My Doomsday Train

Chapter 122: "Train Elevator."

Chen Mang shook his head, clearing the chaotic thoughts from his mind before looking at the "Train Ticket" component displayed on the console screen.

Although it was a white-grade item, it was actually quite useful.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have appeared in the craftable components of a level 4 train.

He had realized something.

With the increase in levels, if he wanted to create a gap between himself and other trains and survive longer, simply relying on rapid upgrades wouldn't work. He had to find rare blueprints from adventure maps or by killing bosses to truly differentiate himself.

This component's effect was to produce train tickets.

Guards on external missions could instantly teleport back to the train's designated location by tearing up a ticket. The initial teleportation distance was 1000 meters, increasing to 10,000 meters at level 10.

This component could effectively ensure the safety of personnel on external missions.

Not bad, I guess.

In situations where the train's firepower couldn't provide adequate support, this component could effectively reduce casualties, and two supermodel effects had also been unlocked.

-

"Train Ticket Level 5 Supermodel Effect": If teleportation fails, the user's first-person view from the last minute before their death will be transmitted back to the train.

"Train Ticket Level 10 Supermodel Effect": None.

-

Overall, this component was quite good. The only regret was that the level 10 effect was "None." He had been thinking that if he could level up this component high enough, perhaps even to level 20 or 50 supermodel effects...

Would it...

Have an effect similar to resurrection, where personnel on external missions holding the ticket would be directly resurrected inside the train upon death?

Now it seemed that this was impossible.

But thinking about it, this effect was a bit too fantastical, directly shattering the rules of life and death. The "Medical Bay" could only save even the most severely injured people, but it couldn't resurrect the dead.

With this item, he could occasionally take a stroll outside.

He would operate within a 10,000-meter radius centered on the train, and if he encountered danger, he could directly remotely control the train with the "Hell Staff," or if that didn't work, he could use the ticket to teleport directly back to the train.

Very good.

Soon—

The night passed, a night of rest, and everyone was relaxed.

After dawn.

The "Stellar Train" set off again, heading west towards the city center, preparing to search for Yan Yao. For the Stellar Train, rescuing a survivor was very simple, especially with a general appearance.

The target acquisition radar screen could clearly mark nearby lifeforms.

It's worth mentioning that.

He hadn't seen many survivors on the target acquisition radar along the way. They had probably all been scavenged by those trains or had perished in the mouths of monsters.

Finally!

The Stellar Train slowly drove into the park. In a corner of the park, about thirteen detached villas were located there.

"Quite a few people."

"Neither of them."

Ji Chuchu shook her head, quickly scanning the real-time images around each red dot on the screen, and finally focused her gaze on a villa: "Brother Mang, this is Yan Yao. I don't know who the woman next to her is."

"Mm."

Chen Mang nodded, looking at the villa with two red dots, and didn't say much. He just controlled the train to drive into the villa area and slowly stopped.

Upon receiving the order, Biaozi and the others immediately jumped down, cautiously spreading out in a three-three formation, holding their Tenglong assault rifles, and quickly approaching the villa in front of them in a fan shape.

Although the AI gave them the information that there was no danger ahead.

It's always good to be careful.

"Be careful."

Biaozi, with his nerves on edge, kicked open the half-closed door in front of him and looked at the spiderweb-covered villa inside. The blurred footprints on the ground indicated that no one had been here for a long time.

The first scene that came into view was the living room with a ceiling that was ten meters high.

Under the originally exquisite chandelier on the ceiling, a dried-up corpse was swaying slightly in the wind.

"Damn it!"

Biaozi's expression changed slightly, and he couldn't help but curse in a low voice. He had been scared early in the morning. In the apocalypse, if you want to commit suicide, can't you choose a clean death? Aren't you afraid of being devoured by monsters before you even hang yourself?

The corpse's legs had disappeared.

The wound was completely dry and starting to turn white. There was a splash of brownish-red, dried blood on the floor below the corpse.

The legs should have been gnawed off by the monsters that jumped up. The rest was out of reach.

One thing that can be confirmed about these monsters is that all human corpses have been eaten by them, so although this apocalypse is a bit tragic, at least there hasn't been an outbreak of any plagues.

Otherwise, if those monsters didn't eat corpses, in the apocalypse, suddenly having so many corpses, especially in the summer, would be terrible.

The difficulty of the apocalypse would directly double.

Biaozi withdrew his gaze from the corpse. It was a middle-aged man, a pity. He had a chubby belly. The monsters only ate his legs and didn't eat his belly, which was the most meaty part. The corpse was shriveled, but you could still vaguely see how much meat his belly used to have.

There were only some blurred footprints on the first floor of this villa.

There were no footprints on the stairs to the second floor.

It seemed that the thugs who had scavenged this villa before had only scavenged the first floor and hadn't even bothered to look at other places. He could completely understand this. He used to be like this when he was a thug. He would definitely avoid those places that looked strange.

The stuff belongs to the Train Leader.

Life is your own.

Why bother risking it?

If it were him in the past, he wouldn't have even entered this villa after seeing this scene at the door. It was too creepy, but today was different.

Biaozi took the lead, walking in front, and according to the AI's instructions in his mind, he went straight to the basement and directly to the safe house in that corner. From the outside, it looked like an ordinary room, but he knocked on the wall.

It was extremely thick.

A lot of steel bars were used. He also tried to press down on the door handle and slammed the doorknob with the butt of his gun.

It was a fake door.

The real door was the security door behind this fake door. This wasn't easy to get into.

“. . . ”

Biaozi frowned slightly. Just as he was about to say something, he saw a dark mass of mechanical nanite spiders crawling to the basement at some unknown time and drilling in through the gap in the security door in front of him.

A few seconds later.

With a crisp sound, the security door was suddenly slowly opened from the inside.

He immediately pushed open the security door and looked at the two women huddled in the corner, trembling and pale. In a hoarse, deep voice, he said, "Do you know Ji Chuchu? She belongs to Mang Ye."

Just then—

"Meijia!"

Shan Maozi, standing behind Biaozi, suddenly trembled with excitement and said, "You... you're here? I've been looking for you in Taiping City for so long, you..."

"Wait a minute."

Biaozi looked at the two emaciated women in the corner, slightly dazed, and frowned. "You're saying that the other woman is your friend?"

"Yes, yes!" Shan Maozi said excitedly, "It's her, it's her! It's her!"

"Shan Maozi?"

One of the women, originally huddled in the corner, heard the familiar voice and, after confirming that she wasn't mistaken, her eyes instantly turned red. She threw the dagger she was hiding in her arms aside and rushed towards Shan Maozi, her voice trembling with sobs. "I never thought I'd see you before I died, I... I..."

"Neither did I..."

The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

"Alright, alright, stop with the 'you you you' and 'I I I'."

Biaozi sighed lightly and interrupted the two. "We're on a mission, pay attention. Save the talk for when we get back."

"Yes."

Shan Maozi knew he had lost his composure and immediately took a deep breath, suppressing the emotions in his heart and bringing the woman to his side.

"Can you walk?"

Biaozi glanced at the pile of instant food packaging in the safe house before looking at the woman who was standing up shakily in the corner.

They sure ate a lot in the secret room.

There's still a lot left. We can move it all back to the train later. Looks like there's plenty of food and water, enough to last another two or three months.

"I can walk."

After the tall woman in the corner stood up shakily, she looked at the special operations uniform on Biaozi and took a deep breath. "My father is the director of the Special Task Force in Shahe City. Did he send you to rescue me?"

"Have all the monsters been eliminated?"

"..."

Biaozi curled his lip and looked away from the safe house. "Special Task Force? If your father was a dedicated official, then his death anniversary should be coming up soon. If your father was a cowardly official, he might still be alive."

"Mang Ye sent me here."

"Let's go."

He didn't say much to the woman. It was hard to say what her status would be on the train in the future. If she couldn't walk, he would have to call two female residents down to help her. The less he said, the better, less talk, less mistakes.

But it seems...

She probably hasn't realized that the world has officially entered the apocalypse. Her memory is still stuck in the early days of the apocalypse. It'll probably be difficult to adjust her mindset for a while.

"You can do that?"

In the Stellar train compartment, Chen Mang looked at Xiao Ai, who was standing to the side, with some surprise. "Why haven't you used this before?"

Xiao Ai's emotionless voice came through the robot's loudspeaker.

"I didn't have the opportunity to use it before, and I only recently figured out how to use it this way."

"I can multi-thread control those mechanical nanobots to perform some extremely delicate tasks, allowing the mechanical nanobots to do more than just repair parts, but..."

"I can only open some simple locks, I can't do the difficult ones, unless you can find me information about lock picking to learn."

"But this is already the limit of my computing power. I can only multi-thread control this many mechanical nanobots at most, and when I'm controlling this batch of mechanical nanobots, I can't control other parts."

"Not bad."

Chen Mang nodded and looked at the target acquisition radar on the screen. It showed that several people had sneaked up to the window to observe him while he was parked here, but no one had spoken.

It seems that these people don't want to leave here either.

At least until the food runs out, staying in the safe house is indeed safer than staying on the train, of course, not including his train.

And—

He looked at the "Apocalypse Marriage Certificate" in the drawer and smiled. There was also an unexpected gain. He didn't know what happened to Shan Maozi's girlfriend, but she ran from Taiping City to the safe house in the Shahe City villa.

He can get another 100 Inheritance Points.

Although he hasn't used this thing yet.

But both Inheritance Points and Reputation Points are things that you won't have time to acquire when you need them. It's always good to save up more in advance. Now he can have 200 Inheritance Points.

Just then—

The "Train Radio" suddenly received a message from the train captain of the Azure Dragon.

"Azure Dragon Train Captain": Brother, are you ready over there? We might not be able to wait for your half-month deadline. Plans have changed. We have to go to the Tower of Babel by tomorrow at the latest.

"Explain in detail."

"The Tower of Babel adventure map will be officially opened tomorrow. At that time, a 'Train Elevator' will drop directly from high altitude to the ground. Even without the ability to climb 90-degree cliffs, you can still go up smoothly."

"I thought this was an exploration-type adventure map, but I didn't expect it to be a competitive, open-ended adventure map, but it's not open yet."

"I said the conditions were so harsh, who could explore it? Even I can't explore it, how many people can go?"

"This map does not allow Level 6 trains to go."

"If you want to go, brother, then we might need to meet tomorrow morning and then go together."

"Go, you set the coordinates."

"No problem, then we'll meet at the coordinates '391, 8192, 283' tomorrow morning."

"Three parameters?"

"Oh, oh, sorry, I almost forgot, your train can't fly, you only need longitude and latitude, you don't need altitude, then we'll meet on the ground at the coordinates '391, 8192'."

"..."

Chen Mang looked expressionlessly at the chat information in the train radio. Was this guy doing it on purpose?

Even if his train could fly, would the two of them have to meet in the sky?

Wait!

Who can't fly? He has already gotten the Bunny Cloud, when he gets some acceleration vehicle parts, he can also fly, then he will set the coordinates at '391, 8192, 5000'.

This guy can only fly 3000 meters at most, limited by the level of the Bunny Cloud wheels.

He will definitely fly higher than this guy.

That's good too.

He hasn't had close-range communication with other trains yet. He can't always work behind closed doors. He'll go tomorrow to see how other trains are developing and see if there's anything he can learn.
