My Doomsday Train

Biaozi snorted coldly before narrowing his eyes slightly and continuing, “In the apocalypse, trust between people is extremely weak. It's very difficult to get the train leader to completely trust you. For one thing, how do we prove that we've handed over all of our gains this time?”

“This is almost an unsolvable proposition.”

“But with the train order, it's different. We'll hand over everything that allows us to stand on our own two feet. Do you think Mang Ye won't trust us then?”

He narrowed his eyes slightly and muttered, “Ordinary car blade fragments, even if upgraded to the maximum level, can't break the level 3 man-eating spider's defense. As long as this train can develop, our status and living environment will be much better than standing on our own.”

“Alright, you wouldn't understand even if I told you all this.”

“Anyway, you just need to know one thing: follow Mang Ye and work hard.”

“Oh.”

Hei Hao nodded weakly and said, “Every time you say that, the train leader dies within a few days.”

“The past is the past, the present is the present!”

“Mang Ye is different from other train leaders!”

Five hours later.

The train finally returned to the initial iron ore location. He looked at the familiar surroundings and the mine, and for a moment, he even felt a sense of familiarity. It was already noon.

A strong feeling of drowsiness surged into his mind.

He hadn't slept for a long time. He used the walkie-talkie to instruct Biaozi and arranged for people to stand guard. Then, after everyone had slept to replenish their strength, he walked to the bed inside the train car and collapsed without even taking off his clothes.

He was too sleepy.

Sleep first.

He'd think about it after waking up.

Perhaps he had stayed up too long. When he woke up, it was already four or five in the morning of the next day.

“Huff.”

Chen Mang groggily finished washing up inside the train car. He jumped out of the train car with a cigarette in his mouth. He saw that the wilderness was already quite lively. Many slaves were walking out of the carriages one after another, heading towards the mine.

“Mang Ye!”

Seeing Chen Mang wake up, Lao Zhu, who was directing from the side, hurriedly trotted over to report: “Some slaves woke up earlier and said they couldn't sleep, and wanted to go down to the mine. I thought about it and didn't dare to bother you with this little thing, so I agreed.”

“They are distributing bread slices and water to the newly awakened slaves over there.”

“We should mine more today. Many people went down to the mine at two or three in the morning.”

“Oh?”

A hint of surprise flashed in Chen Mang's eyes: “Are they all so motivated?”

“Yes.”

Lao Zhu said somewhat strangely, “I roughly asked a few people, and their answer was that the level 3 man-eating spider scared them. They don't want to die, and want to mine more ore to make the train stronger, so they can be safer.”

“They have awareness!”

Chen Mang couldn't help but laugh. Then he took out two packs of cigarettes from his pocket and threw them into Lao Zhu's arms: “Give one to you and Biaozi to share, and give one to the slaves. As long as they work hard, they won't be treated badly.”

“The enthusiasm of the slaves must be mobilized. Human potential is limitless.”

“Okay, you go back to work.”

“Alright.”

After Lao Zhu responded, he hurriedly went over to maintain order and distributed two cigarettes to each slave after opening the packs.

Chen Mang looked at the busy scene in the distance. He stood in the night wind, looked at the starry sky, and smiled softly without saying a word. It was still good to have such a deputy, at least he didn't need to worry about these trivial matters.

Then, he walked to the rear of the train alone.

He lit three cigarettes and inserted them into the wilderness one by one. Then, with a calm expression, he put his hands together, looked up at the sky, and muttered.

“May the work begin auspiciously.”

“May God bless me to continue mining here for seven days. By then, this mine will be almost completely mined, and I can go find the next new mine.”

Although this man-eating spider accident gave him a good harvest.

But not every accident has a good ending.

It's best if there are no accidents.

He sincerely prayed several times in his heart, then took out the three cigarettes inserted in the ground, patted the mud off the ends, stuffed all three cigarettes into his mouth, and walked all the way to the front of the train, leaning on his cane.

In the apocalypse.

Tobacco is a scarce commodity, so it can't be wasted. As long as the intention is there, that's enough.

Smoking three at once is quite strong.

Inside the train car.

After Chen Mang walked around and inspected the area, he returned to the console again. He pressed the red button on the console labeled "Vehicle Accessories". Immediately, the screen next to him showed the 12 vehicle accessories that could be built after the train was upgraded to level 2.

-

「Train Radio」: Green grade accessory, requires 500 units of iron ore to build.

「Crafting Table」: Green grade accessory, requires 500 units of iron ore to build.

「Three-legged Cat Heavy Machine Gun」: Green grade accessory, requires 500 units of iron ore to build.

「12.7mm Heavy Machine Gun Bullet Production Line」: Green grade accessory, requires 500 units of copper ore.

「Target Acquisition Radar」: Green grade accessory, requires 500 units of iron ore to build.

「Resource Detection Radar」: Green grade accessory, requires 500 units of iron ore to build.

-

These six accessories are mandatory to build and are necessary accessories for the train to be upgraded to level 3.

They are all very useful.

In addition, there are six vehicle accessories that are not mandatory to build.

-

「Car Audio」: White grade accessory, requires 100 units of iron ore to build.

「Built-in Fire Control System」: Green grade accessory, requires 1000 units of iron ore to build.

「5.56mm Rifle Bullet Production Line」: Green grade accessory, requires 500 units of copper ore.

「Clothing Customization Production Line」: White grade accessory, requires 100 units of wood.

「Simple First Aid Kit」: White grade accessory, requires 100 units of iron ore to build.

「Train Auxiliary AI」: Green grade accessory, requires 500 units of iron ore to build.

-

This time, there was no extra red-grade vehicle accessory. It seems that the "Rare Train Order" only gives two red-grade vehicle accessories.

After the train is upgraded to level 2.

The manufacturable accessories are obviously much stronger than when the train was at level 1.

He wanted every one of these 12 manufacturable accessories. He needed every one of them. It would take a lot of resources to build them all and upgrade them to a certain level.

Moreover,

He also wanted to install two heavy machine guns on top of each of his carriages, which would directly maximize his sense of security. However, the heavy machine gun bullet production line required copper ore to manufacture. Without a doubt, producing bullets also required a large amount of copper ore. He had not yet encountered copper ore.

“The task is heavy and the road is long.”

Chen Mang sighed softly and looked far into the depths of the wilderness. When would he have a fully equipped level 2 train?
