Start with Star Iron and the connection will become stronger

"So the search for supplies is complete?"

Xi'er denied it, "It's not that simple. The supplies needed in Panyan Town can't even reach one percent of what we have here. If the upper district runs out of food, we'll never be able to make up for it."

Oleg smiled at Xier's words and said, "There's no need to be so pessimistic. At least we were lucky this time. In less than an hour, we found enough food for a hundred people for one day. And we haven't encountered any danger yet!"

"That's indeed the case. Boss, we haven't encountered any of those tricky boundary-ripping monsters along the way." The members of Dihuo came to their senses and were also surprised.

"Imaginary Leaf Weaver?"

A member of the Dihuo group explained, "They're a withered, yellow monster shaped like leaves. They have a very strange ability, capable of rewriting reality! If we were to encounter one, I'm afraid we'd have no choice but to find a way to stab them in the back. If we fail, we'd have to retreat immediately."

"In fact, the mechanical units that are melted from the automatic robots and the monsters that are distorted by the rift are also very troublesome. Of course, I'm not referring to the spider and beetle types, but the large automatic robots like the grizzly bear and the wolf-tooth type!" Xier added.

At this point, she couldn't help but look at Fan Yu again and gave him a serious warning: "I know you've won both battles against monsters, but you were only fighting against the weakest bird-shaped elemental creatures in the Distortion of the Rift. Don't be complacent."

Fan Yu spread his hands and said, "I know I'm very weak now, Xier."

But in Xier's opinion, the other party's calm tone made her doubt whether he really listened to her?

However, after yesterday's life-or-death experience in the mine, he must have known one thing...

If you are weak, you cannot survive here.

Chapter 21 "Automaton" Pascal

"Okay, that's about enough of your small talk."

Oleg suddenly interrupted the conversation and patted the supply box beside him: "These supplies are enough for today's harvest. Let's prepare to return to Rock Town!"

The Earth Fire member said, "Boss, it seems like it's not even noon yet."

"But even if we continue searching, what we can take back is limited, and we can only discard the best ones. But the situation facing the "Underground Fire" now does not allow it to be wasted. While there are no monsters gathering here, let's at least transport this batch back to the gate of Panyan Town first!" Oleg made the decision.

Today was a very rare situation. They encountered only the easiest types of monsters to deal with. They didn't know if there was a mechanical settlement on this street, or if the Silvermane Iron Guard had come and taken away some?

He thought in his mind and started to open the things in the box first. Then the members of Dihuo followed him and put the things into their backpacks, filling them up.

Take away as much as you can.

Fan Yu was also among them and opened two boxes.

Inside were piles of cotton items: medical gauze, children's warm cotton jackets, shoes. Fan Yu also saw a few dolls among them.

Oleg seemed to take into consideration his new arrival, so he only had him carry lightweight items like clothes and blankets. However, when Fan Yu squeezed all the stuff together, tied it with rope, and put it on his back, carrying a bag several times larger than himself, his expression was a little strange.

"Actually... you don't need to carry so much. If it's too heavy, it will affect your journey back." Oleg reminded.

Fan Yu: "These are actually not that heavy."

He has gained a lot of strength these days, and his durability has been steadily provided by Hook, a kid who "exercises (plays around)" every day, and has also been improved by a level.

There's no doubt that, aside from yesterday's injury recovery, his body might not be at its peak yet. But compared to his state before coming to this world, some aspects of his body are more than double that of a normal adult at the [H] stage.

Oleg opened his mouth and looked at the other person's calm face and lack of breath, and could only sigh that he was young.

He didn't say anything else, then turned and went down the stairs in front of the orphanage.

The group slowly left the street that was previously filled with colorful lights...

In an abandoned factory around the corner from where everyone started, a dormant and paralyzed automated robot lit up with a golden light after its system was activated.

[Automatic Soldier·Defense Type (Grizzly)·Pascal, wake up!]

A huge, bloated automated machine soldier, its body spewing white steam, its two buttons symbolizing activation flashing with golden light.

[Reading, unknown spectral signal! Found, Rivet Town residents...]

[Action failed, search reason: insufficient energy...]

[Energy recharge required...Reloading sleep instructions...]

[Clean up... monsters...wait for the residents to return.]

A series of prompt sounds came from the mechanical unit module of the automatic robot. Its eyes flickered as it looked at the backs of the people leaving in the distance, and its body twisted as if it wanted to catch up.

However, his own depleted energy was unable to be activated at all, and he could only helplessly watch as the humans he was supposed to protect gradually disappeared from his sight.

Its body collapsed back to the spot, and as the charging devices around it lit up again, it fell into dormancy.

But this time...

The command "Wait" deep in its core began to be automatically attracted by the wavelength just now, and was covered by the spectral signal it wanted to "contact", and finally generated a new command.

……

the other side.

After half an hour.

Fan Yu and others, led by Oleg, returned to the entrance of Rock Town leading to Rivet Town, handed the things to Joshua, a member of the Earth Fire who was waiting at the entrance, and then re-entered Rivet Town to search.

The second and third times, which continued until dusk, were basically the same as the first time...

As the miners' usual time to go home approached, Oleg and Fan Yu and the others delivered a final batch of supplies, and announced the end of today's supply search mission at the door of Natasha's clinic.

"According to statistics, we collected 23 boxes of canned meat, 81 bags of wheat flour, some warm cotton clothing, 14 boxes and 21 bags of medicine, and 10 boxes of bandages and gauze..."

Joshua, who was in charge of geomagnetic statistics, reported to everyone.

A woman with glasses who was in charge of recording the situation at Dihuo was surprised and said, "Someone has searched Rivet Town before. Are there still so many?"

"This is probably mainly because we went deeper into more dangerous places today and visited some places that we could not have visited before," said Oleg.

Rivet Town is dangerous at one moment and not dangerous at the other.

There were no dangerous factors, and even a child like Hook could run a lap and come back safely.

The dangerous factor is that you don't know on which street you will encounter monsters running out of the rift.

But often the subsequent one is the reason why they dare not get involved frequently.

"Today, we didn't encounter any creatures like those in the Rift." Xier said.

They did not encounter the Imaginary Leaf Weavers that had the power to rewrite reality, nor did they encounter the large automatic robots such as the Deep Frost Prowlers transformed from the Gray Wolves or the Blazing Prowlers transformed from the Tooth Wolves.

As for why the elite monsters that were scattered on the streets of Rivet Town disappeared in large numbers, this was something that Oleg and others probably felt puzzled about, but they were happy to see the benefits of search and rescue supplies brought by this result.

"Then isn't this kid a lucky star?"

Someone said to Fan Yu jokingly.

Fan Yu: "Maybe it's a coincidence."

Oleg thought more deeply: "Something must have changed the ecology there. Let's go there again tomorrow.

If the same level of danger remains, we can deploy more people later.

Also, there are quite a few people who have fled Rivet Town in this town, so we can have someone later count places that might have more supplies, as well as areas on the outskirts of Rivet Town."

Joshua said: "This will ease some of the subsequent material pressure on the town."

"Well, everyone is tired today, so let's go home first! Fanyu, you stay for a while." Oleg gave the order to disband, and Xier and the others left one after another.

Only Fan Yu was left, looking at Oleg in confusion.

"You joined the Earthfire with the intention of becoming stronger. According to our previous agreement, now is the time when I say 'there is time'. Come with me—!"

PS: The first update is here~

Pascal is the automatic robot that awakened wisdom in the mission "Rare Love" of Yalilo VI!

If you don't choose to let Svarro brainwash you in the mechanical settlement, you will be given flowers later... (I brainwashed my account the first time I played it, and I found out later. I feel very sorry)

Chapter 22 If you want to punch, you must first learn to be beaten!

Natasha Clinic, back alley.

Fan Yu followed Oleg here. In the evening in Panyan Town, when everyone had gone home, there were only a few kids playing marbles in the distant corner. There was only Fan Yu and Oleg in the back alley.

Oleg stared at Fan Yu and looked him up and down, as if he was calculating the data of a weapon.

"Your age has basically reached adulthood, but your physical condition is very good. Have you practiced before?" Oleg asked.

Fan Yu shook his head.

"It seems you haven't suffered much from material hardship in your childhood or adulthood," Oleg sighed, then paused before continuing, "I imagine you've heard from other members of the Dihuo community about my fame in my youth. You're also likely aware that I taught a disciple named Luka. But I must tell you: you probably can't learn my 'fast punch.'"

Fan Yu: "Am I too old?"

Oleg shook his head and said, "That's not the reason. On the contrary, your frame is too big and already shaped, and my punches are not suitable for it."

Fan Yu was a head taller than him. When he was carried to the clinic unconscious, this kid's shoulders and skeleton were stronger than those of a normal person after Panyan Town was blocked.

Although Fan Yu's clothes didn't cover his body and he didn't look big, he was actually bigger than most people in Panyan Town.

Since the lower area was blockaded, most residents have rarely been exposed to sunlight. In addition, supplies can only be prioritized for survival, and balanced nutrition is absolutely impossible.

So, when an 'overnourished' young man appeared unconscious in the lower area, they would also suspect that he came from above.

"Your physical talent can focus on some bold and aggressive fighting styles, so what I plan to teach you is more of the basics," Oleg responded.

He slowly rolled up his sleeves. Seeing this, Fan Yu raised his eyebrows: "What?"

"In actual combat, Xier thinks you are very talented. Your body is familiar with some instincts, and this is probably the best way for you..." Oleg finished speaking and slowly raised his hand: "Get ready!"

After hearing the last three words, Oleg paused for a second and then swung his fist.

Fan Yu: "?!"

Although he had been prepared for the warning, the sudden fighting style still caught Fan Yu off guard. He had to instinctively raise his arms to block his face.

Boom!

In the back alley, fists hit arms.

Fan Yu felt pain in his arm and immediately took a few steps back.

Oleg: "You defended yourself very well. You don't feel any pain at all, right?"

"No, it still hurts." Fan Yu responded.

Although Oleg didn't wear the iron fists he wore when he went to Rivet Town, and his strength wasn't tested much, he still felt a dull pain from the impact on his muscles.

"It's right that it hurts! With your physical fitness, you kept dodging and being beaten back by an old man like me. This is completely the wrong reaction. In a fight like that just now, if you were a qualified boxer, you should have done the same with me..."

Halfway through his words, Oleg's straight punch suddenly turned into a right hook.

“That’s right!”

A stern shouting voice took over the first half of the sentence, followed by two consecutive fast punches.

Fan Yu failed to block this time and was hit in the chest. Before he could come to his senses, he was immediately greeted by Oleg's continued left hook.

dong dong!

On the left, he still didn't block it.

"Very good." Oleg said as he started pumping fists with both hands at the same time.

The blows came again and again, and the pain came again and again.

Block the left side, and then a right hook will follow!

Block the right side, and then immediately follow up with a left hook!

Fan Yu was like a young child under Oleg's boxing skills.

At the same time, he had to accompany Oleg and say, "Take the beating, but also learn to resist!", "In battle, you must endure the pain and try to fight back, otherwise only the torrential attacks will continue to oppress you.", "I won't hold back..."

'Fight back!'

'What's your counterattack?'

Fan Yu was hit so hard by the fists that he didn't know where to try to defend himself. His rhythm was completely disrupted and he could only defend passively.

Not only that, but she also has to face Oleg's constant verbal attacks.
