“Clatter, clatter, clatter…”
The train started moving.
The ventilation holes finally brought in fresh air, making the smell much more pleasant.
The train cabin was heavily armored, making its speed not particularly fast, Leonard Churchill estimated it was only about fifty to sixty kilometers per hour.
If he jumped off the train, it probably wouldn’t kill him.
At this moment, it was chaos in the 15th cabin. Please visit fr𝐞𝐞w𝒏.𝒸𝑜𝔪 website to read fastest update
For the treasure hunters who risked their lives to earn money, there was no better entertainment than gambling and women.
“Come on, one more flower card and I’ll hit twenty!
“Bankrupt the dealer! Bankrupt the dealer! Bankrupt the dealer!
A table had been cleared for a high-spirited poker game with dozens of hunters gathered around it.
They were playing a card game, something similar to the Blackjack from his previous life.
Among the gamblers, Leonard Churchill, wearing a half-face gas mask, was placing his bets.
He was cursing when he lost money, and his face turned red with excitement when he won.
No matter whether they knew each other or not, as long as it involved money, the gamblers quickly became familiar with each other.
He had originally had no interest in this kind of petty gambling.
The reason he participated so enthusiastically was not only that he wanted to blend with the crowd but most importantly to disguise that he didn’t have a seat or companions, to avoid attracting attention.
As Leonard Churchill gambled, he observed his surroundings and set up some preventive measures in the meantime.
The cabin was very noisy.
The hunters’ conversations were filled not only with lewd jokes but also valuable bits of information.
And Leonard Churchill was listening with interest.
“Hey, Old Christ, I heard you got into a jackpot in an abandoned warehouse in
the Demon’s Crossing Eastern Suburbs a few days ago.”
The more sensitive his sense of smell was, the more he suffered on this tram.
After merely searching through eight carriages, he felt as though he was being suffocated by the stench.
Ordinary people could only smell the stink, but after his transformation, he could discern hundreds of different kinds of foul odors. From the smell of decaying food stuck between teeth to days-old body odor, to the smell of shit on people’s shoes, to the stench of viral infections…
But the smell was only part of the problem.
There were other issues that were even more frustrating!
Who in Sinless City didn’t have some kind of secret?
There were a lot of heavy hitters.
Even if the Blackwater Mercenary Group carried some weight, if they ticked off those guys, they’d still get beaten up.
The only slightly reliable piece of intel, however, was that their target was a Card Master Apprentice.
That did manage to narrow down the suspects significantly.
Old Dog felt that he was going to be suffocated.
He’d spent two hours going through just eight cabins, and although he found many suspicious people, none of them were the ones he was looking for.
There were still eight carriages left!
But his other teammates had also been through the carriages multiple times with no success, and the group leader was becoming more and more anxious. After muttering a curse, he didn’t dare to complain and continued searching forward.
Finally, he arrived at the fifteenth carriage.
Meanwhile, Leonard Churchill was still bustling about in the crowd, gambling enthusiastically.
He had, of course, noticed several groups of people passing by over the past few hours, all of whom seemed to be covertly searching for someone.
But all of them without exception ignored Leonard Churchill, submerged in the crowd of gamblers.
There were probably around four to five thousand people on the train, including quite a few solitary travelers; how easy could it be to find him who’d already blended in with the gamblers?
If he hadn’t been found by now, it meant that the information the other side had wasn’t much.
It seemed that this train ride would last another ten hours, and he would be much safer once he got off the train in a few more hours.
Leonard Churchill heaved a sigh of relief in his mind.
The reason he had chosen the fifteenth carriage was that it was near the tail end of the train.
He’d already checked it out; if he could get the key to the sixteenth cabin from the train administrator, he could open the rear door of that cabin and have the possibility of jumping off the train..
