Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!

"It's time to leave this Station World."

Five days after obtaining the Disaster Card.

Outside the Eternal City.

When Lancelot led the Wuzhong to bring the fourth Night Well to Ye Qiyan's side and completed the recovery operation.

Ye Qiyan, who had been sitting within The Hunt's red and white Cloud Pattern Barrier, enjoying a leisurely afternoon, opened his eyes.

"We recovered a few more wells, but unfortunately, they're all too low in level. That Level 9 well was the only one of its kind."

Recovering those few new wells had only netted him a little over six hundred Train Coins.

Because materials broken down from Level 8 wells could only produce Level 7 items at most.

Level 7 and Level 8 — that was the dividing line between high-grade and ordinary.

Some wells were even straight-up Level 7.

After recovery, they were worth even less.

But counting that initial Level 9 well, the total haul from the Night People settlements came to eleven hundred Train Coins.

Adding Fang Cheng's twenty-five hundred.

And the thirty-three hundred he'd swindled from Resource Sir.

Now, the total number of Train Coins in Ye Qiyan's possession had reached a milestone — six thousand nine hundred.

He was only three thousand one hundred short of his self-imposed goal of ten thousand.

If his luck at the next station was as good as it had been here, he should be able to scrape it together.

"Speaking of which, Fang Cheng should be departing today too."

Ye Qiyan took off his sunglasses. Lisette, who was mixing juice beside him, nodded.

"Mm, and... ten minutes."

"Ah, geez. Top-Tier Train Conductors really are something else. That entire city was actually his whole train — every carriage combined and expanded using a special Module. Tsk, tsk. My train is still way too small."

"Master's... is the best."

Lisette handed him the juice, gently expressing the most genuine thoughts in her heart.

"Mm, but one day, it's going to be even bigger than theirs."

"Mm! Master! Will definitely be the biggest!"

"Cough..."

Ye Qiyan cleared his throat, took a sip of juice, and climbed onto the train's roof.

From here, he had a perfect view of the full panorama of the Eternal City on the distant plain.

Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

Rumble rumble rumble!

The earth shook and the mountains swayed.

The sun, hanging high in the sky, cast its light upon this Eternal Night world for the very last time.

【TOOOOOOT!!!】

The steam whistle, silent for a thousand years, also sounded today.

The Eternal City began to transform.

The space within gradually compressed.

The people living there prayed, blessed, and waited to journey to the eternal land their King had once promised them.

That place.

Was the Wasteland.

A black track, pitifully small compared to the city, stretched straight ahead!

But when that city completely transformed into a giant train.

Its wheels connected to the tracks.

Fang Cheng's Dynamic Train Skins surged and shifted.

A Knight bearing a sun on his helm raised a holy sword high.

"Eternal King's Glory! Depart!"

The massive broadcast echoed between heaven and earth.

Thump thump thump! Thump thump thump!

Fang Cheng.

A Top-Tier Train Conductor who had been trapped here for a thousand years, once belonging to the Heavenly Organization.

Had finally.

Found his path forward.

【Beep beep——】

Ye Qiyan watched it all. On the System's Light Screen was the final message Fang Cheng had sent him.

【"Mr. Ye, please accept this. This is... my oath."】

An item was retrieved from the mail.

【Eternal Oath of the Lord of Chalk】

【Oath: Will give everything for Ye Qiyan — life, death, soul, all of it — without a single complaint. Only asks for revenge on behalf of the Heavenly Organization.】

Ye Qiyan looked at the badge in his hand, a sun and a knight intertwined, and smiled faintly.

"An avenger, huh. I'm not exactly a good person, but... I do kinda like the Heavenly Organization as an organization. So then..."

【"Wishing you success"】

After Fang Cheng left.

This world no longer had a sun hanging in the sky.

It would be plunged into eternal night forevermore.

"I should get going too."

Ye Qiyan jumped down from the train.

Lancelot and the others had already returned to the Armament Hangar.

Just as he was about to enter the train door.

On the rooftop, Eve's Targeting Ring suddenly flickered into existence in the distance.

Ye Qiyan glanced in that direction, saw who it was, and shook his head.

"It's him."

He raised his hand.

The Hunt exited Guard Mode and coiled back around his arm.

"Yeah, forget it. Can't be bothered to put on a show anymore."

He entered the train, ready to depart.

And the person who had been locked onto finally ran over frantically just as the train was about to pull away.

"Huff, huff... Bro Ye! Bro Ye!"

The person.

Was Charlie.

Ye Qiyan stood by the window and calmly looked at him.

A few days ago, he had sent out his mech-soldiers using the coordinates of several nearby Night People settlements that Fang Cheng had provided, recovering those lower-level Night Wells.

On the way, he had also found this boy.

That he was still alive — Ye Qiyan had known that all along.

But the connection between them had already ended the moment he left that settlement, leaving the Nano-Bee Swarm to keep him breathing.

The train didn't stop.

Ye Qiyan didn't wait for Charlie either.

"Bro Ye! It was you! You saved me, right?!"

The void manifested.

The train advanced.

"I... I don't understand why you helped those people, but..."

Charlie took a deep breath. For some reason, his face — so bizarre because he was a Night Person — suddenly became no different from an ordinary human's.

"Thank you!"

The train.

Departed the station.

Rumble rumble rumble...

In this world that no longer had a sun.

Charlie stood in the icy rain, watching the tracks left behind by the departing train. He climbed to a high point and looked toward what had once been the Eternal City.

Did this world belong to them again now?

Did it belong to the Night People again?

Next would come the birth of a new Lord of Night, restoring things to how they were a thousand years ago.

Then, following the ancient texts, the King would ascend to become the god worshipped by the Night People.

But...

Charlie's heart was filled with confusion.

He felt...

It shouldn't be like this.

【Ding——】

【Race: Night Person / Human】

【Name: Charlie】

【You are now qualified to become the Station Lord of this Station World】

【This world will be downgraded to Level 8】

【Do you accept the quest 【The New Long Night】】

【This world has undergone System intervention. For the next one hundred years, no interference — from Train Conductors, Divinity, or any other source — will occur. It may develop freely until it is re-ascended.】

【Countdown to decision: 10...9...8...】

Charlie looked at the Light Screen that had suddenly appeared before him, and understanding dawned in his heart.

He looked at the water's surface beside him. Though it was blurry, for the first time in his life, he could clearly see his own face.

It was... a bizarre face.

So that was it...

Charlie understood everything.

"I accept."

He looked up at the sky.

Tears welled in his eyes.

"Bro Ye... is this also your help to me?"

"By taking the wells away, you made it so that newborn infants would no longer be sliced apart and reforged just because they weren't strong enough."

"I understand. From today onward, I will make the Night People understand the weight of life!"

"Bro Ye! I will lead the Night People to become true humans!"
