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

Time passed by, second by second.

Su Qingxuan and Jiang Youchu squatted in front of the worktable, sorting and classifying the spoils they brought back from the Fallen Cave one by one.

Weapons were piled on the left, staves on the right, and miscellaneous items and materials were neatly arranged in the middle, categorized by type.

Lydia sat beside her, helping out carefully, as if afraid of breaking something.

Shen Wen leaned against the carriage wall, looking at the curved knife. There were already several nicks on the blade, and the dark red luster of the blade was much dimmer than before.

This black iron-grade scimitar accompanied him from the Greenskin Forest all the way to the Fallen Caverns, where he slashed through hundreds of goblins, spiders, and fallen elves. The blade had been worn down and sharpened countless times, and it was almost at its breaking point.

"Sister Qingxuan, keep an eye out on the trading platforms for bronze-level knives."

Su Qingxuan looked up at him and nodded: "You really should replace that scimitar."

Jiang Youchu also leaned over to glance at the nicked and chipped scimitar, and clicked her tongue twice: "This knife has had a hard life with you."

Shen Wen ignored her, tucked the scimitar back into his waistband, and turned to walk towards the second carriage.

Su Mu was already lying on the soft mattress, the blanket pulled up to her chin, only her face was visible.

Her eyes were closed, her breathing was steady, but her eyelashes were still fluttering slightly, clearly she wasn't asleep yet.

Shen Wen lay down next to her, turned to his side, and put his arm around her waist.

Su Mu's body stiffened for a moment, then slowly relaxed and snuggled closer to him.

"Are you tired?" Shen Wen's voice was very soft.

"Mmm," Su Mu responded listlessly, then paused and added, "You too."

Shen Wen didn't say anything, but simply pulled her closer to him.

Su Mu's breathing gradually calmed down, and this time she was truly asleep.

Lydia sat in the corner of the second carriage, clutching the priest's staff in her hand. Her gaze swept back and forth between the two beds twice before quickly returning to her head, her ears slightly red.

Su Qingxuan walked over, glanced at her, and said in a flat tone, "You should go and rest too."

Lydia opened her mouth as if to say something, but seeing Su Qingxuan's gaze, she swallowed her words and obediently climbed onto the second bed and lay down.

Jiang Youchu was still busy at her workbench, grinding the bones of the last batch of fallen elves into materials and stacking them into the storage room.

Su Qingxuan walked over and patted her on the shoulder: "Alright, we'll do it tomorrow."

Jiang Youchu stretched, her bones cracking, and nodded, "Okay."

The two lay down.

The carriage quieted down, with only the rhythmic sound of wheels rolling over the rails and the gentle flow of water from the drip irrigation system in the greenhouse.

……

Five or six hours later.

Shen Wen opened his eyes.

The light inside the carriage was still so pale that it was impossible to distinguish between day and night.

Su Mu was still asleep in his arms, her face buried in his chest, breathing evenly, her long hair scattered on the pillow like a piece of black silk.

Her physical condition was only in her thirties or forties, far inferior to his.

She held out from beginning to end in the battle at the Fallen Cavern, her shield blocking countless attacks and her battle axe shattering countless demonic spiders. After returning, he tormented her in the bathroom for more than half an hour.

I'm really exhausted.

Shen Wen carefully pulled his arm out from under her neck, his movements as light as a thief's.

Su Mu frowned, turned over, rolled the blanket around herself, and continued to sleep.

Shen Wen sat up, put on his clothes, and walked towards the main carriage.

Su Qingxuan and Jiang Youchu were still busy.

Su Qingxuan had a trading platform screen in front of her, and she swiped her fingers across it, pausing every now and then to glance at her private chat.

Jiang Youchu squatted in front of the worktable, bottled the last batch of the degenerate concentrate, labeled it, and stacked it in the storage room.

"Still not asleep?" Shen Wen frowned.

Su Qingxuan didn't even look up: "Almost done. I'll go to sleep after I finish these orders."

Shen Wen walked over and pushed the screen away from her: "Go to sleep now."

Su Qingxuan looked up at him, her lips moved as if she wanted to say something.

"Sister Qingxuan." Shen Wen's voice wasn't loud, but his tone left no room for negotiation.

Su Qingxuan looked at him for two seconds, then finally gave up, stood up, and smoothed her hair: "Okay. I'll listen to you."

She walked to the second carriage and lay down next to Su Mu.

Jiang Youchu also stood up, stretched, her anime T-shirt taut across her chest, and yawned: "I'm going to sleep too."

She went to the second bed and lay down next to Lydia.

Lydia was already asleep, curled up in a ball, her long silver-white hair spread out on the pillow, her breathing very light.

The carriage fell completely silent.

Shen Wen stood alone by the porthole of the main carriage, looking out the window.

Then he froze.

It's snowing in the wasteland.

It wasn't the kind of snow that stops after a few flakes, but rather a dense, overwhelming mass of snowflakes pouring down from the gray-white sky, as if someone had torn a hole in the heavens.

A thin layer of frost had formed on the windowpane, and looking out through it, the gray-brown ground of the wasteland was being covered inch by inch by white.

The temperature dropped much faster than he had expected.

It was just a little chilly a moment ago, but now the cold air is seeping in through the gaps in the car windows and creeping up my ankles.

It was just a little chilly a moment ago, but now the cold air is seeping in through the gaps in the car windows and creeping up my ankles.

The thermometer in the carriage was hanging next to the storage box, and the red liquid column had dropped to single digits.

Shen Wen glanced back at the second carriage.

Su Qingxuan and Jiang Youchu had just lain down, the blankets not even warm yet. Lydia was curled up, covered only by a thin blanket.

Su Mu was wrapped up tightly, but her constitution was only 39, and she couldn't withstand this temperature for long.

Shen Wen withdrew his gaze and drew his scimitar.

A dark red light emanated from the blade, and the Fiery Blade was activated. Flames spread from the blade, climbing up the body like a red snake.

He raised his scimitar in front of him, allowing the heat of the flames to radiate into the carriage.

The snow is getting heavier.

It wasn't drifting, it was pounding. The snowflakes were so dense, it sounded like someone was pouring snow down from the sky, making a fine, crackling sound as they hit the car windows.

The frost on the windowpane grew thicker and thicker, spreading from the edges to the center, like a slowly unfolding white scroll.

A rustling sound came from behind.

Shen Wen turned his head.

Su Mu sat up in bed, the blanket slipped down to her waist, her hair was messy, and she was still sleepy.

She rubbed her eyes, reached out and touched Su Qingxuan's arm.

Su Mu's fingers paused for a moment.

The texture doesn't feel right.

Shen Wen's pectoral muscles aren't that big.

She glanced down and saw Su Qingxuan lying on her side next to her, the strap of her beige bra slipped down to her arm, revealing a patch of white skin below her collarbone.

Su Qingxuan felt the warmth of that hand. Without opening her eyes, she simply snuggled closer to it, her voice muffled as if she were holding a mouthful of water: "Shen Wen... stop it... let your sister sleep a little longer..."

Su Mu rolled her eyes quite forcefully.

She withdrew her hand and wrapped the blanket around Su Qingxuan, her movements not exactly gentle.

Su Qingxuan grunted, pulled the blanket over herself, and went back to sleep.

Su Mu stood up and stepped barefoot onto the metal floor. The icy touch sent a shiver down her spine.

She grabbed a coat and put it on before heading towards the main carriage.

Shen Wen stood by the porthole, holding a curved knife in his hand. The flames on the blade flickered, casting an alternating light and shadow over the entire carriage.

Su Mu walked to his side, her gaze falling on the white wasteland outside the window.

"Is it snowing?" Her voice was still hoarse from just waking up.

Shen Wen turned around and glanced at her: "Why didn't you sleep a little longer?"

"You've had enough sleep." Su Mu pulled her coat tighter, walked behind him, put her hands on his shoulders, and gently massaged his neck with her fingers.

Shen Wen leaned his head back, resting it on Su Mu's chest. Softness emanated from the back of his head, carrying body warmth and a faint fragrance.

"That feels good." He closed his eyes.

Su Mu didn't speak, but her hands didn't stop moving. Her thumb pushed outward along his shoulder blade with just the right amount of force.

Shen Wen laughed and said, "These regional channels are quite interesting."

Shen Wen opened the regional channel, and a light screen floated in front of him, with messages scrolling faster than before.

Most of the people were crying and wailing.

[D4011 Train Conductor Liu Feng: Damn, I'm freezing! Does anyone have a blanket? I'll trade bullets for one!]

[D2304 Train - Passenger - Li Sisi: The temperature is already below zero. The train is like an icebox. We're wrapped in all our clothes, but we're still freezing...]

[D8812 Train Conductor Zhang Wei: Who said they were going to turn on the weather system? Come out and take your punishment!]

[D5601 Train Conductor Zhao Yaoyao: Timber prices have gone up. Some people are exchanging 50 kilograms of metal for 100 kilograms of timber. They're going crazy...]

There is also useful information.

[D3371 Train Conductor Zhang Kun: The Aurora Society is recruiting. The president is already a Gold-level expert.]

[D1289 Train - Train Conductor - Lin Xue: The Spark Organization is providing free timber, limited to 50 jin per person. Meals will also be provided after boarding.]

[D3390 Train Conductor Zhao Tie: We recruit with ruthless efficiency, excellent benefits, and ample resources.]

Shen Wen glanced at them, skipped over the GGs, and scrolled down.

A message caught his attention.

[D4412 Train - Train Conductor - Chen Mo: Information revealed by a veteran survivor. To advance from Iron to Bronze, three conditions are required: 100% stats, a specific rank, and access to the next tier platform. All three are indispensable.]

"Upgraded platform?"

Su Mu asked in confusion, "How will this upgrade platform appear?"

They all knew that Shen Wen's attributes had already been maxed out, unless he broke through to the Bronze level.

The attribute points from before can only be stored.

Shen Wen continued scrolling down.

The experienced survivor revealed more than just that one piece of information.

But Shen Wen quickly frowned.

This information only tells you that you need to go to the advancement platform to advance from Black Iron to Bronze, but it doesn't say what kind of tasks are involved in the advancement.

Even when someone asked on the regional channel, the elderly people didn't say anything.

I just advise newcomers who have reached the required level to activate the upgrade platform as soon as possible, provided they have met the first two conditions.

You will then have a choice within six hours of the next platform, where you can choose to enter the next platform.

Upgraded platforms can only be accessed by individuals, and the stop time at upgraded platforms is only 2 hours.

You can become a Bronze-level player if you complete the upgrade platform, but if you fail...

You'll just have to wait for the next platform, and with each failure, the next upgrade platform will be even harder.

However, if he doesn't advance to the next level, the limitations on him will be too great.

Even if you get free attribute points from the treasure chest, you won't be able to use them.

"Could there be some kind of trap on this upgrade platform?" Su Mu also noticed this situation.

"Even if they exist, I'm not afraid. I doubt anyone who is only at the Iron level can possess Silver-level abilities."

Shen Wen smiled.
