Reborn a Second Time
Chapter 3 On the High-Speed Rail
Mo Yu carefully drove the truck at a speed of 30 kilometers per hour into a dense grove of trees on a remote provincial highway and stopped.
He first released the electric scooter from his spatial storage, then put the Jiefang HanV, which was fully loaded with steel coils, back into his spatial storage. Only then did he ride the electric scooter to a deserted alley near a secluded subway station, put it away, put on the backpack he had prepared beforehand, and head towards the subway station.
Half an hour later, Mo Yu, covered in sweat, stood in the waiting hall of Yongcheng Railway Station, enjoying the cool breeze from the central air conditioning. Looking at the notification on her phone that her ticket purchase was successful, she felt like she had come back to life.
From Nanning to the capital, it's about 2,400 kilometers. If you were to drive yourself, even if everything went smoothly, it would take at least three days to get there without sleep. Not to mention the risks you would face along the way; it would be like dancing on a knife's edge.
From this perspective, Fatty Dong is a heartless and rotten bastard.
Before he awakened his spiritual wisdom, Mo Yu would never have earned this money, even if you beat him to death.
But after awakening her innate wisdom, Mo Yu became more open-minded about many things.
In her previous life, the survivor base where Mo Yu lived didn't have many people, only about a thousand.
Even so, the darkness he witnessed in his short life of less than twenty years in his previous life was something that most people in this peaceful era would never see in their entire lives.
It can be said that in the apocalypse, no food is easily obtained.
For a sip of clean water and a rough tortilla, everyone has to work hard and even risk their lives.
Of course, women have more choices than men.
Although there are no zombies in this world now, the principles remain the same.
To gain something, you must give something in return, so Mo Yu didn't hate Fatty Dong.
After all, it's something that requires mutual consent. If you're not willing, can he force you?
I took out my phone and checked the time. It was 11:33 a.m., and there was still some time before departure. So I quickly went to the fast food restaurant at the station entrance and slurped up a bowl of snail rice noodles before leisurely carrying my backpack through the security gate.
See, this is the advantage of having space.
If he were to drive that 9.6-meter-long Jiefang truck to Beijing, not only would he be unable to arrive on time, but he would also face various risks.
Even if everything goes smoothly, you can only earn a few thousand dollars in hard-earned money.
But now, he only needs to buy a high-speed rail ticket to the capital, sleep comfortably, and arrive at his destination in ten hours. After deducting the round-trip train ticket, he can make a net profit of 13,000 yuan, which is simply wonderful.
Get on the bus and take a seat
Mo Yu bought a second-class seat by the window. Opposite him sat a middle-aged couple in their fifties who looked like a married couple. The departure time was approaching, but the seat next to Mo Yu was still empty.
This also puzzled Mo Yu, because during this period, train tickets to the capital were in short supply, as evidenced by the fact that the carriages were already packed.
"If this guy really misses the departure time, he'll be at a huge loss," Mo Yu thought maliciously. Then she looked around again but still didn't see anyone coming.
Seeing Mo Yu looking around anxiously, the middle-aged woman sitting opposite him couldn't help but smile and ask, "Young man, are you waiting for a friend?"
"Ah...no."
Mo Yu shook her head and honestly said, "It's my first time taking the high-speed rail, so I'm a little curious. I just want to know, compared to a regular express train, where does the extra 800 yuan go?"
"Hehehe..."
The middle-aged couple across from them and the surrounding passengers all laughed.
After the laughter subsided, the middle-aged man smiled and said, "Actually, there isn't much difference between high-speed rail and express rail in terms of comfort and safety."
The reason why high-speed rail tickets are more expensive than regular express train tickets is simply because the manufacturing cost of the tracks and trains, as well as the amount of electricity used, are much higher. In addition, the travel time is more than ten hours shorter, which makes the tickets several times more expensive than regular express train tickets.
"Thank you for your explanation, Uncle. I have learned a lot," Mo Yu said formally.
Seeing that Mo Yu was not only good-looking but also very polite, the middle-aged man's liking for him deepened even further.
Just as they were about to continue speaking, they heard a soft sound of wheels hitting the ground. A girl was pushing a suitcase next to them. Although she had already checked the nameplate on the wall, she still politely asked Mo Yu.
"Hello, is this seat number 22?"
Mo Yu turned her head and was momentarily stunned by the girl's beauty.
The girl wasn't very tall, only about 1.63 meters, with a slender frame, making her look petite and delicate.
Because of the hot weather, the girl tied her long, black hair into a high bun, which exposed her features to the sunlight, revealing her full, white forehead.
What caught Mo Yu's eye the most was her neck, with its extremely long and elegant lines. Under the sunlight streaming through the car window, her skin was so white it was almost transparent, and you could even see the fine blue veins beneath it.
The beads of sweat slid down her temples, past the two deep creases on her collarbone, and finally disappeared into the pale yellow collar.
This petite feel is just like a ragdoll cat curled up on the windowsill in the afternoon, licking its paws.
Although she was amazed, Mo Yu, who had lived two lives, did not show it. Instead, she nodded slightly and said, "Yes, this is numbers 21 and 22."
"OK, thanks!"
After receiving an affirmative answer, the girl politely thanked him, then lifted her suitcase, raising her fair and slender arms high in an attempt to put it into the overhead luggage rack. However, because the rack was a bit high, she failed several times.
The girl bit her lower lip, her cheeks flushed red. She tried several times to push the suitcase onto the luggage rack, but due to her height and the weight of the suitcase, her wrists trembled and the suitcase wobbled precariously. Sweat dripped from her forehead down her slender swan neck and into the groove between her collarbones.
Mo Yu, unable to bear watching any longer, spoke up: "Is it difficult to put up? Do you need a hand?"
Hearing the sound, the girl, who was panting heavily, turned her head.
Fine beads of sweat clung to her small, delicate nose, and a few strands of her hair, damp with sweat, clung to her cheeks. Seeing Mo Yu's clear, concerned eyes, she smiled sweetly: "Okay... thank you..."
Just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief and move aside, a tall figure suddenly darted out from the side.
"Beautiful lady... let me help you!"
With a loud voice, the person rushed to the girl's side, snatched the suitcase from her hands without saying a word, lifted it high, and stuffed it into the luggage rack.
The girl gasped and jerked her hand back as if she'd been electrocuted.
Due to inertia, she staggered back half a step and plopped down in the direction of Mo Yu.
Before Mo Yu could even process what was happening, her body reacted first.
He subconsciously reached out and wrapped his arm around her, his palm resting against her slender yet supple waist. Through the thin summer clothes, he could clearly feel her astonishing heat.
"ah!"
The girl let out a soft gasp, her whole body stiffening like a startled fawn.
Mo Yu quickly exerted a little force to support the girl, who then used her waist to steady herself. With just this brief contact, Mo Yu could feel the girl's amazing resilience and coordination.
The young man who had caused the trouble was completely unaware of what was happening. Instead, after putting his suitcase away, he came over and smiled, saying, "The luggage is all put away. Is this a good arrangement?"
Although the girl was somewhat displeased, out of politeness, she forced a smile and nodded, "Okay... thank you."
"You're welcome."
The young man seemed oblivious to how forced the girl's smile was, and continued to approach her, bombarding her with questions: "Excuse me, are you traveling alone? Are you going to the capital too? It must be tiring carrying such heavy things in this heat. How about I help you with your things after we get off the bus?"
After speaking, the young man leaned forward again, clearly exceeding the safe range of social distancing, but he was completely unaware of it, and the hot breath he exhaled was almost hitting the girl's forehead.
The girl was cornered by him and could only clutch her small handbag tightly, her legs together, and desperately try to shrink her body towards the car window to create some distance.
Her eyes darted away, and her voice was filled with obvious nervousness and resistance: "Um... no need to trouble yourself, I can manage on my own."
"Eh... how is this troublesome? I often take this train to the capital. Judging from your age, you must be a student, right? Which school do you go to?"
Seeing the young man getting closer and closer, and then seeing the girl who was clearly frightened and shrinking back, Mo Yu, who originally didn't intend to meddle, couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but say, "Excuse me, if you really want this girl's contact information, you can ask her for it after you get off the bus."
The train is about to leave, so you should go back to your seat. Can't you see everyone is watching you?
"you!"
The young man was taken aback when he heard this, then turned his head and looked around, only to find that many people around him were looking at him, and some even secretly raised their phones.
Upon seeing this, the lust-driven young man instantly calmed down and realized that his actions had indeed been abrupt. In a few minutes, a video titled "Modern High-Speed Rail Pervert" might trend on Douyin or even Xiaohongshu, and he would be in real trouble.
Thinking of this, he reluctantly sat back down in his original seat.
Seeing the young man leave, the girl breathed a sigh of relief, patted her ample chest, and smiled sweetly at Mo Yu: "Thank you, classmate."
The young lady's smile was captivating; Mo Yu was once again stunned by her radiant smile. Not only was she exceptionally beautiful, but when she smiled with her eyes narrowed, she exuded a natural, charming cuteness that made one want to hold her in their arms and comfort her.
"You're welcome, it's my pleasure."
The young woman sized Mo Yu up and down: "Are you going to study in the capital?"
Mo Yu shook her head: "No... I'm going there to work."
"work to earn a living?"
The young woman paused for a moment, then looked him up and down. "Judging by your age, you should have just graduated high school or be a freshman in college. Why are you working here already?"
"Really, I'm not lying to you."
"I just finished the college entrance exam... I plan to go to the capital to work and earn some living expenses before school starts," Mo Yu said honestly.
"Working to earn a living?"
Now, not only the young woman, but even the middle-aged couple opposite her showed curiosity.
The young woman asked curiously, "Just out of curiosity, what kind of job pays so well that you'd travel all the way from Nanning to the capital to work there?"
Mo Yu thought for a moment and answered seriously, "Does moving bricks count?"
“Puff…”
Seeing Mo Yu's serious expression, everyone, including the young lady and the middle-aged couple opposite, burst out laughing.
