My Doomsday Train

Time moved to the evening of the following day.

On this night, all residents were busy, though not with mining, but with preparing tables, chairs, and the like. Tomorrow at noon, Lord Mang would host a wedding for Shan Mao Zi and his girlfriend Mei Jia!

Everyone was excited.

Though they weren't the main characters of the wedding and didn't know the couple, the juxtaposition of "doomsday" and "wedding" was inherently jarring.

Doomsday represented despair, symbolizing the fall of life.

While a wedding represented hope, symbolizing the birth of life.

A doomsday wedding.

For those who had struggled to survive in the doomsday for over a year, they were eagerly anticipating this wedding. It would allow them to momentarily forget the apocalypse and immerse themselves in the celebration.

Inside the Stellar Train.

Over the past two days, they had mined a total of 210,000 units of Iron Ore. Combined with their existing reserves, they now had 670,000 units of Iron Ore.

Chen Mang had already spent 400,000 units of Iron Ore to upgrade the Stellar Train to level 6.

Soon—

A line of text appeared on the train's control console screen.

-

"Your train has been upgraded to level 6."

"More craftable accessories will be unlocked."

-

"Level 6 train."

Chen Mang silently gazed at the screen. Months ago, when he first crossed over, he had obtained his first train. After months of development, the train had finally reached level 6.

Every time the train leveled up, it gained a special function.

He wasn't sure if this happened at every level or just the early ones.

The function unlocked at level 5 was "Mecha Crafting," which enhanced the combat capabilities of the Train Crew. After reaching level 6, a new button appeared on the control console.

「?」

However, this button was just a question mark, with no other information provided.

He wasn't in a hurry. He would ask Er Dan about this situation tomorrow during the wedding. Train radio channels rarely had level 6 trains speaking up, and no one had discussed this scenario.

The number of level 6 trains was already small.

Now, the big event was tomorrow's wedding for Shan Mao Zi and Mei Jia. This would earn him another 500 Inheritance Points, adding to the 100 he hadn't spent yet, totaling 600 Inheritance Points. This should allow him to buy quite a few good things from the Black Market Merchant.

Actually, he had been somewhat tempted by the "White-tier Accessory Blueprint" that cost only 10 Inheritance Points.

White-tier items might not be very useful for other trains, but in his hands, they could be maximized!

With just a small amount of Iron Ore, he could gain many Supermodel Effects. Even life-related accessories could have miraculous effects in certain situations, like a level 10 Refrigerator.

But he was afraid that if he spent a little now, he might miss out on something valuable worth 600 Inheritance Points later, so he had been saving up. After the wedding tomorrow, he could start spending.

Chen Mang looked at the conditions for a Golden Wedding.

-

Golden Wedding.

Requires a wedding to be held in the presence of 1,000 witnesses, with three trains of the same level attending the banquet. Food and drinks must be prepared for all attendees, along with basic items such as wedding dresses, red carpets, artificial flowers, and fireworks.

Successfully hosting a Golden Wedding will grant the train 500 Inheritance Points and 20 Reputation Points.

-

The population requirement was met, and Er Dan had arranged for the three trains of the same level. He had the food and drinks, with the alcohol being a gift from Er Dan. He had used the Mechanical Heart to create artificial flowers. These inanimate objects could still be crafted by the Mechanical Heart, of course... Iron flowers, which looked no different from artificial flowers and were even more three-dimensional.

The Iron Ore consumption was minimal.

For the wedding dress and suit, he had spent 1,000 units of wood to create high-precision outfits for the couple.

As for fireworks.

He had prepared a level 1 missile.

Level 1 missiles were cheap and could serve as a deterrent at the start of the banquet. Later, they could be used as fireworks, which would look good. He had prepared everything.

Although the two trains were friends of Er Dan.

He didn't know them personally.

The wedding needed to be held on the plains. If those two trains attacked his Train Residents at the start of the wedding, it wouldn't be a good situation. So, it was necessary to show his fangs from the beginning and intimidate the other side.

If they dared to attack him.

They should think twice about whether they could leave alive.

Lao Zhu had already taken care of the wedding arrangements, so there was nothing for him to worry about. He just needed to wake up naturally.

The night was already deep.

Lao Zhu, holding a walkie-talkie, looked out at the wedding venue being constructed outside the train, continuously shouting.

"That board is fucking crooked!"

"Hurry up with the trusses! We don't have starry skies, so just lay out some artificial flowers."

"And those four ground burst balls next to the red carpet. Tomorrow, you'll be in charge of watching this spot. The moment the couple walks past, detonate them, got it?"

He wasn't very knowledgeable about wedding decorations.

But as a second-in-command, he often dealt with venue arrangements, as there was a lot of profit involved. Through exposure, he had picked up some knowledge about wedding decorations, and he could manage well enough, with no major issues.

He was also the host for tomorrow.

"Uh..."

At this moment, Shan Mao Zi, standing beside him, whispered sheepishly, "Train Conductor Zhu, there's really no need to go to such lengths. My status on the train isn't that high, is it?"

"This is Lord Mang's intention."

Lao Zhu patted Shan Mao Zi's shoulder and smiled. "Just accept it. Even before the doomsday, many people didn't have weddings as grand as yours. You two are the first couple to marry on the Stellar Train, so it's a good omen."

"But since you're getting married, you can't go to the Red House anymore."

Upon hearing this, Shan Mao Zi's face instantly turned anxious, and he hurriedly said, "Train Conductor Zhu, you can't just say things like that! I've never been there. If you don't believe me, ask Biao Ge. He can vouch for me. I've never been there!"

"Mei Jia, you have to believe me. I really haven't been there!"

The Red House was a Refrigerator in the Stellar Train's Resident car where meat-selling residents gathered to receive clients.

A red cloth hung outside the Refrigerator, serving as a signboard.

Residents jokingly called it the Red House.

Blushing, Mei Jia leaned on Shan Mao Zi's shoulder, her eyes filled with quiet anticipation for tomorrow's wedding. She pinched Shan Mao Zi's lower back and whispered, "It's okay if you went. I don't mind."

"Ouch!"

Shan Mao Zi sucked in a sharp breath from the pain, then his voice rose in anxiety, "Train Conductor Zhu, where's Biao Ge? I need him to vouch for me. I really haven't been there!"

"What do you mean it's okay if I went? I've never been there!"

"Alright, alright."

Lao Zhu chuckled and patted Shan Mao Zi's shoulder again, looking helplessly at Mei Jia. "He really hasn't been there. I was just teasing him. He spends most of his time training. Don't bring this up with him in the future."

"I just saw he was a bit nervous and wanted to lighten the mood."

"Your task for tonight is to rest well and be in top form for tomorrow's wedding. There will be other trains coming to the banquet, so make sure to present yourselves well in front of outsiders."

"Uh..."

Shan Mao Zi hesitated for a moment before asking softly, "What about the 'Bowing to the Elders' part of the ceremony?"

"Bow to the Stellar Train when the time comes."

"Okay."

After this little episode, the couple seemed less nervous and walked back into the train. Only faint voices carried by the night breeze reached Lao Zhu's ears.

"Mei Jia, I really haven't been there, honestly."

"I believe you."

"You really believe me?"

"Yeah, the first time we met on the Stellar Train, you were quick. Usually, if it's been a while, it's fast."

"Damn it, you might as well not believe me!"

"Whatever... I'll buy some nuts tomorrow night."

Standing where he was, Lao Zhu looked at the couple's retreating figures with emotion. It was so nice. Seeing such a scene in the doomsday was rare. For these two, the doomsday had become a paradise.

Not only had their ALS been cured, but they also had a wedding arranged for them, and Lord Mang had even assigned them a wedding suite.

Well.

Where else could they have enjoyed such treatment before the doomsday?

The next day—

The Azure Dragon Train met up with the other two level 6 trains on the Shahe Plain, preparing to attend the wedding together.

The three Train Conductors stood on the plain, discussing.

"Remember."

Er Dan looked seriously at the other two Train Conductors. "I was the only one originally invited to this wedding. I only agreed to introduce you two because we've gotten along well."

"Once we're there, speak less and listen more. Just be spectators."

"And absolutely don't make any suspicious moves. Don't let a gun fall out of your coat while clapping, and then tell me it's reasonable for a Train Conductor to carry a gun."

"Got it?"

"Got it." The Train Conductor of the "Only Love One Train" slapped his chest solemnly. "You know me. In my life values, there are only three types of people."

"Ants, comrades, and seniors."

"When facing seniors, I'm extremely well-behaved. The Stellar Train is definitely a senior, so I won't provoke him."

Then he suddenly laughed sheepishly.

"Uh... If I lick up to him like you do, will he give me some benefits too?"

"That's what I was thinking." The Train Conductor of the "Ten Steps to Kill One Train" also said excitedly. "He has so many Supermodel Effects, so he must have a lot of Murphy Stones, right? Maybe he'll casually toss a Murphy Stone to us or something."

"..."

Er Dan gave them a sidelong glance. "I don't even want to comment on the names of your trains. Hey, I've always wanted to know, do you two fight over who owns 'One'?"

"And Murphy Stones? Dream on!"

"You're just going to see the world and get a free meal. Whether you can connect with Chen Mang afterward depends on your skills. But looking at your wretched appearances, it's probably not happening. Like beggars."

"But..."

Er Dan licked his lips and looked at them with emotion. "The reason I brought you two to the wedding is that, like me, you're cautious and won't cause trouble."

The two looked at each other, both seeing the smile in each other's eyes.

"I became a level 6 Train Conductor thanks to one excellent quality: being cautious enough."

"Same here."

"Alright, get on your trains and let's go."

The sun hung high in the sky.

It was noon.

"..."

Chen Mang looked at the control console screen. When the three trains were still over 10,000 meters away, he detected them. He immediately turned to Xiao Ai and ordered, "Tell everyone to get ready. The missile and Sakura Blossom Rocket Launcher can be raised."

"The mechas should also move around."

"Get everything moving."

"Yes."

Then he walked to the mirror and looked at his outfit for the day. He had crafted a new set of clothes for himself. The weather was getting cold, and although his previous clothes had good Temperature Lock, they still let in some wind.

The top was an orange sweater, and the bottom was just ordinary pants.

A very casual outfit.

"Hmm..."

"How did that saying go? Ttod? Or Ctod?"

"Whatever, I can't remember. It's all a mess."

"Huh?"

The Train Conductor of the "Only Love One Train" twitched his mouth as he looked at the Targeting Radar, which showed over a thousand red dots ahead. This guy! He knew this train must have a lot of Slaves!

After all, it was the top-ranked train on the Shahe Plain in all three rankings.

The "Power Value Ranking," "Supermodel Effect Quantity Ranking," and "Reputation Points Ranking." The Stellar Train was undoubtedly first in all three, and the gap with the second place was significant.

Especially the gap in the Supermodel Effect Quantity Ranking with second place.

He now strongly suspected that even if they went to the yellow zone, it would still be first. Even the Flesh Train couldn't get that many Murphy Stones.

Where on earth did he get them from!

Soon—

He saw a train resembling a mechanical dragon parked on the wasteland not far away. Around the train, over a thousand Slaves were busily and excitedly preparing the banquet.

Although Er Dan had told him that the Stellar Train treated its Slaves well.

But this was too good...

At least he had never seen his own Slaves smiling while working.

"Wait..."

The man suddenly froze, looking at the missile, Rocket Launcher, Heavy Machine Gun, and Doomsday Cannon that had emerged from the Stellar Train, all aimed at his train.

"Don't mess with me, buddy. I'm here for the wedding, not a funeral."

"This is making me nervous..."

But soon.

The weapons turned away again, clearly without malicious intent. The man sighed in relief and slowly reduced the train's speed, parking it about a hundred meters away from the Stellar Train.

Then he jumped down, bringing his trusted aides and subordinates, and walked toward the young man standing in front of the Stellar Train with a broad smile.

The man held a cane, so he must be Chen Mang.

He seemed quite approachable.

No airs. He had thought they would have to wait outside for a while.

Strange. The Train Conductor ranked first in all three rankings was actually this approachable?

"Welcome from afar."

Chen Mang looked at Er Dan and the two men beside him, smiling. "These two must be Er Dan's friends, right?"

"Food and drinks are plentiful today."

"Why not let the ot

hers from your trains come down and join the fun?"

"Better not..."

Er Dan said helplessly. "Last time, after just a brief interaction, I felt they were looking at me differently. If they stay longer this time, I think they might defect."

"It's not about the treatment being bad, but about comparison."

"Actually, I treat them quite well, but it's nothing compared to you."
