Kaidan Game Train: Abide Rule or Die!
Chapter 1004: I Admire You

Chapter 1004: Chapter 1004: I Admire You

Mr. Chang’s side used a smoke bomb, clearly signaling an intention to retreat from this battle. The three individuals with distinct characteristics of District 002 were all locals, which was why Brother Lei had issued a threat.

Should they wish to hide in the game, nobody could stop them now. And with a bomb on the speeding train, backup Players couldn’t arrive in time; the goal was to give the opposition some apprehension.

Once the tunnel exploded, the deaths wouldn’t be limited to just a few people.

Of course, Brother Lei’s side had casualties and it was hard to swallow this grievance. The best outcome would be to resolve these individuals on the train!

Mr. Chang’s trio hadn’t abandoned their goal, but their manpower was limited. They had managed to separate Brother Lei and the others by arranging it beforehand, yet the developments that followed didn’t go as they anticipated. The trio’s Characteristics and Props had all been exposed. It was difficult to achieve the same miraculous effect as at the beginning. Continuing the fight, the outcome was uncertain, not to mention there was a Super Evolver of unknown level sitting behind them!

"Shall we withdraw?" The Player driving suggested, "Although Dong Jingxuan is a direct descendant of the Dong Family, he is not the most valued. Even if we threaten them with his life, the Dong Family might not hand over the genetic password. We should leave first, then think of other methods."

This was the best result.

They hadn’t suffered too much of a loss.

Mr. Chang said gravely, "We are short-handed. It will be hard to come across an opportunity like this again."

After a moment of silence, the invisible Player suggested, "How about we try one more..."

Before he could finish, that sudden and elusive voice interrupted them again, "Backup has arrived outside."

All three turned to look at the side but saw no one, then they turned forward. Through the thinning smoke and beyond Brother Lei and his people, Xu Huo was still sitting there, watching them with unfathomable intent.

"Let’s go!" In the end, it was Mr. Chang who spoke first. He took out a small revolving door-like Prop, and the three vanished from the train together.

With the people gone, the danger was averted. Brother Lei first arranged for his men to rescue the injured, then walked over to Xu Huo to inquire about Dong Jingxuan’s condition.

Dong Jingxuan looked a bit pale but was stable. He seemed to want to say something, but his eyes swept over Brother Lei’s injured arm and he closed his mouth again.

Brother Lei didn’t talk much with him, but said to Xu Huo instead, "Mr. Xu has truly impressed me."

Before knowing the opponent’s Characteristics and Props, their ten-person squad had suffered a loss. Not only could Xu Huo contend with the three, but he was also able to deduce the trio’s Characteristics patterns in such a short time. He wasn’t someone meant to bodyguard a young master like Dong Jingxuan. What’s two million White Notes? With his capabilities, the Dong Family could offer a minimum salary of twenty million White Notes per month.

Money is trivial for powerful Players.

Knowing that he wouldn’t be able to probe Xu Huo’s purpose, Brother Lei joked, "Mr. Xu doesn’t have a grudge against the Dong Family, does he?"

He had mentioned the Dong Family before; it was not unheard of for families to be visited for retribution after their misbehaving youngsters caused trouble outside.

Xu Huo smiled and shook his head, "I quite admire Young Master Xuan, and I wish to become his friend."

Dong Jingxuan wasn’t foolish. Hearing this, he said, "You’re too kind, Mr. Xu. Now is the lively time in Snow City, once we get off the train, I will show you a good time!"

"Alright." Xu Huo nodded in agreement.

Only then did the atmosphere between them warm up. Even the little boy, whose name was still unknown until now, received considerate treatment from Brother Lei’s people. Another long-haired female Player personally cut his hair and nails and even brought out two sets of little boy’s clothes for him to choose from.

"These were bought for a relative’s child, try them on to see if they fit."

The little boy was averse to the dress, but still turned to look at Xu Huo for guidance.

"You choose." Xu Huo respected his wishes fully.

The boy went to change clothes and when he came out, he also mentioned his name, supposedly given by his former foster father, called Xiao Dou.

The exceedingly casual name and the unspoken tragic past elicited a look of pity from the female Player, her voice became even more gentle.

Xu Huo glanced at him, and Xiao Dou, who had been covertly observing, tensed unconsciously, then raised his head to look directly at him.

Xu Huo diverted his gaze and conversed with Dong Jingxuan next to him, with a focus on discussing the fun places within Snow City.

During the discussion, when the Snow Palace was mentioned, Dong Jingxuan’s expression became a bit awkward; this was not something he could decide on.

"I can only go ask my father."

"If he says it’s okay, then it’s definitely okay because one of the beauties selected this year in the Snow Palace was purchased by my family. You can still see her even before entering the Snow Palace."

The hours-long train ride quickly passed, and upon arriving at the Snow City station, lighting similar to real sunlight filled their vision. It wasn’t as glaring as in Xiaoyang City, and Snow City’s buildings didn’t use reflective materials extensively, making the entire city appear much softer.

Advanced flying vehicles automatically arrived in front of them, requiring only voice commands for the vehicles to complete all the functions of transportation, and they also functioned as tour guides.

The flying vehicles maintained a fixed height in the air, and the one Xu Huo and Dong Jingxuan rode was at a higher altitude, always traveling at a height of fifty meters above the ground and circling the staggered buildings.

From a holistic perspective, Snow City’s layout resembled a castle with varying heights, but most of the land had little difference in elevation, with only some buildings supported by special foundations, their main bodies suspended dozens of meters in the air, resembling a Gyro or close to the concept of a UFO in 014.

Of course, the central part was mainly residential and working areas, while the extensions were for leisure – Snow City’s "greenery" was excellent.

Most buildings were equipped with a considerable number of plants, and the thriving flowers and vines often covered the entire building. The white or translucent roots, leaves, and buds, though monotonous, became distinct and possessed a rare dreamy quality due to their large scale.

People yearn for unseen landscapes, adding to their beauty and charm through imagination.

Besides plants, some buildings employed aquariums as their facades. Of course, the fish floating inside were mostly colorless and beautiful.

During the celebration period, the air was populated with jellyfish-like plant seeds, with plant bases on the ground periodically blowing these seeds into the air to enhance the festive atmosphere.

Furthermore, holographic projections set up in plazas and on the exteriors of buildings continuously cycled through the selection process. Apart from the selection of beauties among humans, the judging for flora and fauna’s beauty also concluded today, and tourists and citizens could purchase tickets to view.

Xu Huo took note of the images of the Preservation Museum on the projections, showcasing large spatial passageways, and proposed to go see.

This coincided perfectly with Dong Jingxuan, who was reluctant to return home. Ignoring Brother Lei’s opinion, they directly diverted to the Plant Preservation Museum.

Dong Jingxuan used facial recognition to let them in, and upon entering, their view was dominated by a massive plant.
