Chapter 248 - 248: The Danger Hidden in the Train
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Inside the train compartment.
The old man and Li Yidao were on the lower bunk.
Sister Zhou and Yang Qingyue were on the upper bunk.
The four of them happened to have a sleeper berth compartment, which could guarantee the greatest silence.
However…
Compared to the tranquility inside their compartment, there was more hidden danger throughout the entire train compartment!
In the compartment beside them.
There was a couple who bought four seats.
It just so happened to be a seat arrangement that ensured relatively quietness.
It also guaranteed absolute privacy.
However… Just as they were about to close the compartment door.
Suddenly, four people walked in.
They were about to start shouting.
The other party took out a stack of money and placed it in front of them.
A lot… It was enough for their travel expenses this time.
In the choice between maintaining enough privacy during the journey or exchanging for a separate compartment with money.
They chose the latter.
Moreover… Even though the seats that they had given them weren’t in the same private room.
But… They were also two adjacent compartments.
If they could save some money and then exchange it for a separate compartment, it wouldn’t be a bad idea, right?
Anyway… It was still making a profit, wasn’t it?
But all of this, Li Yidao and the others were unaware of.
But… There were people who knew all of this.
On the other side of their compartment.
At this moment, there were six people in the sleeper berth compartment!
They were all sitting on the lower bunk!
They were ready to fight at any time.
If Li Yidao had seen the leader of the group, he might have recognized him.
The other party was none other than someone who had previously protected Li
Yidao.
Someone who had a face-to-face encounter with Li Yidao.
At this moment, their expressions were especially solemn!
The leader of the group is an old man.
However, Li Yidao had never seen this old man before.
The other party’s aura gave off an extremely terrifying feeling!
It was obvious!
This was a true expert!
Perhaps it was because of the incident last time that the old man was injured, Unit 36 couldn’t tolerate it anymore.
Therefore, they had arranged for a true expert this time.
As for the exact strength of this expert, Li Yidao didn’t know at the moment. However, since the other party was the one who arranged it at this time.
There should be absolutely no problem!
At this moment, the old man was facing the remaining few people.
His expression wasn’t as relaxed as imagined.
It was probably due to some reasons.
Unit 36 had arranged for elites to come this time.
And precisely because of this, they could only mobilize these six people.
The current situation was very complicated. Three of these six people,
including the old man, were transferred from the organization behind them.
Normally speaking, they wouldn’t participate in these struggles.
But now… Many things were indeed out of their control.
Yet, they still had to face it.
For instance, now.
Then… Their situation would definitely not be so easy.
Under such circumstances.
Naturally, many times, many things were already out of their control.
“Elder Liu, our people have already detected six groups of people on this train.
There are three groups of people in this carriage. Should we take action now?”
The one who spoke was the one who had protected Li Yidao previously.
When Elder Liu heard his voice, he pondered for a moment and shook his head.
“Wait.”
Just that single word.
The current situation was still unclear.
Unit 36 was considered to be in the open.
Because many people knew that they would definitely come.
To outsiders, the relationship between Unit 36 and Li Yidao was absolute.
At least in everyone’s eyes, they were in a honeymoon period.
Under such circumstances, everyone would have a subjective understanding of many things.
Therefore, they didn’t know whether the people they could investigate were actually all the forces on this train.
Under such circumstances… They naturally needed to wait a little longer.
After all, everyone was very quiet now. No one made a move, and no one targeted Li Yidao and his companions.
In that case, it would be irrational for them to make a move in advance and expose themselves completely in front of them!
They were indeed here to help!
However, it wasn’t here to attract firepower and aggro!
If they really became the first to stand out and were killed by the other forces first!
That would be a problem!
After all, if Li Vidao and his companions were in danger, they would definitely take action.
But what if they were in danger?
Would Li Yidao and his companions intervene?
This is unknown.
At least, they have no certainty!
If that was the case.
Naturally, they could only make such a choice.
After all, they had to ensure their own safety before they could complete their mission.
This was the most basic!
As time passed.
A day and a night went by.
In 24 hours, everything remained safe and sound.
Li Yidao and his companions had never left their compartment other than to go to the restroom!
But… In fact, they weren’t fools in these 24 hours.
The old man had long sensed the situation of the various organizations. Li
Yidao also relied on his own instincts.
And Death Investigation provided some information.
For example, the four people who switched compartments with them next door.
Perhaps they wanted to take advantage of the moment when Li Yidao and the others walked out to take a look at the situation in the compartment.
Naturally, Li Yidao saw it.
At the same time, the system notification came naturally.
Under such circumstances… It could be considered a coincidence that he knew about the information of the other party.
Hmm… People from Cherry Blossom.
He didn’t expect that after they hid behind the scenes for so long but eventually made a move!
Maybe… The other party’s attack had something to do with Li Yidao’s incident at the temple a few days ago, right?
It seemed to be the only plausible explanation.
As for the people from Unit 36.
Li Yidao and his companions understood even more.
Qi Yuqiang had already sent him a message, explaining Unit 36’s arrangements.
They expressed their goodwill.
For this person who had fought alongside him.
Li Yidao still showed some respect.
“Old man, are we just going to wait? Looking at these flies is really annoying.
Do you want me to directly kill them?”
Li Yidao believed that he had the capability to do so.
The people on the train didn’t have any top-notch strength.
He couldn’t understand why the people behind them arranged for them to board this train.
Why would they deploy these individuals to deal with Li Yidao and the others?
Was there any other benefit other than courting death?
However… Even though that was what he thought, he didn’t act rashly.
Who knew what other tricks the other party might have up their sleeves?
Moreover… What concerned Li Yidao and his group the most…
They were currently on a moving train.
Who knew if the other party might resort to desperate measures?
If that was the case, then… It was also a fatal threat to Li Yidao and the others.
Who knew what kind of harm it would cause in a passive situation?
They did indeed have some special abilities.
However, these abilities didn’t mean that their bodies were made of copper skin and iron bones, right?
He had enough means to deal with the crisis.
But it wouldn’t be fun if the others flipped the table and opted for mutual destruction!
They were all in the same boat. If the boat capsized, no one could escape.
That was why Li Yidao suggested that they should take the initiative and eliminate the opponents in advance!
Only under such circumstances could they ensure their safety!
However, the old master rejected it.
Not only that.
The old master smiled mysteriously and said, “Someone will help us deal with these small characters. You don’t have to worry. What you need to do now is to rest well.”
“When we get there, there will be almost no time to rest.”
“So don’t worry too much. You don’t have to worry about these things.”
“Take a look at the scenery around, feel it well.”
The old man’s words stunned Li Yidao.
He thought, “Someone will help us take care of them?”
Could it be that the old man was referring to Unit 36?
Qi Yuqiang had indeed said that Unit 36 had arranged for a special person to come over.
However… No matter how strong the other party is, according to Qi Yuqiang’s feedback, they didn’t have an absolute guarantee to block other forces. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have informed Li Yidao in advance, hoping that they could join forces with Unit 36.
The implication in their words was that if the opponent wanted to eliminate Unit 36 first, they hoped Li Yidao and his companions would take action and not stand idly by.
Li Yidao didn’t refuse.
No matter what the reason was, he had no reason to refuse!
But… What did the old man mean?
From what he said… It seemed that there was another group of people who were ready to take action at any time?
It seems to be on their side too?
Could this be…. Arranged by the old man?
