The "Survival on the Train" game has bugs, it's really laggy!

"Small fire!"

"Yes, Master!"

"Set the final destination: Terra City! Full speed ahead!" Su Yuan waved his hand, full of vigor.

"Okay!"

Xiao Huo responded and immediately returned to the driver's seat.

The black "Imperial Journey: Devourer" train let out a loud whistle, its wheels slowly turning before suddenly accelerating, transforming into a streak of dark green light as it burst out of the eerie and unsettling "Black Swan Lake" station.

The train sped along the desolate tracks.

The view outside the window had completely turned into a blurry stream of light, so fast that it was impossible for the naked eye to perceive it.

After being baptized by the mythical energy of the diamond treasure chest, the entire train underwent a transformative evolution.

Xiao Huo's voice, tinged with barely concealed excitement, came through the speaker on the driver's console.

"Master! I feel... I feel like our car has changed!"

"How come it's different?" Su Yuan leaned back on the sofa, closed his eyes to rest, still savoring the vast spatial knowledge he had just experienced.

"It's just... it feels like it's 'alive' again!" Xiao Huo seemed to be organizing her thoughts. "Before, although it was alive, it was more like a plant, needing to take root and absorb nutrients."

"But now, it seems... it seems to have become a real 'beast'! A beast that can freely hunt in the void!"

Xiao Huo became more and more excited as she talked.

"I can feel that the energy conversion efficiency of our train has increased at least threefold! Before, eating a piece of meat could only convert one unit of energy, but now it can convert three units! Moreover, those six killer vines have become more resilient and flexible! I feel that I can now use them to dismantle a small mountain effortlessly!"

"And there's more!" Little Fire continued, as if presenting a treasure, "I've discovered that our carriage seems to have developed a very strange characteristic!"

"What characteristics?"

"It's... 'spatial stability'!" Xiao Huo's voice carried a hint of uncertainty. "I can't quite describe what it feels like, it's like... our vehicle isn't just running on the tracks anymore, it... it's like it can 'nail' itself into space! No matter how the outside world changes, it can maintain absolute stability!"

"Spatial stability?"

Upon hearing these four words, Su Yuan suddenly opened his eyes.

He immediately remembered the "Core of the World Dimension" that he had just obtained.

Could it be... that thing that's affecting the train?

With a thought, he took the azure sphere out of his storage bracelet.

Sure enough, the moment he took out the "Core of the World Plane", the entire train emitted a cheerful humming sound!

Inside the carriage, the exotic flowers and plants that had grown wildly due to the energy of the diamond treasure chest all swayed their branches and leaves toward the sphere in Su Yuan's hand, as if paying homage to their king.

"I see."

Looking at the scene before him, Su Yuan felt a sudden sense of relief.

It seems that his "Emperor's Path: Devourer" has developed some kind of strange resonance with this "Core of the World Plane".

They seem to influence and promote each other!

"This is truly... buy one get one free, double the happiness!"

Su Yuan played with the azure sphere in his hand, feeling great.

He even thought about what he could do if he could eventually completely integrate this "core of the world plane" with this train.

Could my "biological war chariot" evolve into a void warship that can freely travel through all the worlds?

Just thinking about that scene made Su Yuan's heart burn with excitement.

Just as Su Yuanchang was thinking about a bright future.

An unexpected change occurred without warning!

"Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep—!"

Suddenly, an extremely piercing and frantic alarm sounded in the driver's cab!

The entire carriage shook violently at that moment!

"Master! Watch out! There's something ahead!"

Xiao Huo's terrified scream instantly rang out in the carriage!

"What is it?"

Su Yuan suddenly stood up from the sofa and rushed to the driver's seat.

He looked up and gazed out the car window.

In the seemingly empty space in front of the train, a huge spatial ripple, like waves on the surface of water, appeared out of nowhere without warning!

At the center of the ripples was a constantly rotating, pitch-black vortex, emanating a terrifying aura that sent chills down the spine and was filled with chaos and destruction.

Immediately afterwards, a grotesque, enormous "head" filled with metal and steampunk style suddenly emerged from the dark vortex!

It was a gigantic, centipede-like head, haphazardly welded together from countless rusted iron plates and gears.

At the very front of the "skull" is an enormous circular metal furnace with a diameter of over ten meters. Inside the furnace, raging, dark red flames burn, emitting a terrifyingly high temperature capable of melting steel, and... an extremely greedy and terrifying suction force that seems to devour everything!

"roar--!"

It was accompanied by a deafening roar, like that of an ancient behemoth.

The enormous "centipede head," dragging its massive body—composed of hundreds and thousands of segments of varying sizes pieced together from the wreckage of an abandoned train—squeezed itself out of the spatial rift!

It was like a giant steel dragon coiled in the void, its cold, compound eyes, composed of countless searchlights, locking onto Su Yuan's "Emperor's Path: Devourer" as it sped along.

"My God! What the hell is this?!"

In the driver's seat, Xiao Huo watched the oppressive and terrifying scene transmitted back on the screen. Terrified, he jumped up from the driver's seat and buried his head in Su Yuan's arms, trembling.

Its core, composed of glistening fruit, was throbbing wildly at an unprecedented frequency.

"My...my benefactor! Run!"

In the corner, the treasure-guarding spirit was so frightened that it jumped out of the treasure chest. Its chubby face was filled with terror and despair, and its voice was trembling with sobs.

"It's the 'Railway Scavenger'! The legendary madmen who specialize in robbing lone trains in the void! We...we're being watched!"

"Railway scavengers?"

Su Yuan looked out the window at the enormous structure that completely blocked the entire track, and raised an eyebrow slightly.

This was the first time he had ever seen a "living" train in this world, one other than himself.

Although this "living" train looks a bit... ugly.

"Sir/Madam! Don't just stand there! Think of something!"

The money-guarding spirit was so anxious it was jumping up and down.

But it hadn't finished speaking.

There was already movement on the huge "centipede train" opposite.

"Buzz—Buzz—Buzz—"

A series of piercing alarms sounded from various parts of the train.

Immediately afterwards, rows of dark cannon muzzles slowly emerged from the "bodies" pieced together from old train carriages.

Above the cannon muzzle, a dangerous, destructive red light flickered.

At the same time, dozens of thick metal cables with huge hooks at the top shot out from both sides of the "centipede train" like venomous snakes, tearing through the air with sharp screech, and fiercely grabbed at Su Yuan's train!

Judging from their posture, they planned to suppress the enemy with artillery fire first, then use grappling hooks to secure Su Yuan's train, and then slowly "enjoy" this "delicious meal" that had been delivered to their doorstep.

"Hey, look what we caught? A pretty new-looking 'cute' car."

A voice, filled with mockery and cruelty and amplified by a loudspeaker, came from the giant "centipede head" on the other side.

"Kid, you're unlucky to have run into our 'Black Locust' legion!"

"If you know what's good for you, stop the car, open the door, and hand over all your valuables! Otherwise..."

"I'll throw your piece of junk, along with you, into the furnace and turn you into a pile of scrap metal!"

That arrogant voice echoed in the empty void, filled with an undeniable domineering presence.

Listening to the lines that were full of typical villainous style, and looking at the whistling shells and grappling hooks coming from all directions, Su Yuan showed no tension at all, but instead revealed a strange smile.

"An army of black locusts?"

He stroked his chin, turned to look at the little fire still trembling in his arms, and asked with a smile, "Little fire, are you hungry?"

"what?"

Little Fire was taken aback by the question. It raised its bright green face and looked at Su Yuan with a blank expression, wondering why its master would ask such a question at this moment.

"I...I'm not hungry..."

"But I'm hungry."

Su Yuan grinned, revealing a set of gleaming white teeth. His smile, in the dim light of the driver's cab, looked particularly chilling.

"And our car is hungry too."

He turned his head and looked out the window at the arrogant "centipede train," his eyes flashing with an undisguised, fiery light of "greed."

In his eyes, the so-called "centipede train" was not a threat at all.

Instead, it was... a huge, moving piece that delivered itself to our doorstep...

A super luxurious feast!

A monster pieced together from hundreds or thousands of scrapped trains—how much "flesh and blood energy" must be contained within it?

If I could "eat" it, my "Emperor's Path: Devourer" ship might be able to level up on the spot?

The thought of this made Su Yuan's heart burn with excitement.

"Little fire, don't be afraid."

Su Yuan patted Xiao Huo's head, put it down from his arms, and then sat back in the driver's seat, giving instructions in a calm tone.

"No need to slow down, no need to dodge."

"Activate ramming mode."

"Target: Directly ahead."

"Kill it...!"

"Huh? Master...Master?"

Xiao Huo was completely dumbfounded when he heard Su Yuan's instructions.

Its eyes, made of glistening fruit, stared wide-eyed at Su Yuan, wondering if it had misheard.

Activate ramming mode?

A head-on confrontation?

That's the "Railway Scavenger"! It's a steel centipede pieced together from thousands of scrapped train cars!

Our little vehicle, though it has become much stronger after evolution, is still like a bicycle crashing into a big truck compared to those behemoths.

Isn't this just sending them to their deaths?

"Master! Think it over!"

The money-guarding spirit in the corner was so frightened that it collapsed to the ground, clutching its head and letting out a desperate wail.

"Those lunatics' cars are reinforced with several layers of special armor salvaged from warships! Their hardness is ridiculously high! We...we can't ram them! We'll be wrecked and everyone will die!"

It had witnessed before that a stubborn, level-three heavy armored train tried to go head-to-head with the "railway scavengers," but before it could even dent the front of the train, it disintegrated into a pile of parts.

That scene left it with an extremely deep psychological shadow.

However, despite the dissuasion from Xiao Huo and the Treasure Guardian, Su Yuan simply smiled faintly, his eyes filled with absolute confidence.

"Who said...we were going to ram them with the front of the car?"

"Um?"

Little Fire and the Money-Guarding Spirit were both taken aback, not understanding what Su Yuan meant by those words.

Just then.

"Boom!"

The entire "Emperor's Path: Devourer" train suddenly shuddered!

It was no longer the vibrant, humming sound of growing plants that it used to have.

Instead, it was a more profound, more violent, terrifying roar, like the awakening of an ancient beast!

Inside the carriage, the exotic flowers and plants that had been emitting a soft glow suddenly dimmed.

Instead, dark red lines filled with a destructive aura emerged wildly from every corner of the walls, floors, and ceilings!

These patterns, like hot, magma-filled blood vessels, quickly spread across the entire car body!

At this moment, the entire train seemed to transform from a docile herbivore into the ultimate, most ferocious predator!

At the front of the car, the killer vines that had originally just been coiled around the windows began to frantically shrink, coil, and intertwine towards the center!

Their tough outer skin, covered with a dark purple keratin layer, began to rapidly metallize under the infusion of energy from the dark red patterns, becoming thicker and more ferocious!

In the blink of an eye, a gigantic drill, made of countless thick vines, covered with sharp barbs and ramming edges, and full of violent aesthetics, replaced the original front of the car!

The tip of the drill bit gleamed with a chilling light that was enough to tear everything apart!

"This...this is..."

Little Fire stared blankly at the screen at the completely transformed, aggressive, and terrifying form of his train, his mouth agape, unable to close for a long time.

It felt that its understanding of this car was... still at the first level.

"Immovable as a mountain!"

Su Yuan let out a low shout and activated his newly acquired defensive talent that reduced damage by 30%!

Om-!

A thick force field, barely perceptible to the naked eye, instantly enveloped the entire vehicle!

With the dual benefits of "spatial stability" and "immovable as a mountain", the entire "Emperor's Path Devourer" seemed to have truly transformed into an unshakable, indestructible, dark green meteorite from the depths of the universe at this moment!

Meanwhile, on the "centipede train" opposite...

That arrogant voice rang out again, but this time, it carried a clear hint of doubt and... a subtle sense of seriousness.

"Huh? What's that kid up to?"

"Instead of slowing down or dodging, he's accelerating? What's he trying to do? Collide with us?"

"Hahaha! This is hilarious! These days, there are still such naive newcomers?"

Inside the driver's cab, a burly, one-eyed man with a hideous scar on his face stared at the dark green dot on the screen that was not only not slowing down but was actually accelerating, and burst into wild laughter.

He is the leader of the "Black Locust" legion, nicknamed "One-Eyed Dragon".

"Boss, that guy's car... seems a bit off."

Beside him, a tall, thin man in charge of operating the cannon looked at the "Emperor's Path: Devourer" ship, which was rapidly transforming on the screen, frowned and whispered a reminder.

"Something's not right? What could be wrong?"

The one-eyed man curled his lip in disdain.

"Isn't it just a fancy-looking modified car? I've seen plenty of these kinds of 'showy' cars! All looks and no substance! It'll fall apart if we crash into it!"

He had absolute confidence in the front of his "War Centipede" truck.

That was the main armor of a warship that he had acquired at great expense from the ruins of an advanced technological civilization! Let alone a small level three train, even a level four or five train wouldn't be able to budge it in the slightest!

"All artillery fire, concentrate! Slow it down!"

"Hook and grappling hook ready! The moment it crashes in, get it wrapped tightly around your neck! I'm going to capture this arrogant brat alive today and teach him what true despair is!"

The one-eyed man licked his chapped lips, a cruel yet excited glint in his single eye.

He was already imagining how to deal with this arrogant newcomer.

However, he will never know.

What kind of being did he provoke?

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Dozens of shells, brimming with destructive energy and trailing long plumes of flame, rained down on the "Emperor's Path: Devourer" like a meteor shower.

However, those shells, powerful enough to level a building, seemed to hit an invisible wall when they came into contact with the invisible force field surrounding the "Emperor's Path Devourer" vehicle. They didn't even cause a ripple in the air, and exploded in mid-air!

The violent energy shockwaves spread wildly in all directions, but they couldn't budge the dark green train in the slightest.

It was like an ancient behemoth strolling leisurely through a hail of bullets, ignoring all attacks and maintaining its terrifying speed, crashing into them with an indomitable and resolute attitude!

"What?!"

The smile on the one-eyed man's face froze instantly.

His single eye was filled with unbelievable horror.

What did he see?

He saw that his proud, all-consuming concentrated artillery fire, capable of destroying everything, had actually... hadn't even broken through the enemy's defenses?!

How is this possible?!

In the instant he was momentarily stunned by the shock.

The two trains, both at their maximum speed, finally collided violently!

There were no earth-shattering explosions.

There was no deafening roar.

Time seemed to have been muted at that moment.

In the one-eyed man's pupils, which suddenly contracted due to extreme fear.

All he saw was the moment his indestructible "war centipede" front end, forged from the main armor of a warship, came into contact with the opponent's menacing, high-speed spinning metal drill bit.

Like a fragile piece of tofu, easily sliced ​​through by a red-hot, razor-sharp blade...

It was cut open.
