prototype of the universal control system that Zhou Yuan envisioned, so Zhou Yuan actually had no choice.

"What? You're not going to secretly follow us and then come to our rescue when we're in danger, are you? You've been reading too many novels." Xing shook her head and guessed.

“Of course not,” Zhou Yuan thought for two seconds, then took off his top hat and put it on Xing’s head. “It will go with you, and it will help if you encounter any danger.”

"Protective sword energy, isn't that amazing?"
