After lunch, Shao Zifeng gave his mother a heads-up and left the house under Qiqi's earnest gaze.
His mother had grown used to him running out after eating these past few days, and didn't pay much heed to his safety, even as she mumbled about it.
Reaching the street corner, he flagged down a "one-yuan ride," the so-called one-yuan vehicle being a van that served as both a bus and a taxi.
Dragon City County didn't have planned bus routes, nor formal taxi companies because these types of functional vehicles occasionally had to travel around the outer ring, hence they were required to have certain defense capabilities against attacks by mutant creatures. This was also why such functional vehicles were pricey.
Located inland with a low population, Dragon City County was also known for being poverty-stricken, so no formal company was willing to establish bus routes or taxi services there. A large investment might not see a return for over a decade.
