Train Survival: You're really trying to survive!

"Absolutely astonishing."

Su Li put down her tools, looked at the air candy that had been disassembled and its components tested, and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

This thing looks simple; it's just about eating a candy and then continuously releasing air.

But after actually disassembling and testing it, Su Li realized just how incredible this thing was.

After consuming this substance, it can quickly determine the user's race and suitable environment, which is already incredibly powerful.

Next, the substances that make up the air sugar will quickly transform into corresponding air, helping the user breathe and regulating the internal and external air pressure.

This involves extremely profound knowledge of alchemy. Zuli couldn't even understand how he did it.

Because this isn't magic, but rather a structure similar to a chemical reaction. If it incorporated some kind of magic, it would be easier to understand; you could just think of it as some kind of spell scroll.

"Fortunately, we've made some progress and figured out some slow-release techniques..."

Su Li jotted down his thoughts and insights in his notebook. But this accumulation of knowledge did not bring him joy.

He was like an ancient person who got a modern solar-powered electronic watch.

When I got the digital watch, I looked at it and thought, "Isn't it just for telling time? My sundial can do that too."

But after taking it apart, seeing the circuit boards and chips inside, I was dumbfounded and couldn't understand anything.

In the end, the research was inspired by the casing of the electronic watch, and the author learned how to tighten screws.

The gap between the two sides is too large, so they can only learn some superficial things.

But it's better than nothing. Su Li is confident that with her studies and in-depth research, one day she will be able to create her own air candy.

"But this slow-release approach is usable."

Su Li put the pencil in her mouth and gently chewed it with her teeth, pondering how to use this technology to create a cheap version of air candy.

I can't do your incredible analysis and matter transformation, but I can make a version specifically for Earthlings.

"First, there's compressed air. Compressing it into a month's worth of candy is a bit difficult... I wonder if there's anything useful in the trading market, and then..."

The train suddenly rumbled and shook, catching Su Li off guard. She swayed and steadied herself by grabbing the table.

Su Li took off her coat, revealing the gear she always wore underneath, and then walked towards the disinfection room.

Upon entering the disinfection room, Sophia and her brother were already there. After waiting a few more seconds, Song Mingyu, whose agility was poor, finally arrived late.

As seawater rushed into the disinfection room, Su Li instructed her teammates, "Eat the air candy, otherwise it will have to be destroyed tonight. The giant snake is participating in the ritual and can't give us any buffs."

"If it's an enemy attack and things look bad, don't hesitate, we'll run away immediately."

After saying that, Su Li looked at Ivan and asked, "Is the boiler lit?"

"It's always running, so there's no need to preheat it; you can start it right away if needed," Ivan replied.

Su Li has complete confidence in her younger brother's work.

“I looked out from inside the car and didn’t spot any enemies,” Sofia added.

Finally, the air in the disinfection room was emptied, and Ivan took the lead, shield in hand, and went out through the exit.

Safety.

There was no one outside to intercept them.

Su Li quickly scanned the area, taking in the overall situation.

Above the ceremony site not far away, there was a huge water sphere, hundreds of meters in diameter.

In the center of the water sphere was a coiled-up giant snake. The snake's body had shrunk completely, and the entire snake was only a few hundred meters long, sleeping soundly within the water sphere.

It's worth noting that the snake's body seems to be only half its original size, abruptly shrinking at its tail, looking comically like a watermelon with a grape attached to its tail.

According to Ockham, the giant serpent was blown in two by the Seahorse Man's self-destruction of a world fragment during the later stages of the Aquatic Wars, leaving it critically injured. That fragment must have been the tissue that regenerated after the break.

The serpent's ritual has not been disturbed; he has now entered a state of returning to his origin, which is expected to last for two weeks. During this time, someone will need to continuously maintain the ritual.

Therefore, for this expedition, only the Zurich team and one logistics team will return; the rest will stay behind to protect the ceremony.

After Su Li and the others returned, they were free to collect their rewards. Su Li wouldn't be needed for the next expedition; the logistics team returning would suffice.

Just then, there was another violent tremor.

This tremor did not originate from the seawater, but from the ground.

Zurich astutely pinpointed the location of the vibration source.

Then he received a message from Zheng Hongyuan.

Zheng Hongyuan – Enemy attack, the attackers are herdsmen.

Su Li—then why don't we let Occam make a move? What are we waiting for?

Zheng Hongyuan – The situation has changed because the attackers are Hai Chao people.

The Sea Tide People?! The race Lin Feng defected from!

Su Li suddenly remembered the days when she was suppressed by Lin Feng.

Zuli—Lin Feng is here too?

Zheng Hongyuan – Lin Feng is not here. There is only one Hai Chao Ren. This is our first encounter with a Hai Chao Ren. The opponent's strength is at the peak of the Black Iron level. We can test their strength and gather some information about Hai Chao Ren.

Zheng Hongyuan: If Ockham were to intervene, the battle would be over in an instant. You can also come and take a look; you don't need to lift a finger, our team can handle this Tideman.

Su Li sent the chat log to her teammates, and after discussing it, they decided to go and check out the battle of the Tide People.

As for fighting the Sea Tide People, Su Li wasn't really interested. He'd already fought two tough battles here, and Su Li wasn't exactly a war maniac, so he had no interest in going to another one.

The group arrived at the fortress at the ceremony site and entered the fortress.

Inside the fortress, a large number of people gathered in the hall, where a huge projector was displaying the battle.

This was also the first time Zurich had seen what the Tide People looked like.

After watching for a while, Su Li concluded, "Octopus Brother."

Yes, the Tide People are a race that resembles an octopus. They look like Squidward from SpongeBob SquarePants. They use four tentacles as legs and four arms.

The profession of this Hai Chao person is difficult to describe.

The sea creature was holding a huge skull in each hand. One skull resembled a snake, while the other was undoubtedly the kind of parasite he herded.

The parasite's skull was refined and inlaid with gems. The Sea Tide Man's arm penetrated deep into the skull from behind, controlling it and unleashing various water-based spells, which also possessed a dark golden glow.

The other skull was continuously releasing purplish-black venom.
