Yu-Gi-Oh!, the Roar of the Weak

Chapter 281 Bullet Express

“Reed, you bastard!” Allen roared into the phone, “Why did you give him the money? Wouldn’t that have given them money to buy food?”

“I did this to make him the target of everyone’s criticism, which is in line with the Dark Council’s plan, and,” Reed’s voice was extremely cold, “get your facts straight, Allen, you have no right to question me.”

"You bastard, you think you're so clever, you'll ruin our whole plan!"

"Ha, our plan? What benefit do we get from this plan?" Reed's tone was full of sarcasm. "You're just worried about not making enough money, aren't you? Don't worry, he's trapped in that Ghost Spring Pavilion and can't get out. You're not short of your ill-gotten gains."

"Black money? Damn it, Reed, which of our six families has clean money?"

"Really? At least my customers come voluntarily, unlike you and the Li family who practically prey on people. Well, you'd better watch yourself." Reed hung up the phone.

"Go to hell, oldmomey!"

Allen rudely hung up the phone. There was a hierarchy of contempt within the Hexagram family, and the Gaggle family, being the most unscrupulous of the six, was undoubtedly at the bottom. His own background made him the most despised member of the Gaggle family.

Allen recalled the skinny boy frantically rummaging through trash cans for food in a dark, damp alley. How much effort had he put in to climb to his current position? This battle absolutely could not be lost!

Fight is a must! Ta-ta-kai! One self-draw, ta-ta-kai! Without fighting, there is no survival! Sooner or later, he'll slice these disgusting bastards to pieces and feed them to the dogs.

Alan's obese body trembled violently as a terrifying hunger returned, a cry from the frail boy of the past. He then roughly shook the bell.

A chef shakily pushed a food cart in, and Allen yanked off the lid of the tray, revealing neatly arranged roasted bullfrogs.

Seeing the grilled bullfrog that looked like a bodybuilder, Allen's stomach churned, and a taste he never wanted to remember surged into his mouth.

That was the food that saved his life, and it was also the food he never wanted to eat again in his life.

"Get out! Take this damn thing out of here!" Allen roared. "Didn't I tell you I don't eat bullfrogs?"

The new chef, terrified, knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly. He then quickly got up, pushed the food cart, and ran out. Meanwhile, Allen leaned against the wall and began vomiting violently. In anger, he punched the wall.

No, I can't fucking lose. If I lose, everything I've done will have been for nothing. Allen frantically grabbed the receiver and dialed the number.

......

"Father, that scoundrel dared to insult you, should we..."

"Leidu, don't underestimate that fat pig. He climbed his way up from an illegitimate son who wasn't accepted by the Gaccau family to the head of the family, which is enough to show that he's no ordinary person. Also, when I said he eats people, I wasn't using any rhetorical device."

......

Di Xing and his group traversed the narrow tunnels. For safety, everyone left the Ghost Spring Pavilion, even the injured and immobile Aria was taken into Di Xing's possession.

Now, only the mischievous sprites remain as spectators. If anyone rushes into the Ghost Spring Pavilion, they will face the same fate as Di Xing and his companions when they first entered.

Furthermore, Di Xing had tampered with the game, materializing a [Gravity Axe - Roar] in the secret room of the Ghost Spring Pavilion. This time, it would be difficult to use magic cards like [Light Seal Sword] to deal with the Ghost Spirits. Just to be on the safe side, Di Xing also took their cards with him.

They currently rely on the spirit gems left in the Ghost Spring Pavilion to move around; if they encounter a danger they cannot resolve, they can return to their cards over a long distance.

After some time, Di Xing and his group finally emerged from the Iron Wasteland. Waiting for them there was Shi Xun, who had already dug a larger tunnel, and Kit and Vidy, who were still hammering and banging on a giant object.

"Kit, how's it going?"

Kit stopped what she was doing, pushed her goggles up, and said, "It's about 80% done, isn't it? The deadline you gave us was too tight."

"But Kit's skills are really amazing; I've learned a lot from her."

"Vivian, are you alright?" Di Xing asked with some concern. "You're not actually injured, are you? Is it really okay to give up the match?"

"It's alright. Now wasn't the best time for me to leave the fourth floor anyway, and the residents of the entire fourth floor are obviously more important than me personally."

Vivi said with a relaxed expression, the little grass hair accessory on her head swaying happily from side to side, but the tail drooped dejectedly. Di Xing felt a little sorry for this kind girl.

“Alright, that should work,” Kit looked up. “Now it’s time to witness a miracle, Vitty, come give me a hand.”

The two men grabbed the large tarpaulin covering the behemoth and ripped it off, revealing a tattered locomotive pieced together from scrap metal.

"Wow, that's amazing!" Dai Meng exclaimed, still carrying her large scythe.

"The role of engineering should not be underestimated!" Vitty said proudly, hands on her hips.

"This thing looks like it might fall apart at any moment, but can it actually be driven?"

"Don't you even look at the short deadline you gave us? You lousy client!"

"Yes, yes, I'll leave Xiaoying to you from now on."

Little Oriole haughtily turned her head to the side, waiting for her older sister to come find her.

Nami immediately guessed her younger sister's little scheme and took Xiaoying's hand, saying, "I'm entrusting this to you too, sister."

Xiao Ying immediately smiled happily and took out [Bullet Express] from her deck.

Di Xing inserted the card into the slot on the scrap metal locomotive, channeled his spirit power, and the Bullet Train card spirit immediately attached itself to the scrap metal train. A blue light stream covered the entire locomotive, and the train began to transform, instantly turning it into the Bullet Express – incredibly cool!

"It worked!" Di Xing shouted excitedly. This would greatly reduce the Spirit Power consumed by the materialized bullet train. He learned this trick from Captain Ace.

Others also materialized card spirits, attaching abandoned carriages to the locomotive. These carriages were then covered by the bullet train's card spirits and transformed into standard freight cars.

"Alright, everyone, let's go!"

Everyone boarded the bullet train, and with Kit excitedly pushing the forward lever, the bullet train sped into the large tunnel that Stone had dug. This tunnel led to the underground of the slag heap and from there directly to the outside of Duskwood.

The group rushed out of Duskwood at breakneck speed and arrived at the boundless but desolate continent outside Duskwood, heading towards that faint but real glimmer of life.

As the bullet train roared out of Duskwood, Dixing witnessed for the first time the desolate, post-apocalyptic landscape of Endertra.
