Train Survival: You're really trying to survive!

The four of them returned to their dilapidated train.

Sitting down at the dining table, Sophia, who had just recovered, was busy at the stove, while Su Li was helping her by chopping vegetables. Chief Medical Officer Song Mingyu lay listlessly on the sofa, next to a five-colored slime. The two, one human and one pet, were lying together, sharing the same atmosphere despite their different species.

They put the secret recipe they hadn't tasted for several days on the table, and the four of them sat together.

Ivan felt a lump in his throat and almost burst into tears.

These past few days, he'd been living in constant fear, terrified that his two closest loved ones would leave him. Thankfully, the outcome was good; the whole family was able to sit here together for a meal, a true blessing from heaven.

"Thank you for your hard work these past few days," Su Li said solemnly to Song Mingyu.

Sofia hugged her younger brother, "Ivan, you've become reliable."

“Sister.” Ivan hugged his sister tightly. “I’m so glad you’re all alright.”

Song Mingyu couldn't help but let out a big yawn. After her treatment, her body was fine, but the emotional exhaustion was overwhelming. "This is my job, it's not that hard. I think you and Ivan are working hard on the front lines."

"Well, everyone's worked so hard." Su Li raised her glass. "I won't say much more. Let's celebrate surviving! Cheers!"

"Cheers!"*3

After downing the beer he had just bought in one gulp, Su Li let out a burp and then started eating.

None of the four said anything. After a hearty meal, they patted their slightly bulging bellies and collapsed onto the sofa.

After dinner, it was time for an internal meeting.

“Let’s take it one step at a time. First, tell me about your situation.” Su Li tapped the table with her index finger. “Let me start by telling you about my situation.”

"I haven't fully adapted to my new eyes yet. One eye contains the fire of the sun, and the other contains the ice of the moon. When our gazes are focused together, it seems to release some kind of energy, which I need to test properly later. My vision has been greatly enhanced, which makes it a little difficult for me to keep up with such rapid and precise changes in perspective. I also need some time to get used to it."

Zuli's motion capture capabilities have been greatly enhanced, and the flow of energy can even be vaguely seen. It's as if she has evolved from a pixelated image to 4K, which is somewhat difficult to adapt to.

"Then I'll do an eye exam for you later. I also have some vision training here." Song Mingyu took out a pen and started writing and drawing in a small notebook. "I know a little about ophthalmology."

"It helped a lot."

After Su Li finished speaking, Sophia also spoke. As soon as she spoke, a five-colored gas suddenly flowed out from the corner of her mouth, making the people around her jump.

Sofia quickly covered her mouth, then waved her hand and explained, "It's okay, don't worry."

"My internal organs were previously eroded by the elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. After being healed, my internal organs now contain the power of the five elements. This power is constantly circulating, making me more compatible with the attributes of the five elements. Moreover, it seems to have some special power, but I cannot understand that power now."

Su Li's expression immediately turned strange. A blonde girl who wielded the power of the five elements gave her a bizarre feeling, like seeing a foreigner dressed in a scholar's robe, holding a folding fan, and reciting classical Chinese phrases.

As her bedmate, Sophia immediately saw through Su Li's thoughts and gave her a rare glare, saying, "It's all because you always tell me these things."

During his "wise man" phase, Su Li liked to ramble on. Since there were no more countries in the world, he didn't know how to talk about politics anymore. So he started talking about the development of power in various novels. It was not only fun, but it could also serve as a reference for future power development.

"Nothing, I just felt something was a little weird."

Ivan said with concern, "But I noticed you seemed to be walking a little awkwardly, sister."

“Yes.” Sophia nodded. “Because of my changes, my perception is different from usual. I feel that my internal organs are resonating with my surroundings, as if I am in an ocean of the five elements. The waves of the ocean make me drift with the current and I can hardly control my body.”

"Is everything alright?" Su Li asked.

“No problem,” Sofia said confidently. “With more practice, I should be able to adapt. I feel much better now than at the beginning.”

Song Mingyu interjected, adding, "I also know a little about rehabilitation, so I can help you."

"Thank you so much."

Su Li clicked her tongue, feeling that this seemingly颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it implies a state of being listless, dispirited, or颓废) doctor sister seemed to be hiding something more.

After recounting the two men's physical conditions, Ivan inquired about what had happened on the train, "What exactly happened? Did you see some kind of evil god?"

Seeing the concept of "evil gods" was a common suggestion in the chat room. Ivan had seen many such suggestions, and names like Azathoth and Cthulhu frequently appeared in the chat room.

“No, if it were those big shots, I should have several more eyes and tentacles by now.” Su Li shook her head, revealing the answer: “We saw it, the destruction of the world.”

"The destruction of the world?" Ivan repeated the word, puzzled.

"Yes, the destruction of the world."

Su Li explained, "The system once said that unless it is an anchored world, most world fragments will eventually be destroyed."

"What we are seeing is a world in ruins, and then the last burst of glory."

Su Li recalled the scene she had witnessed earlier, her tone somewhat emotional, "The fragments of the world entered the final stage. The outer membrane, which was like a bubble, burst open, and then all the information and all the truths that constituted this world spread out in an explosion."

"And Sophia and I were unfortunate enough to witness the moment when that truth collapsed. In the theory of the extraordinary, seeing is a very important means of receiving information. Through seeing, a large amount of chaotic information assaults our spirituality."

"In that instant, I thought of many things, such as the Dao and the Dao, the Five Elements Escape Technique, and even the Ultra Guillotine and other such nonsense. But these things are all superficial. What I have truly studied is the Ice and Fire Sword Style that I learned from my master, which is a magical attribute attack. These things that I have truly studied resonated with some of the scattered truths."

"In the end, all I could think of was Pangu from the myth, whose eyes transformed into the sun and moon, a blazing sun and a cold moon."

"This realization caused a mutation in my eyes, but the mutation was too brutal. As a mere newcomer to the Iron level, even the most basic resonance was too much for me to bear. The end result was that my eyes exploded, causing fundamental damage."
