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

Su Yuan put down the journal, feeling a little heavy-hearted.

It seems that problems had already begun to arise in this world before the so-called "train survival world" even arrived.

Black fog, out-of-control animals, missing persons...

All of this has an eerie feel to it.

Those three forest rangers are probably in grave danger.

"Who cares? Thinking about it so much is useless. Survival is the most important thing."

Su Yuan shook his head, trying to clear these distracting thoughts from his mind.

Figuring out the truth about the world is a matter for later; right now, he needs to seize the time to scavenge for supplies.

He shifted his gaze from the desk to the tools standing in the corner.

A shovel, a hoe, and three gleaming machetes.

Su Yuan's eyes lit up, and he quickly walked over.

He picked up one of the wood-chopping knives. It was quite heavy, with a blade about fifty centimeters long. The steel was of good quality, and although the blade was slightly creased, it was still sharp.

He casually chopped down on a table leg next to him.

"Snap!"

With a crisp snap, the solid wood table leg broke off, leaving a smooth cut.

"nice one!"

Su Yuan was secretly delighted.

Although I have a lot of brute strength, I can't chop wood with my bare hands like in Minecraft. Having this wood-chopping knife makes things much easier.

He inspected all three machetes, chose the one that felt most comfortable and tucked it behind his waist. He planned to take the other two back to the train later, as they were valuable whether used as spares or as bargaining chips.

After looting the tools, Su Yuan set his sights on the filing cabinets.

"Crack, crack."

He tugged at the drawers and found they were all locked.

"Locked again?"

Su Yuan smiled; this was not a problem for him at all.

He extended two fingers, inserted them into the gap of the lock, and applied a little force.

"Clatter".

He twisted the lock cylinder off.

He opened the first cabinet, which was full of various documents and forms, such as forest fire prevention responsibility agreements and wildlife observation record forms, which were of little use to him.

The second cabinet is the same.

His eyes lit up again when he opened the third cabinet.

There were no documents inside, but a red first aid kit stuffed full.

He took the first aid kit to the table and opened it. It was fully stocked, and most importantly, everything looked usable.

Bandages, gauze, rubbing alcohol, iodine solution, cotton swabs, and painkillers.

"This is a lifesaver!"

Su Yuan closed the entire first-aid kit without any hesitation, intending to take it with him later.

While his "evolutionary" talent is impressive, it's not omnipotent.

In the event of a serious injury, recovery takes time, and these medical supplies can play a crucial role.

At the very bottom of the filing cabinet, he also pulled out a detailed topographic map of the forest park.

The map clearly marked the various areas, water sources, and the locations of some important facilities, such as the rescue center where he was currently located, the weather station on the mountaintop, and even several other places mentioned in the diary.

However, the weather station is too far away, located on the highest peak of another mountain, so traveling back and forth would be somewhat uneconomical.

This is a national forest park, home to many precious protected plants and animals, so it's not the only place like this.

Su Yuan thought for a moment. If it were someone else, getting the map wouldn't be of any use, but there was still plenty of time. Although he couldn't go to the weather station, he could still search the two tourist rescue centers.

After searching the filing cabinet, he turned his attention to the two bunk beds.

The bed was a mess, but Su Yuan still patiently searched through it.

Under one of the pillows, he felt something hard.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a small package tightly wrapped in oil paper.

He unwrapped the oil paper; inside was a pack of cigarettes and half a box of matches.

"Smoke."

Su Yuan picked up the slightly damp pack of cigarettes, smelled it, and detected the odor of cheap tobacco.

Su Yuan doesn't smoke, but that doesn't mean there are fewer smokers. In some people's eyes, this stuff is hard currency, and it's definitely useful for trading.

He carefully put away the cigarettes and matches and continued searching.

Finally, his gaze fell on an inconspicuous tin box under the bed.

It was a military green metal box, about half a meter long, with a lock on it.

It looks like a place where forest rangers store their personal belongings.

Su Yuan squatted down, reached out and knocked on the box, making a dull "thump-thump" sound.

There's something inside.

He held up two fingers again, repeating the same trick.

"Clatter".

The lock opened with a click.

Su Yuan took a deep breath and, with the anticipation of opening a blind box, lifted the lid of the box.

When the lid was opened, there was no dazzling golden light as I had imagined.

Inside were only a few neatly folded old clothes and a small wooden box.

Su Yuan was somewhat disappointed, but still reached out and took out the clothes.

There were several camouflage training uniforms, which looked like the ranger's own. Although they were a bit old, they were very clean and extremely durable, much better than the dirty T-shirt he was wearing.

Great, I can change into it after my shower.

He put the clothes aside and picked up the small wooden box.

The wooden box was ordinary, nothing special.

Su Yuan opened the box again, inside were several photos and a letter.

The photo shows a middle-aged man, presumably the owner of the box, with his arms around a woman and a little girl, smiling happily.

The letter was written to my family, simply to let them know I was safe and sound, and to reassure them that I was doing well and that they shouldn't worry.

Su Yuan silently looked at it for a while, then put the letter and photo back into the wooden box, closed the lid, and put it back in the corner of the tin box.

The deceased are gone.

He wasn't a sentimental person, but he felt a little wistful.

Just as he was about to close the lid, his finger accidentally touched the bottom of the box.

"Um?"

Something doesn't feel right.

There's a spot on the bottom of the box where the metal feels different from the rest; it seems hollow.

Su Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and he tapped that spot with his finger.

"Knock knock".

It's definitely hollow! There's a hidden layer!

Su Yuan immediately perked up and began to observe carefully.

Soon, Su Yuan found a barely perceptible gap at the edge of the interlayer.

He gripped the gap with his fingernails and pried it open forcefully.

"Creak—"

He lifted a metal plate, revealing the hidden space underneath.

In this small compartment, a box emitting a faint white light lay quietly.

The box was about the size of a shoebox, made entirely of an unknown metal, with intricate patterns engraved on its surface, and the character "箱" (box) faintly visible in the very center.

[A wooden treasure chest has been detected. Do you wish to open it?]

A line of text that only Su Yuan could see appeared before his eyes.

"A wooden treasure chest?"

Su Yuan was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed.

"Holy crap! This actually works?!"

As expected, every game has a chest-opening element, but the chests in this game aren't placed in conspicuous locations. Luckily, I played a lot of games before I transmigrated, and I usually have a habit of searching for things everywhere.

If it were someone with poor perception or who wasn't attentive enough, they would have missed it 100% of the time!

"Activate! Activate immediately!"

Su Yuan silently recited it in his heart without hesitation.

As soon as he finished speaking, the patterns on the white wooden box lit up instantly, emitting a soft glow, and then the lid popped open automatically.

Several beams of light flew out of the box and hovered in front of Su Yuan.

Congratulations! You have received 3 Train Coins!

Congratulations! You have received 1 bottle of 5L bottled mineral water!

Congratulations! You have received 10 packs of "High-Energy Compressed Biscuits"!

Congratulations! You have obtained 1 "Refined Snake Trap"!

Congratulations! You have received two 'Special Snakeskin Bags'!

A series of system notifications rang in his mind, and Su Yuan was so happy he couldn't stop smiling.

"We've struck it rich!"

He looked at the things floating in front of him and rubbed his hands together excitedly.

The three gleaming silver coins looked quite high-quality and were probably the common currency of this world. Their function was unclear for the time being, but he could ask Xiao Huo when they got back.

A large bucket of sealed mineral water, and ten well-packaged compressed biscuits.

Food and water were the most urgently needed things at the moment, which directly solved Su Yuan's immediate crisis.

Su Yuan picked up a compressed biscuit, tore open the packaging, and stuffed it into his mouth.

The taste was so-so, a bit dry, but for him who was starving, it was simply a delicacy.

He finished a piece in a few bites, then unscrewed the lid of the mineral water bottle and gulped down several mouthfuls.

A refreshing sensation traveled from my throat all the way to my stomach, instantly relieving most of my hunger and thirst.

"He's alive..."

Su Yuan let out a long sigh of relief, feeling refreshed.

After he had eaten and drunk his fill, he turned his attention to the remaining two items.

A metal clip about 1.5 meters long, and two sturdy-looking bags.
