Chapter 355 - All the Demons Had Suffered Enough of Vigilante A (1/2)

One dawn in the summer, the first rays of sun spilled onto a deserted factory in the east of Qi City.

White light flashed on the steel bars full of rust, waste materials mounded on the ground with no one to clean them up.

Train tracks used to transport goods were left in the factory, displaying several old red or blue locomotives, unattended.

It was a steelworks that was stopped several years ago due to the local authority wanting to upgrade the city.

They had wanted to use the Eastern Pharos’ name recently to develop the land into a new apartment residence building. The land was already auctioned out to its new landlord.

However, because of the moon crashing saga, no one had the heart to buy a house…

The project was left alone after that, it even almost disabled a huge real estate company.

Due to that, the cleaning up of the old factory was stopped.

The real estate industry was heavily affected. Even Qi City which housed the Pharos and was having a steady growth had its fair share of sharply falling transaction volume.

In the recent months, the transaction volume sometimes stopped at single digits.

All the citizens understood. If they had bought a house now, they would not be compensated when the flood comes.

Qi City was not very close to the sea, but it was not that far either, so it was a little awkward.

A group of fearless people took the opportunity to buy some nice houses that were on sale.

Even in times like this, choices that people make were different.

In crises, some people see dangers, while others see opportunities.

Right now, the old factory was filled with people.

A golden train appeared on one of the lengthy tracks, slowly making its way from afar.

People crowded about five meters away from the tracks, waiting for the train to arrive impatiently.

In front of them, a large number of men-in-black patrolled, keeping the order. Occasionally, they would push the citizens who crossed the safety line back.

There were people of all ages in the line. Most of them, however, were young adults.

The only thing they all had in common was that they were carrying heavy backpacks or oversized luggage.

Their faces were grim with a sliver of hope. Around them were some old people and children.

A middle-aged man in black robe smiled slightly as he stood by himself away from the crowd.

No one seemed to be able to see him as gazes glossed over where he stood, continuing their own conversation.

“I hear the Venerable Dragon God was hiring with limited admission. How did you all get in?”

“Oh, my local Special Affairs Department sent me the recruitment notice. With the Venerable One and the Special Affairs Department working together, I believe they wouldn’t delay paying us our wage.”

“Similar. Where are you from?”

“I’m from Xu City, you?”

“Lan City, we live so far apart.”

“Isn’t it? I don’t even know what the criteria for admission are. I’m just a normal man who just wants to earn an honest living.”

“Same, I just got fired, I don’t wanna talk about it.”

The people discussed among themselves and immediately found the similarities between them.

None of them were recruited by regular means. They were chosen mysteriously and decided to heed the call after they saw the offer letter.

Not only that, they all simultaneously just wanted to earn an honest living…

Their biggest reason to heed the call was surprisingly similar as well: One, the reward was rich; Two, security.

The world would be descending into chaos soon. Security would be more valuable than gold and silver.

The golden train screeched to a halt before the door slowly opening.

Special Affairs Department staffers ordered the crowd to board the train in an orderly manner.

They were all honest people. All of them followed obediently.

At the same time, huge spiritual machines were parked and lined up not far away.

Right beside the machines, building materials were gathered and piled up into huge heaps.

Just by looking at the amount of the materials and machines gathered, it seemed apparent that the train could not fit them in.

However, some people noticed that a few doors on the back of the train opened and devoured all the machines and building materials like black holes.

The cars completely defied the laws of physics. They were like the artifacts oft-told in myths and legends that can store an unlimited amount of items and carry people.

“Wow, it’s really different from the world before.”

Sighing, many people let out their musings.

Even though everyone had seen enough of supernatural events in the past year, they were still shaken when they witnessed the scene.

‘This golden train is just like the Purple-Gold Calabash of Taishang Laojun 1 in Journey to the West, isn’t it?’

An hour later, everyone and everything had boarded the train.

The golden train was started up again, slowly at first, then disappearing into the void soon after.

The men-in-black finally sighed after the completion of the operation.

In the days prior to this, they had worked very hard to be able to arrive at this moment when the first batch of people and materials were successfully carted away in a long golden train.

In correspondence, a large amount of gold was taken away from a certain person.

All Fang Ning did was giving a suggestion he had imagined to work.
