When the note was handed out, the outside window suddenly became quiet.
A few women held the note, looking at each other, "We want to exchange for food and water."
The Little Box said gently, "Today this isnât a regular exchange window, we canât directly convert your items into supplies. This note has my signature on it; you can take it to car 27 and find the crew for a regular exchange of supplies."
"Can a little girl like you keep your word?"
An upturned-eyed woman smiled, her eyes full of skepticism.
Immediately, another woman chimed in, "No way, who knows if what youâre saying is true? These are new clothes we risked our lives to get from the city, many people died, and youâre taking them away with just a note?"
"Exactly, once your vehicle starts up and leaves, what are we supposed to do?"
"Yeah, last time they came, we could exchange, why canât we this time?! Also, my clothes arenât torn or damaged, why wonât you accept them, are you deliberately making things difficult for us?"
"Clearly, thereâs ill-intent!"
The womenâs voices became increasingly sharp, and the Little Box began to regret.
She shouldnât have meddled.
"Donât understand the rules, huh?"
Two flames suddenly appeared by the car window, Lin Jinâs icy face appeared behind the Little Box.
Feeling the warmth on her waist, the Little Boxâs panicked emotions suddenly calmed down.
Soldiers on guard from afar kept watching the situation here, upon hearing the commotion, they immediately dispatched a squad, striding over with guns held.
A patrol vehicle also approached.
The officer controlling the machine gun on the car roof saluted Lin Jin with a shoulder hammer, "Captain Lin!"
Then turned his sullen gaze toward the group of women outside the car, "Are these scavengers causing trouble?"
The originally chattering women suddenly became as docile as quails under the gun barrel.
They didnât even have the courage to argue.
Instead, they looked pleadingly at Lin Jin inside the carriage.
Finding him unmoved, they then looked at the Little Box.
The Little Box silently hid her head in Lin Jinâs embrace, avoiding looking at them.
After a series of events, Lin Jin was no longer the bewildered young man who had just been rescued from the zombie horde by the train conductor. He coldly stated, "Iâll give you two choices: either take the note to car 27 to exchange, or leave immediately. If you linger in place after thirty seconds, youâll be cleared as intruders."
Upon hearing these words, two officers sneered and shouted, "Prepare to shoot!"
The sound of soldiers pulling gun bolts made the womenâs legs weak, they couldnât care about anything else as they stumbled and fled outside.
Only then did Lin Jin relax his expression and nodded to the soldiers, pulling up the car window.
His little girlfriend had finally finished checking the clothes, he wouldnât retreat.
A noble Armed Corps Captain, did you think he was made of clay?
With his rank, if he wanted to lead his own team, he could deploy four officer squads and his squad, making a total of twenty-five well-trained, fully-armed Evolver soldiers. Not only them, but even the convoy behind them could be directly wiped out.
In a small place like Xinma County, he was the top-notch military warlord in control!
Wen Biao could meet the conductor because the conductor had something to ask him.
It doesnât mean Wen Biao is only slightly worse than the conductor.
Wen Biao, the convoy leader, actually holds power and resources barely on par with a Corps Second Lieutenant.
On the train, you can call me Captain Lin, outside, calling me dad wonât even matter to you.
"Itâs okay, itâs okay..."
Seeing the people leave, Lin Jin hurriedly comforted his little girlfriend.
The Little Box raised her head, feeling aggrieved, her eyes moist, her pitiful appearance shattered Lin Jinâs heart.
He wished he could drag those people back and execute them.
Even losing the path of evolution wasnât this aggrieving, yet after stopping in Xinma County for a few days, this bunch of bastards made her cry twice.
If Little Box hadnât been infuriated, the tailor shop here would be one of the open exchange windows as well.
