Chapter 311 Convergence
Chapter 311 Convergence
"Damn it!" Ignoring his injuries, Di Xing hurriedly chased after the new attack, but he was still a step too late. The cave entrance was hit by the energy beam, causing a huge explosion and the entire cave collapsed.
"Damn it!" But Di Xing had no time to be frustrated. He hurriedly turned around and faced away from the explosion, using the force of the blast to leap in front of the speeding bullet train.
He had to stop the bullet train, or it would crash directly into the collapsing cave.
"Vitty, brake!" Di Xing roared.
Vitty quickly pulled the brakes, and sparks flew as the train wheels scraped against the ground.
But the deceleration was clearly insufficient, and the bullet train still crashed straight into Di Xing. Di Xing tried his best to stop the train, his feet carving deep furrows in the ground.
"Stop right there!" Dixing and Vitty shouted at the same time.
Vitty pulled the brakes to their limit, while Dixing stomped on the ground again, shattering it.
Finally, thanks to the two men's efforts, the train managed to come to a stop in front of the ruins at the tunnel entrance.
"I never expected you could use the power of two souls simultaneously. Just now, you even changed your attribute from light to dark, which makes your foundation impure. It seems we need to reassess your eligibility for the ritual. We need to report this to the higher-ups. You're lucky; you escaped with your life."
The man in black robes stood atop God's Shatter, which had been restored to its shield form and was flying horizontally, and spoke in a relaxed tone.
"However, I've already ordered the pillar passageway connecting the fifth floor to the fourth floor to be sealed off. Now that your passageway has been blown up, how are you going to get the food up there? I'm looking forward to it."
After saying that, the man in black robes swiftly left the scene, riding on the wrath of the gods.
"Don't run, you bastard!"
Di Xing wanted to give chase, but suddenly lost his strength and fell heavily to the ground, his skeletal armor beginning to crumble.
"Are you alright, Di Xing?" Ai Xiao hurriedly jumped off the train and ran over to help Di Xing up.
"It's alright, but I've almost used up all my spirit power," Di Xing said, panting heavily.
"Di Xing, are you alright?" The golden dragon, Ji Qiao Chen - Gao An Yu Jin Yu Long, flew down from the garbage dump that Di Xing had rushed down earlier. On its body were Gao Yan Er, Lunia, Li Fei Hua Yue, and others, while on its head sat Xian Dao Shen Ji.
"Shenji? What brings you here?"
"We had just passed through the tunnel and reached the fourth level to meet up with Hanazuki-chan when we saw that golden light shooting into the sky from the direction of the Scrap Metal Plaza. We knew something must have happened to you again, so we rushed over. Then this uncle told us that you had rushed down through the garbage chute."
"Really, that stinky Di Xing, he's gone too far!" Nami and Ruan Nuo both regained consciousness, but their voices were still very weak.
"Sister!" Little Oriole on the bullet train excitedly flew over to her.
Seeing Lunia standing silently to the side, Di Xing struggled to stand up from Ai Xiao's arms and staggered toward Lunia.
"Lunya, I'm sorry..."
Lunia looked at Di Xing with her violet eyes.
He suddenly delivered a headbutt to Di Xing.
Then she hugged Di Xing and burst into tears.
"I'm sorry, I know it's not your fault, but... but..."
Di Xing also held her tightly until their emotions had calmed down a bit.
Di Xing told everyone what had just happened.
......
"So, Jane..." Ai Xiao's voice choked up a little, then she hugged her best friend Lunia with heartache.
"Our master... did it all for everyone. We absolutely cannot let those scum's schemes succeed."
“But now that person has destroyed all the passages to the fourth floor, what should we do?” Ruan Nuo said weakly.
"Damn it, we finally got the grain here, and we're just a little short!" Di Xing was a little angry. There's an old saying that if you travel a hundred miles, you're only halfway there. But that's not true. Even if you're just 1% short, the mission is still incomplete.
Just like now, they went through all sorts of trouble to deliver the grain to Muwudulun, only to find that the difference at this level is like heaven and earth. What should they do?
“It seems we have no choice but to contact Shi Xun and have him dig this tunnel from the fourth level. It will be very slow, but it seems to be the only way at the moment,” Vitty said calmly.
"Sigh, really, today is the day of the scrap metal temple fair. I was hoping to deliver the food to everyone today," Ai said regretfully.
“To be precise, on this day when the moon is at its largest, each district would usually hold a large temple fair,” Li Fei Hua Yue said with some worry, looking at the tranquil silver moon in the sky. “But I received a message from Que Yu Xiang earlier, saying that the Hexagram family has basically sold out of food, and I'm afraid the people on the fourth floor won’t be able to hold on for much longer.”
......
Attracted not only by the explosion in the scrap metal district, but also by the pale and emaciated scrap metal district chief, Tie Nanzhe, who, with the help of his secretary Liu Tiaowu, struggled to reach the scrap metal square.
This evening, he converted the last of the district's funds into grain and distributed it to the children in the district. However, even after distributing the grain he had bought with all his own savings, it was still a drop in the ocean.
To be honest, the scrap metal district is now completely out of supplies. Tie Nanzhe himself hasn't eaten a single grain of rice in two days, and he's spending most of his time hunched over the district chief's desk, enduring his hunger.
Even so, after hearing the explosion in the scrap metal area, he still made his way there.
To his surprise, many residents of the scrap metal area had also come here.
What are you doing here?
"Oh dear, District Chief, didn't we just hear an explosion? We thought the Scrap Iron Temple was reopening today, and we wanted to see the iron-sparkling performance!"
"Screw, what are you thinking? Everyone's starving!"
"Yes, not only the food, look, even the scrap metal statues are gone now."
"Honestly, we still have some hope, don't we? Wrench, isn't that why you came here too?"
Yes, even in the poorest and most critical times, humanity will not give up its yearning for a better future. It's just that they no longer have an object of prayer—a scrap metal idol.
Were they abandoned? No, because there was more than one person in the scrapyard square.
Humans are strange creatures; they are both mortal enemies and competitors, but at the same time, they walk side by side and support each other.
The residents of the scrap metal district tacitly joined hands, including District Chief Tie Nanzhe and Liu Tiaowu, all gathered around the now empty scrap metal statue.
A circle surrounds the pedestal, but the statue isn't facing away from it; instead, it has its back to the empty pedestal...
Begin singing.
"We're not useless scrap metal!"
"Are we looking for parts for the future?"
......
So we really have to think of other ways? Di Xing took out Lei Xi's card and called out to Lei Xi in his heart. The next moment, Lei Xi's card spirit returned.
Di Xing had previously asked Lei Xi to do her best to make some preparations on the fifth floor, precisely because she was afraid of encountering the current situation, but this plan might not necessarily succeed.
