Chapter 53
The situation in the residential area is a little better than that in the trading market. Since the materials of the houses are basically stone, the fire has not spread like the outside, but it is only a little better.

The hatred accumulated during the weekdays has completely exploded today. The oppressed miners are like a powder keg, and today's turmoil is like a spark, detonating the powder keg. Therefore, the group with the largest number of people on the entire Stewart Island followed the inner impulse and released all their anger.

The corpses of miners, merchants, and guards were lying on their backs everywhere, blood mixed together, and perhaps only at this time, they were not separated from each other.

In addition, Sauer also saw two polluted miners. One of them had a huge head, which looked like a gourd at first glance. The miner's hands turned into tentacles with suction cups, and a poor man was wrapped around one of the left and right tentacles. The mouth of the other polluted miner protruded like a crocodile.

"I... we'd better... run first..." The voice of the guard beside him was trembling, and he hid behind Saul with cold sweat dripping from his forehead.

Saul was about to answer, but he felt the air in front of him suddenly expand, and then, a group of flames shaped like mushrooms rose into the sky, and heat waves rolled from the front.

Deeper in the residential area is the pass leading to the garrison of the army stationed on the island. Before, Sauer observed from the slope, and the guards there were tighter, and there were guard towers on both sides.

"That's... a mechanism set up by the spirit stone scholar." The guard exclaimed.

The organ of the spirit stone scholar?

Sauer recalled the ugly face of the psychic stone scholar, and then thought of the identity of the psychic stone scholar, an alchemist. Suddenly, he understood that the mechanism in front of him was the masterpiece of alchemy.

Now outside the trading market, trading market, and residential areas are not safe. Some remote locations can indeed hide, but it is not a long-term solution, and it is very prone to accidents. At present, it is safer to go to the garrison of the island corps, and if my previous speculation is correct, then it means that there are other people who cooperate with Regis.

Thinking of this, Saul said:
"We used to stay here. It's too dangerous. Only the station is safe now."

Perhaps to verify his words, the miners who came back here appeared in the distance behind. After seeing the eye-catching light armor on the guards, they immediately rushed over with picks.

Saul took the lead and ran, Garland and the guards followed behind him.

When running past the corpse, Sauer deliberately avoided the vicinity of the polluted miners. Although he could resist the pollution, the two people around him might not be able to.

At this time, at the pass in front of the station, the inspector and commander were observing the situation of the pass.

"Duncan, why didn't you let me quell this riot?" The commander looked puzzled. With his command ability and the number of soldiers stationed, it was extremely easy to suppress the miners, while the pollution was left to the inspectors. It can be said that half of the reason why the trading market was destroyed to such an extent was due to deliberate laissez-faire.

The inspector's eyes were solemn, looking at the burning man who was fleeing around the pass, and there was no mercy in his eyes.

"Haval, you saw the banknotes on the beach, didn't you? If the cargo ship can't arrive on time, we can only use the Stewart to leave. At that time, only a small number of people in the station will be able to leave. What do you think will happen then?"

He didn't explain things too clearly.

After the commander heard it, his gaze became deep. It's not that he didn't think of this, but his lack of understanding of the mysterious power made him misjudge the current form.

If the cargo ship cannot arrive, then most of the guards, most of the merchants, and almost all of the miners will be left on the island, and the supplies on the island can only last for another month. However, when the Stewart leaves, it will definitely take a lot of supplies. This also means that those who stay on the island will think about what they should eat tomorrow in less than half a month. Sea fish, birds, or bipedal creatures that can be seen everywhere on the island...

Since you will die sooner or later, it is better to die more now.

This is what the inspector never said.

"It is estimated that the person who created this riot did not expect that he was helping us." The commander put away the trace of pity in his heart, and his soft eyes gradually became cold.

"No, this matter is not that simple." The inspector shook his head, "Pollution is spreading faster than I imagined. I can smell the pollution in the air." As he spoke, he looked up at the sky in the distance. The black mist rising from the mine had already covered the island.

At this time, a guard ran from the pass, stopped in front of the commander and the inspector, saluted, and said loudly, "There are people outside the door who want to come in."

"Who?" The commander asked, frowning slightly. According to the order, the pass is no longer allowed.

"It's Sauer's guard." The guard replied, "He said he has something important to report."

"Let him in," the inspector said.

……

Sauer dealt with the last miner who rushed over. He suffered a slight injury to his shoulder, but it didn't bother him.

Garland was lucky, but his face was not very good due to previous injuries.

As for the guards who followed the two of them, when facing the rioting miners, they were terrified for some reason and hid in the corner trembling non-stop. Instead of providing any help, it hurt the morale of the two of them.

I knew I wouldn't take him with me...

Shaoer thought to himself, but it is outrageous to drive the other party away now.

As the gate of the pass slowly opened, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The three walked into the gate together, and then, led by the guards leading the way, came to the inspector and the commander.

"Reggis." Saul cut straight to the point, "Reggis is related to this riot, arresting him should answer many questions."

"Reggis..." The name reminded the inspector of something, "... Saul, I remember that he was imprisoned with you at the time, he seems to be your...friend?" He paused, "Sauer, I trust you very much, but does this matter have something to do with you?"

Saul was about to answer, but for some reason, the guard who had been following him grabbed his shoulders and kept trembling. Although he had already arrived at the station, he seemed to be more scared than before.

He took a few steps to the side, avoiding the guard.

After walking a few steps, he noticed that the inspector's face suddenly became extremely solemn, but what was even more strange was that his eyes were not on him. At this time, the object of the inspector's eyes was the guard he was walking away from.

When he realized this, he suddenly turned his head and looked at the guard beside him.

On the guard's terrified face, five very obvious gaps appeared. The five gaps divided the entire face into five equal parts. Then, the facial muscles at the gaps seemed to come alive, and began to roll up and down.
