Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!

Chapter 264: He left the city once again.

A name?

"How about calling it Scoundrel?"

The pure white mech was christened with the name Scoundrel.

Its mechanical drive emitted waves of sound.

Ye Qiyan reached out and pressed its metal shell, then snapped his fingers.

Electricity from the Void Electric Furnace was instantly transmitted to Scoundrel's core.

However, perhaps the Void Electric Furnace had too many electrical facilities to maintain, as a single charge actually failed to fill it completely.

"I should get some new charging facilities. I wonder if future upgrade options will still provide electric furnaces like this, but upgrade options are all random things, hmm... I'd better check the black market."

Having made up his mind, Ye Qiyan temporarily cut off part of the power supply. After replenishing Scoundrel's energy, he made a grasping motion forward, opening the Armament Space.

As if sinking into water, Scoundrel entered the Armament Space.

"It really works. That makes sense - even The Hunt can be considered a type of armament, so there's no reason this wouldn't work."

"What a pity, it lacks a cockpit, hmm... I'll figure out how to get one later."

He could freely control Scoundrel.

However, it wasn't like controlling a mech by entering a cockpit as seen in stories from the past.

"All done~"

Ye Qiyan snapped his fingers.

Arrogance, which had been circling around him, returned to the Void Card Repository.

Ye Qiyan originally intended to leave directly and return to the Wasteland.

But just then.

"Uh, that... is that you, brother?!"

A call made him stop in his tracks.

Turning to look at the source of the voice.

He saw Russell, who had lost one arm and his right eye, bandaged up, cautiously waving at him.

Russell?

He was still alive?

How surprising.

Bewitchment manifested~

"What are you doing here? What happened to your injuries?"

He looked Russell up and down.

The word "miserable" was almost too appropriate to describe Russell at this moment.

Russell seemed like he had encountered a long-lost relative and received care he hadn't experienced in ages.

He wore a sorrowful expression, struggling to hold back tears.

"Brother, do you know? The Boss, she's dead!"

Ye Qiyan nodded slightly, his tone calm.

"I know."

Of course he knew.

"The Boss was a good person. She did so much for us natives, but... but in the end she..."

A good person?

Ye Qiyan raised an eyebrow.

Had this guy lost his mind?

After being used as a vessel for the God of Decay, he still considered RUN Company's boss a good person?

Could it be that he was completely unaware he had been exploited?

"Speaking of which, how did you know I was here?"

Ye Qiyan interrupted Russell's tearful words. Hearing his question, Russell lowered his head and answered softly:

"It was a masked woman. I don't know her name."

"I suddenly passed out earlier, and when I woke up I learned I'd been knocked unconscious by the aftermath of the battle. She saved me but didn't even charge a single Train Coin, such a good person..."

So he was completely unaware of being possessed by a god?

No wonder he still thought the RUN Company boss was a good person.

The person Russell mentioned must be Menrojina.

Saving him without charging money?

Then... she must be planning to collect something more valuable instead...

Such as?

Information?

"After I woke up, I wanted to leave. Passing by here, I saw your Train. I originally intended to knock on the door... but, uh..."

Russell fearfully pointed at Eve on the roof, then at his own crippled leg.

"I just stepped within a certain range and got shot in the leg... luckily I managed to retreat..."

This was perfectly normal.

Before he lost consciousness, he had given the order not to let anyone approach the Train.

The reason Eve hadn't pursued was because of that order.

That 210-meter warning range.

If Russell had actually broken through.

He probably would have been turned into Swiss cheese.

"What next? What do you plan to do?"

Russell wiped the tears from his face.

His remaining eye revealed a determined gaze.

"I'm returning to the company. That unnamed older sister said RUN Company has fallen into chaos because of the Boss's death, and someone needs to take charge. Although I don't have the ability, that older sister said now is the best opportunity to improve my position in the company. She said she knows some people in the company who can help me..."

"Brother, do you think this is reliable?"

If Zhu Xingshu had said these words, Ye Qiyan would definitely have answered no.

But if it was Menrojina...

Ye Qiyan thought of her nearly bug-level intelligence network.

So that's how it was.

Was this how she managed to obtain so much valuable intelligence from various organizations?

Ye Qiyan gave a wry smile, then nodded.

"Of course, I probably know who the woman you mentioned is. She... wasn't lying."

"Really? Then, brother, come back with me! With your abilities, you could definitely—"

"I'll pass."

Ye Qiyan waved his hand.

Curling the corner of his mouth, the sound of Bewitchment slipped into Russell's ears~

He put on an extremely serious expression and patted Russell's shoulder.

"I need to continue onward to the Wasteland to complete the tasks the Boss assigned. The company's future can only depend on you. When I return, I'll treat you to drinks."

Russell stared blankly at Ye Qiyan, tears welling up in his remaining eye.

"Brother! Don't worry! I will definitely protect the company! On the day you return, I'll treat you to the finest liquor! Also, I'll work hard to find the person who killed the Boss! When the time comes, we'll avenge her together!"

Ye Qiyan smiled and nodded.

After receiving Ye Qiyan's encouragement, Russell left the area, returning to the third level to take a train away.

Ye Qiyan stood in place until Russell's figure disappeared, the smile gradually fading from his face. He rubbed his fingertips together, lost in thought.

"This guy really knows nothing, hmm... but, although it might not be useful, I might go to RUN Company someday. Having someone like him who can be utilized is good."

With matters settled thus.

Ye Qiyan put away his thoughts and stretched comfortably.

He glanced in the direction of the Tribunal's Throne Room.

Then, he returned to the Train.

"Time to go."

Actually, he had wanted to leave three days ago.

He never expected so many troublesome things would happen.

"Next, let's go get that Disaster Card first."

The Anchor's coordinates emitted a faint glow.

Whenever he wanted, he could enter the world where that Disaster Card had re-hidden itself.

"Hmm~ I wonder when the equipment she's making and the Fengyue Flower will be ready."

"Not waiting anymore."

He summoned the Light Screen.

On it.

The option to depart the station.

Shone brilliantly.

"Depart station!"

The steam whistle sound echoed throughout the space.

The void manifested.

Tracks extended.

Accelerate!

Suoluo City.

He had once again left this city.
