Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!

"Come out, it's me."

Inside the small station.

Hearing the visitor's voice.

Zhao Lin ran out from her train.

"Brother Qiyan, what on earth is happening outside?"

Ye Qiyan didn't rush to answer. Instead, he took a cup of White Forest Fruit smoothie that WALL-E had trotted over to hand him and took a sip.

"Phew~ It's chaotic outside right now, you..."

He looked Zhao Lin up and down. The aura of Misfortune on this woman had already reached a certain peak.

"..."

"Go back inside your train. When necessary, leave the station directly."

Black Ebony spun a few times in his hand before being firmly gripped.

"Still not going?"

Zhao Lin didn't move, still standing in place and shaking her head.

"Brother Qiyan, the option to leave the station has been temporarily blocked."

"Hmm?"

He immediately called up the system interface. Just as Zhao Lin had said.

The option to leave the station, which should have been present, was currently grayed out.

[Please complete this station's objective before leaving the station]

Station objective?

Isn't that something that only appears in Station Worlds?

The words spoken by the chibi-style skull in the sky that he had heard not long ago surfaced in Ye Qiyan's mind.

"A game?"

"Because the time flow in the Wasteland is not synchronized, they deceived the System, causing the Hanging Gardens to be judged as a Station World? Then, through some ability, they issued a mission?"

"Or perhaps... some kind of authority?"

A gleam of excitement shone in Ye Qiyan's eyes.

The infinite Wasteland held infinite possibilities.

No one knew in whose upgrade option at a certain level, or in some treasure chest obtained from some station, there might be something wondrous, powerful, and special.

After all, even some of the System's own permissions, it seemed now, could also appear in upgrade options.

"Truly fascinating."

"Can't leave without completing the mission?"

"And they don't even intend to tell us the 'game' rules."

"Hah..."

Ye Qiyan suddenly laughed out loud, the corners of his mouth lifting as he called out:

"Eve."

Bzzzt—!

The weapon slots opened.

The Six-Round Ice Vein Cannon and the Great Compassion Heavy Machine Gun had long since locked onto the figure hiding at the entrance.

A piercing alarm sounded.

Within the defensive perimeter, a red light circle kept expanding.

Until it illuminated the faint silhouette of a human.

"!!"

That silhouette was extremely fast.

The moment it realized it had been discovered, it didn't flee. Instead, it made its figure completely visible.

The man who was locked on raised his hands above his head, adopting a posture of having everything under control.

"Friend, I mean no harm.

Your robot is truly impressive. My invisibility is very difficult to break. This one... is at least Level 10? Which means..."

He grinned.

"You can kill that brat outside, plus this robot above Level 10. Your train level must be above Level 30."

"Such a level in the Wasteland requires considerable time and cost. You... don't want to die here in the Hanging Gardens either, right?

How about... listening to my advice~?"

No harm?

Ye Qiyan gently stroked Eve's smooth, round head.

Eve's malice detection had already exceeded the threshold the instant the defensive perimeter locked onto this man.

"Not in a hurry~"

He soothed Eve.

His fingertip swayed slightly.

His left hand, the one not holding the gun, slipped into his jacket pocket.

A strange sense of foreboding made the man instinctively want to retreat.

"Of course I don't want to die here. Can you tell me what exactly happened in the Hanging Gardens? Also, I'm very curious, what were the game rules that skull in the sky mentioned earlier?"

A silent whisper circled the man's ear.

A flash of confusion passed through his eyes but vanished without a trace almost immediately.

"Hehe~ Friend, I am a member of Abukado. The Warden of the Hanging Gardens Prison in this city is an Elder of our organization. For today, Abukado has prepared for nearly a year.

We deceived Hanging Gardens Mayor Han Qi! Made him alter the time flow rate!

Made the train system judge this place as an Advanced Station. As long as we use Hacker-sama's special authority, we can alter some of the rules of this world.

You know what~ Your current identity.

Is not that of a Train Conductor traversing the Wasteland.

But.

An NPC!"

His face was filled with mockery.

The Demon's power made him utterly honest.

Ye Qiyan spun Black Ebony in his hand.

He deliberately put on a look of tension on his face, frowning, and pressed further:

"NPC? Why an NPC? What does that mean?"

The man felt a headache coming on.

He rubbed the space between his eyebrows, feeling an inexplicable discomfort in his heart.

"I... why should I..."

[Defiance—]

Bewitchment intertwined with Ye Qiyan.

A black mark in the shape of a smile appeared on the back of his hand.

"Answer my question."

The man's eyes looked somewhat muddled.

He patted his head in confusion, not realizing, or perhaps already unable to realize, that something was amiss.

Under Ye Qiyan's questioning, like a clown tumbling on a stage, he still wore that smug expression and continued to "answer."

"It seems you really do want to join our Abukado.

Hmm, good, I'll tell you the plan now. Once you know, you'll be an official member of our Abukado!"

He was finding "reason" for himself.

"From the moment the game begins, we members of Abukado will become players. In this Hanging Gardens with altered rules, we will complete missions belonging only to us!

The mission content is very simple!

Plunder! Just like in a Station World!

Everything we obtain from you guys, who have been reclassified as native NPCs, will not affect future train upgrade options.

The prisoners in that prison have long all become members of Abukado.

The brat you killed was responsible for plundering this District 11 commercial street. After he died, as the second-in-command, I would appear to invite you to join Abukado.

You should be glad you chose to agree!

Hahaha! Friend, keep plundering! If you die, I'll go invite the one who killed you! If he doesn't agree, I'll kill him!

Until this Hanging Gardens completely becomes the playground of our Abukado!"

I see~

Ye Qiyan stopped spinning the gun. The tension and confusion he had displayed were replaced by a smile.

"So it seems, you really are a thorough, true-blue terrorist organization through and through."

"You, uh... what I just...?!"

As Ye Qiyan casually raised his hand.

Bewitchment ended~

The man's reason returned. His pupils contracted.

Looking at those mysterious cards forming a ring shape behind Ye Qiyan, his expression changed drastically.

"Card Sequence?! You are! You are!"

When the Scoundrel appeared behind him, blocking the large door leading to the outside world.

When he wanted to flee but was locked by Eve's defensive perimeter and couldn't turn invisible.

When he wanted to fight desperately, wanting to kill Ye Qiyan who looked like a Summoner.

The Demon girl drew the Tear-Engraving Sword.

With one swing.

This sword, a Level 13 sharp blade even in its normal state, cleaved the man, his face filled with unwillingness and fear, into two halves.
