Natural disasters are a natural phenomenon, and natural phenomena mean they can be traced and their origins can be traced.
Since the establishment of the Secret Sanctuary, natural disaster messengers have spread all over the place. Almost every natural disaster has been recorded, including when and where it occurred, what its scale was, what the casualties were, what the triggers were, and when it subsided.
But this natural disaster in Saint Aral clearly exceeded the expectations of the two natural disaster messengers. It was no longer a cold natural disaster and began to become conscious.
"It's for Rhode Island, or it's for a certain person or item. Don't worry, I have a sense of discretion."
Provence said worriedly: "I would rather face those monsters. I hope we don't cause trouble to Rhode Island."
…
"No, it's not a problem."
Asker obviously didn't sleep all night, and he couldn't sleep either. He didn't have any dissatisfaction with Zhou Jinru's sudden visit.
After Zhou Jinru expressed his intention to come, Asker fell into a rare long silence. After a long time, he asked: "Those things are not the property of Saint Yalar, and it is impossible to borrow them, but Aguang, I can give them to you." , can you use it?"
"I don't know, maybe I'm a genius and I know everything at a glance."
Ask shook his head: "No, I can guess what you want to do, but we haven't reached that point yet. The mobile city under our feet is accelerating, and it is only a matter of time before we avoid the natural disasters behind us."
"We don't have time to guess at riddles here, Mr. Asker. You are responsible for the hundreds of thousands of people who are still alive. When they are all left behind by natural disasters forever, it will be too late to regret."
"Ah Guang, one of the two Leopards was damaged by you. I have a use for the other one and can't lend it to you. I don't think you will be satisfied with the remaining four Foxes."
Zhou Jinru said calmly: "I only want one, and the Fox style can also be used."
"There is no manual or operating manual. Do you have a Victoria pilot's certificate?"
Zhou Jinru spread his hands: "I don't have anything..."
"This is crazy," Asker sighed.
He tried to make Zhou Jinru give up his idea: "Everything is your guess. How do you know that natural disasters are targeting you?"
Zhou Jinru stared into Asker's eyes: "I am sitting in front of you now. The Timos family has complete control over this city. I can check where the most violent attacks are."
Although Ask didn't believe it, he still made two calls. A few minutes later, the old housekeeper standing in front of the map showed a look of astonishment.
The first to be attacked was Rhode Island's defense line. They fought back with strong firepower and wiped out the enemy without much effort. The only loss was their ammunition reserves.
Rhode Island's powerful firepower was partly due to the fact that the Origin Stone monsters gave up their frontal landing on Rhode Island and switched to the Saint Aral people's defense line.
There is almost no connection between the two, because the St. Aral's defense line is quite hidden, hidden behind more complete fortifications. Their firepower may not be as good as the Rhode Island operators, but they have more people and extremely strong defensive performance.
Currently undergoing the test of the Origin Stone monster.
If he insisted on having something to do with Zhou Jinru, Asker looked at the letters marked on the map and came up with an extremely ridiculous answer.
The straight line distance between them is the shortest.
"I've never heard of anything like this."
"You heard it now."
Ask pinched the bridge of his nose and felt a little tired: "Aguang, St. Aral can throw in a few more city districts. We have the ability to build more, but we can't live without our friend Rhode Island."
"Okay, Mr. Asker, let's be honest, how much more losses can Saint Alarr bear now?"
Zhou Jinru leaned on the back of his chair and glanced down at his watch: "I am absolutely sure that I am not going to die. I can't bear to leave my girls."
"A Fox, I will send someone to help you, but if you can't control that thing, don't mention it again."
Zhou Jinru exhaled and said the same: "I want to go to an uninhabited area, preferably an abandoned factory, so that the damage caused will be minimized. You must ensure that the connection of the abandoned factory must be controlled by Saint Yalar. If it doesn’t work, just cut off the tail to survive.”
The previously destroyed steam mechas were all left in St. Aral. Zhou Jinru believed that the Timos family would definitely not let go of this batch of weapons and equipment, and the time was urgent and it was impossible to transport them out of the country, so it was most likely that they were in the core city of natural selection. in the warehouse.
In that battle to ambush the Sinner, after four seemingly fierce steam mechas were controlled, the pilots decisively surrendered, so the steam mechas were not damaged. Although they looked a little rough on the surface, they were actually just like new ones. Same.
Zhou Jinru stood in front of a Fox-type steam mecha that was more than two meters high and looked at it carefully. Compared with the Leopard-type that was more than four meters tall, the Fox-type seemed to be particularly compact, but even with these things, flesh and blood could not stop it at all.
The person in charge of guiding pointed the Fox steam mecha with an infrared pen and explained: "The Fox focuses on agility. It is different from the Leopard and above steam armor. It is the only pocket mecha with the ability to be worn. Its components are divided into parts. It provides energy for the head, neck guard, breastplate, armguards, gloves, belt, skirt, leggings and boots. The back is equipped with a micro steam power tank. Six pure Origin Stones can be inserted to charge the whole body mecha. In the case of straight-line movement, the maximum operating time can reach thirty-six hours.”
Zhou Jinru frowned slightly: "What if I frequently make dodges and leaps, thrust forward multiple times, and get attacked?"
"About four hours will cause varying degrees of damage to the steam mecha."
The production process is very weak and the strength of the materials is not up to par.
When Zhou Jinru heard this, his heart went cold. He originally thought it was a powerful piece of equipment that spanned the ages, but he didn't expect that Victoria just built it based on the drawings, and the subsequent optimization was minimal.
In other words, these mechas cannot be used as conventional combat equipment. At best, they are secret weapons that can be used two or three times.
The Leopard steam mecha would collapse after one hit from the front, while the Fox mecha would be even weaker. He suddenly wasn't too worried about Victoria suddenly pulling out something like a space battleship, because it couldn't be built.
"Before this natural disaster is solved, I cannot stay in one place for too long, nor can I sit still and wait for death. As long as Saint Yalal has not escaped from the scope of the natural disaster, my staying in the center will only increase the danger."
Zhou Jinru came up with the idea of steam mechas in order to strengthen his defense capabilities. In the face of unknown natural disasters, he always felt that relying on rigid shields might not be enough.
"Please note that there are pulleys under the boots, and the miniature steam-powered tank on the back also has a jet function. Most of the time, the pilot does not need to walk on his own."
The guide spoke very carefully. While listening, Zhou Jinru disassembled one of the fox steam mechas with the help of other staff and put it on himself.
When he put on the leggings, he bent his knees and felt a little stiff. He couldn't help but ask: "Can these things really enhance agility?"
"Of course. If you feel dragged down now, that's because the steam power tank is not turned on."
Zhou Jinru was patient and put on all the parts neatly, except for the helmet. He tried to punch, and the punching movement was a beat slower than when he was empty-handed...
This piece of equipment was simply vulnerable, and he felt that the humanoid shadow behind him could easily crush any piece of armor.
"Mr. Aguang, the steam power tank has been filled with six pure source stones. You can start the steam mecha at any time."
Zhou Jinru didn't forget that this thing costs money, so he said, "I will reimburse you for the fuel cost."
He pressed the button under the arm guard, and the joints of the various parts emitted a red light. For a moment, he suddenly felt that the burden on his body was no longer so heavy, and his movements became faster accordingly, as if the equipment was carrying the body.
He used the pulley to move a certain distance and made two turns in the spacious warehouse. The pulley on the back of the boots worked better than expected. As long as his reaction speed could keep up, he could run extremely fast and make very exaggerated movements. .
It can only be said that the Fox type is an anomaly among steam mechas, because the Leopard type at the next level is completely different from an exoskeleton to a mecha.
Zhou Jinru didn't know how to ripple, but it was no problem to run quickly.

…
The purple arrow that cut through the air penetrated the two Originium monsters. Faust stood in the dark, watching the monster whose whole body was covered with crystals shatter into tiny Originium particles. Almost at the same time, the phantom crossbowmen stopped together. , a crisis was eliminated in their hands.
"It would be too simple to just deal with these things."
Faust glanced at his nonchalant subordinates, turned around and left. It was a waste of time and energy, so he might as well take the time to rest.
His fingers involuntarily touched a belt worn around his waist. The things the leader brought were more useful than expected. They were indeed stimulating his potential, but the corresponding physical exertion was too much. Out of a kind of Crisis awareness, Faust believes that this thing consumes not only physical strength, but even the user's life.
"There are always people who can't refuse the temptation of power."
Gently pressing the buckle, Faust took off his belt without feeling anything. He stared at the snake head in the middle of the belt. Every time he activated the Origin Stone skill to attack, the snake head's eyes would glow red, thus strengthening the attack. , and can even speed up the operation of his Origin Stone skills. The purple arrow, which was originally activated at intervals, can now be automatically triggered on the third attack after two attack actions.
No, this thing can't be used anymore.
Faust threw the belt to the ground and ran over the snake's head with the heel of his boot, crushing the rectangular device to pieces.
"Chief, no Originium monsters were found that followed!"
The subordinate's report made the young man frown and asked, "Is there any news from the Yeti team?"
"The Yeti monster replied that there are no more Originium monsters in Rhode Island's defense line."
not like this.
Faust raised his face, and he could still feel the malice stinging his skin in the gloomy night sky. This crisis had not disappeared. The reason why he stopped attacking was because the target had left.
"Is that doctor from Rhode Island directing the battle?"
"No, the Snow Monster Team said that they found no trace of Dr. Rhode Island. He seemed to have left the Rhode Island defense line shortly after the battle began."
After thinking for two seconds, the unsmiling young man said in a low voice: "Contact the Ghost Army and ask if the target has been found."
The phantom crossbowman asked doubtfully: "Chief, is our target not the doctor?"
His question did not receive any answer. The young man stared at him, as if being stared at by a poisonous snake. Cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the phantom crossbowman, and he hurriedly left: "I'll ask right away."
A moment later, Faust received the information from the ghost troops. The doctor left the Rhode Island defense line and went to the core city of natural selection. He left the core city ten minutes ago and headed for the abandoned factory.
"There must be a reason. Is it because of you?"
Faust squeezed the crossbow in his hand and whispered: "The phantom crossbowmen team continues to be on alert. Send a group of people to follow me to the abandoned factory. If there is a large-scale battle elsewhere, notify me in time."
"Chief, I..."
"You stay."
"yes……"
The phantom crossbowman lowered his head. Faust's intuition was very strong and had saved them in crisis many times, and now was no exception.
…
…
"Doctor went to an abandoned factory?"
Amiya looked at the information sent by the Intelligence Department. They had no more fighting here, and all they could do was stare at each other with the Yeti team.
Judging from the doctor's movement trajectory, he should have attracted all the Origin Stone monsters away.
"Ceria, what do you think?"
Seria glanced at the information, reached out to fold the paper and put it in her pocket: "I'll go, Amiya, you guys continue to defend in place to prevent accidents."
At the same time, Froststar also received the news. Although it was still in the speculation stage, Faust had already begun to take action.
"Why do you want to help him?"
Faust was silent for two seconds: "To return a favor, the organization belongs to the organization, and the individual belongs to the individual. I only led a team of six people including me. This is a normal patrol. No one can gossip."
Hearing this, Shuangxing's expression was a little complicated. She glanced at Amiya across from her, raised her right hand, and summoned the snow monster to come to discuss.
"Leave half of us here to defend, while the rest follow me to the abandoned factory. Is there any problem?"
The confused snow monster asked: "Why?"
Shuangxing gritted his teeth and said, "For our order!"
…
…
The Kingslayer with a level three wolf fang sat melancholy under a dead tree. Sharing intelligence with the ghost troops was the intention of the leader. She could not issue any orders to the ghost troops in operation except for the explicit command. As a result, she became a loner. ,
She turned off the communication device early, since she was not needed anyway.
I was sitting alone outside an abandoned factory blowing off the wind. The main reason was that I had run out of energy. The triple jump was too enjoyable before and consumed too much energy. Now that I think about it, the leader was right. There is something wrong with this belt.
The regicide was lying under the tree, holding a leaf that had not completely dried up in his mouth, thinking about a troubling question:
"Should I go undercover in Rhode Island?"
