Collapse Iron: My Past Life Revealed, I Was Everyone's White Moonlight

Lu Li was taken aback when he heard Himeko's words.

"On the train?"

"Yes." Himeko's gaze swept over the tightly closed doors on both sides of the corridor.

March 7th, Danheng, Walter...

"The sound of engines, Pam's nagging, and the shutter clicks of cameras on March 7th."

"And then there's that awful cup of coffee someone makes every morning."

"Feed..."

"fact."

Lu Li rolled her eyes, but then couldn't help but laugh.

This woman can insult people like she doesn't care about money, but she manages to make you feel utterly irritable.

"Couldn't you just say 'It's alright'?"

"It's alright, but that's a lie." Himeko laughed. "The coffee you brew is too bitter. I always have to secretly add two spoonfuls of sugar."

"..."

Who made the coffee bitter?

Lu Li decided to replace all the sugar in Ji Zi's coffee with salt tomorrow.

The two remained silent for a while.

This silence is not awkward.

We spent two years together on the train, and some things we understand without needing to be said.

"Oh, right." Himeko suddenly remembered something, "I recorded all the data from your sparring session with Dan Heng during the day. I'll start making a formal training plan for you tomorrow."

Lu Li's expression instantly fell.

"Could it be just this once, today...?"

"cannot."

"...Can you relax a bit?"

"It depends on their performance."

"..."

Lu Li sighed and leaned back against the window frame.

"Himeko-nee, do you know what 'appropriate rest' means?"

"I know," Himeko said, raising her coffee cup. "Like now."

As if she had thought of something, Himeko added, "Training is not up for discussion."

"But if you perform well, we might consider giving you half a day off."

"real?"

Why would I lie to you?

Lu Li weighed the options for two seconds.

A half-day off means half a day of legitimate time to slack off, which is quite tempting.

"……make a deal."

Himeko smiled and shook her head.

Is this guy someone who has experienced life and death, or just a working person who wants paid leave?

She finished the last sip of her coffee and was about to say it was time to go back and rest.

"boom--!!"

The entire train shook violently.

The coffee cup flew out of Himeko's hand, and Lu Li's body almost crashed uncontrollably into the porthole.

Fortunately, he reacted in time and grabbed the railing to avoid falling.

Before the two could even react to what had happened...

next moment.

The emergency lights in the corridor were flashing wildly, and the alarm was blaring.

But it's not a problem with the train itself.

Lu Li steadied himself by holding onto the window frame and immediately looked out the window.

In the direction of the space station, a ball of orange-red fire was rolling and expanding from the outer wall of the main control module.

explosion.

The Black Tower space station has been attacked.

Wait, an attack?

As if remembering something, Lu Li frowned slightly.

Could this be...?

"Pam, train status!" Himeko reacted quickly, her navigator instincts allowing her to switch status and contact Pam within a second.

Pam's voice on the other end of the communicator was choked with tears: "The train isn't damaged, Pam! But the space station's docking system is broken, Pam!"

"We're stuck at the port and can't get out of Pa!"

The doors at the end of the corridor opened one after another, and everyone woke up.

Dan Heng was the first to rush out, his spear already in hand.

March 7th stumbled over in her pink pajamas, her hair a mess and her face full of bewilderment at being woken up.

Walter came out too, not even having had time to put his glasses on properly.

Another explosion rang out, even closer than the first.

The train shook violently again.

On March 7th, she lost her balance and fell forward, but Lu Li quickly grabbed her arm.

"Thank you..." March 7 was about to say thank you when her voice trailed off as her gaze fell on the spreading firelight outside the window.

A third fireball exploded on the outer wall of the space station.

Illuminated by the firelight, countless black figures poured into the space station from the blast hole.

Lu Li's pupils contracted slightly.

He recognized those things because he had seen them in the sky just yesterday.

In the mountains of corpses and seas of blood at Putello Starport, amidst the mountain of wreckage piled up at the feet of that "past self".

—Antimatter Legion!

"What's going on?!" March 7th looked at the scene outside in shock.

Himeko frowned slightly: "Pam, what's the situation outside?"

"Reporting, Train Commander Pam!" Pam's tearful voice rang out from the intercoms. "The space station seems to have been attacked, Pam! Pam doesn't know the details, Pam!"

"Was the train damaged?"

"The vehicle itself is fine, but what about the space station..."

Another dull thud followed, this time with an even stronger tremor.

The lights in the observation car went out with a "zzzz" sound.

Only the ever-expanding flames outside the window and the emergency light at the end of the corridor provided a faint light source.

"It's the Antimatter Legion," Dan Heng's voice rang out.

He had somehow reached the window, the spear in his hand gleaming coldly.

Through the shattered portholes, everyone could see countless dark figures pouring into the space station through the gap torn open by the explosion.

"Looks like we're in trouble."

Walter adjusted his glasses, which he had somehow straightened, and his voice remained as steady as ever.

Lu Li, standing to the side, looked at the scene outside thoughtfully.

If he remembered correctly, the opening plot of Star Train seemed to begin with the Black Tower space station being invaded by the antimatter legion.

So... is the main character about to get on the bus?

Thinking of this.

Lu Li was not nervous at all; on the contrary, he felt inexplicably relieved.

After all, the arrival of the main characters means that the reputation of the Star Train's main characters, the "heroes," will soon be established throughout the universe.

As a logistics specialist, all I need to do is find a safe place to hide and wait for this wave of attention to pass so I can return to my normal life.

After all, as the saying goes, only trending topics can beat trending topics.

Hmm, the perfect script for a salted fish!

Just as Lu Li was already planning to go back to his room, lock the door, and watch March 7 and the others save the space station.

Himeko's voice interrupted his reverie.

"Aster's communication."

Himeko connected the communicator on her wrist, and a holographic image of Estella anxiously popped up.

"Miss Himeko! The space station has been subjected to a large-scale invasion by the antimatter army. The main control system is paralyzed, and the defense system is also..."

Estelle's voice was breathless, with explosions and sirens blaring in the background, "We need train support!"

"Don't panic, Estádio." Himeko looked at the screen with a serious expression. "Send me the structural diagram of the space station and the coordinates of the wrecked personnel. We'll figure something out."

Please!

The communication was disconnected.

Himeko looked at Welt, and the two exchanged a glance.

Their years of cooperation and tacit understanding have allowed them to understand each other without speaking.

"I'll go to the control room and see if I can manually disengage the latch," Walter said, turning and walking towards the driver's cab.

"March, Danheng." Himeko turned to the other two. "I'm going to meet up with Estádio to direct the evacuation efforts."

"You two go to assist the evacuation of the personnel from the space station. I will have Estella send you the coordinates of the area that needs rescue."

"receive!"

On March 7th, he immediately straightened his back, his face full of enthusiasm.

Dan Heng simply nodded.

"Okay, be careful," Lu Li walked to Ji Zi's side and nodded to the two of them. "I'll cheer you on from the car."

"Oh right, Lu Li." As if remembering something, Himeko looked at Lu Li beside her.

"You'll be going with them this time."
