My Doomsday Train.

Chapter 290 Speedrun Master! (Seeking monthly votes at the end of the month)
The second time, he won the grand prize 1283 times.

This was the third time, and the 129th time he had won the grand prize.

The fourth time, 912 times, he won the grand prize.

The fifth time.
"confirmed."

Chen Mang turned to look at Old Pig beside him and instructed, "It probably has nothing to do with luck. It might really be what Da Mao said, using a sense of conviction to hypnotize oneself, thereby increasing the probability of bringing out level 9 iron ore from the Cyber ​​Mine."

"The Cyber ​​mine will be shut down tomorrow."

"Let Da Mao teach the other miners and see if it works."

"Yes."

After doing all this, Chen Mang returned to his train cabin and looked at the two level 9 iron ores he had just acquired.

This is the advantage of having multiple sources of iron ore.

Iron ore always seems to appear from time to time.

In addition to these two level 9 iron ores.

At this point, the iron ore balance in the train had reached—

"8.49 million units of iron ore!"
That's enough to upgrade the armor to level 20.

Chen Mang glanced at the two level 9 iron ores, chuckled, and walked towards the shower room. He would sleep first and upgrade tomorrow. He had been looking forward to the overpowered effects of the level 20 armor for a long time, but he was too tired and didn't have enough energy.

After he wakes up tomorrow.

Light a cigarette, sit in a chair, and read slowly. Save the good news for when you're at your best.

"Keep mining tonight."

"I'm going to sleep now."

Under the starry sky.

The Stellar train sped through the "Twilight Coast" region at an extremely high speed.

Eighty-one Class 20 Viper drones with permanent range followed closely behind the train, acting as an escort.

at this time--

The train was quite quiet.

Most people were already asleep, and only a few were still active, but they tiptoed around as much as possible without disturbing others.

Inside the train, messages flashed across the dimly lit control panel screen.

There are 12 level 4 iron mines within the area; skip them and prioritize finding level 5 iron mines.

There are 11 level 4 iron mines within the area; skip them and prioritize finding level 5 iron mines.

"There are 13 level 4 iron mines and 1 level 5 iron mine within the area, but a train is already mining them, so skip it and prioritize finding the level 5 iron mine."

"Withdrawal omitted."

"The train stopped mining and left, leaving the Level 5 iron mine an abandoned Level 5 iron mine, ready for mining."

Under the night.

The Stellar train slowly came to a stop near a level 5 iron mine. After landing steadily on the ground, a series of jets of steam came from the train. The door of carriage number 10 opened, and thousands of mining robots carrying pickaxes stepped off the train with highly mechanical movements and headed towards the mine.

The whole scene was quite impressive in the night.

Xiao Ai resolutely carried out the instructions Chen Mang left before he went to sleep.

just
In a corner of the twilight coast.

A man in the train compartment, his back chilled with relief, looked back. Only after confirming that the 81 fighter jets had not followed did he breathe a sigh of relief. Luckily, he escaped quickly, otherwise he would have been buried with that level 5 iron ore mine!

Level 5 iron ore is rare, but it's not as valuable as his life.

If it weren't for the special device he possessed that could detect information about other train parts, he might have had to tough it out!
After all, he's not weak either.

He was stunned when he saw the train, which had level 19 armor and 81 level 20 Viper drones. Was this the strength that a train in the Red Zone should have?

Without saying a word, he ran away!
He glanced at the train radio, hesitating slightly whether to leak the news. He had been in the red zone for a long time and had seen almost all the trains in this area. This was clearly a newly promoted train.

Moreover, it was a newly promoted train that jumped to level 18 in one go.

He thought about it and decided to talk to a few train conductors he was on good terms with about it. It was just too illogical. How could the green-grade accessory "Steel Armor for the Carriage" be upgraded to level 19?

It takes 16 Murphy Stones to upgrade a carriage to level 19.

The train has 14 carriages and one locomotive, which means it requires 240 Murphy stones.

240 Murphy stones!

Good grief, do you think you own Neon City and have an unlimited supply of Murphy stones?
at this time--

The man suddenly froze on the spot, an unbelievable possibility flashing through his mind. His voice trembled slightly as he said, "God of Wealth, can you check if the surveillance footage captured the side of that train? I remember seeing some paint sprayed on the side of that train."

"Yes, conductor."

Inside the train, the sound of electronic machinery soon filled the air; the God of Wealth was the name he gave to his AI.

quickly!

The surveillance footage was displayed on the control panel screen.

When the video is played in slow motion, frame by frame, the side of the train appears slightly blurry on the screen.

"Fuck it all, Stellar."

"Grandma's"

The man swallowed the saliva that welled up in his mouth, his throat bobbing. He shakily lit a cigarette. What a coincidence! Neon City had been really popular in their area lately; he'd been inside several times.
Many items in the "Mechanical Train Parts Shop" are labeled as being supplied by the Stellar Train.

The star tickets in the neon city are also named after stars.

Many people secretly suspect that this neon city might belong to the starship, not only because of these coincidences, but also because they have all been to the adventure map, but none of the adventure maps are as human-like as "neon city".

Humanized like
Many people are involved in management and operation.

He never imagined he would see the Stellar train in reality. It was just too domineering. He was mining there peacefully, and they had to come and steal his mine. Couldn't they have gone to find other mines?
but.
He glanced at the parts information of his train on the control panel screen. It seemed that the other train did indeed have formidable strength, and was not in the same league at all.

"I finally found a level 5 mine."

The man's voice trembled with tears as he said resentfully, "Why? You're so powerful, why don't you go find a new level 5 mine instead of bullying him? Just because you're strong doesn't mean you can bully people at will. Is there no justice in this world?"

Resentful, he turned on the train radio and told a few friends the news.

Tell everyone to be careful.

If you see the Stellar coming to steal your resources, run!

To avoid losing their lives for a little iron ore, those level 19 armored vehicles and 81 level 20 unmanned Viper fighters are only something a few big shots in the red zone can hold off; it would be difficult for others to withstand them.

"Director Zhang."

Old Pig frowned slightly as he looked at the script in his hand. After a long silence, he finally spoke, "Can you tell me why you wanted to write this script?"

"no problem."

Zhang Yiren said with some interest, "Isn't it just me making movies on the Stellar now? I think movies should be diverse. We can't just make one type of movie. We should make multiple types of movies. This is a good script that I've thought of these past two days."

"Thriller genre."

"The protagonist finally escaped from a female ghost wearing embroidered shoes after going through many hardships and returned safely to his family. Everyone gathered together to celebrate and presented the protagonist with a cake with candles on it."

"The protagonist, who had survived the ordeal, looked at his family and friends with gratitude on his face. In the instant he blew out the candles, he saw out of the corner of his eye that all his family and friends were wearing embroidered shoes."

"How is it? Doesn't it taste great?"

"."

Old Pig handed the script back to Zhang Yiren and sighed softly: "It really has a lot of flavor. Is writing a script this easy for you? Your inspiration just keeps coming. This script is definitely not going to be filmed."

"Mang Ye hates these kinds of movies the most, especially those that are thrillers and romances."

"And as you know, Master Mang usually likes to watch movies, and he'll watch all the movies you make. This one definitely can't be made. How's that zombie movie that Master Mang asked you to make last time going?"

"It's almost finished filming."

Zhang hurriedly pointed to the filming crew not far away and said, after hesitating for a moment, "Captain Pig, there's something I want to tell you. My crew is short-handed, and I'd like to recruit some people."

"Then I can pay them their wages."

"but."

"I don't have any revenue streams, so I was thinking, could we try a paid movie ticket system first? We could set the ticket price at 0.1 Stellar Coupons or something, and do a pilot program?"

"No."

Old Pig shook his head and rejected the opinion: "Promoting the development of a free market economy within the train is a very complex matter. It needs to be viewed from a dialectical perspective. Putting aside everything else, if you want to adopt a market economy, the filming locations, space gates, holographic images, and various props you are using now all belong to the Stellar."

Why should I let you use it for free?

"Aren't you going to pay?"

"Also, if you enjoy the protection of the Stellar in the apocalypse, do you have to pay for that too?"

"A market economy cannot be driven up in a short period of time, so don't even think about it, especially with so many residents being laid off recently."

"Everyone is eager to find a suitable job in Japan."

"I have no interest in spending money to watch movies."

"We'll talk about this later. I'm going to look around somewhere else."

Zhang Yiren watched Lao Zhu's departing figure and hurriedly added, "When the new film comes out, I hope you, Captain Zhu, will give it a review and some suggestions."

Only after Lao Zhu had completely left the "film and television base" did he sigh softly, light a cigarette, and remain lost in thought for a long time.

this time.

He had actually been thinking about something: his resident number was quite late, "5122," which was not a good sign. He usually had a lot of contact with the high-ranking officers of the Stellar, so he actually had his own judgment and insights into the situation on the Stellar.

Going forward, the most important thing on the Starship will be the resident number; the earlier the number, the higher the status.

so.
He actually wanted to try to move his resident ID number up a notch.

Normally, this is impossible. There's a specific role for everyone; otherwise, who would trade this item with you?

but--

As far as he knew, when the Stellar was in the green area "Sand River Plain", one of its henchmen died. The henchman's number was 78 at the time, and after he died, that number became vacant.

He wanted to get the number, but he was a bit clueless. The main problem was that there was no precedent for this train. He tried to get the train conductor's information, but he couldn't figure it out at all.

Its daybreak.

When the sun rises.

Chen Mang also got out of bed, first standing by the bed to get dressed while looking out the window at the mining machines that had been working all night, then washing up, sitting in a chair, lighting a cigarette, and starting to check the train log.

The whole process has become a habit.

As long as he does this routine every morning when he wakes up, he will feel a sense of comfort in his safe zone. If he can't do this routine when he wakes up in the morning, he will feel a little uncomfortable.

Just like how hotel mattresses are cleaner and softer than those at home, they just don't give you the same sense of security as sleeping at home.

Humans are best suited to stay in their own kennels.

No matter how messy or bad it is, it's still good for you.

After the train was expanded, the area of ​​the train compartment increased significantly. At first, I felt a little uncomfortable, but now I've completely gotten used to it.

"Preparing for an upgrade."

Chen Mang rubbed his hands together, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes, preparing to welcome the supermodel effect of his level 20 armor.

at this time--

"Mr. Mang."

Xiao Fang, who was standing nearby, carefully walked over with a bowl of steaming noodles and placed it on the table: "This is today's breakfast."

"."

Chen Mang glanced at the noodles on the table and was slightly taken aback. He hadn't seen any new food on the train for a long time.

A steaming bowl of scallion oil noodles, topped with scallions and scallion oil, with a poached egg half-hidden in the noodles, looking both inviting and reluctant. The air is filled with the faint aroma of scallions, and there is a small bowl of scallion sauce on the side.

"If you feel the flavor isn't strong enough, Mr. Mang, you can add some more scallion sauce."

"You did it?"

"Ah."

"Taste it!"

Chen Mang rolled up his sleeves, took the chopsticks from Xiao Fang, and sat down in the chair with some anticipation. He looked at the bowl of scallion oil noodles on the table, picked up a mouthful, blew on it, and put it in his mouth. He chewed slowly, his eyes lit up slightly, and the corners of his mouth turned up.

"It tastes pretty good."

He then picked up his chopsticks and began to eat heartily, finishing a bowl of noodles in just a few minutes, and even drinking all the soup.

The noodle soup, infused with scallion oil, is extremely savory and fragrant. Add a touch of egg crumbs, and it tastes absolutely delicious.

"it is good!"

Chen Mang placed the bowl and chopsticks aside with some satisfaction, and looked at Xiao Fang in a good mood. Suddenly, he found Xiao Fang extremely pleasing to the eye today: "You can do this too?"

“I didn’t know how to cook before. Last time, you said you hoped I would learn to cook, so I did.”

"I just said it offhand. Never mind, where would noodles and scallions come from on a train? I didn't know there were those on trains."

"Mr. Mang."

Xiao Fang stepped forward and tidied up the dishes, whispering, "You're standing too high and looking too far ahead. You've almost forgotten what's under your feet. Neon City has tens of millions of Stellar Vouchers flowing in every day. The numbers are too big. Mr. Mang, you're only thinking about big things."

"I don't have much ability, and I can't see too far ahead."

"Last night, I borrowed some Star Coupons from Sister Chuchu and the others, and bought some scallions, noodles, seasonings and such in the neon city to make this bowl of scallion oil noodles."

"It cost over 800 Star Tickets."

"It's a pity I didn't save up too many Stellar Vouchers, otherwise I could have bought more ginger and cucumber strips and made you a bowl of Zhajiangmian (noodles with soybean paste)."

"."

Chen Mang paused for a moment, then looked at Xiao Fang with a gentler gaze: "Put that bowl of uneaten scallion sauce in the refrigerator. I'll have it for lunch. Make a few more bowls next time, I'm not satisfied."

After Xiaofang left.

Chen Mang lit a cigarette, looked at the control panel screen, tapped his knuckles lightly on the table, exhaled a long puff of smoke, and said calmly with a hint of reminiscence, "Xiao Ai, Xiao Ai."

"With so many people coming and going in the neon city every day, why doesn't anyone think of buying some food in the neon city to make something nice for me?"

"I can't remember."

"Didn't any of these people intend to come either?"

"Conductor."

Inside the train, Xiao Ai's helpless voice came: "Maybe no one expected that your daily meals are actually similar to those of the residents. Everyone assumes that you eat better, since Lao Zhu and Biao Zi often only see you once every few days."

"So they don't know, and neither do you?"

"I'm AI, I don't need to eat, I have no concept of that."

After pondering for a moment, Chen Mang said, "Appoint Xiao Fang as the head of internal affairs, responsible for the train room, with the right to enter the train room and allocate some resources at any time."

"His compensation has been upgraded to that of a Level 2 senior talent."

"Reimburse Xiaofang for the cost of the groceries she just bought."

"Yes."

It seems like the old pig is in charge of the housekeeping.

Old Pig is very good at managing the train's internal affairs, but he's not as good as Xiao Fang when it comes to details, especially regarding his eating habits.

Yan Yao, in carriage number 5, looked blankly at the information that popped up on the iris chip.
-
"Announcement to all passengers: Personnel changes."

"Resident number 99, Xiaofang is appointed as the internal affairs supervisor, who is in charge of all miscellaneous tasks in the train room, enjoys some resource allocation rights, and has the treatment of a level 2 senior talent."
-
After a long while, Yan Yao looked at Ji Chuchu in a daze.

"Sister Chu Chu"

"If I remember correctly, Xiaofang borrowed our Stellar Vouchers, right? How did she end up in our place?"

"Use our money to do her thing?"

"."

Ji Chuchu looked down at her manicured nails, a hint of disappointment flashing deep in her eyes. After a long while, she forced a smile and turned to look out the window: "Men, either satisfy him up there or satisfy him down there."

"It's obvious that Xiaofang's cooking is pretty good."

at this time.

The door to carriage number 5 was pushed open, and Xiao Fang excitedly ran over: "Sister Chu Chu, Master Mang said that the scallion oil noodles I just learned are delicious. He wants to eat them again at noon. I have to especially thank Sister Chu Chu and Sister Yan Yao for lending me the Hengxing Coupon, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to make this bowl of noodles."

"Sister Fang, what are you saying?"

Ji Chuchu was the first to greet her, putting her arm around Xiao Fang's shoulder and smiling gently: "You can't call me Sister Chuchu anymore, just call me Xiao Chu."

"Sister Chuchu, don't be like this. I should thank you for teaching me so much. In my heart, you will always be my sister."

After this little incident ended.

Sitting in front of the control panel, Chen Mang looked at the control panel screen. As 8 million units of iron ore were crushed and integrated into the carriage, the green-grade accessory "Carriage Steel Armor" finally reached level 20!
Level 20 armor!

Immune to all level 20 attack power.

Moreover, it once again achieves a brand new supermodel effect.
-
"Steel Armor of the Carriage Level 20 Supermodel Effect": The surface is coated with an 'ion coating', which allows the carriage to repair itself quickly when damaged.
-
not bad.

The armor accessory has excellent overpowered effects at levels 5 and 10. Level 5 provides immunity to corrosion from liquids and fog, while level 10 halves the upgrade cost. This overpowered effect saved the Stellar billions of units of iron ore resources.

Without this supermodel effect.

To upgrade from level 19 to level 20, you'll need 16 billion iron ore units instead of 8 million!
That's an astronomical number. It would require 16 level 5 iron mines. If the Starship didn't have so many other sources of iron ore, it's unknown how long it would have to stay on the Twilight Coast to gather that many units of iron ore.

To accumulate 16 billion units of iron ore, you need to mine at least 20 level 5 iron mines for procurement. This stuff isn't something you just mine and don't use.

Just like someone earning 10,000 a month, being able to save 50,000 in a year is already genius; being able to save 100,000 is like being a god; and being able to save 120,000 is like a wandering Pixiu in a park, only taking in and never giving out.

He was quite satisfied with the quick repair result.

A few days ago in the "Rejuvenation" map, the latter half of the Stellar's carriage was damaged, and he repaired it using "Mechanical Nano Spiders". After getting this supermodel effect, it will be automatically repaired.

The main thing is.

This "quick repair" does not require the consumption of iron ore; it is an effect inherent to the ion coating.

This also means.

Assuming the dream is recreated, even if the train is in that crisis again, and even if its armor level is lower than the monster's level, the train's armor can last for a long time through rapid repairs.

If combined with mechanical nano-spiders, the repair speed is even faster, allowing it to last longer and even directly contend with them.

It looks great, like a supermodel. He really likes it.

After upgrading his armor, Chen Mang picked up the walkie-talkie to contact Erdan. He didn't plan to linger on "Twilight Coast" and headed straight for the golden area as quickly as possible.
"could not be reached?"

He tried a few more times, and only after confirming that he could not reach the other party did he put down the walkie-talkie.

It must have wandered into some kind of adventure map.

That's fast enough.

Only one night had passed when he found the adventure map. He simply left a message for Erdan, telling him to come find him in Neon City after he left the adventure map. He left Erdan some Murphy Stones there to upgrade Erdan's armor. As for iron ore resources, he would deal with them when Erdan came out.

"How much more is needed for that level 5 iron mine?"

Chen Mang turned his head to look out the window at the mining machines that were still busy at work.

It was just dawn.

All things come back to life.

"The project is expected to be completed in about 30 minutes."

Xiao Ai's voice came from inside the train cabin.

"Ah."

Chen Mang nodded, then looked at the star map on the screen again and said softly, "Is there any difference from yesterday?"

This galaxy map spans 10 light-years.

An extremely exaggerated distance.

It's difficult for the human brain to discern any difference between today and yesterday, let alone the fact that much information is abbreviated at a glance. You have to zoom in on a corner of the map to see more information.

"There are differences, but not major ones. For example, many celestial bodies are constantly moving, etc."

"There are no black holes, nor are there any stars on the verge of collapse."

"Perhaps it's because the area near the Zerg civilization's stronghold is so clean, the surrounding area has been thoroughly cleared."

"."

Chen Mang remained silent, gazing at the left side of the galaxy map. The territory of the Zerg civilization shown on the map alone spanned over 30,000 light-years, and that was only a part of it; the entire territory must be even larger.

We need to get to the mining planet as soon as possible.

The galaxy map is very interesting.

Even if you watch for half an hour, you won't get tired of it. Zoom in little by little to look at it, and each time you watch it, you will deepen your impression of the specific civilization forces outside the universe. Soon, half an hour will pass in a flash.

All the mining robots returned in an orderly fashion to the "miner's base" in carriage number 10.

The train set off again.

This time, instead of using magnetic levitation wheels, they switched to bunny clouds and flew towards the depths of the sea. There are two golden areas connected to the "Twilight Coast," one of which is a huge island located deep in the sea.

One is located on the north side of the twilight coast, where there is a mountain range.

He longed for the sea more.

So he chose to go to the golden area, "Deep Sea Island".

After flying about 10,000 meters, a huge light screen appeared ahead, with four large characters for "light" written on it. Without stopping, we passed straight through it and entered the golden area.

"A deserted island in the deep sea".
-
"The area ahead is a golden zone, a remote island in the deep sea."

"Monsters up to level 21 can exist. The current train level is level 18, so the risk factor is high. Please be careful."
-
"."

Sitting inside the train, Chen Mang looked out the window at the turbulent scene and chuckled softly.

Plans can never keep up with changes.

While in the purple zone "Stone Man", the red zone left a deep impression on him. Those trains were all heavily armed, and each train had its own methods. In order to survive safely in the red zone, he made a lot of preparations.

but.
When he was truly ready to enter the red zone, he discovered that he was already invincible in the red zone. He didn't even stay in the red zone for more than two days before embarking on his journey again.

This is probably life.

Things you once thought were very difficult, when you are fully prepared to face them, you find that they are not nearly as difficult as you thought, and are even quite simple and easy.

He loves the sea.

It always carries a fatal romance.

However, the sun was high in the sky at that moment, in the middle of the morning, and the deep blue sea and scattered seagulls could be clearly seen. He preferred the sea at night.

That kind of extreme blackness.

The oppressive feeling of despair was overwhelming, with no one and no land in sight.

The sea breeze fiercely stole away body heat.

All I could hear was the roar of the waves. I wanted to moisten my dry, chapped lips with my saliva, but the taste of sea salt only made me thirstier.

He liked this feeling of despair.

The premise is that he stays on the train. He likes to stay on the train and enjoy this sense of despair; otherwise, this sense of despair wouldn't be as wonderful and engaging.

Just like the difference between certain forms of entertainment and torture, it might just be the absence of a single safe word.

If torture could be set with safe words, I believe many people would be willing to experience it.

"Train conductor, do you like the sea?"

"like."

"Then you're in luck."

"How to say?"

Inside the train, Xiao Ai said, "It's a planet 2.3 light-years away from Water Blue Star. That planet is 100% made up of ocean. Train conductor, you should like it. We can go and have some fun there."

"Can consider it."

Chen Mang laughed; he suddenly felt a sense of anticipation for his future interstellar journey.

"Leave now?!"

On the edge of the Twilight Coast, a train was parked beside a cliff. The man inside the train looked blankly in the direction where the Starship had gone. The other party had just entered the Twilight Coast yesterday and robbed him of a level 5 mine.

Then they didn't linger at all.

Are we heading straight to the "golden zone"?

You should at least raid a few more level 5 mines.

That way he'd feel a little better, at least he wouldn't be the only one being robbed. Why did you only rob him and then just walk away without looking back?

Was he just unlucky enough to run into this?

but
The man frowned in thought. This train was clearly not a normal one. Logically speaking, when a normal train enters a region, the first thing it does is not to rob someone else's mine, right? And the second thing it does is certainly not to go directly to a higher-level region, right?
He looks like a speedrunning pro!

"Could it be?" He nodded thoughtfully.

It seems the expert restarted the game and then tried to speedrun from the white area to the rainbow area?

He originally thought he was already in the top tier globally, but it was clear that he was no match for the Stellar, they were not even in the same league.

That must be the reason, right?

Also good.

After that, no one tried to steal his iron ore.

"arrive."

After advancing about 100,000 meters, Chen Mang's expression gradually became serious. He sat in a chair and looked at the huge island not far away.

The island's center is covered in dense jungle, while the surrounding area is barren beach, resembling a bald head.

"Eh?"

"Looks familiar."

There were quite a few humans on that island.

There are at least ten or twenty thousand of them, densely packed together.

If he hadn't known it was the end of the world, he would have thought he had arrived at some kind of resort.

On the land surrounding the island, many houses such as wooden cabins and tents have been built, and trains can be seen from time to time emerging from the sea like fish.

"Is this the gold zone?"

Chen Mang frowned slightly as he looked at the enemy detection radar. He had thought there would be very few people in the golden area, but he hadn't expected there to be so many people and so many trains.

But why are all those trains Class 1?
And why isn't there even a single monster?

Could the golden area be a peaceful area? That shouldn't be the case, because he clearly saw a large number of level 5 mines on both the seabed and the islands on the resource detection radar, and even several level 6 mines!

That level 6 iron mine is worth 10 billion units of iron ore!

Despite having a gold mine, they don't even have a single Class 2 train.

What's the difference between you and Liu Xiahui?

He had seen this island before. He had once sent Mundo with the Eye of the Machine to teleport randomly to see what was going on in other areas. One of the scenes he saw was of this area, but at the time he didn't know that it was actually a golden area.

Filled with doubt, Chen Mang slowly flew the Stellar Train over the island and landed it on a stretch of Gobi Desert. The survivors below scattered around.

"boom!"

The train slowly crashed to the ground.

The door of the No. 7 guard carriage opened, and Biaozi and the others quickly got off, their faces hard as they pointed their guns at the survivors. Then, several black hole armed robots also got off the carriage to provide armed security.

Then——

Chen Mang had just taken the elevator from the train station to the ground when he looked at a group of residents not far away, their eyes filled with a mixture of anticipation and trepidation as they looked at them. He frowned. Strange, really strange, this place is too strange!

Everyone was dressed in clothes made of animal fur.

They look like wild men.

He had seen many train conductors who treated slaves poorly, but even the worst conductor wouldn't be so stingy as to not even make a set of clothes for his slaves. Making a set of clothes only costs 1 unit of wood, and the center of that island required several level 5 lumber mills.

That's enough to create tens of millions of outfits.

This wood has no other use, yet you wouldn't even bother to make a single piece of clothing from it?
Xiao Ai, who was standing beside her, said through the external speakers that her voice carried throughout the entire island: "Anyone who has a voice, step forward."

The words fell.

Everyone turned their attention to a middle-aged man at the back of the crowd. This man, also dressed in animal clothing, took a deep breath before walking out of the crowd to stand in front of Chen Mang and speaking earnestly.

"My name is Chen Guanping, a professor at Xihai University."

"In the past two years since the crisis, I have led everyone to survive, and everyone respects me. I am considered to have some influence."

"May I ask you all, is this a rescue mission sent by the federal government?"

"Rescue?"

Biaozi and the others standing to the side exchanged glances upon hearing this, all seeing the bewilderment in each other's eyes. What an archaic term! They hadn't heard the words "federal government rescue" in a long time.

"."

Chen Mang looked the middle-aged man up and down, making sure he wasn't carrying any special gadgets and didn't seem mentally challenged, before saying softly, "The end of the world is coming, do you know that?"

“We know that nearly two years ago, the apocalypse came, and many of us suddenly fainted. When we woke up again, we found ourselves in this place.”

"I haven't seen anyone else since then."

"Which train are you the conductor of? How many slaves do you have?"

"Train conductor?"

The middle-aged man shook his head: "I'm not a train conductor, and I don't know what slavery is."

"There are so many iron ore deposits in the center of the island, why don't you mine them?"

"We don't have any level 1 ore, we only have level 1 pickaxes, so we can't mine."

Chen Mang fell silent upon hearing this. That made sense. If one were randomly assigned to this golden area after the apocalypse, it would indeed be quite absurd. Not being able to mine a single ore would be pointless, like sitting on a gold mine.

Is the outside world quiet now?

The middle-aged man asked tentatively, a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

"It's almost quiet now."

"In a few more days, they will all be dead."

Chen Mang's gaze bypassed the middle-aged man and pointed to the steel canisters scattered on the ground not far away: "What are those?"

He recognized those steel tanks.

It has cracks and holes at the bottom, and looks like a large amoxicillin, and is completely black.

He now has two on the train.

One of them was found by Biaozi when he was scavenging for discarded materials in the city. There were some livestock hiding inside.

Another one is the one Erdan encountered in the "Zombie Basin" village, where some survivors had arrived.

This thing is quite large.

Moreover, it can block radar detection. He tried it, and even though his target detection radar is now level 100, it still cannot detect the creature hiding in the jar. He has always kept it as a precious treasure.

There were hundreds of them on the beach!

"Oh, what are you referring to, boss?"

The middle-aged professor glanced back before hurriedly explaining, "When we suddenly appeared on this island, we had no food. We found many broken jars on the beach, and then a lot of slimy insect eggs flowed out of the jars. The scene looked terrifying."

"But when you're starving, these worm eggs are a great supplement."

"The insect eggs ranged in size from large to small, about the size of a fist, medium-sized, about the size of an ostrich egg, and even larger ones, about the size of a refrigerator."

“Some people had lighters in their pockets, so everyone got together and went to the island to cut down trees to feed the insect eggs.”

"That's how I survived."

"Later, we used these steel cans to make things like pickled fish, to preserve food."

He was a little unsure of the identities of these people. They didn't seem to be from the military, and the train that stretched like a mechanical dragon didn't seem to be federal technology. It seemed more like an upgraded version of the train they had created using the "Train Order."

But he still behaved quite respectfully, after all, the Gatling guns in the hands of those robots and strong men were no joke, they were genuine carbon-based biological killing machines.

One burst of bullets.

No one present survived.

"."

After a long silence, Chen Mang took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and exhaled a puff of smoke: "Didn't anyone die from it?"

"No, it's all protein, how could it kill someone?"

"how is the taste?"

"There was meat inside, and the texture of the meat was good, but I couldn't tell what kind of meat it was. It tasted rather fishy. Later, we dried some sea salt, and the taste improved. Although untreated sea salt is not suitable for long-term use, we couldn't worry about that at the time."

"After you killed the insect eggs, did anything fall out of them? Like Murphy stones or tokens?"

"That's not the case."

"Good."

Chen Mang nodded slightly and said softly, "You've turned a perfectly good doomsday train into a wilderness survival exercise."

He finally knew exactly what that steel tank was for.

Now I finally understand why there are no monsters left on this golden area of ​​the island.

There are only some monsters in the sea.

That steel tank is used to transport insect eggs, ensuring that the eggs from outside the planet can safely fall onto the planet. After landing, the steel tank shatters, the insect eggs spill out, and they begin to prepare to dominate!
but.
Unfortunately, by a twist of fate, the insect eggs on the isolated island were all taken and roasted by the starving survivors.

This can be considered nipping the threat in the bud.

Otherwise, if even one monster were to hatch, not a single survivor would be able to live on this deserted island. It's fortunate that the sea monsters don't attack the island, otherwise everyone here would be wiped out.

While the whole world is scrambling to escape.

This group of people has started doing wilderness construction here; I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

He then pointed to a group of wooden houses not far away.

"Did you build those houses too?"
