Chapter 300 Returning to Youquan Pavilion
"Alright, Wan Di, slow down."
While instructing Su Wandi, Di Xing pressed another button, and the pre-prepared smoke generator started working, causing the entire train to emit thick black smoke.
While concealing the fact that the carriage was empty, they also created the illusion that the train had slowed down due to a malfunction caused by Allen's previous attack.
Di Xing and his group now need to slow the train down to give the Hexagram family more time to sell their grain.
Because once this empty train reaches the fourth floor, the lie will be exposed. Although the grain sold so far is probably enough to sustain the residents of the fourth floor for a while, the more grain the better.
This time, Di Xing and his group unusually chose to enter through the main gate of Muwu Dulun.
In principle, it is easy to leave Dulun but difficult to enter. However, because the people on the upper level are indifferent to the fifth and fourth levels, the guards on the lower levels are actually very weak. There are only a few soldiers at the gate of the fifth level.
When the soldiers saw the train slowly approaching, they lazily reached out to stop them. After Di Xing showed them his official identification documents and attached a few gold coins, the soldiers readily let them in.
Upon entering the fifth floor, Di Xing released the bullet train from its possession, and the bullet train immediately reverted to the Ice Flame Express and the secondhand cars behind it. However, due to the smoke generator, they could not be seen clearly unless one got very close.
"Wandi, Shenji, you two continue to move forward slowly." Di Xing glanced at Nami and Ruan Nuo, who were fast asleep in each other's arms. "I'm leaving the two of them to you. I need to hurry back to Youquan Pavilion to carry out the next step of the plan."
"Okay," Immortal Dao Divine Chronicle said with some concern, "but you must be careful."
"Oh, you're concerned about me? You haven't fallen for me, have you?" Di Xing joked.
"Yes, yes, didn't I already tell you?" Immortal God Chronicle pouted as he looked at Di Xing.
"Ah!" Di Xing awkwardly scratched his cheek, realizing he had forgotten about that.
"What a scumbag!" Su Wandi looked at Di Xing with disdain.
Di Xing hurriedly boarded the Star Shuttle, saying, "I'm counting on you guys!" Then he twisted the throttle and sped away.
At this moment, a thought popped into Di Xing's mind: Nami's spirit power should be very weak. She used to drive the train with spirit orbs, but when he took over, she had already used up all her spirit orbs, so she was in very bad condition. So how did she materialize Legatia later?
Let's ask her properly after she wakes up.
Di Xing arrived directly at the Scrap Iron Plaza through the secret passage they had dug earlier, where Li Fei Hua Yue was waiting for him.
"You've arrived. It seems the plan is going very well."
"Almost there. Although there have been quite a few unexpected events, we've finally made it this far according to plan. Has anyone come here, Huayue?"
Li Fei Hua Yue pointed to the people lying unconscious and sprawled out beside her, "Quite a few. You've only been gone a couple of days, and this place has already been exposed."
If Vivi's train wanted to transport food via the normal pillars, it would be very slow, so this secret passage was essential. Therefore, Di Xing asked Li Fei Hua Yue to guard it here, and it seems that this arrangement was correct.
"Thank you for your hard work, Huayue, but I'll have to ask you to stay here for a while longer. I need to go back to Youquan Pavilion now."
Li Feihua looked at Di Xing quietly and said calmly, "Okay."
For some reason, Di Xing felt that there seemed to be some resentment in Li Fei Hua Yue's eyes, but the situation was urgent, so he still rode his motorcycle and went into the tunnel leading to Youquan Pavilion.
Now, thanks to Xiao Hong's continued digging, the tunnel has become quite spacious, even wide enough to drive a motorcycle inside. Therefore, Di Xing was able to quickly return to Youquan Pavilion.
As soon as Di Xing emerged from the floor and entered the main hall of Youquan Pavilion, a small "snowball" jumped into his arms—it was the Ghostly Snow Maiden.
"Oh, little snow woman, it's been a long time."
"Hmph, she thought she'd never see you again, she's been crying her eyes out. Honestly, what a scumbag who deceives girls' feelings," the Witch of Ghosts said angrily.
Di Xing hurriedly stroked the Snow Maiden's silvery-white hair. "It's alright, Snow Maiden, I'm back."
The Snow Maiden's tears quickly turned into ice crystals, making Di Xing grimace in pain, but even so, Di Xing did not push them away.
Then the Ghost Cat Girl and the Ghost Fairy pounced on Di Xing. Di Xing patted their heads to comfort them, and looking at the whimpering Ghost Card Spirits, Di Xing suddenly had a brilliant idea.
"Alright everyone, I'm going to show you what's going to be good."
Di Xing led the Ghostly Strategists to the second floor. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, they saw a large number of residents from the fourth floor gathered at the entrance. However, unlike their previous agitated and furious state, most of them were now slumped on the ground, looking pale and emaciated.
Although the residents on the fourth floor could buy food, the price was still very high, so most of them chose to buy only small amounts to barely sustain their lives.
In other words, they were constantly hungry, not to the point of starvation, but not enough to eat.
Among these people, there were a few oddballs. Although they wore the same tattered clothes as the residents of the fourth floor, their faces were ruddy, and they were still shouting and cursing at Di Xing with great enthusiasm.
Di Xing quietly gave Shi Xun, who was mingling in the crowd, a hand gesture. Shi Xun, seeing his friend safe and sound, immediately beamed with joy, nodded, and whispered a few words to his companion. The latter then weakly called out to the still-cursing group.
"Hey, how do you guys still have so much energy?"
"That's right!" His reminder made the others realize what he meant, and they all looked at the group with puzzled expressions.
The men were so frightened they broke out in a cold sweat. The leader protested, "I... no, I mean, can't I be physically strong?"
"Everyone's starving, how do you still have so much energy? And your face doesn't look like you've been starving," a sallow-faced, turbaned man said skeptically.
"W-what? Instead of joining us in condemning that traitor Di Xing, you're accusing us? Did you take bribes from him?"
"Damn it, if I had taken his bribe, would I be starving like this?" the turbaned man who was being accused roared in fury.
The others agreed, and then looked at the group with rosy complexions. It was immediately clear who had taken the bribe.
Seeing that things were going badly, the last one turned to run away, but Shi Xun kicked him down from behind.
Then several white things rolled out from the man's waist.
"Holy crap, it's steamed buns, white steamed buns! These people have white steamed buns on them!"
"You guys are still saying you didn't take bribes?!"
"Brothers, let's go! Take him down!"
