Chapter 651: Chapter 311: Small Town No. 20_3

Qinglang spoke first, asking, "Is there another wave coming?"

"You handle the soldiers, I’ll cover the flood." Lin Wu adjusted to maintain a positive mindset; emotional garbage was the last thing the team needed at this time.

Maya said, "Don’t worry, it’ll be hard for them to come up with a decent attack plan so soon after reviving."

Qinglang said, "I just feel like dying."

"Oh?"

Qinglang smiled, "No, not anymore. I have to finish this damn mission. Otherwise, when Shuihua and Hong Yi ask about it, I’ll be at a loss for words. I can’t just say, ’You died, so I didn’t want to live either, so I don’t know if the mission was successful in the end.’"

Lin Wu said, "Hong Yi and Shuihua are the companions I’ve spent the most time with and were separated by death. This feeling is still very strange and annoying."

Qinglang consoled, "Without the feeling of parting, it wouldn’t be a complete human emotion."

"You really have a way with words." Lin Wu raised a hand and said, "I can’t cook."

Qinglang volunteered, "Leave it to me."

"You?" Having tried Qinglang’s cooking, it was very average.

Qinglang, dissatisfied with Lin Wu’s reaction, said, "I am a professional nutritionist certified by the system."

Lin Wu said, "As long as there’s meat and salt, it’s good."

Qinglang looked at Maya, and Maya replied, "Having something to eat is good enough."

Qinglang sighed, "You guys really have no ambition."

Lin Wu: "But these are the conditions we have."

Qinglang: "Are you doubting me?"

"Yes."

Qinglang, resigned, said, "I doubt myself too."

They looked at each other and laughed, leaving worries behind and letting the scenery along the road take away all their longing.

...

From five people down to three, the huge train seemed quite empty. Maya sat in the driver’s seat, calculated the coal reserves, set the autopilot, took out the satellite phone, and dialed Nightmare’s number: "I won."

Nightmare asked, "Is winning or losing that important to you?"

Maya countered, "If there’s no winning or losing, to whom should the trophy be awarded?"

"Heh, it’s not over yet," Nightmare said. "There’s one more round of confrontation left, targeting Sasha."

"Alright!" Maya hung up the call and grabbed the walkie-talkie, "Nightmare says they’re coming for another round."

Lin Wu said, "They spent two days on the mission just to force us onto Line 1, and they even destroyed the tracks. Another round would only be a hasty attempt."

Maya said, "Exactly, which is why she explicitly stated that this time the target is Sasha."

The control panel indicated: 60 kilometers to Town 20, minimum stay 5 minutes, maximum stay 24 hours, and must depart by 8 a.m. on the seventh day. If departing Town 20 before 10 p.m. on the sixth day, the train will have no night missions and will arrive at Curtain Town at 7:30 a.m. the next morning.

Maya called Lin Wu and Qinglang to the front to see the information.

"They’re showing their hand." Previously Nightmare had stated that their agents would not participate on the final day, which was a player and system event. Lin Wu said, "It’s either departing from Town 20 or Curtain Town."

While munching on grapes, Qinglang asked, "So what’s the difference?"

Maya thought for a while: "Whether we stay in the small town or rush to Curtain Town, apart from the extra miles, there’s no other difference."

Lin Wu said, "I think there is a difference. The difference lies in us reaching Curtain Town according to time, not mileage. Whether we go at 20 kilometers per hour or 120 kilometers per hour, it’s 7:30 in the morning when we get to Curtain Town. The mileage is the score."

Maya asked, "Will it be harder starting from Curtain Town?"

"Uncertain," Lin Wu said. "Although we’ve earned a night’s mileage, we’ve lost ten hours of town exploration time."

Qinglang said, "I think the name Curtain Town is very characteristic, as if it’s the beginning of everything. Town 20 seems quite unremarkable."

"Alright, we’ll head for Curtain Town."
