Star Iron: I, who forged my own armor by hand, ascended to the cycle of reincarnation.

Dust Tribulation glanced at them and decisively said, "It's just adrenaline. They're afraid of death, terrified of us, and want to escape as quickly as possible."

"Well, I overestimated them."

Soon the group left the large mining area, and on their way to Rocky Town, they encountered other refugees, or scavengers.

Everyone was looking at them with strange eyes. Not only could San Yueqi not stand it, but even Dan Heng felt something was off.

Only the mortal tribulations left me feeling nothing.

Who hasn't been an orphan or a beggar at some point?

Suddenly, a layer of red light emerged from the corner and swept over them.

Startled by March 7th, Dan Heng and Xing immediately drew their weapons, only to be met with a mechanical alarm.

"Lay down your weapons, or we will use force to suppress you."

A robot three or four meters tall, wielding a rotating chainsaw, strode forward, its eyes flashing a dangerous red light.

This terrified the two men leading the way, who dropped the leader they were carrying on their backs to the ground.

"Gentlemen, put down your weapons! These automated soldiers can kill people if they use force to suppress us!"

"Put down your weapons and it won't bother you anymore. Then my brother and I will explain everything to you slowly."

"Yes, yes, put the weapons down first."

Left with no other option, the three had to put their weapons away, but they remained wary of the Wolf-tooth mechs.

As the two men said, after they laid down their weapons, the red glow of the Wolf-tooth mech disappeared. "Danger cleared. Ahead lies Rocky Town. Swords and blades are prohibited."

After saying that, the wolf-tooth mech turned and left, disappearing into some hidden corner.

"Alright, explain to me why there's such a big and scary robot!"

March 7th patted his chest, looking as if he had just escaped a disaster.

"Uh, it seems you only know about the Earth Fire. Actually, that mech is actually Schwarz's subordinate, and Schwarz is the biggest mech leader."

"The fact that the Lower City was able to hold onto Rocky Town was due to the combined efforts of Swaro and Earthfire, with these mechs being the main force."

That's all we know.

Chen Jie nodded silently. "Since the mechman said that Pan Yan Town is just ahead, you can leave now."

"Also, your boss woke up halfway there."

After speaking, Chen Jie gave a look to the three people behind him, and the four of them quickly walked forward together.

Sure enough, a lively "discussion" soon followed.

March 7th couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Pfft, Dust Calamity, I didn't expect you to be so wicked. Why are you different from when you were on the train?"

"【Exploration】One must have an pioneering spirit. I've said before that I don't like a dull and boring life; it only makes me lose interest."

Upon hearing this, March 7th and Xing nodded thoughtfully, then March 7th looked at Xing with a puzzled expression.

"what happened to you?"

"I'm wondering if Dust Calamity could create a robot that big; it looks really imposing."

"Dust Tribulation, is it possible to create it?"

Seeing Xing's expectant face, Chen Jie frowned in disappointment.

"Why make that kind of robot?" Xing asked, somewhat disappointed. However, Chen Jie continued...

"That kind of robot isn't very good. I can make a much better one, but there's no need."

Watching the group chat, Dan Heng, who was observing, finally understood: Chen Jie was a bit of a chatterbox.

"Everyone, our top priority is to get into Rocky Town. It seems that Sambo has already slipped away to Rocky Town before us."

The discussion stopped, and Dan Heng walked ahead, while Chen Jie was pulled back by Xing and San Yueqi to chat.

The conversation didn't end until everyone entered Rocky Town.

"This Rocky Town looks pretty big, but why are the people here looking at us like we're monsters?"

"Her elegant attire, fair complexion, and impeccable cleanliness made her clearly out of place in this underground world, hence the kind of look she gave him."

Dustfall attempted to find Natasha's small clinic, but the result was predictable: the buildings in the lower city were a chaotic, tangled mess.

He even discovered that some paths might have problems allowing two people to travel at the same time.

There is no longer enough living space.

"The best approach right now is to split up and explore to find Sambo. What do you think, Dustfall?"

Should we explore and search separately? That's fine too.

"I think it's ok"

With Dan Heng and Chen Jie nodding in approval, the decision was made.

However, the result was that, apart from Dan Heng and Chen Jie, Xing and San Yueqi teamed up to explore.

The air in Panyan Town was filled with a faint smell of dust and minerals. He wasn't sure if breathing in this kind of air for too long would cause him any health problems.

But that's not important, it won't have any impact on the dust tribulation anyway.

Chen Jie walked alone on the road in Pan Yan Town, silently observing his surroundings.

There were food stalls, but I only saw a few along the way. Children played in small groups on the street, their clothes patched up and their skin yellowed—proof of malnutrition.

Even the dust and calamity couldn't help but fall silent at the scenes unfolding in the lower city.

These people's living conditions seemed even worse than when he was a beggar, since sometimes you could actually find some good things in the garbage dump.

During the journey, one could occasionally see groups of people wearing armbands patrolling the streets.

However, they were taken aback when they saw Chen Jie, and then quickly left.

"Are they going to report my whereabouts? Do they think I'm from the Upper City?"

And so, the seemingly aimless dust tribulation had achieved its goal, leisurely observing everything around it.

However, just as Chen Jie was silently observing everything around him, a cold voice came from behind him.

"Young master from the upper district, who brought you to the lower district?"

Have they arrived already? They're quite fast.

Turning around, I saw a girl dressed in purple, her eyes filled with coldness and disgust.

However, she was momentarily surprised when she saw Chen Jie's face, because Chen Jie's expression was too calm.

"I'm asking you a question! What are you doing in the lower city? What? Did everyone in the upper city die and you need to transfer people from the lower city?"

Yes, very aggressive.

"No, I just want to take a look and find someone named Sambo."

"Huh? Sambo?" Seele seemed to realize something, a cold smile spreading across her face.

"That guy's been getting increasingly restless lately."

"Tell me, how much money did you give that guy?"

Hearing this, Chen Jie was a little confused. Did he have to pay for this?

"He didn't ask me for money, and I don't have any either," Chen Jie slowly shook his head; he didn't dare ask me for money either.

"He didn't charge you? Wow, that's like the sun rising in the west!"

Seele sneered repeatedly upon hearing this, revealing that her dislike for the Upper City was not just ordinary, but utterly extreme.

"Do you think this place is terrible? It's all your fault, and it's not a place for you to be."

"Alright, you delicate young master, now that you've finished looking at the lower city, hurry up and get back to your upper city."

Seele finished speaking bitterly and was about to leave when Dust Tribulation called her back.

"Wait, I think you've misunderstood something. I'm not from the Upper City."

A flash of purple light, and a scythe was pressed against his neck.

"Do you want to hear what you're saying? Are you trying to fool me by saying you're not from the Upper City?"

Seele's face contorted with anger, while Dust Calamity calmly repeated what he had just said.

"I am indeed not from the Upper City. I come from another world, another civilization. I don't know if you've ever heard of the term 'extraterrestrial visitor'."

"To put it simply, my companion and I are doing good deeds without expecting anything in return. We came here to help you resolve your current situation."

"Say something you can understand, like overthrowing the tyranny of the High Protector and restoring true stability to Beloborg?"

As expected, upon hearing about the overthrow of the High Warden's tyranny, Seele raised an eyebrow, the scythe vanished, and her attitude softened considerably.

"I believe you. Those guys in the Upper City wouldn't dare say such disrespectful things."

The speed of this change was so rapid that even Chen Jie shook his head slightly, "Childish mentality, an extreme version of March 7th."

"Alright, could you please show me around the lower city? Perhaps the path to salvation lies there."

Seele raised an eyebrow: "Are you misunderstanding something? What does my belief that you're not from the Upper City have to do with your ability to stabilize Belloberg?"

"Would you just blindly believe someone who claims they're here to save your world? Are you a three-year-old?"

These sharp words made Chen Jie laugh, not out of anger, but because he genuinely found them amusing.

He pulled a small gun from his pocket and, under Seele's unwavering gaze, pulled the trigger. A trash can, along with all the garbage inside, vanished instantly.

"As you can see, I am a researcher, a very capable researcher, just in terms of your Earthfire's weapons and equipment."

"If I wanted to, I could make even the most barely usable junk parts multiply in value several times over, or even more."

"I also saw those automated soldiers on the road. They're easier to upgrade, don't you think?"

As soon as Chen Jie finished speaking, he felt his wrist being grabbed.
