Train Survival: You're really trying to survive!

Now that the discussion is over, it's time to go out and explore.

I just put the gas mask down; it doesn't protect against bacteria anyway, and it even interferes with wearing a scarf.

The train doors opened, and the bulky Su Li and his companions stepped out.

Zuli jumped onto the roof of the train and looked around.

About a hundred meters behind, there was a mark that appeared abruptly; that's where the train landed in this world.

Apart from the ski run that the train had cleared, the surrounding land was all white.

At this time of day, the pale sunlight shone brightly on the snow, and Su Li couldn't help but squint. Even with a layer of black tint under her eyes, she could hardly resist the dazzling light.

"Hey, I wonder if there's a supernatural version of snow blindness."

Su Li jumped off the roof of the car as a little joke.

"How is it?" Sophia asked.

"Everything was white, and we couldn't see anything clearly, but far ahead, there was a lush green forest. Let's drive towards that. We'll pass through the forest and then head towards the mountains further away."

"If only we had a map as a prop," Sophia said regretfully.

In the early stages of exploration, the map items brought them many benefits.

“There’s nothing we can do; nobody’s selling these kinds of props,” Su Li sighed. “You guys go drive; I’ll stay on the combat platform on the hood.”

Once the train started moving, it kicked up a lot of snow, making visibility inside extremely poor, so Zu Li had to temporarily act as an observer.

The three of them returned to the car, while Su Li stood on the hood.

A combat platform was built on the front of the vehicle, but Su Li and his team had not made any further modifications, so there was only a fence and a foothold.

The train started moving, and a plume of smoke billowed from the engine's chimney.

Su Li sat on the platform, "inhaling" the secondhand smoke from the train, quietly feeling the elemental erosion within her body.

As Song Mingyu said, after careful observation, he sensed the omnipresent elemental erosion. Icy elements were constantly accumulating within his body.

After the accumulation of icy elements, the magical energy in Su Li's body naturally began to resist the icy elements, and the two sides fell into a tug-of-war.

At the same time, the weak sunlight in the sky will also slightly suppress the erosion.

Both sunlight and one's own magical energy dispel the frost, which are passive methods and not very effective, because the external icy elements are endless. Fortunately, they do not require additional magical energy to maintain.

Of course, if Su Li converts her magical energy into solar energy and actively activates it, she can dispel the corrosive effects within her body while consuming magical energy. However, the cost is the depletion of magical energy.

Magic energy isn't inexhaustible. Continuing to waste it like this will cause trouble when you encounter monsters.

The train's speed continued to increase, but the teammates inside, considering that Zuli was at the front of the train, did not push the speed to the maximum, keeping it at 60 kilometers per hour.

At this speed, the cold wind felt like a knife. Su Li took out her laboratory thermometer, which clearly showed a temperature of -56 degrees Celsius.

The temperature made Su Li's exposed cheeks feel icy. He couldn't help but shiver, tightening his clothes and tucking in any gaps that had been overlooked.

At the same time, Zuli discovered that when the wind picked up, the rate of external erosion also accelerated.

After enjoying the breeze for a while and noting down all the data, Su Li used her remaining magic energy to activate the heat-insulating stone in her arms.

After activation, the heat-insulating stone emitted a warm heat, and Su Li felt as if she were hugging a heater, dispelling the chill from her body. Su Li calculated the consumption and found that this low-power mode could last for 3 hours.

Even the erosion within the body has slowed down considerably.

Zurich continued to stimulate the insulating stone, adjusting the power. At the highest power, it could even alleviate the erosion, but at the cost of a drastic reduction in duration, lasting only 10 minutes.

After completing the experiment, Zuli reduced the power and then obediently observed the surrounding situation from the front of the car.

With her keen eyesight, Su Li also discovered that many things were hidden beneath this "white desert".

Zurich discovered some traces of animal activity, which appeared to be from animals that had descended from the sky to hunt their prey.

Su Li glanced at the sky, which was overcast and devoid of birds. However, in the distance, massive snow-capped mountains surrounded the area, and the predators in the sky might have come from those mountains.

"So, from this perspective, the terrain here is a basin surrounded by mountains, similar to Sichuan."

"This place is actually quite suitable for small animals to live in. With such thick snow, they can move around under the snow and are not easily spotted."

What will they eat? Grass under the snow?

Ultimately, this is a destroyed world. Perhaps it was destroyed by a snowstorm, before its corresponding ecological communities could even develop.

Su Li gazed at the distant snow-capped mountains, lost in thought.

Just then, he felt something red appear at the edge of his vision.

"Something in the snow was stirred up by the train."

Su Li immediately became alert.

At 60 km/h, the car wasn't going fast. Su Li strode over to the back of the car and looked behind her.

The railway tracks are laid on the ground, and after the train passes, it naturally pushes away the snow on them, leaving a trail on the snow.

In Zurich's view, a hundred meters away, beneath the cleared snowdrifts, there was some red snow.

[Was it an animal that was run over? Or something else?]

Regardless, it's worth watching.

Su Li opened the manual and sent a message to Sofia, "Stop the car, we've found something."

"Squeak~~~~~"

The train applied the brakes, and because the tracks were covered in snow, it slid for a distance before coming to a complete stop.

Sofia and the other two opened the car door and met up with Zuli, who had already jumped off the train.

Zuli had already explained his discovery in the message, and the group quickly formed a combat formation and moved backward along the train tracks.

After the snow was shoveled away, the soil underneath was revealed. When Su Li stepped on the soil, she found that it had been soaked in frost elements. The black soil had a frosty white hue and was surprisingly hard.

The snowfield was quiet, except for the crunching sound of Su Li and the others' footsteps on the snow, which made Su Li want to eat potato chips.

After walking several hundred meters, the group finally approached the place Su Li had mentioned.

Sofia pulled down her hat, her small, delicate ears twitched as she listened intently to the sounds around her. Not far away, amidst a pile of dirty snow, a patch of dark red snow suddenly appeared.

Su Li sniffed the air. "There's no smell of blood, but rather a...fruity fragrance."

"Berry?" Ivan asked.

"I don't know, I'll go check."

Su Li walked slowly forward, but suddenly heard a crisp breaking sound under her feet.

He lifted his foot and looked down, only to find a few small twigs.

“The roots of the bushes.” Su Li kicked at them with her foot, then looked at the red snow.

In the red snow, Su Li found a clump of paste-like substance. He picked it up with his sword and examined it closely, finding that it looked somewhat like a cherry tomato.

"Are they really berries?" Su Li took out a glass bottle, put the berries in the bottle, and then put it in her inventory.

"Let's go back to the train. Song Mingyu, you check what this is."
