Chapter 644: Chapter 309: X-Town

Hong Yi supported the sluggish Maya, "You go lie down on the sickbed, I’ll go check out the situation."

Hong Yi walked through the carriage and reached the flatbed carriage, only to see Lin Wu walking towards her with Wai from a hundred meters away. Hong Yi jumped off the carriage to greet them.

After meeting, Lin Wu asked, "Is Shuihua dead?"

Hong Yi nodded and asked, "Are you injured?"

"Self-healing injury." Lin Wu handed a night vision device to Hong Yi, "Besides two broken guns, this is all there is."

Hong Yi hummed in acknowledgment as she took the night vision device, walked to the flatbed carriage, and pulled Lin Wu’s clothes, "Sit for a while."

"Okay." Lin Wu sat down next to Hong Yi.

The two of them sat in silence for a while until Hong Yi, with her hands on Lin Wu’s right shoulder, buried her head on his shoulder and cried, "I’m very sad."

Lin Wu asked, "Sad about what? Afraid you won’t see Shuihua after a year?"

Hong Yi let go of Lin Wu and looked at him, "You... you can’t say that."

Lin Wu said, "I know, it’s the departure, the leaving of a friend, that brings a bit of melancholy."

How to put it? To say it was sadness didn’t quite fit since after all, it was just a game, and if one had the heart, they would eventually meet again. But until Lin Wu spoke, Hong Yi was immersed in the grief of a good friend’s death. Thus, an annoyed Hong Yi punched Lin Wu’s arm and rested her chin on her hand, deep in thought.

"What’s up?"

Hong Yi said, "I’m trying to figure out what emotion I should hold. I shouldn’t be sad or sorrowful about parting with a friend for a year. But as a couple, Qinglang must be very sad, he has to be separated from Shuihua for a year, and if a friend is sad, I should be sad too."

"But as a couple, they can meet in a few days if they want to."

"Exactly, and although I’m very sad, I don’t know why I’m sad." Hong Yi suddenly realized, "It’s the feeling of being abandoned. They’ll meet again soon, but they’ve left me behind."

Lin Wu said, "That’s so spineless of you, you could come with us."

"Can’t you take care of my feelings?" Hong Yi said, "My friend died, and I can’t find a reason to be sad, which makes me very upset."

Lin Wu said, "Qinglang is sad, so you have to be sad."

Hong Yi replied, "Qinglang’s sorrow might not necessarily be a bad thing for him."

"Oh?"

"This sudden life-and-death separation will make him cherish the people around him more. When they reunite, their feelings will only grow stronger," Hong Yi sobbed, "The most pitiful one is me, a lone dog with no one to care for, even my right to be sad is a notch below others."

Lin Wu called out to Wai, "Go comfort your sister."

Hong Yi hugged Wai, "This damn game has made me experience all the emotions once. Loneliness, sadness, solitude, comfort..."

"What about love?"

"Don’t bring up what’s better left alone," Hong Yi said, "Can you believe that the single dog after almost a year living with two guys and a girl is that girl?"

Lin Wu said, "That statement is discriminatory."

Maya walked to the flatbed carriage and said to the two, "It’s time to set off."

There couldn’t only be one driver like Maya, so she revoked Qinglang’s negotiator position and promoted him to driver. Qinglang seemed to have adjusted his mood and happily accepted the arrangement. Lin Wu wanted to comfort him with a few words, but Qinglang told Lin Wu that he was previously upset because he really thought he had lost Shuihua. After thinking it through, his mindset was very positive, and he assured Lin Wu not to worry about him.

Qinglang then asked Lin Wu a question in return, "When you jumped off the train to kill them, did you do it with a vengeful heart?"

Lin Wu nodded, "There were definitely thoughts of revenge. At that moment, it seemed like I had guidance in my head, suggesting the path of revenge I should take."

Qinglang said, "Lin Wu, you are very kind."

Lin Wu was shocked, "Many people have complimented me on my looks, and I accept that. Many have praised me for my diligence, and I accept that too. But you are the first to praise my kindness."

Qinglang said, "Then you should thank me."

"Thank you!"

"You’re welcome." The two smiled at each other.

In the dormitory carriage, Maya asked, "Which station do you want for the X route?" The previous night, Hong Yi and Maya had completed a detective mission, so they were rewarded with the choice of the next stop.

There were many different types of stations, including Peaceful Human Town, Cowboy Human Town, Ruffian Human Town, and others like Blood Mist Town, Zombie Town, Industrial Town, Agricultural Town, Factory Town, Sentry Card Town, etc. Further divisions could be made, such as Peaceful Agricultural Human Town and so on.

The first choice was whether there were zombies, what type of zombies, or what type of humans.

The second choice was the town’s attributes, what kind of town it was, past or present.

The third choice was for special projects, such as an industrial town with a train modification factory, carriage production factory, train manufacturing factory, etc.

Looking at the myriad of options Maya presented, Lin Wu said, "You might as well have not solved the case."

Hong Yi and Maya glared at Lin Wu, who had no idea how complex and suspenseful the process of solving the case had been the night before.

Lin Wu waved his hand dismissively, "Maya, you decide."

Both Hong Yi and Qinglang agreed.

They definitely wouldn’t choose Zombie Town, and their first choice was a peaceful town. Without a lack of supplies, there was no need for a trading type of town. After some thought, Maya chose the Peaceful Industrial Town with the Manufacturing Factory. They had never been to that place and didn’t know much about it, so since they weren’t in need of anything, they decided to check it out.

Maya asked, "Can Fortress agents know our stopping point? Will they ambush us there?"

Faced with such a question, Lin Wu responded with a complaint, "Why do Fortress agents know our stopping station? That’s cheating."
