Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!

Opening his friends list and looking at the few names within, Ye Qiyan hesitated for a moment before opening Zhao Lin's private chat interface.

If he remembered correctly.

Zhao Lin's previous station had been the Misfortune Station.

And she was relatively fragile to begin with. If that streak of bad luck hadn't completely ended and she carried it through to the end, wouldn't this unlucky thing completely sink into her dreams and never wake up?

But just as he was about to tap the light screen, his finger suddenly stopped mid-air.

If this was truly a dream, his actions would be meaningless anyway. Moreover, if she really had sunk into it, that was Zhao Lin's own choice.

Why should he interfere so much?

Shaking his head, he closed the private chat.

People can't always rely on others. If she couldn't survive this time, that was just Zhao Lin's own bad luck.

The pocket watch's hands pointed to this exact moment.

After eating breakfast and washing up, Ye Qiyan spent some time exercising in the train carriage.

He took out that Suoluo City invitation card and gently rubbed it.

Swiping across the train's light screen.

The light screen split open, and the Crossroads of Fate appeared at this moment.

[Using Suoluo City invitation card, your thirteenth station has been changed to Suoluo City]

[Crossroads of Fate triggered. Please enter Suoluo City through one of the following two entry points]

[1, Suoluo City Main Gate]

[2, Abandoned Peace Plaza]

[Please choose.]

"I choose 1"

Ye Qiyan didn't hesitate. Although option 2 seemed more special, when arriving at an unfamiliar place, especially someone else's territory, if he entered through the second option and got caught, it would be troublesome.

Playing it safe and entering through the main gate couldn't be wrong.

[Selection complete.]

Nothingness manifested.

Passing through it.

A majestic floating city came into view.

Above this city connected numerous chains, and upon these chains stood stone pillars of various shapes and forms.

Ye Qiyan didn't know what these were, but the moment he entered Suoluo City's range.

The same feeling he experienced at City of a Thousand Stars appeared once again.

"Want to stay" "Don't want to continue adventuring" "People live for stability, I should abandon the train."

Becoming cautious, that brainwashing-like ability gradually faded away.

Ye Qiyan entered Suoluo City with a wary mindset.

The method of storing trains here was similar to Thousand Stars Gate.

Both used tunnel capsules to store trains, requiring payment for at least 3 days.

"Welcome to Suoluo City, dear Train Conductor. Might you need a little assistance?"

Exiting the station, Ye Qiyan didn't know what he should do.

Before he could take more than a few steps, a somewhat sharp voice sounded beside him.

Looking down, a short-statured man stood cautiously bowing to the side, as if afraid Ye Qiyan might slap him to death.

"Are you a guide?"

"Yes, for just one hundred Suoluo coins, I will take you anywhere you wish to go."

"Take me to exchange money."

"As you command."

Transaction Hall, the same procedure as in City of a Thousand Stars. He didn't exchange too much, just 2000 coins of this city's currency.

Hesitating for a moment, he still contacted that charlatan woman Zhu Xingshu.

Although that woman said no gathering was needed, he felt it would be better to inform her.

Besides, he still wanted to know - what was the situation with the Dream Eaters?

["I've arrived at Suoluo City. If you need me to do anything, I'll do my best."]

Zhu Xingshu opened her eyes, the endless stars in her pupils gradually fading.

She looked at the chat content on the system light screen and smiled slightly.

["No need to do anything, or rather, do whatever you want, hehe~ Just play there for a couple of days~"]

Still this kind of response?

Ye Qiyan wasn't particularly surprised though.

["Alright, I have one more thing - do you know about Dream Eaters?"]

"Dream Eaters~"

Zhu Xingshu softly recited this name.

["Hmm, what about them? You encountered them? That's really lucky. Many people desperately search for their traces hoping to sink into the dreams woven by Dream Eaters but can't find them."]

["So what if it does? Sinking into beautiful dreams and gradually going mad or dying is, for many people, actually a form of liberation. Little Brother Ye, the vast majority of people in this world don't have the courage or ability to get off at every station, explore, and survive."]

Zhu Xingshu's words made Ye Qiyan think of that Kimura Yuujin he met back at City of a Thousand Stars and those "Drifters" who chose to abandon their identities and remain there.

Perhaps what she said was right?

Living or sinking into beautiful dreams.

For some people, it's just a fifty-fifty choice question.

["What does it mean that they're wasteland lifeforms? Are they different from those monsters that chase trains?"]

["Of course they're different. They are the true indigenous creatures of the wasteland. We Train Conductors are the outsiders. Well, don't ask too many questions. Anyway, you woke up, didn't you? Next, rest well. Although Suoluo City isn't as prosperous as City of a Thousand Stars, you can still experience some fun things here, hehe~"]

The conversation ended.

Ye Qiyan walked out of the Transaction Hall.

That short guide had been waiting outside the entire time.

Taking out one hundred coins from the exchanged currency, he handed them over.

"Thank you, sir. My name is Swiftfoot. Where would you like to go, sir?"

"Anywhere, you recommend."

Since he's already here and there's nothing for him to do, he might as well simply enjoy himself for a few days.

Originally, this was indeed his intention.

Suoluo City's entertainment facilities weren't as prosperous as City of a Thousand Stars, but this was only a comparative difference.

Led by Swiftfoot to the entrance of a restaurant specifically for Train Conductors.

"Sir, please have mercy, give us some food."

"Big brother, give us some money."

Swiftfoot disgustedly blocked in front of Ye Qiyan and kicked one child away.

"Scram, scram! Who told you to block the Train Conductor's path? Get lost quickly! This way, sir."

The restaurant's security ran out and chased these children away with clubs.

Ye Qiyan frowned, not liking this scene.

Even though those children didn't appear to be human.

"Who are they?"

"Just a bunch of corrupted little monsters. Don't worry, sir, they'll disappear soon."

Swiftfoot smiled obsequiously at him.

This flattery wasn't directed at Ye Qiyan personally, but at the identity of Train Conductor.

Watching the retreating backs of those monster children until they completely disappeared.

"What is corruption? Aren't they human?"

Swiftfoot scratched his head and answered as if it were obvious:

"This humble one doesn't know the specifics either. It's just that since Suoluo City's founding, there have always been some babies who turn out like this. They say it's because us natives who aren't Train Conductors are born cursed. So if someone gives birth to such a child, they either abandon or kill it immediately. Everyone calls this phenomenon corruption. We're already used to it."
