My Doomsday Train

"But things are different now."

"These past few days, everyone has enough bread and water. They even get a can of cola every day. Plus, they're protected by the train from those zombies and monsters. Do you think slaves would riot at a time like this?"

"Do you think Boss Mang needs a slave leader right now?"

"If you dare kill a slave right now, believe me, you'll be joining them in the grave immediately."

"This…"

The young man scratched the back of his head, realizing he had been a bit abrupt. "You're right, I spaced out."

Putting aside everything else.

These people had been floating around in the apocalypse for a year. To survive until now, even if they aren't geniuses, they've at least got good luck. The life they've been living these past few days is definitely the most carefree they've had since the apocalypse began.

They don't go hungry, and they don't have to worry about dying in a zombie's belly at any moment.

Everyone cherishes the current situation.

And they worry that this life will shatter like a bubble soon.

Most of the time, slave riots happen because they rely on being the train leader's main asset, certain that the train leader won't bear to kill them, thus trying to gain some rights for themselves. As the saying goes, the law does not punish the masses, and the train leader can't possibly kill all the rioting slaves.

Unless the enforcers also riot, then before the 'built-in fire control system,' there's a high chance that the train leader's life would be in danger.

Although the guns made inside the train can't harm the train leader, killing people isn't limited to just using guns.

Just then—

A voice echoed in the ears of all train leaders. Like last time, only train leaders could hear it, not even the deputy train leaders.

-

"The number of existing trains has exceeded fifty million."

"The conditions for starting the first phase have been met."

"The first phase is officially starting. This phase is called 'Departure.' During this phase, the number and types of monsters will increase."

-

It was just three simple sentences.

“. . . ”

Inside the Stellar train compartment, Chen Mang, sitting at the control panel, looked at the lines of text appearing on the screen, lost in thought, without speaking. The apocalypse had been going on for a year, and only now was it reaching the 'Departure' phase?

An increase in the number of monsters meant that the danger level in each area would increase.

Other than that, there didn't seem to be any other information.

He glanced at the 'Train Radio,' only to find that the people on the Train Radio were discussing it enthusiastically, even with some hidden excitement. Soon, he understood what excited these people.

The rewards for getting the first kill of a boss are exceptionally generous. It is said that six months ago, a train in the 'Iron Ridge Wasteland' quickly rose to prominence after getting the first kill of a certain boss, until it left the Iron Ridge Wasteland and went to a higher-level area.

It's just that…

Getting the first kill of a boss is extremely difficult. If your area has this monster, other areas also have this monster. Each area has a boss, and only the first person to kill this monster boss in all areas is considered to have obtained the first kill.

Without even considering the difficulty of killing it, the competition alone is with people from several regions.

“. . . ”

Chen Mang's eyes narrowed slightly, feeling a little tempted. Leaving aside other monsters, he could easily take down another Level 3 boss. There wouldn't be any higher-level monsters in the Iron Ridge Wasteland.

Of course.

Not only relying on the 'Train Blade,' a Level 10 'Train Blade' can easily break the defense of a Level 3 boss, but after all, it is a melee weapon. Facing a huge boss, it is somewhat inadequate. A high-level 'Heavy Machine Gun' is better when facing a boss.

Moreover—

In these five days, he not only mined iron ore, but he also divided the slaves into two groups to work.

They have brought him a total of 101,239 units of iron ore and 4,200 units of copper ore.

With the addition of this group of goblin slaves, the mining efficiency has almost increased in a straight line. Those goblin slaves spend almost the entire day mining.

He couldn't bear to watch it anymore and asked Old Pig to persuade Doba. He was worried that these goblins would work themselves to death. Steady progress is the key.

As a result, Doba replied.

The great goblins never need the pity of humans. Since ancient times, there have only been goblins who died in battle, and no goblins who died from exhaustion.

Alright.

Mine, keep mining.

It's just that at this rate, he will soon have to leave the Abyss of Doomsday. There is only one level 2 iron ore and one level 1 copper ore at the bottom of the Abyss of Doomsday. At most, in another ten days or so, these two mines will be completely mined.

At that time, he will have to find the next mine.

He hasn't found a resource point as rich as the 'Abyss of Doomsday' yet, so he can only continue to search for those scattered level 1 small mines in the wasteland. Having gotten used to mining level 2 iron ore, mining level 1 ore feels a bit uncomfortable.

For example, this level 1 'copper mine' under the Abyss of Doomsday.

After mining for five days, he only obtained 4,200 units of copper ore. The mining efficiency is enough, but the mine level is not high enough, unlike level 2 iron ore, where mining one unit of level 2 iron ore is equivalent to ten units of level 1 iron ore.

Whether you can encounter a boss, and whether you can get the first kill if you encounter a boss, all depends on luck.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ is ⊥ at ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ hair!

But you have to be prepared first.

Lest the opportunity come, and you miss it because you didn't prepare in advance, just like if he hadn't upgraded the carriage armor to level 2 first, and happened to come to the Abyss of Doomsday, he wouldn't have encountered these hundred-plus diligent goblins.

After consuming a full 90,000 units of iron ore.

The 'carriage steel armor' of all 8 carriages of the Stellar train, including a train head, have been upgraded to level 3.

“. . . ”

Chen Mang walked down from the train compartment, stood in the open space, and looked at his train. At this time, the armor on the surface of the train just had a strong sense of heaviness at a glance, and the pressure it brought to people naturally goes without saying.

Level 3 armor is almost immune to all Level 3 attack methods.

Whether it is a Level 3 bullet or an attack from a Level 3 monster, it is completely immune.

If he encountered that Level 3 Man-eating Spider again at this time, he wouldn't have to be so troublesome. He would just drive the train straight up to it. The boss couldn't break through his train's defense, but his Level 10 Train Blade could easily break through the boss's defense, directly putting him in an invincible position.

Even if you are huge, he can just drive the train around you a few more times, and it will naturally be chopped into minced meat.

Of course, the time consumed may be a little longer.

But if he were to encounter a 'corpse tide' again at this moment, it would really be a one-sided massacre. No monster in the corpse tide could break through his train's defense, but everywhere his train went was full of broken limbs and minced meat.

When the 'armor' was upgraded to Level 3, the Stellar train finally ushered in a qualitative change.

Extreme defense and extreme attack are both trump cards on their own.

Combined together, it is a royal flush.

With Level 1 armor and a Level 10 Train Blade, he was timid when facing the Level 3 Man-eating Spider boss.

With Level 3 armor and a Level 10 Train Blade, he will slam the train head into the Man-eating Spider's face and go to town.

"Go out and test the effect."

Chen Mang sat at the control panel, smiling as he lit a cigarette, looking out the window with a hint of anticipation in his eyes. He will make some more heavy machine gun bullets and go out to test the waters. Although he is not sure whether he will encounter a new monster boss, encountering a corpse tide is also good.

He still remembers that damned corpse tide that besieged him so many times back then.

He is back now.

You try besieging me again!
