Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!

Chapter 749: The Man in the Outpost Observation Post

“Can this world really still be saved?”

“God, save us!”

“Don’t bother praying. We… have long been abandoned by the gods…”

【Level 9 Station World · The Black-Death Stagnant Wind】

In this world, countless bones lay buried beneath the desert wasteland.

Humans could only survive by relying on the shelters built underground by their predecessors, barely clinging to life.

Morudo, Fourth Shelter.

This place had once been a bustling city.

But now, the surface stood completely empty of people.

He was fairly satisfied with this job.

Even if, ever since entering this outpost, there had been no entertainment whatsoever, apart from the unchanging scenery.

If it weren’t for the supplies delivered by the shelter people every month, he wouldn’t even have anyone to talk to.

But he had gotten used to it.

After all, it was still better than being outside, getting killed by those plague-infected, moving skeletons.

However, the delivery time for supplies had already passed by nearly a week.

His backup supplies were almost gone. If no one came to deliver soon, he would have no choice but to risk the danger and return to the shelter to check the situation.

“November twenty-third. Outside is as usual. The number of skeletons hasn’t decreased. After that icy rain, the outdoor temperature dropped to thirty-three degrees, relatively cool. Northwest wind, three to four… uh, what is that?”

Wang Hao, recording by voice, squinted his eyes and carefully peered through the electronic observation port at the distant scene of dust rising.

And as the dust drew closer,

He could also make it out.

That… seemed to be a train?

Yes, it must be a train! And one from another world!

Why did Wang Hao know this?

Because, in another shelter long ago, he had joined an expedition team and discovered traces of a train in an abandoned city.

There were people on that train. Even more incredibly, tracks automatically appeared ahead of it for it to travel on without needing to be laid.

And that had been thirty-five years ago.

They had once thought to ask for help from the person on that train, but they received only cold indifference.

That person did go to the shelter.

But after entering, he slaughtered everyone in the entire shelter and took something from within.

Wang Hao didn’t know if he was lucky, or if that person simply hadn’t cared about his existence, but he had managed to survive.

He was one of the few survivors from that shelter.

From then on, he often dreamed of the train at night, dreaming of the person sitting inside, staring at him with eyes that didn’t look at humans, but rather seemed to be looking at a group of pigs or tools.

“Tr-train! A train spotted!!”

Wang Hao was terrified.

He frantically tried to contact the shelter through remote communication.

But he had forgotten that the phone lines had been accidentally cut by the skeleton monsters over a month ago, and still hadn’t been repaired.

“Damn it, dammit!”

His teeth were chattering.

Fear made Wang Hao’s entire body tremble violently.

“No, no way. Absolutely, absolutely can’t let this strange train discover the shelter’s location!”

He forced himself to overcome his fear and put on the plague protection suit.

Then, carefully, he took out a talisman covered in strange symbols from the drawer and stuck it on the inside of his protective suit.

Finally, for the first time in a long while, he opened the outpost’s door, intending to walk to the shelter and deliver the warning.

But it seemed that, in his fear, he had also forgotten one thing.

How could an ordinary person,

Outrun a train?

A red targeting ring slowly materialized beneath his feet.

Inside the train, Ye Qiyan sat in the locomotive section, looking through the train window at the figure in the yellow protective suit.

“A human? Damn, after driving for so many days, I finally run into a living person.”

He had been traveling north from that dilapidated town for a full six days. The number of skeletons he had encountered along the way was even greater than the usual chasing monsters in the Wasteland.

So, he had simply placed the Pure Cleansing Stone with Eve for safekeeping, letting her continuously emit its light.

The number of skeletons eliminated along the way was so vast that Eve, who normally loved to keep count, no longer wanted to record them.

After all, killing these low-level skeletons, even weaker than ordinary humans, held no real meaning.

“Tsk tsk, hope it’s not a skeleton wearing a protective suit.”

He changed direction, the tracks bending.

Ye Qiyan’s train, at its normal speed, headed toward the figure.

But surprisingly, after realizing he was being targeted, the figure ran into the ruins of a nearby tall building and hid.

“Uh… looks like I scared him? Forget it, I’ll just head straight to that red dot’s location.”

Since the man had hidden, Ye Qiyan didn’t bother going after him.

He had only approached out of curiosity about the living humans in this world.

The train changed direction once again.

Upon seeing this, Wang Hao, who was hiding inside the high-rise building, pupils constricted.

“Th-that direction! That person, that person’s target is the shelter! No, no way! Absolutely can’t let him get there!”

He stumbled as he ran outside.

His two feet felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, yet he still wanted to make one final desperate struggle.

“Hey! Hey! I’m over here! Hey, train over there!”

The protective suit muffled his voice.

Wang Hao gritted his teeth and simply ripped off the protective suit.

The air, mixed with the dust of ashes, entered his nostrils. Yet, it was far better than the air in the outpost, which was filtered through garbage.

This was the first time in decades he had breathed the outside air.

It really did feel… free…

“Hey! I’m over here!!!”

The red ring grew increasingly distinct.

On the train roof, Eve glanced coldly in this direction.

A weapon slot silently opened.

The pitch-black gun muzzle, even from a great distance, made Wang Hao feel a bone-chilling killing intent.

His voice got stuck in his throat, unable to come out.

But he was very lucky.

Just as Eve was about to fire,

Ye Qiyan, who was about to eat his lunch, put down the fries in his hand and looked over in this direction.

“Hm? He hid when he saw my train, and now he suddenly shows himself? What a weird guy. Alright, Eve, that guy’s not a threat.”

The gun muzzle retracted.

The train didn’t change direction, only gradually slowed down and stopped.

Ye Qiyan took a box of fries, climbed to the roof, revealed a “friendly” smile, and waved in that person’s direction.

“Eve, do you think this guy will dare to come over?”

Eve glanced at Lisette, who was making hamburger patties below the train, then in one swift move, she leaned close to her master and hugged his arm.

Immediately, the rabbit ears on top of her head turned into a large X.

“You might be wrong this time.”

Ye Qiyan pinched Eve’s cheek and put a fry into her mouth.

Because, at that very moment, the man who had taken off his protective suit was walking toward Ye Qiyan’s train with resolute steps.
