Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!
Chapter 77: Eleventh Stop: Lost Snow MountainThe chat room remained silent for a long time.
["Agreed. After the next station concludes, I will provide goods equivalent to 30 Train Coins to purchase the Flame Stone. Until then, do not sell it to anyone else."]
["Of course."]
Upgrading was a bottomless pit.
After buying the Flame Stone, the next requirement would be the Calculation Unit.
Ye Qiyan curled the corner of his mouth, looking at Shangguan Yingxue's name as if gazing at a money tree.
Once she reached level 4, he would find the right moment to produce the Calculation Unit.
He didn't believe this woman wouldn't want it.
The train continued forward.
[12:30:00]
The module activated at this exact moment.
The eleventh station was about to arrive.
[Crossroads of Fate triggered. Please choose one of the following two platforms for docking]
[Platform One: Phoenix Wolf Valley (Level 5 Hunting Platform)]
[Platform Two: Bewildered Snow Mountain (Level 6 Mission Platform)]
"I choose platform two."
Ye Qiyan selected the higher-level platform.
Although that would bring more danger.
But.
Now equipped with an abundance of gear and items far surpassing ordinary Train Conductors, why should he be timid and overcautious?
Rather than choosing a safer platform, it was better to push himself a bit more.
[Platform selection complete]
[Please remain seated and hold on tight. The train is now arriving at the eleventh station...]
[Bewildered Snow Mountain]
The final 30-minute countdown gradually reached zero.
As the train's speed began to increase, piercing through the distorted void.
Accompanied by the blast of a steam whistle, the world outside the window had turned completely white.
[Current Platform: Bewildered Snow Mountain]
[Docking Countdown: 09:59:59]
[Good luck]
[This station: High Danger!]
As usual, before disembarking, he took out a Train Coin and placed it on the head of WALL-E, who was circling at his feet.
"Remember to hide if you encounter danger."
WALL-E nodded emotionally, then passed through the small connecting door of the recycling device and sped rapidly across the snow.
After WALL-E left, Ye Qiyan stood by the window surveying his surroundings.
Based on past experience, mission objectives at task platforms usually appeared near where the train docked.
Sure enough, in the distance, a small black dot caught Ye Qiyan's attention.
After observing carefully for a while, it appeared to be a small wooden cabin situated within the wind and snow.
"So that's the place. Quite far though. Wait, how could I forget about that thing?"
The CVO Road Dominator.
He had purchased it from the upgrade options but never found an opportunity to use it until now.
It was finally going to serve its purpose.
"This thing... can it drive in snow, right?"
Teleporting to the last artillery turret carriage, the Road Dominator had been stored here the whole time.
He patted the thick rubber tires, thought for a moment, then bought several thin iron chains from the Trading Platform and wrapped them around the tires to act as snow traction.
"This should work."
Open door, close door.
Fully dressed with his backpack on, Ye Qiyan mounted the Road Dominator and twisted the throttle through the not-too-deep accumulated snow before him.
With a roar, the silver-gray motorcycle cut through the wind and snow, heading straight for the distant cabin.
It took about ten minutes before he finally reached the cabin.
"Good thing I had the bike. Who knows how long it would've taken on foot."
Ye Qiyan patted his somewhat frost-reddened cheeks, pulled out the Pure Cleansing Stone from his pocket, gripped Black Ebony in his other hand, kicked the wooden door open, and a blast of intense wind and snow instantly poured inside.
The cabin was empty but showed signs of previous human habitation.
The furnishings were sparse: a bed, a table, and a fireplace.
On the table sat several cans of unknown expiration date and a diary.
Picking up the diary, Ye Qiyan turned to the first page.
[March 12th, weather: sunny. Today the research team reached the first supply point on the snow mountain. Strange, where did our guide who was supposed to be waiting for us go?]
[March 14th, waited two days, the guide still hasn't returned. Without a guide, we can't continue up the mountain. But everyone prepared so long for this expedition, no one wants to give up. So we decided to ascend on our own. It's fine, with my years of climbing experience, a mere snow mountain is nothing~]
[March 16th, someone got sick. Such bad luck, I actually drew the short stick to stay behind and care for her. Should've picked the other one.]
[March 18th, he... he's dead. I don't know why he died, but!!#!$!]
[March?, haha, hahahaha! Serves him right, serves him right! Now that he's dead I can catch up with the main team. I reached the second supply point. Where is everyone, where is everyone?!]
[Why did I come here again?]
"......"
Ye Qiyan clenched the Pure Cleansing Stone in his hand, took a deep breath, and put down the diary.
This place should be the second supply point mentioned in the diary.
And the diary writer seemed to be nearing madness by March 18th.
By the end, they had completely lost their mind, hence writing such bizarre entries.
But where are they now?
They left the diary behind but disappeared from this place.
Did they encounter monsters, or something else?
What exactly was this station's mission?
Ye Qiyan continued searching the room, finding a photograph in one corner. The moment he picked up the photo, a monster's roar came from outside the cabin.
Rushing out of the wooden cabin, he saw a white-furred yeti that had somehow appeared in the snowstorm.
The yeti's foul-smelling mouth exhaled disgusting rank breath as it swung its fist toward Ye Qiyan's position.
BANG—
A shot hit the monster's forehead, but it continued charging as if completely unfazed.
This wasn't right.
How could a shot from Black Ebony be ineffective?
Right, it wasn't supposed to make sense.
Ye Qiyan felt an intense sense of dissonance.
Suddenly, the Pure Cleansing Stone emitted a soft glow.
Even in this snowy white world, this light still enveloped the surroundings.
After the light faded, the yeti disappeared as if everything had been just an illusion.
But Ye Qiyan knew clearly that it wasn't an illusion.
Moreover, this feeling was somewhat familiar to him.
"Similar to that time with Don Quixote... this photo.."
The photo he had just obtained from the cabin showed exactly the yeti that had suddenly appeared.
"So that's why I felt that sense of dissonance."
In the mental attributes column, Witness Truth and Falsehood was triggering.
The yeti just now wasn't real, but it wasn't fake either.
Rather, the moment Ye Qiyan saw this photo, he believed a yeti existed in this world.
Thus, the yeti appeared outside the cabin.
"So, what exactly is the mission?"
This was the first time he felt so perplexed about a mission platform.
"Hmm?"
One corner of the photo showed signs of being slightly lifted.
Without hesitation, he tore it open forcefully, and from the hidden layer within, a thin slip of paper fell into his hand.
