Starry Sky Railway: Twin Origins

Chapter 30 Places Where Sunlight Cannot Reach

"Star, wake up! The antimatter legion is attacking!"

In the darkness, Xing heard a familiar voice calling her name.

Upon hearing the words "Antimatter Legion," Xing tried to open her eyes, but the glaring light made them feel uncomfortable.

But she forced herself to get out of bed, grabbed her baseball bat, and assumed a fighting stance, shouting:

"Where? Where is the antimatter legion?"

As soon as she finished speaking, an unfamiliar voice entered Xing's ears.

"I feel relieved to see you so energetic."

Natasha crossed her arms and smiled as she looked at Xing, who was standing on the hospital bed, holding a baseball bat and posing for a fight.

"It seems that the hypnotic gases in the body have been completely expelled."

Hearing this, Xing rubbed her eyes in confusion. After she saw everything around her clearly, she couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

He saw a beautiful, unfamiliar woman looking up at him, while Sambo, standing beside her, covered his mouth and chuckled with amusement.

At that moment, Lin Qiong's voice came from the side.

"Are you awake yet? If you are, put your weapon away right now."

Xing looked in the direction of the sound and saw Lin Qiong sitting on the bed next to her, smiling at her.

"I have driven the antimatter army away."

Xing immediately realized that the familiar voice she had just heard was from Lin Qiong.

Xing awkwardly put away her weapon and glared at Lin Qiong with a hint of anger.

Ignoring Xing Tu's gaze, Lin Qiong changed the subject and asked Sang Bo, "Hey! Sang Bo, where are my two companions?"

Sambo, who was suddenly called out, paused for a moment, thought for a moment, and then spread his hands and said:

“They woke up relatively early, and seeing that you two were still unconscious, they went outside first. I don’t know where they went.”

"Why don't you go look outside?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Qiong nodded, then thought to himself: If it's the same as the game's plot, March 7th should be playing with the children, and Dan Heng should be in the fighting club in Panyan Town.

Thinking of this, Lin Qiong called out to Xing beside him, "Let's go, let's go outside and look for March 7 and the others."

"Oh, I forgot to mention." Just as Lin Qiong was about to leave Natasha's clinic, he said, "Ms. Natasha, thank you again for your willingness to help us."

Lin Qiong bowed slightly to Natasha, who had helped them, to express his gratitude.

Natasha waved her hand and replied with a smile, "Healing and saving lives is a doctor's duty, and it's what I should do."

After saying that, Natasha took out a few bottles of drinks from a box next to her and handed them to Lin Qiong: "These are energy drinks that I mixed myself. They can quickly restore your strength."

"This isn't right..." Lin Qiong scratched his head, embarrassed to take the drink from Natasha's hand. "You've already helped us enough, and now you're giving us gifts too."

Seeing Lin Qiong's embarrassed expression, Natasha covered her mouth and smiled, "It's okay, just consider it as doing me a small favor."

"Ask Oleg for details; he's the leader of 'Earthfire.'"

Upon hearing the name "Earthfire," Xing asked Natasha curiously, "What is Earthfire?"

“Hmm… how should I explain this to you?” Natasha tilted her head, unconsciously pressing her index finger against her cheek. “Just think of them as the Silvermane Iron Guards underground, but with a bit more humanity.”

Seeing that Xing nodded in agreement, Lin Qiong took the bottles of energy drinks from Natasha and said:

"Alright, we'll go see Oleg once we find our companions."

After agreeing to Natasha's request, Lin Qiong said goodbye to Natasha with Xing and then walked out of the clinic.

After the two left the clinic, Natasha turned to look at Sambo standing to the side.

"Sambo, what do you plan to do with that little girl you brought down from the upper district?"

Upon hearing Natasha's question, Sambo shrugged and casually replied, "What else can we do? Find an opportunity to bring her back..."

Before he could finish speaking, Natasha stared at Sambo with a suspicious look and said, "I really don't know what you're thinking. You want to get involved in this mess in the Upper District?"

"Are you only satisfied when you're being targeted by both 'Earthfire' and the Silvermane Iron Guards at the same time?"

“Oh, boss…” Sambo put on an innocent look. “You know me, I, Sambo, always take care of my friends.”

"Those people helped me, I should at least repay their kindness, right?"

Sambo paused, then continued, "Actually, I didn't intend to bring that girl from the upper level down, but the smoke was so thick that I was dazed and confused, so I just brought her down..."

“Sigh…” Natasha sighed softly, shook her head and said, “That little girl… you’d better find her quickly.”

"The underground has been sealed off for decades. If a girl dressed as a Silver Mane Iron Guard suddenly appears, what will others think?"

Upon hearing this, Sambo immediately made his signature move, rubbing his palms together repeatedly, and said to Natasha with a fawning expression:

"Hehe, boss, I know all that. I'll go find her right now..."

"At that time, I'll have to trouble you, boss, to take care of this 'guest'."

After saying that, Sambo, who had been grinning, immediately put on a serious face and walked out of the clinic.

After Sambo left, Natasha sighed softly, looking at the clinic's door and muttering to herself, "The lower district... is something about to change?"

Lower-level area, Panyan Town.

Lin Qiong and Xing arrived outside Natasha's clinic.

Feeling a slight chill as they experienced the absence of warmth from the heaters around them.

Despite being blessed with the "pioneering" spirit, the two could feel a chill emanating from their very core as they gazed upon the scene before them.

Unlike the bright, warm, and prosperous Belobelloburg, the environment here can only be described as dark, cold, and impoverished.

The uneven ground, the streetlights that couldn't illuminate the road, the rusty houses, and the mining carts and ore lying haphazardly by the roadside.

Despite being in this environment, the people on the street were filled with hope for the future.

Just then, the sound of children's laughter suddenly came from not far away. Lin Qiong and Xing looked in the direction of the sound.

March 7th was surrounded by a group of children, chatting and laughing.

The two exchanged a glance, then headed towards the direction of March 7th.
