At this moment, Zhou Xiao, who was already considered extremely dangerous by Natasha, leisurely returned to the Goethe Hotel to program and repair the mechanical core so that it could be used.

"Let's go to the mechanical graveyard tomorrow and see if there are any ready-made materials..."

Zhou Xiao stretched his body and muttered to himself.

After some investigation during the day, he also learned that there was a mechanical cemetery in the lower area, which should contain a lot of readily available mechanical materials.

Wash up.

sleep.

Zhou Xiao lay down quickly and soon fell asleep, his breathing becoming very steady and even.

Inside the Goethe Hotel in the upper part of Belleburg.

Sitting on the bay window, March 7th stared blankly at the streets of the upper district outside the window, a faint worry in her eyes.

Today, she and Danheng searched for Zhou Xiao for a long time on the snowy plains, but they couldn't find him...

They asked Himeko for help in finding Zhou Xiao's location, but they couldn't find him on the snowy plain. Helpless, they decided to enter Beloborg to wait for Zhou Xiao to join them.

"This guy... he really doesn't give us any peace of mind." March 7 clenched his little fist and said fiercely, but before he could finish speaking, it turned into a sigh.

"He shouldn't be... stupid, he should be able to find it in such a big city."

I consoled myself on March 7th.

She had trouble sleeping, but she had to force herself to fall asleep quickly because she was going to meet the current Grand Protector of Beloborg the next day.

Nothing happened that night.

The next day.

Inside the Goethe Hotel in the lower section, Zhou Xiao woke up according to his usual biological clock and then began a disciplined day.

Although he wasn't on the train, he didn't neglect his daily self-discipline. After completing each task methodically, he made his way towards the mechanical graveyard.

The Mechanical Graveyard, as the name suggests, is the final resting place for a bunch of broken machines. It is not located in Rocky Town, but in the Wanderer Camp and the territory of Boss Swallow, who controls a lot of mechs in the Lower District.

You know what?

Even in this small lower district, the various forces are still intricately intertwined.

There are miners maintaining order with underground fire, wanderers, and mech soldiers. Among them, the wanderers rely on Schwarz, a mechanical tycoon, and their relationship with the miners is not particularly good. The reason for this poor relationship is more due to the shortage of supplies and resources.

Of course.

Even if the relationships in the lower districts are complicated, it has little to do with Zhou Xiao. He is just here to purchase local specialties and to make a mecha to bring back to the train to help him clean up.

Upon arriving at this mechanical graveyard, one can see many homeless people gathered here, trying to find some usable mechanical parts to exchange with Schwarzro for supplies.

It's obviously unrealistic to expect to build a Gundam out of thin air here, but since he's already here, Zhou Xiao started looking for parts in this mechanical graveyard.

Digging and digging and digging in the tiny patch of snow...

A group of homeless people squatted in the snow, searching for parts on the wrecked mechs.

"Look... I've found another treasure..."

"This is great! I can trade this for some good stuff with Boss Schwarz..."

After searching with the homeless man for a long time, Zhou Xiao felt a little irritable, for no other reason than this.

He couldn't possibly find these homeless people; they were seasoned pros. There's a saying: don't use your hobbies to challenge someone else's profession.

Now he has a deeper understanding of this sentence.

"Run! It's a monster! It's a monster!"

Just as Zhou Xiao was feeling frustrated and irritable because he couldn't find the parts, a shout of "Run!" broke the calm like a thunderclap, causing chaos in the scene.

A one-armed mechanical creature wielding a large, red-glowing metal sword staggered toward Zhou Xiao's location. It was quite large and its body was trembling, as if it were having a stroke.

It is a creation of the rift, a monster that appears due to the formation of a star core.

The monster before them seemed to be a product of the power within the Rift, mimicking a certain type of automaton. Its appearance undoubtedly indicated that a new Rift region had appeared in the vicinity.

"Jarvis... help everyone." In the midst of the chaotic crowd, a barefoot little girl with white hair and wearing a red cotton coat was leading an automaton, preparing to stop this Rift Creation.

The little girl had just seen the creature from the rift when she noticed it being suppressed and beaten by an older brother with a very low aura.

"So you're some kind of creation from a rift...?"

"You've put on another layer of disguise."

Zhou Xiao was just feeling frustrated and had nowhere to vent his anger when this Rift Creation ran into trouble. He kicked the Rift Creation, and then the entire mechanical body of the Rift Creation was kicked straight into the mountain.

With a loud "boom," a stream of air transformed into an invisible blade, firmly fixing the rift-created creature to the mountain's interior.

Dead beyond dead.

quiet...

It's too quiet.

When there was no sound, the sound of a heartbeat seemed deafening. The fleeing homeless people present were already dumbfounded by Zhou Xiao's kick.

Zhou Xiao flexed his wrists, clearly not expecting this creation from the Rift Realm to be so fragile.

really...

Simple foul mouth, ultimate enjoyment.

The lack of manners made me feel much more relaxed.

Zhou Xiao looked at the automated soldiers not far away, raised his eyebrows slightly, and suddenly had a simple, direct and effective idea in his mind.

Why... instead of dismantling these automatons, do I come to this mechanical graveyard to collect parts and put them back together?

This is a question worth considering...

Zhou Xiao's expression gradually turned cold as he slowly walked towards the automated soldier.

His fierce expression was so menacing that even the little white-haired girl noticed something was wrong. She quickly stepped in front of the automaton and called out in her childish voice.

"Can't..."

"?"

Hearing this voice, Zhou Xiao noticed the girl in the red cotton-padded jacket next to the mech soldier.

Clara...

Beneath the red cotton-padded jacket were two sections of fair and slender calves, and the smooth little feet on the snow looked like pieces of jade.

Jade feet.

Very harsh.

Zhou Xiao slowly walked up to Clara. The automaton seemed to sense Zhou Xiao's hostility and emitted a mechanical sound.

"Unfamiliar hostility detected. Protect... Clara. Activate temporary combat template..."

"Jarvis, no..." Clara had to stop Zhou Xiao and then the automaton in front of her, but unfortunately, the automaton had already detected Zhou Xiao's hostility and took counterattack measures.

Seeing this, Zhou Xiao was not used to being a mechanized soldier. He swiftly and cleanly sliced ​​the automaton away, leaving a perfectly smooth cut.

Clara: "..."

...

P.S.: I'd love to receive some small gifts, sob sob, I'm such a loser.
