Chapter 632 - 304 Ambush_2
Lin Wu continued to wander after taking the revolver and ten bullets, because there might still be one hidden among them.
How to distinguish players from NPCs? Besides the important NPCs with green text, theoretically, it cannot be done. However, since everyone is wearing clothes, one can often identify their role based on the style of clothing in relation to the game or event’s setting. The clothing of the remaining eight passengers all matched the game background and fit them well.
Maya tried to make small talk with each of the remaining eight passengers, using her knowledge of the Western cowboy setting, and ultimately confirmed that they were all NPCs.
The sky started to darken, candles were lit in the corridors and compartments, and Lin Wu drew the curtains in all the passenger cars. With half an hour left until dinner time, Lin Wu climbed onto the flatcar from the back of the passenger car.
Perhaps due to the shielding of the carriages, the wind on the flatcar wasn’t strong, but it was still not suitable for candles. Lin Wu sat in the corner of the flatcar, enveloped in darkness, and with his Stealth ability, it would be difficult for Nightmare and their group to detect his presence even if they came close.
With Wai by his side, Lin Wu wasn’t worried about Nightmare and their group approaching without his notice. As for what mode of transportation Fortress agents would use to ambush him, Lin Wu had no idea.
Maya was more optimistic in her view; she believed that within 24 hours, the Fortress agents would not take action against the Orient Express. After all, why squeeze a durian when there are soft persimmons available? Lin Wu thought otherwise; he believed that Nightmare and Blood Meng would act out of revenge to retaliate for him raiding their safe house.
After Nightmare betrayed the plan to assassinate Lin Wu and aided in the counterattack, Lin Wu learned why Nightmare wanted to kill him: simply because his attributes were high and his skills were good, making him feel threatened. This event was an opportunity for Nightmare to get rid of him once and for all, and he wouldn’t pass up the chance.
