Train Survival: You're really trying to survive!

All combat personnel assembled for another short meeting.

Zheng Hongyuan chaired the meeting, and he first shared the latest intelligence.

"Our negotiators had a very pleasant conversation with Orochi. Orochi is a simple man, and we obtained a lot of information from him."

"He harbored some regret over the destruction of the original civilization. Our negotiators noticed his fondness for his 'believers' and promised to make offerings to the great serpent."

"After much hesitation, the giant serpent agreed to our request and came to the Blue Star civilization to help suppress the water element."

"But this serpent is sentimental; he hopes we can take away something that the destroyed civilization created for him."

After Zheng Hongyuan finished speaking, he made a gesture indicating that everyone could speak freely.

The most impatient of all, Jingzhe, spoke first, "It feels like playing a game. First, you do errands to deliver gifts to increase your favorability, then you receive favorability tasks, and you only get rewards after completing the favorability tasks."

The mage Wenwen couldn't help but say, "If this were a game, it would be terrible. There wouldn't be any scenes like 'You must find the xx key to open this door,' would there?"

"It's hard to say, after all, we're currently in a branch version of the Eternal Game, the Eternal Train Game." Qi Guohui smiled slightly before saying, "Alright, enough joking around, let's get down to business."

Qi Guohui placed his hands, fingers interlaced, on the table and said calmly, "Since the Great Serpent has made its request, then this matter is a done deal. Let's start discussing the details."

“First of all, we don’t know if there’s any danger there. Let’s prepare for the worst. We’ll assume there are enemies there. So, who will go?” Qi Guohui looked around at everyone. “Don’t forget, there’s also that player who herds parasites. He might already be lurking near the base.”

"We need someone who can oversee the entire operation. Zheng Hongyuan, you'll stay. Wenwen needs to arrange the ceremony, so she can't go either."

Zheng Hongyuan continued, "That herdsman is very likely to have a giant beast, so the Great Zhou, which specializes in killing giant beasts, should also be kept."

"Understood," Da Zhou nodded calmly.

"Me, Jingzhe, and the healer Xiaogao are going. Our team lacks a front-line tank and magic damage dealers."

After saying that, Qi Guohui looked at Su Li and the others, "Su Li, could we trouble you again? The payment is negotiable."

Su Li and her teammates exchanged glances, and finally Su Li nodded to Sophia, "Since we're already so deeply involved in this, let's see it through. Sophia and I will go together."

"Thank you so much." Qi Guohui walked over and shook Su Li's hand firmly before returning to his seat.

He then concluded, "The departing personnel also include Zurich and Sofia."

"We need to consider whether this is a trap. Is the giant serpent pretending to be innocent, but actually a civilization behind it trying to use our strength to launch a counterattack against our Blue Star civilization and usurp our territory?"

"Old Zheng, think it over carefully, and prepare for the soul and possession tests. Be fully prepared and wait for our return."

After discussing for a while and finalizing the details, several action teams from Su Li arrived at the giant snake's side.

"Hey, big snake, we're ready," Qi Guohui shouted to the snake. "Take us to where you put the things."

[Buzz~~] [A joyful horn sound]

With the serpent's roar, it raised its head again, then lowered it to cast a spell on Su Li and the others.

Su Li and the others radiated a golden glow, a blessing they had received during the last battle against the parasites.

Then, Zuli and the others were enveloped by a giant bubble, which the giant snake held in its mouth and swam toward the depths of the sea.

Su Li had no idea how fast the giant snake was moving, because looking out from the bubble, all she could see was blue, and there was no sense of acceleration inside the bubble at all.

After waiting for about 20 minutes, the bubble finally burst, revealing Su Li and the others who had formed a defensive formation inside.

"Where am I?" The nanny, Xiao Gao, looked around in fear.

Su Li looked around; this was a nightmare for those with thalassophobia.

It was pitch black all around, with no light at all, except for the nearby seawater, which I could make out with the golden light emanating from my body.

Large amounts of debris, of unknown origin, drifted in the seawater, occasionally gathering and dispersing, as if some unknown hand was stirring the currents.

Jingzhe swallowed hard, looking at the dark ocean outside, feeling a chill run down her spine as if she were being stared at by a monster.

Suddenly, a pair of enormous eyes opened in the ocean, and everyone's hearts jumped into their throats.

Then, the eyes narrowed into slits.

[Buzz~] [The sound of a mocking horn]

The familiar bugle call brought everyone's hearts back to their stomachs. They looked at each other, feeling utterly powerless.

Well, this expert is quite mischievous.

Accompanied by cheerful horn sounds, Qi Guohui walked to everyone's side and took out a prop.

However, as soon as the prop was taken out, it was crushed into a ball by the strong water pressure. Su Li looked closely and realized that it was an underwater flashlight.

Qi Guohui looked at the compressed flashlight repeatedly, then took out a depth gauge, glanced at the reading, and calculated the gravity of this world.

"My God, we're 1.2 meters underwater now." Even someone as composed as Qi Guohui couldn't help but exclaim, "1.2 meters without equipment, you can't even brag like that."

Even if the gravity of this world is only 40% of that of Earth, it's still astonishing.

Su Li opened her arms and saw the golden light in them, knowing that it was the power of a great god.

If this were to encounter those parasites that restrain the great gods, and they were to extinguish the golden light emanating from his body, the scene... Su Li couldn't help but shudder.

Qi Guohui immediately contacted Zheng Hongyuan and asked him to trade over a few luminous pearls.

After wearing the luminous pearl, I could finally see my surroundings.

Su Li and the others observed the place.

This was a huge plaza, its surface etched with numerous patterns that, despite the age and the accumulation of dust, remained clearly visible. Zuli discerned some of the patterns, including snakes, certain types of algae, and some that mimicked the scales of a large snake.

Directly in front of the square, there is a huge man-made building ruin that looks very dilapidated.

The group searched around but found nothing except for the ruins directly in front of them. Qi Guohui then gave a hand signal, and the group, maintaining their battle formation, headed towards the ruins.
