System: My Doomsday Train

"...Hoo."

Chen Mang sighed lightly, turned his head to look out the window at the train residents already eating, lit a cigarette, and looked at the faint blue smoke floating on the ceiling, his expression complex and silent, without speaking.

He entered the coordinates into the control console.

Indeed, they were coordinates for the Kunlun Mountain region.

His first reaction was that this wouldn't be a trap set by the Purple Cloud Train and other Level 6 trains against him, right? Preparing to siege him?

Firstly, he wasn't that familiar with the Purple Cloud Train.

How could they say so much to him before dying unless he had no friends?

Secondly...

The guy said too much before dying; the monster was already gnawing bit by bit, yet he could still talk so much; wasn't his pain tolerance too strong?

Logically, with such pain, one should have passed out.

Even if not passed out, the brain should be blank, with no energy to talk, let alone say so much.

It defied common sense.

But on closer thought, the possibility of it being a trap was low; there was no bait. The person just died directly; the name in the chat box dimmed and turned gray, which couldn't be faked.

Without any bait, it's basically impossible for it to be a trap.

However——

The temptation to him was indeed great.

"..."

Chen Mang narrowed his eyes slightly; his "Earth-Burst Missiles" had been upgraded to Level 6. No matter how many monsters were hiding in that valley, or if there were any Level 6 monsters, a single missile could clear everything.

Moreover, according to the Purple Cloud Train Captain, there were many monsters in that valley.

Even though a Level 6 missile costs a full 300,000 units of copper ore, it couldn't be unprofitable.

The more monsters there are, the more he earns.

The temptation to him was indeed significant, but others didn't know he had missiles; it couldn't be used as bait to lure him.

After a moment of contemplation.

"Have all residents return to the train; we're getting ready to set off."

"Okay, Train Captain."

...

Under the starry sky.

The Constant Star Train was racing across the Shahe Plain towards the "Kunlun Mountain" region, aiming for the coordinates sent by the Purple Cloud Train Captain before dying.

The distance was considerable; the mountain was at the northern edge of the Shahe Plain, further ahead was another white region, while the Kunlun Mountain area was on the west.

Three hours later.

The Constant Star Train gradually slowed down, switched to "Spider Foot," and stepped into the Kunlun Mountain region.

It was indeed like the train radio said; there wasn't a single monster in sight, nor could any red dots be seen on the "Target Detection Radar." This was his second entry into the Kunlun Mountain region, entirely different from the previous entry, when monsters chased him everywhere.

He controlled the speed at 100 km/hour.

Rapidly shuttling between the mountain ranges.

Half an hour later.

"..."

Chen Mang slightly narrowed his eyes as he gently stopped the Constant Star Train. The coordinates were within the detection range of the Target Detection Radar, but it showed no monsters at the coordinates, not even a single red dot.

A scam?

He was silent for a moment, recalling the words of the Purple Cloud Train Captain before dying, and decided to abandon further exploration.

There were only two possibilities.

The first possibility was that the Purple Cloud Train Captain tricked him, which he already ruled out; the probability was low.

Then there was only the second possibility.

The coordinates indeed had monsters, just that his Target Detection Radar couldn't detect them; his radar was at Level 15 but still couldn't detect anything, which was enough to indicate significant changes at the coordinates.

This wasn't something unusual.

Back in Shahe City, even items like oversized Amoxicillin tins rendered his radar undetectable once creatures hid inside.

Now, he faced only two paths.

First, maneuver the Constant Star Train close to the coordinates and observe with the naked eye whether monsters were indeed hiding in the valley.

Second, return the way he came, leaving the Kunlun Mountain region.

But he chose a third path.

"Buzz buzz buzz..."

The sound of gears turning slowly emanated from carriage No. 14, and hydraulic stands expanded like the skeleton of a steel giant beast, gradually pushing out a completely black Level 6 missile.

He chose to throw a Level 6 missile directly at the coordinates to see what's there, whether it be monsters or conspiracies to trap him; a single missile would end it all.

Just 300,000 units of copper ore, after all.

He had mined with such effort to avoid encountering more risks; if he still had to inspect any danger personally after mining for so long, then what was the point of mining?

The next moment——

The missile's silver-white warhead shimmered with a deathly cold light under the moonlight, emitting massive orange-red exhaust flames from its tail, roaring toward the sky, while the ground faintly cracked with web-like scorch marks.

The piercing explosion sounded abruptly in the quiet mountains under the starry sky.

Like a crimson meteor from the sky, it dragged a tail flame at a nearly vertical angle towards the valley coordinates.

Following that...

A scorching white light instantly enveloped the entire valley in the distant night view; the visible shockwave, like a transparent city wall, rolled across like waves.

The originally extremely quiet, even somewhat desolate mountains, suddenly felt like being paused by God and then rapidly fast-forwarded again.
