Nata, what other supplies do we need to buy?

Natasha thought about it after hearing this.

"Let's buy medical supplies. Recently, our people have been having more and more clashes with the Rift Monsters in Rivet Town."

Medical supplies are almost gone.

Seele picked up the water glass in her hand and looked inside; it was empty.

"I'll do whatever you say. Whatever you tell me to buy, I'll buy."

After saying that, Seele stood up and went to get another glass of water.

Natasha nodded.

"Okay, come to me tomorrow morning before you go to the Star Train. I'll give you a list."

Seele nodded in agreement.

Bronya glanced at the clock on the wall; it was almost 22:30 p.m.

"Has Xing not returned yet? Seele, let's set off first."

My task must be completed before midnight.

Upon hearing this, Seele became shy and hesitant.

Being pinned against a wall and kissed in public is really embarrassing!

However, I definitely have to go; I already promised Bronya.

"How about we wait a little longer? The secret passage that Sambo pointed out to us will only take half an hour to get to the flower shop you mentioned."

Bronya didn't think much of it.

"Yes, that's fine, there's enough time."

Natasha glanced at Bronya and then at Seele.

"Bronya, Seele, do you want to wear a mask or something?"

There should still be Silvermane Iron Guards patrolling the Upper City at night, right?

Bronya, you cannot show yourself in front of the Silvermane Guards yet.

If the Silvermane Iron Guards follow the clues and locate the lower city, they can conduct a large-scale search of this area.

The supplies we just acquired..."

Bronya nodded.

"I understand. Don't worry, I'll handle this."

Natasha didn't say anything more after hearing that.

Just then, the door was suddenly kicked open, and Xing swaggered in.

"Bronya, Seele? Let's go, let's go to the upper city."

Bronya looked at Xing and immediately saw the bright handprint on Xing's face.

"Um... Xing, what happened to your face?"

Upon hearing this, Xing took out her phone, opened the camera, and looked at her face.

Seeing the slap mark on her face, Xing waved it off nonchalantly.

"Hey~ It's nothing. We just ran into a bunch of Rift Monsters on the way back with Clara."

Because he was distracted while protecting Clara, he was slapped.

It's okay, it's okay, don't worry about it, it'll be fine in a bit.

Let's go, aren't you guys still going to the upper city to do a mission?

I'll keep watch for you. If any Silvermane Iron Guards come, I'll immediately tell you to run away.

Bronya and Seele didn't ask any more questions about the slap mark on Star's face after hearing this.

The three left Natasha's clinic and followed the path Sambo pointed out towards the upper town.

................

In the path that Sambo pointed out.

Star, Bronya, and Seele struggled through the dimly lit tunnel.

Xing's face showed a distressed expression.

"Ptooey! Why is there so much dust in this tunnel?"

Upon hearing this, Seele said...

“This used to be a mining tunnel. Didn’t you see over there? There are still abandoned mine carts.”

Xing is feeling a little unwell.

"Sambo didn't even know how to point us out an easier path."

"Seele, do you know any other routes? I'm covered in dust, and I'm sure Himeko will give me a lecture when I get back."

Seele shook her head.

"I don't know either. I've only been to the Upper City once in my entire life."

Xing was quite surprised when she heard Xier say that she had only been to the Upper City once.

"Really? You've only been to the Upper City once? Really?"

Seele nodded.

"That's right, I really only went once."

I really don't want to go to the Upper Town area.

Seele looked disgusted, and Bronya could tell there must be something going on.

Xing scratched his head.

"Why? Isn't life in the upper city much better than in your lower city?"

Logically speaking, you should really want to go to the upper town.

Seele looked at the stars, then at Bronya, and confessed.

"Let me tell you the truth."

When I was very young, Uncle Oleg took me to the Upper Town.

I saw people in the upper town throwing away food that was still half-eaten!

Do they know what kind of life people in the lower city are still living?

I haven't been to the Upper Town since then.

I definitely wouldn't have come this time if it weren't for helping Bronya with her mission.

Bronya wanted to explain further, but she had nothing to say.

In Shangcheng District, there are indeed many instances of food waste.

Those people all possessed a certain amount of power and money.

Ordinary people in the upper city also cherish food.

Chapter 69, Star: Why haven't you started yet?

Xing was very puzzled.

"Huh? Even in this state in Belleburg, there are still people wasting food? I don't understand."

Bronya, aren't you going to do anything about it?

Bronya sighed.

"I am in charge of military affairs; I have no authority over the administrative aspects."

so........."

Xing nodded in understanding.

"I understand. It's not that you don't want to care, it's that you don't have the right to care, right?"

Bronya nodded.

"Well, after all, I'm not the Great Guardian yet."

Seele wiped the dust off her face.

"Let's talk about casual conversation after we finish the task. We need to speed things up, or we'll have made a wasted trip if we run out of time."

Then.

The three quickened their pace, heading upwards along the mine tunnel.

Finally, the three of them walked out of the mine tunnel and arrived in the upper city.

To be precise, it's not Shangcheng District.

The exit of this mine tunnel is outside the city wall of the upper city.

Belleburg is colder at night than during the day.

Xing rubbed his hands together.

"It's so cold here. Let's hurry and get into the city. I urgently need a floor heating system to warm myself up."

As she spoke, Xing walked to the city wall and, following the information Sangbo had given her, tapped a small indentation on the wall.

The next second, a section of the city wall collapsed, revealing a secret passage in front of them.

The three of them then went inside.

At the exit of the secret passage, the scout poked his head out, looking around suspiciously.

After confirming that there were no Silvermane Iron Guards around, Xing waved to the person behind him.

"Let's go, there's no one outside."

The three walked out of the secret passage, which then closed automatically.

From the outside, no one would notice the secret passage; all they would see is the perfectly sealed city wall.

Bronya was shocked.

When was Sambo able to dig out this secret passage?

As the commander of the Silver Mane Iron Guard, she led patrols every day but never discovered it!

Bronya had already decided that once she returned to the lower city, she would definitely capture Sambo and question him.

Ask him where else there are secret passages.

These secret passages would be a real problem if the monsters from the Rift Realm made use of them.

The three of them moved stealthily along the way, and if they heard even the slightest sound, they would immediately hide in nearby cover.

After a series of close calls, the three arrived at the flower shop without any major incidents.

There were also many fresh flowers displayed at the entrance of the flower shop.

There were also four underfloor heating units next to these flowers, which prevented them from being killed by the cold wind.

Xing put his hands behind his back, looking on with an expression of amusement.

"Hehe, we've arrived. Let's get started on your mission."

Seeing Star's expression, Seele said speechlessly.

"Could you please turn around? Is it really okay for you to just stand here and watch...?"

Upon hearing this, Xing turned around with a grin.

"Okay, I'll turn around."

When Xing turned around, Bronya and Seele exchanged a glance, their faces turning red with shyness.
