Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!

"Traveler?"

Upon hearing Ye Qiyan's words, the merchant caravan leader sized him and Lisette up and down.

After not finding any weapons on Ye Qiyan's person, the tense atmosphere gradually dissipated somewhat.

However, Ye Qiyan and Lisette's overly intact and clean clothing still made him suspicious.

"Friend, for the past few months, the desert hasn't just had divine punishment from the gods, those desert bandits have also been looting everywhere. At this time, you say you're a traveler? I..."

Before the caravan leader could finish his sentence.

A guard frantically rode over on a camel from the distance.

"B-Boss! It's bad, it's bad! Those desert bandits have caught up!"

Hearing the words 'desert bandits', the entire caravan immediately fell into panic.

Not caring about anything else, the caravan leader jumped onto the camel's back, wanting to flee immediately.

But just at that moment, a large group of bandits riding warhorses, cresting over the sand dunes, came roaring over.

The equipment they carried wasn't ordinary, wind and sand accompanied their warhorses, allowing them to catch up in the blink of an eye.

"Old man, where do you think you're running to? Hahaha! Mages, trap them for me!"

Several mages holding staffs chanted incantations from the rear, and towering sand walls rose from the ground, blocking the caravan's path.

"Stop for me!"

The leader among the desert bandits leaped up with a sinister laugh, holding a scimitar, managing to land in front of the caravan with a single great leap.

Boom——!

With a loud roar, wind and sand swirled around the desert bandit leader's body, his gaze towards the caravan leader brimming with madness.

Desert bandits? This guy's abilities are probably stronger than most low-level Train Conductors.

"Kneel for me, I won't kill you. After going back, obediently become slaves. With all your limbs intact, you can still fetch a good price."

"Hmm?"

The desert bandit leader suddenly noticed Ye Qiyan and Lisette leaning against the side of the Road Tyrant, the madness in his eyes instantly replaced by greed.

"There are women too? And pretty women at that. And this man, he's a pretty man too, hahahaha! Hey, you two, don't resist. These looks sold off are worth much more than ordinary people."

Pretty, man?

Ye Qiyan raised an eyebrow.

Using that kind of adjective to describe him?

This is really...

He chuckled softly, raised his hand, and brought it down.

"Leave none alive."

His voice wasn't loud, but the desert bandit heard it clearly.

"Leave none alive? Hahahaha! That won't do, I still need to sell you..."

Whoosh——

Squelch——

[Chrono-Mechanical Armament]

The spikes on Lisette's back materialized, differentiating into the Hour, Minute, and Second armaments.

The Minute Hand Skull-Piercing Thrust appeared above the head of the still maniacal desert bandit leader.

He realized something was wrong and wanted to dodge.

But the Skull-Piercing Thrust followed him relentlessly, and when it descended, it pierced through his crown.

"What?! The Third Boss is dead?! Damn it, avenge the Third Boss!"

With their leader dead, the remaining bandits didn't collapse; instead, they charged forward.

Those mages continued chanting spells, yellow sand transforming into three-meter-tall giants, swinging their fists towards Ye Qiyan.

They seemed strong.

Too bad~ they ran into Ye Qiyan.

The floating arrows continuously differentiated from the Second Hand shredded the bodies of the sand giants, flew into the bandit crowd, and began the slaughter.

Death is terrifying.

When the people in front died, the ones behind wanted to flee.

When the last fleeing mage collapsed on the ground, scrambling backward.

"Spare me, spare me! Ah!"

The Skull-Piercing Thrust pierced his heart.

This stretch of desert actually fell into a brief silence.

Whoosh~

A gale howled.

Lisette gave Ye Qiyan an elegant slight bow.

"Good work, Lisette."

"~~"

The Chrono-Mechanical Armament returned to the [Thrust] state. Ye Qiyan looked at the caravan members huddled together, their faces filled with shock, and smiled slightly.

"Now, can you tell me where the nearest city is?"

[Click]

That was the sound of a camera shutter.

Lisette took the first photo at this stop.

The caravan leader got up from the ground, his body hunched over, appearing very restrained and fearful.

He forced a very stiff smile onto his face.

"G-Great One... Of course, of course. Our destination is the nearest city, its location is..."

He informed Ye Qiyan of the city's direction and even took out the caravan's only map, presenting it with both hands.

"This map has most of the cities and tribal settlements in the Sand Sea. Please accept it, Great One. It's just..."

Ye Qiyan didn't take it, waiting for the caravan leader to continue.

"It's just... Could we possibly ask you to travel with us? Once we reach the next city, our boss will surely offer generous thanks!"

That's more like it.

People always have their needs. What Ye Qiyan wanted was to follow this caravan and obtain basic information about this world from these people's mouths.

Since they proposed it themselves, and he might even earn something, why not?

"Alright then, let's get along~"

Before the caravan set off, Ye Qiyan took the desert bandit leader's scimitar.

The level wasn't high, just a Level 6 item.

But...

They were just desert bandits. From the caravan leader's words, it wasn't hard to deduce that in this desert, the strength of that bandit squad just now was still only of a low-level type.

The caravan's original elite guards had been held back by even stronger desert bandits and had no news until now, probably already dead there.

Night fell, gradually turning cold.

Ye Qiyan didn't stay within the caravan. Timing it to the evening [23:59], he released the Train from the Matrix.

After the next day's zero hour, he stored it back into the Matrix. By then, another presence was by his side~

Eve was brought out of the Train by Ye Qiyan.

Not only that.

The faint golden lightning hidden high in the sky was the Sky-Resonant Thunder Eagle he had also brought out.

Even on the distant sand dunes, the Demon Ravens, blending into the night, were also watching this place.

Returning to the caravan, Ye Qiyan sat by the campfire, eating the roast lamb Lisette had prepared, paired with the ice-cold beer he had just conveniently taken from the Train, serving as a late-night snack.

The strong winds around them persisted; tomorrow's weather hadn't changed.

He simply used the Storm Eye Stone to create an even larger storm near the caravan camp, leaving only the camp as the storm's eye, no longer troubled by the strong winds.

Through the Illusory Surveillant's Light Screen, Ye Qiyan looked at the Sand Table stored in the Matrix's carriage and pondered slightly.

It wasn't that his destination was opposite to the coordinates.

In fact, there were no light points on the Sand Table.

It wasn't that the Sand Table was ineffective, but the location where the initial red light point had been was precisely where he had discovered the Nefeti remains.

That skeleton had been collected by Ye Qiyan into the Train, so the light point naturally disappeared.

"Nirvana rebirth, huh..."

He murmured in his heart, raised his eyes, and looked towards the caravan leader walking towards him from not far away, still extremely restrained.

"Great One... Perhaps it's better if this humble one keeps watch tonight..."

Ye Qiyan picked up the wild rabbit roasting on the campfire and blew on it.

"Just not sleepy, that's all. By the way, during the day you said this desert is called Matmu? Translated from the ancient language, it means death. Well, have you heard the name Nefeti?"
