Doomsday Train, I went crazy by hoarding billions of items.

Chapter 46 Surrender?

Jiang Ran has always preferred to take the initiative, so she chose to take the initiative.

Because she was worried that Guiyu might change its ID and run away, she tried to add Guiyu as a friend using Xiaotuoluo's account.

But it was too late.

The player you searched for does not exist!

Jiang Ran clicked her tongue softly: Coward!

It runs very fast.

But she was mentally prepared for this result, so she wasn't too disappointed.

Unless Guiyu completely abandons the Holy Land Guild he painstakingly built, Jiang Ran will always find a way to locate him.

But the opportunity came much faster than Jiang Ran had expected.

*
After the Anti-Young Lady Alliance was dealt with, there was much less discussion about the black-stockinged young lady in the group chat, perhaps because everyone was afraid of being "called out".

And the convoys that Jiang Ran remembered finally set off.

Initially, someone excitedly mentioned in the group chat that the car found in the village even had a built-in navigation system.

Although it only displays a radius of 20 to 30 kilometers, it's already quite impressive. The only problem is the thick snow on the road, making driving very difficult.

Some people were quite optimistic, saying, "If the car can reach other villages, can't everyone unite to fight off the cold together?"

After all, having experienced the first instance, everyone was mentally prepared for the gradual drop in temperature in the Snow Country instance.

Compared to scorching heat, most people prefer to huddle together for warmth in extremely cold environments.

However, this person's naive remarks still drew ridicule from many people, both openly and subtly.

"What are you thinking? Do you think that if a convoy with cars and weapons really comes to your village, the first thing they'll do is do charity and distribute supplies, or they'll rob you?"

"Having a car doesn't necessarily mean having weapons. Besides, we're all just ordinary people, why fight to the death? Isn't it better to work together to survive?"

"Don't make a fool of yourself. When resources are plentiful, everyone benefits. Right now, it's obvious that resources are insufficient. Who's going to play house with you and act out some inspirational movie?"

"Has no one noticed that the drop rate of chests has decreased these past two days? I used to be able to dig up at least four or five chests a day, but these past two days I've only opened three in total, including only one silver chest and two wooden chests."

"Me too. I thought we could barely survive by digging for food every day, but now we haven't found any food all day. Are they trying to drive us to our deaths?"

"I'm a bit of a conspiracy theorist. If the drop rate of boxes decreases, it will inevitably lead to competition for resources. And to discover a car navigation system at this time doesn't feel like a good thing."

……

The topic gradually veered off course, but Jiang Ran only glanced at it twice and said nothing.

The real chaos begins when the car navigation system tells everyone that the villages aren't actually that far apart as they thought.

But as someone mentioned earlier, once resources become scarce, various forms of infighting are inevitable in order to survive.

The only difference is that some people are not lacking in resources but are ambitious, while others will do anything to survive.

Just as the group chat became lively again, discussing the changes in the situation and possible directions in the dungeon after the car was discovered, an unfamiliar ID requested to add the Black Silk Lady as a friend.

[Player "Ayan Wants to Be Happy" has requested to add you as a friend. Note: Ayang, it's me. I know news about the Ghost Realm.]

Jiang Ran was sitting on the sofa browsing the exchange to see if there was anything she wanted, while waiting for Xiao Bai to feed her lunch.

Seeing this friend request stirred something within me. Could it be "Yan Yan"?

But judging from her tone, she seems to know Lin Yang quite well.

So, was she trying to test whether the black-stockinged young lady was the real Lin Yang, or had she broken up with the Ghost Domain?

Jiang Ran didn't rush to accept the friend request, but continued to browse the exchange.

Although she didn't know what this person's purpose was, since Jiang Ran wasn't in a hurry, she decided to let her wait patiently.

*
Zhao Yan, kneeling beside the sofa, was nervously checking whether her friend request had been accepted.

Zhang Cheng, standing to the side, stared at her with a sinister look in his eyes.

Zhao Yan's expression was tense, yet she still tried to please Zhang Cheng. Only her frequent glances at her friend's messages revealed her slight anxiety.

Seeing this, Zhang Cheng guessed that Lin Yang hadn't replied to the message, and sneered, "Looks like you're not that important to Lin Yang. Well, with his current abilities, why would he even look at you?"

Zhao Yan knew that Zhang Cheng was unhappy about losing the battle, so she naturally didn't dare to provoke him. However, she felt a bit sarcastic: Zhang Cheng was quite proud of himself when he thought Lin Yang still cared about her.

But he couldn't help but think to himself: When did Lin Yang, that good-for-nothing, become so powerful? So many people have gone there and no one can do anything about him!

However, this wasn't entirely without its advantages. The more powerful Lin Yang was, the more he valued her, and the more Zhang Cheng would be wary of her, making it harder for him to arbitrarily attack her.

I've sent my friend request so long ago, why hasn't Lin Yang accepted it yet?!
If Lin Yang ignores her, she's afraid that Zhang Cheng, that pervert, will beat her to death!

The thought of Lin Yang's current strength filled Zhao Yan with regret.

—If I had known this would happen, I should have contacted him immediately!

Unfortunately, one wrong step led to another. He thought that following Zhang Cheng, a fellow beta tester and a former rich second-generation client, would be much safer than following the arrogant and brainless Lin Yang.

Who would have thought that Lin Yang, who was thought to have died young, is still arrogantly and cocky, even taking on the Holy Land Guild by himself without fear!

Zhang Cheng, that idiot, likes to hit people whether he's angry or happy!

In particular, after each beating, he would soothe Zhao Yan by giving her some supplies and food, treating her like a pet.

Zhao Yan didn't want to be Zhang Cheng's dog, but she couldn't leave directly—all the clothes Zhang Cheng had prepared for her were revealing summer outfits.

Without warm clothes, she couldn't even leave the village.

Zhao Yan gritted her teeth; if only she had enough health points to use her skill again…

Actually, Zhang Cheng was quite smart. He landed in a large village where about fifty players had gathered.

He first used resources and weapons he brought from reality into the game to coerce and entice a small group of nearly twenty people, and then occupied the best house in the village.

With power in hand, the remaining people are no longer a problem.

In the end, those who refused to join either fled the village or simply disappeared.

The entire village became Zhang Cheng's personal fiefdom.

Every day, someone is in charge of supervision, and someone else is in charge of doing the hard work of digging for chests. Zhang Cheng only needs to give them some insignificant supplies through a combination of kindness and severity, and they can stay peacefully until the dungeon ends.

The turning point came the day he discovered the off-road vehicle.
