Legends of Runeterra

Chapter 36 Girl's Adventure

"Caitlin, will you just let me go?"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"I know Zaun is dangerous..."

"Ouch! Our Miss Liwek also knows the danger! And you still want to sneak to Zaun alone? A little sheep like you will probably be eaten by the people of Zaun!"

On the edge of Piltover, near the elevator to Zaun, two girls were communicating.

The elegant blue-haired girl had her hands on her hips, her pretty face filled with anger. The blonde girl standing opposite her shrank her shoulders like a frightened little rabbit, and faced her questioning obediently.

"I just want to help them..."

"The alchemical pipeline exploded, right? Ever since you read that newspaper a week ago, you've been distracted in class! But so what? The chem-barons in Zaun didn't take any action, but you, a little girl from Piltover, took the initiative to deliver it? Do you know how dangerous the leaked alchemical gas is?"

"I have a mask with a filter..." Orianna took out a mask from the big bag behind her. "Please, Caitlyn, let me try. Zaun and Piltover shouldn't be like this. I want to help them!"

Orianna covered her chest with the pendant, which was the relic her mother left her before she died - the Blue Bird Janna Pendant.

While tracing the origin of the pendant, she made her best friend, Caitlin Gilaman, and with her help, she learned about the history of the past - the older past of the Twin Cities, and also became a believer of Janna.

Orianna, who is usually as weak as a little rabbit, has such a firm and dazzling look at this moment.

Caitlyn, who also knew that history but was currently unable to regard Zaun as one, felt a vague sense of shame in her heart.

"Oh, there's really nothing we can do about you!"

"Then you agree!"

"Yes! But the prerequisite is that you must go with me!"

"But I...I'm afraid you'll get hurt. After all, Zaan is really dangerous!"

"Don't worry, I'm the champion of the Piltover Hunting Competition! And I brought my weapons with me today!"

Caitlin said, patting the long box on her back.

...

After some preparation, the two took the elevator and arrived in Zaan smoothly.

Even though the two of them deliberately changed into Zaun-style clothes, their outstanding appearance and temperament still attracted the attention of the people nearby.

"Ahem, Kai...Caitlin..."

The unpleasant air made Orianna cough a few times. She called her friend's name in a low voice and took a few steps closer to her.

"Don't worry, I'm here!"

Caitlin stood in front of her friend to block the malicious gazes, and at the same time opened the box behind her, revealing a latest model of high-tech spear.

It has both single-shot and continuous-fire modes, a magazine capacity of 100 rounds, and is powerful enough to penetrate a 5-cm thick steel plate.

Seeing this powerful weapon, the people around quickly turned their gaze away and went about their own business.

"Look, that's it!"

"Mmmmm! Caitlin is amazing!"

"Okay, stop flattering me. Where's the map? Let's go over there and take a look!"

Caitlin reached out and tapped Orianna lightly, and she quickly took out the map.

The two studied the map for a while, put on filter masks, and rushed to the place where the poison gas was leaking.

-----------------

The disaster-stricken area was horrifying. The explosion caused many pipes to be damaged. Even though a few main pipes were hastily repaired, there were still many small pipes that kept spewing out pale green alchemical exhaust gas.

Although it is called a small pipe, its actual size is as thick as an average person's waist.

The streets were still littered with rubble, and the Zaun people walked in the poisonous fog, with their faces covered with nothing more than a piece of oily rag.

"This...how could this happen..."

Seeing such a tragic scene, Orianna's tears instantly filled her eyes. She felt so sad that the toolbox she was planning to use to repair the pipe fell to the ground.

Until she saw it with her own eyes, she had thought it was a gas leak, almost like the leak in her father's old water pipe.

Who knew it would be like this, the poisonous gas in the sky blocked out the sunlight, and one could even see motionless bodies on the roadside.

Caitlin also felt a chill down her spine, and she slightly exerted force on the hand holding the gun handle.

"Wow~!"

Orianna opened the big bag on her back, which was full of filter masks.

"Hello...hello! There are a lot of filtering masks here. Please come and get them if you need them!" The girl's voice trembled slightly, and it was obviously the first time she did this.

But the people around just turned their heads to look and then went on with their business.

"No money!" Caitlin shouted from the side.

"Yes! It's free, this is for everyone!"

As soon as the words fell, pedestrians immediately gathered around as if a switch had been triggered.

"You really don't need money?"

"Give me one!"

"I want three!"

As these people spoke, they reached out and wanted to take it directly.

"Stop!" Caitlin raised her gun slightly and shouted coldly, "One per person, line up and receive them!"

Seeing the weapon in the girl's hand, everyone lined up obediently. Of course, there were disputes in order to get ahead. However, with Caitlin's maintenance, everyone reached a consensus.

As the filter masks were distributed, Orianna's sadness temporarily subsided.

Watching everyone put on the masks they had prepared, the coughing sounds around them gradually decreased, and frowns relaxed. Orianna felt happier than when her work was evaluated by the teacher.

After the masks were distributed, Orianna breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Caitlin and said sincerely: "Thank you, Caitlin, if it weren't for you, these masks wouldn't have been distributed to everyone!"

"It's all your own hard work, Orianna!"

Caitlin looked at the girl in front of her with sweat on her forehead and breathing slightly, and she felt only admiration for her.

"Okay, that's all for today. Let's come back another day!"

Orianna looked around and finally nodded. She would definitely buy more filter masks next time. She still had a lot in her little treasury!

As the two were about to leave, a little boy ran over in a panic.

"Eh? What happened to the kid who was almost cut in line just now?"

"Plop~!"

The little boy fell to his knees and cried, "My brother has been poisoned and is unconscious. Please, please save him!"

"Don't cry, don't cry, talk slowly, I will definitely help you!"

Orianna didn't care about the other person's dirty appearance at all and pulled his arm to help him up.

"Wow, he was fine this morning. When I got back just now, I found him fainted on the ground. No matter how I called him, he wouldn't wake up. Please, help him!"

Hearing the boy's cry, Orianna looked at her friend pitifully: "Caitlin..."

"You...Okay, just this once!"

"Yeah! Caitlin is the best!"

Orianna gave her friend a gentle hug.

Led by the boy, the two went to each other's homes.
