Oh shit!

Fang Xiang glanced sideways at the carriage next to him as he ran forward desperately.

The door to carriage number six is ​​just ahead. The attendant for carriage number six is ​​a middle-aged woman named Suo Qingqiu.

Suo Qingqiu was quick-witted; she headed towards carriage number six as soon as the train stopped, so she had already entered the carriage by then.

Fang Xiang looked at the carriage door in front of him and gritted his teeth.

If he was certain he wouldn't make it in time, then the door to carriage number six would be his last chance.

All the carriages are connected, so he could easily board from carriage six first, and then walk through carriage six to carriage seven.

However, the rules of the instance also state that if two players are in the same carriage, one of them will be randomly eliminated.

If he jumps onto carriage number six, one of him and Suo Qingqiu will definitely die.

However, if he doesn't jump on, there's a very high chance he'll miss the departure time. If he doesn't get on the bus, the main mission will fail, and he'll die on the spot.

At this moment, the train had begun to move slightly. Fang Xiang knew that he could not catch up, so he stared intently at the approaching carriage number six.

Staying here means certain death.

Jumping onto box number six only carries a 50% chance of death, but Suo Qingqiu, who is on box number six, might suffer an undeserved misfortune.

"What should I do!" He ran forward quickly while staring at the door of carriage number six, which was almost in front of him.

Jump up... jump up...

Fang Xiang struggled internally; this was more than just a game.

Even though they won't die in the dungeon, the game is still closely connected to their lives in the real world.

Each time you die in a dungeon, you will randomly drop items. In this world where resources are gradually becoming scarce, losing these items is definitely not a good thing.

Although it might endanger others, I can't worry about that now. I should worry about myself first... As the saying goes, "Better to die for others than for myself." At least if I jump up there, I'll have a chance to survive!
Having made up his mind, Fang wanted to continue running towards the door.

He had already approached the door of carriage number six, so he turned his head to check the situation inside in advance. If Suo Qingqiu was blocking him at the door, he would have no choice but to wait here to die.

A resolute glint flashed in Fang Xiang's eyes as he thought of this. If he were really blocked outside, he would do anything to rush up.

His hands were clenched into fists, ready to strike at any moment.

However, Fang Xiang froze the moment his gaze fell upon carriage number six.

Suo Qingqiu was indeed standing at the door, but she didn't seem to be on guard at all.

Fang Xiang saw that she looked at him with anxiety and great concern on her face, and her mouth was opening and closing as she said something.

He heard it: "Run! Run!"

Seeing Suo Qingqiu's worried expression, Fang Xiang's legs felt like they were filled with lead, and he couldn't move an inch further towards carriage number six.

Gu Mian saw from afar that the train attendant in carriage number seven suddenly went awry halfway through the journey, then suddenly stopped, and only at the very end did she seem to come to her senses, running towards the last carriage like a mad rabbit.

Gu Mian watched Fang Xiang's figure gradually disappear: "This person is really strange."

The train had already started moving slowly, as if it were about to accelerate and leave at any moment.

Then Han Shan's voice suddenly came from the side: "He just tried to jump onto carriage number six."

Gu Mian was startled by the sudden sound. He looked in the direction from which the sound came and saw Han Shan standing not far from him.

Gu Mian is the train attendant in carriage number four.

Hanshan is the train attendant in carriage number three.

The two men's carriages were next to each other, so they could naturally communicate across the "38th parallel".

As long as we don't cross the line, we can still be good friends.

Gu Mian looked at the line not far from the foot of Hanshan Mountain: "Stay away from this side. What if you accidentally trip and fall over here?"

Han Shan pinched his forehead: "No way..."

The train was already humming, and at the same time, the door in front of Gu Mian slammed shut, cutting off his view. Not knowing if Fang Xiang had boarded in the end, Gu Mian looked away.

Just then, he suddenly heard a sound coming from above.

It sounded like a hissing electrical current. Gu Mian and Han Shan looked up and saw a speaker overhead, emitting mechanical sounds.

"The train has started moving. All crew members, please return to the dining car to check the supplies."

"The train has started moving..."

He repeated these words three times before stopping. Gu Mian subconsciously looked at the counter not far in front of her, which should be the restaurant counter.

However, this counter does not belong to him, but to Hanshan in carriage number three.

The dining room in carriage number four is at the back; to get there, you have to walk through the middle of the carriage.

After getting into the car, Gu Mian stood at the door without having a chance to see what was inside.

After hearing the announcement, Gu Mian glanced at Han Shan, said nothing, and then turned and walked towards the passenger area.

When Gu Mian walked into the passenger area, she found that quite a few people were already sitting in the carriage, with half of the seats occupied.

That's strange. This is the starting station, so where did these passengers come from?

Gu Mian frowned slightly. These passengers seemed no different from ordinary people. Some were dozing off on the small tables, while others were reading newspapers with a thermos. Everything seemed perfectly normal.

Gu Mian had already hung her work badge around her neck to identify herself.

Gu Mian had never seen a flight attendant wearing a white coat and carrying a large guitar on a train before, so now he also felt that his own attire was very suspicious.

But the passengers seemed completely unconcerned. When Gu Mian passed through the passenger area, some people looked up at him a few times, but then looked away, as if they were not surprised at all by the flight attendant's strange attire.

Strange train, strange passengers.

As Gu Mian pondered this, he walked towards the back of the carriage. He could already see the restaurant counter, and there seemed to be something on it, like a menu.

He walked over quickly and picked up the A4 paper that looked like a menu. As it turned out, the contents of the paper were not quite what he had imagined.

Immediately afterwards, the first line of large characters caught his eye.

Overview of carriage number four of the 'Time Escape' train.

Flight attendant: 1 person

Passengers: 31

Gu Mian then looked down and discovered that there were still restaurant supplies below.

Penguin Orange Juice Soda: 3 bottles

[Ice Factory Fruit Granules: 2 bottles]

【Crunchy Popcorn: 2 buckets】

[Secret Recipe Grilled Meat Burger: 1 serving]

Tomato-flavored potato chips: 3 bags

[A sandwich made entirely of tomatoes: 1 serving]

There aren't many supplies, just this much.

Gu Mian was dumbfounded when she saw the list. So, these flight attendants also had to take on the task of selling things?

That said, the loudspeaker earlier was to tell them to take inventory of the restaurant's supplies.

Seeing this, Gu Mian suddenly remembered something. He recalled that the rules on the back of his work badge included a clause stating that "flight attendants should try their best to fulfill passenger orders."
As he thought about it, he reached for his work badge around his neck.

The rules did indeed include this clause, and there were others as well...

Thank you... thank you to the author who's greedy, lazy, and has kidney deficiency for updating! Ah, it's been so hard for me!
