Train Survival: You're really trying to survive!

On the barren seabed, a massive teleportation vortex suddenly appeared. As the vortex fully expanded, tracks began to appear on the ground, and then a jet-black train burst forth from the vortex.

Following closely behind were the second and the third vehicles.

Five trains emerged from the whirlpool, forming a long, serpentine shape, and came to a stop on the seabed.

After taking some time to recover from the discomfort caused by the teleportation, Su Li carefully opened the shutter on the car window.

This barrier was added during this renovation. It will be closed every time we teleport, to prevent anyone from accidentally seeing what's outside and causing a repeat of the previous accident.

After exploring the area, Su Li spoke to her teammates, saying, "Outside is the ocean, the world we stayed in last time."

Ivan and Sophia both breathed a sigh of relief, while Song Mingyu, bored, scribbled on her notebook with the tip of her pen and said, "Don't be too nervous. Didn't the last investigation say that these things are probabilistic events? Let's not say that we're always this unlucky. Even if it happens, as long as we don't look at it, it won't affect us."

According to statistics released by the United Government afterward, the incident affected nearly 8 million Earth players, of whom 30 were infected.

Players with insufficient strength couldn't withstand the information overload and died instantly from headshots. The vast majority of the remaining players opted for the Root Seal. Only a small number were able to accumulate enough Survival Coins for Perfect Healing and chose Perfect Healing.

"Once bitten by a snake, twice shy. It's understandable to be nervous after just suffering a loss," Su Li defended her behavior.

Song Mingyu nodded in agreement, "What you said makes sense."

"Alright, everyone, check your status first." Su Li clapped her hands, bringing the topic back on track. "We'll contact Zheng Hongyuan and the others later; we're going to find the Abyss Serpent."

The train commander gave the order, and the group began to check their equipment.

There's not much to say about Su Li and Song Mingyu's equipment; it's the same old set. Sophia and Ivan's equipment has changed a bit.

Ivan's shield had broken before, but when he was in Blue Star City, he had someone replace some materials and make a new shield for him.

He had sold all his equipment to accumulate survival coins. Now he was wearing his sister Sophia's Crystal Feather Serpent set. Considering Ivan was a front-line tank, this set was given to him. Ensuring the tank's equipment is paramount in team fights; that's common sense.

If the tank dies, or the healers can't keep up, it's a wipe. Poor DPS gear just means the kill will be slower.

Therefore, Song Mingyu and Ivan's equipment must be secured first.

There's one set of magic-based equipment left, which naturally goes to Su Li. At least he can serve as an off-tank.

But we can't let Sofia wear standard equipment like armor and leg guards. That kind of gear is too inconvenient in the sea.

After much thought, Su Li shamelessly asked Zheng Hongyuan for a diving suit and had Sophia put it on.

Sofia changed into a tight-fitting wetsuit, making Su Li's eyes light up. No wonder she studied dance; her figure was amazing, embodying a streamlined beauty. Wearing his scorpion-tail coat, she exuded a unique allure.

Okay, we'll use this tonight.

Su Li silently gave herself a thumbs up. Then she met Sophia's gaze, and Sophia immediately saw what Su Li was thinking, giving her a slightly shy wink.

The two exchanged a fleeting glance, then became serious and continued checking the equipment.

After confirming that the equipment was correct, the group arrived at the repaired operations room.

The weapons for each person were placed on the shelves in the operations room. Su Li picked up her own Mountain Scythe and gently stroked it.

The sword had a faint glow on it, a result of the careful maintenance provided by the equipment rack in the operations room.

[Equipment Rack]

After the equipment is placed, its durability will slowly recover. Once the durability is fully recovered, leaving it for another 6 hours will grant a 24-hour "careful maintenance" buff.

[Careful Maintenance: Attack and Defense Performance +10%]

With the weapons packed up, it's time to check out this support mission.

On the wall, there is a yellow cabinet with the emblem of the god of pioneering on it.

[Support Supply Box]

Sponsored by the God of Pioneers

One combat item is randomly provided each exploration cycle.

Followers of the God of Pioneers will receive an additional special support.

The light on the cabinet is green, indicating that the supplies for this exploration cycle have arrived.

Su Li opened the cabinet, inside were two small cloth bags.

Su Li took out the cloth bags and weighed them in her hands. The two bags together weighed about half a pound. She felt them and found that they contained square objects.

Zuli opened it and then used the system to view the items.

【Air Candy】

[Candy made by an alchemist under the command of the God of Pioneers]

When held in the mouth, it releases air suitable for the user and regulates the user's internal and external air pressure.

Each piece can last for 2 hours and will be destroyed after this exploration ends.

Su Li's face lit up with joy: "The items given by the God of Pioneers are quite meaningful, and they are all very timely."

Both bags of props contain air candies, with 10 candies in each bag, totaling 20 candies.

While it may not cover the entire journey, 10 hours of exploration time is sufficient.

It's best to keep this kind of prop in case of unexpected situations.

There are 20 candies, and each person can get 5 candies, enough to keep them breathing for 10 hours.

Unfortunately, this valuable item will be destroyed after the exploration is completed.

After accepting the candy, the group reconnected with Zheng Hongyuan and his team.

This time, Zu Li and his team brought four convoys from the United Government. Three of them were there to do the work; they were responsible for using their methods to pull the Great Serpent of the Abyss to the world fragment belonging to Blue Star City.

The other team was Su Li's old acquaintance, Zheng Hongyuan's team.

The real leader of Zheng Hongyuan's team was Qi Guohui, a powerful figure in the United Government. Zheng Hongyuan was essentially their team's logistics and political commissar.

Qi Guohui was in charge of the battle and decided on the team's actions, while Zheng Hongyuan supported them from behind.

It's worth mentioning that Qi Guohui was also infected initially, and the United Government paid for his complete treatment. He reportedly received enhancements in water-related aspects, which is why he was assigned this mission.

The objective of this operation is to establish contact with the Great God of the Abyss, help him resolve the parasite problem, and then persuade him to come to the world fragment of Blue Star. If successful, the engineering team will begin setting up the teleportation; if it fails, then more mines will be transported back.

The reason they were able to come here with Su Li was because of a prop.

Temporary Team Contract

[A temporary team can consist of a maximum of 5 teams, subject to the impartiality of the Eternal System. Teams can negotiate their own team formation terms or use the default terms provided by the system.]

It was thanks to this prop that they were able to form a temporary convoy centered around Su Li, hitch a ride with Su Li, and after six days of rehearsals, arrive in this world.
