Train Survival: Can I get a treasure chest by touching my goddess?

.

In the sight of Shen Wen and the others.

Rain began to patter against the train windows, and the sound of the rain hitting the train was just like someone constantly banging on their train.

The wasteland outside the window was gradually replaced by greenery.

"Boom—!"

With a deafening roar, a streak of blazing white lightning flashed across the sky, as if someone had offended the heavens and was being punished by divine intervention.

Su Qingxuan looked at Su Mu and saw Su Mu purse her lips. Shen Wen squeezed Su Mu's hand and whispered, "Don't worry, I'm here."

Su Mu is afraid of thunder.

The first time they slept together as children was because of this, and as for the reason...

Because the parents of the two Su sisters died in a car accident on a stormy day, and Su Qingxuan was already old enough to understand, this was just a coincidence for her.

But for little Su Mu, thunderstorms always evoked memories, and even as she grew older, she knew it was just an accident.

Su Mu had already made it a habit.

"I'm fine."

Su Mu took a deep breath, and the train's speed began to decrease slowly until it finally stopped. Shen Wen and the other three put on their raincoats.

At that moment, Shen Wen discovered the place where their train had stopped.

A girl was standing under a big tree.

She wore a creamy white long dress with gold patterns embroidered on the cuffs and collar, the hem of which reached her ankles and was partially damp from the rain.

Her hair was light chestnut brown, braided and pinned up at the back of her head, with a few stray strands clinging to her cheeks.

The raindrops fell three feet above her head and automatically slid to both sides, like an invisible umbrella.

She stood there quietly, her gaze fixed on the slowly coming to a stop on the train. It wasn't that she was avoiding anything; rather, it was as if she was waiting for someone.

Shen Wen frowned.

This clothing, this attire, doesn't look like that of a passenger pulled in from modern society.

"Medieval? Cosplay?" Jiang Youchu leaned closer, pressing her face against the glass. "Wait, what's with this rain? Is it automatically avoiding us?"

Su Qingxuan walked over, her gaze falling on the girl, her brows furrowing slightly: "A spirit body?"

"It doesn't seem like it," Shen Wen shook his head.

The butcher's intuition kicked in; it recognized the creature as a living being, but it meant no harm.

The train came to a complete stop.

A mechanical voice echoed in the minds of the four people—

[Arrived at the group platform: Green Forest]

Current stop time: 04:00:00

[Note: The stop time at the group platform is based on the longest stop time among all trains currently in operation.]

Shen Wen was stunned for a second.

Four hours?

He didn't use a docking delay, which means—

"Some trains stop for four hours?" Su Mu said softly.

"Heroes are as numerous as carp crossing a river," Shen Wen said. "It's normal for there to be talented people among them."

The car door opened.

A cold wind, carrying rain, rushed in, and the smell of damp earth mixed with a kind of rotten sweetness wafted through the air.

Shen Wen stepped out of the car, placed his hand on the hilt of his knife, and scanned the area. He didn't see any other trains. Could it be that the other trains didn't stop at the same place?

The girl turned around when she heard the noise.

Her eyes were amber, clear, without fear or wariness, simply watching them quietly.

"Are you warriors sent by the kingdom?"

He stared at her for two seconds, then asked, "Who are you?"

The girl bowed slightly, her movements as elegant as some ancient etiquette.

"My name is Celia."

Shen Wen: "…………"

Something clicked in his mind.

Green forest.

Celia.

He turned to look at Jiang Youchu.

Jiang Youchu's expression froze, her mouth slightly open, rain dripping down her raincoat, but she was completely unaware.

"Toxic milk powder?" Her voice trembled. "Toxic milk powder in 'Survival on a Train'?"

Shen Wen ignored her and looked at Celia again.

The girl stood there, tilting her head, looking somewhat confused: "Poison... milk powder?"

"It's nothing." Shen Wen took a deep breath, suppressing the absurdity. "You said it was warriors sent by the kingdom. What kingdom? Why did they send warriors?"

Celia's eyes lit up for a moment.

"You really are!" She took a step forward, and the rain automatically avoided her body, leaving a dry ring on the ground.

"The goblins in the forest have become very aggressive lately and have attacked several villages."

A while ago, the kingdom sent a troop of knights, but they haven't come out for a long time.

"Warriors, can you escort me to the depths of this green-skinned forest?"

Investigate why the goblins have gone berserk, and also check the knights' movements.

Shen Wen frowned; he didn't want to take any risks.

After all, in this kind of weather, if we venture deep into the forest, we might miss our chance.

That would be troublesome.

And they also need to escort one more person.

At that moment, a light screen appeared in his field of vision.

Investigating the Reasons for the Goblin's Rampage (Dark Iron)

[Mission Requirements: Escort Seria to find out the reason for the goblin rampage (0/1)]

[Punishment for mission failure: None]

【Is it accepted? 】

Searching for the Kingdom Knights' Trail (Black Iron)

"I think it's okay, after all, it's only Black Iron..." Su Qingxuan said, "Besides, there's no punishment anyway."

"Too."

Shen Wen nodded. Anyway, they were going to go deeper inside. As for escorting one more person, Celia didn't look like an ordinary person.

If it really doesn't work out, just give up on her.

[Receive]

[Receive]

Celia smiled and said, "Warriors, you are truly wonderful! You certainly live up to the name of warriors!"

Shen Wen thought to himself, "As long as you didn't make us pay money, that's fine."

"Do you have any leads? Otherwise, we won't have enough time to keep going around in circles."

Celia spoke up, "I know where the Knights went last. Here's a map."

Celia took out a map and handed it to Shen Wen. Shen Wen glanced at it and saw that it marked various routes.

The route ends at a series of red dots.

It seems this is only provided after accepting the mission.

After all, the forest is so big that without a map, you can't get much done in four hours just wandering around.

"The red dots above represent goblin tribes," Celia said, pointing to a red dot in the middle. "This is where the Knights of Favonius ultimately went."

How did you know?

"They would come back and tell me after they had scouted each village, but that was all they did. They never came back after they went there."

"Let's go then."

After showing the map to the three of them, Shen Wen put it back in his pocket and said, "If there is any danger, run back without hesitation."

"clear!"
