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

"Buzz—"

Accompanied by a deep and long hum, the 4,500 units of core fragment energy transformed into a dazzling golden torrent, all of which poured into Little Fire's violently pounding heart fruit.

"Well……"

Xiao Huo let out a comfortable groan, a satisfied blush appearing on his handsome face. He swayed as if he were drunk, looking like he might collapse at any moment.

He felt like a gluttonous beast about to burst from overeating, its belly stuffed with the finest delicacies, every single cell cheering, leaping with joy, frantically absorbing this vast and pure energy.

His body, which had just evolved into a youthful form, began to grow again at a visible rate.

Although he didn't skip directly from childhood to adolescence like before, his height still visibly increased by a few centimeters, and his posture became more upright and full of power.

His long, dark green hair became even smoother and shinier, with even the ends tinged with a faint, star-like gold.

The sun-like rune on his forehead became even brighter and more complex, as if it contained some profound truth about life and energy.

"Master...I...I feel...so full..."

Xiao Huo let out a burp, and a burst of golden energy, brimming with vitality, spewed from his mouth, transforming into several dancing golden butterflies in the air. They circled a few times before slowly dissipating.

Su Yuan couldn't help but laugh at his adorable appearance.

"As long as you're full." He patted Xiao Huo's head. "You need to eat well to have the energy to work."

Without further hesitation, Su Yuan clicked the "Unlock All" button on the control panel!

[Confirmed consumption of 4.7 units of flesh and blood energy and 480 train coins, unlocking all "Bio-Armor"?]

"confirm!"

With Su Yuan's order, the enormous energy reserves and train coin balance in his warehouse shrank dramatically in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, the entire "Emperor's Path Devourer" once again emitted that familiar, teeth-grinding roar, like a giant beast stretching its limbs!

"Boom!"

This time, it's not a complete upgrade, but... a partial, armed transformation!

The first things to change were the sides of the carriage.

The tough armor covered in obsidian scales began to slowly writhe and bulge, as if it were living flesh and blood.

Two enormous nozzles, resembling the ejection organs of some kind of insect, slowly "grew" out from inside the armor.

The inside of that nozzle was a complex honeycomb structure, with countless slender, blood vessel-like plant ducts connecting to the huge pitcher plant toilet in the corner of the carriage, continuously supplying it with highly concentrated and transformed, corrosive digestive fluids.

The corrosion jet nozzle has been installed!

"Not bad, not bad." Su Yuan looked at the two nozzles that exuded a dangerous aura and nodded in satisfaction.

He could even imagine the spectacular sight of the corrosive acid spraying everywhere when the two nozzles were firing at full power.

Next, the change came to the front of the car.

Those six killer vines that were originally just clinging to the car window began to frantically take hold and merge once again!

But this time, it's not simply about assembling a drill bit like before.

Instead, at their tips, they begin to secrete a milky white, viscous liquid full of life energy.

The liquids hardened and calcified rapidly upon contact with air, eventually forming an incredibly thick layer of bone that gleamed with a chilling white light!

The density of that bone was frighteningly high. Su Yuan could even feel that the hardness it contained probably surpassed that of most alloys in the world!

Countless layers of bone, piled up one after another, eventually formed a gigantic, primal, and violently aesthetic horn at the very front of the vehicle, resembling the horn of an ancient Triceratops... a ferocious ram!

The surface of the ram was covered with spiral patterns, like drill bits, and the tip was as sharp as the spearhead of a divine weapon, gleaming with a chilling light capable of tearing everything apart!

[The "bone impact bracket" has been installed!]

"Good heavens, this is the real 'death by destruction'." Su Yuan looked at the huge ram, which was even more ferocious and terrifying than the previous drill, and his heart was filled with excitement.

He's even starting to look forward to encountering another giant like the "War Centipede" so he can properly test the power of this new toy.

"Master, would you like to... give it a try?"

Beside him, Little Fire, who had just finished digesting his energy and felt full of power, looked at the two brand-new "weapons of mass destruction" with an eager expression.

He felt incredibly strong and desperately needed to find a place to release the energy that was about to overflow from his body.

"Try? How can we try here?" Su Yuan rolled her eyes at him. "Are we going to spray acid into the void? Or crash into a meteorite?"

"Uh..." Xiao Huo was taken aback by the question, scratched his head, and felt that his suggestion was a bit unreliable.

"Alright, don't rush." ​​Su Yuan waved his hand. "Once we get to Terra City, there will be plenty of opportunities for you to prove yourself."

He glanced at the control panel; the remaining two "bio-weapons," "spore mist" and "parasitic seeds," had also been installed.

However, these two weapons are not as obvious as the previous two.

One of them was some inconspicuous organs resembling mushroom sporangia that grew on the roof of the car.

The other was to add some tiny, opening and closing structures, similar to the pitcher traps of a pitcher plant, to the tips of the six killer vines.

Although they appear harmless, Su Yuan knows very well that these two seemingly insignificant "little gadgets" are the truly insidious and deadly trump cards.

"Alright, the armaments are all set up, it's time to upgrade the 'hardware'."

Su Yuan turned his gaze to the 35,000 units of "metallic energy".

Without the slightest hesitation, he waved his hand and invested the entire huge sum of money into strengthening the "structural strength" of the train!

"boom--!"

Another violent roar erupted!

This time, it's not about external weapon modifications, but... internal strengthening of muscles and bones!

Su Yuan could clearly sense that the "skeleton" of the entire train, the core metal structure hidden beneath the plant armor, was being tempered and reshaped at the deepest level by a massive energy!

Those alloys that were already strong enough became even denser and tougher under the infusion of this energy. They even underwent some unknown and wonderful transformation at the molecular level!

At this moment, the entire train seemed to evolve from a heavily armored strongman into a... superman with an indestructible body!

【ding dong——】

The train's structural strength has been pushed to its limit!

Your train has gained a brand new feature: "Unyielding Body"!

[Special Effect: When a train suffers a single physical impact exceeding its own withstand limit, this feature will automatically trigger, forcibly preserving 1% of the train's core structural integrity and making it immune to the "disintegration" effect.]

"Immune breakdown?!"

Su Yuan stared wide-eyed at this brand-new feature.

This is...isn't this just an invincibility cheat?!

"An invincibility cheat?"

Su Yuan stared at the new trait on the panel called "Unyielding Body," his mouth agape for a long time.

He felt that his worldview had been refreshed once again.

An immune system "disintegration" effect!

Force the preservation of 1% of the core structural integrity!

What the hell does that mean?

This means that even if he were to be completely blind and crash his car into a planet, even if the entire car were reduced to just the driver's seat, he and Xiao Huo would still survive unharmed!

As long as the core remains intact and there is still a breath left, with the "obsidian plant armor's" abnormal "super-speed regeneration" ability, he can make the entire train "grow" back in a very short time!

"This...this is way too unfair!"

Su Yuan himself felt that his car was now so powerful that it was almost unreasonable.

Its attacks include bony rams and parasitic seeds.

For defense, it features obsidian armor and an indomitable body.

Control measures include spore fog and corrosive acid.

It has extended battery life, with energy absorption and ultra-fast regeneration.

Its speed even soared to a cruising speed of 120 kilometers per hour.

This is practically a heavily armed, mobile, and indestructible void fortress!

"Master, what does 'unyielding body' mean?"

Beside him, Xiao Huo looked at Su Yuan's shocked expression with curiosity.

Although he could feel that the train had become more robust, he didn't have a clear idea of ​​exactly how robust it had become.

"It means..." Su Yuan took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, and then looked at Xiao Huo, explaining in the simplest way possible, "From now on, we'll be like cockroaches that can't be killed."

"Xiaoqiang?" Xiao Huo tilted his head, clearly not understanding the metaphor.

"Never mind, you'll find out later." Su Yuan waved his hand, too lazy to explain any further.

He was in an extremely good mood.

All the weapons have been installed.

All the hardware has been upgraded to its limit.

The current "Emperor's Path: Devourer" truly possesses a bit of the domineering aura that dares to devour everything and roam the void!

"Oh, and this too."

Su Yuan suddenly remembered something, and he turned his gaze to the last, most insidious, and most vicious "biological weapon".

"Parasitic seeds."

He walked to the car window and looked at the six killer vines outside, which had become even thicker and more ferocious, and felt a surge of itch in his heart.

To be honest, of the four new weapons, the one he was most interested in was this "parasitic seed".

Corrosive acid and bone ramming tools, while violent, are ultimately conventional attack methods.

The spore mist, though eerie, is only an auxiliary tool.

This "parasitic seed" was the only one that gave Su Yuan a completely different feeling.

That's a more advanced, more unreasonable, and almost "rule-based" form of attack.

Directly absorb the target's life energy!

This ability has already touched upon the realm of the "laws of life".

"Little Fire, try this," Su Yuan said to Little Fire, pointing to a vine outside the window.

"Huh? Try this?" Little Fire was taken aback. "But... there's no target here."

The surrounding area was a desolate void, not even a meteorite could be seen. Where could we find an unlucky guy to be a target?

"Who said there isn't?" Su Yuan grinned, revealing an expression that sent chills down Xiao Huo's spine.

He reached out and pointed to the distant, paralyzed wreckage of the enormous "war centipede," now only half its body remaining, lying on the tracks.

"Isn't that a ready-made target?"

"Uh...but Master, it...it's already inanimate," Little Fire said, somewhat puzzled. "Aren't parasitic seeds only supposed to absorb 'life' energy?"

"Who told you it was an inanimate object?" Su Yuan raised an eyebrow, a glint of all-knowing light flashing in his golden eyes.

"You forgot? There are still thousands of 'core fragments' from different trains remaining inside."

"Those core fragments still retain the last 'obsession' and 'resentment' of their previous owners."

"Those are also a kind of 'life'."

"It's just a distorted, incomplete 'life'."

"..."

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

To absorb the remaining will of the train's core as "life"?

You can play like this?!

"Come on, let me see just how weird this thing is."

Su Yuan didn't give Xiao Huo any time to react and directly issued the order.

"Target: Debris ahead, parasitic seed, fire!"

"Yes...yes!"

Although Xiao Huo still felt a little strange, she subconsciously carried out Su Yuan's order.

A glint flashed in his golden eyes.

next second.

Outside the window, at the tips of those six deadly vines, the tiny structures resembling pitcher plants suddenly opened!

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Six seeds, each only the size of a thumb, pitch black in color and covered with eerie blood-red patterns, shot precisely at the massive train wreckage in the distance, like six bullets fired from a gun, accompanied by a sharp whooshing sound.

The seeds did not explode or cause any physical damage upon contact with the debris.

As if they possessed a life of their own, they "drilled" directly into the cold, scrap metal-framed vehicle and disappeared.

Then, a bizarre scene unfolded.

The massive train wreckage, the paralyzed, lifeless steel structure, suddenly trembled without warning!

Then, one after another, slender, eerie vines, like blood vessels, began to sprout wildly from the spots where the seeds had struck them!

Those vines seemed to have their own consciousness. They ignored the hard metal armor and took root directly into the deepest part of the wreckage, frantically and greedily absorbing the remaining, mixed and chaotic "core fragment" energy!

"Buzz—Buzz—Buzz—"

The entire remains of the "War Centipede" began to emit a series of unwilling and painful cries!

Countless faint rays of light, representing the lingering will of the different train cores, shone from every corner of the wreckage. They flickered violently and struggled, as if trying to break free from the blood-red vines that were devouring them.

But it didn't work.

Faced with the overwhelming absorption power of the "parasitic seeds," these remaining wills, which had long lost their masters, were like lambs to the slaughter, utterly powerless to resist.

Su Yuan could clearly see that the light representing the core will was dimming rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The blood-red vines grew thicker and more alluring, even sprouting eerie, blood-red flowers that exuded an ominous aura.

at the same time.

【ding dong——】

[The "parasitic seed" has successfully parasitized its target!]

[Absorbing target energy...]

[Core fragment energy detected, currently being converted...]

[Conversion complete. Core fragment energy obtained: 10 units!]

[Conversion complete. Core fragment energy obtained: 12 units!]

[Conversion complete. Core fragment energy obtained: 8 units!]

……

A series of rapid system notifications flooded Su Yuan's mind!

On the control panel, the reserve number representing "core fragment energy" began to climb rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye!

"Holy crap, this efficiency... it's terrifying!"

Su Yuan was stunned by what he saw.

This isn't a "blood-sucking pump" at all; it's clearly an "energy perpetual motion machine"!

As long as there are enough "corpses" for it to parasitize, it can continuously provide itself with the purest "core fragment" energy!

And this energy can be used to strengthen the small flame, making it even stronger!

With the increased power, Xiao Huo can better control these "biological weapons" to hunt down more "corpses"!

This...this is simply a perfect, infinitely looping...positive closed loop!

"It's on! This time it's really on!"

Su Yuan stared out the window at the train wreckage being slowly drained of its contents, his mouth practically stretched to his ears in a wide grin.

He felt as if he had... found the ultimate shortcut that could make him and the car infinitely stronger in a short period of time!
