In order to prevent the space-time structure of "producing special minerals" from being affected, the "Solar System Reclamation Corps" established an "isolation zone" here, which is nominally an "abandoned mining area" and is controlled by the Omnic Corps directly under the jurisdiction of "Wildfire".
However, due to the separation of information between the colonists and the indigenous people, some uninformed people mistakenly thought that this place was deserted and used it as a base or supply point. There were rebels, criminal gangs under the banner of the rebels, smugglers, and others.
There are sporadic fugitives, homeless people, etc., who want to take advantage of the complex terrain and environment here to give themselves a chance to breathe.
However, these people are all under the supervision of the "Reclamation Corps".
To say that "playing a long game to catch the big fish" is not considered. At this stage, the indigenous people of the earth do not deserve too much attention from members of the "reclamation team" such as "Wildfire". They just keep the original inhabitants of the colony basically active, similar to the catfish effect——
After all, the earth is the only living planet in the isolated island star field that is currently being explored. If you don't register it, that's it. If you really want to register it, you should try to keep it as original as possible to avoid not being able to sell it at a high price in the end.
After all, human beings are still forgetful. They only think that the terrain here is complicated and easy to hide, but they don't remember that several crops have been harvested here in the past forty years.
Today, it’s another one.
But we can’t blame people for not having long memories. In fact, many people have no time to form memories, and they are crushed by the turbulent years.
Only a relatively detached person like "New Wildfire" would have such an understanding.
So Ronan also knew that this place was also the area where he had been most active since he was separated from the "Old Wildfire". It was far away from the location of the "Gate to Rebirth" in "Local Time and Space", just like a shadow.
It is the volcanic area southwest of Spring City.
Of course, only people like Ronan, who straddles both the inside and outside of the "Tattered God's Cloak", can clearly understand this correspondence.
But even Ronan couldn't figure out for a while what was the "form" and what was the "shadow".
"New Wildfire" will not have this kind of confusion, but since he has been active in this area for a long time, he will not behave and abide by the rules.
He was born from the great tear of "Wildfire", and the ultimate meaning of his existence is to devour and replace the "Old Wildfire". This is destined that he and the "Old Wildfire" are at odds with each other, and only one of them can exist.
.Anything that adds trouble to the "Old Wildfire", he is willing to do.
What's more, in the three years since he split, he has been short of resources. At the time when he was at his weakest, the foundation of the "Uploader" and the storage cloud have not been built, and the corresponding equipment and resources have been colonized by the "Solar System Reclamation Group"
The team is firmly in control and keeps a low profile, not knowing how long it will take until the Year of the Monkey is over.
Therefore, the resistance organizations and smuggling groups in the "Abandoned Mining Area" in recent years have been secretly influenced by the "New Wildfire". The more chaotic this place is, the more necessary it is for the colonial team headed by the "Old Wildfire" to come here
By throwing away resources, he has the possibility of profiting from chaos.
In fact, tonight's drama has his influence in it.
Of course, his biggest reliance at this stage is the unilateral information barrier formed after the "wave of light" was torn apart, and the "old...

"Wildfire" is not aware of his existence... at least not 100% sure, and he is very careful to maintain this advantage.
This is very skillful.
Unfortunately, he is still in a weak stage, and three years is too short. Many means are limited, and some things have to be done by himself.
The chase in the corridor of the abandoned mining area is still going on. Those who have established a forward headquarters on the edge of the mine are the anti-riot teams from surrounding cities. They take orders from the local forces supported by the "Solar System Reclamation Corps" and show no mercy to various resistance organizations. They discover a
To destroy one, it also maintains a high-pressure stance on criminal gangs that smuggle "Class A items".
It's just that in the past three years, it has become increasingly difficult to do this. Tonight is a rare opportunity, and it is required by the superiors, so I must make a show of it.
With a large number of unmanned inspections and attack equipment in place, riot control teams began to pour into the mine tunnels in large numbers.
Of course, the two people who "live" in the abandoned mining area are not just the two who just escaped, but in this case, it can only be whoever encounters the other who is unlucky.
This is exactly the situation "New Wildfire" hopes for.
All the actions of "New Wildfire" are obviously caused by the "wave of light" that shattered and torn apart.
As for the "wave light" Ronan suspected was the "white rainbow" that His Majesty the Emperor Wu had "nurtured" in Zhang Yingying's body, that was just a suspicion.
And this result is also suspected to be the design of His Majesty Emperor Wu. With this guy lying across the "isolated zone of the abandoned mining area", the suspicion and exploration of this area by the "Solar System Reclamation Group" will inevitably be disturbed. From this point of view, Wu
His Majesty may not know everything about this place...
Maybe it came from the "escapees" from "District 13".
But from now on, Ronan will definitely seize the first position to gain the balance of power and even advantage in negotiating with her.
According to the dream memory information collected by Ronan, at this stage, it is almost time for "New Wildfire" to take action.
Ronan thought about it and decided not to overstep his authority.
The lizard's tail swung, and the power of the soul that came over converged, like a dream that dissipated like bubbles, and retreated into the background; at the same time, the will of "New Wildfire", which had been deeply affected by the "Chain of the Sun",
But the self-will that is still unconscious of itself wakes up from the chaotic dream.
He was completely unaware of the will that controlled his body just now. As for the situation from the previous hidden shelter to the open area, he naturally ignored it and regarded it as his own doing. Of course, he would never stay here for a long time.
In a dangerous environment, I roughly sorted out my memory and assessed the location of the two "fugitives" who had escaped into the mine tunnel earlier. They quickly got back into the complicated mine tunnel and passed through the preset route.
Although it is only a half-meter-long lizard, the moving speed of "New Wildfire" is beyond the normal range after it leaves the monitoring range of the instrument, and he
He was extremely familiar with the surrounding environment, and within about three minutes, he arrived first and got in front of the two fleeing men.
During this process, the lizard's half-meter-long body began to stretch and swell, and its scales and face also retracted. After some detailed modifications, it turned into a middle-aged man of small stature and slightly dark complexion.
He stopped at a fork in the passage, caught the sound of the fast approach, and guessed the right moment. He suddenly stepped out, raised his foot, and kicked the waist of one of the people who was breathing heavily as he passed the fork.
This kick was powerful and accurate. The man who was running away did not expect such a change at all. He lost his balance and knocked down his companion. The two of them fell into a gourd on the ground, with the head on their head.
The simple night vision device was crooked, and even the self-defense firearm in his hand was thrown away. When the man who was kicked was still groping to pick up the gun, his forehead was already pressed against the barrel of his own gun:
"Where are you running?"
The one who was kicked reflexively raised his hands in a gesture of surrender. The other person who was knocked down wanted to jump up and fight back, but he recognized the blurry figure in the night vision device and blurted out:
"teacher?"
This "teacher" is not the other "teacher" because this short, thin black man's surname is Shi. The team calls him "Lao Shi", which makes it easy for them to call him "Lao Shi", so they just mix it up with "Lao Shi" and "teacher", and the new ones join later.
The fact that he followed the nonsense also proves that this person is quite senior and has a high status in the team.
Well, a gang like them that smuggles "Class A resources", that is, "scrapped omnipotence", can survive for three years without being sent to jail or shot by the urban violent agencies and consortiums. It can indeed be said to be a veteran.
.
"Old Shi", the incarnation of "New Wildfire", poked the man in the head with his gun and kicked him again:
"Let me ask you, where are you running?"
"Five... Pit No. 5." The man was still breathing hard after being kicked, and he had a gun pressed against his head. He was confused and couldn't answer anything.
But the other companion also knew how to explain: "Teacher, there is a riot squad behind us. We managed to escape here..."
"So you are just going to destroy our factory with a riot squad of several hundred people behind you?"
"Hundreds of people?!"
Both of them were confused. They were only focused on escaping for their lives. How could they know the big scene behind them.
"Silly! Silly!"
Lao Shi kicked each of them again, then pointed his gun and gave orders: "Turn left, go to the high temperature area!"
"I...we don't have any equipment."
"I'm not wearing one either." Lao Shi responded matter-of-factly, "We'll find a solution when we get there."
Under Lao Shi's strong request, especially at gunpoint, the two fugitives had to turn left as he wanted. The route obviously went all the way down. As they moved forward, they clearly felt that the temperature in the corridor was rising.
The area was even flashing with a dark red light, obviously burning. In this environment, night vision devices were not easy to use, so we had to rely on strong flashlights for illumination.

This was originally a volcanic area, but later the "Solar System Reclamation Group" turned it into a "probe-type" gold mine, which continuously stimulated the earth's crust and caused magma to rise, resulting in a more complex terrain structure. After a part of the magma rises, it is difficult to fall back.
Large and small, irregularly distributed shallow magma chambers are formed here.
Some of these magma chambers cooled quickly after being separated from the main body, but some of them remained lava tubes connected to the earth's crust and mantle. Stimulated by geothermal heat and affected by unstable space-time environments, they are still high-temperature and hot, and will change due to geological conditions.
Activities or large mechanical vibrations can cause fragile rock formations to crack and suddenly overflow.
When the gold mine was still being mined and operated, casualties occurred many times because of this environment.
Later, the gold mine was abandoned, and it was the turn of the rebels and smuggling teams who were active here to be unlucky.
However, when escaping from pursuit, high-temperature areas are a very good cover. Whether it is a city riot squad or a consortium or private army, everyone is paid to support their families. On weekdays, "anti-violence" is possible, but "safe and sound" is not necessarily the case.
, no one is nobler than anyone else, and no one wants to throw their lives here. When encountering this kind of situation, they will usually retreat.
Therefore, Lao Shi's instructions are correct in theory. As long as you are determined, you can probably get rid of the riot squad.
But something was wrong today. The riot squad seemed to have transformed into vicious dogs, chasing after us to the death.
The three of them had been forced into a dangerous area that they would never reach normally. Due to the lack of protective equipment, it felt like the soles of their feet were melting, and there were many burns on their bodies. The most uncomfortable thing was the burning sensation like being in an oven.
It seemed like he might fall to the ground and turn into a mummy in the next second.
"No, take a detour!" The man who was kicked earlier stopped. Here is a fork, and there is a fork that can quickly escape from the high temperature area. At this time, even if Lao Shi's gun is behind him, he will not leave.
"Even if I go back! I'm just reselling goods A, I won't necessarily be shot if I'm taken back, but if I go forward..."
"You have a life on your hands!" his companion who escaped with him advised him.
"You will definitely die if you go any further..."
Before he finished speaking, he was shot in the back of the head and fell to his knees.
"Lao Shi you!"
"Don't delay, let's go!"
Amidst the dull echoing gunshots, Lao Shi signaled the other unlucky guy to continue moving forward.
But at this time, both of them heard the sound of a suspected self-propelled machine rubbing against the cliff wall of the corridor. Lao Shi turned to look. At this moment, the only remaining fugitive was short, and he was on the hot rocky ground several times in a row.
It rolled and crashed into the fork in the side and front, rolling and crawling, running wildly.
Lao Shi curled his lips, fired a symbolic shot in that direction, ignored it, and continued to move forward along the determined route.
At this time, the entire "abandoned mining area" was boiling because of the three of them, because of the two gunshots, and of course because of the large-scale influx of riot squads.
