Chapter 383: A Fright Without Danger
The efficiency above was very high, one hundred pairs of underwear is not a large quantity, and by evening, someone had already sent them over.
The next day at noon, the group boarded the train and left the Capital City.
In the single sleeper.
This journey to the Capital City was very rewarding for Chen Shouyi. Not only did he gain honor, but his intellectual shortcomings were greatly compensated, and he never had to worry about the embarrassment of being naked after transforming again.
Except for the embarrassment during the Martial Arts Instructor assessment, of course.
Naturally, Chen Shouyi was completely unconcerned about these.
In his life, from childhood to adulthood, the number of embarrassing incidents is countless, he's long been numb to them.
For instance, every time after the mid-term exams, when the scores were made into a table and pasted on the classroom wall, he always just glanced at them once, never twice, quietly walked away, and wouldn't brag or ask classmates about their scores.
Chen Shouyi carefully folded a copy of Everyone's Daily and placed it in the layer of his briefcase.
He wondered if his parents could see it?
Although the article only praised Martial Artists for their contributions to interdimensional warfare, and just mentioned his and Ye Zong's names as typical cases, the Godslayer seemed not to be mentioned for some reason.
But if his parents saw it, they would definitely ask questions!
Moreover, even if they didn't see it, provincial media would surely publicize it, and there might even be someone interviewing them at home already.
"Oh, I hope Dad and Mom won't let slip all my childhood embarrassments, or my glorious image would be ruined."
Chen Shouyi sighed slightly, truly annoying!
In this society, wanting to modestly be a low-key person, why is it so difficult?
Can't I just live peacefully?
...
In the middle of the night, Chen Shouyi was suddenly awakened.
He opened his eyes, the train was still running normally.
He looked at his watch and found it was only one o'clock.
He closed his eyes and prepared to continue sleeping, but before he could lie down for a few seconds, he heard the sound of glass shattering in the distance. He suddenly got up from the bed and quickly got dressed.
Then he pulled open the curtains to look outside.
Before sleeping last night, it had already started raining.
At this moment, there was no starlight outside, pitch black, faintly there seemed to be numerous shadows flying in the air.
Suddenly another glass shattering sound came, accompanied by a woman's scream.
This time the sound was closer, seemingly not far from his carriage.
Chen Shouyi's expression changed slightly, with a wave of his hand, the long sword on the bed silently flew up and quickly landed in his hand.
"Find a corner to hide in, I'm going outside." Chen Shouyi said to the Shell Lady.
She was also awakened by the unusual sounds, but at this moment she couldn't puff herself up and was filled with fearful unease.
"Oh!" She bravely held back her fear and said obediently, "Good giant, come back early, protect little one!"
Chen Shouyi scoffed internally, now you know fear!
In the past two days, you grew bold enough to call me stupid giant all day.
"I'll be back soon!"
...
He opened the door.
In the dim and flickering light of the oil lamp, quite a number of people had already rushed to the corridor.
They were discussing in shock and panic.
"What happened?"
"I don't know! Seems like interdimensional birds are attacking the train!"
"How can there be so many?"
"Didn't you see we're in mountainous terrain!"
With his keen hearing, Chen Shouyi frequently heard glass shattering and screaming in the crowd, more and more people were waking up from their sleep, leaving the room, the surroundings were chaotic.
Then, not far away, a door suddenly opened.
A group of passengers screamed and ran out, followed by an interdimensional bird about the size of a hen. It flapped its wings frantically and fiercely pecked the back of a middle-aged woman falling behind, in just a few moments her back was bleeding profusely, bones faintly visible.
The crowd was instantly terrified and retreated madly, the already crowded corridor became completely blocked.
"Make way, let me through." Chen Shouyi was squeezed in the crowd, frowned, and shouted loudly.
Unfortunately, no one heard him.
Fortunately, not everyone on the train was ordinary. Just as Chen Shouyi was about to forcibly push through, a middle-aged Martial Artist immediately charged forward and killed the fierce bird with a single slash.
However, the middle-aged woman was already beyond help, she fell on the ground, blood everywhere, only left twitching intermittently.
Soon a train police officer quickly came over: "The train is accelerating to leave this area, everyone don't panic, ordinary people stand against the wall, don't block the way, Martial Artist Apprentice and Martial Artists coordinate with the police to protect passenger safety!
Now Martial Artist Apprentice and Martial Artists, all step forward for registration."
The whole country was almost in wartime status, most people even at factories had participated in some military training.
After the panic, rationality recovered, and order manifested.
All ordinary people immediately lined up along the aisle.
Chen Shouyi noticed one sleeper carriage with thirty or forty people had one Martial Artist and three Martial Artist Apprentices, the ratio was almost ten to one, incredibly high.
After registering the four people, it was finally Chen Shouyi's turn: "Name?"
"Chen Shouyi!"
"Level?"
"Martial Arts Instructor." Chen Shouyi said.
"I… I'm sorry, did you say you are a Martial Arts Instructor?" The train police officer nearly thought he misheard.
"This is my certificate!" Chen Shouyi took out the Martial Arts Instructor Certificate.
He was already used to such doubts, after all, he is young!
"No need, no need." The police officer quickly refused, not daring to take his certificate, suddenly remembering that indeed there was one Martial Arts Instructor on this train, unexpectedly it was him: "Mr. Chen, with you here, we are relieved, and hope during the journey, if there is danger, you can lend a helping hand promptly!"
"Of course, as I am on the train as well." Chen Shouyi put the Martial Arts Instructor certificate into his pocket, speaking politely.
The train police officer soon went to another carriage.
The surroundings suddenly became quiet.
Even the middle-aged Martial Artist who had just fiercely slashed the vicious bird was now extremely cautious, not daring to breathe heavily.
To ease the awkward atmosphere, Chen Shouyi smiled, politely said: "That was a good slash just now!"
"Not at all, senior, you flatter me." The middle-aged Martial Artist forced a stiff smile.
Chen Shouyi felt speechless hearing the other address him as senior.
Considering the other's age, he could call him uncle.
Shortly after, Zhang Miaomiao, Bai Xiaoling, and Zhao Ding quickly arrived, they were not in the same carriage as Chen Shouyi.
The three avoided the corpse and seeing Chen Shouyi, finally relaxed.
"How is it on your side?" Chen Shouyi asked.
"Two died, but fortunately killed in time, how come there are so many interdimensional creatures?" Bai Xiaoling said in lingering fear.
"Remote mountainous areas always have more interdimensional creatures." Chen Shouyi said.
Some are extremely rare in mountainous areas, even if there is a spatial passage, it is hard to detect. Especially during this period of human power weakening after the transformation, a large number of interdimensional creatures proliferated and rampant inside, completely unchecked.
Fortunately, the attacking creatures this time weren't very dangerous, and their numbers were limited.
During which, besides another fierce bird entering this carriage, which was instantly slashed by Chen Shouyi.
After that, there were no more attacks.
Half an hour later, the train left the mountainous area, and the alert was finally completely lifted.
Safe and sound in danger.
