Train Survival: You're really trying to survive!

After collecting all the materials, Su Li said to her teammates, "So this exploration is over. Everyone, think about whether there's anything we need to add or anything we've missed. If not, we'll leave this world."

“No,” Sophia replied succinctly.

The young man slung his shield behind his back, stretched his shoulders, and replied, "It's been confirmed."

Song Mingyu then took out her manual, flipped through it for a while, and then said, "I have no questions either."

"Then go!"

Zurich closed the train's isolation door, then started a fire and began the train's operation.

The train slowly started moving, heading towards the teleportation vortex provided by the Eternal System.

As the train entered the vortex, Su Li and the others steadied themselves and sat firmly. Their previous teleportation experience hadn't been pleasant.

Upon entering the vortex, a very uncomfortable, heart-pounding sensation, as if falling from the sky, accompanied by the mental shock they had experienced earlier, returned. The illusion of all five senses working together reappeared; a deluge of chaotic information bombarded their senses, making them feel nauseous.

Unfortunately, this feeling can only be endured by the individual at present. It's true that Song Mingyu's magic can alleviate these symptoms, but Song Mingyu herself has also suffered from this shock. At this time, trying to help someone else alleviate their mental distress is like performing brain surgery during a magnitude 7 earthquake—it's suicidal.

Su Li took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. Based on her previous teleportation experience, the beginning and end of the teleportation were the most difficult, followed by a period of calm in between.

Sure enough, after a short while, Su Li felt the shock of the information she had received disappear, as if she had entered the eye of a storm, and felt a sense of oppressive calm.

Su Li held her breath, waiting to resist the impact of the storm entering the eye of the storm again. However, after waiting for a long time, Su Li did not feel the mental impact she had just experienced again.

Su Li opened her eyes and found that several of her teammates had also opened their eyes at this time.

The group exchanged bewildered glances, and finally Su Li opened her mouth, blurting out, "What's going on? Is there a problem with the teleportation?"

Song Mingyu closed her eyes again, sensing her body's condition. Ivan instantly raised his shield in alertness, while Sophia picked up the manual, then frowned and said, "Read the manual."

Su Li opened the manual and flipped to the chat room, which was now bustling with activity as many people discussed the problems with teleportation.

—Hey, hey, hey, something bad is going to happen again, isn't it? I thought things would be peaceful for a while.

—If I'd known, I should have gone to another civilization with those big shots. I think this crumbling ship that is Earth Civilization is bound to sink sooner or later.

—Hey, isn't this the infamous good-for-nothing in our district? How come I heard that you were begging him on your knees, but he thought you were too weak and wouldn't take you on?

Ignore these clowns. Everyone, please share any information you have. Earth is already in such a state; only by helping each other can we go further.

—My expertise lies in spatial science, and the initial discomfort I felt was very similar to the information overload described in books, caused by breaking through dimensional barriers. Logically, after a period of discomfort, one should eventually reach their destination. This situation is beyond my current knowledge.

Su Li frowned and shared her discovery: "During the previous teleportation, I felt a mental shock, followed by a calm period of about one second, and then another mental shock. What I feel now is very similar to the calm period during the previous teleportation."

—Yes, I feel the same way.

Everyone shared their previous experiences.

A short while later, a message appeared.

—Everyone, I'm from the coalition government. This is my identification [image]. I immediately sent the question to coalition government personnel and received some information.

—According to the information we just received, we are currently still in the process of teleporting.

—As everyone knows, we are exploring fragments of the world. However, most people are probably not very familiar with the process of exploring these fragments.

—We've all participated in the exploration process, so we won't go into detail. Let's just talk about the teleportation process. To explore the world, our civilization first anchors itself to surrounding world fragments, then opens a portal to teleport us back. However, these world fragments are 'moving'; as we explore, they constantly move away from our world.

—Initially, the entire teleportation process was managed by the Eternal System, but now our civilization has failed and been relegated to the loser's zone. The flame of civilization is extremely weak, and much of the support from the systems and the help from the flame of civilization have disappeared.

—This lost assistance includes teleportation. We can no longer teleport across worlds in the blink of an eye as we used to. At this stage, after leaving our own civilization or world fragments, we need to "fly" in the void for a period of time before we can return to our Blue Star City.

—This “flight” process is risky. Please pay attention to safety, remain vigilant, and wait patiently for the transmission to complete.

The duration of this entire process depends on the speed at which the world fragments are leaving. It could take hours, days, or even months. Please be patient and do not attempt to go outside.

These words were constantly being spammed in the chat room.

Su Li closed the manual and sighed. "Now the exploration period has been extended, I don't know if it's good or bad... but we have no choice. We can only accept it."

Several people sat on the sofa, looking outside. It was pitch black outside, as if a layer of dark fog enveloped the entire train.

That kind of black was a pure black that seemed capable of devouring everything, and looking at it for a long time gave Su Li a chill down her spine.

"Don't keep staring at it, it will increase your psychological pressure and make you overthink." Song Mingyu drew the curtains. "I'm used to making bad plans. From now on, let's try to adjust our mental health. Everyone should try to focus their time and energy on training and studying, and think less about things."

“That makes sense, let’s listen to the doctor.” Su Li readily agreed. “Also, Ivan, we don’t know how long we’ll be staying, do we have enough food reserves?”

Agriculture Minister Ivan nodded. "That's enough. Besides, we're still growing vegetables. We'll have fresh vegetables to harvest tomorrow."

"Okay, with food in hand, we're not worried."

As they were talking, Su Li suddenly felt the train shudder and sway, and an indescribable shock swept over his body, causing his well-trained body to stagger.

Not only him, but the rest of his teammates also stumbled. Song Mingyu, who was pulling the curtains, slammed her head against the glass with a loud bang. Ivan landed face down on the ground with a thud.

Su Li quickly grabbed the table and Sophia leaned against the wall. Neither of them fell down. The sudden change made them subconsciously look in the direction from which the energy came—the left car window.

The black, unidentified substance that should have covered the car windows dissipated as much as fog, as if blown away by a strong wind, allowing Zuli and Sofia to see the scenery outside through the windows.

Su Li's pupils instantly shrank to the size of pinpoints as incomprehensible information violently bombarded her brain through the act of "observation."

Ivan heard two tiny sounds, like grapes being crushed, followed by Song Mingyu's exclamation.

He looked up and saw his brother-in-law lying on his back, blood streaming from his eyes. Between him and his brother-in-law, his sister's chest and abdomen had exploded, and the multicolored blood looked like splashed paint, shimmering with iridescent light under the lamp.
