Chapter 15: The City of Preservation - Beloberg

After entering the town, Yao Luo clearly felt the vitality of a human settlement.

Miners chatting in groups, children running around, and merchants shouting their wares.

When passers-by saw Natasha, they greeted her with a smile, but when they saw Peter carried by Yao Luo, most of them showed emotions of surprise or pity.

There were even a few young people who knew Natasha and kept asking her questions, but Natasha quickly left, saying that she needed emergency treatment.

Walking up a spiral staircase, a relatively flat platform appeared in Yao Luo's eyes.

"This is actually an orphanage?"

That’s right, here, Yao Luo did not expect to see such a warm scene, two slides made of iron passages, behind the platform, a round table made of some kind of screws, rough portraits, and childish graffiti. It can be seen that the owner here wants to create a relatively warm atmosphere for the children.

"Sister Natasha is back! Sister Natasha is back!"

Just as the two of them stepped onto the platform, in front of the door of the building, little heads popped out of the windows. As if they saw Natasha, a few brave children opened the door and rushed out.

"Ah! Peter!"

But when they saw Peter's miserable wounds, the boys covered their mouths and some timid girls even screamed.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." Natasha first stroked the children's heads one by one, and after comforting them, she winked at Yao Luo, indicating that he should follow quickly.

The two walked through the group of children and entered the orphanage. The interior decoration was more obvious, with lecture halls and small tables. There were rows of small bowls on the table, and it could be seen that there were quite a few children here.

When he came in, Yao Luo seemed to vaguely see two children, one purple and one gray.

"It looks familiar." But he only took a quick look. Yao Luo didn't think any more and followed Natasha into the treatment room.

When closing the door, Yao Luo could still see the nervous children huddled together outside the door, very worried about the situation inside the house.

After some operations that Yao Luo couldn't quite understand, Peter's injury was stabilized.

Yao Luo finally had the opportunity to communicate some information with Natasha.

After introducing themselves to each other and understanding the basic situation, both of them became firm in their ideas.

Yao Luo learned about Beloberg, the last refuge city for mankind on this planet.

Beloberg is divided into two areas, the upper area is the main city of Beloberg, with the best technology and armed forces, while the lower area provides the earth marrow for the survival of the upper city, and obtains material support from the upper area. The train team that he wants to find is most likely in the upper city.

"This person should be from the upper district, right?" Natasha thought to herself. He knew nothing about the situation in the lower city area and had such a powerful force. It was very likely that he was a well-known Silver Mane Iron Guard from the upper district, who came to the lower district for support.

After all, with the expansion of the rift, the situation in the lower area can be said to be getting worse, but the number of Silver Mane Iron Guards coming to the lower area is getting fewer and fewer. I don't know if it is because the battle situation in the upper area is difficult or for some other reason. After all, as a doctor and educator, he is not very clear about the policies of the upper area.

"Hey, Rivet Town..." Natasha couldn't help but feel a little worried. The defense of the town was getting weaker and weaker, and she had a group of children around her. If the rift expanded again, she would have to make plans early.

"Panyan Town might be a good choice." Natasha wiped the sweat from her face. Peter's condition had stabilized. No matter what, they must not go to the Rift Zone to look for supplies next time. The number of monsters in the Rift Zone this time has far exceeded that of before, and they must escape to a farther place.

Yao Luo opened the door while Natasha was busy.

When the little guys saw Yao Luo coming out, they hurriedly retreated, showing their fear and vigilance towards strangers.

Yao Luo bent down and lowered his body to keep himself and the children at the same height as much as possible.

"Which obedient child wants to eat chocolate?" Yao Luo took out a piece of chocolate from his storage waist bag. It was a special chocolate from the Interstellar Peace Company that was high in sweetness and calories.

When some children saw the chocolate, their eyes lit up visibly. In this orphanage, only the best-behaved children could get such a reward from Natasha on their birthday. This big brother actually took it out casually. He must be a good person!
After giving out the chocolates, Yao Luo touched the little heads of these children. Most of them were only seven or eight years old, both boys and girls. Natasha looked only seventeen or eighteen years old. It was too much for her to raise nearly ten children.

There are two children worth mentioning. One has short purple-red hair with a beautiful bow tied on her head. She looks bold and was chewing Yao Luo's chocolate. When Natasha came back, she was the first one to rush out the door.

The second one has gray hair similar to Xing, with a beautiful hairstyle, and is the most outstanding among the children in terms of appearance. You can see that he has his own ideas in his big eyes, and he is a smart child.

The most important thing is that the more Yao Luo looked at these two children, the more familiar they looked. Until sometimes when the two children got together, the strong sense of déjà vu immediately made Yao Luo suddenly realize something.

"Isn't this Xiao Xi'er and Bronya?"

Yao Luo's pupils trembled, and countless thoughts emerged in his mind.

"Am I in the wrong place? Or even..."

Upper area, snowfield in the suburbs.

After experiencing the initial confusion, Xing and his companions still have to move forward.

The place where they were was a snowy field, with endless white and never-ending strong winds. Even if they had the power of [Pioneering] to resist the cold, they couldn't stay here forever.

The strange animal-shaped ice sculpture kept roaring in one direction, with its hands in claw shape. It seemed more like it was escaping than hunting.

The few of them continued to move forward, and a rooftop attracted San Yue Qi's attention.

"The snow has fallen so low that only the roof is visible. How long will it last?"

The moth-shaped world-ripping monsters were running around everywhere. After they easily dealt with them, they found a snow pile that was not conspicuous, but very conspicuous.

"Woooooo~"

Sanyueqi had a speechless expression on his face. "Hey, hey, hey, if you can't help it, just come out. The sound is coming out, huh?"

Dan Heng's eyes flashed with ferocity, "The best way to deal with such people is..."

Xingye put his hands on his hips to show his agreement.

"Ouch!"

There was a flash of gunlight, and a purple figure suddenly jumped out from the snow pile.

With one hand on his waist and snow on his head, the burly blue-haired man stood up.

The green eyes were full of cunning and flattery. This suspicious man, who looked like an abnormal person, started to communicate with everyone.

"Hey buddy, it shouldn't be that serious, right? There's nothing wrong with crawling in the snow. You don't have to stab me with the tip of your gun." The man seemed a little angry. He spread his hands and looked like he would not let me go until he gave him an explanation.

(Dan Heng's stern warning look)

"But this is not the fault of the heroes! Haha." A smile instantly broke out on the man's face.

"I showed up too abruptly, so I deserve this poke! Otherwise, how could I meet all of you good friends? Haha..." This man was extremely slick, and his ability to read people's expressions must have reached its limit.

"Excuse me, is Commander Jeppard here? I know him well."

Seeing that his attempt to get close to the woman didn't work, the man immediately called for help.

"Jepard?" Xing repeated the name in confusion.

After just a moment of hesitation, the man's attitude instantly turned cold.

"Oh, aren't you the Silver Mane Guards? You should have said it earlier. It's unnecessary to have family members fighting against each other!"

His attitude was positive. There was no doubt that this Jeppard had a strong connection with the Silver Manes, and his previous flattering attitude was also due to the deterrent power brought by the name of Silver Manes.

"Sambokoski, nice to meet you." The man's tone became much more relaxed, as if he was sure that they would not hurt him.

"My name is Star."

After exchanging information, the man was greatly disappointed by the train crew's lack of knowledge of the place.

"Hey, you guys are really newbies... You're so inexperienced that I can't stand watching you." He seemed to treat Xing and the others as his colleagues.

"Well, since I am your senior after all, I will give you some guidance for free."

"There are many rules in this business..."

San Yueqi couldn't stand his smooth talk, "Just tell us how to get into the city!"

"Going into the city? Going back now? The store is not open today. It's no big deal for you to show me the way, but..."

(Dan Heng's stern warning look for the second time)
"But I, Sambo, am always willing to help others, haha..." Under the train crew's "conquering people with virtue", the man immediately led the way.

Although his tone was nonchalant, after several exchanges, he had almost figured out the identity, purpose, what they were doing here, and where they were going of the train crew. They really should not be underestimated.

Along the way, Sambo was like a surging river, continuously telling everyone about his "experience".

"I'm telling you, the seventh rule is: Don't leave footprints. I have a unique skill that allows me to leave no footprints on the snow. It's specially used to get rid of pursuers..."

It turns out that Murphy's Law applies everywhere.

A team of regular soldiers wearing blue uniforms and holding axes and spears were walking towards them.

As soon as they met, this tall and strong man was like a mouse seeing a cat, his feet seemed to be greased, and before anyone else could react, he immediately ran behind the train crew, leaving behind a sentence before leaving:
"If you don't run now, when will you run? I leave it to you, my friends!"

The soldiers known as the Silver Mane Guards naturally thought that the train crew were Sambo's accomplices.

"Take it!"

"Ahhh!"

Being regarded as accomplices, they were forced to fight, and the battle was about to break out.

"Ahhh!" Sanyueqi was very angry. "This guy! He runs faster than a rabbit!"

The soldiers cooperated very well and had gone through many actual combats, but the people in the train crew were all from powerful backgrounds. Each of them was a messenger of destiny. Even if they held back, ordinary people would not be able to last more than a few rounds.

March Seven raised his bow, and powerful colorful icy power gathered, intending to freeze the Silver Mane Iron Guard in place with one strike.

"Qiang!"

The bows were released, and several icy arrows flew out in a row. If nothing unexpected happened, this attack was enough to freeze all the Silver Mane Iron Guards present in place, unable to move.

But, not him.

A hand stretched out from behind the Silver Mane Iron Guard's line, and invisible energy condensed in the hand, which was harder than steel and stronger than the cold wind.

All ice arrows can only stop in front of the hand and cannot move forward any further.

With dazzling blond hair and snow-white armor, he stood in front of everyone like a city wall. The huge black unknown weapon in his hand slammed heavily on the ground, and the storm he raised easily blocked all of March 7's attacks.

The icy blue eyes carried a hint of judgment. "I, Jeppard Landau, the Silver Mane Iron Guard garrison commander, order you to stop your pointless resistance!"

"This is not a character who can be easily fooled..." Sanyueqi took two steps back. It would be better to leave this tough guy to Danheng.

Dan Heng's eyes were solemn. It was obvious that this man had been through many battles, so he needed to be handled with caution.

Xing rushed forward, swung the bat and was about to give the guy a little train jolt.

"collapse!"

The baseball bat collided with the giant weapon, and the crisp sound of hitting iron shocked the whole audience. The baseball bat in Xing's hand almost slipped out of her hand. She hadn't encountered such a tough opponent for a long time.

The attack was not useless, Jeppard's body retreated slightly.

Dan Heng's spear shot out like a dragon, sweeping towards Jeppard's legs, trying to force his feet off the ground.

Dan Heng reacted quickly, and the vibration from the heavy object falling to the ground made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"If your weapon hits his defense, there will be a strong recoil force. Don't fight hard!"

Dan Heng looked at Xing, and Xing instantly understood that this meant a joint attack.

The two men attacked Jeppard at the same time. For a moment, the sounds of guns and sticks clashing came one after another, like rain hitting banana leaves, one wave after another, exchanging the frequency of attack for the intensity of attack.

Jeppard suddenly felt overwhelmed. No matter how fast he blocked, he could not catch up with the attack of the two people. He was usually good at dealing with the heavy blows of large monsters, and the recoil force was always invincible, but the two little thieves in front of him were not the type he was good at dealing with.

More importantly, when other Silver Mane Guards want to help, the pink-haired archer is always the first to take action. Sometimes he even has to distract himself to protect other team members. For a thief who steals cultural relics, such combat effectiveness is really extraordinary.

After encountering the two again, Jeppard retreated and the fight had to stop.

"We are not his accomplices! Do you think he hesitated at all in abandoning us?"

March 7th is quite speechless. I always encounter such things on every pioneering trip.

After proving his innocence with the photos of the Yarilo VI, Jeppard was finally willing to trust a few people and led the train into the city.

A huge city appeared in front of them, with connections in all directions, and the severe cold was firmly blocked out.

Gears, ice, steam.

These people's first impression of it was that it was a steampunk ice and snow city.

“It is also the last city of mankind on this planet—Beloberg.”
