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

"Where are they all running?"

Su Yuan stopped in his tracks, a hint of amusement in his eyes.

"Interesting. Is he going back to call for backup, or did he get bullied outside and need to go back to his parents?"

He did not chase after them immediately.

Since these monsters have all gathered together on their own, it saves me the trouble of searching for them one by one.

This is a great opportunity to accumulate perception points – a perfect chance to catch turtles in a jar and sweep them all away.

Su Yuan quickly began to make plans in his mind.

These scarecrows' weakness is fire, and they happen to have accelerants on hand.

The barrels of diesel fuel in the barn, which had been stored there for who knows how many years, might have deteriorated, but they were more than enough to start a fire.

"Hey, I've got it!"

Su Yuan made up his mind and, without further delay, turned and ran towards the train.

He needs to go back and do some preparations.

As soon as he jumped onto the train, Xiao Huo's tense electronic voice immediately rang out.

【Master! You're back! How are you? Are you alright? I knew you could do it!】

"Don't worry, it's fine." Su Yuan said as he took out the "Scarecrow's Heart" that had just exploded from the treasure chest.

This thing is ice-cold to the touch, and it's still pulsating slightly, giving off an eerie aura.

He casually tossed it into the train's depot; now was not the time to examine it.

[I just sensed them, and there are at least forty or fifty of them! And their aura is terrifying—cold and devoid of any warmth! I'm very worried!]

"By the way, isn't your true form flames? What are you so cowardly about?"

Little Fire: [...]

"Alright, alright, hurry up and make the most of the time." Su Yuan waved his hand. "I've already driven those scarecrows into the granary. By the way, your senses shouldn't be able to reach too far from the train, right? Just now, to avoid damaging the train, I deliberately lured those scarecrows a little further away."

Upon hearing this, Little Fire explained, "That's true, Master. Although my senses are sharp, their range is limited. However, after the upgrade, my detection range will be much greater."

Su Yuan nodded, found a sturdy wooden stick, and tore off a few pieces of rags he had scavenged from the farmhouse, wrapping them tightly around one end of the stick.

A simple torch is now ready.

Then, he brought out the buckets of diesel fuel that were covered in dust.

Upon opening one of the containers, an incredibly pungent smell of spoiled oil immediately assaults the senses.

Su Yuan dipped one end of the torch directly into the diesel fuel, allowing the cloth strip to fully absorb the diesel oil.

"Hey, can I borrow a light?"

Su Yuan extended the soaked torch to the feeding port on the driver's side.

【Yes...yes, Master!】

A wisp of orange-red flame separated from the core of the small fire and instantly ignited the torch.

"call--"

Thick black smoke billowed out, and flames shot up more than half a meter high, illuminating the entire carriage with flickering light.

Su Yuan, carrying a burning torch and a bucket of diesel fuel, revealed a smile that would frighten even a small fire.

Hehehe~

【Master? Where have you been again?】

[Should we light fires around here to stop those scarecrows from coming? That makes sense; if we can hold out for three hours, we'll leave!]

"Why are your ideas so timid? This is different from what you said on the way here!"

Su Yuan's voice came from afar.

He returned a few minutes later, but this time, his bronze treasure chest was filled with several more compartments.

It turned out that Su Yuan had returned to the granary and started collecting treasures on a large scale using the treasure chests.

The treasure chest has a very user-friendly feature: automatic categorization and automatic collection after collection.

Dried straw is something that has been harvested in good condition. Most of the dried straw in this barn is of poor quality, but there is still a small amount of high-quality dried straw.

After collecting them, the treasure chest was full, and he also obtained a piece of high-quality dry straw. As for the remaining low-quality dry straw, it wasn't useless; in fact, it would play an even more important role tonight!

【Name: High-quality dry straw】

[Quality: Average]

[Description: Dry and flammable, it makes an excellent ignition source and can also be used to make certain special items.]

Everything is ready.

After the high-quality dry straw was returned to the train's depot.

Carrying torches and diesel fuel, Su Yuan moved silently toward the brightly lit granary, his figure like a ghost.

As night deepened, the only sounds on the farm besides the wind were the crackling of the flames.

Su Yuan arrived at the entrance of the granary in no time.

A granary is a place to store agricultural waste, while a grain warehouse is a place to store grain.

The main structure is a sturdy wooden house, inside which is a grain tower made of welded iron sheets, about five meters high and four meters wide. Apart from that, there is not much else in the granary.

The remaining twenty-odd scarecrows were all crammed into the granary. Looking through the open door, one could see shadowy figures inside, occasionally letting out a sharp screech.

They seemed to be waiting for something, or perhaps fearing something.

All the figures gathered under the grain tower.

Su Yuan did not disturb them.

He carefully piled the large bundle of dry straw he had brought from the granary around the granary, forming a complete encirclement.

After doing all this, Su Yuan unscrewed the lid of the diesel drum and generously poured the pungent liquid evenly onto the straw.

"Glug glug..."

The viscous diesel fuel soaked the hay, giving it an oily sheen in the moonlight.

Su Yuan looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction, then raised the torch in his hand.

"I'm not going in. What if there's a trap?"

"But I have plenty of ways to get you out!"

He grinned and casually tossed the burning torch away.

The torch drew an orange-red arc in the air and landed precisely on the pile of straw soaked in diesel fuel.

"call--!"

A wall of fire shot into the sky!

The moment the flames came into contact with the diesel fuel, they seemed to be infused with a soul, bursting into flames and forming a two-meter-high ring of fire that trapped the entire grain silo in the center.

A wave of scorching heat hit him, blowing Su Yuan's hair back.

The scarecrow inside the granary was clearly terrified by this sudden turn of events.

A chorus of piercing screams erupted as they scattered frantically, but with Su Yuan guarding the entrance, they could only helplessly pound on the tin grain tower with their wooden sticks.

Su Yuan watched everything unfold inside, simply holding his axe in one hand and casually taking out a black bread from the treasure chest, then slowly and methodically began to eat.

"After banging on the tractor for so long, I'm actually a bit hungry now."

It didn't taste very good; it was dry and hard, and had a sour taste.

But Su Yuan ate with great relish.

"Hmm, it tastes a bit like the whole-grain biscuits I ate when I was a kid, but not as sweet."

"It's still a bit dry and a little choking, but it's not a big problem. It's better than some people not having anything to eat."
