Chapter 135: "Brother, I... I can't escape, I'm going to die...
"Is this... is this right?"
In the Kunlun Mountain region, a man sitting inside the "Purple Cloud" train gazed with bewilderment at the empty canyon before him, feeling a bit like a warrior drawing his sword only to find no enemy to face!
He had come from the "Tieling Wasteland."
Once he had some disagreements with the Fixed Star Train, but he quickly conceded at the time, and the Fixed Star Train forgave him. However, the blow it left on him was significant...
He had painstakingly developed for so long, yet the Fixed Star Train caught up to him in a month, rising from an obscure figure to the top of the regional rankings, and a month later, advanced to a Level 4 train heading to the green zone.
It was a complete blow to him.
So he steeled his heart, saying to hell with mechanical trains; he'd throw himself entirely into the path, becoming a flesh and blood train!
It just so happened that the Kunlun Mountain region was teeming with monsters, and after his transformation, he planned to hunt down those weaker monsters there.
The plan was good.
He successfully transformed into a flesh and blood train with C-level potential. To reach B-level potential, he needed to kill a Level 5 monster, which he couldn't defeat, and he didn't know how others managed it.
Then, just as he was preparing to chase monsters in the Kunlun Mountain region with excitement, he found that all the monsters had disappeared, and countless flesh and blood trains on the Train Radio were wailing in despair without a single solution.
"..."
The man stood bewildered for a long time before looking at the "skull" on the control panel. Since transforming into a flesh and blood train, most mechanical parts inside the train were gone, and the "Train Assistance AI" became a "Flesh Brain."
The functionality wasn't much different from before.
Only the appearance changed a bit, and now he was the only one left on the train; all the slaves and thugs, including the Deputy Train Captain, were devoured by the flesh and blood train the moment he transformed successfully.
Honestly, had he known it would be like this, he might not have transformed, especially since they didn't explain what would happen post-transformation into a flesh and blood train.
The Deputy Train Captain was quite loyal, and there were still some feelings involved.
But the transformation was complete, and there was no turning back.
He looked down at his seat cushion, which looked like the exposed red flesh of lips turned inside out—the seat was quite comfortable without any sticky, bloody sensation.
The interior of the carriage also transformed into something resembling intestines, full of fleshy folds.
His "Three-legged Cat Heavy Machine Gun" had also turned into a "Bone Spike Machine Gun."
He could operate all the parts with just his mind, such as using his mind to control the "Bone Spike Machine Gun" via "Sensing Tentacles" for precise target detection, greatly enhancing control over the train compared to before.
Currently, the main drawback was...
The ceiling would show chaotic human faces staring at him as he slept, causing him some mental distress. These faces belonged to his former slaves, and despite doubts, he felt like controlling the train was akin to manipulating his own limbs, becoming increasingly seamless.
It was like...
It was like...
It was like he and this flesh and blood train were slowly merging into one entity.
"Sigh."
Only after a long time did the man let out a deep sigh, looking at the "Supermodel Effect Rankings," at the S-level potential mechanical train leading the chart.
Even if this guy came to the green region...
It was still very strong.
Clearly, when he was in the Tieling Wasteland, he was usually in the top five of the regional rankings, and the gap between him and the Fixed Star Train wasn't too vast, but after coming to the Shahe Plain, the gap quickly widened.
"Hmm?"
At this moment—
The man froze slightly, sensing a Level 2 monster flash 300 meters away. His face immediately lit up, and without hesitation, he operated the train to pursue!
A few thorn-covered spider legs started running wildly.
This train, which looked more like a combination of centipede, spider, and worm, sped towards the Zombie Wolf!
A Level 2 monster might not be much for the flesh and blood train!
But this was the first monster he had seen in the Kunlun Mountain region. By following this monster, he might discover where all the other monsters in the Kunlun Mountain region had gone.
After transforming into a flesh and blood train.
The control panel screen disappeared.
All the information appeared deep inside his mind, including the "Sensing Tentacles" converted from the "Target Detection Radar." At the front of the train, two short tentacles perceived information that appeared in his mind.
Almost the same as before.
The only difference was between displaying on a screen and inside his mind.
Moreover, after transforming into a flesh and blood train, he felt his thinking was more agile, capable of multitasking and managing multiple parts while handling lots of information without feeling overwhelmed or causing a mental crash.
Half an hour later.
The smile on the man's lips grew broader because he could already see with his eyes that the valley ahead was filled with many monsters, all kneeling on the ground as if performing some ritual.
Even with direct vision, the "Sensing Tentacles" didn't transmit any information.
At that moment—
The valley bursting with monsters turned their heads towards him in unison, with scarlet and grotesque bloodthirsty eyes, snapping the man awake. His expression changed drastically as he quickly maneuvered the train to turn around and speed back the way he came!
