Chapter 362 Concentration Area
After a brief exchange, You Xuan learned that Peacock Dance had not come here much earlier than him, and did not know much more than he did.
She came here about two days ago, with the purpose of looking for Jonouchi. Although she didn't find him, she also encountered the "warm hospitality" of the local residents.
"Are you sure that Jonouchi Ke is here too?" You Xuan asked.
"Basically." Peacock Dance said casually.
"What are you doing here with him?"
But Wu did not answer this question and just changed the subject.
"Go over there. If you take this road, you'll reach the town. Of course, the situation in the town isn't any better."
After emerging from the woods, I began to see the town buildings. However, the streets were also empty, as if even the wind was afraid of the silence and dared not pass easily. The street lamps emitted a weak yellow light, swaying weakly in the darkness.
There was no one in sight, but there seemed to be a hidden sight in every window and every shadow. You Xuan followed Wu, and the two walked along the empty street, with each step accompanied by the echo of the soles of their shoes touching the cobblestones.
"Here."
Wu pointed to a narrow path on the side of the road.
It might be a shortcut leading somewhere. If she hadn't pointed it out, You Xuan would have automatically ignored it because the space here was so narrow that it didn't even look like a proper road.
Especially for the Peacock Dance, it is doubtful whether it can pass through such a narrow space with its exaggerated size.
But she actually squeezed through.
After passing through, I saw the outline of a station. Behind it was an old clock tower, but the clock on the clock tower had stopped.
Peacock Dance led him into the station, and the aura of the place was overwhelming. The station was still empty, and the benches in the waiting room were covered with dust. Entering this station was like entering a strange enchantment, with no way out.
But all the way down, there was actually a ray of light in the direction of the platform, like a lonely star lost in the night.
A train carriage. The carriage is a bit old, and the lights cast a hazy shadow on the wet platform.
Then someone actually came out to greet him.
"Sister Wu is back?"
The one who came out was also a woman. Her black hair was a little messy, her dress was a little torn, and although her face was covered with dust and fatigue, her features were still delicate.
"Huh?" She walked forward and noticed You Xuan following behind her. She was surprised and said, "Sister Wu brought a man back."
"Why does it sound so weird when you say it."
Wu walked past her and went straight to the carriage.
"He's also a duelist, and quite capable. He should be able to help."
"That would be great."
The woman said enthusiastically.
"If you're not Sister Wu's man, then I'll be rude to you."
As he said this, he came forward and extended his hand to You Xuan.
"My name is Mitsuki."
You Xuan shook hands with her expressionlessly as a courtesy, then walked around her and followed the peacock dance.
"What's going on? Is this a gathering place for survivors?"
"I guess so. It's the only place known in the town. It seems that the only remaining duelists have gathered here, as well as the civilians who have been protected."
As he was speaking, Peacock Dance had already led him into the carriage.
Mitsuki, who was left behind, was angry and said, "You ignored me."
A fat boy came up to him and said, "Sister Meiyue is ignoring you. How can you tolerate this?"
"Yes."
Mitsuki groaned, but then smiled.
"Well, since he's handsome and seems to be a good duelist, I won't bother with him."
"Eh?" The little fat man was stunned. "You didn't have this attitude when I first came here."
"That's nonsense."
Mitsuki looked as if it was a matter of course.
"Are you half as handsome as he is?"
fatty:"."
It hurts, but I seem to be speechless.
A burly man sat next to a seat in the train. When he stood up and saw the two people, he raised his eyebrows in surprise. "This is Yanxiong, who is considered the leader of this temporary gathering place."
Wu introduced the two of them.
"I see, a Duelist. Well, right now, the power of a Duelist is indeed what is most needed, but."
Yanxiong walked up to Youxuan and looked at him suspiciously.
This person was over two meters tall, and he was quite intimidating in front of ordinary people. You Xuan had to look up to look at him.
"Looks very young, like a student."
Iwao frowned in doubt.
"He looks like a slender scholar, can he really fight?"
You Xuan was happy.
Playing cards is not a fight, do I have to have a face full of flesh like you?
But before he could say anything, Peacock Dancer beside him put her hands on her hips and said, "If you had seen his duel with your own eyes, you wouldn't ask that question."
Yanxiong asked in surprise: "He is very powerful?"
"It's not a question of whether he's powerful or not. His duel is really special." Wu thought for a moment, "It's a little hard to explain. But if you want to know, you can check it yourself."
"Oh, interesting. But it is true."
Yanxiong looked at Youxuan.
"I will not let an unarmed student rush to the front line unless you prove your ability to me."
He said as he raised the duel disk and gestured to You Xuan.
"It just so happens that tomorrow is the time to launch the most critical plan. If you want to participate in the action, prove your strength to me in a duel, and I will allow you to join the plan.
If that doesn’t work, the children should just stay in the train with the elderly, the weak, women and children and wait for our news.”
He paused, and his ferocious face actually darkened a little.
"I don't want to see anyone fall in front of me anymore."
You Xuan looked up and looked at the man for a moment.
Well, he looks like a more traditional positive warrior image, and sounds like a good person.
So he nodded in response and unfolded the duel disk.
So as a tribute to such a warrior
Just let him experience a little of the fun of dueling.
"duel!"
"."
In just three minutes, there were several rounds of confrontation.
".Guardian Sphinx Flip Summon, all monsters on the opponent's field are bounced back to the hand."
"Then the Sphinx's effect allows you to return to the inside cover state once per round."
You Xuan is polite.
"."
"Continuous Trap 'Traveler's Trial'. When the opponent's monster attacks, they must guess my hand. If they guess incorrectly, the attacking monster will be bounced back to their hand."
"What a shame. I guessed wrong again. Then I will bounce Mr. Iwao's monster back to your hand."
"."
"A direct attack from the Guardian Sphinx."
The huge slap from the golden guardian made Yanxiong dizzy and his eyes were full of stars. He fell to the ground in a daze and his health points dropped to zero.
Then he looked down at the handful of cards in his hand, which were repeatedly bounced back and could not be played at all, and fell into thought for a moment.
Yugen stepped forward and asked politely, "So, did I pass the test, Mr. Iwao?"
Yanxiong looked up and gave him a meaningful look.
Then he gritted his teeth.
"Pass, you must pass! Now you have to come even if you don't want to."
He stood up, dusted off his butt, and gritted his teeth.
"Keep up this momentum and kill those damn zombies for me when the time comes."
