System: My Doomsday Train

Damn it!

What's he doing!

He's just a Level 4 Flesh and Blood Train, but the Kunlun Mountain area has so many Level 5 and Level 6 monsters. How dare he go so deep in!

Run!

Right now, this thought was firmly occupying all the space in his mind. If he didn't run, he would surely die!

The valley was full of high-level monsters. Once they caught up, he wouldn't have any chance to survive.

But before fleeing, he quickly pressed the green "Padded Button" on the console to record the coordinates here. Maybe... maybe, he could cooperate with that guy.

He provides the coordinates, and that guy would kill all those monsters. That guy would take the dropped blueprints and special tools.

And all he wanted was the flesh and blood of those monsters.

But...

Though that guy was very strong, he was also just a Level 4 Train. Could he handle so many monsters in the valley?

Just with a quick glance.

He saw at least four Level 6 bosses kneeling in the middle, surrounded by a dozen Level 5 bosses. The rest were all high-level elite monsters, with only a few scattered small monsters on the outermost layer.

This was just a small part, after all. If all the monsters in the Kunlun Mountain area were here, this small valley couldn't hold them.

...

Time passed quickly.

Three days went by in the blink of an eye.

The sky was already dark.

This was the third day that the Fixed Star Train had arrived on this mountain peak. In these three days, these train residents had created a total of 510,000 units of iron ore.

A total of five Level 2 iron mines, and one and a half had already been exhausted.

The effect was quite good.

"..."

Chen Mang looked at the messages in the Train Radio. In the past few days, there had been no changes in the Kunlun Mountain area. All the monsters had disappeared, and most of the Flesh and Blood Trains had crossed Kunlun Mountain to another green area.

After all, the Shahe Plain indeed had a higher safety coefficient than other areas, with very few wandering monsters.

Thankfully, he was a Mechanical Train.

It didn't affect him.

After all, monsters might hide due to annexation, but the mines couldn't hide for any reason. That wouldn't be logical, as mines don't have legs to run.

He looked at the resource quantity on the Train Panel, currently having exactly 700,000 units of iron ore.

The quantity was a bit low. At this rate, at most in ten more days, it would all be mined out.

At this moment—

"Brother!"

Er Dan, the Train Captain of the Azure Dragon Train, sent a private message: "I leveled up to a Level 6 Train, hahaha, you also need to put in more effort, huh? It's been so long, and you're still a Level 4 Train."

"..."

"Is it long? From the moment I stepped into the Shahe Plain, has it been a full month?"

"Hmm... maybe, but after all, you have S-level potential. Keep it up, brother. I'll wait for you with my Level 6 Train. Gather some foundations, and once you level up to Level 6 Train too, we can head to the yellow area together to see what's going on."

Chen Mang didn't reply, only looked at the "Radar Shield" component on the train control panel screen.

Yellow grade.

He had only crafted it and never upgraded it. After consuming 90,000 units of iron ore, he upgraded this component to Level 10 in one go.

After reaching Level 10.

Anything with a Level 10 or below "Target Detection Radar" couldn't detect the silhouette of his train. Although the upgrade cost was slightly higher than the usual yellow-grade components, its value for money was quite high.

Of course.

It only meant that his train couldn't be detected. If all the Train Members were inside the train, it would be equivalent to being invisible on the opponent's radar. But if the Train Members left the train, they could still be detected on the radar.

Meanwhile, he gained two supermodel effects.

-

「Radar Shield Level 5 Supermodel Effect」: None.

「Radar Shield Level 10 Supermodel Effect」: None.

-

Both supermodel effects were none, but this component didn't need any supermodel effect. Its upgraded effect alone was already strong enough. The train ambushing him outside the swamp used some method to evade his Level 10 radar detection.

That guy... he saw their armor, and it was identical to the paint on the goblin train armor at the time.

...

Seven more days passed.

The five Level 2 iron mines on the mountain peak had all been completely extracted, and now the iron ore unit on the train panel had reached 1.75 million units of iron ore.

This much iron ore was enough to accomplish many things.

First, he consumed 95,000 units of iron ore to upgrade the 15th Breeding Carriage to Level 6.

Then he looked at the cost required to upgrade the armor to Level 7.

The armor on one carriage from Level 5 to Level 6 requires 100,000 units of iron ore, from Level 6 to Level 7, requires 200,000 units of iron ore. He currently had 16 pieces of armor including the train head that needed upgrading, and to upgrade them all to Level 7 would require a total of 3.2 million units of iron ore.

In the green area, Level 6 armor was good enough; Level 7 armor wasn't needed for the time being.

After thinking for a moment.

He took out 405,000 units of iron ore to upgrade the remaining nine "Combat Training Virtual Spaces" in the Guard Carriage to Level 10. This way, in the Fixed Star Train, including the one in his train head, there were ten Level 10 Combat Training Virtual Spaces.

This allowed the guards to train in the virtual space, enhancing their physical fitness in reality.

Greatly improving single-soldier combat ability.

Then he spent 600,000 units of iron ore to send all 30 guards of the Fixed Star Train to car number 2, tailoring "Single Soldier Exoskeleton Armor" for each person, once again boosting single-soldier combat ability.

This 1,000,000 units were basically all used to enhance single-soldier combat ability.

There were still 740,000 units of iron ore left.

Just as Chen Mang was looking at all the train accessory information on the console screen, preparing to decide which accessory to upgrade next, a sharp and urgent voice filled with fear and a sobbing tone suddenly came from the walkie-talkie on the Train Radio.

"..."

Chen Mang frowned slightly. Only those he had replied to privately could so abruptly call him on the walkie-talkie, but he couldn't remember replying to someone so rude.

This could easily scare people.

But after he listened, he was slightly taken aback.

"Bro, I... I can't run away, I'm going to die..."

"I sent you coordinates; many monsters from the Kunlun Mountain area are hiding there. If you have the ability, you can kill them and get quite a few good items, as revenge for me."

The voice was extremely sharp and piercing, but it also conveyed immense fear and despair.

It was mingled with sounds like... chewing flesh, that was bones cracking.

"Ah!!"

A painful scream suddenly erupted from the other side of the walkie-talkie, and soon the voice weakened, clearly indicating that his life force was quickly dwindling away.

"Bro..."

"A few days ago, I saw them... they caught up with my train... took me and my train back to that valley... dragged me out of the train but didn't kill me... I just found a chance to rush onto the train..."

"I don't have time to run... I could only send you the coordinates."

"It hurts... it really hurts..."

"They're not killing me directly... they're nibbling at my flesh bit by bit..."

"If I'd known... the green area was this dangerous... I would have just stayed in Tieling Wasteland..."

"Bro, are you listening..."

"..."

Chen Mang frowned, opened the Train Radio to look at the coordinates sent by the "Purple Cloud" train, and said calmly: "I'm listening, do you... have any last words?"

"Why not try bashing your head against something sharp, it might make death quicker, less painful."

"I..."

The voice from the other side of the Train Radio walkie-talkie, initially filled with extreme fear and despair, had become extremely weak, murmuring like a mosquito buzzing.

"I want... I want my mom..."

"She didn't give birth to me to let me be... slowly consumed by monsters..."

"It hurts so much."

The next moment—

"Crunch."

A sound resembling a skull being crushed suddenly erupted, followed by the call being abruptly cut off. When a Train Captain dies, the train goes into an ownerless state, and all accessories, including the Train Radio, automatically shut down.
