Runeterra is so much fun!

Chapter 100 98 - Deep into the Trench
Hearing Yuan Chen's inquiry, Ezreal nodded seriously and said, "I've asked many old trenchers, and there are six areas that meet your requirements."

"Ask what?"

Jael on the side looked very curious.

Obviously it was the first time I came here, but I had a clear purpose when I came up, and I even asked Ezreal here to inquire about the news in advance...

No matter how you think about it, there are hidden secrets behind this, and it is difficult for the adventurous Jael to control his exuberant curiosity.

"I don't know, you should ask him." Ezreal shrugged and said:

"I was still in the temple of Parosa at that time, and he not only cut off my loot, but also asked me to help find out what word-of-mouth dangerous areas are in the trenches of Zaun..."

"Uh……"

Hearing Ezreal's words, Jiaer looked at Yuanchen curiously.But Yuan Chen simply said: "An ancient weapon."

"Ancient weapon?!" Hearing Yuan Chen's words, Jiaer immediately became excited: "What kind of weapon? Is it powerful? No, it must be super powerful! Otherwise, you would not be here!"

After finishing speaking, there was a pause, and Jael said, "I won't report on you, but please let me participate in the excavation work! Please! Even just this time!!"

Gael clasped his hands together, his eyes filled with desire to unearth ancient treasures.In this regard, Ezreal is not surprised——

Although I don't know why, Jarl's love has provided Ezreal with a lot of expedition funds.

Including the first time I went to the Shurima Desert, it was also the support provided by this benefactor.

It is precisely because of their own experience of going down to the pit to explore together that Jael and Ezreal appear here at the same time.

"no problem."

Yuan Chen shrugged his shoulders, not worried that Jiaer would report...

If they did, it would be Zaun and Piltover who would suffer.

Yuan Chen's answer made Jia Er feel particularly excited.On the side, Xiao Huangmao directly handed over the map of Zaan.

The map is folded, and in addition to the flat map, there is also a map of the clipping surface.

The Twin Cities range from high to low, top to bottom, from the highest level of Piltover to the lowest level of Zaun.

The highest level of Piltover: Blue Smoked Manor - the seat of most families in Piltover, also known as the rich area.

Middle level of Piltover: Piltover University, Hextech Workshop, Trading Post - where senior Hextech engineers like Jess live and work

The lower level of Piltover is also the uppermost level of Zaun: the dance step corridor.

Middle layer of Zaun: central square, alchemy factory, smuggling area.

And Zaun's lowest layer - the trench.

"The place we are going to is the trench." Ezreal pointed to the area where the skull head was drawn at the bottom of the cut surface of the twin cities:
"It's dangerous here, you should know it."

"All the industrial wastewater and alchemy waste in Piltover and Zaun will be discharged into the gutter. It may be nothing at first, but now, even professionals with adequate protection are dangerous to go in."

After saying that, after a pause, Ezreal said strangely:

"The air there has different toxicity depending on the region, which may be the reason why many Zaun laborers don't live to be 40 years old..."

Hearing this, Yuan Chen glanced at the map and asked, "Where is the activity area of ​​the bell mouse?"

"Ring rats? What do you want them for?"

Hearing this, Ezreal seemed a little surprised, then shrugged his shoulders and said, "Well, I shouldn't ask more...but rattles are hard to deal with, and only some old miners know how to contact them."

Although the bell rat sounds like a type of trench rat, it is actually a type of vastaya.

A family member of Twitch, the source of the plague.

Bell rats live in the trench area. The first Zaun miners who discovered the bell rats thought they were gentle and simple creatures, coupled with their natural resistance to alchemy gas, so they trained the rats to enter deeper trenches for maintenance. Pipes and circuits.

The bell rats did not disappoint the people of Zaun. They had far more intuition and keenness about machinery than ordinary beasts. Not only could they undertake the duties of maintenance workers, they could even assemble special combat machines from the alchemy waste in the trench area.

Now, in the trenches, the Bell Rats have grown from beasts to a gang that cannot be ignored.

"Do you want to go down?" Jia Er, who was on the side, said after hearing Yuan Chen and Ezreal's words:

"My family's factory has a private Hex pressure transport plane, which can directly reach the trench area."

Following Jiaer to the factory of the Mirdal family, Yuan Chen and others entered the prototype pressure transport plane and quickly reached the lowest ditch.

The so-called pressure conveyor is actually a super-large elevator—it just uses Hex crystal as the power source.This thing is divided into public and private.

The common one is also called "screaming", and the name comes from many sources, for example, there is a lone wolf made of iron on the top of the press, howling with its head up.

For example, someone said they saw a black-veiled attendant haunting the cabin, and whenever he took the elevator away from Zaun and his lover, he would start to cry.

Or more simply, the cold wind blowing continuously in the Great Rift Valley below the city, and the acceleration of the up and down speed and the violent friction with the air, etc...

There are many legends, and according to the nature of Runeterra, many legends may have corresponding existences.However, Yuan Chen did not come here this time to explore these urban legends, but to find the Darkborn Harp.

In the face of the importance of the darkin harp, these innocuous urban legends are not worth mentioning at all.

Compared with public transport aircraft, private ones are not only comfortable, but also faster and more stable.

When the group left the transport plane, Yuan Chen, Qiyana and the others had already put on new clothes. This was the isolation suit provided by Jael—it can effectively isolate from breathing to contact.

Walking out of the factory, Qiyana couldn't help but hold her breath at the sight that greeted her.

Smog... No, it's not pure smog, but a lot of alchemy waste gas.

Under the dim light of the factory, the thick smog showed a strange gray-green color.Although she didn't come into contact with it personally, Qiyana was able to clearly understand how bad the air here is through her perception of the elements.

But even in such a harsh area, the streets are still full of hurried pedestrians.Through the attire of these pedestrians, Qiyana can clearly distinguish which are the aborigines and which are the people from the upper city and traders even when they come here for the first time.

The locals tended to wear old, torn hazmat suits with crude breathing filters... which weren't even hazmat suits at all, as Qiyana saw many people just walking through the streets in unlined clothing.

And the people of Piltover and traders wore a full set of protective clothing similar to theirs——

Of course, not everyone is as rich and powerful as the Mirdal family and always has such a full set of protective clothing.Many people who come to the trench occasionally wear disposable protective clothing.

"When they leave here, these used disposable protective clothing will be unpacked into different protective equipment and sold to civilians in the trench area at a low price."

Yuan Chen explained to Qiyana while scanning the street in front of him:

"Although it is a used disposable product, it is better for the civilians in the gutter area than the crude breathing filter they use... Well, you should be able to feel that most of what they use has been It's been used many times."

Hearing this, Qiyana also nodded thoughtfully.

As Yuan Chen said, the protective equipment used by the workers in the trench area is often patchwork.From protective clothing to breathing filters, sometimes different brands are used.Depending on the finish, it's hard to believe how much protection it offers on its own.

As for those breathing filters... I don't know how many people have used them.

"They work here to make money for the people above, but in the end they can't even guarantee their own safety... It's really ridiculous." Qiyana shook her head in disgust.

"The capital is like this." Yuan Chen shook his head.Then he seemed to remember something, glanced at Qiyana strangely and said:

"However, as the crown prince, enjoying all the benefits of feudal autocracy... You don't seem to have much qualifications to criticize capitalism."

"What feudal capital?" Hearing Yuan Chen's words, Qiyana glanced at Yuan Chen suspiciously: "What are you talking about?"

"It's nothing, it's just a casual mention, it's an old problem."

Although Qiyana was puzzled by Yuan Chen's explanation, she wasn't surprised—she was used to Yuan Chen's disconnection and self-entertainment from time to time.

If you don't have any mental problems, you can't be a good prophet.

Although it is a trench area, everyone's destination will continue to go down, reaching the bottom where almost no one exists.

Did not leave hastily, Yuan Chen and his party just stopped after they came to the ditch.A moment later, the trench guide that Jiaer had found through the factory supervisor appeared in front of Yuan Chen and the others.

"Meet you again." Seeing who came, Yuan Chen was also happy.

Probably out of consideration for Jael's status, the director of the factory specially arranged a new protective suit for the guide in the trench area.But even in the case of wearing protective clothing, Yuan Chen still recognized who the little old man in front of him was.

Hulett - the mine foreman who was haunted by Malphite before.

But if Yuan Chen remembers correctly, the mining area at that time should be the property of the Philos family where Camille was located.

Why has this guy become the Mirdal family's trench guide after only a few days of absence? ——
In order to refresh the code, I drank coffee and tea together... I drank a little too much for a while, and now the acid-base imbalance makes my buddies feel a little palpitation emmm.

I just boiled a pot of water, when the water is cold, drink more water to metabolize...
