Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!

As expected, some people began scheming after learning about the unlimited docking time.

Shangguan Yingxue walked out of the shopping hall, scoffing at the chatter in the group chat. She boarded her train with her acquisitions and departed.

Unlike her, Li Xiaosheng chose to stay. Though he had no intention of remaining here himself, the Alliance he founded had arranged to meet at this station. Moreover, Li Xiaosheng had a resource extraction plan.

Since the station's docking time was unlimited, as long as his Alliance members occupied all 20 tracks, others would be forced to wait outside - no entry without paying a toll.

As time passed, more people arrived at the station. Thanks to Li Xiaosheng's basic resource support, his Alliance members arrived faster than others, securing most of the 20 tracks. Latecomers could only park outside, constantly attacked by monsters.

They huddled together for survival while hurling abuse at Li Xiaosheng in the chat:

["Li Xiaosheng you motherf*! What's the meaning of blocking the entrance? Let me in!"]

["You own this station? Who gave you the right to demand resources? One Train Coin for passage? Who the hell do you think you are?"]

["F*ing dog! Just wait till I get inside."]

Alliance members who benefited joined the verbal battle. But one thing was undeniable - they came too late, and initiative was never in their hands.

As monsters outside multiplied, some reluctantly paid the toll to Li Xiaosheng's Alliance for entry. Li Xiaosheng tasted the intoxication of power for the first time.

"See? I'm clearly the protagonist of this world!"

Eager to flaunt his success, he pulled up the interface and entered a memorized ID number.

"Ye Qiyan...heh. You're the one person I'll never let in!"

————

Fetching water, watering trees.

Ye Qiyan plucked a fruit and took a familiar bite.

"Still the best. Getting tired of all that rich food."

Such words would infuriate anyone hearing them.

The holographic interface floated beside him, displaying private messages. Just then, a notification appeared.

"Li Xiaosheng? Why's he contacting me again?"

After brief consideration - having nothing better to do - he decided to see what nonsense the man had to say.

["Ye Qiyan, last chance. Hand over that Rifle Blueprint and I might consider letting you in. Otherwise, rot outside!"]

Enter the station?

He'd left hours ago.

And that tone...had he somehow offended this guy?

Another message arrived:

["Cat got your tongue? Hah! Truth is, even if you surrender that blueprint, I'll still make sure you die out there! Think a Low-Grade Rifle Blueprint is valuable? I'll repay your humiliation tenfold!"]

"No wonder he always seemed off. Turns out he's a lunatic. Deleting him earlier was the right call."

Ye Qiyan couldn't be bothered with this madman. He tapped the interface with one reply:

["Oh."]

Then came the full suite of blocking services - blacklist, mute, complete severance of contact.

At the station, Li Xiaosheng awaiting Ye Qiyan's response saw that single "Oh" and veins bulged on his forehead. Frantically typing a torrent of messages, he found the send button grayed out.

"He blocked me?! HOW DARE HE BLOCK ME!"

Li Xiaosheng's face turned crimson, resembling an overinflated clown head about to burst.

As time progressed, more people entered the station without paying Li Xiaosheng's toll. Because his plan had one massive, glaring flaw.

With 20 tracks, blocking entry required occupying all of them continuously. When outsiders paid, an occupying Alliance member had to leave first before allowing the payer in.

But this meant Alliance members kept vacating tracks, and newcomers entering wouldn't obey Li Xiaosheng - coming and going as they pleased. Only some attempting to stay permanently after learning of unlimited docking time prevented total track vacancy.

Many were Alliance members themselves, with no intention of leaving. The Alliance's gains proved minimal.

Li Xiaosheng's expression darkened as he'd invested heavily in upgrading members' wheels for speed. The so-called Alliance was never a solid organization - everyone joined for free materials. When actual cooperation was needed, passive resistance counted as virtue.

Moreover, while he formed the Alliance, others could plot to seize his resources. His constant boasting about wealth made him the juiciest target.

Alliance members' gazes grew increasingly hostile. Helpless, he could only slink away from the station, his failed scheme not even recouping investments in other members.

Time flowed on.

Li Xiaosheng's departure didn't grant free station access. Twenty tracks remained firmly controlled, with outsiders offering resources ignored. Those staying had no plans to leave.

They believed that regardless of conditions, avoiding trains and new stations meant extra survival days.

Zhao Lin, still plagued by misfortune, remained among those locked out. Clutching the gun purchased from Ye Qiyan like a security blanket, she wailed:

"Survived inside stations just to die outside? Ugh...why am I so unlucky?"

Outside the train, monster sounds echoed through dark wilderness. Zhao Lin curled into a corner, covering her ears in ostrich logic - if she couldn't hear them, monsters didn't exist.

[24:00:00]

Eerie chimes suddenly rang. All monsters surrounding the station scattered as if terrified.

Zhao Lin looked up bewildered. Through the window, the massive station ahead was being enveloped by black sludge. Moonlight revealed it seemed...alive.

Inside the station, the unmasked Smiling Mask slowly nibbled White Forest Fruit gifted by Ye Qiyan.

Standing high above, he coldly observed the twenty lingering people below.

"Fools. Pathetic...heh. The weak aren't even worthy of curses."

"Stay forever? Unlimited time? This world has no pause button."

Black sludge whirlpools materialized beneath them. They screamed, scrambling to escape, but even their trains were being devoured.

"Help! Someone help!"

Horrified shrieks pierced the night sky.

Smiling Mask took another small bite of White Forest Fruit.

"So delicious..."
