Chapter 145 - 145: Survived a Disaster! I’ll also Give You a Follow!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
After the train car slowed down, it quickly began to shake violently.
Not only that, but they could feel the car deviating from its path.
Li Yidao’s heart sank.
He glanced outside and noticed that their car had switched to another track.
Moreover, due to being on a downhill slope, the speed they had just reduced was gradually increasing.
Zhang Goudan wore a bewildered expression and stared at Brother Dao with anxiety.
“Brother Dao, what’s happening? This train… this…”
Li Yidao didn’t reply.
Instead, he wore a grim expression as he left their compartment.
At this point, he also noticed something peculiar.
At some point, there were no longer any passengers in their train coach.
It was just him and Zhang Goudan.
Furthermore, he had realized earlier that their coach was the last one on the train.
This meant that they were specifically targeted.
“Huh, how does it feel now? You should be feeling the fear of death by now, ” came the voice of the Cherry Blossom Grim Reaper once again through Li Yidao’s mobile livestream.
The Reaper’s voice was filled with triumph.
“Don’t struggle. You can’t escape. If the train derails, jumping out now would also be a death sentence.”
“Besides… if my calculations are correct, you won’t have anywhere to jump.” And this time, he was right.
Li Yidao had noticed that their coach had no windows or rather, the windows were all sealed shut.
There was no way to jump through them.
As they continued to move at an increasingly faster pace, it was clear they were heading toward a broken bridge ahead.
If they continued on this path, their only fate would be death.
Li Yidao couldn’t help but let out a sigh.
Crisis indeed seemed to be everywhere.
He didn’t even know how many forces were focusing on him. Anyway, he felt surrounded by enemies from all sides.

“Bro… Brother Dao… what do we do?”
Zhang Goudan was now completely terrified.
He had also realized the dire situation they were in.
Li Yidao reassured him, “Don’t panic. We need to find a way to break a window and jump out!”
The only way now was to smash the window!
Otherwise, there was simply no other way.
Zhang Goudan didn’t hesitate and quickly ran to a nearby fire extinguisher.
He grabbed it and began attempting to break the window.
However, as he struck the window with the extinguisher for the first time, Li Yidao’s heart sank.
The window barely showed any sign of damage.
At this rate, they wouldn’t be able to break it open in five minutes.
But did they even have five minutes left?
The Cherry Blossom Grim Reaper’s claim of one minute was an exaggeration, but they had at most three minutes left.
They were surely about to fall.
Upon seeing that the train window hadn’t shattered, Zhang Goudan was momentarily stunned.
However, he quickly started swinging the fire extinguisher wildly, striking the window as if in a frenzy.
Li Yidao didn’t join in. One person smashing or two made little difference.
Time was ticking away.
Soon enough, two minutes had passed.
Despite Zhang Goudan putting all his strength into it, the window only had a crack.
Breaking it open completely was out of the question.
Taking a deep breath, Li Yidao forced himself to stay calm.
Panicking wouldn’t help at this point.
But even in his newfound composure, it seemed there were no special solutions available.
Unless…
Unless some external force intervened.
Something that could stop the train.
Or…
Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!
Just as Li Yidao was considering another possibility, the train car seemed to run over something, followed by a series of screeching sounds.
Then, the entire car tilted dramatically.
Bang!
Squeak…
After a loud crash, there was a continuous, piercing noise.
Li Yidao realized that another scenario had occurred: an unexpected rollover.
Only this could bring the train to a halt.
When Li Yidao stood up again, the train car had already come to a stop.
Zhang Goudan slowly climbed to his feet as well.
He had been too close to the window when it nearly shattered, so he had sustained a few minor injuries, mostly superficial cuts and scrapes.
Li Yidao approached him, helping him up. “Are you okay?”
Zhang Goudan nodded.
Perhaps due to the train’s sudden tilt and topple, the locks on the exterior doors had been damaged.
The door of their train car was now open.
Li Yidao and Zhang Goudan made their way out through the open door.
As they emerged, Li Yidao was momentarily stunned.
They were less than a hundred meters away from the broken bridge up ahead.
Given the speed of the train car just moments ago, they would have reached it in the blink of an eye.
If the train hadn’t rolled over at the last moment, their chances of survival would have been extremely slim.
Was all of this a coincidence?
Li Yidao wasn’t sure, but he did know one thing. This situation was far from simple.
In the Cherry Blossom Grim Reaper’s live stream chat, his words once again stirred up a flurry of comments from viewers.
“Wow, this is incredible! Predicting down to the minute? You’re really fearless!”
“Brother Dao is on a train right now, I know that. But are you suggesting the train might have issues? Don’t be ridiculous!”
“Exactly! If we’re talking about the safest mode of transportation, I’d vote for trains! Who would say a train might have problems?”
“Why is Brother Dao on a train, though? How did you find out?”
“Let’s just say I saw him when I boarded the train. Do you believe me?”
“Oh my God! So lucky! Which train are you on? I’m on a train too! Maybe we’ll bump into each other!”
“I’m on T390, heading northwest. When I got on, I saw Brother Dao going to
the last sleeper berth car, accompanied by a young man. I suspect Brother Dao is attending some business.”
“Northwest? Young man? Could the young man be Miner Ermao’s family?”
“Wow, you’re amazing! It actually makes sense. So, does this mean Brother Dao is attending Miner Ermao’s funeral?”
“It seems plausible… ‘
As everyone discussed, suddenly, the user who claimed to be on the train earlier posted several exclamation marks. “F*ck! It’s real! Brother Dao’s coach derailed!”
“What?” Everyone was baffled.
Derailed?
“Come on! Are you kidding? Brother Dao…”
“No, no! Did Brother Dao really get into trouble because of this jerk?”
“Is this jerk really that powerful?”
“Shh! Keep it down, be careful not to get followed!”
“Brother Dao would follow and warn. The ones who have been followed would have a chance to survive. But this jerk… Why do I feel a bit scared?”
“Did Brother Dao really…? Are you sure you’re not joking, the person who mentioned the train earlier?”
“I’m not kidding! It’ll be in the news soon! Brother Dao’s entire sleeper coach derailed from the tracks! And there’s a broken bridge up ahead! They’re in grave danger! ”
“My goodness! What do we do? Is Brother Dao okay?”
“Don’t worry! I refuse to believe Brother Dao is done for!”
“Right! I don’t believe it! Let’s wait for Brother Dao to come out and prove them wrong!”
“I don’t want to believe it either… but I’m on the train too, and what the person said earlier seems to be true… Brother Dao’s coach really derailed. They’re in deep trouble! ”
“What should we do? What should we do?”
In the live stream chat, everyone was either venting their frustrations or expressing their anxiety.
And then, suddenly, a familiar comment appeared on the screen.
[No worries after death, Li Yidao will escort you. Full-service one-stop, ensuring peace of mind for your loved ones. Pre-bookings enjoy a 50% discount!]
The user who sent the comment was Brother Yidao Funeral Shop!
Not only that, the viewers also noticed that the Cherry Blossom Grim Reaper’s ID had appeared in Brother Dao’s following list!
At this moment, everyone’s mental CPUs were working overtime, but they were quickly replaced by excitement!
Brother Dao had commented?
What did this mean?
It meant Brother Dao was safe!
It also meant that Brother Dao…. had taken action!
