Xu Anran looked at her notes, thought for a moment, and asked, "There's one more thing. You said you used to be a passenger, but later settled in this world. How did that happen?"

Li Yugang replied, "I used to be with a guild team. At that time, the guild found a world that had just evolved from a primary to a higher level. The guild leader gathered all the teams in the guild to come to this world. Everyone joined forces with the government to resist the disaster and rebuilt a new world. Since then, everyone has stayed in this world and no longer needs to take the train. But at the same time, the disappearance of the disaster also caused our superpowers to disappear, and even everything we had that did not conform to the logic of this world would disappear."

Xu Anran then asked, "What was the original calamity of this world?"

"This world was originally a primary world. Before our guild arrived, it experienced floods, extreme heat, and extreme cold. After the extreme cold passed, everything revived, and people thought the disaster was over and they had been reborn. But this didn't last long. The plants here mutated and it became a higher-level disaster world."

"Then how did your guild know that this is a newly ascended higher world?"

"I'm not too sure about that either. When the guild leader got the news, he organized all the teams in the guild to come here. At that time, I was still a newcomer, having just become a high-class passenger not long ago. This is the third high-class world I've been to."

"My first disaster in a higher world was the spiritual resurgence, where I awakened my fire-based abilities. After that, I went with my team to a radiation disaster world, and finally, this is where I am."

"I haven't been to many higher worlds, but I've heard that there's a kind of disaster that no passenger wants to encounter. If you encounter this disaster, you're almost certainly going to die, or even die ten times over."

"What disaster?"

"The supernatural, or rather, the bizarre disaster. I hope I won't encounter it."

The two chatted for a long time, until late at night, when Li Feng was so sleepy he could barely keep his eyes open before they finally ended the conversation.

While Xu Anran calmly awaited the occurrence of this world catastrophe, Xiaoyue and the chubby boy left their home planet G12.

After they separated, Xiaoyue and the chubby boy got along very well. The chubby boy already had a younger sister in his original world, and he treated Liu Yue like his own sister. So, with only 24 hours left on the train ticket countdown, Liu Yue decided to leave with the chubby boy.

Together they traveled to the next world—Star G12. There, they rented a house, stockpiled supplies, and awaited the disaster. One day, they were watching the news together inside. Suddenly, the ground began to shake, and the shaking intensified. The chubby boy and Liu Yue grabbed their prepared emergency backpacks, put them on, and then the chubby boy carried Liu Yue on his back and quickly ran downstairs.

After the two went downstairs and found the prepared RV, they heard a loud crash and turned around to see their building collapse. The chubby boy and Liu Yue drove off, reaching a camping park. When they arrived, a large crowd had already gathered; the authorities had organized the people and set up a temporary shelter there.

They settled in here with the officials, quickly found train tickets, and everything went smoothly.

That morning, Liu Yue was eating and packing in the car; they could go to the waiting room that evening. Suddenly, the chubby boy ran in, telling Liu Yue to take the golden backpack and run with him.

The two ran to a secluded hut to hide. Outside, chaos erupted; cries for help and the sound of gunfire filled the air. Xiaoyue nervously tugged at Xiaopang's clothes and whispered, "Brother Pang, what's going on outside?"

The chubby boy explained, "I was fixing something in the monitoring room when I saw a group of people come in outside. They all had weapons and started fighting with the person who opened the door. When I saw that things were going badly, I quickly ran and hid you with me."

"Will they find us?" Xiaoyue asked, a little worried.

The chubby boy comforted him, "It should be fine. The house I found is small and in a secluded location. Besides, we can leave tonight, so everything will be alright."

The two hid inside the cabin, and soon it became quiet outside.

But what they feared most came to pass. Inside the house, they heard people approaching. There were quite a few of them, and they were searching room by room.

As their footsteps drew closer, the chubby boy and Xiaoyue grew increasingly anxious. The chubby boy gritted his teeth, made up his mind, hid Xiaoyue in the ventilation shaft, and told her, "Listen, don't make a sound. No matter what you see, don't make a sound, and take good care of yourself."

After saying that, he turned to leave, but Xiaoyue grabbed him tightly, crying, "Brother Pang, don't go, come in too."

"There's no time left, let go!"

Looking at Liu Yue's stubborn face, he continued, "I'm too fat to fit. Listen to me, I might be alright. Let go, it's too late."

Hearing the sounds approaching, the chubby boy forcefully pulled Liu Yue away and closed the ventilation vent.

Soon, the group of people entered. There were five or six of them, all young and strong men, carrying guns. After they came in, one of the men, who had dyed blond hair, grabbed the chubby boy. Then, a middle-aged man with a scar on his face entered. He was carrying a dog leash, but the other end of the leash wasn't tied to a dog; instead, it was to a little girl.

The group interrogated the chubby boy, asking if he was a passenger, and searched his entire body and backpack, finding a ticket inside. They then asked if he had any companions, saying they would let him go if he confessed everything he knew and joined them.

The chubby boy said he was alone and willing to join them, as long as they spared his life.

But the scarred man in the lead gestured for his men to punch the chubby boy, then asked, "Damn it, tell the truth! Someone saw you with a little girl. Where is she?"

The chubby boy was beaten until he knelt down, pleading, "Really, big brother, I don't know where the little girl is. We got separated."

The scarred man dismissed his underlings, walked up to the chubby boy, pressed a gun to his forehead, and said, "Someone saw you running away with a little girl. If you tell me her location now, I'll let you go. If you don't, you're dead."

Hearing Scarface's words, the chubby boy didn't speak, but his trembling legs betrayed him. He had always been timid and afraid of death, and now he was almost scared to death.

He knew that as long as he revealed Liu Yue's location, the group would let him go, since there was no benefit in killing him; he knew that he and Liu Yue actually had no connection, and they were just strangers who had met by chance; he knew that saving his life was the most important thing, and what could be more important than his own life?
