Catastrophe Card King

Chapter 528: Chapter 183: Leaving Summer Shepherd City, Wanted Everywhere_3

It’s a shame that Leonard didn’t understand the ancient Tarun language, so he couldn’t get any answers.

The spectral train attendant poured tea, to which Leonard courteously said, “Thank you.”

The attendant seemed to understand and nodded.

Suddenly, Leonard had a stroke of inspiration. Could it understand his words?

Before the attendant could leave, he tentatively asked, “Um…could you possibly drop us off at a safer location?”

Upon hearing this, Catherine Carter was taken aback. Was such a request even possible?

But immediately afterwards, she too looked at the train attendant expectantly.

Yes, as it was a train, could they choose to get off midway?

No one had yet managed to decipher the Underworld Train’s route, and no one could stop them from getting off halfway.

For a moment, it seemed as if time stood still.

Even Leonard didn’t harbor any hope of getting a response.

But to both their surprises, the train attendant nodded once again!

Leonard was taken aback and quickly said as the attendant was about to leave, “Thank you very much!”

However, the attendant didn’t respond and turned to leave.

Catherine, watching the sudden turn of events, was equally surprised.

However, she wasn’t surprised by the attendant’s response but was looking at Leonard sitting across from her, her eyes twinkling with unreadable thoughts.

This guy always seemed to come through in a pinch.

It felt as if they were at another turning point in their fate, the Destiny Coin finally…

…

The Underworld Train suddenly came to a halt.

The outside of the window was enveloped by fog, concealing their location.

Both Leonard and Catherine got off the train, thanking the spectral train attendant.

The two then ventured into the fog.

They both found themselves in a very strange place.

The area ahead was covered in fog, and the ground beneath their feet was shrouded in a thick mist.

It was unclear whether this was real or a sensory illusion.

It was as if time and space were mixed together.

Both of them had some understanding of the Time Rules, which made this sensation feel oddly fascinating.

It was as if they were strolling along the River of Time, observing their surroundings from the perspective of a high-dimensional creature.

However, their understanding was not enough to comprehend this feeling fully.

The two of them continued on this way.

As they proceeded, they gradually began to see the shadows of buildings in the surrounding fog.

These were the ruins of tall and derelict buildings.

The images became clearer and clearer.

In an instant, as if reality had fused with illusion, the ground beneath their feet turned into a broken cement road.

Looking around at the surrounding buildings, Leonard said, “It seems like we’ve come out of the depths. We’re now in the city ruins.”

Catherine nodded in agreement, “Hmm.”

Both of them exhaled in relief, as if relieved to be alive.

However, the occasional sounds of gunfire from the city reminded them that their surroundings were anything but peaceful.

Now that they were out, Leonard said, “Well…we’ll meet again if fate allows?”

Catherine replied, “I’ll accompany you for a bit, at least until we get closer to Lion City. There are many Undead Creatures in the ruins right now. It could be quite troublesome for you in your current condition.”

Leonard laughed and said, “I’m currently unable to use my Curse Power. If you come with me, you might get dragged down.”

Catherine replied nonchalantly, “Who will drag down whom remains to be seen.”

Leonard just smiled and didn’t say much.

Regardless of who was holding whom back, based on their current situation, they stood a higher chance of survival if they cooperated.

Furthermore, neither of them believed their troubles had been resolved.

Leonard was also feeling increasingly worse.

The strange energy within him continued to wreck havoc, showing no signs of recovery from his injuries.

In this way, the two severely wounded continued to walk through the ruins.

With the collapse of the ruins at the pit’s bottom, more higher-tiered Catastrophes seemed to have emerged in the city.

In the distant fog, they occasionally saw bizarre-shaped flying monsters and gigantic shadows of indistinguishable creatures…

Leonard and Catherine avoided such obviously dangerous areas.

Despite their severe injuries, they were still forceful combatants.

Though they did encounter some low-tiered Undead Creatures on their journey, they managed to survive without danger.

…

However, while Leonard and Catherine were walking through the ruins…

Elsewhere, the arrest warrant had already been distributed to the various hunter campsites in the ruins.

Before long, almost all the large hunter groups in the city had received the news of a hefty bounty for finding individuals in the ruins.

“Tsk, the reward for this S-ranked fugitive has increased again! What exactly did this guy do to get an arrest warrant from the Federation authorities?”

“Apparently, he is a core believer in the Old Days Sect…According to the intel, he’s just a Second Tier. Killing him will get you a reward of two hundred million. Even just providing information can get you at least ten million in rewards… If we find him, we’re going to be rich!”

“Don’t underestimate him. He’s the tough guy who killed Governor Miller. You think everyone can kill him? I reckon based on his power, even a Third Order Card Master might have trouble dealing with him.”

“Oh my, the Lionheart Family is also looking for their Elder Miss who supposedly ran away from home. Providing clues can get you a reward of a million.”

“Tsk, these noble family daughters really have nothing better to do, playing around with running away from home.”

“…”

For a time, not only did various bounty hunter squads set off.

The Lionheart Family, the Miller Family, the White Family, the X Bureau… almost all forces had joined the search.

However, nobody knew that the wanted Leonard and Catherine had already left the pit and were now above ground.
