Train Survival: You're really trying to survive!

After finishing mining, Su Li looked at the black iron treasure chest in the middle.

He had just come up with a good idea while mining.

First, tie the pickaxe to a rope, then throw the pickaxe over and use it to hook the box over.

Zuli walked around the area, covering a radius of 2 kilometers, and spent about ten minutes collecting 20 samples of weeds.

Then, combine the weeds into rope. The synthesis system is not rigid; depending on the quantity of weeds submitted, ropes of different lengths can be synthesized.

Zurich synthesized two 5-meter-long ropes and then tied them to both ends of the pickaxe.

She tugged at it to make sure it was securely tied. This was a method of tying that Su Li had seen before when doing English reading comprehension exercises; it was extremely secure.

Then, Su Li grabbed both ends and started spinning around.

He first let out a 1-meter-long rope, which made it easier to spin. Once he got it spinning, he started letting out longer ropes. He continued until he had let out a total of 5 meters of rope.

At this point, because of the increased length, the pickaxe's speed had slowed down. Zuli seized the opportunity and tossed it towards the treasure chest in the middle of the boiling spring.

The pickaxe traced a parabola before falling into the water.

"The landing point is a little off, but it's not a big problem." Su Li held a rope in each hand, and with a flick and a swing, gradually surrounded the treasure chest.

After confirming that the area was surrounded, Zuli began to pull the pickaxe.

The pickaxe hit the treasure chest and pulled it towards Zuli.

The last Black Iron Treasure Chest was still in Su Li's car as a storage box; he was familiar with this kind of thing.

In the wild, this treasure chest weighs only about 20 pounds. If a player takes it and smashes it, they will get 2 units of iron ingots.

After opening the black iron box, Su Li touched it and found it was extremely hot. He had to use another pickaxe to pry it open.

"God help me, I'll get the goods!" Su Li prayed as she pried open the treasure chest.

Upon opening it, Su Li discovered five different items lying quietly inside.

[Obtained 3 baits, 1 skinning knife, 3 silver ingots, 1 iron shovel, and 1 iron shovel blueprint]

[Bait: A fishy-smelling bait can lure carnivores]

[Skinning Knife: When dissecting animals, you gain +1 pelt]

"Blueprints again? I'm so lucky~ And there's a knife and silver ingots too, haha, I'm so lucky~" Su Li smiled broadly, completely unaware that the treasure chest she opened this time was only slightly better than the guaranteed treasure chest.

The real lucky ones are the ones who can find water purifier blueprints in wooden treasure chests! It's just that they're not very bright and trade away a little bit of food with others.

After getting the treasure chest, Su Li resumed her arduous work as a porter.

Small items like elemental shards were kept in his pants pockets. Other materials were moved in batches according to their rarity: silver ingots first, then coal and ore, and finally miscellaneous stones.

Carry bait with you at all times, in case you get surrounded by animals like hyenas.

The main theme is "From the Heart!"

As a result, it started raining after only one trip.

The sky outside was so overcast it felt like the lights were off; moving things felt like groping in the dark. Su Li thought for a moment, still worried about losing her materials. So, she used a twig and a piece of coal to make a torch.

[Torch: Can burn continuously for 6 hours]

Place the torch by the indoor window so you can orient yourself when it gets dark. Then, Su Li empties her backpack and goes out to collect materials.

Su Li could bring back 100 units of materials in one trip. She could also carry some on her back. Su Li did the math, gritted her teeth, and carried a little material each time. After several trips and spending some time, she brought everything back.

And the rain finally came down when he returned on his second trip.

The land seemed to suddenly switch from silence to maximum volume, with thunder rumbling and raindrops the size of soybeans soon turning into even larger drops, pounding on the train's metal surface, making an exceptionally noisy scene.

The heavy rain washed away the surface soil from the grayish-yellow rocks, revealing their true bluish-black color underneath.

"Whoosh! It's raining!" Su Li was extremely excited. He had loved rain since he was a child. While others found rain noisy, he found it exceptionally peaceful for sleeping or reading. It wasn't until later, when he learned about the concept of white noise, that he understood what it meant.

"It's still thundering outside, I hope it doesn't strike my side." Su Li prayed for a moment, then took out the 10 wooden buckets she had just made, adding them to the original buckets, making a total of 15 buckets.

To improve water collection efficiency, Zurich also made a simple funnel out of wooden planks for each barrel to enhance the water collection effect, and then placed the four barrels under the train's drain strip.

Each of these wooden buckets can hold 10 liters of water. Once they are all filled, he will not lack water for a while.

Zurich doesn't plan to stockpile more; if the container is full, 150 liters of water will be enough to drink for a long time.

After setting the wooden tubs in place, Su Li took off her clothes and went outside.

The rain outside was now pouring down, even more powerful than the old showerhead in Su Li's house. Taking advantage of the rain, Su Li scrubbed herself clean. Then, she picked up a wooden bucket and began washing her clothes inside.

The jacket is fine, I haven't worn it much. But this T-shirt is covered in layers of white salt and alkali, especially around the neck and armpits. I can't go into details, or I'll throw up.

Without soap, Su Li could only scrub herself with her hands for a while until she felt it was enough, then she took her clothes and returned to the train.

After tying a clothesline with a rope and hanging the clothes up, Su Li lit the furnace and began smelting iron ore. Once finished, Su Li lay naked on the train floor.

He found the iron plate floor too hot, so he took out some wood and laid out a bed. He originally wanted to lay some dry grass on it, but it was too prickly, so he took back a straw mat.

"It's raining, so I won't go out running. I'll rest for a while and wait for the rain to pass before I go to cut down trees. After that, I'll go to other places. Right now, I don't have any survival pressure, so I'll just gather more supplies."

"Every piece of supplies I collect now could be a lifeline if I ever find myself in trouble in the future!"

"Go, Hamster Man!"

After giving herself a pep talk, Su Li felt sleepy. She checked the time; she had started working around 2 a.m., and it was already past 7 p.m.

Close the windows and lock the door. The temperature has dropped sharply because of the rain, and Zuli even feels a little chilly.

Su Li took a piece of coal from the furnace, lit a fire, and then began processing the bird meat.

He hunted four birds in total, obtaining eight catties of bird meat. He ate the meat for several meals, and one catty remained, which had been sitting for two days and was starting to taste bad. Zurich lacked refrigeration facilities, so he had no choice but to roast it and eat it.

Not only the bird meat, but the brown algae they had collected earlier also tasted rather unpleasant. Zuli picked out some that were alright, dried them, and then put them back.

After the food was cooked, Su Li ate a piece, about half a pound, then lay down on the floor, covered her belly button with her coat, and fell into a deep sleep.

The night passed peacefully.
