The party moved along very comfortably.

Traveling by bus was so comfortable that many of them wondered why they had been made to suffer so much up until now.

First, there was air conditioning.

And they no longer had to wear the hot protection suits and could sit on cushioned chairs.

Everyone was smiling.

The harsh march of yesterday seemed so unnecessary now. Zaza almost wanted to complain.

No, this was no time to complain about anything. But with such luxury before them now, it was hard not to think about it.

Zaza was not used to such things happening, and so he was slow to adapt, unlike the children.

But then again, he had believed Rindo to be much like himself, and yet Rindo had become fully occupied in driving the bus and appeared to be enjoying it very much.

“Ahahaha! This is amazing!!”

It was almost as if he were a different person.

(Rindo. I never would have expected this from you…)

Zaza muttered.

Still, he could not complain.

After all, he had been driving for quite a while now, and so this much could be overlooked.

The other bus drivers were probably doing the same thing.

He believed this because they were all following the lead bus very closely.

And the children were really enjoying this too.

Barren, cold wasteland spread out before them on the other side of the windows. It wasn’t the kind of scene that made you happy.

However, Rindo was driving in a way that would entertain them. He drove at breakneck speed, showing off his driving skills as the vehicle just barely avoided being hit by boulders.

Instead of honking, he would use the Pulse Gun to smash boulders that were in the way.

The Pulse Gun was the only weapon that remained after the others were removed. However, it was ridiculously powerful.

Even on such rough terrain, he was able to main an average speed of 80km/h, and it handled better than any small vehicle.

It could even float in the air for a short duration, which made it seem more advanced than the tanks used by the Empire.

Apparently, it could even go underwater.

Anti-radiation, anti-toxic gas, anti-bacteriological weapons were just some of the things it offered protection against. And it was sealed so tightly that not even a drop of water could get in.

And it went without saying, that the air was kept clean as well.

As long as you stayed in the vehicle, you were guaranteed a much more comfortable living space than any bomb shelter.

Was this really just a bus? It was all very hard to believe.

Rindo wasn’t the only one who was getting carried away.

Karman was as well. And his men were incredibly excited.

“Captain Karman. This is amazing! I just came back after scouting the area. This Powered Suit is so much more powerful than before. I just need to think about it while flying, and I can accelerate to Mach 2 in an instant!”

“And no blackout is caused by it. I can see perfectly. Even if I’m in an electromagnetic storm, all the sensors are displayed in my brain…it understands everything and I can control it.”
