Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

The Byron Republic is a typical temperate oceanic climate zone. Since there are no four seasons in the Apocalypse World, the temperature difference in Fort Bentham is very small throughout the year, and there is a lot of fog, especially in the early morning, when the fog is often so thick that you can't see your hand in front of you.

It was in such thick fog that the steam train Zhou Ning was riding slowly left Fort Bentham Station.

The straight-line distance from Fort Bentham to Port Temple is about 4500 kilometers, which is not far, but it actually has to cross Mount Noe, which is about 4300 meters above sea level. It is also an area with extreme climates of wind and snow elements. Even with the help of the Earth Goddess, four demigods of the Ring of Earth fell during the construction of this railway.

Zhou Ning felt familiar with the name Mount Noe. After a moment's pause, he remembered that in Genesis, the ancient giants followed the giant king Lindsay Horn to migrate to the northwest and crossed this mountain.

Lindsay Horn, who was at least at the level of an Angel King at the time, spent thirty years migrating from the then-Cifalik Kingdom to the Byron Republic. This shows how difficult the journey was. Now, a mortal can travel from the Byron Republic to the Cifalik Kingdom in just 80 hours, or about three days, by steam train.

In the thick fog, the steam train spiraled upward along the rails, appearing and disappearing from time to time.

Zhou Ning sat in his seat, admiring the vast white world outside the car window. The sound of chattering filled his ears.

It was not until he got on the train that Zhou Ning realized that many of the people riding on this steam train were teachers and students wearing Vic University uniforms. This made Zhou Ning feel a little dazed. Although not much time had passed, his days studying at Vic University seemed like something that happened in his previous life.

If I hadn't entered the extraordinary world, left the Kingdom of Blyston halfway, and accidentally become a god, I would have graduated for more than two years now.

Across from him sat an innocent-looking female student with freckles on her face. It was clear she was very interested in Zhou Ning. Ever since they boarded the steam train, she had been wanting to chat with him.

"Are you from Braxton too?"

"I guess so," Zhou Ning said with a smile. He didn't mind it. To some extent, she was his junior, and he had been chatting with her casually.

From her, Zhou Ning learned that they were students of the Warrior Department of Wick University, and more than half a year ago, they followed Brad Palmer, a professor of the Warrior Department of Wick University, to the King's College in the Maritime Kingdom of Revendreth as exchange students.

Originally, the exchange student's stay was due to expire in six months, but Brad Palmer had recently received a mission to the Byron Republic, which delayed their stay for a full four days before the assistant coach led the team back to the University of Wick by land.

Brad Palmer?

The name sounded familiar. Zhou Ning thought about it and dug out the name from the depths of his memory. This person should be Xiek's student and a senior member of the Knowledge Council.

Just at this moment, the aisle between the trains was pushed open, and a young man wearing a black teaching assistant robe and a short haircut walked in. The female students who had been chattering suddenly shut up.

Zhou Ning smiled faintly as he looked at the young man in front of him. He happened to know him: Warren Morton, his former schoolmate and heir to the "Courage" Morton family. A few years ago, on a steam train heading to Xilin Town, Zhou Ning had saved him from an ice giant attack. They were considered friends.

Unexpectedly, after graduation, he actually stayed on as a teaching assistant. Is this a new way to get rich?

Warren Moulton said in a deep voice:

"A large tidal wave of wind and snow has formed ahead. We could be attacked by elemental creatures at any moment. This is a rare opportunity for practice. I hope everyone is ready for battle at any time."

"Yes! Assistant Professor Morton!" The students responded in unison and loudly from the carriages in front and behind.

Very energetic. Zhou Ning couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth.

At this time, Warren Morton looked at Zhou Ning and asked with a hint of doubt:

"Have we met somewhere before, sir?"

"Maybe." Zhou Ning smiled without explaining.

As he was speaking, the snowflakes around him suddenly became denser. The steam train had already climbed to the waist of Mount Noe, which was more than 2000 meters high, and directly entered the meteorological tide. In Zhou Ning's spiritual perception, there were actually a large number of powerful creatures hidden nearby.

A few have even reached the level of Angel King.

According to legend, the mountain top here was once the habitat of Charybdis, the twelve-faced dragon god. Even now, there are still a large number of dragon nests around it. The dragon worship of the Byron Republic originated here.

Zhou Ning narrowed his eyes. Under normal circumstances, this journey wouldn't be dangerous. In the extraordinary world, all steam trains were equipped with enough combat power to defeat a group of super-class creatures. But now, that was no longer certain. After entering the meteorological tide, the probability of encountering elemental monsters was practically 100%.

The main plot of the second version of the previous game, Elemental Chaos, begins with a large-scale extreme cold climate.

During that time, the combat power of elemental creatures almost doubled. Furthermore, since steam trains were considered vehicles, there was a real possibility of encountering a crisis.

The coincidences that have happened all the time have made Zhou Ning a little insecure.

However, what he needs to do now is to "watch" and "witness", and not take action until the necessary moment.

When we reached the shoulder of the mountain range at an altitude of nearly 3,000 meters, the rails and sleepers were close to the cliff. When the steam train passed by, it made a creaking sound, giving people a feeling of swaying in the air.

In Zhou Ning’s previous life, this place was actually a popular check-in spot for internet celebrities, and was also known as the most dangerous railway in the entire Apocalypse world.

Just as the steam train drove up onto the sleepers, the entire carriage suddenly shook violently.

The entire steam train gradually tilted to the right, and several students lost their balance and rolled to the right, falling flat on their backs.

With his extraordinary agility, Zhou Ning naturally couldn't lose his balance, and he even had time to grab a student.

Then when he looked out the window, he found that on the edge of the carriage in front of him, there were several giants made purely of ice climbing up onto the train.

On top of a higher rock, a demigod-level blue frost dragon was taking off from its dragon nest hidden on the top of the rock.

"This……"

Zhou Ning did not rush to take action, but simply controlled Valentine to create a hidden small hurricane in front.

The hurricane blew away the frost dragon that had just taken off, and blew the other elemental creatures that had followed the ice giants to the train off the cliff, where they plummeted to the bottom with a long, wailing cry. It also blew the train, which had tilted outward at nearly 30 degrees, back onto the track.

With a creaking sound, the steam train regained its balance.

There was already a good defensive force on the train, and the students from Wick University also had certain combat capabilities. The several ice giants who climbed onto the train were killed one after another without causing any casualties.

It was not until this time that Zhou Ning couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. How come it was even more tiring than doing it himself?
