Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!

"WALL-E, it's up to you."

No longer needing to consume Train Coins, WALL-E waved his mechanical arm and nodded toward Ye Qiyan with even more emotional gestures. Then he passed through the recycling device's opening that led outside the carriage, entering the ancient battlefield ruins outside, gradually disappearing from view.

"That direction..."

Ye Qiyan committed WALL-E's disappearance direction to memory.

After all, WALL-E couldn't bring the Demon Card back by himself. That kind of thing would likely have an altar and the light barrier enveloping it, just like before.

Without a key, he would need to use the Blasphemy Card's ability to teleport directly inside.

After completing these preparations, Ye Qiyan decided to go out and investigate.

The ground was orange-red.

The intense heat made the outside air shimmer with distortion.

"Well... regardless, let's head out first."

He treated the Ice Vein Pearl as a necklace, tying it tightly with a rope around his neck.

After mentally preparing himself, he approached the train's door, took a deep breath, and pressed the door opening button.

A wave of blistering heat rushed toward his face.

This wasn't the heat of calm stillness.

This was heat accompanied by howling winds!

Just imagine it.

50°C winds blowing against human skin wouldn't bring the slightest relief—they would only cause greater suffering.

Ding~

A faint humming sound resonated beside his ear.

The Wandering Star Holy Sigil deployed a protective barrier in front of him.

The scorching winds were blocked about three meters away.

The temperature consequently dropped significantly, and combined with the Ice Vein Pearl's effect, he could now move around here with relative comfort.

"Whew... good. So, where's the mission?"

Based on previous experience, mission platform tasks wouldn't be too far from the train.

He searched around but only found a white skeleton nearby.

Is this it?

Ye Qiyan approached the skeleton, drew Moon Veil from his Armament Space, and poked it with the blade tip.

Creak—

The skeleton instantly turned into powder.

The powder seemed to have its own consciousness as it tried to rush toward Ye Qiyan's face, but it was still blocked by the Wandering Star Holy Sigil.

"What's this?"

With the skeleton gone, a broken blade fragment lay beneath it.

The broken blade somewhat resembled the shattered short knife that Zhu Xingshu had given him to use when entering this station.

He took the short knife from his backpack, summoned the Raven demon, and had it touch the broken blade.

Nothing strange happened. The Raven demon picked up the broken blade and returned to Ye Qiyan.

"So hot..."

After cooling it with the Ice Vein Pearl, Ye Qiyan fit it together with the other half he held in his hand.

Indeed, they matched perfectly.

"Hum—"

The moment the short knife was reassembled, it emitted a faint humming sound like cicada chirping.

A trail of faint light points suddenly extended forward from the blade's edge.

"A guiding direction?"

He didn't act immediately but first returned to the train.

Let's not forget—his train carriage contained a very useful function.

The sand table.

Or rather.

The map.

After arriving at this station, the sand table hanging on the wall displayed a new map configuration.

Among it, a constantly flickering light point matched exactly the direction indicated by the short knife.

So this knife was going to lead him right next to that dangerous target?

Was the mission to kill that target?

Not necessarily. If that were truly the case, this shouldn't be a mission platform but rather a hunting platform.

After pondering for a moment, he realized he didn't need to memorize the sand table's contents.

Instead, he transferred the Illusory Surveillant Device's perspective here, allowing him to view the sand table's contents through the system's light screen while outside.

With the Raven demon clearing the path ahead, Ye Qiyan summoned the Road Tyrant and followed behind.

Following this light point continuously forward, the surrounding environment seemed indistinguishable from the Endless Wasteland.

After proceeding for an unknown duration, this completely uniform path could easily make one lose their way within it.

It seemed capable of making people unable to perceive how much time had truly passed.

But it didn't matter to him.

The never-wrong pocket watch—that item he hadn't paid much attention to initially—now demonstrated its usefulness.

[14:10:31]

2:10 PM.

"Whew... only been moving for over an hour? It feels like I've been walking forever... and so far."

This wasn't simply walking with his legs. Although the Road Tyrant wasn't at full speed, it was undoubtedly much faster than walking.

The Illusory Surveillant Device's monitoring light screen showed the sand table's light point display—the dangerous unit hadn't moved at all.

"Right here? So dark."

Finally, something different from the wilderness appeared ahead.

Amidst the distorted air, a deep pit—apparently created by something impact—appeared before his eyes.

Standing at the pit's edge and looking down.

He couldn't clearly see what was inside, as a layer of drifting faint mist obscured his vision.

"Seems I'll have to go down. But first, let's see what's actually inside."

Ye Qiyan pondered briefly, then took out the Demon Card Arrogance and activated its second ability: God's Perspective.

At the previous station, this ability had shown it could penetrate the train and directly view the interior scene.

So could it similarly penetrate this mist?

As the perspective activated and pierced through the mist,

Ye Qiyan truly saw what scenery lay below.

Rotting corpses—rotting corpses everywhere.

They were piled together, their remaining faces filled with expressions of agony.

And even with this mist present, the Scorching Sun's effect still persisted.

The scorching winds caused the stone-paved ground beneath these rotting corpses to accumulate even greater heat.

They walked upon it as if stepping on hot iron plates—with each step, the remaining skin on their feet tore and shattered.

The perspective continued forward.

A humanoid figure wearing armor, sitting atop the pile of rotting corpses, was... breathing heavily?

Huh?

Do rotting corpses breathe?

Was he human?

But if human, why would he be among a group of rotting corpses?

Should he go down?

The sand table's marked dangerous unit was clearly the armored figure. If he had rushed in recklessly without Arrogance earlier, he would most likely have been surrounded by these rotting corpses.

Below was dangerous, but if he didn't go down, this station's mission would remain stuck here.

After some consideration, Ye Qiyan took out that Pure Cleansing Stone.

Although the Pure Cleansing Stone was only Level 5, it could still serve its purpose when facing high-level stations.

Like that Screaming Ancestor from before—so far, he hadn't encountered a second being that could immune to low-level holy light.

A station's level wouldn't render low-level items completely useless.

He recalled the Road Tyrant, commanded the Raven demon, and entered this deep pit first.
