My Doomsday Train

This item was controlled by the man in the sportswear from earlier, and it was also obtained by that man.

There were only four of them here.

They were still missing one Train.

So, the initial plan was to wait until that man's brother reached level 6 and arrived at the Zombie Basin before using it.

But.

Now, before his brother arrived, his brother's enemy came first.

And he came with a bang.

Not only did he snatch the tobacco business of the "Wild Bull," but he also directly topped the "Zombie Basin Supermodel Effect Quantity Ranking," as if he had the words "I'm very arrogant" carved on his forehead.

Most importantly—

The man in sportswear possessed a Train Stunt called "Forced Pull," which allowed him to forcibly pull another Train in the same region into a Fortuitous Encounter map when entering it, provided there was still space in the map and he knew the name of the other Train.

And now, it was clear that this man was preparing to take revenge, intending to deal a fatal blow within the Fortuitous Encounter map.

"I think it's inappropriate."

After the man in sportswear left, a middle-aged man in a military coat who stayed behind shook his head: "What I mean is, you should go and persuade him again. We don't even know what type of Fortuitous Encounter map this is—whether it's competitive, puzzle-solving, or cooperative."

"What if it's cooperative?"

"I do believe in the strength of the Stellar Train. Although it's only a level 6 Train, with so many Supermodel Effects, it's not much worse than a level 8 Train. But... do you think we can still cooperate properly? Is there even a possibility of cooperation?"

"If a Fortuitous Encounter map requires five Trains to cooperate to clear it, but we only have four Trains cooperating, the mortality rate will definitely skyrocket."

"This is not appropriate."

"It's a bit too impulsive. Even if he wants revenge, he could slowly look for him in the Zombie Basin. Why waste a slot for entering a Fortuitous Encounter map?"

"I think it's fine," a man with a crew cut wearing a down jacket next to him shrugged. "After all, even if he doesn't pull in the Stellar Train, he still wants to pull in his brother. It's not much different."

"Moreover, with the four of us—three level 8 Trains and one level 7 Train—there shouldn't be any Fortuitous Encounter map that can stop us."

"Besides, most Fortuitous Encounter maps don't pose too much danger; they're just hard to find. Even if we fail, there's basically no life-threatening risk."

"..."

"..."

They exchanged glances, but none of them came up with a better idea. In the end, they all silently sighed and tacitly accepted the man in sportswear's decision. After all, that man was the strongest among them, and the Special Item belonged to him. Since he was determined to do this, there was nothing else they could do but agree.

"Actually..."

The man with the crew cut in the down jacket suddenly laughed and lowered his voice: "Both brothers have A-level potential, but they spend all day clinging to women and can't let go. I think that guy wasn't wrong to criticize him. A Train Conductor who spends his days catering to AI emotions—it feels worse than being a Slave."

"Keep your voice down. Don't let him hear you."

"I know. I'm just saying it quietly."

"Alright, let's all go back to our Trains and prepare."

Night fell, and the sky was dotted with stars.

By now, the nearby open-air Iron Ore mines had all been excavated. Chen Mang was ready to go to bed, letting the AI control the Train to search for Mines. But just as he extinguished the cigarette in his hand.

A loud alarm suddenly rang throughout the Train compartment.

"Beep beep beep..."

"Beep... beep beep..."

The piercing alarm sound echoed sharply in the Train compartment.

On the control panel screen, two lines of text quickly appeared.

-

"The 'Anime Train' has used the Train Stunt 'Forced Pull,' inviting you to enter the Fortuitous Encounter map 'Geocentric Nuclear Bomb.'"

"The opponent's Train level is higher than yours. You cannot refuse."

"In thirty seconds, the entrance to the Fortuitous Encounter map 'Geocentric Nuclear Bomb' will appear in front of the Stellar Train."

-

"..."

Chen Mang narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the text on the Train screen. The name "Anime Train" was familiar to him—it was the brother of the "World Weary Train," the one who had sent him a private message before.

In such a hurry to kill him, huh?

He even pulled him into a Fortuitous Encounter map.

Couldn't he have just looked for him in the Zombie Basin? Was he really that impatient?

And the name of this map sounded familiar—Geocentric Nuclear Bomb.

He looked down at a Special Item in the drawer.

-

"Special Item": Laboratory Access Card.

"Item Effect": When in the 'Geocentric Nuclear Bomb' Fortuitous Encounter map, this card can be used to open a laboratory door within the map.

-

This item was a gift from the "Ten Steps to Kill One Person" Train when he held Shan Mao Zi's wedding over ten days ago. He had already put this card at the bottom of the drawer, thinking it would be a long time before he encountered this Fortuitous Encounter map.

Who would have thought that just over ten days later, this Fortuitous Encounter map would come looking for him?

"Oh well."

Chen Mang didn't really care. He just looked out the window at the portal that had already appeared in front of his Train. A strong suction force came from within it. He gently pushed the control lever and didn't resist, instead letting the Train glide into the portal.

You won't know if it's a donkey or a mule until you pull it out and see.

Want to mess with him?

Let's see if they can handle him.

After the Stellar Train entered the portal, the surrounding scenery began to change rapidly. When the surroundings stabilized, the Stellar Train had already appeared inside a massive elevator.

It was similar to the elevator they had encountered in the Mechanical City.

Except that the previous elevator was going upward, while this one was descending deep underground.

The elevator was surrounded by transparent glass.

He could clearly see that he was now deep underground, facing a massive pit. Inside the pit, five elevators were descending at the same speed. He could see that the other four elevators also had four Trains on them.

The pit was cylindrical.

They were still descending.

The inner walls of the pit were embedded with many Incandescent Lamps emitting faint light. The light wasn't strong enough to see what was above them or how much longer it would take to reach the bottom of the pit.

There was also no light screen appearing.

It seemed that only when the elevator officially reached the bottom would this Fortuitous Encounter map truly begin. Right now, it was a bit like... well, a bit like a progress bar. Only when the progress bar reached the end would the Fortuitous Encounter map start.

"..."

Chen Mang looked at the Targeting Radar screen, which clearly displayed detailed information about the other four Trains' various accessories, Accessory Levels, and condition.

"Wow."

"Three level 8 Trains and one level 7 Train. That's strong."

"But their Armor is quite low. Only the 'Anime Train' has a level 7 'Tycoon Energy Shield.' The other two Trains have level 6 'Tycoon Energy Shields,' and the level 7 Train is even using a level 5 'Energy Shield.'"

"Then again, blue-grade defensive accessories are terrifyingly expensive."

He suddenly laughed, feeling that there wasn't much of a threat. Although these Trains were all level 8, it was clear that their foundations weren't solid. They were just high-level Trains.

The firepower accessories, however, were quite high-level. All four Trains had level 8 firepower accessories.

All of them were equipped with "Hell Gatling Guns."

These were different from his "Doomsday Cannon." After all, the "Hell Gatling Gun" was a blue-grade firepower accessory available from level 4, so it was naturally prioritized for upgrading. By the time they reached level 5 and discovered another blue-grade firepower accessory, the "Doomsday Cannon," they wouldn't bother upgrading it.

Since both were blue-grade and could be upgraded to level 8, they had already invested resources into the "Hell Gatling Gun," so it made sense to continue upgrading it with minimal additional cost.

But.

The "Hell Gatling Gun" didn't have the "Half Consumption" Supermodel Effect, and its firepower wasn't as strong as the "Doomsday Cannon."

"Hmm..."

Chen Mang looked at his control panel screen and pondered. If the elevator reached the bottom and they could start attacking, with the Train Stunt "Absolute Defense" activated and full firepower unleashed, his Iron Ore reserves should be enough to take out all four Trains.

It would just be a massive expenditure.

All the Iron Ore he had saved up would have to be spent.

Even with two "Half Consumption" Supermodel Effects, the ammunition for a level 8 "Doomsday Cannon" wouldn't be cheap. It was very expensive.

Suddenly, he realized that these people were quite bold.

With only a level 5 "Energy Shield," they dared to wander around the Zombie Basin and even come looking for trouble with him. If he only had level 5 Armor, he wouldn't even think about causing trouble; he wouldn't even set foot in this area.

The reason was that upgrading "Defensive Accessories" was too expensive.

This led to almost all Trains being typically high in attack but low in defense.

He had the Supermodel Effect "Targeting Radar," which allowed him to see detailed information about other Trains' accessories. But the other Trains couldn't see his accessory information. Before the battle even began, the difference in foundations was already evident.

In the dark, bottomless pit.

The five elevators continued to descend at the same speed. After ten minutes, there was still no sign of reaching the bottom.

Finally—

The next moment!

As the light grew brighter, they finally reached the bottom.

Clack clack.

The sound of countless gears turning echoed as the five elevators came to a stop on a road. The Trains slowly rolled out of the elevators and stopped on the road, where clamps emerged to secure the Train wheels to the ground.

A faint yellow air wall separated each Train, temporarily preventing them from attacking each other.

Then.

A light screen slowly appeared in front of the five Trains.

-

"A long, long, long time ago, a city was built here as a refuge, intended to preserve the spark of civilization in critical times."

"But they found this place."

"And mercilessly slaughtered every living being they encountered along the way."

"From then on, this place became a wasteland."

"Hidden within this city is a high-yield nuclear bomb, powerful enough to destroy the entire city and annihilate those monsters. But the crisis came too quickly, and the nuclear bomb was never activated."

"Your mission: Activate this nuclear bomb and escape."

-

"It's over."

The moment he saw the light screen, the man in the military coat inside one of the Trains sighed helplessly, a trace of resignation in his eyes. He picked up the intercom and said wearily, "It really is a cooperative Fortuitous Encounter map. What do we do now?"

By now, the light screen had gradually disappeared.

In its place was a 60-second countdown.

"Listen to my command."

The Train Conductor of the "Anime Train" spoke in a cold, serious tone: "This faint yellow air wall only extends a hundred meters. That means when the countdown ends and the Fortuitous Encounter map officially begins, we just need to drive off this road and enter the ruined city to attack other Trains."

"We'll take out the Stellar Train first."

"Then the four of us will work together to clear this Fortuitous Encounter map."

"No problem."

"Let's hope so." The man in the military coat didn't look too happy. The turret on top of his Train began to slowly rotate: "This is the kind of Fortuitous Encounter map where people can die. I don't want to get stuck here just because we're missing a Train."

"It won't happen."

"Is it similar to the Mechanical City?"

Chen Mang thoughtfully looked at the ruined city at the end of the road. The skyscrapers were still made of gears, much like the architectural style of the Mechanical City. The countdown was almost over.

He was sandwiched in the middle.

With two Trains on either side.

Seeing the four Trains' turrets constantly turning, he knew exactly what they were planning to do.

But.

It didn't matter.

The next moment!

The countdown ended.

Without hesitation, he pushed the control lever, and the Stellar Train accelerated sharply, speeding along the road toward the depths of the city. The other four Trains also sped forward alongside him, as if afraid he would escape.

The hundred-meter air wall was quickly crossed.

Almost the moment they passed the air wall.

"Boom boom boom!!!"

The cannons on the four surrounding Trains fired almost simultaneously, with countless shells raining down on the Stellar Train like a storm. The scene was like the apocalypse.

Except—

A faint yellow film had already enveloped the entire Stellar Train. All the shells that hit the film merely caused ripples, unable to penetrate and harm the Train inside.

Train Stunt: "Absolute Defense."

"What the hell?!"

The man in sportswear inside the "Anime Train" looked at this scene, his expression changing slightly. He couldn't immediately figure out what the faint yellow film was.

But the counterattack from the Stellar Train had already begun.

The ten "Doomsday Cannons" on top of the Stellar Train roared for the first time at full firepower, instantly locking onto the four surrounding Trains. Without caring about Iron Ore consumption, they began firing at full force!

Even the never-before-used "40-Tube Cherry Blossom Fall Rocket Launcher" began to roar at the same time!

This was the first time the Stellar Train had unleashed its full firepower.

Countless level 8 cannon shells instantly enveloped the front sections of the four surrounding Trains.

Iron Ore consumption?

No one cared.

The other four Trains didn't have the Train Stunt "Absolute Defense." The level 7 Train with only a level 5 "Energy Shield" was immediately turned into a fireball the moment the Stellar Train opened fire, its front section flying into the air. The carriages, now without a front section, flew off the road like headless flies.

They crashed into the ruins on the side, with the carriages continuously colliding with each other.

Level 8 cannons against a level 5 "Energy Shield."

It was like a father beating his son—silence was the only response.
