Life Dungeon Game

How did you discover that the car was 'alive'?

He asked softly.

"It..." The blonde woman paused for a moment as usual, then glanced at the roof of the car with some fear.

"After I got on the bus, I didn't take the access card right away; instead, I wanted to get off."

"When we entered the tunnel, I didn't go back to the compartment immediately. Then I saw... the roof and the corridor were wriggling like snakes... I was terrified. It felt like I was running inside the belly of a giant snake."

“I ran into the compartment and stayed there for a long time, my heart pounding the whole time. I didn’t open the door even when I heard you getting on the bus… After you got on, we went through another tunnel… and that’s when I finally calmed down.”

This basically explains the cause and effect.

“Hmm,” Heo pushed open the door connecting the carriage to the dining car, “As far as we’re concerned, as long as we follow the rules, we won’t be attacked.”

"Ah."

The blonde woman nodded cautiously.

“By the way, I don’t know your name yet,” He Ao introduced himself slowly. “My name is Hao Yi.”

"My name is Jin Ya."

The blonde woman paused for a moment before slowly replying.

"Jin Ya, this name sounds very Chinese."

He Ao casually remarked that Jin Ya's pronunciation sounded very similar to that of the Middle Kingdom.

Then he looked to the other side behind him.

Lin Chichi had already walked to the carriage door where she had boarded the train. She pushed it hard, checked the lock, and then walked back to He Ao, saying with some disappointment, "Brother Hao Yi, the door is locked."

"Ah."

He Ao nodded to indicate that he understood.

This was what he expected.

"Is that so...? Maybe after I get out... I can go to Middle-earth to play."

At this moment, Jin Ya finally realized what was happening. She nodded slightly, seemingly expectant.

The three of them continued walking into the dining car without stopping.

The dining car was simply furnished. To the left of the entrance was a long, narrow, private room; the rest of the space was completely...

Small dining tables covered with tablecloths were neatly arranged.

He Ao's gaze first fell on the small compartment, which seemed to be enclosed by two partition walls along one corner of the carriage.

The partition wall directly opposite the food cart door is rather narrow, with a small door on it. This door doesn't have an electronic lock; it just has a regular doorknob.

He Ao went up and tried to turn the knob, but couldn't open it; the door seemed to be locked from the inside.

The three continued inside, going around the narrow wall.

A slightly longer wall appeared in front of the three of them on the other side of the cubicle, and this wall was decorated in a much more upscale style than the narrow wall they had just seen.

Besides the surface decorations, a long, silver bar counter, about a meter high, leans against this wall.

The bar counter is about the same length as the wall and about 30 centimeters deep. In the center of the bar counter, against the wall, there is a square opening about 40 centimeters long and wide in the thick partition wall.

Looking into the room through the food pick-up window, you can see a small silver table behind the pick-up window, which seems to be where the chef places the food.

Just as He Ao and the others were staring at the small platform, a hand wearing a white glove suddenly reached out and pressed down on the platform.

"what!"

Lin Chichi was clearly startled.

He Ao quickly realized what was happening.

This hand probably belongs to the 'chef' of this food truck.

He Ao was curious to see what the chef looked like, but judging from the way the 'kitchen' was set up, it seemed they didn't want people to know what the kitchen was like inside.

This 'chef' may not even be a person.

As He Ao pondered, a somewhat deep and hoarse voice rang out through the speaker on the roof of the dining car.

"The menu is on the table. Please order whatever you would like to eat."

"Ah! That hand!"

At this moment, Jin Ya suddenly took half a step back.

That's a rather long reaction time...

He Ao shook his head and looked at Lin Chichi.

The food cart had seven small tables neatly arranged, each with two chairs.

These chairs are not fixed in place; they're perfect for smashing windows.

Lin Chichi nodded slightly to He Ao, then casually picked up a chair and smashed it against the glass next to her.

She wasn't very strong; she hit the frame twice, and it made a sound, but the glass wasn't damaged at all.

Kim Ah, standing to the side, took out a hairband and tied up her fluffy blonde hair. Then she picked up a chair and smashed it against the glass, but still couldn't budge it an inch.

He Ao also picked up a chair, walked to the other side, and with just a little force, smashed it against the glass with a bang.

With a snap, the chair bent completely, while the glass remained undamaged.

Lin Chichi, who was catching her breath after smashing the chair a couple of times, saw this scene. She glanced at the bent chair in He Ao's hand, then at her own chair, which didn't even have a scratch on the paint, and swallowed hard. "So impressive..."

He Ao ignored Lin Chichi's sentiments and instead stared at the chair in his hands.

At this moment, the bent chair is slowly recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if it has its own life.

Sure enough, everything in this car possessed some kind of 'life'...

Then he looked at the glass that had just been smashed. The glass was spotless, and the beautiful scenery behind it was still clearly visible.

The force he used was enough to deform the partition wall of the cubicle, but it still couldn't budge the glass in the slightest.

It seems that the vehicle's outer shell is much stronger than its internal walls.

It's very difficult to break through the defenses of this outer wall.

It seems that even the very center of the vortex isn't so easy to stay in.

"Your cubicle is number five..."

Just as the group was smashing the wall, a gentle voice speaking Tia suddenly came from outside the dining car.

Lin Chichi froze for a moment. She glanced out the window and suddenly realized that the scenery around her had frozen in place.

The car has stopped!

She rushed towards the dining car door, crossed the connecting area, and looked towards the rear door of the carriage.

The car door had been closed again at that moment.

At this moment, He Ao also came over. When he saw the closed car door, a sense of understanding flashed through his mind.

This car can affect the thinking of the people inside, making them 'unaware' that the car has stopped.

It's understandable if one or two people didn't notice, but the fact that none of the three of them noticed is beyond coincidence.

He Ao shifted his gaze to the 'new passenger' who had just received the access card. The man was a young man with brown, curly hair, dark skin, wearing a plaid shirt, and slightly hunched over.

"interesting,"

He looked at the access card in his hand, flipped through it with interest, and said in Tia, "Is this some newly developed tourist route? And it's free?"

At the same time, he looked up at He Ao and Lin Chichi who were walking over.

At that moment, Lin Chichi rushed too fast and blocked He Ao's path.

The man's gaze fell on Lin Chichi almost immediately. "Oh, what a cute little girl."

His gaze was aggressive as he looked Lin Chichi up and down, making no attempt to hide his desire.

Lin Chichi actually has a great figure, with a slim waist and long legs. Although she is not tall, her proportions are perfect. She has the kind of figure that would make her walk the runway in high heels.

Seeing the gaze of the person in front of her, Lin Chichi, though unable to understand what he was saying, still subconsciously took two steps back and carefully tugged at He Ao's sleeve, "Brother Hao Yi..."

As she stepped back, the men's gazes immediately fell upon He Ao.

"Hey kid, is this your girlfriend?"

The man smiled at He Ao, casually put away the access card in his hand, then pulled out a small pistol from his pocket and pressed it against He Ao's chest. "Lend me your girlfriend for a couple of days?"

As he spoke, his gaze swept over Jin Ya behind He Ao, and then fell on Jin Ya's chest. "You're quite the ladies' man, aren't you? Can I borrow that one for a couple of days? The three of us together, I like that."

Lin Chichi turned pale with fright when she saw the other party suddenly pull out a gun. She tugged at He Aoyi's sleeve and said, "Brother Hao Yi, what did he say? If it's not too unreasonable, we can agree to it."

He Ao didn't say anything. He hadn't seen such an arrogant person in a long time, and he was a little unaccustomed to it.

"Hey, look, your girlfriend agreed? Looks like she's really looking forward to spending a wonderful night with me."

The man chuckled and pressed the gun against He Ao's chest, pushing him forward in an attempt to force He Ao to back away, but He Ao remained unmoved.

He took a deep breath.

She used two fingers together to deflect the man's gun barrel.

“You Central Asians,” the man said, pressing the gun, which had been deflected, back against Heo’s chest, “are just despicable…”

He Ao shifted his body to the side, grabbed the gun with his left hand and pulled it back, snatching the pistol. Then, with his right hand, he slapped the man hard across the cheek.

Snapped--

A thunderous, crisp sound rang in everyone's ears.

The man was sent flying by the slap, crashing through several small tables and into a huge glass window, his blood-stained teeth flying out.

The blood splattered on the clean floor, then gradually faded and seeped into the floor.

"If you're afraid to shoot, don't try to play with guns."

He Ao stepped forward, stood in front of the man, released the safety of the pistol in his hand, then kicked back with his left foot, and gently pushed the slide of the pistol against his heel with his left hand, chambering the gun.

He raised the gun and pointed it at the man. "Who's the bastard?"

The man looked up, and the left side of his face swelled up at a visible speed.
