My Doomsday Train

"Alright then."

Chen Mang pondered for a moment, then instructed, "Take these two women down and give them a simple wash with water, don't use too much. Then, tomorrow morning, tell all the slaves that whoever mines the most ore tomorrow will get first pick of one of these two women for the night."

"The second-highest will get the other one."

"Also, don't we have a few women among our slaves? Tomorrow, carefully tally the amount of ore they mine. If their efficiency is far lower than the others, then don't have them mine anymore, just add them to the logistics team."

"Understood!"

Old Zhu nodded seriously, took out a small notebook from his pocket, and recorded Chen Mang's orders. Only then were the two women taken away by several thugs.

Chen Mang didn't chat too much with this newly appointed "Thug Leader," just a few simple words. After learning the other's name, he had Old Zhu and Biaozi retreat.

His first impression of Biaozi was that he was full of vigor, with a body full of muscle, looking quite tough.

After the two left, Chen Mang lay down on the bed inside the train car, and sighed softly, wishing he had a cigarette before bed.

He needed a little mental sustenance.

But...

He couldn't find a single cigarette in Kun Ye's train head. This guy actually didn't smoke. Once the train is upgraded to level 2, he'll have to take a trip to the city ruins to see if he can find some cigarettes.

As for women to satisfy his physiological needs, he'll wait until he finds cigarettes. After all, without a post-coital cigarette, he has no interest at all. Lovemaking without that crucial element is no fun.

In a daze, he gradually drifted into dreamland.

This was the fourth day he had been in this world, and he slept a little more soundly than the previous three nights.

He had many dreams.

There were scenes of him spiritedly controlling the train, roaring wantonly across the wasteland.

There were also scenes of the train encountering a zombie horde, with everyone being buried in the mouths of the zombies.

There were also scenes of his subordinates betraying him, ultimately leaving him a lonely figure.

The next moment—

Chen Mang instantly woke up, all sleepiness gone. He jumped out of bed and stood on the train control platform, looking around. In the dark rainy night, he could vaguely see a group of wolf-like creatures surrounding the train, constantly growling softly. Although they hadn't launched an attack, they were already surrounded.

"Damn it!"

His expression changed slightly. He immediately sat on the control platform, his mind united with the train. Along with the roar of the train's engine, the feeling of being pushed back gradually increased. The train began to move forward in the dark rainy night. At the same time, the level 5 "Car Blades" around the car body extended and began to rotate at high speed.

The sound of the car blades cutting through the air mixed with the low growls of the wolf-like monsters, instantly turning the originally peaceful rainy night into a scene of murderous intent.

Then!

The train's speed gradually increased, and those wolf-like creatures didn't dare to block the train with their bodies, and fled to both sides. However...

"Slash!"

The high-speed rotating car blades on both sides cut any approaching wolves in two.

After the train's speed reached its peak, Chen Mang didn't escape far. This was where his mine was, and he had to guard it. He couldn't escape too far. Moreover, he glanced at these wolves, there were only twenty or thirty of them, far less terrifying than a zombie horde, not something he couldn't handle.

In terms of speed, these wolves were far inferior to the train.

Although they were more agile, Chen Mang quickly... with several collisions by the train, the last wolf was also buried in the rainy night.

After the crisis was resolved.

Chen Mang slowly stopped the train, left the train car, walked into the rainy night, and came to a wolf corpse. He lowered his head and looked at it expressionlessly. At this time, Old Zhu, Biaozi, and a group of thugs also rushed down from the No. 3 living car with weapons in hand, surrounding Chen Mang and guarding the surroundings.

"Master Mang!"

"..."

Chen Mang remained silent and didn't speak, just lowered his head and looked at the wolf corpse at his feet. He had seen this kind of monster in the "Newbie Guide", they were "Zombie Wolves", basically level 1 monsters, who mainly ate carrion in the wilderness.

Such as zombie corpses, human corpses, and the corpses of other monsters, etc.

Their aggressiveness wasn't very strong. Although they were social creatures, they weren't as exaggerated as zombie hordes. The number wouldn't exceed a hundred at most. Even if he hadn't been awakened, these wolves wouldn't have been able to breach the train's defenses, it would be difficult to tear open the train's iron skin.

But...

This incident reminded him that the train urgently needed vehicle accessories like "Radar". Since there was no way to get them for the time being, someone needed to be on night watch. This time there was no danger, but what if it was a zombie horde next time?

Being surrounded by a zombie horde, whether the train could be successfully started was a problem.

And the rotation of the "Car Blades" required the "Energy Stone" in the train head as an energy source. Although the consumption wasn't much, it couldn't rotate continuously. As time passed, they would definitely be trapped to death by the zombie horde.

"Biaozi."

Chen Mang stood in the dark rainy night, turned his head and looked at Biaozi beside him, and said softly, "Arrange for a few people to stand guard at night. If we encounter this kind of situation again, you and I might both die here."

"Yes, this kind of thing won't happen again."

Biaozi said in a somewhat ashamed and hoarse voice. He had actually arranged for someone to stand guard, but the other thugs didn't listen to him very well. He could only arrange for his own man, Heiwa, to stand guard, but who knew that this son of a bitch actually fell asleep!

He really couldn't say this out loud, if he did, Heiwa's life might not be spared, so he could only take the blame himself.

Although Master Mang didn't order it at first, this kind of thing was something that he, as the thug leader, should have arranged himself.

Just then—

Old Zhu stepped forward, squatted in the rain, picked up a piece of broken wolf meat, smelled it, and suddenly frowned, looking a little uneasy, "Brother Mang, the situation is a bit wrong."

"Normally speaking, this kind of 'Zombie Wolf' is a relatively easy-to-bully monster in the wilderness. They usually don't go too deep into the wilderness, and basically wander in the city ruins, looking for some carrion to eat."

"Unless some seriously injured or seriously ill elderly zombie wolves are driven to the depths of the wilderness by the wolf pack."

"But these zombie wolves are all very healthy adult zombie wolves. Logically speaking, they shouldn't appear in this location."

"Unless..."

"A more terrifying monster has appeared in the nearest city ruins, causing them to have to migrate."

"But if that's the case, the survivors in this city will be in danger. Perhaps many survivors around the city have already begun to flee, but the rainy night wilderness can only be a graveyard for them."

"These survivors usually hide deep in the city ruins, making it difficult to find them. At this time, there may already be trains going to receive this group of survivors."
