Train Survival: You're really trying to survive!

The yellow mud kicked up by the train would remain for quite some time, forming its 'tracks.' Anyone with a keen eye could easily follow these tracks to find Su Li and his companions. Su Li and his group had no good solution. They could only hope that things would improve once they left this yellow muddy area and reached the bluish-green region, which they guessed was an algae-covered area.

At 6 a.m., Su Li, who had slept for 4 hours, walked out of the dormitory. As a superhuman of the Iron level, with the double blessing of the dormitory and the bed, Su Li and his friends only needed to sleep for 4 hours to be full of energy.

After washing up, Su Li put on her gear over her diving suit and then left her dormitory.

When Zuli strolled leisurely into the duty room, Sophia was cooking there.

Seeing that Ivan and Song Mingyu were not there, Su Li went up to Sophia and hugged her, giving her a brief good morning kiss, before sitting on the sofa and waiting for dinner to be served.

While Sofia was still simmering the soup, Ivan, who had finished his morning exercise and taken a shower, arrived at the duty room wearing full armor.

This was something Su Li specifically requested. Everyone had to wear their equipment at all times while in the fragmented world. Even after being intimate with Sophia, Su Li would put on his difficult-to-wear diving suit before going to sleep.

Breakfast has changed quite a bit compared to before. First of all, there's snake soup, because the meat of the Crystal Feather Snake has spoiled and has been removed from Su Li and the others' table.

Then there were the various foods that Sofia traded for. Because many people in their small group had died, Sofia turned to other people to trade with, and the dishes also changed somewhat.

After finishing the last and most difficult dish, the Dream Worm Soup, and plating it on the table, Sofia wiped the water off her hands on her apron.

But before Sofia could even say that dinner was ready, the entire train suddenly jolted. Then, an alarm sounded from the life support unit.

"What happened?" Song Mingyu asked in surprise. She had died in the second world while cutting down trees, so her combat awareness was lacking.

While Song Mingyu was still in surprise, the three experienced Su Li and his companions had already run towards the operations room in an instant. Song Mingyu quickly stood up and followed behind them.

Su Li glanced at the text and pictures on the life support room's display screen. On the screen, the rear carriage had turned red, and there was a red cross next to the workshop.

"The rear compartment is flooded; we're very likely under attack. Ivan, go out first! Be careful of enemy ambushes."

Su Li grabbed her mountain shovel, put on her oxygen equipment, and then entered the disinfection room. She closed the door, and then the disinfection room began to be filled with seawater.

Zuli activated her magical energy to quickly adapt to the external water pressure.

Before Sophia and Song Mingyu could even adjust to the door opening, Ivan had already taken the lead, raising his shield and jumping out of the car.

Ivan curled up, most of his body hidden by the shield, and then quickly landed. After scanning the area and quickly assessing the situation, he gave the group inside the door a hand signal to quickly regroup.

Su Li and the others filed out and floated to the ground.

After landing, Su Li looked at the carriage behind her.

In the middle section of the carriage, on the top, there is a huge conch shell embedded in the carriage.

The conch shell was about half the size of the train carriage. At the front was a huge bony structure resembling a ram, and at the rear, it was constantly spewing out jets of water. The entire conch shell acted like a drill, relentlessly destroying the carriage. Large amounts of bubbles surged from the carriage, making it appear as if it were bleeding.

Sophia's hands surged with magical energy, the colorless energy transforming into a yellowish-brown hue. She aimed at the giant conch's mouth and fired a magical shot.

A yellow bullet fired from the muzzle, striking the junction of the conch's operculum and shell. Upon impact, yellow magical energy instantly vibrated on the operculum. The force of the earth's tremor caused the operculum to partially break open.

This is the Earth elemental enchantment. After attacking, it deals shockwave-like earth damage to enemies. It's best suited for attacking armored units.

The conch shell, which had been spouting water, stopped abruptly. Sophia stared intently at the conch shell, while simultaneously enchanting the bullets. She enchanted two bullets of each attribute, except for fire-type bullets, just in case.

She then noticed that the color of a small hole next to the cap seemed to have changed.

Without a word, Sofia raised her gun, adjusted the bullet with her mind, loaded it, and fired a light blue bullet that instantly hit the small hole.

"Gurgle gurgle gurgle!" [That wretched hairless monkey!]

A roar echoed from within the conch shell. The high-frequency sound waves and their content confirmed to Su Li that this was definitely a player from another race.

The brownish-brown mouth flap opened instantly, and a huge crab with a yellow and black shell crawled out.

Su Li squinted, staring at the enormous crab. Its claws were very asymmetrical, one extremely large and the other much smaller. The smaller claw held a conch-like object. The large claw, however, was covered in a metallic shell, its jaws gleaming coldly, looking quite intimidating. Su Li had no intention of testing the power of this guillotine.

The crab's head resembles a hybrid of a human and a crab. It has a neck, but it's covered in a shell, making it appear unable to turn its head. Its mouth is crab-like, and its eyes are also crab-like—compound eyes that can rotate and retract into their sockets for protection. This creature must have a very wide field of vision, so it probably doesn't need to turn its head to fight.

The crab's lower body has six huge, robust segments covered with dense, sharp spines, giving it a very stable base.

His back was like his crab shell, covered in scars, giving it a very heavy feel.

Overall, this is an intelligent race whose blatant violence can be understood simply by looking at them.

To Zurich, this crab-man was extremely strange, almost triggering the uncanny valley effect.

The crab-man spread its arms wide, its limbs rising and falling in a manner reminiscent of a shooting game player repeatedly crouching and standing up in front of an enemy—not exactly a tactical maneuver. Meanwhile, it taunted, "Haha, a bunch of hairless monkeys who've come underwater. You'll taste delicious after you ferment."

Well, he's a scavenger after all.

Su Li rolled her eyes. That was the only downside to being underwater; they couldn't speak and could only endure the mockery.

However, whether you survive after being mocked depends on the skill level of the other party.

As the crab-man spoke, another crab-man emerged from the conch shell behind him. This crab-man had hands of the same size, holding a huge conch shell between them, and one of its eyes had popped out. Undoubtedly, this was Sofia's doing.

This crab-man doesn't seem to have much of a brain; it's spitting out foam. I wonder if it suffered some kind of mental trauma from a dream and became mentally retarded.

The giant crab-man, upon seeing Su Li and his group of four, didn't even bother to test them; it simply charged towards them on its six legs.

Ivan raised his shield, ready for battle, while Zuli used the elemental vision she had learned from her teacher to observe the two enemies.

Within the elemental vision, a large amount of water element could be clearly seen gathered in the conch shells held by the two enemies, making this item undoubtedly a magical artifact.

Sure enough, the giant crab-man continuously released water bullets from the conch shell in its hand, shooting them towards Ivan and his group. These water bullets weren't very powerful, but there were many of them, making them a good distraction tool.

The giant crab-man and Ivan clashed instantly. Ivan used his shield to block the crab-man's charge. Then, the crab-man's giant hand attempted to sever Ivan's neck from the side, bypassing the shield.

The enormous pincers were moving so fast that they even created a series of bubbles in the water.

Su Li followed closely behind Ivan, using Mountain Slide to block the powerful attack. Once they made contact, Su Li felt as if he had been hit by a car. Because the mud under his feet was slippery, he was even knocked back ten centimeters by the blow. Fortunately, he managed to land firmly, otherwise he would have made a fool of himself.

The crab-man behind him was radiating an earthy yellow magical glow, which continuously flowed into the giant conch shell in his hand.

Clearly, Sophia, in a charging motion, adjusted her ranged attack, enchanting her bullets with lightning attributes, and fired at the conch shell.

The giant crab-man that charged at them stretched out its claws to the left, trying to block the bullet.

However, a surge of icy blue magical energy erupted from the Mountain Sway in Su Li's hand, and the ice sword of the Ice and Fire Sword instantly activated, freezing the Mountain Sway and the crabman's arm together.

The bullet struck the crab-man's hand as he struggled to gather his strength, and in an instant, a bolt of lightning illuminated an area within two meters of the target. The frail crab-man's charge was interrupted, and the conch shell in his hand was flung into the air.

Then a stream of water mixed with sand and gravel gushed out from the conch shell, swept across the train carriage, and left a scratch.

[Holy crap, a waterjet cutter?!]

Su Li was surprised, but his actions didn't falter. After a brief exchange, he realized that this guy's raw strength was inferior to his own. He only had the advantage of being underwater. On land, he could take on at least five of this type of human on his own.

Then, the Mountain Leaning Technique was activated in his hands. His hands, gripping the sword hilt, trembled, unleashing a shockwave that instantly shattered the ice on the giant hand. He then maintained his sword-gripping posture and smashed the sword hilt down onto the joint of the crab's limb.

On the other side, Ivan also raised his foot and delivered a powerful kick to another segment of the limb.

With two snaps, the crab-man's two limbs were broken.

Before he could even roar out, Su Li wielded her sword with lightning speed, striking his body repeatedly with Mountain Slide.

Ivan activated his power aura and raised his shield. Whenever the crab tried to attack with its giant hand, Ivan forcefully blocked it with his shield.

His hard crab shell was shattered layer by layer by the force of the collapsing mountain. In the end, Su Li chopped off his crab head, leaving him filled with resentment.

The crab-man on the other side, who appeared to be a mage, was also toyed with and killed by Sofia's precise shooting.

Su Li exhaled a string of bubbles and put down the mountain-shaped object in his hand. He looked at the plate of seafood on the ground and began to wonder if this thing was edible.
