402: Chapter 402: Ignorance Is Fearless
“It’s truly magical,” Wan Tingfang exclaid.
“If it were just the light and scenery, it’s quite beautiful.”
Unfortunately, beautiful things often co with unknown dangers.
After the spectacle, signs of weathering appeared on the train’s outer shell in the records.
The specially made tal dissolved like ash in the air.
After a minute, the train stopped, the interior equipnt damaged and unable to move forward anymore.
The records end here with no further details on how the passengers were dealt with or how the train was repaired.
“They didn’t detail the repairs; I wanted to see how they would handle this,” Wan Tingfang said regretfully.
“They probably just sent over so self-sufficient equipnt, no need for people,” Xu Huo took the second record disk.
“That’s right, if people were needed it would definitely require technicians.” The team led by Shi Youzhi was clearly more focused on transport security, or basically running errands.
“By the way, did you hear about the big incident last night?” Wan Tingfang lowered her voice instinctively.
“What?” Xu Huo asked while glancing at the projection.
“Soone broke into the Enforcent Departnt Prison.
I heard quite a few people were killed.” Wan Tingfang smiled.
“A lot of players went last night.
I heard they didn’t catch anyone.”
Xu Huo glanced at her, “I didn’t hear about it.
Was it a big commotion?”
“Martial law for two hours, city-wide search,” Wan Tingfang added.
“Apart from private residences, nearly every other area in the main city zone of this station is under surveillance with no blind spots.
During martial law, everyone must stay where they were when the announcent was made.
They cannot move around freely, or they will be treated as enemies.
They might be killed by the enforcent machinery before the players from the Enforcent Departnt can even reach them.”
“That doesn’t bother players too much, with tickets they can go anywhere,” Xu Huo spoke casually.
“Exactly, what’s the use in searching the city when the person has run away,” Wan Tingfang wasn’t much interested in the content of the projection anymore and stretched her neck, saying, “Probably the Enforcent Departnt people are too idle and are looking for so presence.”
Xu Huo continued to watch a few other records of Alien attacks.
Aliens usually appeared at night and, limited by vision, the recordings didn’t clearly show what the Aliens looked like.
But, judging by their size, they seed different from the ones on the preliminary examination trains.
Aliens are diverse – Xu Huo was aware of that.
However, the variety of bizarre and oddly shaped Aliens was vast.
Coincidentally, Aliens always appeared during the night, restricted by species perhaps?
“The discs you’re looking at seem boring.
Why don’t you take a look at mine?” Wan Tingfang interrupted, “I found several discs without clear tistamps.
There might be so surprises.”
Xu Huo gave up his spot to her.
Wan Tingfang started playing them excitedly, only to look disappointed after viewing, “It turns out to be station maintenance.”
Of course, any records that could be given to them to view wouldn’t contain important information; besides, these things don’t usually require human intervention and can be automatically cleared of old records by the equipnt.
The base’s dismissal of players might be because there’s sothing wrong with the players themselves.
Players are always curious about the secrets of the ga.
Wouldn’t the Zone 011 Governnt, which occupies several ga districts, be interested in the ga’s technology?
After watching all the record discs that were available, Xu Huo put them all back in place, awaiting destruction.
Afterward, there was nothing else to do.
The team mbers had free ti to do as they pleased, waiting for the next notification.
San Yang called Xu Huo to his office.
“You took so record discs to watch?”
“I wanted to understand the world beyond the tracks,” Xu Huo admitted candidly.
“It’s even more dangerous than I imagined.”
San Yang twirled his curly hair, “How are your physics knowledge?”
“I studied the basics at school, but I didn’t go in-depth,” Xu Huo said.
“If I had beco a scientist, I might not be in the ga right now.”
“Haha!
Maybe, maybe not.
There are so in the ga who delve into technology and theory; they’re all talents.
Ga district governnts compete actively for them,” San Yang chuckled.
“Those with such abilities can also apply to be Grey Players, working for the Ga Governnt.”
Xu Huo spread his hands, “I don’t have that ability, so I have to go on adventures.”
“As a young man, it’s good to gain more experience.
But I would suggest you stop thinking about the world outside the trains,” San Yang advised.
“Even if you encounter a train destroyed by an Alien, it’s best to stay onboard the train.
As long as you survive, you might be rescued by a repair train.”
“Being curious and ambitious isn’t a bad thing, but you need to asure your abilities.
Not to ntion you’re only Level D; even Rank-A players wouldn’t dare to leave the train.
”
“Ignorance is bliss, learning a little more is never a bad thing,” Xu Huo smiled.
San Yang nodded, “Alright, I have nothing else for you here.
By the way, if you’re free, could you make a trip to the Enforcent Departnt for ?
Their logistics departnt bought so equipnt.
Just grab soone to go with you and get a receipt.”
It was Xu Huo’s first ti running an errand, and naturally, it was better to call soone he knew.
But everyone from Ai Jia had already left, saying they were busy, so he had no choice but to ask Wan Tingfang, who had stayed to buy so props.
“Is there overti pay?” Wan Tingfang asked right away.
“You want overti pay for such relaxed work?” San Yang dismissed her impatiently.
“It’s not my fault, really, I’m just short on money,” Wan Tingfang complained as they got into the vehicle.
“I need to buy Potions and props.
The base may provide eight thousand White Notes monthly, which is better than other places, but it’s not enough.”
As she spoke, she looked at Xu Huo.
“You clearly don’t lack money.”
Xu Huo chuckled, “Haven’t you seen that I didn’t even look at the props?
This little cash I have is only enough for food and accommodation.”
Wan Tingfang imdiately put on a “we are all in the sa boat” expression, “You’re so right.
I haven’t figured out how I am going to pay next month’s rent yet.
I have to enter an instance again soon and I really don’t want to.”
“What about you?
When is the next instance?”
“It’ll be a while.” Xu Huo tackled Rose Castle a while back.
Having been delayed in Zone 011 these days, there was more than a month before the deadline for the next instance.
However, Brother Tu in the picture fra had been closed for almost thirty days now, so he needed to find a chance to let him out.
“We’ve arrived,” Wan Tingfang said as a reminder.
They had co to the headquarters of the Enforcent Departnt, the sa place Xu Huo had inadvertently visited with the false He Pu.
This place’s architecture was sowhat modeled after the base but had stricter protections.
No one could approach the surrounding area, and several checkpoints were necessary to gain entry.
“It’s usually not this crowded,” Wan Tingfang whispered.
“It must be because of yesterday’s incident.”
“Who are you?” an officer in a white uniform with white shoulder badges from the Enforcent Departnt stopped them.
“We’re here on behalf of the base to deliver goods,” Xu Huo patted the side of the vehicle, “Your equipnt that the Enforcent Departnt ordered.”
The white shoulder badges looked back and then said, “Wait here; don’t wander off.”
After speaking, the officer stood by their side but did not communicate with others.
“I get waiting is fine, but you’d at least inform the logistics departnt that the delivery has arrived, right?” Wan Tingfang spoke up after waiting for a while, unable to contain her impatience.
