With so many 'ghosts' appearing all at once, the passengers were too terrified to make a sound, even their breathing was extremely soft. No one spoke until Mo Shuwan appeared. Yang Zhou, who had been watching closely from the last row, immediately shouted, "Captain!"
Upon hearing Yang Zhou's voice, Cai Zhongqi and the others stood up and looked towards Mo Shuwan's location, shouting in unison, "Captain!"
The new passenger was standing in the aisle, blocking the view of the two passengers, which immediately aroused their dissatisfaction. They said unhappily, "Either you go back to your seats, or squat down and stop blocking our view."
Amidst the initial shock, some new passengers crouched down, while others shakily returned to their seats. The muscular man, suppressing his discomfort, quietly returned to his own seat.
Then, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that the person being called captain by this group of 'ghosts' was actually a petite woman!
Yang Zhou stood up and said in a low voice, "Captain, we're all waiting for you to come out. We haven't told them the rules yet."
Mo Shuwan was slightly taken aback, glanced at Yang Zhou, and nodded, "I understand." Then she called out Qi Hao's name.
Upon hearing this, Qi Hao immediately ran to Mo Shuwan's side. He heard Mo Shuwan gently say, "Could you explain the current situation to them?"
Qi Hao nodded and, in the quiet carriage, told Mo Shuwan everything he knew. After he had said everything he needed to say, he looked at Mo Shuwan obediently and said, "Captain, I'm done."
Mo Shuwan smiled, then patted Qi Hao's head over Wen Zuo, who was sitting on the outside, and said, "Okay, go back and open the exchange board."
Qi Hao looked puzzled, but since Mo Shuwan had already said so, he immediately ran back to his seat, opened the exchange board, and saw that the original 0 points in the lower left corner had turned into 100 points. After staring at it for a few seconds, he stood on his chair and shouted in Mo Shuwan's direction, "Thank you, Captain."
Cai Zhongqi and the others looked at Qi Hao, who had already returned to his seat and was nowhere to be seen, with a puzzled expression. What did Mo Shuwan give him? Why did she suddenly thank him?
Of course, despite their confusion, the passengers wisely refrained from asking questions and remained seated obediently in their places.
The new passengers, fearing the unknown, dared not utter a sound. Among them, the man whose hand had been severed by the bus for attacking Qi Hao huddled tightly in his seat, barely breathing.
Although the bus healed his injury shortly after teaching him a lesson, it did not allow his hand to grow back, leaving a deep scar on the man's heart.
Qi Hao was only a ten-year-old child after all. He only spoke what he knew, and it was fragmented and could not form a complete message. Therefore, many new passengers were still full of fear. Fortunately, a gentle voice rang out at this moment.
You have ten minutes to ask questions, and I will try my best to answer them during those ten minutes.
Twenty minutes later, the bus will arrive at Dinosaur World. This information was displayed directly on her phone not long ago, but it was a perk for the team leader. After seeing it, she asked Wen Zuo, who said he had not received any similar information.
Mo Shuwan's voice was calm, and the sound amplified by the bus was clear enough for every passenger to hear. Her calmness somewhat alleviated the fear of the new passengers.
Soon, the first voice rang out, "Who are you?"
Mo Shuwan turned her head to look at the muscular man who had stood up in front of Yang Zhou, and calmly replied, "We are passengers just like you."
The muscular man subtly observed Mo Shuwan, but no matter how he looked at her, the woman who spoke seemed so frail that he could crush her with a single slap. However, the muscular man dared not underestimate her in the slightest. If she didn't have some strength, why would those 'people' who could disappear into thin air and then suddenly reappear call her captain?
The other new passengers, however, were internally arguing against it.
How could you possibly be like us! We don't just disappear into thin air!
"Where is this place?! Where are we being taken?!"
"This is the Time Bus." Mo Shuwan looked at the muscular man who was much calmer than the others, and pondered for a moment before answering the next question: "Other worlds, worlds that only exist in your imagination."
"Someone attacked a child just now, and that person's hand was destroyed. Did you do that?"
This question surprised Mo Shuwan. When she came out, the man's hand had already been healed, and no one had told her about it, so she naturally didn't know about it. However, Mo Shuwan quickly chuckled and said, "Of course it's the power of the bus that prohibits all infighting. If you attack your companions, having your hand destroyed is the lightest punishment."
Of course—this is all nonsense from Mo Shuwan. Perhaps killing each other is indeed prohibited inside the bus, but outside, the bus definitely encourages killing each other. Otherwise, there wouldn't be a hidden mission that rewards 1,000 points for killing a passenger.
But the bus company won't offer any explanation, and the veteran passengers like Yang Zhou will only assume she meant that people shouldn't kill each other on the bus. But the new passengers are different. Having learned from that example, they'll probably have to carefully consider whether they can withstand the bus's wrath before they want to harm anyone around them.
The muscular man's pupils contracted slightly, and he silently sat back down. He didn't ask any more questions. Even with his strong mental fortitude, too much had happened in those few tens of minutes, and the information he received far exceeded his expectations. Even he needed a moment to process it all.
After the muscular man fell silent, no one else spoke for a long time. Then, as the ten minutes rapidly dwindled to just two, a clear, cold voice finally broke through: "Why do they call you captain? Why did you become captain?"
Upon hearing this, all the passengers turned their gazes toward him, including the muscular man who was still processing the information and considering his escape route. The cold voice clearly contained a hint of disdain, and to show disdain to someone whose background was still unknown and mysterious was obviously a foolish act in the muscular man's eyes.
Wen Zuo was the first to frown.
Then there were Yang Zhou and Cai Zhongqi, both of whom were dissatisfied with the woman's attitude.
The one who spoke up this time was a woman with heavy makeup and an extremely beautiful appearance. She was standing in the aisle, and with her impressive height, plus the fact that Mo Shuwan was already sitting, she looked down at Mo Shuwan with disdain on her face.
The atmosphere inside the carriage seemed somewhat frozen.
A little over a minute later, Mo Shuwan smiled and said, "Time's up. I have no obligation to answer your questions. Just a reminder, everyone, we will be entering the unknown dinosaur world in ten minutes. If you don't want to die, I suggest you immediately press the white button on your seat to exchange for some life-saving items."
