CHAPTER 24: ONLY THEN CAN THERE BE SO MANY CUTE ELEMENTS

"I… I was here first!"

"No, I was here first!"

"Move aside!"

"Let me go up!"

Beside the Hayajiro Train, the crowd dragged their families and belongings, pushing and squeezing against each other. Their faces wore expressions of viciousness and panic as they desperately tried to make their way to the entrance of the Hayajiro Train.

"Ah~," Mumei said in an uninterested tone, "So someone else arrived first?"

Fang Li nodded, confirming Mumei's words.

Fang Li was able to finally understand the location of the Hayajiro Train for evacuation only after being here for three days, let alone the people at Aragane Station.

So, when the alarm bell sounded, the people at Aragane Station naturally thought of this place as their first escape destination.

However, this is what usually happens when everyone wants to escape.

People pushing and squeezing each other, the crowd becoming more and more packed. As a result, there were actually fewer people who could go up.

"If everyone went up one by one, they should have all made it up by now." Mumei furrowed her beautiful eyebrows as she spoke.

Fang Li also furrowed his brows, and shortly after seeing Mumei's puzzled expression, he took out her Steam Pistol and aimed it into the air.

"Bang!"

A loud gunshot suddenly resounded in the area.

"?! What?!"

The panicked and noisy voices instantly vanished without a trace.

Everyone in the crowd turned their heads and looked at Fang Li holding the gun, their expressions completely frozen.

In this situation, Fang Li squinted his eyes.

"Go up in order, no pushing!" Fang Li pointed the Steam Pistol at the crowd as he spoke with a chilling calmness in his tone.

"If any of you continue to push and prevent everyone from escaping, causing the death of all, then instead of letting you kill everyone, I'd rather deal with you right now. Those who don't believe my words can give it a try."

The entire place fell into silence.

Shortly afterward, the crowd swallowed nervously one after another.

Obviously, no one would choose to take the risk at this moment.

And Fang Li was not joking either.

Although he had never killed anyone before, Fang Li was certain that if he decided to act, he wouldn't hesitate at all.

After all, Fang Li didn't have any emotions toward 'Death' whatsoever.

So, Fang Li surveyed the crowd, pointed the Steam Pistol at the person closest to the door, and said, "You, start getting on one by one!"

Hearing this, although the person felt panicked being pointed at with a gun by Fang Li, they still breathed a sigh of relief and quickly climbed into the carriage.

"Then it's your turn!"

"And you next!"

"And you too!"

"Very well, you all get the idea, get on it one by one, and do it quickly!"

Under Fang Li's command, the panicked crowd suddenly became orderly.

In the end, people hardly needed Fang Li's instructions anymore as they silently boarded the train according to their proximity to the door.

Watching this scene, Mumei took another look at Fang Li and said, "You really are reckless."

"Are you in a position to say that, considering you recklessly trespass into a large army of Kabane and slaughter them at will?" Fang Li tossed the Steam Pistol back to Mumei and continued, "Moreover, if I didn't do this, you would probably be annoyed by the chaos, wouldn't you?"

"… You talk as if you know me well," Mumei couldn't help but murmur.

However, at that moment, Mumei suddenly felt dizzy, and her petite body shook violently before falling to the side.

"Hey?" Fang Li quickly caught Mumei in his arms.

Immediately, a pleasant fragrance emanated from Mumei's body, wafting into Fang Li's nostrils and causing a slight itch in his heart. This young girl, although she appeared young and even somewhat naive, even at this age, she was undeniably charming.

If they were on Earth, girls of this age would generally be considered a group of brats, devoid of any charm.

This made Fang Li realize that this was indeed a 2D world.

Only in 2D could there be so many Moe(Cute) elements.

(If this were on Earth, wouldn't this girl absolutely be pursued relentlessly?) Fang Li chuckled wryly in his mind as he thought of this, then asked the girl in his arms, "What happened to you?"

"… It's nothing," Mumei rubbed her eyes, yawned, and her voice became somewhat weak as she said, "I'm just a little tired."

"Tired?" Fang Li's heart trembled slightly as he understood something.

However, Fang Li didn't ask anything further, and simply said, "Do you want to rest for a while?"

"Let's do that…" Mumei yawned again, looking genuinely exhausted.

"I'll take you to rest in the carriage first," Fang Li promptly made that decision.

However, before Fang Li could act on his decision, a chaotic sound of footsteps suddenly rang out, capturing the attention of everyone present.

Fang Li took a closer look and smiled when he saw this scene.

The source of the chaotic footsteps was none other than the Samurais from the Yomokawa family.

Among them were Konochi Kurusu and Araka Kibito.

And the person they were supporting was none other than Yomokawa Ayame.

"You…" Seeing Fang Li holding Mumei in front of the Hayajiro Train, Konochi Kurusu and Araka Kibito seemed somewhat surprised.

"Fang Li-San!" Yomokawa Ayame also spotted Fang Li and her expression brightened, rejoicing in Fang Li's continued survival.

Unfortunately, before Fang Li could exchange pleasantries with everyone, the chaos resumed.

Not only did members of the Yomokawa family arrive, but also a group of protected civilians.

These civilians had no idea what had just happened. As soon as they appeared, they immediately panicked and rushed toward the Hayajiro Train, competing to get inside.

"Everyone!" Yomokawa Ayame finally reacted and hastily said, "Please don't panic! One by one, board the Hayajiro Train!"

However, the civilians completely ignored Yomokawa Ayame and continued to rush toward the Hayajiro Train.

"Bang!"

The sound of a gunshot echoed once again in the surrounding.

The rushing civilians suddenly came to a halt, freezing in place as their eyes widened.

Fang Li held the sleepy Mumei in one hand and grasped her gun with the other as he spoke while letting out a sigh.

"Go up one by one. Don't make me keep repeating the same thing. It's getting boring."
