Train Survival: You're really trying to survive!

Sofia returned to the operations room, placed her dream in the charging cabinet, and then activated the cabinet's effect.

The charging cabinet emitted a colorless glow, which then slowly transformed into a silver-gray magical energy, gently entering the dream world.

During this time, Zuli operated the train with one hand, held the manual in the other, and opened Ivan's chat window.

Ivan went alone to the very back of the carriage and observed the enormous monster outside through the rear window.

Zurich tentatively named this enormous monster Leviathan. Its exaggerated size made the name Leviathan quite fitting.

Ivan: [Leviathan is still feeding on that giant octopus.]

"How exactly does it eat? Send me a video," Su Li continued to inquire. At the same time, he kept searching his memories for information on similar monsters, making speculations about this Leviathan.

The currently known information is that this Leviathan has no scales on its body; instead, its body is covered by a fleshy membrane.

Zuli opened the video Ivan had sent her and carefully observed the Leviathan eating in the jewelry.

Their eyes are still fixed on our train; they don't seem inclined to let us go. There's a high chance they'll hunt us down.

In the video, Leviathan tears open the giant octopus's body, ripping out some yellow, visceral-like things, which it then throws into the air before catching them in its mouth.

[It has a playful aspect] Zu Li silently noted this characteristic.

He then dragged the video back to the beginning and continued watching.

[During the tearing, the flesh moved around. There seemed to be a lot of subcutaneous fat, so it didn't seem very vulnerable to blunt force trauma. As for cutting injuries... would the length of my "mountain slope" be long enough to cut under the skin and damage internal organs?]

Zuli watched the video repeatedly and then noticed another key point.

Below its head, there is a layer of gills. It seems this Leviathan needs to obtain certain substances from seawater to sustain its movement. The presence of gills means this is an area with a high density of blood vessels.

Su Li opened another dialog box in the manual: "Mingyu, how is it?"

[The water-borne poison is being prepared urgently. Based on my analysis of the toxins, given the monster's size, at least 42 vials of water-borne poison are needed to trigger the water-borne toxicity within 3 minutes. I have 30 vials on hand, and at one vial every half minute, it will still take 5 minutes. This doesn't even take into account the monster's resistance and antidote capabilities.]

[Make more. But large quantities are difficult to carry. Can it be concentrated?]

"...No, my skill level isn't high enough to concentrate the reagent. This water-erosion reagent contains elements, unlike ordinary reagents."

[Understood, you go ahead with your work.]

Closing the manual, Zuli began to examine another message sent by Ivan.

Brother-in-law, Leviathan is moving!

Without Ivando needing to say anything, Zuli had already heard Leviathan's roar.

It was an unsettling sound, like scraping glass with a wire. Su Li frowned deeply upon hearing it.

The perspective shifts to Leviathan.

The giant octopus, still struggling, used all its strength to bind Leviathan's body and blocked Leviathan's gills with its tentacles.

Leviathan grew annoyed by the octopus's entanglement, bit down on one of its tentacles, tearing the octopus's body in two, then buried its head inside the octopus's body and bit down on its crystal core.

Leviathan crushed the crystal core directly, as if chewing on a cartilage, and ate it with a crunching sound.

The giant octopus wasn't entirely without its purpose in attacking Leviathan; the suckers on its tentacles tore open a gash in Leviathan's gills, and some dark blood flowed from the wound, standing out conspicuously in the seawater.

After consuming the giant octopus's crystal core, Leviathan picked up the giant octopus and charged towards Zuli's train.

Upon receiving Ivan's message, Zuli immediately cursed, "Damn it, they still caught up."

Then everyone was quickly arranged to assemble in the operations room.

The train had already reached its maximum speed, but it was still somewhat different from Leviathan. As Leviathan swam in the water, the magical runes on its body emitted a crackling light, like an arrow darting through the water.

Zurich couldn't stop at this point because the terrain was simply too terrible. This short section of the canyon was very close to the red algae field.

The closer the ocean currents get to the Grand Canyon, the faster they flow. Fighting Leviathan here would mean not only dealing with Leviathan but also resisting the ocean currents, making the odds of victory even slimmer.

Fortunately, a little further along this stretch of road, we enter the interior of the red algae, away from the Grand Canyon. The red algae act as a buffer, slowing down the ocean currents considerably.

In just 10 minutes, Leviathan caught up with Zuli and his group's train. By then, Zuli and his group were ready for battle.

To prevent a derailment, Su Li slammed on the brakes. The train's wheels locked, and it slid along the tracks.

Just as Su Li and the others could sense danger, Leviathan possessed a similar ability. Its instincts told it that there were formidable opponents inside the train.

Leviathan gripped the giant octopus with the claws on its head as the train continued to move. Meanwhile, its green eyes peered through the train windows, scrutinizing Su Li and the others inside.

Being stared at by such a behemoth, every cell in Su Li's body seemed to scream. Her muscles tensed instinctively, and the veins in her arms bulged from gripping so tightly.

Seeing Su Li and the others' reactions, Leviathan's eyelids suddenly closed slightly. It gave the impression that Leviathan was smiling.

Suddenly, the magical runes covering Leviathan's body glowed even brighter, and its speed increased even further. It slowly overtook the train and hovered above it.

Then, Leviathan threw the dead octopus from its mouth onto the train tracks.

From the moment Zurich pulled the brakes to the moment Leviathan dropped the octopus, only about 15 seconds passed. Due to the wet and slippery conditions on this section of the track, the train couldn't stop instantly and continued to slide along the tracks.

The two collided instantly, and the giant octopus was immediately pulled under the train wheels. However, the octopus was so large that the train was lifted up after a violent shudder.

Su Li and the others felt the train shudder, and they were thrown into the air. The train derailed instantly, landed in the red algae, slid a distance, and then came to a stop.

Leviathan let out a roar that sounded like mockery, and it was extremely jarring.

Su Li bit down on the oxygen mask. Then Su Li opened the door of the disinfection room and let the seawater from outside into the train.
