Train Survival: You're really trying to survive!

Sofia and Ivan were on duty that night.

Song Mingyu is not scheduled for shifts for the time being, but the person on duty has a task: to urge Song Mingyu to go to sleep.

the next day.

After having breakfast and doing their morning exercise, the group gathered in the operations room.

Zuli explained her plans to her teammates.

"Let me first address a problem with this world. I've calculated that a day in this world is nearly 28 hours long. Of that, there are only about 9 hours of daylight. Everyone should adjust their perception of time."

"The purpose of our exploration this time is to collect materials, especially the Red Plum Fruit. No one can predict whether we will encounter a world eroded by ice elements again in the future. It's better to be prepared than not."

Today is the second day of our exploration; let's continue collecting berries. Tomorrow we'll head towards the distant mountains, and on the third and fourth days, we'll gather wood from the forests along the way. At an energy level of 1.7, we can collect black iron-grade wood.

"On the fifth day, we entered the mountains to search for platinum and titanium ore."

"After this cycle ends, we will return to Blue Star City to rest and recuperate, and then conduct several more explorations."

The exploration level is currently unstable. This 1.7 level is barely within their control. As long as they carefully avoid Silver-level enemies, they can collect a lot of much-needed materials here.

Continuing to explore other worlds would risk randomly being transported to a higher energy level world.

None of the three teammates had any objections.

"Now that we're all geared up, let's begin today's exploration."

They opened the gate and stepped into the ice field. This time, Zuli and the others wore oxygen masks because there was a large amount of liquefied carbon dioxide on the ground. Now that the temperature had risen, this carbon dioxide was turning back into a gaseous state, resulting in a high concentration of carbon dioxide on the ground.

Stepping into the snow and ice, the cold outside made Su Li shiver and tremble involuntarily.

Yesterday they had almost finished collecting samples from a large plain on the right side of the train, and today they are preparing to collect samples from the plain on the left side.

Zuli took out the sled Ivan had made, tightened the rope, and transformed back into a sled dog.

Song Mingyu controlled the beasts, Sophia was on guard, and Ivan defended; each performed their duties.

The weasel was released by Song Mingyu, and it was clear that this local weasel had adapted well to the weather. It moved freely in the high carbon dioxide environment.

"Logically, carbon dioxide should have settled on the ground, but we didn't find any carbon dioxide deposits yesterday. Does that mean physics doesn't exist?" Song Mingyu asked, puzzled.

“It’s probably caused by the elemental cycle of the elemental field.” Ivan stomped on the ground. “I can feel that the earth is recovering its vitality, dispelling the ice element. The ice element is being dispersed into the sky, and carbon dioxide is rising along with it.”

"Don't worry too much about it. When we reach a more advanced world, the laws of physics will be different. There will be all sorts of supernatural phenomena and eternal nights. Some fairy tale worlds don't even follow logic anymore," Su Li said.

The lower the energy level, the more stable the physical laws.

The weasel sniffed the air, then buried its head and burrowed into the snow cave.

The sled dog Zuli followed closely behind, pulling her teammates along as they collected materials.

After collecting for nearly 3 hours, the elemental erosion on Su Li and the others had accumulated to a considerable extent.

"Alright, let's stop for now and have a cup of tea." Song Mingyu waved to Weasel.

Zurich stopped and got onto the sled.

Sophia took out a small pot filled with water, and Ivan took out a small stove that he had made overnight.

Su Li placed the pot on the stove, took out a piece of charcoal, lit it, and started boiling water.

Song Mingyu was organizing the props she had just collected in the back.

Soon the water was hot, and Sofia put in four more bottles, three of which were honey drinks and one was red berry tea.

"It has a very British feel to it," Su Li joked.

“You know, that stereotype of the British having afternoon tea no matter what,” Song Mingyu chimed in.

Ivan chuckled. "Should I have some vodka?"

"No, no, no, you need to drink antifreeze to get that taste."

Su Li couldn't help but laugh after she finished speaking.

Sofia tested the temperature and took out several bottles of drinks, saying, "Drink them while they're hot."

Su Li picked up her honey water and drank it all in one gulp. She felt a warm current travel from her throat to her stomach and then slowly spread throughout her body.

Immediately afterwards, he felt a special magical energy appear in his body. This warm, sun-like magical energy flowed through his meridians and throughout his body, resisting the erosion of the residual elements within him.

Su Li looked at Song Mingyu. She had just finished drinking the Red Plum Fruit Tea, and the special magical energy was the power of the Red Plum Fruit Tea. Through Song Mingyu's blessing, the effect spread to Su Li and the others.

"Alright, the elemental erosion will stop accumulating within two hours, and the elemental erosion in everyone's bodies will be cleared in 1 hour and 52 minutes." Song Mingyu's tone was like giving a doctor's order. "If a battle occurs, pay special attention to the monsters' skills. The elemental bacteria that live in symbiosis with them will grant them some special abilities. According to my experiments, these abilities basically increase the degree of elemental erosion. So once a battle occurs, remember to activate the heat-preserving stone to keep the elemental erosion below a certain level."

"If the elemental erosion level is too high, even without an elemental damage burst, it will cause the energy circulation in the body to be slow and the movements to be stiff."

Song Mingyu was about to say something more, but Ivan interrupted her by reaching out his hand.

Ivan stared intently at the sky, his expression grave.

Zuli and Sophia looked up at the sky together, but there seemed to be nothing there.

Su Li asked in a low voice, "Did you find anything?"

"...The sunlight is wrong, it's distorted," Ivan replied in a low voice.

Ivan is a Star Knight, a guardian class that can harness the power of the stars. He has learned the Sun Shield, which uses sunlight to form a protective shield, and Sunlight Healing, which uses the sun to nourish the body.

Although Zuli also possesses sun-related abilities, his approach is "I am the sun," manifesting the power of the sun through his own body. Therefore, his perception of the sun in the outside world is not as strong as that of Star Knights like Ivan, who borrow power from the sun.

Ivan suddenly shouted, "Enemy attack! Scatter!"

Then he raised his shield, and a golden shield emanated from his body.

Su Li grabbed Song Mingyu's waist in a split second to dodge. As for Sophia, Su Li didn't need to worry; her agility was far superior to Su Li's.

Then, Su Li felt a sudden pang of fear in her heart. Then, a blurry figure swept past Su Li and the others in an instant.
