A Top Scholar in Everything-Chapter 922 - 908: Setting Out Again

Besides passengers, the train naturally carries cargo.

Moreover, there is quite a bit of cargo on this train; otherwise, the investment in such a long-distance train journey would not match the returns.

Although tickets are expensive,

that alone is not enough for the Great City to create such a route. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

The entire train is empty, and Baiyu has no choice but to rummage through the car warehouse. He eventually finds a large displacement, limited edition mountain conqueror motorcycle made by the Mechanical Church. This motorcycle is very large, resembling a wild bull.

Its streamlined appearance, with a sleek black metallic shell, is quite impressive.

Of course, it is still far less than the Ghost Fire motorcycle Baiyu left at Linjiang City.

Pushing the motorcycle off the train, Baiyu leaves a social account behind. If the owner is lucky enough to return here, they will find it. But Baiyu estimates that the owner likely won't come back.

He then repeats the process.

He took lots of food, a compass, flashlight, tent, map, and other outdoor survival gear from the train. This train is like a large supermarket; it has just about everything.

Even Baiyu marvels at how many strange and unique things are onboard.

After gathering all the necessary outdoor living supplies,

Baiyu rode off on the motorcycle, creating dust as he went, this time planning to head straight to the Free Federation.

...

Amidst the silent mountains, birds and beasts continuously cry out.

The overturned train, with its unguarded open doors, soon attracts a swarm of wild animals and insects living in the desolate countryside, who come to move the food inside. Naturally, it's not just the food on the train attracting them but also the Naga Race corpses scattered everywhere.

Crunch...

The sound of boots snapping twigs breaks the silence of the environment.

A man wearing a light blue short sleeve shirt, with heroic and robust features, appears at the scene of the accident: "Seems quite a fuss. The Naga Race still has energy to cause trouble here?"

"I heard that over in East Prosperity, they directly attacked the Naga Race's lair, and the Demon Monster Organization Flesh and Blood Research Association, Wumian Mansion, were heavily damaged. Many alien races are resentful, and the Demon Race and Ghost-faced Race are nearly wiped out.

Looks like the Naga Race is forced with no other option, which is why they chose to take action by the Great City, especially since there is a Sea-Stabilizing Dragon Bead in the City Lord's collection..."

Behind the man,

is a young man wearing sunglasses.

Yet his tone is that of an old-timer, making those who don't know think he's a middle-aged man talking.

The two examine the traces on the train.

Ultimately, their expressions grow increasingly intriguing.

"It seems the Naga Race's attack encountered significant problems; these Naga Race corpses were likely caused by the martial artists on the train. But what exactly made the Naga Race abandon its advance?

According to intelligence,

it should be a gigantic space rift; waiting for such a rift and seizing the opportunity is not easy. The Naga Race corpses are only a few hundred; it couldn't have made the Naga Race retreat."

The man in short sleeves spoke gravely.

The man in sunglasses, also looking serious, said: "There must be a stronger presence that stopped the Naga Race's advance. The two commanders of the Naga Race have Eclipse Moon level strength; stopping them requires at least Eclipse Moon level as well.

Among the organizations active by the Great City,

those with Eclipse Moon level strength, yet not monitored by the Great City, would only be the Divine Court."

The man in shorts furrowed his brow: "Are you saying it was someone from the Divine Court who intervened? But recently, aren't they busy fighting with the Demon Organization Hell at the Free Federation? Do they even have the energy to mind this matter here?"

"That's not necessarily true. The Divine Court's Eclipse Moon level experts have at least two left by the Great City. As I know, Tianyi Daoist is in the Great City. Other more profound information I am unaware of, especially since Heaven has strictly prohibited investigation into the Divine Court."

The man in sunglasses heaved a sigh.

The two continue to inspect the train, finally confirming that indeed someone intervened to stop the Naga Race's army—a single person's effort to halt an alien race's advance, a notion that stirs one's blood.

The two Meteor Level One persons are filled with boundless admiration for the predecessor who single-handedly blocked an army, imagining in their minds what kind of expert could have such fearless and sacrificial spirit.

It is precisely due to such outstanding individuals emerging endlessly among humans that humanity has been able to come from the Age of Barbarism and continue to today—from being a weak group to today's massive force battling thousands of races.

The flesh can be destroyed,

but thoughts cannot be extinguished.

"Let's go, report the situation here to the Anti-Insurgency Bureau at the Great City; Lord Qian Xin is awaiting our report. This area is temporarily designated a B Level danger zone; the Naga Race should not be targeting here again, with future focus turned to subsequent cleanup.

By the way,

emphasize the incident of the mysterious individual's intervention in the report; such matters need to be brought to attention."

After discussing, they dispatched people to barricade the area and hurried back to the Great City.

...

Three days later,

Baiyu rides across the Desert, never stopping midway, but now he is out of water, urgently in need of a place to refill.

"Skull Town, this is the place."

Looking at a large skull emblem on the map, Baiyu stops the bike.

Skull Town.

Situated in the Desert, it's a gathering spot for desert wanderers and Desert Hunters, exceedingly prosperous.

The leader of Skull Town hails from the Dark Black Dragon Cavalry; the Dark Dragon Knight is a super force on the Desert, which is why Skull Town has stood on the Desert, unmoved for years, with no one daring to target it.

Protected by a major force.

And offering a relatively fair trade and survival environment.

This makes Skull Town's success inevitable.

Through years of development, Skull Town has become a popular gathering spot within the region.

Baiyu arrives at Skull Town just as dusk falls.

The sun sets in the west, the sky is full of red clouds.

Outside the gate of Skull Town, Baiyu encounters a troublesome situation.

A roadblock is set up at the gate, making it impossible for motorcycles to enter, and two simply dressed men approach, asking for a town fee.

Not expensive,

only ten currency units.

But Skull Town's currency is a bit unique; apart from the four major transportation companies' currencies, they do not accept other currencies, or it must be barter.

Because besides the four major transportation companies,

other forces' currencies are hard to use in Skull Town, as residents of Skull Town would never go to the Great City over a thousand miles away for consumption.

So, the currency used commonly by merchants can be used in places like Skull Town.
