My Doomsday Train

#173 - "Am I that important?"

"Is that an earthquake?"

"I don't know, but it's possible. I think I learned in school that earthquakes are more frequent in basin areas, so it would make sense, right?"

"Are you sure earthquakes are more frequent in basin areas?"

"Not sure, let me think."

In the center of the Yellow Zone's "Zombie Basin," dozens of trains were parked under the starry sky. Dozens of train captains gathered with their confidants for this spontaneously organized small gathering.

The habit of holding gatherings has been preserved even in the Yellow Zone.

It's not just about exchanging resources, but also exchanging information. Speaking face-to-face allows for the sharing of more effective information.

In the White Zone, everyone usually schedules gatherings during the day for safety. Although monsters are active both day and night, there is generally less activity during the day, making daytime gatherings safer.

But in the Yellow Zone, gatherings are usually scheduled at night.

This way, no time is wasted.

The slaves rest in the carriages while the train captains attend the gathering. After the gathering, they can return the next day and continue mining.

And at this moment—

Many train captains felt the ground shaking slightly and subconsciously looked towards the sloped face of the small mountain ahead.

At the sloped face of that small mountain, there was a tunnel with no visible end, containing a glass tunnel. Many people knew about this, but there was a light yellow film at the tunnel entrance.

Next to it was a light screen.

"The area ahead is a restricted zone."

It's not that no one had tried to explore it, but no one had ever succeeded in entering. Over time, no one paid attention to it anymore, except for some newcomers who had just arrived in the Zombie Basin, who would go to take a look, imagining themselves as the chosen one. Of course, they all eventually returned disappointed.

At this moment, the ground was shaking slightly.

It felt like something had exploded underground, like an earthquake, but it didn't quite feel like one.

Just then!

A piercing sonic boom suddenly rang in everyone's ears, followed by a train rushing out of the tunnel in the sloped face of the small mountain at an extremely high speed, shattering the film and flying into the sky.

Like a shooting star, it disappeared from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.

The last impression they had was that the train car had many thrust nozzles on both sides, and the pale blue tail flames adorned the train extremely beautifully in the night.

Almost all the train captains stood blankly in place, stopped what they were doing, and looked up at the train that had already disappeared into the sky. After a long while, they reacted and exchanged glances.

"Was that a train?"

"Of course, it had so many carriages. It's obviously a train. I don't know where these people got the Bunny Cloud wheels. I'm already a Level 8 train, and I still haven't gotten that accessory."

"You mine every day, of course you won't get it. These rare accessories can only be obtained in adventure maps or by killing those rare bosses."

"I don't remember anyone in the Zombie Basin being this powerful. Who can keep up with that speed?"

"Could it be the Stellar?"

"You mean that train that just arrived in the Zombie Basin and is ranked first in the number of supermodel effects?"

"Possibly."

Inside the Stellar train, Chen Mang switched to the "Bunny Cloud" wheels and flew high into the sky, preparing to find a place to rest. At the moment he rushed out of the ground, he saw the gathering taking place below.

However, he had no intention of participating for the time being.

He had gained a lot this time.

He needed to find a place to rest.

Soon—

In the Geocentric Nuclear Bomb adventure map, the iron ore obtained after those trains were devoured had been included in the statistics at that time.

This map had replenished a lot of his resources.

There was also a white-grade accessory blueprint and 4 Murphy Stones. He now had 16 Murphy Stones.

The blueprint was for a "Pleasure Toy Production Line."

Pleasure Toy, a tool for decompression and relaxation. It could be used reluctantly. Other than the cleaning process being troublesome and the soreness from using it too much, there were no other major drawbacks.

This blueprint was found in the "Anime Train."

In fact,

Even destroying a train makes it difficult to obtain a blueprint from the other train. After all, everyone uses the blueprints they obtain as soon as possible. Who would keep them, unless they can't use them and plan to sell them.

This thing.

"Hmm."

After thinking for a while, Chen Mang still spent 4,500 units of iron ore to create it and upgraded it to Level 10. Although it was useless to him, he could create a few and put them in the "Resident Store." Not only would it enrich the variety of goods, but it would also give residents who were reluctant to buy meat a way to release pressure.

-

"Pleasure Toy Production Line Level 5 Supermodel Effect": Softer and more bouncy.

"Pleasure Toy Production Line Level 10 Supermodel Effect": Consumption halved.

-

Not bad, it originally took 10 units of iron ore to create one, but after halving the consumption, it takes 5 units of iron ore to create one.

It really is a pretty useless accessory.

No wonder the "Anime Train" left it behind to sell. It's hard to say whether this thing can be sold, unless the price is cheap enough. As long as the price is cheap, there is no blueprint that can't be sold, even if it's a garbage blueprint, it's still an extra accessory.

Chen Mang leaned back in his chair and looked at the vacuum-packed cured duck in the refrigerator next to him, hundreds of bags in total, all spicy flavor. This was a good thing. After getting tired of the things in the train, he could change the flavor and try it.

He opened a bag and tore off a duck leg, putting it in his mouth.

Hmm?

Not bad, Chen Mang's eyes lit up slightly. Perhaps it was because he hadn't eaten it in a long time, the meat was dry and there was no moisture. It tasted very good when chewed in the mouth. Although it was a bit spicy, it was very addictive.

I don't know where that guy got it from. Is there a cured duck factory in the Zombie Basin?

But after eating more than a dozen bites in a row.

Chen Mang's cheeks turned slightly red. He threw the cured duck in his hand aside and quickly took out a bottle of iced mineral water from the refrigerator, drinking a large bottle in one breath, but it was completely useless. Why was that cured duck so spicy!

He now only felt a burning sensation in his mouth, and there was severe pain!

At first, he only felt that it tasted good and was quite spicy, but he could accept it. But after more than a dozen bites, the after-effects of the spiciness all came up, and he even felt that his tongue was about to lose sensation.

"Hiss…"

Chen Mang inhaled several breaths of cool air, but the pain didn't lessen in the slightest. He glanced down at the spicy duck packaging on the ground. The flavor was indeed marked as 'spicy,' not 'extra spicy.'

"Damn it!"

He immediately stopped hesitating and strode towards the 'Medical Bay' in Carriage No. 2. No, he was going to be burned to death by the spiciness; he needed to reboot!

After rebooting, Chen Mang returned to the train car, his condition completely restored. He gave the remaining half-bag of spicy duck to Xiao Fang, who was standing at the door, before continuing to examine his other spoils.

He was definitely not destined to enjoy these spicy ducks. They would make excellent interrogation tools.

Only give them spicy duck, no water!

Of course, that was just nonsense. He took out a dozen packages and put them in the residents' carriage, and the rest were given to the guards to try.

The confiscated cigarettes were naturally all thrown into the residents' shop, including the various supplies, which were stored in the carriage's refrigerators. There were enough refrigerators, so there was no worry about not being able to store everything, as well as the two or three hundred figurines.

The newest novels are all first published at 6_9_shu_ba!

"They're quite good-looking."

Chen Mang thoughtfully picked up a figurine about the size of a mobile phone, played with it for a moment, and then threw it back into the pile of figurines. Although these toys were useless, it would be a pity to throw them away. He threw them in the residents' shop to see if anyone needed them.

It is worth mentioning that—

According to information from Biao Zi's side, there wasn't a single female on the Anime Train, only males.

According to information from the Anime Train's slaves, the Anime Train's 'built-in fire control system' suddenly opened fire in the middle of the night some time ago without warning, killing all the female members.

Not even the sows were spared.

Although every train has a 'built-in fire control system,' basically no train has ever used it. This component mostly serves as a deterrent. Once this thing is activated, it's not as simple as killing one or two people. The crowd is so dense that it's impossible to achieve precision kills in a chaotic situation.

At the time, many men on the Anime Train were also buried with them in the chaos.

The only ones who had truly witnessed the power of the 'built-in fire control system' were the slaves on the Anime Train. Therefore, the slaves on this train were the most obedient, especially after seeing the 10 heavy machine guns in the carriage. They obediently walked into the refrigerator without any resistance.

On the other hand, the slaves in the other carriages were a bit rebellious, but under the suppression of the Third Team, these troublemakers were all cleared out.

"More than 1,900 survivors."

Basically, there weren't many troublemakers; they were all quite obedient, or rather, quite numb.

"…"

Chen Mang frowned slightly. Adding these 1,900+ survivors, the total number of people on the train had now reached more than 3,300. The daily consumption of various components, plus the expenditure of food, water, etc., had reached nearly 6,000 units of iron ore.

In the blink of an eye, 6,000 units of iron ore had disappeared today.

And that was in a normal rest or mining state.

In the event of battles, emergencies, etc., the consumption would be doubled, and it wouldn't just be iron ore that was consumed, but also copper ore and other resources.

"Alright."

He shook his head helplessly, but soon smiled again. Although the daily expenses had increased, the mining efficiency had also increased. It couldn't be said that there were both advantages and disadvantages; it could only be said that the plate was bigger.

With a larger plate, there were more gains.

But if there was a window of opportunity, a period of time with no iron ore revenue, the entire plate would collapse.

He didn't think too much about it and instead consumed 190,000 units of iron ore to create an iris chip for each of the 1,900+ survivors, and had Xiao Ai implant them one by one. He also consumed more than 1,900 units of wood to make a set of clothes for each person.

Of course.

Orange-red.

This was the standard uniform of the Stellar Train. In the misty environment of the apocalypse, wearing a brighter color would make people feel better.

"Am I that important?"

Inside the 'Space Gate' of Carriage No. 2, which was named the Mecha R\u0026D Center, Xiao Ai was fiddling with the experimental instruments brought back from the 'Earth's Core Nuke' adventure map when he heard Mang Ye's instructions in his ear.

He wanted him to implant the iris chips.

Only he could do this, after all, his hands were steady enough.

Xiao Ai looked expectantly at the simple robot fixed in the middle of the frame in front of him. He was recreating a body for himself so that he could have multiple clones in the future and run around in multiple places at the same time.

Then he didn't dare to delay.

Immediately, he left the Space Gate, put all the produced iris chips and clothes in a refrigerator, and then carried the refrigerator towards the rear residential carriages.

Carriages No. 10 and No. 11, these two carriages were originally Goblin carriages, housing more than 100 Goblins.

But Duo Ba had already taken all the Goblins and moved into the 'Space Gate' installed on Carriage No. 11. The Goblins all lived in a refrigerator, so these two carriages had been empty these days.

However, the residents' shop was placed in the refrigerator in Carriage No. 11.

Old Zhu placed 10 refrigerators in Carriage No. 10. These 10 refrigerators were the dormitories for these 1,900+ survivors for the next period of time, 200 people per refrigerator.

Starting with the Third-Class Resident treatment.

Xiao Ai stood at the door of the refrigerator, implanting 'iris chips' one by one. Everyone who had a chip implanted would imitate the person in front of them and take the clothes that belonged to them from the side. Everyone queuing to enter the refrigerator, regardless of gender, was stark naked, without any clothes on their body.

But no one took another look.

Firstly, they were all a little dirty, and secondly... everyone was in this situation, so who would care about these things.

The difference between humans and dogs is that humans still pay attention to a bit of ambiance. At least there has to be a bit of atmosphere when doing that, a private space, gentle songs, etc. Those who are more extravagant have to ask that the other party be someone they like.

"None?"

Biao Zi frowned, leading a team of members standing aside, both responsible for deterrence and also wanting to select a few seedlings, such as those with high comprehensive physical fitness and mental strength, who could be trained into a reserve guard team.

There are so many residents on the train, their guards also have to expand, otherwise, if too many people die on an off-duty mission, there will be no one to fill in, at least they have to train a batch of reserve guards, right?

"None."

Xiao Ai, like an emotionless robot on an assembly line, kept implanting one iris chip after another.

"Because they often mine, their comprehensive physical fitness is good, but compared to the existing residents of the train, they are not as good."
