Survival on a Bus: School Beauty Sisters Beg for a Place to Stay

"..."

If Lin Mo hadn't fired, if he hadn't so decisively shot the monster disguised as her sister, Pu Mengnan would definitely have suspected that this man was taking advantage of her position as the conductor who had the right to choose passengers, and that he was using his gun to act like a thug and take advantage of her.

But when she saw that the blood flowing from her sister's wound was an eerie green, and when she saw that Lin Mo had been staring at her with a cold and wary expression the whole time, she chose to believe him without hesitation.

Her name is Pu Mengnan. She wasn't lying; she was indeed a player who had traveled through time. She never expected that her sister, who had been with her in this godforsaken place for over half an hour and was exactly the same as her in appearance, personality, and habits, was actually a monster in disguise.

Fortunately, the imposter is now dead.

Otherwise, Pu Mengnan didn't even dare to imagine what terrifying things would happen if she got on the bus with the imposter.

Although she already knew that Lin Mo's request for her to undress for inspection was only out of caution, Pu Mengnan still felt reluctant and embarrassed to strip naked in front of a strange man.

But she knew very well that if she couldn't completely reassure Lin Mo and dispel his doubts, even if he didn't shoot her, he would definitely not let her get on the bus. At that point, she would probably be roasted to death by the scorching sun before she even got on the next bus.

Thinking of this, Pu Mengnan no longer cared about being shy or reserved. She gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and endured the shame. She ruthlessly took off the already wet and uncomfortable dress, then spread her arms wide with a flushed face, bit her lip, and spun around in place.

"Is that okay...?"

Her voice trembled, her pleading tone tinged with anxiety, as if she wanted to give him a quick and painless death.

"Take it off again."

When those two cold words reached her ears, Pu Mengnan's tightly closed eyes suddenly snapped open, and her expression instantly changed from unbearable shame to astonishment, even showing a hint of anger.

"You...you just want to see if there are any monster marks on my body, isn't that enough?"

"You can take another look at your fake sister's corpse before making a decision."

Lin Mo's words startled Pu Mengnan, but she still turned her head to look at the corpse on the ground. After just one glance, she stopped talking, suppressing her inexplicable sense of humiliation, and obediently removed the last burden from her body.

It turns out that the fake sister's corpse had quietly reverted to its original monstrous form, a bizarre creature with pale skin, blood-red eyes, and sharp teeth, resembling a hairless monkey.

Lin Mo did not feel any pity or soften his heart even though Pu Mengnan's face was red with shame and her eyes were full of resentment as she stared at him. He not only looked at her, but looked at her very carefully, his eyes wandering over Pu Mengnan and examining her, not treating her as a woman at all.

"Nice figure, get in the car."

Finally, after checking almost every inch of Pu Mengnan's body and confirming that there was no problem, he turned around, went back to the driver's seat, opened the door, and let Pu Mengnan into the car.

Even so, he still kept the gun within easy reach.

Since it has been confirmed that fake passengers can be shot, it means that even if the driver misjudged and put someone on the bus, there is still a chance to kill them.

Only after Pu Mengnan had finished dressing and sat down behind Lin Mo did Lin Mo, who had already started the car and driven off, slowly speak:

"Tell me, what are the rules for passengers? Don't try to lie to me. You should know that the conductor has the right to decide whether to admit or remove passengers, and you cannot disobey the conductor."

"..."

Pu Mengnan was not used to, or rather disliked, Lin Mo's domineering attitude, but she knew that she was under someone else's roof and was restricted by the rules, so she had no chance to resist. In the end, she could only obediently state the rules that belonged to passengers.

Lin Mo roughly compared the rules with those of the train conductor.

In reality, they are all pretty much the same, and there are no rules that deliberately incite conflict between passengers and drivers. The only noteworthy rule is that if a driver forcibly collects more than half of the revenue from passengers, the passengers can vote to remove the driver, but only if there are more than five people and the vote is unanimous.

It's no wonder that the rules Lin Mo received before allowed him to charge passengers for their rides, but advised against being overly greedy.

Although the reminder was ambiguous, at least the system did send a reminder; it all depends on whether the train conductor acts responsibly.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Mo finally spoke.

"From now on, I'll charge you 20% of your daily earnings."

Although Lin Mo could theoretically charge up to 49 percent, if that were the case, even if the passengers couldn't resist, they would still feel resentful, because they could choose to get off the bus themselves, or slack off when the bus driver's life was in danger, or even incite other drivers to target their own driver.

So it would be foolish not to accept it.

However, it should be done within the limits that passengers can accept, and not go too far.

"Um......"

As expected, Pu Mengnan readily agreed without any objection and felt that the condition was reasonable. Her previously anxious heart was relieved.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Mo asked Pu Mengnan to be responsible for cleaning the bus before picking up the next passenger. Pu Mengnan agreed to this. As the two chatted and got to know each other, she was no longer as awkward as before. So she asked Lin Mo how he had accurately judged that her fake sister was an imposter.

"It's just my intuition. Men and women like different things. Whether it's watching videos or binge-watching dramas, the focus is different depending on the gender. That's why we men can answer some historical questions off the top of our heads, while you women are completely clueless. Like when the Japanese surrendered, you forgot and were completely confused at the time, unable to recall anything at all, but your sister answered without hesitation and even got it right. Isn't that suspicious?"

"Well......"

As expected, Pu Mengnan was taken aback again.

But soon he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Okay, I didn't expect that this method could be used to distinguish between real and fake passengers. But have you considered what if she just happens to actually know? Wouldn't that mean killing the wrong person?"

She had originally thought that Lin Mo would think about how to answer.

Unexpectedly, without thinking, this guy casually replied with a sentence that sent chills down her spine.

"So what if I killed the wrong person? It's better than me dying myself."

This immediately silenced Pu Mengnan.

Lin Mo ignored her and continued driving the bus while also opening the driver's chat channel.

You won't be surprised if you don't look, because once you do, you'll be shocked.

The regional channel, which originally had a thousand train drivers, now has only four hundred left. More than half of them died in the first wave of passenger pick-up. The chat content is mostly cursing the unreliable information provided by the radio, but there is also some useful information. Several trains only realized something was wrong after letting people into the train and immediately killed them. This proves that even if there is a mistake, as long as you have time to pick up a weapon, there is still a chance to fight back.

Of course, some train conductors offered methods to distinguish between real and fake passengers, such as asking questions that violated common sense about gender differences, like Lin Mo did. For example, they would thoroughly examine the eyes, saying that fake passengers' eyes were not as bright as real people's, and some would cut the eye to check the color of the blood. Anyway, Lin Mo just looked and didn't say anything, ignoring most of the so-called experience.

For example, let's cut it open first.

That's right. The monster's blood looks green, but Lin Mo killed one himself. Pu Mengnan was too scared to notice at the time, but he saw it very clearly. At first, the fake sister's blood was actually red. It wasn't until the monster died and could no longer pretend that the blood had turned green.

This is why Lin Mo didn't directly ask Pu Mengnan to cut her finger for a blood test.

He had already guessed that when the monsters were disguised as passengers, the blood test results were red and useless; only when they died or removed their disguises would the blood turn back to its original green.

"Lin Mo, look, there's a gas station up ahead..."
