Chapter 40: Purchasing Farm Tools at the Agricultural Technology Station; A Glimpse into Human Nature on the Train (2/2)



He didn't bring much with him, just a canvas bag that looked bulging, but actually didn't contain much heavy stuff.

He also carried a military water bottle, which he used to conceal himself in case he got thirsty.

The bedrooms in the base have purified water, which can be drawn indefinitely.

Although the base city was shrouded in thick fog, these devices were still in operation.

It can be used even with electricity.

Soon, people started coming up one after another. Gu Yunyang hadn't had a proper rest in the past few days, so he quickly closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

So that someone won't ask me to give up my seat later.

It's not that he lacks compassion, it's just that the distance is so far, it would take three days by train.

He really wasn't in the mood to offer his seat.

A short while later, the train started moving, and Gu Yunyang still didn't open his eyes.

There were many people coming and going around him, and he felt that the place was full.

Anyway, I didn't bring much with me; it's all stored in the base's storage space, so I'm not worried about anyone stealing it.

"I still don't have the status or position, otherwise I would have bought a sleeper berth."

It has to be said that trains were incredibly slow at this time of year.

But there's nothing we can do about it.

The conditions in the sleeper berths weren't great either, certainly not as good as in later times.

But it's still better than the hard seats here.

Gu Yunyang even heard a rooster crowing. Who was this, getting on the train with a chicken?

The train carriage reeks of sweat and feet; it's a veritable stench of everything.

Gu Yunyang had no choice but to use his spatial ability to isolate the area around his nose so that he could not smell the odor.

That's when I felt like I was alive again.

That period of time just now felt like hell.

But this only ensures that you won't suffer when you're awake.

He couldn't even guarantee that he would fall asleep while maintaining his superpowers.

What if I hurt myself?

Spatial abilities are extremely powerful.

"Never mind, I'll fall asleep and won't smell it anymore."

The nose may smell it, but the brain doesn't process that information.

Let's just be fooling ourselves.

There was a lot of noise, and many people brought out all sorts of food.

It was lunchtime at that moment.

What kind of cornbread, multigrain steamed buns, and the like.

If this were done in later generations, it would be quite good, and it would also allow one to appreciate the bitterness of the past and cherish the sweetness of the present, or perhaps to improve digestion by eating more whole grains.

Back then, even eating too much refined grain was bad for one's stomach.

It's because they've been spoiled by too much good food.

But at that time, the cornbread or the mixed grain steamed buns were all very hard to swallow.

There are also many grain husks inside.

There was no other way; with not enough grain, they had to mix in the husks as well.

Anyway, it won't kill you; at most, it'll just make your throat feel stuffy.

The young man opposite him, however, was eating with great relish.

He seems to be a food connoisseur.

The uncle over there is still picking his toes; it's really hard to know what to say.

While others are eating, you're picking your toes.

Gu Yunyang decided that he would just drink some water and eat some dry food afterwards.

Otherwise, if you bring out a box of braised pork, not only will it attract attention, but it will also have the smell of stinky feet, which would be truly disgusting.

However, next to the young man sat an older woman holding a child who appeared to be asleep.

But Gu Yunyang felt something was off.
