Chapter 73 Terrorist Organization
The next room.
Zhao Lin looked in terror at the huge iron block in the gear state that had smashed through the entire room right in front of her.
The center of the gear was connected by an iron chain.
Accompanied by bursts of noise, the gear was dragged back by this iron chain.
“What happened?”
Ye Qiyan, who had come into the room, couldn’t help frowning when he saw this scene before him.
From the smashed opening, a man dressed in a machine construct could be seen manipulating chains, making seven gears revolve around his body.
“Fan Huo! Surrender obediently!”
“…”
Fan Huo, if he wasn’t guessing wrong with such an uncommon name…
Changing perspective, in front of that man, a man with a cigar in his mouth and black sunglasses was standing on top of a fighter jet.
“Minion of Sloth, do you think you can catch me?”
The man controlling the gears had a gloomy expression. Waving his chains, several gears spun again and smashed towards Fan Huo.
“You are not allowed to insult Lord!”
The gears flew, but before hitting Fan Huo, they were stopped by a hexagonal protective shield and bounced in other directions.
One of them happened to head towards the direction where Zhao Lin was once again.
The girl’s face was pale, and looking at the scene before her, her feet seemed to be bound and unable to move.
“Tch.”
Bang——!
The room was completely destroyed.
Zhao Lin trembled as she looked in fear at Ye Qiyan, who had pulled her out of the room.
“B-Brother Qiyan…”
“Can you walk?”
“Yes…”
Walking out of this Hot Spring Inn, quite a lot of people had already gathered on the street, and the owner of the inn stood aside, looking like he was about to cry.
“Damn it, when you fight, can’t you run to the wasteland to fight?”
“Boss, do you know what happened up there?”
Ye Qiyan walked up, helped him pick up a few Train Coins that had fallen on the ground, and took the opportunity to ask.
“Sigh, thanks… Those two up there, the one smoking should be a member of a terrorist organization, and the one behind is a senior inquisitor from the City of a Thousand Stars. The one smoking snatched a rare item from the person behind. It seems something happens when a certain amount is collected, though I don’t know what specifically. Really… I don’t get what these terrorist organizations are thinking at all.”
“Aren’t peaceful and easy days good? Why must they always kill and fight? The lords above worked hard to build so many cities that allow us to live the peaceful lives we used to have, why do they insist on making changes…”
The inn owner’s gaze towards Fan Huo held confusion and a trace of hidden envy.
“A terrorist organization?”
Ye Qiyan blinked, looked at Fan Huo escaping in the air, and then silently glanced at the Emperor Sequence Organization Chat Room beside him.
“Yeah, you didn’t know? Oh, I see, you must be a new batch of Train Captains, calculating the time, it’s just about when your batch arrived in this world. No wonder business is so good today, time flies. Calculating the time, I’ve also been in this world for twelve years.”
The inn owner understood and didn’t hide anything just because Ye Qiyan was a newcomer.
“I don’t know the specifics very well either. I only know that certain lords in the upper layers built many cities in some large Station Worlds with the purpose of allowing everyone coming to this world to have a stable life, so they don’t have to go into the wasteland to drive Trains and take adventures anymore. But there are still many people from terrorist organizations who want to collect something, angering the people above, so they became a terrorist organization.”
“Speaking of which, it seems that just providing their information can reward quite a few Train Coins. Heh, I wonder when I’ll ever bump into one.”
Ye Qiyan smiled and took a step back.
“You’ll bump into one. Maybe you’ve already bumped into one.”
“Haha, how is that possible? That kind of contest between upper-class people is not something a loser like me, who has never even had a Level 4 Train and has stayed here all along, can see.”
The inn owner laughed loudly, scratched his bald head, and turned to leave. For some reason, his figure appeared somewhat desolate.
Ye Qiyan rubbed his chin. The inn owner didn’t seem to know very much.
Even worse, he had no idea about the existence of the card sequence.
“If a whole set of card sequences is really collected, what on earth will happen?”
“Brother Qiyan…”
Zhao Lin behind him gently tugged at his wrist.
Looking back, he saw that Zhao Lin’s face was full of hesitation.
“I… should I also stay here like that boss…”
“This is your own business, why are you asking me?”
“…I’m sorry, I’ve caused you trouble. If it weren’t for my Bad Luck…”
Ye Qiyan interrupted her.
“You gave me Train Coins. Before you decide to stay or move forward, following by my side is an equivalent trade. Even if I’m tainted by your Bad Luck, it’s my own choice and has nothing to do with you. If you want to stay, find a guild, and go ask that inn owner uncle from just now—he has experience. That’s it, I have things to do tomorrow.”
Although the inn had a big hole smashed into it, there were still quite a few rooms that weren’t affected.
The owner changed Ye Qiyan to a new room.
Nothing else happened that night.

The next day.
When he woke up, it was already nine in the morning.
This was the longest he had slept since coming to this world.
Although the bed on the Train was very good, there was always a sense of tension there because danger was always close by.
But now, he was in the City of a Thousand Stars, a world rich in the atmosphere of human civilization, wrapped in a factor called stability.
No wonder many people chose to stay.
After washing up.
After eating the breakfast provided by the inn.
As soon as he walked out of the room, he saw Zhao Lin squatting at his door, looking up at him with huge dark circles under her eyes.
“Brother Qiyan…”
“What are you doing?”
Zhao Lin forced out a smile, making her state look less ugly.
“I can’t sleep.”
“Then go count sheep.”
“I! I won’t stay here!”
She suddenly stood up with a firm look in her eyes.
“I’ve thought it over. Even if I stay, that Talent of mine might take my life at some point anyway. It’s better to continue riding the Train; outside, I might be able to find something that can keep me alive, right?”
Ye Qiyan stopped in his tracks and looked at Zhao Lin somewhat unexpectedly.
To be honest, he didn’t expect Zhao Lin to choose to move forward. But that was fine too; as a qualified trading partner, many of the things she obtained in the lucky Platform would end up in his hands anyway.
“Why ask me? If you want to continue, then continue. Take this, to pep you up.”
A White Forest Fruit appeared out of thin air in his hand and was tossed onto Zhao Lin’s chest, bouncing twice.
“I’m going to retrieve my Train, are you going or not?”
“I’m going. After all, I gave Brother Qiyan Train Coins, so of course I have to follow to the end.”
