Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!
Chapter 162: Anyone is fine... Save me...After Zhao An, Shangguan Yingxue, and the others had been gone for some time.
Zhao Lin, who remained on the platform, observed the outside world through the gaps in the train window.
Those men and women dressed in white were lingering near the train.
They seemed to be hesitating, yet also seemed to be waiting for something.
The way they looked at the train was like looking at a live fish on a cutting board.
"Knock, knock, knock~"
The train door was knocked on.
From outside came an eerie voice.
"Train Conductor, may we ask if your health has improved? Our City Lord sincerely invites you to his mansion, where delicious food and drink have been prepared, awaiting only your presence."
"I, I already said, I'm not feeling well, I don't want to get off the train, don't worry about me."
BANG——!
The white-clothed man extended a hand hidden within his wide sleeve.
It wasn't a human hand, but a sharp mechanical prosthetic.
The claw tightly gripped the train door; even the door upgraded to level 4 emitted a piercing screech under this strike.
"Train Conductor, our Ten Cangmi City has the best medical facilities. No matter how much pain your body is in, once you reach the city center, everything will get better. So.... please get off the train."
The man's voice grew increasingly cold, and by the end, there was even a faint, hollow mechanical static noise.
Zhao Lin grew even more afraid, utterly confused in her heart.
Hadn't her bad luck already disappeared? Why was she still encountering such dangerous situations?
Regret...
If she hadn't agreed to come to this station with others, perhaps things wouldn't be like this now.
The train door was being torn at.
It was only because the train had been upgraded to level 4 that the body strength was much greater than level 3; otherwise, in this short time, the door would definitely have been torn apart by that man.
BANG—BANG! BANG!!!
More white-clothed people gathered around.
Hammers, wooden clubs, sharp claws..
They raised their weapons, continuously pounding and damaging Zhao Lin's train.
Watching as moonlight fell through the gaps created by the destruction.
Zhao Lin bit her lip, closed her eyes, picked up a bomb she had prepared earlier—originally intended to end herself during an extremely unlucky moment—and hugged it to her chest.
In her heart, she clung to one last shred of fantasy.
"Anyone... someone please save me... Brother Qiyan..."
Ye Qiyan's aloof image surfaced in her mind.
If Brother Qiyan were here...
CLANG——
The door was opened.
Zhao Lin covered her ears, ready to detonate the bomb at any moment.
And right at that moment.
"Hey, throw away that thing in your arms. I don't want to waste items saving you again."
Huh?
An auditory hallucination?
Had she already died?
Ah, is this the life-flashback at the final moment of life?
How strange, what she saw wasn't the world of her past life, but Brother Qiyan?
Zhao Lin grinned foolishly, looked at the person before her, reached out her hand, and actually gently placed it on his face, then pinched hard.
"What the hell??? What's wrong with you?"
"Huh? The people in the life-flashback are so realistic... come to think of it, isn't this a bit too long.."
Ye Qiyan sighed helplessly, rubbing his forehead, looking at Zhao Lin hiding in a small fortress piled with wood, her face foolish, and delivered a chop to the top of her head with his hand.
"Ah, that hurts! Huh? How can a life-flashback hurt?"
"Flashback my foot! Wake up!"
A White Forest Fruit fell into his hand; he pressed it hard and directly stuffed it into Zhao Lin's mouth.
"Mmm...."
The sweet taste of the White Forest Fruit stimulated her taste buds, a cool sensation rushing to the top of her head.
Zhao Lin's consciousness finally recovered somewhat; she stared blankly at the young man before her, pinching her own thigh hard.
"That hurts, so it's not a dream? Brother Qiyan? It really is you! Wow, I thought I was going to die! How are you here?"
"Come out first."
Looking at the hand Ye Qiyan extended toward her, Zhao Lin blinked her eyes and gently placed her hand in his.
Stepping out of the train car, she saw an unforgettable scene.
Outside the train, those white-clothed people had already disappeared; scattered on the ground were products of flesh and machinery fused together.
The Raven Demon sat perched on top of one train car.
The demon ravens pecked at these not-very-tasty foods.
"All of this... was done by you, Brother Qiyan?"
"Otherwise?"
"So impressive..."
Snapping his fingers, Ye Qiyan gave the ravens an order to collect all these cyborg corpses.
He took out his pocket watch and glanced at the time.
Only half an hour had passed since entering the station; the time spent on the road was far more than what it took to deal with these robots.
"Brother Qiyan, why... are you here?"
Ye Qiyan glanced at Zhao Lin, the corner of his mouth quirking up in an amused arc.
"Maybe it's because your luck is so good that it brought me to this world to save your life?"
"....?"
No, wait.
Now that he mentioned it.
He actually felt it wasn't impossible.
Forget it, it wasn't important anyway.
That he could choose to come to this station might indeed be due to Zhao Lin's luck, but the final choice to save her was simply him following his own heart.
"Luck, huh... hehe, then it seems my talent really has become very good, actually able to summon Brother Qiyan directly. That's not ordinary luck."
Zhao Lin said with a laugh.
"What are you thinking? Remember, you owe me another batch of Train Coins, got it?"
The person had to be saved, but the money also had to be collected.
Even brothers keep clear accounts, let alone when the other party is a woman.
"Ah... oh... profiteer..."
"Hmm? What did you say?"
"Nothing, nothing! I said, thank you, Brother Qiyan! After I find treasure chests later, I'll definitely give you the Train Coins inside!"
Cant be bothered to pay attention to Zhao Lin's muttered words, earlier he had been too busy dealing with those guys outside, he hadn't paid attention to the surroundings.
All the other trains here were the lowest-level carriages; aside from Zhao Lin's, only one or two others looked somewhat decent.
"So many trains, tsk tsk, a pity, none are special carriages."
He was no longer the novice who used to lack basic resources; these ordinary lowest-level carriages were meaningless to him except for taking up space.
As for the locomotive sections.
If they could be brought back to the city, each could probably be sold for about 10 Train Coins, provided they could be brought back.
And if placed on the black market, their buyback price was even more ridiculous.
Only five Train Coins.
While the selling price remained the same as in the city exchange, at 100 coins.
"Nine trains, even if dumped on the black market, that's forty-five Train Coins... hmm.... but have to wait until they die before they can be listed on the black market... hmm..."
Ye Qiyan rubbed his chin.
He knew these people were being taken for sacrifice, and he also knew his target at this station was the City Lord of this Ten Cangmi City.
So, should he go a bit later?
Wait until the people here die, then turn their trains into Train Coins?
"However, there's someone I know..."
Shangguan Yingxue, that woman who sold him water before; it seemed she had already been tricked into going there, about to become part of the blood sacrifice at any moment.
He looked toward the center of Ten Cangmi City, where that enormous building, surrounded and supported, was emitting an enchanting glow under this moonlit night.
Perhaps after his mental stats increased, his perception of many things had become quite sharp.
Ye Qiyan could clearly sense that this platform world was at a certain critical point; it only needed one final push of power to break through the shackles here.
And that power was the last ten Train Conductors to be used for the sacrifice.
Suddenly, Ye Qiyan somewhat understood what he needed to do at this station.
Since this was called an Ascension Platform and not a Mission Platform.
Then his goal wasn't to earn Li Wai's thirteen Train Coins, but to disrupt them before they completed the Ascension Ritual.
