Train Survival: You're really trying to survive!

After completing the inspection, Su Li placed the allocated air candies into her inventory and then walked to the disinfection room in the operations room.

Upon entering the disinfection room, they pressed a button, the air was sucked out, and seawater flooded into the room, submerging Su Li and the others up to their chests.

When the water reached his head, Su Li couldn't help but hold his breath. He still wasn't used to being in the water.

The door to the disinfection room opened, and Su Li and the others stepped out of the car and into the outside world.

At this moment, the doors of several other trains also opened, and many passengers walked out of the carriages and came into the water to get used to the welcome.

Some members are still collecting samples to take inside the train for analysis.

Several people who weren't wearing standard swimsuits but instead magical energy equipment walked over. Su Li took a closer look and realized that these were people from Zheng Hongyuan's team, all of whom were combat personnel.

Leading the way was their train conductor, Qi Guohui.

Qi Guohui is an extremely upright-looking handsome man. How upright? Even if you saw him in prison, your first reaction would be that he was probably wrongfully imprisoned.

That's just outrageous.

His profession is a purgatory knight, a profession similar to a paladin in a game, which follows a cultivation-based path.

When developing this profession, the leader is the one who leads the team to eliminate all enemies. They are tough, capable of fighting, and have a lot of buffs. They are similar to Ivan and are usually in a leadership role in the team.

He has five main warriors under his command: support Zheng Hongyuan, known as Lao Zheng in the team; healer Xiao Gao; warrior Da Zhou; energy-type DPS Wenwen; and physical DPS Jingzhe.

Yes, there's one who disrupted the formation. He's only a year older than Zuli.

When Su Li first heard this name, she wanted to ask, "Doesn't this guy feel embarrassed coming up with this name?"

I don't find him handsome at all! Absolutely not!

After Zheng Hongyuan arrived, he cast a spell on Su Li and his team. A chain of light instantly connected everyone together before disappearing.

"The spiritual link has been deployed. Please report if the connection is successful."

"Zurich connected," "Sophia connected," "Song Mingyu connected," "Ivan connected."

This is the advantage of having a powerful backer; you can even acquire such rare skills.

Fortunately, Zheng Hongyuan is also a cultivator, and he has this skill book on him. Song Mingyu borrowed it yesterday to look at it, and he can learn this skill in this cycle.

"Alright, I won't stand on ceremony. If you're not busy, let's get started." Qi Guohui was a decisive person.

Su Li, representing the team, agreed to Qi Guohui's suggestion, and the team began to split up.

Xiao Gao and Da Zhou remained in Qi Guohui's team, waiting for Su Li and his group to begin learning to swim from scratch. Su Li's group left Sofia, leading the remaining members of Qi Guohui's team to explore the surrounding area and conduct some acclimatization training.

None of the people in the coalition government have experience in underwater warfare, so they need some time to adapt.

None of the people in Zuli had formally studied swimming; they were all just dabbling in it. They took this opportunity to learn how to swim properly.

Swimming haphazardly on your own and learning proper, systematic swimming techniques are vastly different in terms of agility and speed. Fortunately, Zu Li and the others are all extraordinary individuals with high physical abilities, so they learn quickly. In just one day, their agility in the water improved several levels.

On their first day in this world, the entire joint team chose to play it safe, adapt to the new world, and practice swimming. The engineering team, on the other hand, was responsible for testing the equipment and collecting world parameters.

After Sofia led them on a tour, Zuli and the others regrouped and trained together.

Sofia learned the fastest. In both flexibility and dexterity, Sofia far surpassed Su Li. Song Mingyu, with her two built-in buoyancy balls, learned with ease. The little boy, still developing, possessed excellent flexibility, while Su Li progressed the slowest.

After a day of training, Su Li and the others were preparing to return to the train for dinner when Qi Guohui came to invite them.

"Are you hungry? Come have a meal with us on our train. Our cook used to be a head chef at a hotel; he's an excellent cook."

Su Li thought for a moment, then nodded, "Then I'll have to bother you."

"Hey, don't bother me, we're comrades." Qi Guohui patted Su Li on the shoulder.

The group then boarded one of the supply trains.

The entire supply train, including the locomotive, consisted of five carriages. The locomotive was converted into a living area, another carriage served as a workshop and dormitory, and the remaining three carriages were all storage cars.

Once inside the train and seated down, the furnishings were quite simple, as no arrangements had been made for entertaining guests. Zuli felt as if she had returned to her high school days, with its gleaming metal tables and long benches that could seat five people – a particularly comforting sight.

When Su Li and the others arrived, many soldiers were already eating. It was the same as in the canteen: a large basin with cooked food, and each person served themselves. Su Li felt even more familiar with it. During her time living in the dormitory, she would eat mutton in the winter, and the mutton fat would be impossible to wash off. As a result, the smell of mutton fat would linger in her mind for several days afterward.

"When it was built, we also considered hosting other people, so this place is rather simple," Qi Guohui said with a hint of apology.

"It's alright, we don't care about that."

Zheng Hongyuan sat down to the side and asked, "What would you like to drink? A soft drink? Milk? Coconut juice? Let me make it clear first, we don't drink alcohol during the mission."

"I'll drink Sprite," Su Li said quickly. Sprite was practically his lifeblood; he hadn't had it in ages and was really craving it.

Su Li's team also sat down. Song Mingyu slumped down, looking like a child forced to attend a drinking party and not allowed to use their phone, exuding a decadent aura.

Ivan seemed to lack this experience, and looking around, he started to act a bit like a child.

Sophia sniffed the air, then asked uncertainly, "A snake?"

Qi Guohui gave a thumbs up, "I heard Sophia, you're the team's cook, right? Great sense of smell, it's a snake."

"Our head chef is skilled in Cantonese cuisine. After entering this game, chickens, ducks, beef and mutton are rarely seen. Instead, snakes and rats are very common, which is perfect for the chef to showcase his skills."

Zuli understood; she had long heard that Cantonese chefs were particularly skilled at preparing snake meat.

Upon hearing this, Sophia became restless. Her specialty right now was making snake soup, and she had two recipes: the wind-attribute Storm Snake Soup and the water-attribute Blue Spotted Sea Snake Soup.

Furthermore, after the aftermath of the last world destruction, she gained some peculiar insights into the Five Elements. Coupled with her recent study of the recipes she obtained from the Kitchen God, she developed some unique ideas.

The team has a problem right now: their diet is too monotonous.

Everyone's stomach capacity is limited. After reaching the Black Iron level, one can eat a lot of ordinary, non-magical food, but can't eat much of the energy-rich secret food.

For the sake of attributes, the team members eat the same thing every day, every meal.

Su Li didn't feel anything. In his previous life, he attended a high school where students served food at a food window. Because he liked the stir-fried lotus root slices at one particular window, he ate them every meal for three years without ever getting tired of them. But it was different for others. Even delicious food can become tiresome if eaten too often.

Sofia could sense that her younger brother Ivan was starting to lose his appetite.

So she wanted to make some changes.

Exploring the world on the edge of life and death is already difficult enough, but having to eat like taking medicine every day is just too miserable.
