Welcome to the Great Wilderness

After Fu Luo volunteered to input a destination for the group, the aircraft, named "Special Vehicle," flew smoothly and quickly above the City That Never Sleeps.

This chauffeured car truly lives up to its reputation as a VIP vehicle; its interior is not only spacious but also borders on luxurious.

Seats, beds, a wine cabinet... and even a heated swimming pool!

Through the clear, beautiful porthole on one side of the aircraft, Lin Yu could see the entire Despair Train's tracks—it resembled Saturn's rings, encircling the City That City That Never Sleeps.

The light strips on the track are bright and gentle, with countless pipes extending from the buildings of the City That Never Sleeps and merging into the track, densely packed like the mouthparts of insects sucking nectar from trees.

It seems that this "train" does indeed bear a significant portion of the energy supply for the entire City That Never Sleeps.

Next, Lin Yu also saw Baron Coleman's plan.

As he just said, it was an extremely clichéd act of self-sacrifice.

However, even if it's clichéd to the point of being overused, it cannot obscure the greatness and... magnificence of this sacrifice.

The train speeding along the tracks suddenly exploded, swallowing the soft light.

Fireworks-like bursts of light exploded, and at the same time, the lights on the track began to go out one by one.

Following the tracks, the entire City That Never Sleeps was illuminated by light.

The lights of vast skyscrapers dimmed.

Almost simultaneously, the lights of several aircraft lit up as they rushed toward the site of the explosion and fire.

At this moment, the entire city that never City That Never Sleeps was plunged into darkness, a darkness perhaps absent for decades.

The aircraft passed by the ship Lin Yu and his group were on one after another—but no one paid them any attention.

"What a magnificent and dazzling fireworks display!"

Li Nian also stood by the porthole and said with emotion.

"That's so romantic!"

Chen Zhuo was taken aback. "Can this be described as romantic?"

Pan Yuqiang, leaning against the window, said, "How can it not be?"

Wang Yuyang's assessment was more practical. "I see. As long as you create a big enough and urgent problem, no one will care how many people have slipped away from this train."

"Not only that," Fu Luo added, "If I'm not mistaken... 80 percent of Truth Company's positioning and surveillance systems should now be shut down or operating at low power."

"Even the tracking device on him may have been interfered with."

"In other words—they probably really didn't know this guy had escaped."

Fu Luo pointed to Pankto beside him.

He watched the explosion in silence, the flickering flames reflected in his eyes.

The flames were a single, yet fervent color, surpassing the vibrant, mixed colors of the moment before.

No one knows what he's thinking at that moment.

After a long while, when the aircraft had flown some distance, Pankto finally spoke, "In other words, if I can find a blind spot where they can't locate me before the power supply system is restored and remove some devices from my body, it's possible that the Truth Company will never be able to find me again, right?"

He asked, Fu Luo was somewhat shocked.

"Yes... wait a minute, are you listening? I thought you were just reminiscing about an old friend!"

"He's still a new friend to me right now," Pankto sighed. "Perhaps I'll only be able to experience the full extent of sorrow after I regain my complete Memory."

Li Nian looked at Pankto: "Your plan should be feasible, but are there really places in this City That Never Sleeps that the Truth Company can't cover?"

Pankto shook his head. "Based on my judgment, there shouldn't be any."

In City That Never Sleeps, finding someone might be like searching for a needle in a haystack for an ordinary person.

But for the three giant companies, finding any single individual is as easy as taking a numbered drink out of a vending machine.

They jointly govern, or even own, this sea.

"So even though you made a good promise to Baron Coleman, settling this guy in properly is no easy task!"

Li Nian spoke, Lin Yu shrugged.

"No problem, I have professionals I can consult—this person has a more complete Memory."

As he spoke, he pointed to the current leader of Group δ who was following behind him.

Do you know any good places?

"Of course, madam," the leader of Group δ said gently and politely, "It is indeed difficult to find a place within the City That Never Sleeps, but... he can go outside the City That Never Sleeps."

"Go to the 'Great Wilderness' —find the towns and villages of the Great Wilderness People."

"There, the Truth Company's control is very weak—among the three giant corporations, it has the strongest control over the Inner City, but the weakest control over the Great Wilderness."

"And the 'Divine Power Group,' which has the greatest control over the Great Wilderness, has had an extremely poor relationship with the Truth Company in recent years."

"And those areas outside the City That Never Sleeps, where the Divine Power Group is active, and in the southern part of the Great Wilderness, are considered 'forbidden zones' for us Truth Company personnel who specialize in handling affairs in the Great Wilderness."

The leader of group δ recounted all the information he possessed and offered his suggestions.

"Excellent," Lin Yu said, looking at the others on the aircraft. "If I suggest taking a detour... I don't think anyone will object, right?"

Others naturally agreed.

Lin Yu looked at Pankto.

"Then, Mr. Pankto..."

"I have no objection," he replied immediately, "But... although Coleman asked you to help me retrieve my Memory, I'm not that concerned about it. My Memory are my own business, and I'm not in a hurry. You don't need to worry about it so much."

"I've also obtained a lot of information about my Grandfather -uncle's whereabouts from you, and I plan to slowly investigate the rest along with my Memory... However, madam, I still have something I'd like to ask you for a favor."

"Pankto said sincerely."

"Go ahead and speak."

Lin Yu said calmly.

"Coleman mentioned that I have a wife and daughter—I implore you to find out their whereabouts. Until I find a way back to the City That Never Sleeps from the Great Wilderness, I hope you can take care of them for me."

"Pankto said seriously."

Lin Yu nodded slightly. "That's natural."

He agreed, then walked to the screen where Fu Luo had just entered the destination and gently touched it.

Although this was the first time Lin Yu had seen an aerial Map of the City That Never Sleeps, he quickly located the area in the southern part of the Great Wilderness —the place where the Truth Company had the weakest control—as mentioned by the Map of Group δ.

The navigation randomly positioned the aircraft at a place that looked like a settlement, and the aircraft turned in the air and headed towards the edge of the City That Never Sleeps.

On the aircraft, Lin Yu saw that this modern city, which looked like it was in the near future, had a kind of "retro" design - tall city walls stood on the edge of the City That Never Sleeps.

The aircraft flew over the city walls, and behind it lay an endless, desolate land.

The city wall serves as the dividing line—outside of this wall, almost no man-made structures can be seen.

The ride-hailing service broadcast a reminder.

"Please note: You have entered the Great Wilderness area."
