Starry Sky Railway: Starting with a furious outburst at Aha

Xing held up the hat, looking at it from left to right, but couldn't see anything wrong with it, so he had no choice but to put it back on obediently.

"Then I'll believe you once."

Zhou Yuan nodded and looked at everyone: "Be careful, contact us anytime if you have any problems."

With that, he left alone, following the map navigation to find Dr. Digger's trail.

As Zhou Yuan continued forward, he found himself in a place that had never appeared in the game.

Located north of the central furnace core, this area covers about one square kilometer and resembles a giant junkyard, filled with numerous machine wrecks.

What is Dr. Digger doing in this godforsaken place?

Walking through it, Zhou Yuan felt a sense of desolation. White smoke floated overhead, cool like the morning mist.

The commotion in the lower levels seemed to be shut out; all that could be felt here was a chilling silence.

Zhou Yuan wasn't afraid. He had been "honed" in the dark place for a long time and was almost immune to this feeling.

But then again, how are we supposed to find people in such a big place?

Any piece of debris here is as tall as a Zhou Yuanren, and with the white fog overhead severely obstructing his vision, he couldn't help but frown.

After thinking for a few seconds, Zhou Yuan spoke decisively:

"Doctor, where are you?"

The sound echoed in the area, and soon circled back to his ears.

After several times, Zhou Yuan heard the rapid meshing of gears and the sound of pounding on the ground, the sound echoing continuously, as if a thousand troops were rushing over.

Zhou Yuan couldn't help but take it seriously.

What hidden instance have I triggered? Is this Rupert's rebirth? As far as Zhou Yuan knows, Rupert I, who launched the First Imperial War, crawled out of a garbage dump!

Just as Zhou Yuan was on high alert, two dark figures darted out from the corner at lightning speed and rushed in front of him.

These are two machines that Zhou Yuan has never seen before, and they look a lot like Pinocchio's soda dogs.

"Stranger, you shouldn't be here. Please leave immediately." The robot dog opened and closed its mouth, uttering a voice.

"I'm here to find someone..." Zhou Yuan carefully examined the machines in front of him, trying to find out their origin. "What are you doing here?"

"We are here on Schwarz's orders to guard this place. Do not act rashly. Return the way you came."

"Swarovski?" Zhou Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, took off his mask and put it in his pocket, revealing his true face. "I'm here to find someone, I'll be leaving soon."

"Beep... System scanning in progress..."

“Hello Mr. Zhou Yuan,” the robot dog quickly recognized Zhou Yuan. “This is Boss Schwarz’s private territory. According to the agreement, you may visit the site with our assistance.”

“That’s pretty good,” Zhou Yuan said. He didn’t know the specifics of the treaty, but it seemed that Schwarz had given him a great deal of freedom. “Have you found anyone here?”

“Someone sneaked in here today, but we haven’t found him yet,” the robot dog replied.

"Is that so..." Zhou Yuan followed the two robot dogs deeper and deeper, and found that the wreckage in front of him looked more and more familiar. It was extremely similar to Dr. Digger's bear in terms of color scheme and degree of damage, and he had a guess in his heart.

"Then I guess we're looking for the same person."

"So...do you have a way to find him?" the robot dog asked.

“Simple.” Zhou Yuan took out his phone and dialed a number. A ringtone came from not far away.

Although the call was quickly disconnected, the robot dog still managed to locate Dr. Digger's hiding place by listening to the sound.

Zhou Yuan stepped forward. Among the pile of machine wreckage, Xiong Da's still healthy body stood out. Dr. Juejue was hiding between Xiong Da and the wreckage.

"Come out, Dr. Digger."

"Hunter...Hunter Horse, you're here!" Dr. Digger's excited voice came from inside. "I'm stuck, and Big Bear is out of control and can't move."

Zhou Yuan stepped forward and moved Xiong Da aside, allowing Dr. Juejue to escape from the gap.

"I called you just now, why didn't you answer?" Zhou Yuan asked.

"Hey, I was just worried that thing would hear me," Dr. Digger muttered warily. "Let me tell you, there are two mad dogs in there that will bite anyone they see. If I hadn't run fast..."

Dr. Digger stopped abruptly, turning his head to one side, where he saw the robot dog squatting nearby.

"I...I," Dr. Digger exclaimed in horror, "We're going to die! Run! I'm talking about those two!"

After saying that, he tried to pull Zhou Yuan away, but Zhou Yuan grabbed him instead.

“Don’t be nervous,” Zhou Yuan said, pointing to the robot dogs. “They’re the ones who led me here.”

"Beep... Matching face detected. Please come with us." The robot dog slowly approached Dr. Digger.

"Wait, what did he do wrong?" Zhou Yuan quickly stopped them.

"He committed the crime of desecrating corpses and repeatedly broke into cemeteries to steal mechanical parts. He should be brought before Boss Schwarz for trial in person."

Upon hearing this, Dr. Juejue turned pale.

Who in the lower district doesn't know the name Schwarz? He didn't think Zhou Yuan would offend Schwarz for someone he'd only met twice.

Moreover, even if Zhou Yuan chooses to help him, he doesn't believe Zhou Yuan can defeat Schwarz. This is the impression Schwarz has left on the residents of the lower districts over the years—invincible.

“Alright, I’ll go with you,” Dr. Digger said. “But this little horse hunter is innocent, so let him go.”

"We will naturally send Mr. Zhou Yuan back safely."

As the robot dog spoke, it tried to step forward and restrain Dr. Digger, but Zhou Yuan stopped it.

No one knows what will happen after Dr. Digger is taken away, so Zhou Yuan can only try to save him.

He remained calm and composed, speaking softly to the robot dog:

"Connect me to Schwarzkopf, I need to talk to it."

"Beep... Application approved, connecting..." The robot dog immediately stopped in place.

“Hunter Brothers…” Dr. Digg looked over with a surprised and worried expression, and Zhou Yuan gave him a reassuring gesture.

The connection was established quickly, and Schwarz's voice came from the robot dog's speaker.

"Zhou Yuan, what are you trying to do? Our agreement doesn't include a clause about not protecting criminals."

“I have no intention of protecting him. I just hope you can give him a chance.” Zhou Yuan knew that Schwarz could see this side through the robot dog’s camera, so he took the initiative to point the robot dog’s camera at Xiong Da.

"If I'm not mistaken, he stole all the parts for this machine from you, didn't he?"

"Yes, he broke into this place a total of six times in the past year and stole several tons of parts."

He's quite a talent... Zhou Yuan glanced at Dr. Juejue and asked:

How many parts are left?

“They’re all here.” Dr. Digger pointed to Big Bear.

“Alright then,” Zhou Yuan turned to the robot dog, “He has pieced together the discarded parts into a complete machine, and the value of it should be enough to offset the material loss. Now his Xiongda is yours.”

"Even so, his disrespect for the law cannot be ignored."

“I know, I haven’t finished yet,” Zhou Yuan walked over to Xiong Da and patted its head, then continued, “This guy is for you. The Fight Club is just short of someone to keep things in check, so you can send a robot over there.”

"what do you mean?"

“I will orchestrate this to have your robot replace Xiong Da. This way, you can not only make a considerable profit, but also obtain information about the residents at all times.”

"What do you think? The only price is to let him go, as if nothing ever happened."

As always, Schwarz remained emotionally detached, secretly calculating the gains and losses.

"Deal." A moment later, its voice rang out again.

“A wise decision,” Zhou Yuan said with a smile. “It seems a new treaty has been reached.”

......

Emerging from the mechanical graveyard, Dr. Digger finally emerged from his despondency over the loss of Xiong Da. He sincerely said to Zhou Yuan, "Thank you... Brother Hunter Ma."

"Just call me Zhou Yuan," Zhou Yuan said, his goodwill towards Dr. Juejue had increased after Dr. Juejue's previous actions, so he didn't hide anything anymore. "And don't thank me right away, I saved you because I need your help."

"Is there anything else I can do to help you?" Dr. Digger said with a wry smile.

Aside from the little girl in the red dress, he had never seen Schwarzlo communicate normally with anyone before, let alone Zhou Yuan making a request this time.

He simply couldn't believe it; what kind of person could receive such treatment from Schwarz?

Does someone like that really need my help?

“Of course,” Zhou Yuan patted Dr. Juejue on the shoulder and asked with a smile, “Do you know about the Creation Engine?”
