"Huh? Old Luffy, you brought these three people back? Just as they were about to walk in front of the two guards, the two guys who were patronizing and chatting noticed Luke and the others walking in.

"Hmph, you two, we've been walking in for so long, and we're almost on your face before you notice, if it were an enemy, you'd be dead by now, and you wouldn't even have scum left!" Luffy said angrily that it was not good for civilians to be responsible for security and security, it was too unprofessional.

But fortunately, the mercenaries' sights did not extend to this old mine that had existed many years ago, so they were relatively safe here for now.

"Hey, alright, old Luffy, you've said this thousands of times, and I don't see a mercenary come to such a place." The guard, who was told by Luffy, waved his hand indifferently, holding the gun in his hand and said.

"Cut, I brought these three people back, there's no problem, you two better have more snacks." Glancing at the man angrily, Luff led the three of Luke in.

After passing through another gate, Luke appeared in front of a place that looked like a small town, he had thought that it was a settlement, but for some reason, these people had all moved to live underground.

It's no wonder that the city above looks like a dead city, and at first glance it is lifeless.

And what Luffy said before, some people have become the same as Seran, without any expression, and can't speak, which is probably one of the reasons why it has become a 'dead city', and those mercenaries may be similar to what Luff said.

But after all, I didn't see what those mercenaries looked like just now, so Luke couldn't draw conclusions, this strange appearance was caused by many reasons, what kind of virus, genetic mutation and the like, in short, there were a lot of possibilities.

After following Luffy a few steps, he came to the door of a simple house made of iron sheets, Luffy pushed open the door and walked in, the room was very simple, a shabby but shiny metal table, a simple bed made of crates, and a shelf converted from a crate in the corner.

That's all there is to this humble house, "Are all the people in the city up there living here like this now?" "Earlier, Luffy said that Seran had changed since five years ago, so had they all lived here in this state for the past few years?

"No, not all of them, only a small part, most of them...... They've all become walking dead guys. Sighing, Luffy said with a sad face, "I'm sorry, I don't have anything good to entertain you here." ”

What Luffy brought was just a few glasses of water, but luckily the cups used to hold the water looked relatively clean, otherwise Luke would have hesitated to swallow it.

But even so, it's only Luke himself who picks it up and drinks it, and Agano and Congyun are the two of them, and they don't know how long they have been used for these two metal cups at a glance, well, let's just think of them as cups, if there are no canned labels on them.

"It's okay, can you tell me more about what's going on here? We're here to get an account from that guy from Seron, so we want to know more about what's going on here. "There is naturally nothing to hide about this kind of thing, and it is not something unsightly.

"Huh? Asking for an account? Oh, I guess it's from the Imperial Army, calculate the time, it's a bit strange that the Imperial Army hasn't come over to collect the account for so long, but now that guy Seron has been staying in his headquarters, surrounded by those mercenaries outside, and ordinary people can't get in at all. Luffy shook his head, he still knew a little bit about the Imperial Army coming to collect the debt.

After all, all the mining planets in the empire will have a certain amount of imperial army shares, which has already formed the same thing.

"Huh? Can't anyone get in? So no one has ever come here to buy materials? "Isn't it just to sell the minerals dug up by the mining planet, and if they are not sold, the ore dug up is just for the sake of it.

Luffy shook his head, "No, since five years ago, all the mines here in Serang, all the ore dug up has been piled up in the warehouse, and if it can't be piled up, it is directly placed outside the warehouse, and in some places it has been piled up as high as a mountain." ”

Oh? Is that so?

"And it's not like no one came to buy minerals or something, but most of those people, after being stopped by those mercenaries, left directly."

"Mostly? That is, a small part of it went in? Hearing Luffy's words, Luke asked curiously, what happened here, but it was directly related to whether he could receive the account, and if he couldn't receive the account, there would be no materials to take.

Especially here in Seron, it is still a place with the most debts, just this one planet, the amount of materials that need to be paid is already the sum of several other planets and mines, if you let go of this place, you will really lose a lot of materials.

"That's right, a small number of people were indeed put in by those mercenaries, but since those guys went in, they haven't come out again, and until now, the spaceship brought by those guys is still parked at the berth in Starport." Luffy said with a frown.

Seran's side, as well as those mercenaries, gave people a really weird feeling, so for so many years, they have not dared to act rashly, just to wait for the people of the Imperial Army to come and deal with the matter here, who knows that five years have passed, and what they are waiting for is not the regular Imperial Army, just a few people who came to collect the accounts instead of the Imperial Army.

Thinking of this, Luff couldn't help but feel a wave of despair in his heart, could it be that the planet of Seran was really going to continue like this forever?

No wonder, no wonder I saw a lot of spaceships that looked like they had been parked for a long time in the starport before, probably the ships of those guys who came here and never went back.

But why? Now that the planet of Seron has become this virtue, why haven't these people left here? Those spaceships in Starport should be easy to get out, right? If those guys in Starport hadn't stopped them, hadn't someone left here before? So why didn't Luffy and the others leave, but instead built such a hidden settlement in this underground mine?
