Start with Star Iron and the connection will become stronger

The three of them didn't waste any time and used the Originium device unfolded by Frost Star, taking advantage of the naturally cold place at night to release their own magical abilities.

clack clack...

A series of icy sounds spread rapidly from the doorway. Several soldiers stationed there felt the sudden, biting chill in the air, and expressions of fear crossed their faces. They looked down at the layers of frost spreading from their feet, instinctively trying to lift their legs to escape, but the bone-chilling cold had already frozen their bodies.

As the frost spell continued to cover them, their bodies and the weapons in their hands were quickly frozen.

This time, Frost Star did not choose to freeze everyone, but left behind two soldiers to ensure their basic survival.

The three of them stepped forward and inquired about the location of the detained infected person.

Two soldiers, half frozen, shivered. They whispered to the approaching Carters woman, who had a scar across her face, "The patrol team brought the people here. They'll go into the industrial area, toward the mines, and then process the Originium."

"where?"

"If you promise to let me go, I will tell..."

Chi!

In response to the soldier's condition, Fan Yu picked up the thermite sword on the ground and directly cut off his neck.

Then, he placed the bloody weapon on the neck of the member on the other side and said calmly, "Time is limited. It's up to you to go meet your companions."

Another soldier's pupils trembled, fear ultimately overcoming his honor as a soldier. He pointed to the guardhouse at the entrance with difficulty: "Flip the switch over there, the command is #0777253302, and you will get a map of the interior."

Fan Yu glanced at Shuang Xing, who understood her gaze and walked into the guardhouse. A moment later, she returned from the entrance and pulled out a topographic map, saying, "The guardhouse does have internal surveillance, and this is the distribution map of Area 59."

The infected people rounded up by the patrol team are at the factory in front of us."

Fan Yu responded, then bowed his head and said to the soldier, "Thank you for the information."

The latter's face relaxed, and he felt a sense of relief. Then, with a "crackling" sound, the soldier covered his neck, his eyes widened as blood flowed out uncontrollably.

He only lasted a moment before he fell to the ground, twitching briefly for a few seconds before his eyes dimmed completely.

Tallulah said delicately, "I thought you would spare his life."

"No, you don't think so, Tallulah," Froststar said sarcastically.

They had seen this scene many times over the past few months. In order to save the infected, and sometimes to find their location, Fan Yu never left anyone alive when they tortured them for information.

Often, after Fan Yu asks a question, he would wipe out the target's life.

Such results always seem cruel, but on the other hand, this cruelty also reduces a lot of trouble for them to complete the rescue every time.

For example, after they rescued their infected compatriots, it was rare for the enemy to call for reinforcements.

"The title of [Throat Slitter] is now very appropriate for your identity." Frost Star said lightly.

Fan Yu threw away the blood-stained thermite sword in his hand, and it fell to the ground with a clang.

He responded calmly, "I didn't make any promises to them that if they handed over the information, I'd spare their lives!"

Chapter 69: Factory, a place for labor

"There's no point in saying this. Let's just keep moving forward. Give me the map."

Tallulah took over the conversation and extended her hand to Froststar.

Frost Star handed her the topographic map he had just obtained. As the map was unfolded, they quickly discovered several schematic diagrams of the source rock and the industrial component areas for processing source rock into synthetic jade.

They compared their current location with the area they were in and gradually had a rough idea of ​​the location in their minds.

At night, the three continued on their journey.

Along the way, they also encountered several patrolling soldiers and drones owned by the industrial city of Chernobyl.

Fan Yu opened his lightsaber and aimed at the drones in the air, Talulah was responsible for facing the soldiers' Originium skills head-on, and Frost Star was responsible for freezing the soldiers who discovered Talulah's identity and knew they could not fight back and fled.

Boom boom boom!

Chi Chi!

A golden light flashed past, and the drone hovering in the sky automatically lost control, falling to the ground with black smoke. Then, a blazing flame ignited the atmosphere, burning the attacking soldiers into a pile of charcoal on the spot.

Frost Star stretched out his hand and performed the frost spell. The sound of condensation crackling sounded in the atmosphere, accompanied by the rapid covering of frost, freezing the soldiers from the field, making them unable to move at all, and then he finished them off one by one.

The three people in the group had a clear division of labor, and judging from their actions, it was obviously not the first time they had demonstrated such cooperation.

Their actions were covert, isolating most of the soldiers in the entire industrial zone, and they went straight to the target location.

In tens of minutes.

They finally arrived at the location marked with six [■■■] patterns on the topographic map. From the perspective, it looked like six huge warehouse buildings in the shape of greenhouses.

Fan Yu and the other two arrived at the entrance of the first factory building.

There were two soldiers stationed at the door. They were wearing dust masks and wrapped in protective suits. They held two sniper rifles in their hands and looked ahead with bright eyes through their masks. They were in high spirits in the middle of the night.

"Isn't it almost time for the shift change?" the guard on the left said seriously.

The guard on the right complained, "We only have one hour left to leave this damn place. I don't know why the boss assigned us this place..."

The guard on the left said, "We can't help it. The patrols have been intensifying their searches for infected people in the city lately. The number of infected people being discovered has skyrocketed, and we're the only ones left to do it because we're short on manpower. The only good news is that we only need to stay outside."

Those guys inside are in a terrible state. Yesterday, I heard that two infected people experienced accelerated crystallization, turning them into dust on the spot. I wonder if those two unlucky guys got infected while wearing protective gear."

"I hope we don't have to go inside on our next shift. If we accidentally get infected, our lives will be ruined."

"Hahaha, I'll collect your body when the time comes..."

The two young guards were chatting with each other late at night.

They had no idea that Fan Yu and the other two were gradually approaching the defensive position in front of them.

Kick, kick, kick...

The sound of footsteps in the middle of the night suddenly rang in the ears of the two guards, and their originally relaxed and casual expressions suddenly became solemn.

"That sound?"

The two guards looked at each other, and as the footsteps gradually approached, they placed their hands on the triggers of their guns and looked ahead with vigilance.

When three cloaked figures approached in the darkness, they immediately shouted a warning: "Stop, this is a blocked area. Which unit are you from? Don't you know that entering here is prohibited?"

The three figures opposite were not intimidated by their words and continued to move towards them.

The two guards said nothing more and immediately pulled the trigger.

however--

A cold light flashed in the darkness, but the sound of the gun firing the etched bullet did not come.

The two guards looked down at their weapons, realizing that the tip of their rifles had been sliced ​​off in half by an unknown blade. The area where their fingers were gripping the rifles had also been frozen by an extremely cold air, completely blocking them.

"Is this, a spell?" The guard looked shocked.

Immediately, they looked in the direction the three men were heading and immediately realized their target. The guard immediately turned around, wanting to notify the guards in the factory building behind to prepare to shout.

"You can't just open your mouth like that." Fan Yu said lightly.

Whoosh!

A dark shadow flashed by.

The two guards only caught sight of three figures in the darkness, and one disappeared in the blink of an eye.

When they came to their senses, they found that a tall young man with brown hair and golden eyes had appeared in front of them. A golden blade slashed directly across the necks of the two men.

Chi la——!

The blade wrapped in golden particles flashed, and then a crack appeared in the throats of the two guards, and blood gushed out quickly.

The two guards clutched their throats and made gurgling sounds.

The blood kept gushing out, making them feel a fear of impending death. Their eyes trembled constantly, and they stared at Fan Yu who appeared in front of them with wide eyes.

"You're the same again."

As the two black shadows approached from behind, the guard saw Froststar and Talulah with Carters (rabbit) ears and Draco's features respectively, and immediately understood their identities.

And the man before them—

[Throat Slitter…] They were unwilling to accept the fact that they knew who had killed them, and the light in their eyes gradually dimmed.

After finishing all this, Fan Yu put the two bodies down steadily.

"After we pass this level, the rest is inside. However..."

Fan Yu glimpsed the situation inside through the crack in the doorway and said to Tallulah and Shuangxing, "The situation inside isn't very good."

A thin, broken sound came.

There was the squeaking of mechanical gears, the rubbing of boxes against metal objects, the sound of footsteps of the crowd, and the screams of pain that came from the beating of some kind of whip.

After hearing what Fan Yu said, Frost Star and Talulah showed a hint of curiosity and took the initiative to walk forward.

They stood at the door, and with the light reflected from the windows above the closed factory door, they caught the source of the sounds through the gaps.

An Ursus infected person with bear ears on his head was stepped on the ground by a guard in protective clothing. The cargo box next to him rolled over, and a large piece of source rock rolled out from it.

The guards swung their whips furiously, lashing the bodies of the Ursus infected, leaving the Ursus men's burly bodies covered in flesh and blood.

Screams of pain echoed throughout the factory.

Chapter 70: Dispelling the Night

Snap! Snap!

The sound of a long whip continuously hitting the body continued to ring out in the factory.

The Ursus infected person on the ground was already dying, with traces of Originium crystals on his neck. Only a pair of amber pupils were exposed, staring at the guard who stepped on him.

The latter met those eyes, furious, and angrily raised his military boot and stepped on his face: "What do you mean by that look? Huh?"

Ursus infected: "..."

He didn't say a word, just a pair of unyielding eyes.

However, this sight soon turned into a shrill scream of pain again as the guard raised his whip.

The Ursus infected person held his head, curled up on the ground, and tried to get some protection for his wounds, but his eyes just now had already angered the guards.

The long whip kept swinging down, lashing out one after another, hitting all parts of the Ursus infected people's bodies, from the face, shoulders, chest, to the abdomen and limbs... almost no part of them avoided the vital points.

Until the Ursus infected people under his feet no longer screamed or tried to evade...

Only after he stopped did he realize that the body of the Ursus infected person was motionless.

The guard kicked the bear away, revealing a bear head with eyes devoid of color and crimson blood oozing from its mouth, unconsciously flowing. The Originium crystals stained its neck with a streak of crimson, then spread down its body...

Seeing this, the guard lowered his head to confirm the breath and found that the characteristics of life had become extremely weak.

The guard snorted in frustration, then glanced at the infected people who had stopped to watch and shouted, "What are you looking at? Why don't you just get back to work?"

He pointed at the box on the ground that had been knocked over by the Ursus infected, and at the captured infected, including Ferrin and Luper: "You two, quickly throw this dead bear out. I don't want to see his Originium crystallize."

Among the crowd, the numb Filin stepped forward, his tail and ears already drooped, he squatted down and dragged up the Ursus infected person. Large areas of his skin were covered with black Originium crystals. When he approached, the guards immediately took a few steps back in disgust.

Little Rupert next to him, wearing a thin linen robe, followed closely behind the numb Filin infected person. The two figures quickly dragged the Ursus infected person away.

And such a scene seems to be just a trivial episode.

The infected people around them quickly resumed their original work of being exposed to the Originium environment.

One by one, the black crystal infected people with the characteristics of mineral sickness carried the pure Originium that was fatal to their bodies to the cargo box next to them. In the high concentration of Originium dust environment displayed during this process, some infected people whose internal organs had crystallized could not help but start coughing.

Several younger children infected with Filin and Ursus looked at their parents working in front of them with their innocent eyes, then took the pure Originium that their parents handed over heavily and packed it up obediently.

The Originium crystals on the faces and arms of several children were exposed to the environment. The pure Originium seemed to bring a sense of resonance, making the crystal areas growing on their bodies even larger.

Struggling between being killed immediately by the guards or letting their offspring survive... several parents of the infected closed their eyes in sorrow.

The guards naturally saw this scene, and they were no longer surprised by it.

As the guard walked over, several people in protective suits stood together, examining the infected people in the field and chatting.

"Samir, you are so cruel. You almost beat that infected person to death."

The guard named Samir said coldly, "Scum who don't work properly must be punished. We are taking the risk of being infected by them by standing here. Why can't we end this early, so that they can rest early and we can leave this terrible place sooner?"

Why can't these stupid people understand this?"

"Indeed, the city hall has been very humane in not treating the infected people immediately and allowing them to continue working and living at the risk of infecting others," another guard agreed.
