Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!
Chapter 33: Continuous Sublimation"Whoever wants me dead won't get their wish."
"No matter how dangerous this place is, it's still just a Level 4 platform."
After a wave of slaughter, the monsters' siege gradually ceased.
Ye Qiyan climbed onto the train roof and touched the still-firing warning device.
"A Level 5 warning device should handle a Level 4 platform just fine."
"Sublimation!"
[Spirit: 90→40]
[Sublimation successful!]
[Sentinel Guard] (Level 5)
[Can briefly detach from train to pursue targets within 150 meters radius]
[Can freely choose when to activate surveillance]
[Consume 1 Train Coin to activate Overlimit Mode: doubles all weapons' attack speed for 30 seconds]
The sublimated warning device had transformed into a Sentinel Guard, its power evident just from the description.
The surveillance range expanding from 100 to 150 meters alone was a massive upgrade, not to mention the additional features.
Ye Qiyan's sublimation wasn't finished yet.
The Level 4 installations on his train weren't limited to just the Sentinel Guard.
He went to the third carriage where the inactive Surveillant Device quietly waited.
Also a Level 4 installation, the Surveillant Device had seen little use since external threats were easily handled by the Sentinel Guard. But better safe than sorry.
The Sentinel Guard's surveillance didn't cover the train's interior.
If any monster somehow bypassed the Sentinel's detection and boarded the train, that's when the Surveillant would prove its worth.
"Sublimation!"
[Stamina: 80→40][Spirit: 40→30]
[Sublimation successful!]
[Enchanted: Illusion Surveillant] (Level 5)
[Can be installed in any carriage to monitor all train areas. Will sound alarms when detecting intruders and release disorienting illusions]
The sublimated Surveillant's effects weren't as powerful as the Sentinel's, merely gaining an illusion enchantment whose full potential remained unknown.
After three consecutive sublimations, Ye Qiyan felt exhausted, but couldn't stop yet.
Returning to the lead carriage, he gathered both the Mithril Cross and Pure Earthbound Stone.
While physical intrusions were handled by the Surveillant and Sentinel, supernatural threats would require these two items.
Moreover, the Pure Earthbound Stone still had untapped potential, meaning it could undergo one more sublimation.
But with his stamina and spirit depleted, he needed time to recover.
Putting on bulletproof armor and gripping his Black-gloss Pistol, he prepared as thoroughly as possible.
He wouldn't let whoever wanted him dead succeed.
He would definitely leave this station!
Oh, one more thing.
[WALL-E, activate.]
Since he was here, it'd be a shame not to take something.
After completing all preparations, Ye Qiyan remembered something crucial.
"I'm starving."
Time to eat.
Taking meat and vegetables from storage, he set up a grill outside the train. Between occasional gunfire, he prepared lunch.
After being unconscious for a day, he deserved a meal.
"Speaking of which, did anything new appear after completing the fifth station?"
Checking the system logs, he actually found something new.
[All conductors have left the fifth station]
[Lifted restriction on private trading within stations]
[Lifted restriction on listing items on Trading Platform from within stations]
[Current maximum items conductors can list on Trading Platform: 5]
"The Trading Platform is unlocked?"
Good news indeed.
Having missed a trading window due to unconsciousness, he'd regretted not being able to acquire goods from those who survived the fifth station.
His private chat interface flickered - a friend had messaged him.
Shangguan Yingxue: ["Did you feel the tremors too?"]
["......"]
["Sorry for disturbing you."]
The messages left Ye Qiyan puzzled. Tremors? Had something happened while he was unconscious? The abrupt apology was even stranger.
Zhao Lin: [Brother Ye, thanks for helping me upgrade. I've reached the sixth station - a snack shop. Let me know if you need any food]
Attached was a photo showing various snacks, drinks, even alcohol.
After bad luck comes good fortune.
While envious of her sixth station, Ye Qiyan wasn't particularly impressed by Zhao Lin's Luck Conservation talent.
Good luck would inevitably be followed by misfortune. Who knew what her next station would be? Maybe she'd end up in a Slaughter Platform like him.
Li Xiaosheng: ["Have you considered my proposal? Truth is, after the sixth station, I'll become the first conductor to upgrade to Level 3 train. Join my alliance, provide weapons, survive together. In the future, I can help you upgrade too."]
Empty promises - this guy wanted him to join an alliance offering no benefits.
Was he some shady company boss before coming here? Such talent for painting rosy pictures.
Previously Ye Qiyan had considered trading with him, but after the fishing rod incident, he saw no point.
[Delete friend]
Scrolling down, Ye Qiyan noticed some names had turned gray. He remembered Shaya saying gray names meant destroyed trains - or death.
After clearing all private chats, he posted in the public channel:
[2453/10000]
["Bulk purchasing gunpowder. DM with offers."]
The message didn't receive as many responses as usual.
Besides the reduced population, most were currently exploring stations without modules, their system interfaces limited to the train's front.
This worked in his favor - his message would stay visible longer without getting buried.
One hour after docking.
Thanks to the Sentinel's slaughter, the hundred-meter radius around the train became the only safe zone nearby.
Ye Qiyan enjoyed grilled meat with White Forest Fruit and iced beer from Zhao Lin, almost feeling like he was vacationing in scenic woods rather than a Slaughter Platform.
Of course.
This illusion required ignoring the faint metallic scent in the air.
