Chapter 36. Infirmity

Zhou Jinru didn't just stand there and let the Origin Stone bugs spray him. He immediately raised the round shield hanging on his left arm.

It turned out that after he blocked a hero from the acid sprayed by a special Originium Insect, the opponent gave him the shield in his hand. From then on, Zhou Jinru stood at the front of the team and acted as a heavy weapon to resist the damage.

The blazing flames burned a layer of light film on the shield. Zhou Jinru glanced at the rigid shield that was slowly and steadily descending. After the people behind him dispersed, he got stuck in the gap between the Pompeii-type Originium Insect's flames and moved forward quickly.

He rolled with a sliding step and came close to the front of him.

In the narrow space, the heat radiated from the body of the Pompeii-type Originium Worm made the air scorched, and the scattered Originium particles began to rise sharply, so much so that Zhou Jinru's sanity began to decline.

"No matter how big the Source Stone Worm is, it is still a Source Stone Worm."

Zhou Jinru grabbed hold of the protruding Originium crystals on the surface of the Pompeii-type Originium Insect, and climbed up with the help of his rigid shield and reason.

He thought that if the Originium Insect world was also a civilized society, this Pompeii-type Originium Insect would probably call the police...

Fortunately, the terrain here is narrow and this big guy is stuck in front of the door, unable to move. It really fulfills the joke about a big body but a weak door.

Soon, Zhou Jinru found this guy's eyes. Even if it was a creature catalyzed by the source stone veins, it had a pair of black gem-like eyes slightly below its head (if there was one).

Unlike the Pompeii-type Originium bug that Zhou Jinru killed on the surface, which had densely packed and disgusting compound eyes, the body of this guy now seemed to come from another kind of bug.

"goodbye."

Zhou Jinru pulled out his revolver, pointed it at the eyes and pulled the trigger. The bullets shattered the huge eyeballs into pieces. The Pompeii-type Originium worm sprayed flames wildly for five minutes, and finally turned into a pile of broken pieces.

The cracked source stone crystal.

The instigator had already jumped into the power control room. He looked at the thickened steel sheath on the ground, which seemed to be pushed out by something from bottom to top. There were multi-angular bifurcated Originium crystals, its source.

It is most likely an Originium vein.

The corpses of the Origin Stone Worms behind him were cleaned up by the combatants outside. They walked in wearing thick protective clothing and said warily: "Mr. Aguang, this place is very unstable. Please leave now!"

Zhou Jinru turned around, looked at Scorpio's protective mask, shook his head, and said firmly: "I am here, you are doing your homework. If I leave, you will really be in danger."

After several guesses and Seria's hints, he vaguely felt his own specialness. Both his rational system and himself were extremely targeted at the Origin Stone, as if his existence was to fight against the Origin Stone Belt.

It's not stable.

The seventh team was in awe. In their eyes, Zhou Jinru was an extremely mysterious being. He had a deep friendship with the Diamond Queen and was able to help them without hesitation. If they didn't know that the Diamond Queen had someone in mind, they would have thought that there was a relationship between them.

Something will happen.

Zhou Jinru could only sense emotions, but could not know what others were thinking. He felt baffled by the mood changes of these people, but he also took advantage of the situation to replenish the emotional value.

He stood in the power control room and watched the combatants clear the Originium crystals that had drilled out of the ground, seal the holes, and clean the entire control room. They were all performing their duties in an orderly manner. Obviously, they were no longer the first.

This is the first time I've done this.

"Does this happen often?"

Scorpio had just finished transporting the Origin Stone crystals. When he heard Zhou Jinru's question, he replied in a hoarse voice: "It only happens once or twice a year. Most people here have worked in underground mines for at least a year. They are familiar with all operations.

, after all, the Originium veins are a threat and the lifeblood of our survival."

Zhou Jinru didn't speak anymore. This was helplessness. In the era of mobile cities, people avoided the Origin Stone for fear of becoming infected. Only some small countries that were unable to support the mobile city would be responsible for mining the Origin Stone. Now, in the dreamland

In this world, the boundaries between infected and non-infected people are very blurred. Everyone is fighting for survival and must complete their work even in dangerous areas.

"Yes, you are right, only professionals can handle these things, you are all real warriors."

The power system experts they brought quickly got into the work of the maintenance workers. During the forty-minute maintenance work, they guarded the power control room until everything returned to normal.

"More than half a million people live in this mobile city, and they all rely on the Originium veins beneath us to survive. Daily life requires a lot of electricity. I hope this disaster will not have a particularly large impact."

Scorpio stood next to Zhou Jinru, explaining some problems, and then glanced at the experts who were busy doing repairs. Zhou Jinru could also see the worry in his eyes through the protective mask.

Zhou Jinru comforted him: "Do you know how good the situation is now? The original large-scale mobile cities had a population of at least one million. They would only move when natural disasters struck, because the daily consumption would be indescribable.

In fact, once their mobility is paralyzed, the people in the city will have no choice but to wait for death, and natural disasters will kill everyone."

He stepped on the steel ground under his feet: "Living underground avoids natural disasters. It will be more difficult during the dark night, but life still has to be lived, and it will always pass. It has been like this for so many years."

Zhou Jinru fully understands Scorpio's concerns. They are sleeping on an unstable bomb. If they are not careful, half a million people will be turned into fly ash in an instant. This is why the power control room must be rescued quickly.

"An underground city does not have only one power control room. We are just one of them, but the rescue forces must go all out because no one knows whether they are the key power control room."

At the end of their exchange, the electrical expert in charge of maintenance climbed out of the giant machine and shouted: "The maintenance work is completed, everyone get out, we are going to debug!"

Scorpio's tension relaxed slightly, and he said sincerely: "Mr. Aguang, I'll buy you a drink after this is over."

"That will have to wait until we have time. I don't know what's going on with the Diamond Queen yet."

The direction Seria is heading to is the most dangerous place after the Originium Mine Riots. She has always been like this, going to wherever is the most dangerous. As long as she is there, even the retreating team will return to the battlefield.

She was already very tired, really very tired.
