Start with Star Iron and the connection will become stronger

The flames collided with the ice, and the ice on Fan Yu's palm instantly began to melt, extinguishing the core energy supporting Yan Hua's creation...

At a speed visible to the naked eye, the blazing flame crystal wings dimmed and extinguished, and the flames of the entire body of the Yanhua creature also became unbalanced, until it turned into a ball of ashes after the flames burned out, leaving only a fire feather falling in the ashes, symbolizing the reality of the remnant of this firebird.

On the other side, Oleg repeatedly struck the Winter Bane, draining its elemental power and turning it into icy shards. He saw how Fan Yu had killed the Yanhua Creation to his side and exclaimed in admiration, "Using ice to melt the monster's flames—very clever!"

Without judging the opponent's classic fighting style of using a gun blade to stab the Yanhua creature with all his strength and using a cannon to kill a mosquito, it is also valuable to be able to not panic after a blow is lost, and to quickly change his thinking to use another method to fight back.

Xier paused raising her sickle and breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems I'm no longer needed to help you out."

Fan Yu turned around and smiled gently: "Thank you for your care, Xier."

Xier was distracted for a moment, then came to her senses and replied softly, "We are all companions. And this is just the first victory, so don't be complacent."

"For a rookie like you, it's not enough."

Chapter 19: Rift

Immediately covering up what had just happened, Xier turned and walked towards her adoptive father.

Without stopping for Fan Yu for a moment, her figure flashed before the eyes of the people of Dihuo like a blue phantom, and joined Oleg's battlefield.

The father and daughter worked together to clear out the monsters that stood in their way.

The frost crystals and the flame-created figures were reduced to slag. The two humanoid monsters, the Winter Scourge Shadow and the Fire Scourge Shadow, were left with only two axe blades, the elemental power of fire and frost dissipating from the axe blades...

Soon, the road ahead was cleared.

The road leading to the other end of the overpass opened up and appeared before everyone's eyes.

Fan Yu and a group of Dihuo members followed Oleg and Xier in front and immediately came to the other side of the overpass. There was a fence surrounding the overpass, and many abandoned Rivet Town houses could be seen on both sides.

A missing person notice attracted Fan Yu's attention.

Kalinka Modrić, now 6 years old, is shy and timid. She was separated from her family on the day of the emergency evacuation. She wore a brown and white fur bucket hat (Cossack hat), a brown cotton jacket, and tan leather boots.

This seems to be a characteristic of Hook, right?

But when he saw the description of the missing person notice as [timid, shy], Fan Yu had a strange expression on his face.

The image of the first time he met Hook emerged in his mind. He was the little devil from Rock Town with his hands on his hips, and the idea of ​​a naughty kid writing a diary full of typos and imagining Natasha cleaning for her. It was really hard to put the two together.

A coincidence?

Behind the missing person notice is the time of the evacuation of Rivet Town, but it has been several years now.

"Don't just stand there, newbie. The monsters from the Rift may appear again at any time, and we can't stay here for long." A member of the logistics Earth Fire Organization interrupted Fan Yu's thoughts. He walked past Fan Yu with a backpack on his back and patted him on the shoulder.

Fan Yu came to his senses and looked ahead. Some people had already approached the houses on both sides of the street and started searching.

He followed immediately.

In less than a few minutes, Fan Yu entered an abandoned house. Some things on the first floor had been moved out, leaving only rotten wooden cabinets scattered on the ground. He had no choice but to follow the dilapidated stairs to the second floor and start searching.

After entering the room, it was a girl's room that had been neglected for a long time.

Fan Yu searched through the things left in the drawer, including hair elastics, scissors, tweezers, an unfinished crayon drawing, a music box, and a photo of a pair of smiling girls on the desk.

[Can you help me?]

Hiss—!

The flow of the spectrum's wavelengths suddenly became intense in Fan Yu's eyes.

"Ok?"

I subconsciously looked around, but there was nothing.

His eyes fell on the photo of his sisters on the table, and he remembered the information Oleg mentioned.

[The Rift will create new monsters by absorbing the memory pheromones of real matter.]

Fan Yu didn't want to gamble whether he would encounter these things. He looked at the remaining objects in the house, hurriedly packed everything into his backpack, and went downstairs.

When I came back outside, Xier just came out of a hotel on the left, holding a lot of unused towels in her hands.

She saw the backpack behind Fan Yu and said, "You harvested quite quickly."

"It may be because the second floor has never been touched, but it should not be what we need." Fan Yu responded and opened his backpack.

Xier looked over and said, "Tweezers are still very useful. You can give them to Sister Natasha. As for other things, we'll see if there are any new supplies later!"

"What is the main search this time?" Fan Yu asked curiously.

"Food and basic necessities. Of course, in times of crisis, your music box is also a great way to calm down," Xier said seriously. Among them were some towels she had found.

But even though there were such results at the very beginning, Xier didn't look very happy.

She looked ahead, and saw Oleg and others coming out of the house one after another as time went by.

"How about it?"

"There are some, but not enough. I'm afraid we'll have to go over to the mountain," Oleg said seriously.

Fan Yu looked towards the top of the mountain in Rivet Town, where there was a large manor building.

During the days at Hook Connection, he heard from several children that it was the amusement park before they evacuated from Rivet Town. It was an orphanage donated by a wealthy man in Rivet Town and handed over to Natasha to run.

At the same time, that was also the place where Fan Yu was discovered when he came to this world.

The group started to set off again.

In the following time, under the leadership of Oleg and Xier, as they went deeper into Rivet Town, the monsters they encountered began to become more dense.

Often on the corridors, you can see Frost Crystals and Winter Scourges connected together, with a beetle-type automatic robot with automatic search capabilities in the center. Most of the time, the three are connected into a line under the energy released by the Rift.

However, these still could not stop them.

Break through the obstacles in the corridor and clear out the automatic robots at the corners. As the winding roads become more and more numerous, there are some blind spots that can be avoided, which also reduces the number of times they encounter combat.

When they reached the last corridor leading to the bottom of Rivet Town, they could no longer see any trace of the Rift Monsters on this street.

Not only that……

Colorful lights are hung on the walls of the streets, as if waiting for the arrival of the midsummer festival.

"Were there these colored lights before?"

Everyone looked at the scene in front of them and couldn't help feeling confused.

Xier frowned: "It's too quiet."

Oleg nodded: "Well, we are almost at the end, don't be careless."

however……

We continued to move upwards, but there was no sign of any Boundary Rift monsters along the way.

They finally arrived at the door of the orphanage.

A wide staircase leads to the upper terrace, with a broken slide in the center, rusty swings, and countless children's graffiti on the walls...

It looks like a very peaceful and tranquil place.

Of course, it would be even more beautiful if there were no huge tree roots spreading out from the rift on both sides of the door blocking the stairs leading to the orphanage, and the light from the rift itself growing and spreading.

Logically...

The creatures of the Rift were born from such a rift, but when reaching the source, it was unexpectedly quiet.

Oleg glanced at Fanyu and pointed to the edge of the rift on the stairs ahead.

"Last time we found you, you were lying there."

躺？

Chapter 20 If you are weak, you cannot survive here!

There was a brief silence.

Seeing his expression, Oleg thought that he was lost in memories of his previous coma.

But he didn't know that what Fan Yu was thinking about now was his naked appearance when he came to Yalilo VI. How many people had seen him?

He subconsciously looked at Xier, who was stunned for a moment, but immediately realized something and quickly turned away and said unhappily, "I haven't seen your body. I stood far away that day. When you were unconscious, it was Oleg and Joshua who carried you to the clinic."

That means there are at least three... Oleg, Joshua, and Natasha.

"Is that the reason? Haha, men don't need to be so shameless!" Oleg rarely saw the funny side of this young man, who was usually emotionally flat. However, he didn't continue the teasing and instead looked around.

After some confirmation, Oleg said seriously, "Since there's no danger here, let's go into the orphanage and start searching. And Fanyu, you can stay here and look around your area to see if you can find anything. However, we'll leave the supplies here, and you'll be responsible for taking care of them."

Fan Yu was stunned for a moment, then nodded to indicate that there was no problem.

"Remember, if a monster approaches and you find you can't deal with it, call us immediately. If you're too late, ensure your own safety first!"

Before leaving, Oleg said something solemnly, and then he took Xier and the others and quickly bypassed the energy gap area where the rift overflowed, and went into the orphanage from the flank.

Fan Yu stayed where he was and walked closer to the edge of the rift.

He squatted down, looked at the place where Oleg pointed out that he had fainted, and fell into deep thought.

After being in Panyan Town for almost a month, the chaotic memories of the collapsed universe in his mind became clear, and he still had a clear picture in his mind of how he landed on Yalilo VI.

It's not thrilling, but it's definitely not peaceful either.

"To be honest, the place where I landed has already been swallowed by the rift." Fan Yu stared at the front with emotion.

There was no trace of his landing here, nothing left except the backpack that Hook had secretly run here and accidentally found.

Although it would be nice to feel like he's 'really integrated' at this moment... he didn't feel that way.

He tried to search around the platform, the slide that Hook mentioned, and the small stool next to it for hide-and-seek. When his gaze turned, the spectrum of his retina once again showed abnormal fluctuations.

Fan Yu was startled as he looked towards the graffiti-covered wall in front of the orphanage's main entrance. In the quiet surroundings, a little girl suddenly appeared before him.

"【connect】"

The ripples of the spectrum, resembling wavelengths, spread out, but passed directly through the little girl's body.

The wavelength directly penetrated the bio-field, which meant that the opponent was not alive, and did not even have the resistance of the Rift Realm creatures like the Winter Scourge...

The latter raised his head, his clear eyes expressing confusion: "Who are you?"

"A traveler who accidentally came to Yalilo VI." For some unknown reason, Fan Yu responded.

"From outside? Then do you know where everyone in the orphanage went? Where are mom and dad?" the little girl asked with a lonely expression.

"Sorry, I'm the only one here."

"Wow, wow... Mom and Dad said they would come pick me up... Do they not want me anymore?"

Amid the little girl's sobs, her figure gradually became transparent and slowly disappeared from the spot, leaving nothing behind.

Fan Yu stood there, his thoughts were a little complicated: "..."

Soon after.

Oleg and Xier came back from the orphanage carrying several boxes.

Fan Yu let out a long sigh.

Xier felt that his mood was a little strange, and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

"There is a ghost here." Fan Yu simply recounted the supernatural phenomenon he had just encountered.

"That's not a ghost, it's also a phenomenon caused by the Rift." Oleg explained, "The bird-shaped frost crystals you see are based on birds. If a Silvermane Iron Guard is devoured, they will be transformed into a Winter/Fire Shadow by the Rift... But in fact, in addition to these, there are also ordinary people who died.

Some, unaware of their own death, retain memories of their final moments, acting like earthbound spirits. But they are fragile, often appearing and disappearing suddenly. Even the more powerful ones will dissipate once their obsession is fulfilled.

Fan Yu: "I see."

He paused and turned to look at the others: "How did you get?"

A rare smile broke out on Oleg's serious face. "Following the route Natasha gave us, we got some food that wasn't able to be moved away during the orphanage evacuation. Fortunately, due to the cold wave, half of the supplies are still within their expiration date."
