Chapter 383: 383 Chapter: Return to Cha Mu_1

"Many cities still haven’t been able to deal with those attackers, and to avoid being affected, just stay away from the guard facilities and densely populated areas. Those guys probably won’t launch a full-scale attack."

Yang Hongzhi explained, and Dou Yanlan glanced at the crowd before saying,

"The bus station here doesn’t have too many people, unlike the train station, which is really crowded. After all, bus stations are usually only used by people from nearby towns."

Feng Yuan wasn’t surprised by this, as bus stations generally only handle transportation for nearby towns. For long-distance travel, high-speed rail is the preferred option for safety reasons. Although long-distance buses are available, they are much more expensive than the railway because they require Elite Level security personnel who can rotate shifts.

Now that even people from the towns were seeking refuge in the city, it was no wonder that people from other areas were taking the railway to evacuate.

"By the way, your ID allows you to ride for free, so stop buying child tickets."

Qi Chen seemed to remember something and warned Feng Yuan, while Qi Xiaoshuang and Dou Yanlan looked curiously at Qi Chen, asking,

"What child ticket?"

Qi Chen glanced at Feng Yuan, who was pretending to look around at the scenery, and explained the incident at the entrance of Meow Meow Paradise. Qi Xiaoshuang struggled to hold back laughter as she looked at Feng Yuan and said,

"You actually thought of using a child ticket to slip through? Don’t you know that places like parks always check your ID card?"

"It seems your thinking is affected as well."

"What do you mean, my thinking is affected! Cotton, if you keep looking at me like that, be careful or I’ll take you to be stewed in a dragon and tiger fight!"

Cotton glanced at Feng Yuan, who was arrogantly raising his head, and swished its tail. Feng Yuan leapt up and fiercely rubbed Cotton’s head, causing Cotton to puff up in anger and yowl at Feng Yuan. Seeing that Cotton didn’t lash out with its claws, Dou Yanlan immediately understood that Feng Yuan must have used some method to intimidate Cotton. After glancing at Feng Yuan, Dou Yanlan said helplessly,

"You really do act like a child."

Qi Chen gently patted Feng Yuan on the shoulder and said,

"Stop messing around, let’s get ready to buy the tickets and head in."

After pulling out his ID, Feng Yuan indeed did not need to buy a ticket to take the train. The ticket inspector respectfully scanned Feng Yuan’s ID and handed it back to him. Just past the checkpoint, right as Feng Yuan was about to ask how seating worked with his ID, an elegantly dressed woman approached, bowed, and said,

"Hello, may I ask which train you plan to take?"

Feng Yuan pointed at Qi Chen and said,

"I’m with them."

"Sir, may I see your ticket, please?"

Qi Chen passed the ticket somewhat puzzledly, and after checking it, the woman used a device, then said after checking,

"The seat next to this gentleman happens to be unsold. Would it be alright to arrange for you to sit there?"

Feng Yuan, unconcerned, waved his hand and said,

"Whatever works."

The woman smiled, worked on her device for a moment, and after bowing to Feng Yuan, said,

"If that’s okay, then we’ll arrange it like that. If you have any questions, you can come find me or ask any of the security brothers on the train."

"I’ll be in the duty office just over there."

Following the direction the woman pointed, Feng Yuan took note of the office sign, and said with some confusion,

"Maomu City Bus Station Management Office? So you’re not just a regular employee? Why are you so respectful towards me?"

The woman smiled and said,

"This is out of respect for the contributions you’ve made."

"Contributions?"

"Don’t you know that your major contributions are recorded on your ID? The Nightmare incident, and yesterday’s attacks, we have you to thank for those."

Earlier events were not recorded on Feng Yuan’s ID, as he hadn’t had one at the time, and the details were unclear to most. The Yognot incident, although later Great Xia got the details from Yimu Qingling, was highly confidential due to its involvement with Yognot and time, and could not be documented in the ID information.

Shaking the ID in his hand, Feng Yuan didn’t say much, just followed the others to the seats nearby to wait for the train. Noticing Qi Xiaoshuang staring at him, Feng Yuan shook his ID and boastfully said,

"Jealous, aren’t you?"

"What’s there to be jealous of? You deserve it; it’s just that..."

Qi Xiaoshuang hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"If possible, you shouldn’t embark on those dangerous endeavors anymore."

Xiao Ji, resting by Feng Yuan’s feet, seemed to sense something dangerous and stiffened its tuft of hair as it slowly raised its head to stare at Feng Yuan, just as Qi Xiaoshuang continued,

"If you had actually gone through with that yesterday, what would have become of Xiao Ji? It would have been very sad, right?"

Although Xiao Ji didn’t entirely understand what Qi Xiaoshuang was referring to, tears began to well up in its eyes on cue. Seeing Xiao Ji’s aggrieved look, Feng Yuan squat down helplessly to comfort it. Witnessing the sorrow on Xiao Ji’s face, Qi Xiaoshuang found herself unable to continue, while Qi Chen gave her a glare and quickly helped Feng Yuan soothe Xiao Ji.

Agunas’s phantom gave Feng Yuan a glance and flicked its tail without attempting to console Xiao Ji, thinking that what Xiao Ji needed was to discipline that guy. They were lucky that Najia had intervened this time; next time might not be the same.

Upon boarding the vehicle, a security officer saw Feng Yuan pass by and immediately stopped what he was doing to salute him, regardless of whether Feng Yuan noticed.

"There are so few passengers; no wonder they could arrange for me to sit with you."

After scanning the interior of the vehicle, Feng Yuan leaned on the window to look around and said, it was originally Qi Chen’s seat by the window, but after some thought, Qi Chen let Feng Yuan sit inside to prevent him from causing a commotion if he got bored. Dou Yanlan exchanged seats with another passenger and was now whispering to Qi Chen across the aisle. Qi Xiaoshuang purposely switched to Yang Hongzhi’s side and began curiously inquiring about life at the academy.

"It seems to have made quite an impact."

After leaving the station, looking at Cha Mu Bus station, which was the complete opposite of the bustling Maomu Bus Terminal, Feng Yuan remarked. Noticing the nearly deserted streets, Qi Chen frowned slightly and said,

"Nothing untoward is happening, is it?"

"Maybe we should head back..."

Worried about encountering another mishap, Qi Xiaoshuang tugged at Qi Chen’s sleeve, while Yang Hongzhi took a look around and said,

"There shouldn’t be any accidents. Cha Mu Town is like this on normal days. It’s only during holidays that you’ll find many tourists roaming the streets. Given the current situation, it’s unlikely that many tourists would dare to travel."

"Where do we go now?"

Feng Yuan asked while shaking Big Cat’s wings. Yang Hongzhi took out his phone and said,

"Wait a moment, I’ll ask her."

After a while, Yang Hongzhi hung up the phone and told everyone,

"She asked us to go directly there; our accommodation is also over there."

"But how do we get to Fire Stronghold..."

Yang Hongzhi looked at his phone with a headache. Due to the attack, the private shuttles that usually loitered around the station had vanished without a trace, and they hadn’t found any public transportation that went to Fire Stronghold. Feng Yuan thought for a moment and said,

"Why don’t we get a temporary pass to ride Xiao Hui there?"

"That’s an idea."

"Temporary passes? I’m afraid that won’t work. The Beast Path is now in a state of emergency, and civilian approvals are temporarily suspended."

"It’s not suitable to take the highway. You have to watch out for cars; it’s too slow. Can’t we take to the sky?"

After giving Feng Yuan a glance, Qi Chen said calmly,

"Can Xiao Ji enter ’Coming of the Future’?"

"Er... it seems not."

Scratching his head, Feng Yuan remembered that Xiao Ji had already used ’Coming of the Future’ the day before. Even if the power of the White Wolf Deity could activate it again, Xiao Ji wouldn’t be able to withstand the side effects of using ’Coming of the Future’ consecutively in a short period. That is unless they were within the Great Li Dynasty, where Feng Yuan, with authority in hand, could easily erase those side effects.

"This is troublesome... I don’t know where we can find a car to Fire Stronghold..."

"Right, this ID won’t work?"

As he said that, something occurred to Feng Yuan and he pulled out his identification and handed it over. Taking Feng Yuan’s ID, the staff member scanned it with some confusion, but then his expression changed to one of respect as he handed the ID back and said,

"This will do. Where would you like to go via the Beast Path? I can arrange a temporary dispatch for you."

"Dispatch?"

The group looked at the staff member with puzzled expressions.
